Senator Ifeanyi Ubah I greet you... I Mazi Odera POg JP remove Cap for you.
The truth is that uto mu na gi,di Lopsided but that is not the point today.
You have being too busy this days for a chat, so the best way I can reach you is this Reach.
Why I come today is to tell you what I think is best that will help your Philanthropic movement and Moment.
The reason I always held back on you is because I respect any IGBO MAN or Boy Kpatalu Ego, because it is dent of extreme Had work, which means if given a level playing field, the Sky will be the starting point.
Any Igbo Person that hit 1 Billion Naira, no matter the guise should get National Award for greatness, after all we were given 20 Pounds after the Genocide to eat that day and die the Next Day, but if the effect of that 20 Pounds can be seeing at ONUICHA with all the Real Estate splattered like No man's Business and in every City in Nigeria, where Ndigbo held sway with Swag.
It means we are like PHOENIX, that rose from Dust to glory.
You made money at a very Young age, the Hard truth is that what you need now are Advisers who doesn't rely on your STIPEND, those who can seat under Ukwu Akuilu si ya na ona elu ilu.
Those who can be blunt but fair..
I am not advising you for you to take it, after all any body with Billion Naira or the effect, always think and believe that others doesn't have working brain, they believe if your brain is working, welu ya kpata ego, but the truth is "Uba si na Chi, agbakam mgbo bu nri onu" (Wealth is from God, struggle can only provide Daily meal).
Senator,my old man will say "Oyim akam agwa gi, bu ajo ori, mana agwarum gi agwa bu ezi Oyi".
You have tried to create land mark for the Youths, but most times you go about it the wrong way if you ask me, but since you did not ask me, I will say what I think is a better way and "wudo Okpa jewalu" (Walk away without Swag).
You Sponsored many Young Youths to LONDON, to you, you show them the Light and disvirgined thier International Passport,but the enormous fund used to achieve that wasn't appreciated by Sundry including the beneficiaries.
Moving on.. You also took many to RUSSIA which is another Level, making them to watch World Cup live... But I will bring them back to Basic when I am concluding.
This Period you planned to take 150, some said it is 250 Persons to CHINA and it was suppose to be during Canton Trade fair, a feat I know to be a Mirage in Capital letters.
1)China is a Communist Nation and they are not Tourist Nation or Tourism friendly..
Going to China must be Business certified..
2) China Visa now is as strict as or even higher than that of USA and Europe put together, so there is nothing that will make them to see Sponsoring of such Numbers into China as plus..
As we speak those that have being going to China on regular Business finds it difficult to get Visa now, so it will be extremely unlikely that they will Honour people with Virgin Passports.
3)The timing also is very wrong, a canton Fair is a Gigantic event in China... Hotels are very expensive, which make Rooms to Cost at least 400 YUAN, REMINBI, RMB, KWAI (They call the Currency those names).
They would stay for minimum of 7 days, making it =2,800 Per Room.
Let's say they put 2 persons in a room, which means each should get 1,400 Yuan as Room Charge.
Round Trip Ticket is 250,000 ETHIOPIAN AIRPLANE.
VISA should Cost at least 350K for Virgin Passport, that is if at all, they will give.
I don't know If there will be BTA For each traveler, which should be atleast 500 USD but it is A requisite to enter any Country with such Basic Traveling Allowance "BTA" .
SO let's tally the Cost for Each person...
Flight into USD =250K divided by 360 equal to 700 USD
VISA @350k.. Say USD 1,000
HOTEL.. 2,800 divided by 2 persons in a Room =1,400 RMB divided by 7.0. RMB to USD =USD 200.
BTA USD 500..
TOTAL IN USD2, 400 X #360 equal to in Naira #864, 000.
The Total Haul will be 2,400 X 250 persons =600,000 USD.
CHINESE will do the Maths and come to what they the Chinese will do in such situation...
Either they turned them into MULE or they have other Plans that is not good, so they will run with such conclusion and add to the fact that Nigerians went to beg them for money.. I mean our Federal Government went to beg them for Loan, which they gave us with prejudice, and we did not hesitate because we had no option, they will think like the Chinese...
That something is wrong and there is something sinister behind it.
4)They may give your Delegation Visa here, collect the Fees, then on arrival at Guangzhou the Immigration will Stamp all of them Back to Nigeria, that they did not meet the requirements for arrival, then the Embassy will say in response, it is beyond thier Control...
Meaning they Ripped you off and dare you to shout or Mourn.
My advise, taking people to Tours are good, but considering the Economic situation of the Nation, considering that many who went on such Tours doesn't have 50K as savings in Nigeria or even as they Travel, which means they will come back from LONDON poorer, came back from Russia and rushing Poverty.
Then if they travel to China, they won't come back even with Hand Carry..
I suggest you Monitize the travel...
Translate the expense into Cash and let the benefactors use it to start any kind of business, more than 40% will use the money gbaa Oseaka, but over 30 % will succeed and another 30 will move out of Poverty level and that will place you on the cloud of DREAM MAKER of IGBOLAND.
Something that cannot be forgotten by Ndigbo and Youths..
The person that advise you for that CHINA TRAVEL should be sacked, he or she doesn't mean well.
This is an Honest advice, you can take it or throw it at me, my own is , I prefer to have a progressive Ndigbo, than Hyped one.
