Cynics may be proven right as the Tinapa Business Resort Limited (TBRL) is fast becoming nothing less than a "white elephant project". The "Africa's Premier Resort", as it is popularly referred to, is crawling under the weight of some N18 billion debt and many other problems that were never envisaged by the initiators of the project. Could it be true that the initiators never saw the challenges that are now threatening the existence of this colossal project that is costing the Cross River State government the sum of N100 million monthly to keep alive? But it was obvious from the speak of the former Governor, Donald Duke, during a two-day retreat held a month after the commissioning of the project in April 2007 by President Olusegun Obasanjo , that Tinapa will face some post-construction challenges which I want to believe were known, but overlooked, before the commencement of the project.And I want to quickly say that these are more than a post-constructio...

The inventor, Uriah Smith of Battle Creek, Michigan wanted a car with a resemblance of a horse drawn carriage. And he created the 1889 Horsey Horseless car. It was obvious that he was not thinking very far into the future. His imagination was limited by what was prevalent in his days - horse drawn carriages - and he wanted to improve on it, perhaps.
