₦airaland Forum

DAILY NIGERIAN gathered that the meeting, which is part of his pre-defection conditions, was organised at the instance of Mr Shekarau in order to hype up his exit and show his political relevance

Shekarau wants a heroic entry no doubt. Na PDP put extra food for APC mouth out of utter foolishness. One can safely conclude that for the PDP in Kano, it is

Any news without source is

The NMA should threadl carefully less it compromises the achievements it has recorded and the potential for more during the short cycle of this administration. NMA know those posing as stumbling block to the constituting of the MDCN board ostensably for personal interests. Same persons the NMA will give awards to tomorrow. Stability in the health sector is gradually being achieved. Therefore, we should continually tow the path of dialogue rather than adopt a confrontational approach.

Useless thread meant for PDP urchins

Meeloreh:
In case it was real earth tremor, how many Nigerians are well trained to detect, predict or tackle such. I'm just wondering

Tremors are not predicted, they are detected. Otherwise, the authorities won't be getting caught unawares every time even in developed climes.

EAGLE ONE will be landing when I'll be waking up tomorrow

Hmmm
IMAGINE AN UNREPENTANT THIEF LIKE SARAKI PROMISING TO FIGHT CORRUPTION, EVEN SATAN WILL BE DOUBTFUL

tomakint:
Will you keep quiet there.......

Like PDP like PDPglets. Very arrogant

BRASH:
This ur description fits apc perfectly. Benue is a case in point.

Nwa, PDP was christened the Nest of killers long before you were disengaged from suckling mummy's breast

That's how PDP rolls. Violence is their religion. They kill you for supporting them, they kill you for opposing them, they kill you for being neutral. What a party.

Qsscruz:
Dont ever mention Enugu and Warri in the same sentence..They are two different worlds. And yes, i live in Warri.

Have you been to Enugu Airport?

SolutionMee:


Nigeria economy is as ugly as her finance minister. Gosh! Where did Nigerians found this hanuman?

Dare show your monkey face. Descendant of Aremu!

CROWNWEALTH019:
Him na mole for us PDP

Ndalu for your PAINMENT. PLS DONT CHOKE

Xander85:
I can imagine the kind of Igbo hating bigot that would like this your post!

You think I write out of imagination. What is in Enugu that an airstrip cannot serve. Warri, an oil city is served well by Osubi airstrip. Onitsha strategically deserves an airport more than Enugu.

CROWNWEALTH019:
Lies from the pit of hell

Don't mind Atiku the pathological lier and incurabl kleptomaniac that should be serving multiple Jail terms

Enugu does not deserve more than an airstrip. I haven't seen the justification for an airport.

Amitez:
Adamawa state governor
Kebbi state governor
Niger state governor
Plateau state governor
Yobe state governor
Jigawa state governor
Bauchi state governor
Lagos state governor
Just wait and see. Only Okorocha, Yaya Bello and Elrufai will remain

You can as well say all APC governors are defecting to PDP

SolutionMee:


The fear of Saraki is the beginning of running all the way from Lagos to Osun State. I don't expect a man with a brown roofed teeth to be doing that at old age. Unfortunately, shame has no respect for age. Saraki will soon teach him another modern day politics in Osun State.

You think na era of ballot box snatching or result writing in government house. Since INEC new approach to election PDP has been finding it difficult to win elections. Why is it so?

jamjo:
As I said and I will said it again and again whatever that is worth doing is worth doing well. No amount of excuses will change the fact that mediocrity is not worthy of celebration, and as where I live I don't think you can be able to afford a flight ticket to Chicago to see where I live.

OK, kindly show the prototype house that you deemed OK. While at it also show pic of your current abode. Thank you

Let's even give PDP the benefit of doubt. Who are the probable governors. Only Bindow of Adamawa comes to my mind. Which other one is there?

naptu2:
Can't you read and understand?? I said that the Nigerian delegation had pens and papers with them and I wondered if they knew what happened to other delegations that were criticised because they didn't have pens and papers.

