Who Says There Is Hardship In Nigeria? by Orikinla1: 8:58pm On Jan 31, 2017 |
"The Wedding Party" has made more than N290M in less than 30 days from Nigerian cinemas. Who says there is hardship in Nigeria? And the movie was made with only N60M! Nigerian music industry is booming. Even bloggers are becoming millionaires. South Africans' Shoprite is building new shopping malls and creating thousands of jobs for Nigerians. The Chinese are expanding their businesses with their rail and road construction contracts and increasing employment of thousands of Nigerians. Uber is booming in Nigeria with more taxi cabs. Ride-hailing company Uber has offered over a million trips in Nigeria two years after it started there and is eyeing expansion to a French-speaking West African country next, its West African chief said on Thursday. Nigerian LNG is expanding. ExxonMobil Earns $7.8 Billion in 2016; $1.7 Billion During Fourth Quarter Cash flow from operating activities of $7.4 billion and asset sales of $2.1 billion more than covered fourth quarter dividends and additions to property, plant and equipment. MMM Nigeria made billions of dollars from over 3 million Nigerians. Thousands of school children are having free meals in several states for the first time in Nigeria. More five star hotels are opening in Lagos, Edo and Abuja. Federal government of Nigeria is paying the salaries of civil servants. Lagos state brought new BRT buses with AC and TV. Gone are those harrowing days of rushing for 911 "Molue" buses with some of them losing control and falling into the lagoon. Even 7 year old comeddiene Emmanuella and Mark Angel were spotted aboard a private jet . Nigeria is still the biggest economy in Africa with Lagos as the largest megacity on the continent and the fifth largest economy that is bigger than the economy of Kenya, the biggedt economy in East Africa. Even the famous billionaire Cofounder and CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg visited us and enjoyed pounded yam and vegetable soup with his fingers. Only shortsighted pessimists have a negative attitude in Nigeria. While the optimists have the positive attitude of true patriots who believe in the Nigerian Dream and are working with great zeal for the nation building of a New Nigeria in the leadership of Africa in the comity of nations. The same Nigerians complaining of hardship are spending millions of naira daily on sports betting and gambling in "Baba Ijebu" instead of saving and investing their money in small scale businesses. I thank God for Nigeria. 5 Likes 1 Share

Even during wars, some people get rich, some people spend big, so what's the point of this thread again? Inflation at 18-30% (whoever you choose to believe), the dollar @ N500, indictment of gross malfeasance, and e.t.c., and this is what we get from you? 6 Likes |

True talk. ..but here's "truer" talk. ..if you take a closer look at the demography, there's still a gloomy picture. At best, the picture painted by the OP captures only about 30% of the Nigerian population. Where all that the majority have for comfort is God and poverty, insurgency and militancy hold sway in many parts of the country, diseases among the downtrodden who can't afford health care while avarice holds sway at the top. Don't mean to spoil your party but there's still a whole lot to be done. 1 Like |

Day169:Wrong...it captures less than 5% population. Do you even think up to 5% of working class age group (households) in Nigeria earn up to N5 million a year to even afford a basic decent life? N5 million translates to 10,000 dollars a year. The deluded guy is just an APC mouthpiece twisting facts to serve his paymaster Buhari. He mentioned ExxonMobil and LNG. The total number of Nigerians that work in both companies is less than 15k in a population of 170 million people. the total number of professionals in Nigerian oil and gas is less than 100k. How many Nigerians patronize those hotels he mentioned. Can the OP himself patronise 5 star hotels with N50k charge per night? Less than 1% of the population (super rich) can do that in Nigeria. Of course Nigeria is a well population, so even if just 0.5% can afford that, that's still a massive 850,000 people. But the remaining >99% can not a single room in any of these hotels! SUMMARY: Less than 5% enjoy a decent living in this Buhari era. The majority, the 95% are all suffering and smiling in silence in the Buhari hardship. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Day169:. No my friend. Majority of Nigerians are farmers and if not for them, we would have been starving. But thank Almighty God JEHOVAH for Nigerian farmers are producing enough crops to feed us and Anambra State is now exporting beans and rice to the USA and UK.

@op u are a big fool, ur economic indicators are as foolish as ur brain. If a film made 290millon Naira and we have over 180 million ppl it means nigerian actually are willing to just pay 1naira 6 kobo to see the movie. What is the percentage of Mobil business in Nigeria, what about uber. Thea average wage of workers in Nigeria is less than 50k that is about 100 dollars far a whole month which is about $320cents every day that is for educated group the uneducated is far lower. Is it power, food, transport housing. Ppl like u should be locked up in the gulag. Idot. 3 Likes |

