On Wednesday the 29th of August, 2018, British Prime
Minister, Theresa May, visited Nigeria with a plane
full of business people to help Britain make money in Nigeria .
So meticulously choreographed was her visit, that she came with businessmen and
women that sold or manufactured every item you could imagine from air
fresheners to Scotch whiskey.

Mrs May, who I met twice last year, demonstrated the main
thrust of her visit by travelling with David Schwimmer, the Chief Executive of
the London Stock Exchange. Her entourage to Nigeria was
chockfull of business and industry folk and very lean on civil servants and
politicians. In fact, only two members of her cabinet joined her on her African
trip. If there was any spare space on the Royal Airforce Jet that flew her to
Africa, that space was reserved for people who could bring jobs and capital to Britain.