Ayam not understanding again. Can't blame him. I had same impression initially. I had to zoom and reread your comments before getting the gist right

Npower/Federal Ministry of Finance refuse to pay Ntax 7months stipend after working
Ntax is a category under Npower 2017 which Minister of Finance Kemi Adeosun and Vice president Yemi Osinbajo created to increase tax payment across the 36 states. They promise to train 7500 out 300,000 from 2017 Npower beneficiary, and they have started the training in Federal Treasury Academy, Orozo Abuja last year. Up to this moment they have trained 36 batches.
Here are the problem facing by each category.
Stream 1-22 have been receiving their stipend up to date
Stream 22-28 have never received any stipend. (7 months )
Stream 29-36 have not been deploy talk less of payment. (Since June)
Here is what one of the Ctlo said
"It was like a dream come through when we were all called to report for training which took us the whole week in Abuja(orozo). After the training we were deployed to our different state to carry out the voluntary assignment as CTLO under the Npower arm of special intervention programme. But it is over 7months now we have not been given a dime as promised. Many of us move up and down to carry out the VAIDS exercise with our own pocket thinking that we would be paid soon. Its over 7months now that batch 22-28 CTLOs are hoping to get paid. We have tried to reach Npower through our state to make move for our payment but all to know avail. We are appealing to the appropriate authorities to please come to our rescue as many of us are finding it difficult to feed our family. As we quite appreciate the concept of this programme, we would further appreciate if our stipend is immediately paid....

I hate to come across experiences like this. Just not right. But OP kindly persevere, because as long as your documentation is complete, the FG will always pay.

When Ipobians are said to be products of one unknown factor, some will say its a lie. Look at comments above. Just a glance and you will know its them as always.

OAM4J:
I dont think IMF / World Bank loans are better either. And Chinese offer much lower interest than IMF/World Bank.

Loans generally should be taken when you are are sure you have the means of paying it back.

I see no reason blaming Chinese for tightening the cover of their exposure. All lenders do that now.

Abeg, be posting more often. I won't be off mark if I say Ezekwesili is probably undergoing post menopausal syndrome. A period when hormone deficiencies results in emotional imbalance and poor judgement.
The President has outlined what such loans are meant for. The least the society expects from her is to help in
monitoring the utilization of such loans and not to be indulging in meaningless prefabricated opinions.
Maybe she is afraid her legacies, wherever they might be, are being threatened.
It was on this Nairaland years back I read accounts of how loans were procured during OBJ regime that Ezekwesili served. Nigerian officials saw such loans as favours rather than liabilities, thereby paying scant attention to contract details with the consequence that 50% of such loans were expended on the same World bank/IMF officials in the guise of bank/professional fees, logistic, and welfare.

They mention GEJ, una complain, they no mention him una still go complain.

Hmmm

modath:
Minus Ede , Ife.... The rest of Osun is on lockdown.

One thing that astounded me was PDP's decision to pick a running mate for Kaffy's troupe member from Ile-Ife knowing quite well Omisore will throw in all he has to not lose at home... wondering who wrote that terrible script..

Anything that will ensure Aregbe and his party success is OK by me. I believe he was a victim of his own laudable ambitions. I hope the populace is understanding enough.

@OP, some details

20 BIGGEST ECONOMIES OF AFRICA 2018 - GDP and FOREIGN RESERVE (​Rated in US$ Billions​)


20. Equatorial Guinea
GDP: $26.147 Billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $2 Billion
EQ
10.aeccafe.com
While Equatorial Guinea has a relatively small population, it has broken bounds on oil reserves and is currently one of the largest producers of oil in Africa. Even as rich as oil has made the country, its citizens still suffer as a result of inequality in the distribution of resources, while the very corrupt leaders enjoy all the benefit there is.

19. Gabon
GDP: $20.664 Billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $1 Billion
Gabon
panoramio.com
With the declining state of oil production in Gabon, it is still one of the highest producers of oil in sub-Saharan Africa. Over the last forty years, the country has been quite dependent on oil to sustain its economy. But more recently, it is trying to diversify and branch out into many other areas so as to have a diversified economy.

18. Zambia
GDP: $22.416 Billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $2 Billion

Top 20 richest African countries
Because of the sharp decline of Zambia’s agricultural produce in 2013, there has been a great reduction in the country’s real GDP by 6.5 percent. Apart from agriculture which is a key sector that generates good revenue for the government, it’s Copper accounts for 70% of Zambia’s revenue from exports. Currently, Zambia stands at the Eighteenth position on the list of Largest Economies in Africa with an estimated GDP of $22.416 Billion.


