Gucciboss:
Which account do want to give in 2020? Have you bothered to read the said document? 2020 is two years from now. What indices are on ground currently to even justify the presence of any vision?
I expect (at present state), one of failure.

Yes. I read the document.

shocked

The truth is,
There was no such thing as vision 2020, neither was there any vision at all.

It was all hallucinations!

Show me a prospering nation and I will show you a country with a vision.

Show me a perishing nation and I will show you a country without vision.

Nigeria is floating,
Nigeria is drowning,
Nigeria is dying.

For where no vision is, the people perish!
We both know there was.

It wasn't perfect (God knows). Still, it gave us a sense of purpose, and a date with destiny: come year 2020, we would give account.
PoliticsThere was a dream; What Happened To Vision 20:2020? by coolk(op):
Once upon a time, we had a dream, about a dream...

We were almost there.
Officially, the Giant of Africa, ranked 22nd largest economy in the World by IMF (as at 2015) and rising, fast. With some analyst forecasting upwards of mid-teen position by 2025.

The news shook the pillars of Africa; made Egyptians shrivel in shock and South Africans red with envy. The sheer audacity of our ambition unleashed a silent political tsunami - the likes of which was last seen when a powerful Chinese wave, swept across Asia, Europe and the Americas.

'Here was a Black Nation that dared to dream, big!' What next? They shuddered; Vision 10:2030? Vision 1:2050? Vision Superpower!

I know this sounds fantastically unreal, considering the sh!thole we currently swim in. But there was a time, not too long ago, when all hope was not lost.

The announcement of our GDP on the 6th of April, 2014, made me swell with pride. I made sure to stick-it to my Ghanaian and South African friends.
Of course, we bullied our African neighbours into submission with our enormous human and natural resources.

Who gives a S**t.

The vultures yapped (as was expected): Numbers on paper, meaningless to the common man. I vividly remember (our very own) financial analyst, Bismarck Rewane calling it "vanity", He added that the rebasing of the Nation's GDP "changes nothing".
In secret, the critics danced in joy. Shhhhh.

Then we fell into a Hole.

Suddenly, (suddenly) APC and Chanji Happened! The single greatest catastrophe to befall a Nation, since Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Our vision, hopes and dreams went pufffff.
Recent estimates from IMF ranks Nigeria's GDP for year 2017 at 30th, behind Egypt, soon to be overtaken by South Africa. Again. #palm-to-face#
Not to alarm you with technical gibberish, the simple fact is, Nigeria is sinking, fast.

Yes. I gerrit. PDP feasted on Nigeria for 16 years; OBJ, GEJ, Atiku, Dansuki, Deziani and Dame held the largest spoons. And Ngozi washed the plates.

And ummm, Oil prices tumbled overnight. #SMH#

Let's be clear. PDP stabbed this country (many, many times), but APC is twisting the knife. PMB is hapless and helpless. Nigerians are gutless (but not as powerless as we think)!

Bloodied but unbowed.
We have fallen on hard times. Times that have made the slow march of progress, even slower. Yet, in a recession (that we have technically left), Nigerians' resilience has continued to drag her economy forward.

A lumbering giant that refuse to succumb to its wounds.

The Napoleon of crooks.
Pa Obasanjo (Ph.D) for all his flaws (I doubt the entire host of angels could wash his robe clean), left us with this sweet dream; Yar'Adua lit it; Jonathan fanned it; Now, Buhari must not let it extinguish.

Call him snake, monkey, even snake in the monkey's shadow; but you can never deny OBJ's wit. Our African tortoise of fables. His cunning is legendary (if in doubt ask IBB, Atiku, GEJ and PMB) and so was his understanding of 'the power of hope'.

Serpent with the silver tongue.

Call to Action.
Dear Citizens, we must awaken from our slumber. Get our PVC. Join the right political movements. Become passionate about saving these country. Elect visionary leaders (with at least above average IQ).

Come, Election Day 2019, seize this country from Ruthless Cabals, Sinister Oppositions and Gathering Dark Forces.

I know there are still fools like me, who believe this Nation can uplift the black race. And become a beacon of hope for Africa - our very own Wakanda Republic.

Never, ever, ever give in.
For all is lost, when hope is gone.

