    Nigeria is waking up to reality. Let nobody worry themselves over the matters arising in Nigeria. As the world turns and new generations are spinging up new talents are born as well and the all the hidden agendas of the Western World will continue to be open to the Africans. Yes it might take sometimes but don't worry, in a little while Africans will rise above and beyond the expectations of the West. Remember China 30 years ago, now look at China today.

    Iam disturbed, how it is possible for some foreign companies to operate without going by the rules established by the host country. How is possible for foreign airline to evade tax in Nigeria?.Was there no monitoring department or division that supervise?. Where there no alternative plan in place to prevent or prosecute defaulters? I hope nobody received brown envelope and ignore responsibility.
