The cost of living of an expatriate is inflated by the oilmen and the oil business.

Housing:
Oil people hog the accommodations and leave
e nothing for non oil men.

Oil men can spend as much as they want, since the costs are offset against the royalties they have to pay the government.

Non oil men look for whatever accommoation availble and demand outstrip po supply. Price goes up.

Angolans look to any expatriate like they look to oil men: a full walking wallet.

Let me go out of the window of my penthouse (actually my company´s guest house) and make a photo.

Just now the office space and hotels are coming on stream along with other infrastructure: roads, electricity, telecoms and water.

First he productive infra comes up, then, after, the people's. In the mean time we have urban squalor living together with infra being built.

This year government must kick in people's infra, elections planned for the next couple of years, people's infra cannot be neglected.
