Nigeria and Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote has lost N141 billion the equivalent of $700 million following intense pressure of global markets as a result of ripples from the Chinese economic crisis. Dangote joins a long list of billionaires whose fortunes have tumbled over the past few days. The president of Dangote group lost $708.6 million (N140 billion) as Chinese stocks sank lower after a rout on August 24 that the official state news agency, Xinhua, dubbed ‘Black Monday.’ According to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index, Dangote gained$79.2m (N15.6bn) from Thursday to Friday last week, only to lose the same amount about nine times over. The 58-year-old was just one of 197 billionaires who lost billions of dollars in 24 hours, with only three of the world’s top 200 billionaires making gain on ‘Black Monday.’ Wang Jianlin, Asia’s richest man, and Bill Gates, the world’s richest man, lost $3.6 billion and $3.2 billion respectively as the worst-hit billionaires on Monday. Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder, lost $1.7 billion , placing him behind Warren Buffet , world number three billionaire, who lost $2 billion. The only three gainers were Alwaleed al-Saud, a Saudi business magnate; Tadashi Yanai, founder of Japanese Fast Retailing; and Petr Kellner, a Czech businessman. They gained $169 million, $105.5 million and and 87.3 million respectively.

The popular shoe plaza in aba popularly know as bakassi is a very big industrial market which provides shoes,sandals etc for people in cheap and affordable prices. Their shoes gets transported to as far as Ghana,Togo,Gabon etc
Its a pity that a market that generates so much in revenue to the State is left to wallow in ruins by the government. A look at the state of its road will tell you more.

SUFFERING and SMILING

kwinrachdiadem:

philips70:

Meanwhile we have seen and heard all these directives on the police formation too many times. Wake me up in 1yr time to see the level of compliance. As I type this, there are various heavily armed mobile policemen guarding the homes of some so called big men in my neighborhood. The police as an institution in Nigeria needs more than this cameo-like actions to restore it back to what it should be. Just go to common Ghana and see how force and paramilitary men are properly kitted and you will instantly be hungry to join one of them.

what do you expect from Common Nigeria

Emabinu is a yoruba language that means please dont be angry.

wow.. okay, I have got a new term #Emabinu In my language, Asante twi, I will say "mepawoky3w mma wobo mmfu".. Yours look too short to mean that long statement to me tho...

TheAdvocate:
That's Ghanaian numbers on it not Nigerian.

Maybe a Nigerian is running the hospital. . Afterall your people always say u run Ghana's economy

pearl360:
Looks like Ghana to me.
Because of the phone numbers... The numbers are Ghana numbers, and the language too, twi I think.

it's not twi...
maybe Ga or krobo

Toks2008:
ooops!

Sorry if that got into you and i presume you are from outside Nigeria.

Trust me man i was only making an innocent comment about Nigeria been blessed with diversity of facial looks unlike other countries whose nationality have a form of homogeneity in facial looks so please foregive me if that sounded offensive.

My writing that Nigeria is blessed does not mean other citizens of countries with a look alike face are cursed biko. Emabinu.

That's better. ..lolx
The fact is there is diversity of facial looks everywhere you may find yourself on this planet.
This is not just about 9ja only.
The level/degree of diversity is what I can't talk about Though.
Shalom
# what is Emabinu

Toks2008:


Falsehood about other countries in what sense please?

I wonder why you seconded a baseless argument of a lady pics looking Nigerian or not and i don't know how many ladies in Nigeria you have ever come across to decipher how a Nigerian lady should look. So until i put a vividly black woman before i wil pass the message or is it that the kitchen is too sophisticated to be seen in Nigeria? Gosh!

Go to Rivers state and see diversity in looks then go to the east and you will marvel so please lets talk about something more meaningful abeg.

Hey man, I didnt get time to read your post ok?
And I am not supporting any one, the fact is I don't know what the B££F is all about..
If it is not falsehood, then TELL ME!!
What shows that women from Ghana, Benin rep and Togo have peculiar looks unlike the Nigerian counterparts and to add, "Because of this Nigeria is blessed
WHO IS CURSED?
Mtcheeeeeeew

eddeaux:
Nope! That's not what an average Nigerian woman looks like. Even in an all white country,there are still black and mixed women,but do you think that a black woman would be used as the face of that country in an article? you are propagating self hate.
While it is good to be open minded and tolerant of all,what you did was subliminal racism.You are subconsciously asking an average Nigerian woman to bleach and look like that woman.And you are asking Nigerian men to only find a woman like her attractive.The pic itself does not reflect the reality of your audience.So why not change the "Nigerian" to Venezuela" or something like that

Don't mind him....I am sure he doesn't know the falsehood he's distributing about other countries to make His seem better'!

Those directing/controlling the cattle, aren't they ashamed to be doing this in a city like Abuja..
hmmmmmmmm

kwinrachdiadem:
if your black or dark and you don't have spots or discolouration then move along. But those who are light natural suffer a lot from the sun and have uneven skin tone most times.so cus we are Africans we should walk around multicoloured? Go and google the definition of bleaching!

sorry ooo.
I concluded based on what I saw in the picture cos I didn't read the post.
lolz

Are you promoting bleaching? Anyway, BLACK is beauty

ignore the phucktard. He recently had a brain surgery and the surgeon put a donkey's brain in his head. Sh-t happens

lol

iamrealdeji:
D'banj just sang that for Igbos cos he feels he's been singing too much in Yoruba and I can bet it with you that he can't speak Igbo,every musician does that,even Barrister also sang in Hausa.
But all these Don Jazzys,P square,Ruggedman etc can speak yoruba even better than some yorubas.
I don't know any yoruba that can speak Igbo,but almost all Igbos I know can speak yoruba. Its because Igbos see yorubas as very important people,but yorubas just see them as one of those tribes in Nigeria. Yorubas are like America,Igbos are like Ghana,every Ghanian wants to go to America and want to be Americans but Americans don't even care about Ghana and don't even want to know anything about Ghana

how old are you
smh

shizzy7:
Okay, Yes, *on the other thread ~~~~~**

hehehe..... I can see the Hatchet has long been burried How is your day going?

shizzy7:
Oh, I had to check Google, I didn't know azonto ghost is a song.. The only azonto I know is that of Fuse ODG and WizKid... na wa oo you really like him...

Azontoghost is actually a local movie (kumawood) and he made a sound track for that movie.
Shizzy7, I once had a beef with you right?
lolx

shizzy7:
Wow, thanks I have been searching for this song for like 3yrs, I just downloaded the mp3 and Now its my best Ghanaian song. Why are they not as popular as the likes of sarkodie and azonto?

you are welcome sweedy.
well, the duo Group (BISA) is no more...
But one of the Chaps is still a Hit in Ghana after going for a sole career and He's nobody other than Bisa K-dei who I do credit for inventing my moniker(Azontoghost)

shizzy7:
I have watched all of the movies you listed except 'I sing of a well'.... Some Ghanaians say Nollywood is all about quantity, then that means Your Top actress(ors) are also for quantity because golly/nolly movies are integrated.... That's why I didn't include "House of Gold" in my list.... So I guess we are Cool here BUT I am still waiting for Jiggamangh's proof.

My Best Ghanaian movie is "THE GAME" and I am still searching for one of the soundtrack

'If I had wings to fly I'll fly away
i'll go faraway to look for you... Faraway ay ay'
Then the rap.... Is it a full song??
My best Ghanaian actress is Martha Ankomah and the woman on the thread is just moving her ministry forward...

Love letter by BISA
