And as is usual, ALL the rubbuih and BEGGARS will have been CLEARED from the roads. Building will have been hastily "repainted." "Smartly" dressed police officers will be "on duty." Hand picked "special" children will dance a traditional dance at the airport. ALL "invited" special class guests will be "smiling" and sgreeing eith everything said - and POWERHOLDING will be under strict instructions to ensure "LET THERE BE LIGHT!"
Ban Ki- Moon welcome to Naija!
