if anyone was expecting customer to make a come back without a cowardly excuse, that person dey gullible. and who else was suppose to believe him if not the epic nairaland award winning liar of this time. customer is a sissy and should be wearing skirts. master-coward-extraordinaire.

thanks bobo65 . I will try that. but I jus thought to add that each picture is just 1mb which is still less than the 4mb naira land requirement. hope it doesn't matter. God bless

Good evening engineers. I find it difficult to upload pictures taken by my samsung s5 camera up on nairaland. Yes they are jpeg files but i always get error message on NL. What could be the issue. Thanks in advance

nairaland accepts jpeg kind of files for upload but I cannot upload pictures taken with my camera on here. I can only do so with pictures I received from other peoples phone. please phone gurus help. I always get an error message on naira land. thanks in advance.

while customer takes on the title as nl master-cowardly-extraordinaire, and shino deludes himself and kins with his lies, I hope alaigoites can focus on making South East as serene as Ibadan. we know Lagos is a generational assignment

Okijajuju1: O!! There is everything funny about an Ibadan doctor comparing Dengue Fever transmitted by Mosquitoes to Ebola.


So.. Dont worry, you can take your Ibadan Ebola cases to that hospital for treatment.

Are your eyes blind to the word "manage"? The CMD stated they have the facilities and human capacity to manage, not cure, the disease. It implies they can take care of patients with less cases of infection of medical workers and casuality rate. So whats the hysteria all about bro?

The management of the University Teaching
Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Oyo State, has disclosed
that it has experience in the management of the
deadly Ebola virus.
This is coming on the heels of a request by the
Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chuckwu, to
the United States’ Centre for Disease Control
(CDC) to send the experimental drug ‘Zmapp’
administered to the two American doctors who
contacted the virus to Nigeria.
The Chief Medical Director (CMD) of UCH, Prof
Temitope Alonge, stated this in Lagos yesterday
at a media parley facilitated by the
Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN).
“We have been proactive as far back as 2012 by
setting up VHF isolation precautions as well as
standard precautions, which enabled us to
manage Dengue fever and other outbreaks back
then. It was later confirmed that no further
transmission of the virus was documented,
indicating that although Dengue is highly
infectious, the use of these measures is effective
in preventing the spread of disease and other
viral hemorrhagic fevers, such as Ebola,” he
said.
Alonge explained that Ebola virus belongs to a
group of viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs), which
refer to a group of illnesses caused by several
distinct families of viruses.
He said: “In general, the term ‘viral hemorrhagic
fever’ is used to describe a severe multisystem
syndrome (multisystem in that multiple organ
systems in the body that is affected).
Characteristically, the overall vascular system is
damaged and the body’s ability to regulate itself
is impaired.
“These symptoms are often accompanied by
haemorrhage (bleeding), diarrhoea among others,
however, the bleeding is rarely life-threatening.
While some types of hemorrhagic fever viruses
can cause relatively mild illnesses, many of these
viruses cause severe and life-threatening
disease.”
The CMD said his hospital had the human
capacity and facility to detect and manage the
Ebola virus because “it has experience in dealing
with the virus in the past.”
He said the major challenge now facing his
hospital was how to cremate bodies of Ebola
virus deceased, should there be need in his
hospital, but “we have contacted the India
communities and other experts in that field, and
they are ready to collaborate with us should the
need arise.
“We have also printed out pamphlets in English,
Yoruba and Hausa languages on what Ebola
virus is, mode of its transmission and preventive
measures. We have enough Personal Protective
Garments (PPG) for the workforce, therefore UCH
is ready and prepared for the virus. It will be
irresponsible of anybody to say we do not have
the capacity in terms of laboratory to diagnose
Ebola virus.”

Atlwireles AkinEgba I am tempted to doubt the 160 milla population thing too. When you visit many cities, only Lagos makes those numbers believeable. 2016 will probably be more revealing.

atlwireles: Why are you confusing facts here, the analysis clearly states Lagos with 15M people has GDP of $68B and Nigerdelta/SE cluster has 64B with about 9M people. Now where is there a larger economic activity per capital?

Sorry I did not refer to a "larger economic per capita". Instead I refered to an "overall" economic consumption.

