On the 23rd of september 2012 President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan rang the Closing bell at the New York stock exchange Becoming the first Nigerian Leader in history to do so .
Why many critics have argued about the significance of this landmark event it is important to Note that the global economic community is becoming increasingly aware of the rising significance of the Nigerian Economy.
Analysts have projected that the Nigerian Economy will overtake the South African economy as early as 2015 after the rebasing of the formers GDP to cover previously un captured Sectors of the economy.
A media alert from the New York stock exchange shows that the prime Minister of Japan Mr Shinzo Abe is scheduled to ring the Closing bell at NYSE on the 25th of September while the president of the Italian council of ministers will ring the opening bell on the same day and the opposition in those countries are not dragging them to the slaughter house.

Its quite unfortunate that when comes to Nigeria even the most trivial of things is politicised,politicians look for every avenue to criticise without providing alternative ideas on how the country can move forward .
Any country that ignores the New york stock exchange does so at the detriment of her own economy ,and that is why a country like Japan the worlds third Largest economy is making its presence felt at the Exchange.
The New York Stock Exchange is by far the
largest stock exchange in the world by market
capitalization of listed companies. The
NASDAQ electronic exchange has the most
companies listed and is second largest in the
world by market capitalization of listed
companies.

If Nigeria is to become a global player it must join the league of countries who market themselves on the big stage ,taking part global economic events and remaining in the Global economic spotlight. This is a necessity if we must take our rightful place among the committee of Nations .

Our help is in the name of the Lord
