The figures aren't real.

. back it up with evidence please. At least we know the prevailing market price of commodities these days.

Corruption versus integrity.

sweetboiy:
economic don't even have that kind of maths...just business maths & statistics

Lol, Oga, I guess you are talking of Elementary Economics. It is easier to scale through in Acccounting if you are not so good in Maths than doing same in Economics. At a certain level, all these macro, micro, petroleum and other aspects of Economics you hear about turn to Mathematics. Try Economics at MSc level then you will understand what I am saying.

Looking at about 5pcs of computers to start with. D service wl include printing, then photocopy and other peripheral services as time goes on.

Pls I need professional advice on:
. d spec of pc meant for a cafe

. d basic or must-have computer applications

. d reliable ISP to use for dat purpose and their possible charges/fee or affordable internet subscription meant for dis kind of biz. indicating d cost and validity.

. d ticketing/billing, system networking

. d cafe devices/equipment to buy and possible costs, considering dis available space

. d power requirements, such as generator, stabilizer, etc. (Though may go full solar with time)

. government fees, regulatory body or regulations guiding dis biz, if any

. additional biz or services to be added

. security and safety measures

. marketing strategies to adopt

. other general pieces of info relevant to dis.

Good comments and other modifications are welcome. Thnks

Don't try it. You will regret it the way I did. Cafe business is shrinking on average daily basis. Don't be deceived by the number of people you see sitting down in a cafe, you may think the owner is making millions, that's not true. I am talking from experience. Instead invest the money in Football betting shop (9jabet). That is a hot cake now. To be fore warned .........

I blame the labour union in the East. your people say they are rich and can afford the #145. They say SW are lazy and poor and that is why they protest the increase.
Police dislike hypocrisy from the second class citizen

. Some people were naturallly born brainless.

RockHard:
The protest is an exercise in futility[b] coz their ranks have been broken and infiltrated so they no longer have any bargaining power with the government. [/b]Don't forget that there's even a subsisting court order barring the protests from holding. So there you have it.

And you are happy this is happening in a democratic setting. God forbid!

I know a frnd dat did dis interview on friday fr dis position w.out masters doe.. Lol

. For this ongoing recruitment that we are waiting to write aptitude test or the previous one?

Good one! That is how it should be. Kick out non performing ones around you and replace them those who are productive. I wonder why Buhari is still keeping Fashola and co as Ministers when it is obvious they are not performing.

When are we likely going to get message from them for test since the deadline has elapsed?

repent of your way of thought, for your own peace of mind! buhari was stopped from carrying out his project of a better Nigeria by your seniors in 1985 now some of their offsprings (PDP, formed by IBB & co) is trying to stop him again make una fear God o

Keep blaming everybody. The blame game started since 1983. Read the speech again for reference purposes.

9jatriot:
I read enough to know that you are trying to say the results then are same with now. u forget we did not see how that would have ended coz it was cut short and replaced with what is being suggested now and we know d result of thay

Ok, let the slow motion and its attendant economic debacle continue to ravage the country. We are waiting.

9jatriot:
good analysis. you forgot to tell us how IBB came and turned the country into a first world country

. We are not comparing with IBB's regime. We are only looking at the problems that bedeviled the nation during Buhari's military Junta, which are exactly what we are witnessing now. Read again please.

Read the bolded parts and compare it with our present economic quagmire.

FLASHBACK: The coup speech that overthrew Buhari on August 27, 1985…


I, Brigadier Joshua Nimyel Dogonyaro, of the Nigerian Army, hereby make the following declaration on behalf of my colleagues and members of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

Fellow country men, the intervention of the military at the end of 1983 was welcomed by the nation with unprecedented enthusiasm. Nigerians were unified in accepting the intervention and looked forward hopefully to progressive changes for the better. Almost two years later, it has become clear that the fulfillment of expectations is not forthcoming.

Because this generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country but Nigeria, we could not stay passive and watch a small group of individuals misuse power to the detriment of our national aspirations and interest.

No nation can ever achieve meaningful strides in its development where there is an absence of cohesion in the hierarchy of government; where it has become clear that positive action by the policy makers is hindered because as a body it lacks a unity of purpose.

It is evident that the nation would be endangered with the risk of continuous misdirection. We are presently confronted with that danger. In such a situation, if action can be taken to arrest further damage, it should and must be taken. This is precisely what we have done.

The Nigerian public has been made to believe that the slow pace of action of the Federal Government headed by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari was due to the enormity of the problems left by the last civilian administration.

Although it is true that a lot of problems were left behind by the last civilian government, the real reason, however, for the very slow pace of action is due to lack of unanimity of purpose among the ruling body; subsequently, the business of governance has gradually been subjected to ill-motivated power play considerations. [/b]The ruling body, the Supreme Military Council, has, therefore, progressively been made redundant by the actions of a select few members charged with the day-to-day implementation of the SMC’s policies and decision.

