Someone did something less than what Sowore did in the USA and he was denied bail and locked up for 5 years.

Now these fools want Sowore released and are protesting in a country that equally would not tolerate such or even anything less than this.

All the protesters are lunatics

lmao grin grin grin

These ones are simply clowns.

This is the law in USA regarding anyone who does what Sowore did.

Now compare the law in USA to what Sowore planned and see if these ones protesting in USA are normal or simply mad.

God bless Mr President, Major General, Dictator Muhammadu Buhari for his consistency and focus to ensure he makes Nigeria great again.

Politics / Nigeria’s Total Foreign Trade Hits All-time Highest Since Q3 2018 by CaptainMeks: 9:43pm On Dec 13, 2019


The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) has released figures of foreign trade for Nigeria in the third quarter (Q3) of 2019.

According to new reports from the NBS, Nigeria’s total foreign trade increased in Q3 2019 in comparison with figures recorded in the second quarter of the year

In the figures revealed, Total Trade stood at N9.19trn, while Imports and Exports were N3.90trn and N5.29trn respectively. Trade balance was recorded to be N1.39trn. Total Trade for the quarter was N9.19trn according to the NBS.

Crude Oil exports in the quarter was N3.75trn while non crude oil export was N1.54trn. Non-oil exports for the quarter was N1.08trn.



Total Foreign Trade balance of N9.19trn was 6.77% more than the figure released in Q2 2019, and 1.33 % more than the figure released in the third quarter of 2018. The figure released in Q3 2019 is the highest since the third quarter of 2017.

Nigeria’s import fell to N3.90trn, a figure which was -2.70% quarter-on-quarter, and -7.47% year-on-year. It is Nigeria’s highest decline in import since Q2 2019.

There was a rise recorded in exports which stood at N5.29trn, the third rise recorded since the fourth quarter of 2018. The figure stood for a 15.02% rise QoQ and an 8.97% rise YoY.

Global economic giants, China and the U.S stood as Nigeria’s biggest import partners, with India, Netherlands and Belgium just coming below them.

India, Netherlands, Spain and the U.S came below Ghana on the list of Nigeria’s highest export partners.

The closure of the border may have yielded results statistically as there was less importation and more exportation in the quarter review with new highs recorded.

The total foreign trade balance is also a good impression of how well the country has fared with crude oil and non-crude oil exports having good progressions in value.

The facts are clear. Nigerians are exporting to Ghana, and earning good money. That money helps to feed your people back in your country and ease the hardship and poverty in that country. Is that too hard to understand and appreciate?[/s]

Politics / Nigeria Finally Unseats South Africa As The Most Valuable Brand In Africa by CaptainMeks: 9:20pm On Dec 13, 2019
For 9 years, South Africa has been blowing Nigeria – Africa’s largest economy – out of the water as the country with the most valuable brand in the continent. But things have changed as the West African country has taken over in 2019, per findings from the 2019 Nation Brands report by U.K-based Brand Finance.

The 2018 edition of the report valued South African brands at USD 207 Bn ahead of Nigeria’s USD 203 Bn. As S.A’s nation brand diminished by 7 percent the past year, that of Nigeria grew by 6 percent. Dwelling on the difference of just a few billion dollars, the report did warn that South Africa risked being Africa’s most valued brand following years of mismanagement.

David Haigh, CEO of Brand Finance, said while South Africa remained the gateway to Africa for close to a decade, it faced an uphill battle.

“As South Africa struggles to recover from the turmoil of the Zuma years, its nation brand is also in danger of being overtaken by Nigeria, making it one to watch for years ahead,” Haigh wrote in the foreword of the 2018 report.

Last year, South Africa was the world’s 49th most valuable national brand, while Nigeria was the 50th. This year, Nigeria leaps 10 places and comes six places before South Africa, securing the 40th place on the ranking. Africa’s former most valuable national brand now occupies the 47th place on the report.

