The rich international businessman, Richard Branson, has lambasted the crop of leaders we have in Nigeria for their high level greed which, according to him, is killing big brands wishing to do business with the government of the country, for the growth of Nigeria’s economy.
Below is the revelations by Mr. Branson on his experience in Nigeria…
The chairman of  said: “…we have virgin’s ill-fated footsteps by setting up a new airline in Africa in conjunction with  government…the details of the doomed attempts to crack the  market in the 2000s is better imagined…we put …together a very good airline-the first airline in West Africa that was ever IOSA/IATA operational safety audit accredited but unfortunately it got tied down to the politics of the country…we led the airlines for 11 years…
“We fought daily battle against government agents who wanted to daily make fortune from us, politicians who saw the government 49% as a meal to seek for all kinds of favour…watchdogs (regulatory body) that didn’t know what to do and persistently asking for bribes at any point…Nigeria people are generally nice but the politicians are very insane…that may be irony because the people make up the politicians…
“But those politicians are selfish…we did make N3billion for the federal government of Nigeria during the joint venture…realising that the government didn’t bring nothing to the table/partnership except dubious debts by the previous carrier, Nigeria Airways…The joint venture should have been the biggest African carrier by now if the partnership was allowed to grow, but the politicians  it…Nigeria is a country we SHALL NEVER consider to doing business again..”

(NINA RICCI fall 2012 ) I don't know why but somehow I was always drawn to ballet. This type of grace, simplicity and elegance of movement can only be seen in this dance… That is why ballet is an inexhaustible inspiration for all types of art. Just remember the sculptures of famous Edgar Degas. After I saw the "Black Swan" movie, ballet got a completely new dimension to me, especially when it comes to costumes. Before I knew ballet costumes took over the runways. This is how designers envisioned wearable ballet costumes. Ne znam zašto, ali balet me je nekako oduvijek privlačio. Ova vrsta gracioznosti, jednostavnosti i elegancije pokreta može se vidjeti samo u ovom plesu. Upravo to je razlog zašto je balet neiscrpna inspiracija za sve vrste umjetnosti. Dovoljno je sjetiti se skulptura poznatog Edgar Degasa. Nakon što sam pogledao film "Black Swan", balet je dobio potpuno novu dimenziju za mene, pogotovo kad je riječ o kostimima. Nisam se niti okrenuo bale