FUNDING:
• Plan to raise a minimum capital of N5,000,000 to kick-start full operations by mid-January 2018.
• Target between 1 to a maximum of 5 investors.
• 24 months cycle for short-term investors ROI (Return On Investment).
• Finance will be used to complete facilities and fund working capital.


Investment could be done as:
• Loan
• Profit-sharing or
• Partnership / Shareholding options.


WHAT YOU STAND TO GAIN
• Each investment option comes with varying, yet substantial ROI (between 100 - 1000% and above). Terms will be negotiated and exit strategy (where required) clearly defined.
• Choosing to buy into the company (registered with CAC) as a shareholder / equity investor provides the most merit; there is a larger, grander long-term vision at play, and it transcends value addition into value innovation and creation.
• Our vision is to become a multibillion naira innovative food and beverage company within the next 10 years.



I know you are interested.

Forum GamesRe: Is This Murder Or Suicide by coolk(m):
Omobolajiatanda:
Was he murdered or did he commit suicide huh
It's definitely Suicide.

Although there are several signs that would mislead even the most meticulous detective to conclude it's murder, including the mess in the office, the forced entry through the window and the supposedly escaping suspect.

But the facts are this:
1. The victim is right handed, as can be deduced from the location of his pen on the desk. it lends credence to the fact that the gun fell to his right, and blood splattered at the wall to his left.

False scenario: - intruder came in through the window on the left, the victim didn't hear a single sound from the window that was violently forced open. He remained seated, while the killer strolled to his right hand side, placed a gun close to his temple (obvious from the blood spatter that the gun was fired at very close range) and shot him while he sat still.

Yes doesn't make sense that a man in his prime will go down without a fight.

2. He is in a comfortable sitting position.
you would assume that any suspected killer smart enough to put his victim in such a posture, is also intelligent enough to know he has to clean up the mess around the office to eliminate suspicion.

3. This is not a physical evidence, bit psychology will tell you that he had a very rough day - folded the arm of his shirt, loosened his tie. Probably lost something dear to him - including his pride. Likely made the mess in his office himself.


So many other reasons I can give, I just don tire to dey type....

Guys are not scarce.
Guys are everywhere.
Just that a particular class of guys are the most desirable. So, there is scarcity of that set. But guys are not scarce.

Can that girl swear no class of guy has ever found her desirable?
She can only say she hasn't seen the kinda man she wants. More reason she specified that earnings doesn't matter.
Meaning, earnings used to matter. Now, take a look at her hair, how much is she earning? That's by the way sha.

How come some of these girls will claim they can't see husband, they ignore all the upcoming guys around them and prefer to be side chicks to ready made men?

So many hustling young guys looking for a woman. Ladies should stick to one that fits up to 70% of their desires and work the way up together. Made guys are no longer going below their class, everybody should hook their level.
You just reinforced my opinion.

You mission in that state is to serve, it's not to start your local government meeting with a married woman. I know that feeling of meeting someone who understands your language in a strange land, but some spouses are insecure and irrational. So, we all should be careful of how we associate with married people.

I expected you to distance yourself from the woman and all the side talks, instead you are planning to sue the husband. Didn't they give you those security talks they give corps members?

Please, face your PPA and CDS.
Pass out in peace.
Your family loves you.
We love you too...

Do you love yourself?
Your response always dey make sense.
I think you are one of the smartest person I know on NL.

@secretlifesaver take this advice seriously.

MadCow1:
Now here is my advice.. Go meet a Lawyer to explain to you what your level of involvement may be. Do not think just because you are in Nairaland you are untraceable. This post can be narrowed down to the I.P address from which it was sent and a dragnet set for you so consider yourself exposed. It will be in your best interest to make a move now to report the crime to the police in the company of a good lawyer who can arrange a plea deal for you to act as a Police witness.

If you don't support their actions then you should have no problems snitching.

But next time when you tell the story, try to be completely honest, no be everybody be johnboo. The truth should include the fact that "You and your cousin have been bleeping."
All the jealousy and rage that young man felt usually comes from heartbreak.
You probably vowed to love him forever, only to stab him at the gut with your impending nuptials.
You are lucky, he may have planned to kill you, then himself.
