I might be wading into this probably raging waters rather late, but nonetheless….
The Optimist-Pessimist-Realist-Opportunist scenario model as alluded to earlier in our context is probably one of
the most skewed reference model to be in existence to date that is to account for the tiny handful of oligarchs
who strut our landscape at the expense of the rest of the populace. This I call “oligarchic opportunism” not
“Capitalism, even with a human face”. Now it seems a race for time, for each one of us to get admitted into
the most “prestigious” club.
In fact creating level playing terms in this same context might never turn out to be a level playing field in that sense
of the word after all, but rather, an eskewed level playing field. When you place the elephant and the deer in the same
field to graze, guess who will send the other scampering..! To guarantee and attain equal opportunities for all will
really take us a long time to achieve. We are simply are not anywhere near there yet.
So that it can possibly help this project move forward, I believe the big question here that needs and beg answer is
how do we safely and uncompromisingly navigate past and beyond heavily vested interests. This, as sure as is day
and night, will scuttle this project. The Ps has already alluded to this, regarding “heavenly” promises he’s getting.
As a PPP initiative, this is the single major threat we have in conducting a SWOT analysis on this project. Let’s
immunize it.
Some things are never really that plain to the eye.. And please, let us dream and dream wisely..!

I too don't find Yawe opposing the project, In fact, I see him more as pre empting several scenarios taht may not be anticipated, and thus, his suggestions can be used to prevent them from occurring.
