In reality, the prison inmates gets about 30 to 40 naira daily. Watery garri with watery beans. No fish, no meat, no oil self!
By the time the guys come out they become hardened and want to take it out on their fellow country men. Pathetic.

Isokey!

Op next time show us the pictures of the winners.
I like seeing winners as am winning and want to be motivated to win still

I believe in my country my God and myself. I pray God to bless Nigeria and grant Nigeria peace.

There is North, South, East, West and Central Africa. Based on that classification which is what we all accept, Nigeria is in West Africa. Clap for me and yourself

Now take a closer look at the map of Africa. Leave out west or east and you are left with north or south. Now, is Nigeria in the North or South? I feel the writer viewed it from the second angle. Lets think out of the box and not make trouble out of what is not wahala

Thank me leter

INTROVERT:
how can he be standing tall when it took me almost 20 seconds to sight him....

Excellent observation is exactly what I was thinking.

We dey here dey talk. Some localities in the US have no street lights. Its dark at night in those places.
Governor Ambode please keep on putting your lights everywhere and then Ogun State, to Oyo, to Osun, To Ekiti, to Kwara ,to Kogi, North, South, East and West will take a cue and Nigeria will have POWERFUL LIGHT. That is where we should be going!
Lets go there then. Kudos to Ambode! You can do more jare! Nigeria ko no oje, baje, o baje ti.

Lets thank God for the governor and the yellow light. Shikenan!

LOL.
Indeed you are wise. So how many of those products u mentioned are actually being imported by Nigeria.
Why not use workable examples like the products that are actually being imported.
For example:
1. Rice:
Read the interview granted to Daily Trust by a Rice farmer: http://dailytrust.com.ng/news/business/-nigeria-depended-on-imported-rice-for-too-long/107569.html

2. Cars:
The import duties on cars had to be reviewed upwards (that is, increased) so as to eliminate competition with local cars because without that, the cost of imported cars will be less than that of locally manufactured cars. Read this article by Nigerian Trade Hub: http://www.nigeriatradehub.gov.ng/News/tabid/98/entryid/83/fg-raises-tariff-on-imported-cars.aspx

3. Frozen Chicken:
It was actually the ban on imported frozen chicken that led to high prices of Frozen chicken in Nigeria. But even at that, it is still less costly that an equivalent amount of live chicken and the importation of frozen chicken is actively endangering our local poultry farming. Read the following article:
https://www.wealthresult.com/2014/07/how-to-know-if-frozen-chicken-is-good.html

Should I go on?
When u were taught Localisation of Industries in economics, I hope u were also taught that all things must be ceteris paribus before it works that way. Did ur teacher explain to you what happens when there are imported alternatives to your local products?

I am idiotic and u are wise.
Mr Wisdom, clap for yourself.

Idiotic simply means unintelligent. You first mentioned "level of education" in your initial response. No qualms, we are here to share ideas, no fighting intended! I still stand however by my initial assertions. That is there is the need to empower and encourage local producers/manufacturers. Thats the most effective and efficient way about it.

EgunMogaji:
Is it by force to leave in Atlanta or Phoenix?

Come to Southern California and enjoy year round perfect weather or go to Hawaii.

Agreed my broda, but people in california have complained about the winter cold which is rather much this year. What about the heat in Oklahoma and the cold too when its cold? They all at extreme when they occur IN THEIR SEASON now!

Please, what is ur highest level of education?
How on earth is it possible that locally produced goods will ever be cheaper than imported goods?
There us a reason imported goods are always cheaper than locally manufactured goods. So that it can compete with and destroy the market for locally produced goods and so keep the demand for importation high to the detriment of local production.

If imported goods are not banned, the drive for local production will virtually be non-existent. Because they cannot compete with imported goods.

Educate urself properly before making comments.

Yes sir! Your statement "How on earth is it possible that locally produced goods will ever be cheaper than imported goods?" got me thinking.
So if Nigeria produce Adire it will be more expensive than imported Adire?
So Nigerian cocoa will be more expensive than imported cocoa?
So Nigerian groundnut will be more expensive than imported groundnut?
So Nigerian crude oil will be more expensive than imported crude crude oil?
So Aba made goods will be more expensive in Aba than elsewhere?
And from your idiotic analogy, all the Tokunbo cars sold at Cotonou or Apapa ports are cheaper at the ports than the countries from which they were brought in. Wake up guy!

I hope you did economics and were taught about the benefits of "Localisation of Industries". The locality where the industry is located will get the goods at cheaper rates as the cost of transporting somewhere else for sale will be off.

Leave my level of education aside and lets iron things out logically and critically. In the US, chicken is very cheap because of the improvement to the poultry farming technology used. If Nigeria can do same for poultry and a full chicken produced locally sells for N500 while the imported one sells for N700. Its only a matter of time people will go for the local one. What am driving at is that the energy and resources put into running after Okrika importers, chicken importers can be used to produce this goods locally.
The moment customs seize goods well especially frozen foods, do you observe that the prices go up locally. Why? the local supply cant meet the demand and price go up. And the government have no answer to that except that the citizens should pay more! This makes the demand for the contraband to rise.
Hope you get my point?
Thank me later!

bigfido:
Yes you can

Can one get visa with 7, 8, 9 months pregnancy?

