I have to say that this political party called PDP has successfully destroyed Nigeria. Many talents and indigenous companies have been closed down all because PDP that want to create a one party state based on incompetence and lack of ideas for this Nation, one example that comes to mind is Innoson cars.

I read Iweala and co talking of economic revival and how they would create 110,000 jobs for the youths using a word called "YouWin" which swallowed up 50 Billion Naira. This program is aimed to open up businesses for the youths thus 50 billion was use, right !

Now I would like to share with you avenues of which the FG can use to create Jobs for graduates if they are fair minded. These are ajaokuta steel mines and Innoson cars

This two industries can create more than 300,000 jobs for youth ranging from the banking sector to the actual sites of mining and constructions. Ajaokuta can actually provide the necessary steel needed for Innoson cars but only if the government help the company out.

Also these two companies would increase our IGR instead of the government removing the subsidies

these are just my though, I don't know if i am thinking wrongly here or maybe just short-sighted with my thoughts. And I would like someone that knows more about these things to explain to me more about it.

i laugh when people blame nigeria's problem on pdp.

then who's fault

I think PDP has been ruling for 12 year and they are all civilains, so I expect them to be a bit more sensitive to the people's needs

during 1979 to 1983 was it under pdp?if you think nigeria's problem is pdp then you can also believe that tiger is native to nigeria.

I think it is a very very sad and painful event that our government is not ready to let go and start again.

I keep thinking that if only the steel mines and innoson can work together, then we would not be having this unemployment issue we have now

The problem of unemployment is more than the 300,000 you mention here. I would recomend that you study this administrations proposals on job creation. Altogether we are looking at creating between 4 to 5 million jobs in the next 3 to 4 years.

Surely, I know this that is why I asked if anyone is knowledgeable enough to educate me on the issue

I know this is not meant for me but do you think the highlighted can be done without a constant source of power supply (in general, an "enabling environment"? I am not a senseless critic of GEJ's administration neither am I a fanatical supporter but judging from the little we have seen so far, its safe to say that the highlighted part of your post is an over-exaggeration.

in Britain now job loses had gone ski rocket 2.5million job loses,more migrant  going back to their country of origin. And Nigeria haven't even started improving things for the common man that county is on life support

Very true, we need to set start manufacturing.  South Africa is doing it:

Government loves supporting Adenuga and Dangote but they need to also help Innoson get off the ground. it is called the infant industry.  I learned this in my first university economics class. Ngozi has a PhD she should know about this too (unless she is a puppet for the west)

Are you in Nigeria? If you were, you would know that the power situation is on the way to being solved. Anyway the power issue is one part of the solution. There are others such as the gas revolutionn - almost 500,000 jobs, the PIB bill another 500,000 jobs. We expect to have almost 3 million jobs from the agricultural refoms and initiatives that are coming. There are others that I could mention.
We are on track, people just need to join hands with this admistration.

I strongly belive that Iweala is not working for us but for the west

All her polices since GEJ era has been against Nigeria, I don't understand her

the iranians wanted to purchase the s-300 air defence system from the russians but the russians have been playing hide and seek. already the iranians are designing a better system domestically. so in answer to ur claim about the russian factor with regards to ajaokuta steel, i say a serious nation would have since found a solution even domestically. afterall, we do have competant engineers and scientist etc. unfortunately, a are never ready for our collective benefit but individual benefit.

I believe so as well

Obj was the one that really killed this Ajaokuta for good

Every year, thousand of PHD engineers etc are churned out universities, only to remain unemployed

The fg should use this people

Just today as we were discussing on this thread, Nigeria invested 2.8 billion dollars meant for Nigeria to indonisia

Are we not our enemy

[size=13pt]Nigeria to invest Rp 24t in Indonesian refinery deal[/size]
The Jakarta Post | Wed, 10/12/2011 2:19 PM A | A | A |
Nigeria plans to invest Rp 24 trillion (US$2.68 billion) in Indonesia to fund the construction of three oil refineries, an official says.

The Industry Ministry's director general for manufacturing-based industry, Panggah Susanto, was quoted by kompas.com as saying that both countries had agreed to build the refineries in Indonesia.

Nigeria, which produces 2.6 million barrels of oil per day (bpd), was looking for a partner to refine its crude oil, Panggah said.

"Previously they wanted the refineries to be built in Nigeria," he said Tuesday. "However, as Indonesia is currently improving its downstream industry, Indonesia wanted the refineries to be built here instead."

The refineries, which are projected to produce 300 bpd each, will be used to process crude oil from Nigeria.

"State firm PT Pertamina will buy the crude oil from Nigeria and process it here," he said.

this must be a joke or twisted news

htajz:

this must be a joke or twisted news

LOL this is the sort of disheartening news you get from Nigeria daily

Just today

why 50 billion on a pink elephant project that a quarter of the unemployed can't access neither will they feel the impact.

is this iweala figure actually sound in economics and financial mgt?

why can't the money be channelled into moribund industries that will be money spinners in the medium/long term not some competition based on who has the best business idea/concept

undoubtedly,we are our enemies

Years of undisciplined PDP's greedy rule left that impact.

Innosan's products are cool for Nigeria's economy, but looks like cheap items from the dollar general. Wouldnt buy any of it sha.

I like new innovations, new designs, new etc. . . .

If you support them now then they will get better later.

Very true.

I will think about it.

Still recruiting, Join the train, We need a revolution, Contact "coolented@yahoo.com" We need to fight or we would be dead

igbo2011:

better for them to improve themselves and not rely on us.

They should give us good products and not expect us to buy crap. Nobody buys water tanks every year so once you buy a crappy one, you are stuck with it. Better a good foreign/old one than new nigerian crap.

i do not have the time now to dig up the setting up of ajaokuta.just browse aroud the internet.it has to do with us relying on a material processed in the then soviet union (cannot remember the name now) to run the factory

@topic,

Actually the CORE NORTH destroyed Nigeria - starting with [b] General Buhari [/b]who interrupted democracy, and installed his cronies in a bigotry leaning regime! He effectively dragged the rest of the country backward! Today, as if by karma, Core North is still ravaged by poverty, illiteracy, disease, and terrorism.

So they can take 60 percent of the blame for starters!

Are u sure u are not using their crapy products already. When next u get seated in an occasion pls check for innoson sign before you relax.

Off topic but the line in bold is far from the truth. I am in Nigeria and other than all the talk of master-plans blueprints and grand schemes there hasn't been any improvement in power that I have noticed.

I am curious though, when are the agricultural reforms and initiatives going to be implemented? Any time lines available?
