Jack Ma, China’s richest man and CEO of Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group is ready and willing to visit Nigeria. Aliababa which recently issued an IPO that raised a record US$25 billion in what is widely considered to be the largest IPO in history. Ma’s personal net worth jumped to US$25 billion from US$21.8 billion after the NYSE IPO valued Alibaba at US$231 billion.

Ma made the comments while speaking on a panel with Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and the Coordinating Minister for the Economy Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Chelsea Clinton, the CEO of General Motors Mary Barra, and the president of the Ford Foundation Darren Walker at the Clinton Global Initiative.

After Dr. Okonjo-Iweala asked him for advice on how to get Nigeria’s young and Internet savvy generation the help they need to make an impact in the country, Ma responded “I’m so excited by Nigeria, so many young people using mobile.” He stated that increasing interest of young people across the world in mobile technologies will be the source of great change.

Ma also advocated a shift from what he called IT technology to DT or Data technology. Ma said, “IT Technology is for me myself. I can manage my company better. DT Technology which I call data technology is to make other people better. The future is making other people better, then you can be successful.”

Ma stressed that Nigeria should help young people improve access to mobile technology and increase their access to information and new experiences through the internet.

“I’m so excited. I will go to Nigeria soon,” Ma said.

The manner and attitude of children nowadays to demean, insult and resort to name calling the President. The next generations will also insult, maligh, demean and insult all of u IJN. Amen

Y r u arguing blindly , the paper mentioned shilka gun and not the model. Meanwhile a gun cud be modernised to face todays security challenges

Krak: You call Shilka gun modern? You should go and update yourself.

It is high time u accept Jesus Christ as ur Lord and personal saviour who will destroy every attack of the devil in ur life.
Bible says" ur body is the temple of God where the Holy Spirit dwells"
U don't own that body, it was given to u. Bible also says " if the body is exposed to sin, the serpent will bite"
Thank God u know Jesus Christ can save u, He loves u so much.

padeolu: I had a nightmare last night.. it was so different from my previous ones... Its more of an alien visitation or witch/demon attack...Thank God I overcame the encounter with just minor stings

Last night before I slept, there was no light in my area and I knew the possibility of Phcn restoring power was slim and it was so hot that I had to sleep naked (well, almost naked coz I had my pant on). My room sliding window/louvers were opened, so also is the door to my room and my room's restroom and its small window.

I thought of mosquitoes coming in to make the night a horrible one, but the thought cleared off upon realizing I'd be swimming in my sweat till dawn, and who knows, sleep may not come. I madeup my mind to live with the mosquitoes bites, moreso am used to it. I removed my mosquitoe net coz every little breeze that touches my body counts.

At around 1:20am, I fell asleep, it was a deep sleep, I guess I enjoyed the first part of the sleep before alien came to attack. I had a dream, I saw myself in my restroom masturbating as I used to, with my phone on my hand playing a porn video from **censored** (am sure dem G's know that site). While at it, I heard a knock on my door, I quickly rushed my masttting process to make d deal come out, I was wrong, instead of releasing, my dick cut into my hands.. I was so scared that I woke up in the process. I prayed and slept again.

The second phase is where it all happened, I guess this happened around 3am or so. Am not so sure of the time coz their wasn't light and I hate leaving my bed at midnights. Ok, during the second phase of the sleep, I guess I wasn't deep asleep this time around when I noticed a big hand all over my body, pressing me to bed, I couldn't shout, I was so helpless, words weren't coming out of my mouth, I made several attempts to scream, maybe my parents or siblings would hear... But no, I was voiceless. It was so dark that I couldn't see the face of the alien/witch pressing me to the bed. Then I remembered my pastors preaching (I hardly go to church tho) where he sometimes said "when in the day of adversity and trouble.....*or something like that*. So Psalm 91 came to my mind, I couldn't scream it out, coz I was voiceless, so resited the psalm several times, then I noticed instead of being pressed to the bed, I started noticing some sort of bee or needle-like sting all over my body, it was so painful that I started weeping, still voiceless, but tears were rolling down my face. I was very scared and suddenly I was able to talk, instead of calling for help, I SCREAMED BLOOD OF JESUS. From their I noticed the hands stop pressing me to the bed, and the needle-like object stopped pinching me, even though the pain was much.

