@AUGUSTUS THIS IS WHAT HAPPEN WHEN A COUNTRY REACTS TO PRESSURE OF WAR WITHOUT PLANNING HOW TO REACT TO CHALLENGES....TYPICAL THIRD WORLD BANANA REPUBLIC Nigeria’s total debt stock has again risen to a very high level of N10.4 trillion as at June 2014. The rising debt profile of the country is made up of external debt stock of N1.46 trillion ($9.377 billion), Federal Government domestic debt of N7.421 trillion ($47.653billion). States in the federation have a domestic debt stock of N1.551 trillion or $9.963 billion. The Federal Government’s share of the rising external debt stands at $6.363 billion. As at December 2013, however, the total stock of external debt was $8.821 billion indicating a rise of $556 million in the first half of 2014. But as at December 31, 2012 Federal Government’s external debt was $4.14 billion as against a total debt stock of both Federal and state governments of $6.5 billion. A break-down of the rising debt profile showed that Federal Government’s external and domestic debts amounted to N8.8 trillion or $57.030 billion as at the end of June 2014. Federal Government borrowing from multilateral Institutions amounted to $3.826 billion while loans from bilateral sources mainly China Exim Bank and Eurobond amounted to $2.537 billion. In the case of states, a total of $2.904 billion was sourced from multilateral institutions, $108.9 million was obtained as loans from bilateral sources, thus making the states’ total outstanding external debt as at June 2013 $3.013 billion. Disclosing these facts in Abuja, Director General, Debt Management Office, Dr. Abraham Nwankwo said that although the debt profile had increased, he assured that the debt remained sustainable at a ratio of 12.51 to the Gross Domestic Product, GDP. The D-G also said that the managers of the nation’s debt would apply more caution in further borrowings in order not to run into the crisis of debt overhang, which the nation once suffered. His words: “The sovereign debt is doing well. Currently our total sovereign domestic debt for both Federal and states and the FCT is about N8.9 trillion and external debt is about $9.38 billion. “Our current debt/GDP ratio is about 12.51 per cent which is much lower than the 56 per cent total public to GDP for countries of Nigeria’s group. However, this is not an indication that Nigeria can afford to borrow without caution. In spite of the re-basing which means we have more capacity to borrow, we are not going to borrow without caution. In fact, we are going to be more cautious, especially because our tax-GDP ratio is low. Many economic agents do not pay their taxes.” Eurobond Dr. Nwankwo said that the Eurobond initiative which commenced in 2011 with the floating of the $500 million Eurobond has positively changed the profiles of Nigerian corporate organisations and their ability to raise long-term funds from the international capital market. The Federal Government raised additional $1 billion from the international capital market in 2013 following which several Nigerian firms, especially banks have also gone to the international capital market to raise funds for their operations. According to him, six companies issued nine bonds within the last one year, from which about $3.4 billion was raised. The DMO boss said his team would ensure that the funds raised from the capital markets both at home and outside were utilised profitably in the interest of the nation’s economy. The D-G disclosed that the funds raised from the Eurobond had been deployed to very critical sectors of the economy, requiring urgent financing to boost the economy, especially, the electricity power, agriculture, solid minerals and the dualisation of the Airport and Kubwa Roads in Abuja. Dr. Nwankwo said that his team has managed the nation’s debt in line with the national priority needs. with a view to creating full values funds borrowed in order to ensure maximum benefits to the economy. His words, “we have tailored the nation’s debt management in accordance with our peculiarities. We have used debt management to leverage development of the private sector and it has helped them to raise money to boost the real sector such as manufacturing, solid minerals, agriculture and electricity power supply. “We have to develop the capital market to develop long-term debt instrument such that rather than what the banks have been used to in terms of given out 91 day loans, we now have debt instruments of up to 20 years. We have made it possible for the companies to float their own bonds in the domestic market such that between 2005 and 2013, 23 companies raised N223 billion which was evidence that that aspect of the transformation agenda of the President Goodluck Jonathan is working. “The implication is that with operators in the real sector of the economy being able to raise long-term funds, they can expand their businesses, increase productivity and create more jobs, across the country, on a sustainable basis”. Dr. Nwankwo said that great opportunities had opened to the Nigerian public and appealed to those creating violence and instability to have a re-think. In his words, “we could have done better if the artificial distractions had been avoided. If we are lagging behind, we are the ones holding ourselves backward.” Public should monitor funds’ utilisation He explained that Nigerians should not policies nor resist state governors who want to access funds from the capital market in order to undertake development projects. According to him the general public, especially civil society groups and the media, should rather insist on the building of institutional frameworks to guarantee the effective and efficient utilization of borrowed funds. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/nigeria-sinks-deeper-external-debt/ |

