The Nigerians have a lovely way to deal with all the institutions that deliver badly. They change the letters in the acronyms into new sayings. In this way they made a big company (NEPA) change its name (PHCN). Without success! We think these OYO’s as we started to name them should be exported worldwide. NCNC National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons turned into No Contribution No Consumption. In Rotterdam we found the reverse: No Consumption No Production. In The Netherlands we have to consume otherwise the production stops.