So, I swiftly took a land lying next to me on bed just to see the face of the big hand pressing me to the bed. Upon switching the lamp on, I saw nothing, so I turned my body to face the other side of the wall, lo and behold, I saw a shadow running on the wall, I guess it was finding its way out, the shadow has a big head, with a very long hand, but short legs. Upon seeing that, I was so scared, I started shivering, and then covered myself with my duvet. After few minutes, some courage came, I stoodup from my bed, holding the lamp on one hand and my bible on the other hand. But it was too late the demon/alien/witch is gone.

My fellow NL'ers, help me thank the Lord, I overcame the horrific mare. I guess I've learnt my lessons. I took too much hot legend (dark ale) before I went to bed and I forgot to make myself holy by licking anointing oil. Any ways, thank you all for reading. Good morning to you all


PS...No insults

What govt and NNPC need to do is campaign to enlighten the citizens on the benefits of using gas to cook. Is it not shameful for Ghana and Senegal to consume cooking gas more than Nigeria. Taxis in Ghana are using gas to drive but oh dear, the old men (Taxi Drivers) won't touch it with a long pole.
Nigeria needs more LPG Refilling plants, we need more depots, we need more resellers of cooking gas.
We have about 175 plants, wwhich is not enough, atleast 300-350 filling plants will be better,over 200 resellers r needed to make gas readily available.
These filling plants have to devote their time for cooking gas only and not to be distracted with petrodollars like Oando and Conoil. They have to be solely cooking gas business coming up with strategies to making consumers to buy gas in their convenient and safe manner.

I pray that God in His infinite mercies will forgive u for ur blasphemy and show u a bit of His way for u to know that there is God.
May what happened to Saul happen to u, may all u put ur hand on suffer a bit for u to recognise ur source IJN. Amen.

UrbanMystique: yeah typical christians..

jesus watched him suffer and almost shit his bony ass to death, science came to the rescue, he gave thanks to jesus. smh

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you assure me that it will not scratch my car?

The product cannot scratch. When the product is sprayed onto the bodywork, it lifts dust and grit particles down to a size smaller than visible to the human eye, each particle is enveloped in polish. When dry, you wipe the car, every dust particle is forced onto the cleaning cloth and your wiping action puts polish, and only polish onto the bodywork

Can I only use it on my Car?

Applications where fresh water is at a premium, such as onboard a yacht, or at a caravan park, will be ideally served by our system. As will motorcycles (motor bikes), the compound will NOT sit in trapped recesses, and turn highly polished engine casings and their various nuts and bolts rusty..

Can it be used on alloys?
Yes. Our system is non-acidic, so even if you miss wiping off a bit of consumable there is no damage to the alloys.

Can I use it safely on my caravan's acrylic/Perspex windows?

Yes, it can safely be used on acrylic/Perspex windows.

What effect will it have on the windscreen?

The system cleans windows brilliantly.

How many washes can I get from a litre?

Car washes per litre - 10 on average sized vehicle. You will tend to use too much first time, which is just human nature. After you see the results you will use less next time, and it will prove very economical.

Will it damage the paint work?

Our product washes AND polishes every time you use it. Lets be honest, few of us polishes the car after every wash. But with our system you do every time you wash your car. The traditional bucket, sponge, and hosepipe will leave salt residues (from the washing liquid and minerals in the water) on the bodywork, whereas our system leaves a layer of protective polish, protecting the paintwork, not damaging it with salt and other additives.

My cars have wax polish on them. What effect does the product have on existing waxed surfaces?

Can be waxed over without any effect. This is what the professional valeters who use our product do. Our system is not a T cut so it does not cut and remove paint. It lifts of the dirt and polishes the surface off the car.