[b]The concept of collective leadership has been substituted by stubborn and illadvised unilateral actions, thereby destroying the principles upon which the government came to power. Any effort made to advise the leadership, met with stubborn resistance and was viewed as a challenge to authority or disloyalty.

Thus, the scene was being set for systematic elimination of what, was termed oppositions. All the energies of the rulership were directed at this imaginary opposition rather than to effective leadership.

The result of this misdirected effort is now very evident in the country as a whole. The government has started to drift. The economy does not seem to be getting any better as we witness daily increased inflation.

The nation’s meager resources are once again being wasted on unproductive ventures. Government has distanced itself from the people and the yearnings and aspirations of the people as constantly reflected in the media have been ignored.

This is because a few people have arrogated to themselves the right to make the decisions for the larger part of the ruling body. All these events have shown that the present composition of our country’s leadership cannot, therefore, justify its continued occupation of that position.

Furthermore, the initial objectives and programmes of action which were meant to have been implemented since the ascension to power of the Buhari Administration in January 1984 have been betrayed and discarded. T[b]he present state of uncertainty and stagnation cannot be permitted to degenerate into suppression and retrogression.[/b]

We feel duty bound to use the resources and means at our disposal to restore hope in the minds of Nigerians and renew aspirations for a better future. We are no prophets of doom for our beloved country, Nigeria. We, therefore, count on everyone’s cooperation and assistance.

I appeal to you, fellow countrymen, particularly my colleagues in arms to refrain from any act that will lead to unnecessary violence and bloodshed among us. Rest assured that our action is in the interest of the nation and the armed forces.

In order to enable a new order to be introduced, the following bodies are dissolved forthwith pending further announcements: (a) The Supreme Military Council (b) The Federal Executive Council (c) The National Council of States. All seaports and airports are closed, all borders remain closed.

Finally, a dusk to dawn curfew is hereby imposed in Lagos and all state capitals until further notice. All military commanders will ensure effective maintenance of law and order. Further announcements will be made in due course. God bless Nigeria.

FortunateOsahon:
Stop ranting online, real men perform live action and not social media chest beating. Making noise and chest beating is a sign of cowardice.

Get out of my sight Ewu! I so wish we can meet one on one let me prove to you that I am not a coward. If you had tried half of what I pulled through as a man in life you wouldn't have survived it. I have outgrown some things but that doesn't mean idiots like you should take that for weakness.

Every single Fulani soul in the South East will be wasted. Men are moving down to the east soon. We will CRUSH anything that moves from Fulani land. Enough is Enough.

Learn to shoot any Fulani herdsman at sight. When you see them, waste them all. Infact enter their territory and kill anything that moves. That is the rule in my community right now. Suffer not the witch to live.

Nonsense! So power generation is now a rocket science? When you were running your mouth up and down you thought it was a bird of roses. Those who called you their Messiah didn't understand that you were sitting on billions of naira in Lagos State, which even the dumbest human on earth can use even 50% of the money to transform the State. Now the chips are down.

During GEJ's regime, you told the whole world that since the price of oil in the international market has fallen drastically, the price of PMS in petrol stations should be sold below N40 per litre. Now the price of crude oil has fallen far below what it was during GEJ's regime yet your government is selling a litre of fuel at N250. Hypocrite.

Statistics for that matter. Kudos to you. indeed you are a genius.

Somethings are better not said at all. Is this supposed to be news or acceptance of failure on the part of the government. What will 4 trucks of PMS do for a whole State? nawa

donphilopus:
You expect to see any project now? You must be daft! How is that possible when some Senators who are definitely playing PDP' script are hell-bent on frustrating the 2016 budget?

. You must be a super hypocrite and a dummy. When Jonathan told you guys that some elements in government were sabotaging his efforts you people called him a dummy and a weakly. What happened to Buhari's body language or are the Senators immuned to his body language super magic? Zombie!

donphilopus:
When it was within 320 - 321, we saw how a set of people usually flood here to jubilate over it. Today, it's 317 now and hopefully it would go down to 250 before the 2nd half of the year.

Oh ye celebrants of bad news, flood this thread and celebrate this as well!

. Same way you were eager to hear bad news from Jonathan's government. Infact, you guys created terrible scenes just to make the country ungovernable for him. Now we should start celebrating your Messiah abi? No single project has been initiated barely his one year in office. The power sector is in a state of comatose, no fuel, nothing is working and you guys are happy because it is Buhari. NONSENSE!

Only someone who lacks understanding of the rudiments of Economics will applaud this move. This is totally counterproductive and it will make no economic sense in the long run. For your information, this policy will perpetuate Nigeria in her already import dependency trap. They have only succeeded in dividing Nigeria and China into Consumption/import dependent economy and Production/export economy respectively. Any policy that cannot strengthen our export base in relation to import is useless for now. What we need is economy diversification via import substitution strategy of industrialization.

It is obvious the OP and indeed the FG do not understand the economic implications of this especially in the long run, hence the jubilation.
