Tell that to Sanusi (ABU) and Soludo (UNN) who will lecture NOI (Havard/MIT) anyday on developmental economics. That's why you are a sheep in the PDP fold

which is why the price of diesel - a completely deregulated product has failed to come down even as oil is dropping to $45 a barrel

The more you edit and quote my posts, the more I insult u. I dare u to post another stupîd forecast or prediction and I'll make sure I take you to cleaners this night. Stupîd charlatan parading as an expert. i will forever remain an Îdiot!

duni04:

I was expecting a reasonable or enlightened reply from you, but what was I thinking? You're not capable of such cos I am a dunce.i am an Îdiot who is spewing thrash all over the thread, making beer parlour forecasts and predictions and people are actually taking him serious. Banks will retrench because Jonathan's government is plunging us in debt? Very stupîd argument!

duni04:

So debt is ur own benchmark for the massive layoffs you're ignorantly forcasting? And I'm the myopic one? What percentage of our debt is foreign and local, and what is our debt to GDP ratio? See me thinking that your argument was that the cbn's new CAR requirement in accordance with Basel 2 would put a squeeze on the banks and force them to cut costs. Not knowing that I am a dunce here was ignorantly pointing to debt. My fault, I AM REALLY A DUNCE. Mtshewwwww!

You are wrong. The biggest dam in the world (Yangtze Three Gorges Project) China cost almost the same amount stolen and it generate 22,500MW Purpose status: Power, flood control, navigation Operational. Imagine what dis dam will do for the economy

This is such a time when people would actually carry out mass withdrawals and divert their monies to something a lot more stable like landed property or even keeping their money at home or running offshore accounts. We are in a quagmire.

Nothing like praising a work well done, gives one alot of motivation to push further. . Your last sentence is the reason why most marketers are under pressure all the time.... Really, most marketing jobs are frustrating. ...It's well shaaa....

MarvellousGod:
Op, what do you have to say about the bolded?
Also, you see many employers sacking a marketer because the person didn't meet the traget for a particular month despite seeing the person's efforts and a good past record of meeting targets..

MarvellousGod:
You mentioned only European and American successful business men.... How many successful Nigerian businessmen started off as marketers or sales persons? ?

As far as I know,most sales/ marketing job in Nigeria is slavery. . Unrealistic targets, inconducive means of transportation and most marketers are hired as contract staffs which sees them getting lesser pay and denied of many benefits even after hustling on the street.. Also, many employers don't keep to their promise of giving certain percentage of profit gained when marketers make sales/bring new customers et al, most times employers give them below what's due to them... Most times, they're under alot of pressure that's why many of them don't look good atimes.... If I were to be an employer, marketers will be paid most because they're actually the people driving sales and making profit for the organisation. ..

The above was borne out of you saying many unemployed graduates are lazy that they can't take up sales/marketing jobs.. Don't blame them, some have learnt the hard way, sales job in Nigeria isn't favorable at all except for some companies mostly multinationals. ...That aside, I agree with the rest of your points as regards meeting influential people, building confidence et al..