Does wax work effectively on top of your finish?

Yes, but not required. Our system leaves the surface polished. When you have finished, just pour some water over the bonnet afterwards and witness the droplets of water held by the polished surface.

How does it protect compared to wax?
The very best quality polishes/waxes will typically last an average of 8 days if the vehicle is used regularly, whereas the polish in our system will last an average of 20 days. However, you apply polish every time you wash with our system, as our cleaning product has a built-in polish. Everytime your vehicle is washed with our system, it is automatically polished.

What effect does it have on the environment compared to a traditional bucket and sponge?

This is when our system comes into its own. Simply, there is no wastage of water. No water is washed down the drains. When washing in the conventional way with soap there are surfactants in the soaps which are washed into the storm drainage system. Storm drain water is not cleaned in sewage plants it is fed into rivers, where they could cause damage to plants and river life.

Can I wash the cleaning cloths and use them again?
Yes - There is no waste with our system. Simply wash the cloths at up to 40°C. They come out looking brand new.

How do I get in the nooks and crannies?

We suggest that you spray our system on the cloth and rub the cloth on the part you wish to wash and polish.

Can it be used on glassfibre (GRP) bodywork?

Yes, it can be used on painted GRP.

A Waterless Car Wash sub-franchise is available outside Lagos. The system does not require a car wash bay, does not require borehole, no bucket, no generator to operate the system. It uses eco-friendly and biodegradable consummables.
The sub-franchise agreement will cover supplies of materials for 1 year,tshirts etc. If you have locations suitable for this type of business like 5 star hotel car parks,shopping mall car parks etc do contact me on 08162219128 or thompson@grandtopinternational.com.ng

@STY, u write as if u think with ur butts, do u think everybody in this forum especially those that are reading this knows about RegCharles like u or knows somebody that works there.
I gave an example of a company that is in the ebook and he raise ur ugly head and claim " too know"
Earlier on u called us criminals and I came up with a name, u diverted to something else, nonsense

Those that bent on tarnishing someone else's image will also be tarnished(hold there I didn't curse or swear for anybody) its a law of karma.
If I am Dreamtouch or if I am lying with what I wrote here let Heavens judge me negatively or if somebody who has criminal tendencies in his/her bone marrow accusing me of what is not, let the fire from Heaven come down and judge them. Amen.
For me to prove to the silly individuals here, go to the internet and search for RegCharles in Lekki phase 1. This is where I am getting my $3m for my refilling plant business(Dreamtouch sorry I have to do this) to show them u r genuine and what I am been saying is also correct.
If you know that ur business idea will not be able to pay back the loan do not go there else you are wasting ur time and also if u r not open to equity arrangement since u don't hv a collateral, do not go. Light now

styveke: @Dreamtouch. How much will U generate from the sale of ur ebook compared to what U'll make if U actually put the information U r selling to use for uself?
Sombody got a loan of $3million from ur info(as unreal as it sounds)and U are here selling ebooks...U forbid to start a multi-million dollar biznez?
I'm very sure U didnt tryout ur link bcus if U did U wnt be selling ebooks in the name of "building a brand".
#ShineUrEyes

STY, I will not come here to state a figure that is genuine. The amount might look big but its for business, we applied through equity loan arrangement where the finance company will get 51% of our company's share pending when we finish paying for the loan. Meanwhile the coy won't partake in profit sharing but will be there to protect their principal and monthly interest. We are using the funds to build an LPG filling plant in Lagos, so calm down and learn from us. Anybody that doubt me should keep an eye on this page for I will continue to give update as we progress.