agaugust: Doesnt change the fact that Nigeria is practically a failed state Watch those investments dry up as the Boko insurgency keeps growing South African consumer-goods maker Tiger Brands Ltd. TBS.JO -0.47% says turmoil in the northeast prompted it to close two of its four Nigerian flour mills and write down its unit's value by $70 million. Nielsen Holdings NLSN +0.56% NV has held off surveying businesses in the northeast of Nigeria because it can't send workers there. In the northeastern city of Maiduguri, tens of millions of dollars of irrigation and harvesting equipment the Borno State government purchased sits in warehouses. The gear is meant for farms that have fallen into the expanding grip of Boko Haram. Such setbacks mark a reversal from just a few years ago, when many investors in Nigeria regarded its sprawling economy as resilient enough to absorb constant militant attacks. As recently as 2012—when the insurgency escalated—Nigeria's naira was one of Africa's strongest currencies. The stock index climbed 47% that year. The economy grew 7%. This year, the naira is down 2.5% against the dollar. The foreign share of transactions on Nigeria's stock exchange has also fallen, to 45% from 75% at the start of 2014. Nigeria's foreign currency reserves have dropped to $31 billion, from $44 billion in 2013. http://online.wsj.com/articles/spread-of-boko-haram-threatens-heart-of-nigerian-economy-1406844477 |

SA Black girls sexy.FACT. White boys going crazy for them. The Frenchmen confessed that SA black girls are the sexiest in da world.  I choose u ....I remember seeing a Senegalese/Alex Wek type big lipped and ugly model losing her boyfriend from Germany in Cape Town in 2010 after he spotted a black Southy chick in Long Street. He confessed and said SA black chicks are sexiest in the world. That story made headlines in the Cape Argus as the Senegalese lady tried to poison the guy. She was arrested.

[/i] One of the AW101s was seen at AgustaWestland’s facility in Yeovil, Somerset, in the United Kingdom painted in Nigerian Air Force (NAF) VIP colours. The aircraft will presumably be operated by the NAF’s 101 Presidential Air Fleet in Abuja, according to Air Forces Daily. The Nigerian AW101s were originally scheduled to be delivered to the Indian Air Force, but the Indian contract was subsequently cancelled following allegations of bribery and corruption. The NAF has been receiving a number of new aircraft recently and late last month took delivery of three [img]Beechcraft King Air 350i light transport aircraft, which are operated by the 209 Executive Airlift Group (EAG[/img]) at Abuja-Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. The 209 EAG recently officially accepted an Mi-17-V5 helicopter[i], which had previously been operated by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) for search and rescue duties. Furthermore, the Nigerian government has apparently ordered 40 helicopters for attack and transport duties from the United States and Russia. This Day said the helicopters could start arriving as early as this month and the remainder could arrive by the end of the year. It was earlier reported that Nigeria is receiving two helicopter gunships, most likely Mi-35s. The Nigerian Budget Office this year allocated funds for six Mi-35M helicopters. On a related note, the Nigerian Air Force’s Mil Mi-34C helicopters have been transferred to New Zealand. Between eight and 12 were delivered around 2002 for pilot training but had been withdrawn by 2011 due to gearbox issues. By December 2013, six of the original batch had arrived in New Zealand.[i][/i] |

The high-tech plane is one of seven to be operated by the state-run Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and the Nigerian Air Force. It includes sensors, radar and Electro-Optic Surveillance and Tracking (EOST) equipment, which houses three cameras to monitor ships in Nigerian waters, said Sergeant Sunday Olalekan Omotosho. “When fully operational, no vessel can escape our coverage,” he told reporters before a demonstration flight from Lagos to Escravos in the Niger Delta and over offshore platforms in the oil-producing southeast. http://m.dailytimes.com.ng/article/military-showcases-aircraft-tackle-piracy South African air force will now be 166 years behind NAF in ISTAR airborne capability . .

The R7 786 400 contract – ELGS/2010/36 – was awarded last Thursday. The SAAF operates 13 of the aircraft after acquiring the type in 2008. The SAAF uses the type as a light transport, aerial surveillance and electronic warfare (EW) platform[/i]. In 2007 the SAAF awarded a contract on Aerosud and Denel under Project Koiler for a day/night reconnaissance system for the C208.The contract involved the acquisition of three sets of mission equipment and the modification of 11 aircraft[i]. The aircraft, so equipped, was successfully used in Operation Kgwele, the drive to secure last year's FIFA Confederations Cup and this year's World Cup.
