Textbook response. Out of context.

So text book response is out if context..have you heard of the word ..referencing

Ignatio:
Let me ask you. Will you love to pay for a substandard product or service?

Nollywood offers no or little quality films. They have serious work to do to win the love people had for them back. Until they sit up the likes of Netflix will have major so in internet video streaming.

Don't use the music industry as comparison because the artists drop quality works that goes toe to toe with their foreign counterparts.

When the Taiwan and Chinese were producing initially we all called theirs substandard... Now where are they now

I will pay for substandard goods ...this will be a form of encouragement.. With time they will be better


But you Nigerians will love to reap where we didn't sow...we are been laughed at....if you travel outside Africa you will understand this

I am always ashamed with African mentality like this ....the same mentality of yours is why you will call Nigerian products igbo made



I will pay for the substandard good so as to encourage them


This is one thing some people are tired of been Nigeria ....its this attitude and with this attitude we can't develop....in 20 yrs time our economy will be run by foreigners and it will be a shame ...where as we will be happy collecting 10% tax and royalties...that's if they declare their profits


Then they will take the bulk of the money home ..making us slaves in our own countries ...Asians are doing that already


What a shame

dejilg:
Like I had mentioned earlier, when passing the whole Yoruba boys cheat as fun, let it remain fun....but passing it as a fact is just plain nonsense....u have again made an assumption based on blind reasoning, let me put it this way, that family of 10, of which u'd claim 9 with "kids" out of wedlock, what religion do they practice Christianity or Islam --- that leads me to "do a proper research" and see why its that way --- if ur so called 9 out of 10 is even tenable

That being said...how many igbos practice Islam Wudnt this account for the marriage structures u complain abt in the Yorubas instead of simply saying its their nature What abt the northern region of the Country and the people from there? Wud u say 10 out of 10 becos they have more polygamous families than the so called Yorubas

Learn to do research before u pass ur ignorant anger as "fact"!!!

1. We are talking about facts ...those are what people said
2. We are talking about infidelity ...which is sticking to a partner and Islam and culture ain't excuse . it is all about discipline
3. We are talking about Yoruba not hausa ..so put these in perspective
4. Do a research and check the families and know what I say..I live in Lagos and that is an observation
5. Why dont you check divorce statistics?


When you have done these empirical study ...you will come up with the conclusion that the observation of these people are right



Vox populi vox dei ..voice of the people voice of God


It is not a bashin..we have Muslims in UK and USA but they don't go on marrying 4 women


So its all about attitude and discipline

I don't see how the term globalization suits only Western multinationals. The term was coined as a guide for all nations participating in business. If it was designed for only western nations then foreign schools would not have let me enroll for an internatioal business degree, infact the very mention of globalization in africa would have been forbidden.

The truth is most of our indigenous companies can not compete on a global scale so they settle for a home market presence till they get pushed out of the market by leading international brands.

Don't blame the new competitor, blame the government for not supporting indigenous companies and blame those companies for remaining stale, even mediocre is most cases.

Globalization causes unemployment in industrialized countries because firms move their factories to places where they can get cheaper workers.
Globalization may lead to more environmental problems. A company may want to build factories in other countries because environmental laws are not as strict as they are at home. Poor countries in the Third World may have to cut down more trees so that they can sell wood to richer countries.
Globalization can lead to financial problems . In the 1970s and 80s countries like Mexico, Thailand, Indonesia or Brazil got a lot of money from investors who hoped they could build up new businesses there. These new companies often didn’t work, so they had to close down and investors pulled out their money.
Some of the poorest countries in the world, especially in Africa, may get even poorer. Their population is not as educated as in developed countries and they don’t have the new technology that we do.
Human, animal and plant diseases can spread more quickly through globalization.


Many experts say that we need a different kind of globalization in our world today. There must be ways to make sure that all countries profit from the good sides of globalization. We should help poorer countries by giving them better education and showing them how new technology works.


