MiddleDimension:
didn't you see Glo there? what about God Is Good and other transport companies?

You mean Nigerian transport businesses operating outside Nigeria as independent biz entities in other African countries? Educate me.

israelmao:
Why not the existence of local and international supermarkets together in order to create more jobs?Are the locals afraid of the international?

Number problem is our banks. It's expensive to obtain loan to create a business or expand. Foreign entities that come to Nigeria have access to cheaper credits. The banks are the "devils doing" us. Who will go collect loan with 26% interest to open a retail business. Nigeria will flourish if credit is cheaper like 6 -10% interest credit. Thats why business people in countries like US or Europe seem like "magician". They are probably less talented but they have access to cheaper funds and superb operating conditions. Our enemies are the elites. The banks and public officials. Don't you see that both even collude to keep the people poor. Politicians steal money and hand it over to the banks. Banks choose to give loans at crazy interest rate because they have no genuine commitment to support local business. Their main customers are the "theiving" politicians. Imagine, banks are also into businesses that does not concern them like selling recharge cards. Just imagine!

delpee:
You're absolutely right! That's what I consider more important. A lot of suppliers will lose that opportunity of easy access to the market.

Of course other supermarkets will spring up or expand in due course. There's Foodco, Justrite etc apart from the ones mentioned earlier.

Stealing by employees is another major issue though.

Not really against intra-African trade but we need more local competitors. The issue of shoplifting employees is not as big as that in the scheme of challenges facing them. Let them spend more on security technology. I know that a Nigerian employed to man the CCTV monitoring room will work hard to impress his/her boss.

MiddleDimension:
Nigerian Access bank recently took over a Kenyan bank. Dangote is in several countries at least 14 African countries. Glo is all over west Africa too. there is UBA in other African countries including Kenya. we have businesses scathered everywhere. and it is important we continue to encourage intra africa trade

Aside from the banks and Dangote, show me any other Nigerian biz entity that operates outside Nigeria. I have no problem with inter-Africa trades but if it's one-sided then there is a problem. Nigerians are not doing enough. The problem is with Nigerians and not the foreign businesses that come here. If we can't run a business comfortably at home, then how can we go to other markets. Most of our so-called billionaire and millionaires are simply profiteers.

NightHawke:
When a shopping outlet like Shoprite closes it has negative ripple effect. Businesses and various suppliers who thrive through Shoprite will be affected. Job losses etc'

I have observed over time the increase in Nigeria value added products on sale at Shoprite. I can refill my kitchen up to 80% of our needs with discount of 5-15%.

Household purchases i can do up to 60% excluding specific needs or options at bargain pricing.

The economy is already a mess. Right now we need to keep companies from quiting. 100% or 0% sales Shoprite has a huge energy and maintenance bill etc Some outlets in the mall cant market themselves and thrive on customers coming to make purchases at Shoprite to stopover..

Shehu Sanni is comfortable and until he can replace Shoprite with an equivalent or better brand with more opportunities for Nigerians let him keep his peace......Lunch time is about over now and incoming email indicates three more regular staffs dropped. Meanwhile 2019-2020 forcast initially projected 6-8 possible employment and 16x2shifts for production...Is it still feasible?

Shopping may seem good for buyers but for every Shoprite there are thousands of micro and small business lossers that have lost customers and their means of livelihood to Shoprite. Aside from the comfort it provide to shoppers, it's a bad omen for Nigeria, especially with the fact that it is a foreign entity. Shoprite is :crying now because it's probably having problem moving its funds out of Nigeria because of dollar crunch. A local entity wouldn't face that especially if most of the products are local. Nigerians are slackers who have to wait for a foreign own retailer to shop comfortably. What does it take to run a retail business as that?

Brandonx:
So shop rite has been the reason local supermarkets have not grown.

Proverbs 17:28 says "Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding".


Stop coming to my mention with your frustration.
Nigeria where local supermarkets extort people.
I never knew local supermarkets grow by selling at exorbitant prices.

If you don't understand the facts behind his reasoning, why not do simple research. It's just like how Walmart in the US have muscle out small groceries or retail stores. And thats even an American company. In this case, Shoprite is foreign owned, probably by white south Africans with European roots. While the latter is not the point, it also contribute to capital flight. I wonder what stop Nigerians from coming together to create a local retailer as that. We have to wait for foreigners to come do everything.

