down the kazi, it'll just get pocketed by corrupt officials.

Well, how interesting the timing is! Is this a scraping of egg from Cameron's face or was this money earmarked before his comments?

I wonder how many other international donations have been forthcoming as otherwise how are Buhari's efforts to wipe out corruption to be measured using his own resources?

The UK authorities will want to see plenty of return for their investment. Boko Haram are not a force to go quietly....

My first thought was it will only go to inflate London property prices. But there it would just be a drop in the ocean. Is he giving the Afghans anything to help them fight the Taliban?

Ain't we generous, its Money down the drain.

I was going to say, how that much could could help 1,000s of people here in the UK, but you know that already!
