The world is getting richer: The global economy expanded by more than 3 percent to $80.68 trillion in 2017. But that wealth is not distributed equally.
North America, home to less than than 5 percent of the global population, accounts for about one-fourth of global economic output. Meanwhile, in South Asia, where nearly 25 percent of the world’s population resides, the region’s economic activity accounts for less than 4 percent of global gross domestic product.
GDP may be the standard method for gauging the size of a particular country or region’s economy, but it does not account for all of the wealth generated by that nation. A more accurate indicator of a country’s economic output is its gross national income, or GNI. This measure captures all economic activity within a nation’s borders in addition to wealth created by nationally owned entities operating in other countries.
Using data from the World Bank, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the GNI per capita of about 180 nations to identify the 25 richest countries. We also included life expectancy at birth from the World Bank, as well as GDP from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The wealthiest 25 countries in the world have complex and diverse economies. They export goods and services that originate in a variety of industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and aerospace. Another common characteristic among the richest countries is the relative lack of corruption.
According to corruption watchdog Transparency International, the least corrupt countries feature a free press, open access to public information, and judicial systems free from undue influence. Another common characteristic of the wealthiest nations is all of the 25 richest countries have life expectancies at birth above the world average of 72 years.

This story seems almost unbelievable, especially the bolded part.
Are you for real??!??

If so, the "two both of you" na real gangsta couple, ...Bonnie and Clyde....
I throway left buttock for una o!

That is just the plain truth bro....what particularly attracted me to her was the truth she told me about her...4 Month prior to meeting her, she had baby and the baby died during child birth due to stress she went thru in the hand of her then boyfriend or fiance family.

Jesuspikin8:
There's really no formula for these things.

You are right my brother....No Formulae at all.

2011, I jokingly wrote on a platform called nairalist that I need a serious lady for a relationship that will lead to marriage. She was the only person that replied my message with her number.

I called her and went to see her at Surulere. We chatted and I left. After a week my phone rang, boom she was the one calling and she said I have not call her since I left her place. I told her I was busy at work.

She came to my house by weekend and since that day she became my wife. never went back home till after 2 months she was pregnant. I told her to go inform her parent, That I am ready to marry her.

8 Years still counting with three 3kidz. we are still enjoying ourself

Nothing special...My wife of today moved into my house a week after we met. after 2 months, she was pregnant then I did introduction and went to registry.

Today we are still together 8 years still counting. with 3kids.

Who pays N230,000 per year rent in Ifo, Ogun State? There's nothing there to waste such amount of money on rent unless you are working with one of the multinationals in Agbara or higher level civil servant in the working in the same community.

Most of the people I know residing in Ifo work in Lagos. I wonder why they have to put themselves through such stress of traffic challenges from Lagos to Ifo every day of the week. Transportation fare and personal car maintenance expenses are more than enough to have yourself a nice 2 or 3 bedrooms flat in the suburb of Lagos instead of killing yourself in Ogun State/Ifo with stress. Road network in Ota/Ifo is the worst in Nigeria to the best of my knowledge.

It makes sense if you work in Ota/Ifo.

I got banned trying to reply your post the other time.

The problem is a motherboard issue, even if he try 100 fan it will still give him the same error.

EMC ic controlling the fan might be faulty or clk and data signal maybe missing and to get this he needs an oscilloscope.

He should check if 5v is available on fan positive pin, if not he should remove it and draw 5v from USB port.
Other wise he should follow the above steps.

could you plz help me with any good computer engineer in Lagos

NettyNelly:
he probably didn't put a compatible fan. It goes of cause of the protective measure of the processor which is to trip off if the fan sensor fails to signal its activity.
There is a way to tweak these feature in the bios
Try a professional technician

plz do you know anybody u can recommend?

My Laptop Lenovo T410 is showing Fan error and went off...I gave it to an engineer who says he had tried 2 different fans with yet is not working.

He said it coild be the board. what do you think I should do.

Atiku Is Not A Nigerian By Birth But By Secession - NOT QUALIFIED TO CONTEST NIGERIAN PRESIDENT
According to our constitution, in order to contest for president, you must be a Nigerian citizen by birth. When Atiku was born, he was not a nigerian then until 1961 when his region finished a referendum and became part of Nigeria. The cable confirmed this today that Kanu was right afterall.
Atiku should be prepared because he was not a Nigeria by birth but by secession

Before you criticize a system make sure you make an effort to become a part of it and observe from within
You people will willingly take student loans , work several jobs etc just to get a degree from Yale , Harvard or some backwater university in the UK where they use the money from African students for their own students.

Stop acting like you have the best interest of the so called poor at heart , you know nothing about how that school is run and when someone who was a part of the system is trying to educate you, you scream nonsense.

Your federal government schools that are affordable for the poor are nothing to write home about . Despite the fact that these schools are funded from taxes generates from the poor an average government universitys merit list has the names of lecturers and politicians kids first before your own children will dream of it.
Despite funding from taxes and it being affordable for the poor we dilapidated structures , overcrowded classrooms and hostels, outdated lecture notes , lecturers who act like gods etc.

Despite being in a third world country that seems to be going backward cannanland and the entire ministry is one of the most structured I have seen in Nigeria.

There has never been power outage in cannanland since it was dedicated in 1999. It doesn't use phcn but internally generated gas power plants unlike your country that has been battling power issues since 1960.

How that church is run still baffles me sometimes, it is an obvious miracle.

It isn't run on taxes which are expected to be regular but on tithes.

You really think everyone pays tithes and offerings.

How many high income earners even attend the church.
Remember tithe is 10% of once a month . unlike many pastors I ha e never seen oyedepo raise seed offering and trust me I have been to many churches where pastors frustrate their members with sowing money for miracles and seed offerings .

Like I said earlier how that church is run without any hitch is a miracle to me. Despite massive looting , yes I said massive looting within the system by members of administration, pastors and those in charge of accounts that church still manages to stand.

Do you know that there was a system set up to give very poor members 50k and 20k (depending on your need ) to start a business of your choice.
Do you know that that initiative was frustrated by fraudulent practises of pastors within the system and many poor people who come back 10 times to collect money with many different stories.

What of the free bus rides provided for church members nko? greedy drivers , greedy pastors destroyed it.

Before you criticize a system be part of it first and see how its run

Before you criticize a man walk a mile in his shoes first and see how it pinches.

I have an assignment for you - as you have taken time out to be a freedom fighter and cry out for the poor I hope you also take out time and money to care for the poor people in your community. Unless you have no case

Hello... Stop defending fraud here. The truth is that Oyedepo is not helping anybody... He is simply doing Education business because is profitable.... He got bills to pay and worker to pay... Nobody run Education on charity.

Ask yourself simple question, does he open the school for the church member? I don't thinks so.

You like it or not, he is doing business... Simple.
