N9.2BN FOR STOVES?? KAI! I watched with disbelief as a most inarticulate Minister for Environment Laurentia Laraba announce that Federal Executive Council had given approval of over N9bn for the purchase of 750,000 eco-friendly stoves and 180,000 wonder bags for rural women. Ah, stoves? Wonder bags? At this time of economic austerity? This is just incredible! See, sometimes you just want to wander into a FEC meeting, dig into how their minds work and give them the most comprehensive tongue-lashing they ever received in their miserably insensitive lives! Stove? Pot? Smh! So in the midst of dwindling oil prices, in the midst of poverty and unemployment, in the midst of insecurity, in the midst of lack of potable water in those rural areas, what the FG chooses to spend as much as N9bn on is stoves and pots? Haha! Sometimes you wonder, what is really wrong with this govt? When you think theyre fighting serious battles of credibility and accusations of incompetence, they just go ahead and do something outrageous! I think someone is determined to make money out of that contract even if the country burns for it....and it is just that attitude which has accumulated several enemies for this administration. When a few people in power are hell-bent on making money no matter how bruised public feelings may be, resentment goes sky-high. What is even wrong with this administration? By Iyke Durumba
