Skii:

You guys forget all these things. The real enemy is out there,,,the greed, selfishness and corruption that has brought us here.

well on a closing note for the night,

I am a supporter of the acronym TEAM (Together, Each Achieves More). Regardless of our backgrounds, I think that we all have something to bring to the table. As long as we are willing to set aside our differences, our hurts especially the past (a very crippling stronghold) and are all willing to make sacrifices and doing the right thing. If one region could do it better than the other we would not be where we are today (we should have been much better off). But since we are all here, we are all in this mess together.

Please lay aside your arguments and use the energy to think how we can develop Nigeria.

Cheers!!

As someone with a broad economic knowledge. Will converting our wealth/ fiat naira into Gold and stable currencies help us from the impending doom of Naija that may come 2015?  Some parasites are preparing for the worst come that time .

Just a question bro .

Actually, speaking from an investing perspective, conversion of Naira into "stronger" foreign currency will save you guys from impending doom, Actually, the CBN has taken on this two measure to limit market risk on our reserve due to the current unstable almighty $$$ lol. They have also taken actions as well to invest in GOLD, in fact most nations are seeking to invest in GOLD for the long run.

As for me o, I will say hold your assets valuable commodities like GOLD because currencies are bound to fluctuate but be cautious about it because most commodities are tied to the $$$. For instance, the Yuan fluctuates regularly that's why Chinese Govt is ALWAYS devaluing their currency. What ever you choose, both economics, finance AND Politics play important roles, Again just my own opinion, this is not in anyway an investment advisory,

This is the FAULTY part about GDP.  A true GDP not only measures on its number but per/capita as well. You can better access an economy better on the per capita basis because you want to know what the economic output for each individual is. Keep in mind the GDP represent everything including debts as well (Govt spending which can include loans). With that being said, perform a GDP per capita, SE has the second highest per capita after SS and that's because of their OIL. That tells you the true productivity per individual is actually in the SE/SS.

The value of the Naira is tied to the value of oil.
Oil leaves, Naira becomes toilet roll.
Nuff said!

Let those who have oil know their power and not be intimidated by those who have oil marketers.

Actually, I have to agree, OIL is the major export accounting for most part of our Foreign Reserve, without OIL, reserve is literally depleted and Naira take a mighty hit.

My friend, if you want to quote, QUOTE CORRECTLY.  

Lagos population figures is 9million? Chei, go and tell that to ekt_bear your brother and hear what he has to tell you. Everyone KNOWS that Lagos has surpassed at least 14million people and you're here quoting 9million, even him Mr bear, said it has surpassed 15million, Reuters and Bloomberg, confirm same thing. I laugh in Swahili. I will say look into the 2011 Statistician General Economic Output Report to see the real deal, NOT THIS, LOL

Just Google Nigeria Statistic office and see, and besides, there were some websites that was released prior to the budget was really helpful, so if you search "2012 Budget" here on NL, you should see the results.

Can you provide official govt statistics?

Cos I used figures based on our last national census. Which is the official data.

Bring out anything from the govt that shows the figures.

The same way Figures for lagos could have risen, Same way figures for SE could have risen

But based on facts at Hand, The SE are still the parasites until further stats prove otherwise

Sound and pragmatic. The bolded is what we wanted to hear. Naira is headed for high uncertainty( Hyper inflation) and we may end up having 1billion naira note , just like the Zimbabweans.

Gold is a good investment. The Jews have always succeeded in moving their wealth around in that form.

I have come to have confidence in your economic analysis. Are you an economist by training? Which economic school of thought do you adhere to? Who is your favorite 20th century and 21 century economists?

Sorry for all the questions . If you can start analyzing ways in which we can transfer back our wealth into developing the South East into an economic hub. Start thinking bro . I happen to find myself most times amongst a lot of businessmen of igbo extraction from Sabon Gari market in Kano to Trade fair in Lagos. And they are beginning to see CONCRETE reasons in relocating back home. They would need all the necessary information they can get.

Even if Nigeria survives beyond 2015. We are tired of the humiliation and lack of appreciation from parasites. We need to take our destiny fully into our own hands.  

Why is it that there is no real tangible manufacturing by black Africans in the whole of Africa? The South East can set the way, just like we are beginning to do. But we need more information from our esteemed Economists home and abroad.

Thank you for the insightful analysis .

So, my South Eastern brothers on Nairaland, convert that very uncertain Naira into save havens ooo. Don't you see as it is depreciating day by day? Investors keep loosing confidence because the future of Naija is at stake. Since Aboki's and Yoruba's no want make GEJ make this country better. They are ready to go extra miles and have shown how desperate they can be.  

Our independent minded and foremost Economist Manny4life has spoken. Forewarned is to be forearmed.

I don't see any sense in this protest ask me why?
1.Asari dokubo has made us to know that without their oil Nigeria die,he has forgotten those days that cocoa from south and pyramid of groundnut from north fed the nation and either tribe complained
2.He has forgotten the niger delta has be traded off with amnesty packages
3.Militant does not exist in Nigeria again
4.He has been bribed by FG,to protect the oil installations during strike

Respect yourself Mr Man and stop this senseless protest otherwise,
