That will be nice for him,and I hope that it booms just like Dubai,houses are a reasonable price in Dubai,shops are many,but nothing really to do transport is expensive,busses are limited although good,vehicles are in very good condition and new,no rubbish there,trade is brisk in everything that is brought into the free port,all goods are left on the quayside,theft of these goods is unheard of,there are many immigrants there and the locals are very rich.I shall wait and see! If this plan does take off then GPA better watch out.

In Ivory Coast it was Yamousukoro. In The Gambia Kanilai coming up. Now in Senegal, Wade believes old age is not stopping him from turning the homeland, his fishing village into a city of world class infrastructure. This is great shame and more of selfish greed. The use of public office for personal gratification is not proper.

We can sit here and discuss how unappropriate it is for these presidents to use public office for personal gratification, that still do not stop them from doing it. This is just so typical for African presidents to be so damn selfish and greedy. How can they call themselves the leder of their people without being there for the people??????????
