lakside s: With all this, yet nigerians are still sufferingprimarily illiterates. social and literal illiterates there are people in Lagos that don't know there are malls in Lagos. They don't know how to apply for jobs and their thinking is not modern enough to adapt to the new economy. The new growth situation favors modern people and modern thinkers. Many of those being left out are ajepakos waiting for their big bros to higher them into a bank. A few of the kids i grew up with are working for radio stations, fast food outlets, labs, and telecoms. Another portion of the kids i grew up with are in Senegal, Malaysia, and India begging for employment, pushing drugs and in one case attempting to sell their kidney. Ajepako thinking isn't built for the modern world and those being left out of the modern nigeria are typically not modern thinkers. These people will go to Lagos and look for a motorpark to go extort at before they apply for a reasonable job in a reasonable way. You can't blame it on the country anymore 1 Like |

These guys saying and offering to invest in nigeria, is not the bottomline, the bottomline is how does it affect the ordinary man in nigeria, that is technically deficient unskilled and doesn't have anybody to rely on (big man), how does it affect small businesses that would perform support business services, without the bigger well established ones driving them out of the market, how would they affect the economy positively, how would the price of garri drop even if it wouldn't drop how would the average nigerian be able to afford it, how would, the more then 2m graduates be absorbed into the system, how would nigerian's, be socially secured from gross exploitation, by chinese firms and indian companies, how would they be forced to employ 60-80% of indigents -nigerian's how would their be a fair chance for nigerian graduates and nigerian's who go to U.K to student have a fair competition to aspire for the same job opportunities, how would we all get houses |

Local investors are being frustrated by the day owing to funny government policies. And foreign scavengers are being allowed to exploit our loose system. Go around on commercial high streets and see how many shops/offices have 'to let' hanging on them. Go to Kano and see what is left of the once flourishing tanneries, cotton ginneries and co. Go to Nnewi and see how the nail manufacturers have been punished because the 'investors' have been allowed to use us as dumping ground. I like the idea of investments and we must appreciate government efforts to bring them in. We should not stop there. We must not give an impression that ours is a free market for imperialist exploitation with the connivance of economist rapists in government offices who turn the blind eye to exploitation because of the massive egunje they have chopped. Get in genuine investors and ensure the rights and benefits of the average Nigerian are protected. 2 Likes |

I don't understand all these progressives that don't like nor celebrate progress. They celebrate bad news and eschew news about the country prospering under GEJ/PDP. Only a lazy, unqualified, mischievous person will say Nigerians are getting poorer. The Nigeria I live in is one of the best places to be the next few years. @OP, thank you for sharing, I'm going to bed smiling. I love Nigeria, God Bless Nigeria! 1 Like |

orgasticdance: If the foreign investors saw all these structural problems and still decided to come down to Nigeria and invest... does it not mean that they have seen something good beyond all these challenges? Corruption did not start yesterday, so it cannot end today...it's got to be gradual. The best way to stop a bad habit; is to start a good one; and this (FDI) is a sure good way to grow our economy. I'll give you and anybody else who cares to listen one good piece of advice; "Live like nobody owes you anything!" forget about the govt and do all that is (legitimately) within your powers. the govt was bad when some rich people made their money legally here in Nigeria; the govt may be bad whilst i'm making my money...but i will make this money; and legally too!! After all; Na one head Pascal Dozie get..and na one head wey i get; i no fit dey tell my pickins dem say govt no good na hin make me no hammer 2 Likes |

This is a very good reason to be excited, it means there's HOPE. But let's be very sincere, the environment needs to be very conducive for foreign business participation.... Power and Security are the 2 major challenges. Every capitalist love to do business where the cost of production is at its barest minimum. If power is stable and the spate of kidnapping, pirates at d coastal regions and other mean vices are checked eradicated, Nigeria will be on its way to be among the worlds power house. We have seen these pledges before, but we need to put our house in order. GEJ should sit up and concentrate on his work rather than focusing on political witch hunting n re-election bid.... |

Imagine if we can provide uninterrupted power supply, good security, good road and rail network, bigger and efficient seaports, and an impartial judiciary, then we will be on the rise to stardom. I don't know why we don't have a rail network that links our seaports to city centres of major cities. I would also want our government to build seaports in States that borders the Ocean. This would imply that all southern states are open for businesses, and an efficient rail network would link these southern cities to other parts of the country. A Cocoa farmer in Ondo or a palm oil farmer in Cross-river gets his goods exported as quick as he can to other countries around the world. I always say this and will continue to say this>>>> The jobs our government have to do isn't much, bearing in mind that we have natural minerals to finance them. We have the capability to embark on the projects listed above but greed won't allow our leaders to do it. They just too short-sighted. If we put in place these infrastructures, investors from around the world will come. Building our schools to world standard would also mean that highly skilled jobs go to Nigerians. The west are afraid of China's dominance, and are willing to go do business elsewhere. Nigeria fits the shape, our proximity to Atlantic waterways and our democratic style of governance should entice them... Can someone tell me what our leaders are waiting for? 2 Likes |

Rossikk:you sound smart but the reality is you know nothing. These people are all large scale producers and industries. When you are that large, you generate your own electricity even when the host nation has constant power. So the analyst did not envisage power normalising instead they calculated the cost of independent power plant into the project. If in doubt, ask dangote. |
