^^^ u r right but they create the environment that promote creation of jobs,
Soludo created that
Sanusi destroy it
how much funds was created for agriculture, manufacturing and SME under Soludo, we know how much was created for the oil n gas traders n stock market speculators

how much was for the real economy, creating shaky banking jobs with mini skirt marketers is not sustainable job creation

TravelRe: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by DisGuy(mod):
No be beans o

Its best you have all your funds and any extra work is just to suppliment your pocket money

-I had previous retail experience whilst in college so getting a UNI-job was pretty straight forward- that was then o, new sportsworld was opening

- its best you meet/know people before your school start, arrive early, attend freshers week or even before that, so sharing a house would be the cheapest, dont be afraid to rent with other nationalisties, adds to the experience
I got school accommodation for my first year and lived at home from second year

- if you are living with university mate, make sure you get bundle phone and internet, preferably free calls to landline n 0845 number all hours, then use calling cards- Talkhome ,cobra or use international sim cards, lebara, vectone

-If you are comfortable, dont need to work or have extra time on your hands make sure you get involved the community, Volunteer and gain experience even if its not paid, dont close yourself off to only nigerian/african students dont force yourself to do things you dont want to do either


Remember your primary aim to to study not to work your bumbum off to impress someone back home, you're just a student

He obtained his three degrees and then professorship at the University of Nigeria in Nsukka, Enugu State. He graduated with a First Class Honors degree in 1984, an M.Sc. Economics in 1987, and a Ph.D. in 1989, winning prizes for the best student at all three levels.[1][5][6]
anyone that goes to his daddys university and obtained ALL three qualification from the SAME school--- not ideal IMO

mojounited:
Long overdue, albeit I still commend the FG for taking the initiative to do the right thing. . . I think the ministers of state positions should be scrapped -- such duplication is just comical. And what's the ish about "collateral political damages on the Presidency" for doing the right thing huh Issues regrading careers, cost of retirement benefits and pensions should be rightfully addressed while the initiative would still be implemented -- better still, let the government do what it knows how to do best; promise them "palliatives to cushion the effect" as was done to the poor masses during subsidy brouhaha, after all them for don loot the money tire by now especially those ministers of state. angry
commending the FG for setting up a committee to assess the many committee that has been set up to evaluate previous committees work about restructing public committees

the pension biometric verification initiated by Orosanye as Head of Service paid off, with the nation saved N151 billion alongside the discovery of close to 80,000 fake pensioners
so how many people are in jail, since he found out there are 80k fake pensioners, how much recovered, how many properties have been seized, these fake pensioners didnt put themselves there

[quote author=maxpro-xl link=topic=870162.msg10194383#msg10194383 date=1329227712]no need to compare, soludo is far better than the aboki prince. how can u compare an economics professor to a guru in religious studies.

soludo boosted the banking sector and created more employment than any CBN gov in the history of nigeria. capital base and asset base of all banks experienced tremendious growth. most banks could fund multi-million dollar projects and there was stability in the sector.

all sanusi did was create mass unemployment and tension in the system all in the name of sanitising the system. targeting some CEO's that he had beef for way back in his days as a bank director.
after then he told bank ceos that have spent over ten years to step down, can u imagine. of what relevance is that. just because he wanted people like jim ovia(zenith) and elumelu(uba) out of the system.

just recently CBN donated N100m to victims of kano bomb blasts. when did kano state become CBN responsilibility. its all in a bid to steal public funds. even state governors cant afford to donate such amount. akpabio donated N40m. who gave sanusi so much power to mis-manage public funds.

dont be deceived. SANUSI IS A RELIGIOUS FANATIC, TRIBALISTIC AND an EDUCATED ILLITERATE[/quote]i never understand why people cook this up, how will you have beef with another M.D, when you are not in the same company

the 10 year rule for CEOs was there before him, why didnt they sue him? these guys know they were let off lightly, better to turn their energies somewhere else, than play dictator for life.

Soludo is bettter than those CBN and FEd reserve guys! he created job, he should be world bank president grin



mens dept:
Yes, Soludo was just okay. [b]We dont need to overpraise people. The next thing you'll hear folks saying Soludo for Gov 2015, or Soludo for Prez 2015, even Soludo for Republican Nominee against Obama.[/b]Anyway, his whole Naira scheme to help strengthen the Naira was pretty much rejected by people domestically (and especially internationally) that were benefiting from the high exchange rate.

