Intercrap – Strange But True!

Intercrap

Intercrap

I think I’ve seen it all. There’s actually an organization called INTERCRAP. I had to reduce the logo but check to the far right.

It’s a Nigerian organization and I’m really unsure why they have an American flag on their site. The homepage also has a picture of Barry Obama.

Research also shows that inter-crap is defined in urbandictionary.com as:

Trip to Boston

I had the tremendous fortune of having lunch and an afternoon with Nasir El-Rufai in Boston. For those unfamiliar, he served as as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja) Nigeria from July 2004 to May 2007. He tenure and leadership were characterized by a straight shooting, equality driven approach without concession for anyone. For those unfamiliar with Nigerian politics, this is practically unheard of. No, it is unheard of. Though he rubbed several (more like many) the wrong way with his approach, I’m certain that anyone who experienced Abuja when he ran it will speak glowingly of his term. + Continue Reading