Akinegba Your Nigeria-Bostwana analogy is very reasonable. More Populations in Lagos and Ibadan with less productive people [b] by percentage [b/] than in Portharcourt and Aba. But if you count in absolute numerics, you will still find more productive people in say Nigeria than Bostwana. Same for the cities. I like the analysis cause it points at the promises of each region. When I remove the veil of politics, and consider the overall economy, I don't want Nigeria to break.

From the analysis, Aba and Portharcourt have greater per capita consumptions than Lagos and Ibadan and thus higher average levels of living. However, for starters, when you multiply the per capita of the cities by their respective populations, there is then a bigger overall economy in Lagos and Ibadan than in Ph and Aba respectively. Simple arithmetic that should be devoid of tribal rants.

Port Harcourt

Nigeria’s retail and wholesale trade industry has the
potential to grow by 7.1% per year, and by 2030
could be the largest contributor to the country’s
GDP, according to recent report by McKinsey Global
Institute. Sales of packaged food and beverages are
expected to grow by 6.8% a year, contributing
around 85% of the growth in consumer goods.
The report, Nigeria’s renewal: Delivering inclusive
growth in Africa’s largest economy, estimates that
demand for consumer goods could more than triple
by 2030. The largest economy in Africa is seeing a
rising consumer class, creating a notable opportunity
for manufacturers and retailers of fast-moving
consumer goods such as food, beverages and
personal and health products. Currently consumption
is estimated at US$388bn a year but is expected to
rise to $1.4tr in 2030, with 35m households earning
over $7,500 a year.
“Based on data from other economies on how
consumption changes with rising incomes, we see
demand in Nigeria poised to accelerate in such
categories as fruit juices,” illustrates the report.
“Capturing emerging consumer demand, however,
will require smart choices about where, when, and
how to enter Nigerian markets. It will also require
specific capabilities that international companies
especially may need to develop.”
One strategy for consumer facing companies in
Nigeria is to adopt a city and regional approach, as
opposed to a nationwide approach where distinct
differences in culture, demographics and wealth
exist. While Lagos, with an estimate of 15m
residents, may be the go-to city for companies
targeting consumers, McKinsey suggests three
regional clusters of cities that together produce
sizable populations to rival Lagos.
“Companies playing in all three of these clusters
could target 20% more households earning above
$7,500 than in Lagos,” notes the research.
A six city cluster around the Niger Delta in the
southeast
Port Harcourt, Warri, Benin City, Aba, Enugu and
Onitsha make up the six city southeast cluster. Its
proximity to oil wells has led the region to be a hub
of activity for oil companies and foreign investment .
According to the report, total GDP in this cluster
alone is $63bn, which is a close rival to Lagos’s
GDP of $68bn, despite having far fewer households.
Both Port Harcourt and Aba have considerably
higher consumption per capita than Lagos. Port
Harcourt, followed by Benin City, Onitsha and Aba
have the largest populations within the cluster.
Companies looking to target the luxury segment
might want to especially consider Port Harcourt, the
capital of Rivers State, which has the highest
consumption per capita in the country ($6,843 in
2013). The city has one of the largest consuming
middle classes in Nigeria with household incomes
between $20,000 and $70,000 a year. It has access
to two of the country’s busier ports and is home to
the Port Harcourt Airport.
Ibadan, Ogbomosho and Ilorin, just north of Lagos
These three cities are within close proximity to
Lagos. Ibadan (the capital of Oyo State) is the
second largest city after Lagos, and has a fast-
growing consumer market. While Lagos has over
four times the number of households as Ibadan,
consumption per capita of Ibadan in 2013 was
$4,562, rivalling Lagos’s $4,710. Ibadan also has a
large emerging consumer class with annual
household incomes of between $7,500 and $20,000,
and one of the larger consuming middle classes in
the country with incomes between $20,000 and
$70,000 a year.
According to a recent African Development Bank
(AfDB) report, Tracking Africa’s Progress in Figures,
Ibadan is one of the top 10 fastest growing cities in
Africa.
Northern corridor cluster of Kano, Zaria and Kaduna
This cluster holds potential for consumer businesses
looking for sizable populations in northern Nigeria.
Kano is the fourth largest city in Nigeria, and
Kaduna the seventh biggest.
This year, South African retailer Shoprite launched
its first outlet in Kano, while Massmart opened a
Game store just before June. Despite the potential
security risk posed by Islamic militants in the region,
Massmart’s Africa director Mark Turner said at the
Reuters Africa Summit in April: “I always want to be
bold enough to say, you can’t be in Nigeria without
being in Kano.”