Nne, u asked for where to get a loan and Dreamtouch has got information which he wants to sell in form of ebook for u and if I ask u if u hv gotten the laon, the response will be NO but u r sitting there typing rubbish that I am Dreamtouch, dey dia n continue to accuse somebody of what u know not. I hv given u my mobile number n come to Victoria Island n meet me. Dreamtouch lives and operate from Abuja, I only recommend the guys ebook and enough of this rubbish accusation, if u like go hit ur head on the wall or drink OMO or go embrace a transformer cos I hv gotten my loan on equity arrangement

Mr Man, please have time to follow me on this, I am defending a young man's business and you are here saying what is not. The name of my company is GRANDTOP INTERNATIONAL LIMITED and the source inside the ebook is where we are getting funds($3m) to build a cooking gas filling plant.
I claim what I know is right and not for you to try to use PHD to destroy someone business. If you or Nne do not want the ebook, just say u don't want and don't gimme the crap that Dreamtouch and I are the same. Call me on 08162219128 and let me teach u business

Why r people with evil and stupid mind always jumping to silly conclusion concerning one else's business. If Nne is not interested in buying the ebook offered by Dreamtouch, it should be a case of saying or concluding that its fraudulent.
This is the height of childish conclusion I have come across in my life time. I have never met or known Dreamtouch but was skeptical at the beginning but when the book finally came, I got in contact with one of the companies on the book and I am treating well, went for the project presentation, we have concluded for the financing to $3 million.
Na beg I take beg una, nor spoil pesin business so that another pesin nor go destroy ur own

Dreamtouch has genuine sources for loan but like he said, ur business must be profitable. He sent the list to me and I contacted one of them, we went for a presentation and mehn the company is eager to partner with us to finance the project. So try and believe Dreamtouch, I in d recent past paid money for sources of loan without getting a head way but Dreamtouch surprised me. I am owing him a lot and will appreciate him in due course, God bless you nwokem

Most people don't know how to cook, I use both and they are okay. U don't use 2 cubes of star in a small soup or whtever u r cooking and expect it not to be salty. If u want to know how to cook consult me and not coming here to shout maggi is salty or knorr is the nest

Your experience is vague, u hv experience in what and what and are ur qualifications

Lemme explain further, if your CV was like this:
XYZ Limited -2001-2005
Account Officer
Metco Limited-2005-2008
Accountant
Zynde Nig Ltd-2008-2010

Responsibilities
(List them out)
XYZ Limited -2001-2005
Account Officer
Responsibilities
(List them out clearly)
With this and other professional qualifications, you will have lots of invites for interviews

The problem with our graduate today is an organisation advertised a job with their email address and the next thing you see in ur inbox box is a forwarded CV showing the traces of other places they hv sent their CV to and there is nothing like cover letter. It is lackadaisical and unprofessional, I do not invite such people to interview, that said.
Another challenge is not knowing how to write a professional CV: TIP: Let your current job and responsibilities be spelt out( that is listing out the job responsibilities one by one) then fix the jobs you left before this one with same format e.g
Account Sales Manager. XYZ Limited 2012 till date
Responsibilities:
- Maintaining old customers

Excuse me guys, this kind of a loan does not involve CASH but a sovereign guarantee from the Federal Ministry of Finance. These loans are converted to materials needed for the infrastructure development and equipment and machinery.
No government official will see any CASH let alone corrupting themselves with it. Go read stuffs about EXIM loan facility anywhere in the world, you won't find any cash.
I am an agent to an American consulting firm that uses US EXIM loan facility and if you require like a shopping mall or hotel to be built for you, the loan will be used to construct the place using prefabricated structure.
So it is for the good of the country and her citizens

Upsohigh: The question that actually querry my mind is that when do we say food,drinks,drugs etc are expired in nigeria bearing in mind that the manufactural never forget to put 'to be kept under cool condition' there series of handling from the manufactural to the end users,some of the times this products are sold exposed or displayed under the sun. Do we say the product expires on due date, some days after, some time before then. When will you stop using a product with a date on it has its expiring date. Or when do we say it is adviseable to stop using a product, i want your contribution pls

Its dangerous to take such food and that is y lots of people will go to shopping malls to buy their stuffs and for your information, if a product is slated to expire in Dec, it is advisable not to take such food 3 months to the expiry date
