AfricanLoft has a featured article on the Obama Nigeria Initiative being spearheaded by the legislator. Hon. Onibiyo Adelabu, the President Obama Nigeria Initiatives, is shown answering reporters’ questions at the press conference in Lagos.
If the Lagos State Legislators have assembled to pool and use their resources to advance a common social cause in their state, I would have been ecstatic. But they chose to gang together to support Obama, thousands of miles away from where the action is, and I’m confused!
I think those resourceful men of the parliament have found ways to deal with boredom by creating a website for Obama, going about recruiting volunteers and hosting press conferences. They are even asking for donations!
If you can come up with any logical reason why this initiative is necessary, or even reasonable, please have you say, here, or on AfricanLoft.
I am speechless…maybe its beign done for comic relief

Being idle and getting into mischief are obviously synonymous. Would there be an end to the shamelessly shameful acts of so called Nigerian leaders/parliamentarians and what have you? The relief for me is that no one is buying into this scam, or are there?