Thank me for this lecture

Advantages of Trade Protectionism

If a country is trying to grow strong in a new industry, tariffs will protect it from foreign competitors. This allows companies in the new industry time to learn how to produce the good efficiently, and develop their own competitive advantages.

Protectionism also temporarily creates jobs for domestic workers. As domestic companies are protected by tariffs, quotas or subsidies, they will hire locally. This will occur until other countries retaliate by erecting their own protectionism within that industry.

Gerrard59:
Yeah.... Like North Korea.

Have a patriotic weekend.

: Trade protectionism is used by countries when they think their industries are being damaged by unfair competition from foreign industries. It's a defensive measure, and is usually politically motivated. It can often work, in the short run. However, in the long run it usually does the opposite of its intentions. It can make the country, and the industries it is trying to protect, less competitive in international trade.

Gerrard59:
Yeah.... Like North Korea.

Have a patriotic weekend.

Same to you bro

TonyeBarcanista:
Not all Anioma is Igbo please. We can give them Oshimili(abi how them call am sef?)

What is wrong with this ijaw man...who are you to tell us who is igbo or not

You are getting nastier by the day

Can you pls respect yourself and stop meddling in igbo affairs ...you have been running around nairaland spreading hate and division for igbo yet they leave you

Don't you have a job to do

Ijaws are becoming redundant.. Oil prices is crashing so Nigerians ain't taking you guys seriously again

These sadist won't like this news from igbo land

lomprico:
I really wonder. Its inferiority complex, they always want to be identified or associate with anything the white man does just to feel accepted for reasons best known to them. Just like the facebook french flag saga and a dude that condemns his masquerade festival but celebrates halloween. Smh

That's the most annoying thing

They will condenm masquerade and yet go for Halloween
Then love mascot


I wonder why we are like this

What Netflix is doing iroko TV can do

And that home market should be protected untill they deveop the capacity to compete in global scale


That's called protectionism and that is what reasonable government do

charix:
Divide and conquer works every time. If Africans were united to begin with the Trans atlantic slave trade would not have occurred. We would've wholeheartedly fought the white man out of our shores.

Did you know before the joining and creation of this 'great' nation called Nigeria we were made up of different kingdoms few and far between? The whiteman used our differences to his advantage.

Not only that ..the white man has successfully brainwashed us

They came with the term globalization and they gullible Africans keyed into that

Gerrard59:
Globalisation didn't make us not being able to refine our crude oil. There's absolutely no political will to ensure petroleum refining in Nigeria, besides for refining to take place subsidy must go; which the current government when in the opposition was against.

Hitv got what it deserve. Instead of Shaibu to further invest his earnings into the firm and raise quality standards, he went on a partying spree, buying a Range Rover Sport and harassing viewing centers owners. He was not astute enough.

The same globalisation you're against is what has enabled Dangote to expand into other African countries, Glo to be in Ghana.
Stop supporting ineptitude in our companies because of patriotism.

To be honest ..I will not argue with you and I am not in that mood


What I always tell you is that stop jumping up because Netflix came ....sit back ask yourself this question ....how can Nigeria offer this services ....one thing is sure

No Nigerian firm will ammass and muster the resources to compete with Netflix ...so what do we have

With this your mentality ....very soon 90% of the economy will be in the hands of foreigners


I hate globalization
I love protectionism.. That's what reasonable country do




Have a blessed day

lomprico:
The only sensible post here. Nigerians are so fuçking fake.
Nwanne, uche gi di ya.

Sometimes I wonder the kind of brains the average Nigerian have


This is why we can't develop...we always cherish western things


Shame on us

Gerrard59:
We're in the era of globalization; companies have to be competitive and adaptable to change if they must survive. irokotv have been accused of cheating producers and directors.

Netflix didn't only come to Nigeria, it also came to 129 countries. Disruption and change is what most Nigerian firms need now. This is where management consulting and advisory services come to play.