But Nigeria is not just starting on the losing spree. What they ban, Cotonou allows and then they start pursuing those who are bringing it in via Cotonou. Lets wake up and allow all to come in via our waters and make it cheap and legit. Then provide adequate and competitive edge for our local producers and manufacturers to do theirs and at lower prices. Once what is produced within is at lower prices and better than the imported no one will go for the imported again and naturally people will not import. But the moment there is no production and manufacturing within to meet demand and you keep banning. then you create room for smugglers!
painful but true. If you are cose to the policy makers tell them and send me a mail so I can get my cheque. I will give you 20%. thank me later!

EgunMogaji:
What fierce weather? Keep stroking yourself.

Am not kidding, in some places when it is cold its very cold and when it is hot it is extremely hot. Its in the extreme in both cases. Ice rain, snow, and then heat oozing from the soil, etc.

I know of a lawyer who travelled to Brazil and came back with nothing. the items he shared to save face were bought from Oshodi, Lagos. lets share experiences of the good side and the other so that others can learn.

Up and down, Bear and Bull market. It is well. Time is key here for profit.

moshino:
How about the issue of the source of your $s, its rare to come across a legitimate Nigerian in US who has legitimate $50k - $100k cash at a whim to transfer to Nigeria for exchange. It takes a very long time to save upto that amount of cash in US, even if you're a medical doctor.

Hmmnn. True talk! Some think people just pick USD on the floor in America. I am worried about all these online exchange - transfer going on here. Someone should not start posting here that he/she has been duped soon ooo.
Just my advise. Thank me later.

Why scam? No be to deliver before I pay?
Simple!

BuddhaPalm:
If you know what taxes are in the US & UK them, cold go catch you.

You fit earn £10m them go get mind collect HALF!

In UK and US you see clearly what they are ding with your tax. Roads are good, light is steady, etc. Is it the same here?

I know of someone who heads a department in an insurance company in Lagos. he won the visa lottery then but he refused to go because he believes he is doing fine in Nigeria already. To him travelling to US to begin all over again is not advisable. Your views?

radiokilla:
certainly yes. there is no level playing ground between colleagues in the developed countries and the third tier countries. i saw an 18 year old purchase a site well over $5000 on flippa. it's unspeakable in the Nigerian setting

He purchased a website for 1 million naira ($5000)? I know of Nigerians who do more than that online here in Nigeria despite the huge sums we pay for internet and down time sometimes. In advanced climes they do not experience internet issues as such. Nigerians still press on despite.

ChinonsoDike2:
Typical black man, absolutely no critical thinking skills. You expect Trump to deport US citizens just because they are of Nigerian descent?! Fool! I hope your jealousy leads you to suicide, loser .
Nigeria owes me nothing, and I owe Nigeria nothing. Africa will never develop; it lacks the IQ threshold required to become a developed continent. All your efforts to develop it are in vain.

Your comment does not show critical thinking nor logic at. The guy did not say nor does his comment imply he is jealous. So, he cant commit suicide. Its your people (you know them) that are cowards that commit suicide over trivialities. Nigeria owes you a lot and you owe Nigeria a whole. Africa will develop. It has the IQ threshold required to be more than the developed continents. All our efforts to develop it will yield fruit and I will eat of it (numbers 13:30).

The guy simply wrote that Nigerians abroad should come over and develop Nigeria. Very simple. Most Nigerians who travel out have a big hatred for Nigeria and they struggle a lot abroad. Simple works they refuse to do in Nigeria, they do more menial ones abroad. They re in heavy debt and drive loaned cars and leave of state support and keep casting aspersions on people trying to develop Nigeria and Africa.

May all in your category have a rethink!

When are we going to be truly free from mental slavery!
Defending nonsense with stu.pi.dity.
We should not sell our integrity and strength of moral character because of political,religious or ethnic sentiments!

ORIGINAL MENTAL SLAVERY.
Is DSS= Department of Shoe Shiners or Department of State Security.
Naija Police self they hold umbrella for oga and carry madam bag!

I have heard and read about people wanting to travel abroad to work to earn dollar. Some of those who succeed eventually complain about the very high standard of living which leave them with no savings. Most Nigerians abroad do menial jobs that they cant do at home!
There is rumour that Donald Trump want t send Nigerians in the US away if he becomes the president. But really are Nigerians doing well in the US compared with if they stayed in Nigeria and work the way they work in the US?

Just ignore peterichy. He loves bear market he makes money by losing money.

Make money by losing money I fear o

Are stocks gone with the prices of oil down. Where are the GTBs, Zeniths, UBAs, Unions, FBNHs, etc

Please and please, why cant you place the information here and let all benefit and even reconstruct it if not feasible instead of requesting for peoples e mail and everyone is placing e mail now. Later this same people who are putting their emails here will be wondering where people who send them 419 mails got their emails from. It s from here and there now

NewGombawa:
B'cos Petroleum is Nigeria's No.-1 Enemy

TOTAL Annihilation of the Enemy,
Through control, understand?

NEWGOMBAWA, Nice comment, petroleum is the no 1 enemy. The President should have nothing to do with the enemy of our country. He should just ask the states that produce petroleum to take care of their oil as Fayemi is trying to do with minerals and as it happens in the Western world including America, even families: TRUE FEDERALISM.