Brandonx:
You are sick for asking if I'm well. You think they enjoy the Job? They should quit and sit at your gate to feed them na Oshi.

Are you a policeman? So, it's okay to use police uniform to extort members of the public because they don't like their job. They are not different from criminal politicians who rob the masses.

[quote author= post=92413498]Omo which bank register POS give police men ? Abeg make them sanction such bank manager.. shuu wetin we no go hear for this country self[/quote]They could have obtained it fraudulently with the bank not knowing the purpose. The policemen will collude with a biz entity to go to the bank to register the POS and then hand it over to the policemen. I suspect there will be a sharing formula between these criminal cops and the entity that registered or handed them the pos.

Tunjingwu:
So I met my childhood friend yesterday at lekki.
He is still the elegant young man he has always been.

We spoke at length.
Nothing much has changed about him.
He is still very enthusiastic about life. An Engineer who after working with a firm is now on his own. Things are not very rosy but he can still hold his own.

We started talking about family since we all are married abielt for few years.

Here is the gist.....

He is contemplating having a girlfriend.
His wife hardly have sex with him.
Sometimes it takes 2 months for them to make love once. Nothing appears to be the problem other than the wife complaints of tiredness and not being in the mood for almost every time.
They have two kids(twins).

He had come to tell me to either approve or disapprove his strong intention of keeping a lady by the side since he can afford it comfortably.
I felt for him.

I disuaded him though I know how it feels to stay without sex with your wife under the same roof for months.

You pay all the bills yet you don't eat from the goody bag to your test.

Since yesterday, I have been a little worried for him. I do not know whether to call him and advise him to go ahead with his plan but try and be careful.

It's a dicey situation especially when the wife is not ready to change.

What's the connection between paying bills and having sex with your wife. Well, better to pick up prostitutes if want it cheap. Nigerians and their warped mentality.

AroleOduduwa2:
This forum is full unapologetic zombies, they claim people are comfortable with being slaves to the west through IMF loans, but fail to tell us how IMF and the world bank has canceled our loans in the past, how they have given us debt reliefs countless times without taken over our country like the Chinese took over Zambia’s National Assets.

China already has a base in Djibouti in Africa. If any country fail to pay back a loan and refused to hand over the assets, the Chinese military is ready to move in. America is the world greatest debtor and protects itself by having the most formidable military in the world just in case it can't meet it's debt obligation. People are still sleeping in Nigeria. When Chinese military forcefully take over once Nigeria default and refuse to hand over the assets, Nigerians eyes will clear.

overdrive:
Thank God no be Nigerian citizen. Never knew oyibo are into fraud as well.

Don't let Americans fool you. Ninety-nine percent of the fraud committed here in the US are perpetrated by Americans. Go watch a program that maybe available on YouTube called American Greed, you will open mouth at the monumental fraud going on inside US perpetrated by their citizens. I can't count the number of scam calls I get daily on my phone. I virtually have to use a scam call blocker to prevent those calls. I blocked phone number tire. Even on Youtube you will see ads of potential scammers selling outrageous online get-rich products. In one example, I checked the review of the seller online and people on reddit complain about the guy. He was even claiming to have worked before in white house and to have managed $250 billion portfolio. What monumental lie. And Youtube allowed such individual to advertise on its platform. Let a Nigerian try that, you will hear alarm blow.

obiekunie2:
now i understand why they quickly showed his pictures.

the other shooters that killed their superior officers we have never seen their pics.


once an igbo man is involved, then the narative changes instantly.



NOW NO ONE WILL NOTICE THE UNDERLINING FACTORS



- DENIAL OF ALLOWANCES AND SALARIES FOR MONTHS AND DENIAL OF EXIT PERMIT.

AND THE POOR SOLDIER SLIDE INTO DEPRESSION AND DEMENTIA.

YET CAPTURED BOKO HARAM FIGHTERS ARE TREATED TO SUMPTUOUS MEALS AND TREATED LIKE KINGS WHILE THE SOLDIERS ARE TREATED LIKE SLAVES.

Everything is ethnic to you people. You all need help from this mental sickness.

