POVERTY MENTALITY.
Yesterday I confirmed that African Leaders are the richest in the World.
They arrived at the UN headquarters in New York each in a convoy of over 20 powerful vehicles hired from American Car Hire Companies.
I was shocked to see European leaders arriving in NY for the UN General Assembly in small cars, and some arriving as a group of European leaders in coasters.
The Prime Minister of UK arrived in a small car with the Prime Minister of Norway, while the Prime Minister of Italy arrived in same small car with Prime Minister of Luxembourg one of the wealthiest economies in the world.
The Germany chancellor arrived in a Mercedes Benz with Prime Minister of Sweden and Prime Minister of Denmark, and three of them sleeping at a budget hotel in Manhattan.
African leaders took over very expensive hotels in lower Manhattan which is the headquarters of the Wall Street, and the most expensive area in Manhattan Borough.
Each African leader was staying in a separate Five Star Hotel with his delegation of politicians from his country.
The African leaders plus their entourage are buying expensive items in New York.
Prime Minister of Israel is sleeping in a Budget Office far away in Queens Borough of New York, while Dutch Prime Minister is in the same Budget hotel with Prime Minister of Malta and President of Czech Republic which is a highly developed nation.
The Prime Minister of Slovakia is sleeping in Harlem in New York in a Budget Office, together with leaders from Jordan.
The most shocking part of it is that those African leaders that took over at least 39 Five Star Hotels in New York are the same African leaders engaging (begging) European leaders, asking them to help them to increase financial support to their respective African countries.
I personally saw the Germany Chancellor looking at African leaders arriving in big motorcades in total disbelief. He was shocked but still he went ahead to meet them.
African leaders in New York are in pomp and flaunting how rich they are!
It was estimated that the presidential entourage of over 100 delegates from Nigeria to the present UN General Assembly was the highest in the history of the assembly itself! It was also estimated that each delegate will cost the government not less than 10 million naira in estacodes and other allowances. At this critical time of economic hardship, spending billions of naira to take more than 100 delegates to an assembly where the president is the only relevant person speaks volumes to the ineptitude of the government.
It is such a shame that the same government with such embezzlement audacity continues to tell Nigerians that there is no money to fund education.