17. Uganda
GDP: $23.053 Billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $3 Billion
Top 20 richest African countries
Top 20 richest African countries
Uganda most certainly has come a long way from its economic turmoil. It is on record that the 2009/10 fiscal year of Uganda was declared with the poverty rate of 24.5% but this figure reduced to 22.2% in the 2012/13 fiscal year. As at then, GDP growth was estimated at 5.2 percent in the same period. This was mainly achieved through stringent fiscal discipline and proper management of the country’s resources by the government. Botswana is rich in diamond but also in strong farming, tourism and financial servicing.Currently, Uganda’s GDP is valued at $23.053 billion.

16. Cameroon
GDP: $48.14 Billion
Foreign Exchange Rate: $2.89 Billion
cameroon
Top 20 richest African countries
The economy of Cameroon has come a long way from what it used to be, even though the people are still largely farmers, the country’s natural resources are being put to very good use in improving the lives of the citizens. The southern rainforest has vast timber reserves, estimated to cover 37% of Cameroon’s total land area.

15. Ivory Coast
GDP: $32 Billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $4.6 Billion

Top 20 richest African countries
As a result of the significant infrastructural (edit) projects, Ivory Coast saw an 8.8 percent growth rate in 2013. Meanwhile, the country’s economy is driven by some of the key sectors. Based on the forecast, the growth rate of Ivory Coast is likely to stand at 9% due to the country’s economic futures which are considered bright and auspicious. Currently, the overall GDP of Ivory Coast stands at $32 billion.

14. The Democratic Republic of Congo
GDP: $30.8 Billion
Foreign Exchange Rate: $5.239 Million
Vue de Sozacom, Kinshasa, 2004.
lareference.cd
The economy of the Republic of the Congo is a mixture of subsistence hunting and agriculture, an industrial sector based largely on petroleum extraction and support services, and a government spending, characterized by budget problems and overstaffing. Petroleum has supplanted forestry as the mainstay of the economy, providing a major share of government revenues and exports. Nowadays the country is increasingly converting natural gas to electricity rather than burning it, greatly improving energy prospects.

13. Tanzania
GDP: $36.6 Billion
Foreign Exchange Rate: $4.174 Billion
Top 20 richest African countries
The United Republic of Tanzania is the second largest economy in the East African Community and the twelfth largest in Africa. The country is largely dependent on agriculture for employment, accounting for about half of the employed workforce. Even though Tanzanian is a rich country, an estimated 34 percent of Tanzanians currently live in poverty. The economy has been transitioning from a command economy to a market economy since 1985. Although total GDP has increased since these reforms began, GDP per capita dropped sharply at first, and only exceeded the pre-transition figure in around 2007.

12. Tunisia
GDP: $45.611 billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $5.699 Billion
Top 20 richest African countries
The Tunisian economy is diverse and market-oriented with a significant foundation in mining, manufacturing and tourism. The latest 2012 figures for Tunisia’s GDP stands at $104.4 billion coming from a growth rate of 2.7%. Agriculture contributes 8.9% while industry and services contribute both 29.6% and 61.5% respectively.

11. Ghana
GDP: $50 Billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $7.308 Billion
Top 20 richest African countries
Ghana’s growing economy is largely achieved through years of sound management, positively competitive business environment, and sustained reductions in poverty levels. Ghana’s economy is built on a diverse and rich resource base, not only relying on natural resources (Gold, cocoa, timber, bauxite and more recently, crude oil) which it has in abundance but on other sectors like services which accounts for 50% of GDP.

10. Ethiopia
GDP: $51 Billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $3.147 Billion
Top 20 richest African countries
Ethiopia is among the non-oil producing African countries with the fastest growing economies and has managed to sustain a high single digit annual growth rate since 2004 and is estimated to expand by 11.3 percent in the 2012/13 budget year.
Agriculture contributes to almost half of Ethiopia’s GDP and offers about 85% of all employment in the country. Ethiopia’s GDP stood at $103.1 billion as at 2012. The government has invested in ways to privatize and restructure her policies which are beginning to attract foreign investments in the country. However, it’s GDP has dropped a lot to $51 billion considering previous years.