Adjovi:
Some youths are just plain stupid. Those of you saying rubbish up there like it won't affect everyone of us. This is the problem with us. Instead of the rest of us that are sane to stand together and do the right thing, we are being consumed by tribal hatred. I'm just tired of the kinda youths I'm sharing this country with.
It's true some of us will travel out of the country, how be it some of us won't get to leave the country, to those of us who might end up not leaving, can we at least fight for the future of our unborn children and ours? Unity is very key let's stop all this tribal racism abeg.

I tire for these kind people o. I said somewhere that the greatest threat against Nigeria is coming from outside aided saboteurs from inside and the only way to survive and win in the face of these threats is to come together. Rather, people are busy throwing childish ethnic jabs. No one is safe, not anywhere in any part of Nigeria. By the time it happen your eyes would clear but it will be too late.

Mmuoojukwu:
Sai Buhari. Yorubas don't regret sabotaging Gej. Una neva see anitin.

Still crying over election that happened over 5yrs ago? And for someone that was weak and allowed massive looting. Maybe if Jonathan had saved most of the proceeds earned from record oil prices of over $100 per barrel, Buhari would have met funds to spend on infrastructure instead of borrowing. Sentiments kills ability to reason objectively. You should all grow up.

Ask Jonathan what happened to the Abuja and Lagos CCTV loan he collected from China. Yet no CCTV ever built in Abuja or Lagos. Tell me, of all infrastructure needed in the country, na CCTV your brother Jonathan choose to collect loan from China for. How dumb is that. A govt that earned record revenue from oil at over $100 per barrel still collected loan to construct CCTV. And yet Aunty Diezani still stole billion of dollars.

proeast:
They gave you railway and in return, collected both the railway and the lands and other assets. China must be a very smart and cunning country while Nigeria is the mugu

Thank God that non of the loans was spent in the East, and we Igbos even wrote to many global bodies including China to reject it at that time.

You see how Good works in mysterious ways

And east is not part of Nigeria. By the time China send in its military to claim whatever they want, we will see what you will all do. All ethnic minded bigots never learn anything.

sulaak:
That what the people are missing, the Chinese will claim the LNG, Sea Ports and Airports virtually colonising the country.

As they already did in Sri Lanka, Djibouti and few other countries.

"The minister also hinted that he was getting signal from the Chinese government that Nigeria may not get the loan following the probe by the National Assembly."


So, China is telling us we have no right to scrutinize the loan agreements. Their Father! Go ask Tanzania president. He tore the $10 Billion loan agreement between China and his predecessor, saying only a drunk person will signed to such agreement with China. Let them carry their money go. All the money being stolen right, left and center can be channeled to infrastructure. Remember the $16 billion wasted/stolen for power sector. NDDC just wasted and stole N15 trillion with nothing to show.

Imagine the person who is planning to rip you off is giving you condition. Nija elites are just brain dead wicked.

fulanimafia:
Sowore is just a frustrated anarchist with a sinister agenda for this country.

Instead of him to restrategize after his defeat at the polls, he is hell-bent on criminally bringing down the FG through wicked lies, blackmail, libel, fraud & treasonous activities.

He needs to be locked up once and for all. The child that denies it's mother sleep will never find rest.

Why not go rent soldiers and go pick him up. Country of people with no balls and culture of dishonesty. A sole individual has choose to stand up to your govt and here you are rapping nonesence.

2cribz:
Mama dark. Late daughter light and over bleached

And this is all that concern you in this sad matter. You suppose dey asylum at Yaba.

xolocious:
Which way Nigeria? The truth is... There's no way. It keeps getting worse and people keeps hoping their preferred candidates wins (Selfish interests though).
Naija don cast. If you get any opportunity to leave, abeg no think am twice. Japa. Naija don cast.

Pray for God to protect us in any situation. Truth that our people will score zero when it come to safety but unexpected accidents happen anywhere. A story of Brazilian tourist walking along the road "jejely" in Calgary (Canada) and a gush of wind blew a metallic item from a construction site for a tall building, and straight at this poor fellow. That guide was knocked blind. He was offered a residency in Canada to get adequate treatment but nothing will bring his sight back. Anywhere we are, we should pray for God's protection. Bizarre things can happen.