So, we have a long way to go in being clever like the Chinese, Arabs, and Westerners.
he has already contested and lost VP, Governorship election, I wonder why those northerners in Abia didnt vote for him, its the fault of the northerners!

BusinessRe: Nigeria To Ignite Potential With Gdp Rebasing by DisGuy(op): 2:37am On Feb 08, 2012
The implication is that GDP per capita will subsequently increase, making Nigeria a more attractive investment case and potentially boosting consumer stocks”, he told BusinessDay.

Consumer names such as Nigerian Breweries, Guinness, Flour Mills, Nestle, and PZ have already announced robust expansion plans in the past year, while their stocks have mostly outperformed the NSE ASI (Nigerian Sock Exchange All Share Index) in 2011, with most analysts expecting the trend to continue, with the rise of the middle class, growing disposable incomes and GDP per capita.

That said, Nigeria ‘s output per capita currently at $1,600 still trails that of many other economies on the African continent and while the rebasing would be an overall positive, it could also lead to lower Economic Ratios.

Acccording to Gadio, “On the fiscal side, the revenue-to-GDP ratio will decline, but so will the overall fiscal position of the government. The current account surplus will also decrease, which may not be positively perceived by offshore accounts looking at the country’s external dynamics, especially as the current account balance has already been substantially downsized in recent years, in the official data, due to an unexplained increase in imports.”

BusinessRe: Nigeria To Ignite Potential With Gdp Rebasing by DisGuy(op): 2:33am On Feb 08, 2012
The rebasing of Nigeria ’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), as is presently being contemplated, would likely make the country Sub Saharan Africa’s (SSA’s) biggest economy, by 2014, according to a new research report released yesterday to BusinessDay by Renaissance Capital (Rencap) analysts.

The report says that if Nigeria’s GDP is revised upwards by the same magnitude as Ghana’s was in 2010 (which is 60 percent) Nigeria’s economy could surpass the size of the sedately growing South African economy, as soon as 2014.

“However, if we are conservative and expect only a 20 percent upward adjustment, then Nigeria is likely to become Sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest economy by 2016,” the report noted.

Nigeria was in January 2012, expected to change the base year for its GDP calculations to 2008 from 1990, a move that could have led to a huge jump in the estimated size of Africa ‘s second biggest economy.

However, the release of the new GDP figures may have been delayed for a few weeks, as disclosed by Yemi Kale, Statistician- General of the National Bureau of Statistics (N.B.S) in a recent interview.

“Yes, we are still working on it. Unfortunately, there was a lot of work that should have been done during the period of the strike, so we have been set back by a couple of weeks. We are still hoping that we might be able to complete this before the end of the quarter. I was hoping to release this number by the last week in January.”

Most governments overhaul GDP calculations every few years, to reflect changes in output and consumption, such as mobile phones and Internet usage, but Nigeria has not done so since 1990, suggesting that the previous GDP framework, underestimated economic activity.

When Ghana rebased its GDP in 2010, the value of its economy shot up by over 60 per cent.

“A similar 60 per cent increase for Nigeria’s $222 billion economy, would bring it much closer to the continent’s top economy, South Africa, which is currently at $355billion,” says Samir Gadio, Emerging Markets Strategist at Standard Bank, while underlining the potential impact of the upward adjustment on the country’s growth outlook.
BusinessNigeria To Ignite Potential With Gdp Rebasing by DisGuy(op): 2:30am On Feb 08, 2012
Saw this article last year, but was looking for more information from the experts,

LAGOS (Reuters) - Nigeria plans to change the base year for its gross domestic product (GDP) to 2008 from 1990, a move that could lead to a "huge jump" in the estimated size of Africa's second biggest economy, the national statistics chief said on Thursday.

The measure scheduled for January will aim to better capture the current real economy, taking into account the growth of sectors like telecoms, Yemi Kale, head of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) told Reuters in a phone interview.

When Ghana made a similar move to recalculate its GDP last November, its estimated output shot up by 60 percent, catapulting it into the ranks of the middle income countries.

"When we do it next year ,  We expect a huge jump in GDP because we have been using the 1990's and the structure of the Nigerian economy has changed since then," Kale said.

"There have been a lot of changes in the Nigerian economy, for example, we now have a telecom sector which did not exist in the 90s," he added.

Most governments overhaul their GDP calculations every few years to reflect changes in output and consumption, such as the advent of mobile telephony and the Internet, but Nigeria has not done so since 1990.
