  1. As part of austerity measures, couldn’t we suspend all these “welcome Sir” at the airport. I mean the President has only been away hardly two days. Imagine how much fuel we could save and how much traffic congestion could be avoided if the President arrived, greeted his pilots and jumped into a helicopter to State House. Just asking His Excellency, no offence or disrespect meant, not all. I leave bad manners to our colleagues jj and other uncivilised tribesmen.

  2. what working visit,he was campaigning in his usual style of intimidation and insulting opposition