These container trucks have sent so many to eatly grave. Anytime am visiting and in a vehicle, I tell drivers never to stay beside any container truck. Drive as fast as you can to be ahead of them or simply let them be ahead. Even in this case, the bus was just by itself dropping passengers and this happened. The crazy truck driver was probably speeding where there was pothole on the highway.

Briells:
Omo... See money! May God help us get to this stage, amen.

Listen guys, rather than leaving your funds sitting in the bank, with various deductions here and there, thereby depreciating the value of your cash, invest it in the company I work with and earn a minimum of 10% monthly.

This is no scam please, you can come for physical verification at our office in Lagos, contact me on 0 8 zero 6 two 5 1 one 6 1 0 for more details

First, let's see your company CAC certificate here. Then copy of the license that authorize the company to accept cash from public investors. If you do, i will invest N2 million rightaway.

Ladyhippolyta88:
The bible did not categorically use the word caining there are other forms of discipline aside flogging mr man.Stop misquoting the bible.
In other countries where we have christian families did they tell you that they discipline their children by caining them.
Flogging or corporal punishment on a child is abuse and not discipline when you overdo something you abuse it
Rather than cain your child communicate and build a relationship with your child.Only animals that get flogged not humans
Corporal punishment is not from a place of love but a parents failed attempt in communicating with their kids.


There are other forms of discipline aside caining apply that one and stop using the bible to support violent acts in the name of discipline.

A slap on the but or on that hand used to take what doesn't belong to him or her will not harm. Only evil parents will harm their kids for taking what is not his or hers. Even the other societies you refer to was into heavy corporal punishment before modern times. They were into public lynching as well. Stop fooling yourself.

Fikayo106:
Don't get it twisted, what this bros is tryna say is the boy is a criminal cos he committed a crime leading to his mother taking disciplinary measure. Thereby, related post should be in crime section.

You are really a mentally deranged person. You ought to have been sent to prison as a child for stealing money under your mum's pillow. The mum didn't state specifically what the boy did or took without permission. Almost all kids do that at certain age and it's parent responsibility to shake it off them. Once my 5 yr old daughter decided to take an item at the mall and put it in her pocket not knowing we saw what she did. We rebuked her right there and that was the last time she ever took anything that belong to another.

Here is the problem. When you were all young and adults asked you "what would you want to be in the future", none of you ever said you will want to be an entrepreneur, a businessman, businesswoman or a CEO of a company.. So, who will create the jobs? You are all waiting for the government to create that. That's not the primary function of the government except to be an enabler which they have also failed to do.

21. Please spell words correctly when you post, and try to use perfect grammar and punctuation.

Oga professor of English. I first want you to write that in your local language. Maybe after that I will take you serious.

This is the kind of news CNN like to cover. Awon were! Kudos to the prince.

Shes now feeling Fly With that her Shoulders that looks like a Man's shoulders and her Very thick Lips

Eh! See who is talking. Someone stole your mirror. Abi you get Oyinbo lips. Black person wey dey say another black person get thick lips. Be careful o. Ponmo don scarce for market. Bad boys fit hunt you down for your ponmo lips.

Want to look "caucasian" at all cost.

hisgrace090:
Go and thank God you did not ask this question in a Muslim dominated area.

Is this not the same country that ordered the butchering of a journalist from their country in Turkey. All zealots.

“At that material time of this commercial transaction and till date, I had no prior knowledge that Justice Ajumogobia had any interest whatsoever in the company.”


Whatever you think, it doesn't mean this is not possible. Not every directors listed with CAC as directors are involved in running a company. Some simply became directors because they invested and may be involved in other things. By Nigeria standard, that N5 million is meager. People that give bribes in dollars. I don't believe EFCC. How can a prosecutor bribe a judge to win a case against the other party being accused of fraud? What's the motive? Even when EFCC was already owing him unpaid fees. It doesn't make sense.

SLAP44:
The only reason for the problems in the Niger Delta is the way Nigeria is milking them dry and using their money to develop other parts of the country.

If they get their own country, Dubai will be created in Africa.

Not with the kind of leaders they have. Dubai achieved its status because of its leader. It's same problem nationwide irrespective of region. Nigeria is in the hands of gluttons.
