David E. O. Sarmu from Waterloo, Freetown, writes:

Sir you came to Sierra Leone. Please I would like to know the area of your interest that assistant will be given to.

Daniel from China writes:

Commonwealth is just a body of hypocrites. I have queued in front of embassies of fellow states before I could get to their country.

ANON from Nigeria writes:

What role will the Commonwealth play in the forthcoming Nigerian general elections? Are you aware that there is a conscious plan to bar certain persons.

Bill writes:

My School head once asked me to name for a member of British Empire. I said British Guiana. She replied 'It's not important enoughi. Is it now?

Steve in Virginia writes:

Are there any chances that they might allow any, or all of the 13 colonies, into the Commonwealth assuming it could be done without requiring those states to make a "treaty" which would violate the US constitution?

Anonymous writes:

Has anyone ever proposed hosting the games in America? It's a neutral venue as the only "anglophone" country not in the Commonwealth (as far as I know), America's turnout to the games would be significant, and we've got the funds to host it.

Tony from the Netherlands writes:

What are the benefits for countries which are members of the Commonwealth?

Joe Eme in Owerri, Nigeria, writes:

Abuja and Nigeria cannot afford the games in 2014 or any time. There are more important things begging for attention rather than the jamboree which would be a corrupt politician's delight.

Bill says:

I once asked school head if British Guiana could be a member of the British Empire. She replied it’s not important enough. Is it now?

Bisong from Nigeria writes:

Just like fifa let the games come to Africa in 2014.

John writes:

The Commonwealth no doubt has good intentions and lived up to it so far, but Nigeria and her African pairs have not been encouraging in capacity building.

Ahmed in Nigeria writes:

I don’t think Nigeria is ready to host this games, it will just be another corruption bonanza that will further impoverish it. I’m not proud to be in the Commonwealth.

Bainta in Nigeria writes:

I know some Nigerians will frown, but hosting the games in Abuja will bring economic opportunities.

Peter Unodiaku in Nigeria writes:

Please tell the Commonwealth scribe that I am expecting him in Abuja in 2014.

Musa in Nigeria writes:

I would like the game to be played in Nigeria in 2014, but the corruption and poverty status of the country have to change.

Ejalu Simon Soroti writes

It's a fact that common wealth is an organised click which not only legitimises dictatorial regimes but sponsors them. Mostly in Africa.

Darboe from Gambia writes

I think the Commonwealth is doing a lot especially in the education and health sector but I believe there is still a bit more to be done specifically youth immigration policies

Tiny from Nigeria writes:

How about the case of the Nigeria govt on the elections that is close by what impact does the Commonwealth has on this?

Jason in Wisconsin writes:

I have a question. What does the Commonwealth DO as a whole? I don't recall them ever doing ANYTHING. Maybe it is just the lack of outside news here in the US. I hear plenty about the WTO doing all sorts of thing. Seeing as the Commonwealth seems to be a little similar, why not do something with all that financial clout?

Muhammad in Pakistan writes:

Commonwealth is not really doing their best for the implementing democracy in the member countries unless they special interest like in case of Pakistan they are supporting General Musharaf government because of the only reason that he is giving favor to UK and USA for their so called war against terror ( actually war for oil).
