Hi Winters, Valentine and all,

I was translating the Nigeria/Ambazonia funding request into portuguese to
post it on the IMC Brasil mailing list but there were a couple of things
that I couldn't understand.

On the Nigeria IMC budget breakdown you ask for $150 for the local
transportation for Nigeria IMCistas within Nigeria and more $150 for the
feeding, accommodation and other logistics for those same IMCistas, right?
But I don't get it, isn't the meeting going to take place on your own
city? And if its not, why is it going to take place on another city on
Nigeria and not on yours? Wouldn't it make the IMC Nigeria budget cheaper?

And about the $200 for technical and internet support during the meeting,
what is it going to be spent on exactly?

I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind answering my questions. But I couldn't
say that I agree or that I disagree with the request if I didn't asked
those questions first.

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
Luis,
CMI Belo Horizonte, Brasil.