Egypt, up from the 54th position in last year, now sits in 49th position, making it the third most valuable nation brand in Africa. As fourth in line Algeria sits at 56th, thought it occupied the 58th position in the previous report. Morocco and Kenya were ranked at 64th and 66th respectively.

On why S.A has been relegated by Nigeria, Jeremy Sampson, Managing Director of Brand Finance Africa, cited in an e-mail to WeeTracker, the results of corruption from the decade-long Zuma administration.

“The unraveling of the Guptas, the implications of corruption, the criminality, and looting of billions are only now coming to the surface. But some way to go for Eskom – pulling the whole country down due to the ineptness of government. It is so sad that when most emerging countries are growing at 5 percent, the RSA is consistently under 1 percent . The ANC does have a lot to answer for,” Jeremy explained.

Nigeria, not Africa- should be the centre of our foreign policy!

Very true because as it stands now, Nigeria stands as number 1 in Africa and the most attractive brand as a nation in Africa. We are poised right at the edge of immense greatness if we play our cards right and this is the time for very hard and selfish policies aimed at ensuring we cement our position at the top firmly

Nonsense statistics.
When land borders were open we were not their largest trading partner. Now after una close land borders they become this. Where are they passing? By air?

Sometimes it pays to just shut up if you do not understand or know how things are done or if you lacked previous data to compare with todays data in order to understand the OP.

The point is that trade with Ghana is now better formalised now that smuggling is drastically reduced and they must pass goods through the ports where statistics are easily accessed. It reveals that they have been feeding fat off Nigeria via State tolerated smuggling

Exactly! Formerly the export figures to Ghana stood at about 400 billion or so and now it has more than doubled which shows that data is now more precise and loop holes for smuggling are now plugged. Thus Ghana no longer has anywhere to follow now when it comes to smuggling our goods through the borders now to their country.

We dey see our money now.

What exactly is the"logic" you are struggling to formulate here?
That a free press in Iraq (of which there was NONE btw) caused Blair to lie to the British population in Britain to justify the Iraqi invasion? shocked

You are clearly confused and have lost the entire argument. We are talking about how the west employs the tactic of propaganda when they wish to go after a nation and how they can use people to push that propaganda and you suddenly came in with a confused mindset talking about something totally different and i simply reminded you how Tony Blair admitted they lied against iraq just to garner support over their raid.

Please do not come at me with this confusion of yours again

Your analysis is skewed to achieve a twisted and baseless outcomes. The fact that Nigeria has a population of 200 million and Ghana has a population of 30 million doesn’t necessarily give nigeria any economic advantage. Have you heard of purchasing power? It’s all about purchasing power, the ability to buy. When you have a population of 100 million very poor people, it doesn’t translate to a big market. Now, Ghana with its 30 million population is Nigeria’s biggest export market. But nigeria is not Ghana’s biggest export market. So how dies this balance out?

It means while Nigeria depends on money it makes from selling goods in Ghana, Ghana dies not depend on goods it exports to Nigeria. So who has the advantage here?


You are an ignorant child. Very ignorant and proud of your ignorance too.

Ghanas PER CAPITA is $1,407 even with 28m population
Nigeria PER CAPITA is $2,014 even with 198m population

Ghanas GDP is $42.79 billion
Nigerias GDP is $404.65 billion

On the list of world poorest countries Ghana is 85 positions behind USA
On the list of world poorest countries Nigeria is 26 positions behind USA

Do you not see that your country Ghana is poor and in economic shambles despite its low population?

If you think this is a fabrication, please read and shut up with this your nonsensical Ghana is better than Nigeria nonsense.

And oh this data is 2019 plus it was compiled using data from The International Monetary Fund,The United Nations and The World Bank

You are not a smart cookie at all. These figures shows how dependent Ghana is to Nigeria and not the other way around. You rely so heavily on products from Nigeria and this report shows it.

Are we the ones who bought from you or you are the ones who bought from us? Show us by way of comparison what we bought from you despite our huge population.

You are just a measly 28m yet rely so heavily on us yet you do not realize that this in essence shows that industrially and economically you are in shambles.