Orikinla1: OP. I take it to be you deliberately started this topic to create controversy as a means of creating awareness for the movie. If indeed you serious then I'd say the post is so erroneous and falacious. You failed to provide associated demographic information.The post lack scientific merit.Anyone who reads it will come to one or more of the folowing conclusions. 1.The op is being mischievious. 2.He is trying to be funny 3.He is an APC apologist and such like. Applying some form statistical analysis will show that the percentage of people that you post indirectly refer to is so low that it is completely negligible. Its like saying that because there are several millionaires in Nigeria therefore Nigerian are rich people.Does that not sound absurd? Even though I do not believe in Buhari or his government I have no respect for the APC- PDP dichotomy.As a patriot I continue to pray that God will help Buhari to put me and my likes to shame by performing and proving us wrong. If you continue to make post like this, you will make it more and more difficult for Buhari to put me and my likes to shame. If you love Buhari and this country please stop making post like this.Post like this will only deceive and mislead him and keep him from sitting up and making the necessary extra effort to effect the needed change. There is virtue in putting the greater good above self interest. 1 Like |

Negative minded people end up as under achievers. Lagos is Africa's largest megacity and the economy is booming and some ignorant people are whining about their own frustrations. We are forward looking in Lagos. I am not whining. I am working. I am part of the success story of Lagos and if Lagos is doing great, the rest of Nigeria should emulate Lagos state. And Anambra state is already developing fast in the south east. This is from my "Lagos in Motion" documentary film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnwFk8SVBaY

mnairaland: The movie is just one of the positive points I made. And I am not the publicist of the movie. Uber is booming in Lagos when the Nigerian yellow cab drivers are complaining of hardship. Uber saw a big opportunity and took advantage of it. The choice is yours. Give the Hausa Mallam guarding a house in Lagos just only N5000 and he will use it to start a mini provisions shop. Give it to an Igbo or Yoruba youth and he will whine that the money is too small to feed in a month instead of using it as a seed grant. The choice is yours. I will not argue with anyone else. Ciao!

Orikinla1: OK. I get you now.You are only being optimistic.Thats quite good. However,if you have a scientific or numeric educational background you will know the value of feedback. The only way a control system can position the target load correctly id by getting regular feedback about the actual position of the load as compared to the desired postion. With the feedback the system is able to tell that it still need to keep appling input. Without feedback there is no way that a control system can tell whether it has successfully positioned the target system. THE GOVT. NEED ACCURATE FEEDBACK TO POSTION THINGS ARIGHT.

Op, with due respect, it is people like you that drove Nigeria to where she is now. Can you please take some time to go out and see how people are suffering? To God be the glory, I am comfortable and live a decent life with my family, but I have been so amazed at the increasing way people flood in to seek for financial help for things I basically do not expect (such as feeding, paying school fees and house rent), even some of my tenants that normally pay their rents before it expires are now basically owing me for more than a year now, while some are having problems paying their utility bills. Please, you need to change your mentality and view life from different perspectives, unless you are a paid PR officer of the government. 3 Likes |

Orikinla1:I think the problem is the title of your post.Of course,even in the midst of hardship there are great opportunities in nigeria,arguably higher than in most african countries.I left lagos for ibadan and still got opportunities there.But then it doesnt negate the fact that right now there is hardship in nigeria,more than at any other time.I suggest you take off your rose tinted glasses[as ur pix shows]and see the real situation for what it is.yes there is hardship in nigeria because prices of goods and services are soaring.How can you say everything is great because a movie garnered less than 1m dollars in 30 days in a country of 180m,and you mentioned some other businesses which have access to enough funds.Its the same faulty yardstick our rulers use. |
Re: Who Says There Is Hardship In Nigeria? by 2mNaira: 11:23am On Feb 01, 2017 |
Orikinla1: Your point and perspective is quite good and laudable. In effect you are saying people should take their destiny into their hands and stop banking on the government.Which thing I also advocate. Truelly such an attitude as that advocated by you by this stand and perspective of yours will make billionaires even in the heart of a great economic recession. And to to others. The op is just advocating optimism and taking one's destiny into ones own hand. Taking his perspective will help many to make make good, better and possibly great success even in the midst of the greatest economic repression. History have records of people who became rich in the midst of great economic downturns.If you see things from his perspective you will realise that his post is actually a good one. Op. I must say thay your presentation of your perspective is poor. You gave a false impression of you intention.You might want to edit the post(at least its title). You set up yourself for people's anger. Nonetheless, I will say Buhari led administration really need to sit up and make the neccessary policy that is needed to make thing better. My own honest feedback to the govt is this: The government has done such a great job in the area of security. On curruption it is doing a great job albeit selectively because it has shown lack of will power to punish those belonging to it that are corrupt. On the economy, it is doing an abysmally woeful job. My recommdation: The govt should keepup the tempo on security.However, it should tacked the blight in its good security performance record : the killer fulani herdsmen As regards corruption, it should find a wayto punish its own that are guilty of corruption without giving its opposition something to latch on. On the economy, it needs to bring in tried and tested innovative problem solvers and economics. Thats all for now. |
