Nigeria Summit : Enabling and Implementing Change by mukina2: 11:27am On Mar 19, 2013 |
Nigeria has a young and growing population, a wide range of natural resources and a government full of internationally renowned reformers – yet life for the average Nigerian is not improving. There’s no shortage of visions that see Nigeria transformed into a dynamic, competitive economy where entrepreneurialism and innovation thrives. But the real need is for action – at all levels. Bringing together 180+ international business leaders, investors, policymakers and influential commentators, our flagship Nigeria Summit will focus on what is being done to execute the vision. The summit is on March 19-20th, 2013 at the Eko Expo Center, Lagos, Nigeria Dan Smiley, Middle East and Africa Editor, The Economist, giving his welcome address There is no political apatite the for another big war in the Middle East. "China has an aging population, more than every other country"Robert Ward, Publishing Director, Economist Intelligence Unit Updates taken from : https://twitter.com/GbengaGOLD |

Minister for Petroleum, Allison Deziani, makes her cool entrance So, according to the wise guys at The Economist, the likelihood of a war in the Middle East is slim. Hope the Iranians agree On that unlikely war in the Middle East, I also believe nobody can afford a war at this time. Too expensive and damaging There's been a break in proceedings at the #nigeriasummit for close to 7 minutes. Seems we are waiting on the president to make his entrance Good news. The wise guys at the Economist say we are half way into the recession. Bad news? It's a 10-year deal #nigeriasummit The president arrives. We all stand. Me too #nigeriasummit |

The former president of Brazil, Lula da Silva, now delivering his keynote address In 10 years, 33m people were lifted from below the poverty line. 44m were lifted to the middle class. 17m formal jobs were created.We created 3 million small and medium enterprises. minimum wage went from $80 to $420. The education budget went from $9b to $30b. We managed to get electricity to 99.8% of homes in Brazil - Brazil is the 3rd largest food producer in the world after the US and the European Union. Today, brazil has capital investment of 20% of GDP. Domestic debt has fallen from 62% of GDP to 35%.Brazil needs to diversify its relations. Lula da Siva demonstrating amazing knowledge of Africa and it's potential for economic growth. His passion is palpable. The war in Iraq over the 10 years has cost $1.7tr. Lula da Silva speaking in Portuguese but his words are visibly weighty and passionate. GEJ looks on If Brazil could do it, every country in African can do it - Lula da Silva Lula da Silva ends his speech and most of the hall are on their feet in applause |

Now, President Goodluck Jonathan is about to speak. As his citation is being read,he revises his notes So, Lula da Silva spoke about what has been achieved and what needs to be done. GEJ to share on his Transformation Agenda GEJ just said his election was adjudged Nigerian's fairest and freest. We have our challenges and we are working hard to meet them. GEJ mentions his war against corruption and you could almost hear the collective sigh in the hall The problem of ghost workers has been significantly reduced Our economy grew by 6.8%, which is by far one of the highest in the world Our port reforms are aimed at achieving efficiency in that sector. We shall continue to work with stakeholders to make it better Nigerians are spending less to buy diesel today There are so many steps that we have taken to sanitize the oil industry We are diversifying. In agriculture, we have accelerated the production of staple foods In manufacturing, we are encouraging backward integration. In housing, we are setting up a mortgage company. We established YouWin to encourage young Nigerian to create jobs. Our target is that it creates 8,000 jobs in a shorttime We have laid a solid foundation for our international partners to come in and invest Dangote is the biggest producer of sugar Question to GEJ: You have major investors and banks in here, what would you say to them now? We want the financiers to finance, because government cannot do it alone |

Result-oriented speech dwells on achievements: mukina2: The former president of Brazil, Lula da Silva, now delivering his keynote address Compare with this futuristic plan of action: mukina2: The difference is very clear. As per passion, that is what GEJ lacks while making speeches. He doesn't speak from his own mind. . .he merely reads what has been written. He can rarely motivate his audience to action. 1 Like |

What is really the problem of our leaders (Our father's generation). They are so terrible. These are the people that enjoyed the Nigeria our fore fathers (Grand fathers) created. They enjoyed the benefits of free and fair environment. Good jobs immediately after university, food supplies and other things in the university, good economy with very strong Naira. Free scholarship abroad to study, free visas to the western countries. These our leaders destroyed what was given to them. They made life very hard for the children they gave birth to. They made every part of the world to look at us with ridicule because of the evil legacy of greed and stealing they have created. Its time for the leaders to change. Change need to start from them. 2 Likes |

Our founding fathers worked to give generations after them 'fishes' but never thought them how to fish, fish and fish again. |
