Tade,
I have been far away from electricity and hence internet, otherwise your in=
tervention is always very educating and illuminating to me to warrant quick=
 response.  we have been at this right from our small rooms call offices on=
 the 3rd floor or Faculty of Arts Building, Unilag.
Tade, if not blackness, calculate what Nigeria earned from Oil in the past =
10 years. What have we got to show for it? Is it roads, electricity or rail=
? Take a look at the following economies- Malaysia, Qatar, Abu Dhabi even I=
ndonesia with all the problems(population, religion, ethinicity and a more =
difficult terrain). What is happeniing in Zimbabwe, Congo DRC, Cote d'Ivoir=
e etc. Please do not reduce them to new neo-colonialist and those big terms=
.

 Black man na  black man everywhere! How can we explain Ghana importing tox=
ic waste from Canada. Canada has more land to dump waste than than the whol=
e of Ghana. I am sure discussin this issue in this forum will be sufficient=
 to make Ghana have a rethink because some body some where will give a list=

One additional question arising from Ghana importing garbage from Canada, a=
part from those raised as to source (Canada rather than Nigeria or even Acc=
ra) and safety (toxic or not) is the cost. Who will be paying whom? How muc=
h will Canada pay Ghana for serving as its (Canada)garbage dump? Or is Ghan=
a expected to pay Canada for helping it to keep Ottawa clean and wholesome?
As they say, wonders never end.   It seems the West has run out of unservic=
eable motor vehicles and spare parts, unserviceable fridges and computers, =
and =93bosicorner=94 clothing. Since we must always import from the West us=
ing the aid or loans granted by them, what else to import than garbage, of =
which we indeed should be leading exporters?
I thought the government in Ghana was much saner than its Nigerian brother.=
 At least, no Ghana government officials or legislator have held their retr=
eats in Nigeria, as a way of spending hard currency and earning estacode. =
=20
I hope this madness shall pass and President Kuffour would redeem his image=
 of a sane, and committed leadership.