BTW, Sony is Japanese, iPOD is American. Patriotism doesn't mean one should have to support/buy products and services that has less quality, that's blind patriotism. Nigerian companies must improve their services and products.

This is where u got it all wrong ....the west coined the term globalization so that the third world will be used as a dumping ground and make us not produce

Till tomorrow there is some level of protectionism and even USA don't allow their home firms to die ..that's is why iPad will tackle Samsung and that's why they didn't want Ford to die


The Chinese has learnt how to protect t their own firms and that is what it should be
But the black man will consume , consume and consumer then dance and have sex

No manner of production

It is the same stupid globalization màde us not to even refine our basic crude oil

It's the same globalization has made dstv to kill mytv even hitv


Reasonable countries protect twike

If you consider the pay not good ....pls bust quit



You are here complaining ..what value are you bringing


Most firms are not looking at that paper degree but what you can add

If she wants to bring friends then she will have to foot the bills


I am not stupid

Blackman is just stupid and the average Nigerian is daft

Netflix came into Nigeria we shall now shout kumbaya and hurray

Instead of us supporting our own irokotv and other digital content entertainment distribution we are here clapping for one oyibo firm ..the way you clapped for shoprite and dstv

They come here make all the money and take it back to their country we continue to be consumers and skabes to foreign establishment

Shame on us all

Why can't we just produce for yourselves at least


Sometime I feel so ashamed been a Nigeria


Now they pushed this to front page ...

This is how they killed hitv and mytv for dstv to gain


Cant we have our own entertainment distribution for ourselves and sell the rights and franchise to them

Sony and iPod has USA
Alibaba has China
India has their


But the stupid Nigerians will jump and leap for joy when the oyibo comes to colonise and call it investment

Tomorrow you will say no job..where as you have refused to support your own due to hate and tribalism



Fvck Netflix

Attorney general is blabbing while bubu is sipping kunu and drinking zobo

He doesn't respect judicial order


So we are in a long thing


Somebody that didn't bother to come for debate not presented his waec

Is it common attorney general he go respect



Leave trash for lawma finally

Dharey55:
Am a yoruba guy,smart and handsome all the igbo galz in my class wanna have me pls what should i do now ?

What you should do is get focused , read your books and come out with food grades ..then think of making money


Nobody brags about women

totit:
Shut upuuu

Who is the father of Geneviev daughter?

Was Ojukwu ibo heroe not born out of wedlock?

How many kids does Flavour has out of wedlock?

You ibo people just love to pretend and act as if you are perfect.

Oga ..I wonder why you are abusive after you turn and tell me that you guys are the most respectful


I said the preponderance is high in Yoruba

It is rare to see an igbo polygamist
It is rare to see igbo kids born our of wedlock
It is rare to see igbo women having different kids for different men

I am not saying it doesn't happen but it is very high in Yoruba land


Ok take a look at 10 Yoruba family you will see that 9 either have kids outside wedlock or have polygamist somewhere


Why not do the research ..been abusive won't help here

Let's face the truth


For those of you saying its a lie

Go to 10 Yoruba homes 8 out 10 homes will either have second wife or one concubine that had children outside the wedlock or some child born somewhere
If that isn't a mark of infidelity

Then what is it

All these people debating this

Look well in your families and know how many of your parents uncles that have two wives or had children by other women apart from their wives

If your done with come back

Truth is bitter

cyprex:
Prof. Sagay, it is wrong for you to make a hasty generalization and say 'Igbo's resurrect Biafra'.
You may say IPOB not Igbo's as majority of Igbo's are not part of this agitation.

Kindly correct yourself sir.

I am proudly Igbo and proudly Nigerian.

