bandiejay: Good we will get there.. Not with this budget Recurrent expenditure -3.3 trillion naira ( salaries of 1trillion ,overheads of over 2 trillion naira and spent on God knows what. Capital expenditure -1.1 trillion In 1960, Korea was poorer, on a per capita basis, than Iraq, Liberia and Zimbabwe, and, with hardly any natural resources or industry, its future prospects seemed dire. Yet today Korea is a proud member of the G20 and a leading manufacturer of microchips, LCD panels and automobiles. Of all of Asia’s rapid-growth economies, Korea has experienced the greatest increase in per-capita GDP since the mid-1960s. Most analysts tend to credit Korea’s success to the heavy role of the state in making this miracle happen. But I prefer to see the Korea story as one created by the power of globalization. [/b]Back in the 1960s, Korea’s technocrats were smart enough to realize they could increase incomes at home by using their advantage in low-cost labor to export cheap manufactured goods to the industrialized world[b], and especially the United States. As wealth increased, the country could then afford investments in new, heavy and high-tech industries. South Korea is probably the best single example of how international market forces, if wisely tapped, can turn the poorest of nations rich in a remarkably short period of time. It’s proof that no matter how destitute a nation might be (such as an unfortunate number of African countries), the right mix of policies can get growth going and incomes rising, and transform hopelessness into hope. in short, we have to stop importing crap like toothpick,pen,pencils,paper,candles,lanterns,vegetable oil and utilize the labour of millions of the poor etc and stop building crap like abuja city gate, roads to nowhere, another senate president residence, another set of furnitures for sambo. official cars for people who are already paid expenses . and buying cars,cars ,cars all the time.

Thank God the people of South Korea kept Islam and Communism away. But opened their doors wide to Christianity and America capitalism. The difference is clear. Can the OP show us a picture of North Korea in 1964 too and North Korea today  3 Likes |

look at south korea's makoko. lagos state government has no choice. they simply have to move in hard on those settlements leaving just the few indigens to create a pristine waterfront settlements. In a good functioning society, that will be with the financial support of the federal government via low cost housing for those displaced . same goes with okrika in PH which has grown from a serene waterside settlement into filth.

atlwireles: ibadan is not growing aesthetically but ibadan is only second to lagos in terms of true organic economic diversity and growth . it has the most diverse economy in Nigeria. agriculture and agro allied Animal husbandry research education industry tourism real estate transportation and transportation hub arts and craft highest population of skilled tradesmen and craftsmen if oil were to stop flowing, the underlying economy of oyo state will not be seriously affected as those other places you mentioned. the governor has hardly tapped in the the 5% of the revenues that can be derived from oyo state. but i admit, it will be hard to peel of the cash off the hands of ibadan people because of their republican nature. . IBADAN IS ALSO THE BIGGEST LOSER IN THE UNITARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT BEING PRACTISED NOW. 5 Likes |

it will be hard to pull nigeria back from the brink but it is possible. this requires patrioits. i am not talking about patriots like OBJ or jonathan( the socalled dumb nationalist). I am talking about a few good men. even my darling fashola would have to become fiercely nationalistic . there is no way you are becoming korea when your roads have to be constructed for you. i just do not buy this awarding ordinary road construction contracts to syrians ,lebanese and the likes. there are many omoluabis who are capable if empowered. there are many civil engineers over here right now. they just have to look beyond their immediate social/business circles. the place to start is students with first class in engineering being sponsored/seconded to foreign companies, then given a grant to start up companies on the condition that the said companies will become socially useful to the society 1 Like

When one remembers all the missed opportunities in our country since 1960, one might not be wrong to consider Nigeria as one massive Ponzi scheme. It's fraudulently dehumanizing seeing how a gang of elitist mafia cornered the country's wealth at the detriment of the suffering masses. 4 Likes |

bloggernaija: Which Ibadan are you talking about?? Before crude oil, Ibadan was built on Cocoa, Rubber and Palm oil from the old Western region. Ibadan began sliding after 1963. Till today, the city has not recovered.. If crude oil stops today, Ibadan will be worse off |

WHAT A LOAD OF DUMBED DOWN GARBAGE. FOR YOUR INFORMATION YOU SHALLOW, NON-RESEARCHING SELF LOATHERS, THE ONLY REASON, REPEAT: THE ONLY REASON South Korea is a developed nation today is that after WW2, the victorious western allies led by the US decided to create STRONG CAPITALIST BULWARKS to checkmate the spread of COMMUNISM in the Asia Pacific. This they did by CHOOSING a specific set of Pacific nations in the 1950s to which they granted UNPRECEDENTED FINANCIAL, TECHNOLOGICAL, AND ECONOMIC SUPPORT INCLUDING, MOST IMPORTANTLY, UNLIMITED ACCESS TO WESTERN MARKETS FOR THEIR FINISHED PRODUCTS. THE RESULT? By the 1980s, THOSE CHOSEN STATES HAD BECOME THE 'TIGER ECONOMIES' OF ASIA. WITHOUT THOSE WESTERN INCENTIVES, ESPECIALLY UNRESTRICTED MARKET ACCESS (UNRECEIVED BY ANY AFRICAN STATE IN MODERN HISTORY) SOUTH KOREA WOULD BE NO DIFFERENT FROM ITS ASIAN NEIGHBOURS WHICH WERE NOT CHOSEN - Burma, Nepal, North Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Bhutan, East Timor, Papua New Guinea and others. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN POSTING THESE SILLY PICTURES COMPARING NIGERIA AND SOUTH KOREA. BETTER YET, LEARN TO READ THE HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONS BEFORE DRAWING LAZY CONCLUSIONS BASED ON LACK OF RESEARCH. 10 Likes |
