The British, those guys that always do things right and say the Spaniards are the devil, needed cheap labour for the plantations. Not in the XVI century… not, in the XIX and XX… So, between 1879 and 1916, they brought around 60,000 workers from India under a system of indentured contracts known locally as girmit. Five-year agreements. A temporary...
2016. Lagos. A very serious consortium thought it had secured a very serious project... The Fourth Mainland Bridge. Thirty-eight kilometres. ₦844 billion. A 40-year toll-road PPP. Wow.