After reading that trash ...I wept for Nigerian education

How can somebody that calls himself prof be commiting fallacy of hasty generalization


I dey shame

I saw this coming ...hmmmm

YoruBanger:
Lol. For you mind. The SouthWest is about 3 times the size of the entire SE -- Oyo state alone is the size of Anambra, Abia, and Imo state combined. Ditto Ogun and Ondo. And even some of our cities are as big as your states in Landmass. We have cities that are centuries old and still standing for posterity. It's no secret that the SE is the smallest and therefore the most densely populated region in the country with serious population pressure challenges, which explains why you all have to migrate out of your enclaves in masses and need to rebuild your leveled buildings after the civil war. How big are 'developed' Aba, Owerri, and Enugu? The developed section of Enugu encompasses but a mere 2 local government out of 17, same applies to Imo state, where Owerri is the only 'developed' town. Aba is nothing to write home about. These 'developed' areas of the SE can't be any bigger than Ikeja in Lagos. #FACT. Ibadan city alone is as big if not bigger than some SE states. I have attached pix of Ohafia in Abia state with brown roofs that make Ibadan's look regal in comparison. Yinmu.

How many local government is in Ibadan and akure

Oga lets call a spade a spade ...east is far developed than west..it is obvious


The problem is that you guys don't travel ..you assume that all is well in your state

scholes0:
lol, does SE Have cities?
The only things in SE that come close to actual cities in SE are Onitsha, Enugu and maybe Aba....
The rest are Villages and towns..... Even Enugu was the idea of Oyinbo, while Onitsha grew into its current size given its vantage position at a headbridge.

Gave you been to Owerri and Awka lately ?

stzy:
am like dude are u saying ondo state and edo state shares no boundaries n hey have travelled 4rm Akure 2 Abj b4... Well I was talking about a route 4rm Akure 2 Abj n a town I found dat pinched my concciousness... And hey hav u crossed 9ja bridge b4 or east- west bridge 4rm south south... U spent ur whole life in red cities of d west dat lavished huge federal presence and have guts 2 compare it 2. Self sustained super eastern cities

Your correct you can bust out of akure to auchi which is in edo then hit lokoja


Your correct ..I know that route well

justbusy:
After AWO-OLE-OWO had stolen the money meant for the Igbos at the end of the war. But, rather advised the FG to give them 20 pounds each. Today, with just 20 pounds, we've been erecting mansions and skysrapers. Your states might be more developed. But, by who? Without the Igbos, Nigeria will be virtually nothing. Come to think of it: Yoruba+Hausa+Fulani+Kanuri. Imagine such a country! I've just killed myself with laughter!

I have come to believe it....during chtistmas and new year ..Lagos was a ghost town ...I stay in Lagos and I am telling u the fact


This has shown that Lagos is in the hands of foreigners

But we are all Nigeria

One Nigeria ....

40oz:
Very easy, Because they strive to be second or lower at anything (that's why I assume you're excluding Lagos and Ibadan u know… because no hope)

Since I've answered may I ask why the citizens of these fine fine cities are, trooping daily to ugly rotten SW cities ? Because me I dunno oo

Cc: scholes0

Economic colonization. Just like asking why the British came to Africa to colonise them ...or why are Chinese coming to Nigeria now


It's basically business ..dont u you think ? I have a feeling that the economy is in the hands of igbo and Asians in Nigeria

Just look at that phone ..it is either it is been sold to you by an igbo man or its been imported by an igbo man

This might sound harsh but its the fact

The war helped igbo..the war made igbo to believe that they can call the government bluffs and not depend on government and the bombing leveled most igbo cities and they started building new cities

Just like the fire that burnt Manhattan helped new York rebuild ...just like Hiroshima was rebuilt

The war also made igbo ressillient and stronger and made them understand that they can take in anybody

On the other side

The war made the Yoruba to be complacent and the indeginization decree helped them to be a bit dicile making them depend on government


I was at Owerri and Awka few weeks ago.I just couldn't believe the transformation I am seeing..it forced me to start renovation


It seems that nobody is using zinc again but aluminium

Good morning
