Most of the people doing calculations for food abeg, the poster is not the main person so you cant really conclude what the monthly expense is used for, I think the OP just gave rough estimate, the main person involved will probably have the nitty gritty

AND wouldn't the wife get spending money a month?

Regularly as in every Evening, They both had other work, But honestly if the Principal is in charge of employment i wonder why they cant have one part time care taker

And in a school with 6000 student if they all contributed N50, the school can easily construct a borehole with a little extra contribution

You no attend Nigerian school?

This phenomena is really not new. I just wonder why the sudden outcry -- I mean this has been the norm for a long while now.

I attend o but we had good toilets (3 boys,3? girls) my schools were usually small, We had people washing the toilets regularly
and in secondary even better

Maybe someone will listen or perhaps so people dont get carried away by those that have been fixed and publicised

But I still wonder what the role of the school heads are, just like the roles of the LG, almost everything is handled by the Central?

Wow I'm surprised the Reporters didnt even bother to interview any of the school administrators/Principal

Don't they have a budget and how much will it really cost to employ one person to keep the school environment or Toilet clean
Where does the Teacher/Principal do his own bizness??

A car park can always be relocated, built away from the main road, that will ease traffic and perhaps a multi storey car park well lit and regulated
markets next to road will cause drivers to slow down for those entering or coming out

High tension cable can also be relocated just different design and ?

Do you have a picture of both sides of the road,?

A dangote cement truck brokedown close to my area and before dawn the truck was empty, i laugh @ those saying this cant happen in nigeria
ask cocacola , guiness or nigerian breweries how many times thier broken down vehicles have been massively looted?

But as some sympathised with the driver and praised him for his bravery, others defied the fire to steal the fish cartons of inside the container.

Our correspondent, who visited the scene of the inferno, noticed youths and women, falling over one another to steal cartons of fish.

A sympathiser, who refused to disclose his name, was perturbed at the turn of event, wondering why the crowd should be so inhuman and wicked by stealing from the burning vehicle. “We are supposed to be our brothers’ keepers, but what is happening is unimaginable. Imagine, people who are supposed to be pitied are being stolen from. This is a reflection of poverty in the land. Imagine, these same people were helping the driver to put out the fire; but the same people are now stealing the goods,” the sympathiser said.

The men of the Federal Road Safety Corps, who visited the scene, could only control traffic from degenerating, but could not prevent the crowd from ransacking the lorry.

The Unit Commander, FRSC, Mowe, Ogun State, Mr. Olalekan Morakinyo, who was disturbed by the theft, called the police to come and salvage the situation.
As at the time of leaving the scene by 4pm, the crowd was still busy stealing cartons of fish as policemen were yet to arrive. However, the men of the fire service from Ogun State were busy making frantic efforts to put out the fire on the container.

The truth of the matter is the Igbo stand a better chance in 2015 if they field a candidate under the ACN[which seem quite easier to achieve since the ACN will desperate to cast off it's 'tribal party' label by presenting an Igbo(Ngige)]. Whatever comes out of the PDP primaries, assuming another Igbo wins it, then Ngige can stand down a few days to the elections.

Why is that?

basically an igbo person should win it regardless? undecided

Why should Ngige stand down for the other igbo? did Buhari stand down for Yaradua? or Obasanjo for Falaye*

For this scenario to become reality, there needs to be a high level of trust among the three principal actors: Ngige, Tinubu and Saraki. They would also need to win the crucial support of President Jonathan.

he is a lightweight, the only thing he is good for will be passing the nations wallet!

What if the Opposition presents An Okonji/Obi and Yuguda/Markafi

“Now in the last one month alone, President Jonathan has played host to the German Chancellor, he has received the British Prime Minister, he attended the independence anniversary of South Sudan, he was in Liberia, a few days ago he also was in Chad and he has also in the last three weeks received representative of Côte d’Ivoire and also from Niger. Now you will see that he has done a lot to hold on to Nigeria’s strategic importance within the region.” He also stated that Mr Jonathan was doing a lot in other parts of governance and towards ensuring stability in the country.

It's a good thing that I'm in the same private sector you speak of, and also in telecom. Who are these broadband operators? And who says the private sector doesn't get a hearing? In telecoms, we have the stakeholders forum with NCC. That's where those decisions on SIM Reg and Number Portability were taken. Same goes for finance - bankers committee, etc. Where did you get all these impressions?

The Chief Executive Officer of Main One, Funke Opeke has restated the call for the creation of a national broadband strategy.

Opeke informed THISDAY that elsewhere across the globe, the creation of a national strategy that will enable broadband penetration was being pursued.

She gave examples of Ghana, where an ongoing initiative was on in this regard and the United States, where the Obama administration was recently launched a broadband strategy to speed broadband penetration. She urged the Nigerian government to enable a strategy that define how improved access and lower cost of broadband can be achieved across Nigeria.

Opeke reiterated that most countries were increasingly focused on implementing such broadband strategies because of the proven impact on economic development.

She stressed that it will be critical for Nigeria to do the same if it wants to make the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Vision 20:2020 a reality. Broadband , often called high-speed Internet, because it usually has a high rate of data transmission relative to dial-up access over a modem is a critical tool that drives development. Any economy that wants to be reckoned with cannot afford to ignore Broadband.
Thisday

Another is the aviation sector- the increasing bills and fuel saga, the cement manufacturers/importers, textiles manufacturers--these are all recurring issues for these sectors

_{Glad you mentioned the banking sector, people think the Mallam wakes up and make decisions without the bankers themselves e.g the cashless/electronic banking policy}

This is private sector stuff. And I am in that same private sector. Don't generalize. You'd be surprised how Indians, Chinese, and Lebanese are struggling to take advantage of the opportunities that we are spurning.

I've always thought those guys are coming non necessarily coming with better skills and obviously local knowledge but with cheaper funds and some local connections (its easier for them)

Another things is the middle class or should i say those that can afford services or products as you mentioned in the healthcare sector

for example, if healthcare entrepreneurs could sink investment into that sector, build mega-hospitals like it was done in India, you'd create a lot of jobs, and the health insurance would bridge the gap between poor citizens and affordable healthcare. If there is more manufacturing of drugs locally, more research, there will be more opportunities for Nigerians,

there are still so many struggling to pay for drugs or even Xrays. In a way I think Lagos might be distorting a lot of peoples view on the purchasing power of Nigerians outside the 6 cities live is tough- Insurance will mean people have some sort of income, and this insurance many private hospitals still think they are not getting a good deal ( not sure about the number that are taking this up either)

I also see a lot of growth but why its not penetrating or sustainable in other areas I don't know, the figures are always on the up though, perhaps Nigerian investors are very risk averse mainly due to high rate of failure, high rate of interest and government policies

The broadband operator are asking for a policy directive, one would have thought the NCC/FG would be pushing for it way before they landed. The private sector rarely get a hearing, they are not engaged properly, they are only used for committees whose recommendations hardly see the light and political fund raising

Business › Re: How Far Is Nigeria From Economic Growth? by DisGuy: 1:00pm On Aug 11, 2011

Growth in Numbers, I think People will feel the impact if perhaps they know how much new jobs are created, or if the employement figures are decreasing or increasing

Manufacturing output and Employment stats will be the most useful to Nigerian right now, because the economy of developing countries using these indices above is always on the UP 'naturally'
