It is a paradox of our times. Most of the developing world had reps aka beggars at Davos looking for investors but these same world movers and shakers run the investment companies that own these gas flaring businesses in our lands. The daft Nigerian government does not get it and will remain poor to beg until tough decisions become the norm. How about $100B pollution and corruption levy on all the multinationals in our country. This is because, "we are worth it". We can stop gas flaring tomorrow morning, but is there a will to? How many Ghana must go bags of dollars are in the government motorcades? Who pays more? The old lot or the Chinese? If you looked deep enough, you will find that it is always is about corruption and putting out the fire is still a long way off.
