Dude when a woman tells u to take her as she is boy be ready for some dark past. she probably can't hide that part of her. she probably has done some great stunts she feels when u find out u''ll take off. so in summary, expect d best worse things in all ramifications.

Can you believe that senate hasn't still passed my class' result?

Hello guys! What's up with Final year and Nysc clearance in your various schools? My department is still holding on to my class results like say na their own.

Aaron, class of 2014, Mathematics and Economics.
Of the greatest University of Benin.

I can only offer you 3months of service in Economics alone. If still interested, just drop a reply.

My qualification: BSc in Mathematics and Economics, University of Benin, Benin City.

@efficiencie , I totally agree and appreciate your analysis, it all boils down to implementation. Sometimes I wonder if the people handling our economic affairs are even educated at all.

Of what use is GROWTH to Nigeria if it is not DEVELOPING? Of what use is a 510 billion dollars GDP if it accounts for 13 percent of global maternal mortality, 10.5 percent infant mortality rate, 60 percent youth unemployment rate...to mention but a few dismal indicators...Nigerian economists need to change the way they do economics...

It is no longer news that our development indicators (data) are skewed for what whatever reason mostly political. That's why I encourage working with primary data. When you use a skewed sat of GDP data for policy simulation, my friend you are JONZING you self and the gullible masses.

But sadly the skewed data has become widely accepted and celebrated. Data collection and analyzing technique(s) ought to be reviewed.

for the econometricians, what do you do when a series like broad money supply (M2) obtained from the CBN statistical bulletin is not stationary at level, at first difference and at second difference even after correcting for a linear trend and using a suite of tests - DF, ADF, PP and KPSS

You don't rush in answering questions of these nature, if a whole ADF test fails Then we need to sitdown and re-strategize. My quick answer would be, log the model and see the result. But wait a minute, money supply this year also depends on the money supply of last year, so we can also lag the Ms variable in the model. These are my quick thoughts though.

d@s a great topic! info frm ur topic cn b used for SME policy formulation...that's if our policy makers are sincere at all...what are your objectives!?

To critically evaluate the impact of street trading activities as it affects the standard of living among youths practicing the act in Benin City.

Also to examine the factors that influences higher income generation among youth street traders in Benin City.

It's a well known fact that most people go into street trading activities ( which is currently the largest sub-sector of the informal sector) mainly for income generation. But the topic which is a first of its kind in Benin City, provides policy makers with step-by-step technical know how on how to manage the informal sector ( taking street trading as our target value) along side the formal sector efficiently which would rapidly boost the much more talked about economic growth. We are all part of the BIG economy, be it formal or informal. So instead of "isolating" the informal sector and growing the economy at a slow pace, why don't we in-corporate the informal sector to the bigger picture and race to economic growth and development.

oh chi-square? What's yur project topic!!!

Street trading and income generation among youths in Benin city. I'm just using chi-square to analyze my questionniare before running the regression. Chapter four, almost done.

How is the concept of the PARETO EFFICIENCY represented in the EDGEWORTH-BOWLEY BOX DIAGRAM? And how does the concept of PARETO EFFICIENCY apply to a country like Nigeria with high socio-economic inequalities?

Are you sure BSc is your highest degree in economics? Just saying though, you are indeed correct. But on a platform like this I would advice you to employ simplicity in delivering your answers.

Econometrics! What's ur say on that? # Holla!

efficiencie:
sadly a bachelor's degree...

*Haha* U call BSc sadly? My friend stop the "humility" jare, BSc na him con hard pass d MSc's and Phd's. Its all good though, I'm fully subscribed to your thread.

Getting my hands stained with some chi-square goodness of fit for my project. Economics all the way.

Hello! Would be fully functional in few weeks time. I hope you guys are kicking?

Impressive thread I must say, I hope fellow economists subscribe, so Mr OP what is your highest qualification if I may ask. # No disrespect.

veritas312:
I like the way you articulated your points...but I beg to disagree with a premise you used...the example of a man depending on the income generated by his kids. That sounds appalling, it is the duty of the parent to provide for the kids and not the other way around. Why must the innocent kids be made to pay for their parent's wrong choices? Why have children when you can't even take care of your own self?

As appalling as it may sound, these are real life issues. This is what is on ground, where an okada man would give birth to five children and still depend on one okada to cater for the family. So what do you expect? I have taken a survey, and truth is some situations are really porous, others are fair while only a few are good.

JustCurious:
It would have been okay to let the children trade freely on the streets IF there are no high risks involved, especially for those who run after moving vehicles on expressway. It's damn too risky. And, that was why I shared the link above..www.rsnnigeria..com/2014/11/boys-on-street_8.html?m=1

Do you know how many of them get knocked down on expressways on daily basis? Maybe you should do some research work on that, too.

It's quite okay if children trade on less busy road, and not expressways. This is a NO-NO for me. Kindly read up the short reflection on that link, pls. Thanks.

Again it boils down to a collective decision between the Government, relevant agencies and the community which would comprise of the parents. Believe me you can't tell a man who depends on his 2 children's income from street trading to take his children OFF THE STREET. I understand your point of view, but no manner of compulsory Govt. Strict law would take these kids off the street. They have tried to forcefully take them off the streets and they have successfully FAILED.

MY TAKE: provide a Market structure ( like a relief market ) to accommodate these kids, you can't just STOP their trade and expect them to go home empty handed. Ask yourself this question, "if not for the Informal sector what would have been the fate of most Nigerians?" As it stands today, the Informal sector is the largest employer about 55% of labor in Nigeria.

So still airing my views in favour of street trading, I believe in order to reduce its advantages certain step-by-step measures needs to be introduced and not just giving the go ahead to STOP street trading activities.
