[1] Noah was the world’s first known animal conservationist. Bless the great man’s soul for his attempts to preserve as many animal species as possible. Obviously, some species did not survive his bold initiative but why should we not continue from where he left off?

As 2024 gets underway with no sign of massive foreign direct investment in Africa, I think President Tinubu should lead a continental campaign requesting it as compensation for the horrors of slavery, apartheid and colonialism

Ayo Akinfe

[1] Do you know that between 1960 and 1995, Nigeria spent over $61bn to fight apartheid, more than any other country in the world.

I really do hope that President Tinubu sends a team of ministers to Germany soon to study how they completed the most successful public works programme ever. Their Reich Autobahn initiative ended unemployment overnight

[2] We are considered a burden and parasitic leaches by industrialised countries. Make no mistake about it, this will continue for as long as we remain an eternal consumer producing nothing