9. Kenya
GDP: $53.40 Billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $9.698 Billion
Top 20 richest African countries
The capital, Nairobi, is a regional commercial hub. The economy of Kenya is the largest by GDP in Southeast and Central Africa. Agriculture is a major employer; the country traditionally exports tea and coffee and has more recently begun to export fresh flowers to Europe. The service industry is also a major economic driver. Kenya is a member of the East African Community. Compared to other African countries, Kenya enjoys relatively high political and social stability.

8. Sudan
GDP: $63 billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $504.9 Million
Top 20 richest African countries
More than once, we have mentioned oil and gas as the main source of income for countries on this list. Sudan also falls into that category but in a more diverse way. It depends on oil but with a third of its GDP contributed by agriculture. Cotton and peanuts constitute its major agricultural exports. You may not notice a “Made in Sudan” tag on the shirt you buy in Khartoum but cotton from Sudan has fueled the textile industry in many parts of the world.

7. Libya
GDP: $76.52 Billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $69.35 Billion
Top 20 richest African countries
Libya is largely dependent on its oil reserve and petroleum products for most of its revenue and just about 20% of all of Libya’s GDP comes from the service and construction sectors. The small number of population with a large amount of revenue from oil suggests the reason Libya has been described as an “Upper Middle Economy” by the world bank. Since 2000, Libya has recorded favourable growth rates with an estimated 10.6% growth of GDP in 2010 and 76.3% in 2012 after plummeting in 2011.

6. Morocco
GDP: $114.7 Billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $22.97 Billion
Top 20 richest African countries
Morocco’s GDP (PPP) stands at $168.9 billion, making it the 6th among the richest countries in Africa. Morocco is largely dependent on agriculture and its proximity to Europe is part of what is influencing Morocco’s market and economy which it has capitalized on to build a diverse, open market-oriented economy. Apart from phosphorus for which the country is the world’s third-largest producer, there are also revenues coming from tourism, textiles, apparel and overall, Morocco is the second richest non-oil-producing country in Africa after Egypt.

5. Angola
GDP: $129.785 billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $23.63 Billion
Top 20 richest African countries
Angola is fifth among the richest countries in Africa with a GDP of $129.785 billion. The country enjoys an extensive reserve of oil and gas resources, hydroelectric power, diamonds, and rich agricultural land but still remains a fairly weak economy. Part of the reason is not far from poor management of resources and extreme corruption. According to Transparency International, Angola is rated Angola among the 10 most corrupt countries in Africa and 157 out of 174 countries rated. Being the second largest producer of crude oil in Africa following Nigeria, oil production contributes a very large percentage of foreign exchange.

4. Algeria
GDP: $219.453 billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $114.653 Billion
Top 20 richest African countries
Located in northern Africa, Algeria is the 4th largest economy among the wealthiest African countries with the most recent GDP figure standing at $219.453 billion. Algeria is a country where the government practically exerts a lot of control on most infrastructures. Crude oil contributes the most revenues and foreign currency for Algeria accounting for some 60% of budget revenues, up to 30% of GDP, and more than 95% of export earnings.

3. Egypt
GDP: $275.748 Billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $38.210 Billion
Top 20 richest African countries
Egypt has enjoyed quite a stable economy and continuous growth since the past quarter-century averaging 4%–5%, however, the lack of transparency and freedom has not allowed growth to get to the expected levels. There is still no doubt that Egypt is among the richest countries in Africa with a well-developed energy sector that is based on coal, oil, natural gas, and hydropower.

2. South Africa
GDP: $341.216 billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $50.501 Billion
Top 20 richest African countries
South Africa is the second richest country in Africa and one of the fastest developing nation in the world. It is endowed with lots of natural resources including gold, diamond, platinum to name a few. It is classified as a middle emerging market and unlike most other countries in Africa that depend on a single source for revenue, South Africa is diversified. The country’s stock exchange is rated the 18th Largest in the world.

1. Nigeria
GDP: $594.257 Billion
Foreign Exchange Reserve: $40.560 Billion
Top 20 richest African countries
Nigeria comes first among the richest countries in Africa with the most recent GDP figures standing at $594.257 billion. The 160-million people Nigerian market is seen as one of Africa’s largest market but this is more of a consumer market that practically buys more than it sells. Crude oil accounts for more than 85% of all foreign exchange and revenue generation by the giant country hence, is tied to fluctuations in the price of crude. The government has not made strong effort to diversify the economy to some other sectors like services and industries
