Lack Of Vision & Worthy Role Models Leading Nigerian Youths Into "self-destruct" Mode Each Passing Day

May God Help Our Future

Hmmmm. This Is Serious.

He May Not Be A Saint. However, Killing A Fellow Man Is Never Right Under Whatever Guise.

Especially, In A Country Where Those Who Die In The Line Of Duty Hardly Get Celebrated.

May God Grant Family Of The Deceased Sergeant Fortitude To Bear The Loss.

Impressive!

Congratulations Serena.

Looking Forward To A Day Nigeria Will Have A Player In Top 10 Of ATP/WTA Rankings.

I Mean A Full Blooded Nigerian. Till Then, We Will Continue To Celebrate Serena & Venus Who Are The Closest To That Dream We Have Got

Nigerian business mogul and Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, was the only African to make the 50 Most Influential People in 2017, according to a list released by Bloomberg magazine.

The man described as President of the Dangote Group of companies has often made such lists due to his business concerns and humanitarian efforts back home in Nigeria.

The list pooled together people from five broad categories: business, tech, politics, entertainment and finance. In the area of business Bloomberg said of the personalities, “In business, like Africa’s richestman devoted to boosting food production in Nigeria and a designer who made Adidas the powerhouse that it is today.”

“Dangote, who made his fortune in the cement industry, is turning his attention to dairy and sugar farming; he’s earmarked $800 million to buy 50,000 cattle in the hope of producing 500 million liters of milk annually by 2019.”

A reviewer Paul Wallace wrote about the 60-year-old: “Dubbed “the quiet billionaire” for his relatively frugal lifestyle, Dangote fast-tracked plans to help his country of 180 million people import less of what it eats.

“Dangote, who made his fortune in the cement industry, is turning his attention to dairy and sugar farming; he’s earmarked $800 million to buy 50,000 cattle in the hope of producing 500 million liters of milk annually by 2019.

“He’s also racing to finish a 650,000-barrel-a-day oil refinery near Lagos, set to be one of the world’s biggest, and says he intends to spend as much as $50 billion in the next decade on renewable energy and petrochemical refineries, including investments in the U.S. and Europe. Which is all fine, but not quite his grand ambition: buying Arsenal, his favorite soccer team.”

A photo of Dangote was displayed last Wednesday on the Nasdaq Tower in New York following his selection on the Bloomberg list.

Other persons who made the list include Nikki Haley, the United States envoy to the United Nations, Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon; Paul Gaudio, Global Creative Director of Adidas and Michel Barnier, E.U. Chief Brexit negotiator.

Elon Musk of Tesla, Alessandro Michele, creative director of Gucci; California state governor, Jerry Brown, CEO of General Motors, Mary Barra and Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman were also on the list.Source:Pocket News

Incredible

Another Side Of Mobile Communication.

These Things Were before Mobile Communication Devices Came Into Prominence.

However, Issues Like This Were Not Everyday Gist Items

Hmmm.

He Lived To Follow His Passion.

He Died Living His Passion.

i Hope His Life Inspired Someone To Be & Do Better.

May God Grant His Loved Ones Fortitude To Bear The Loss.

I Don't Want To Believe She Did This Cos She Was Tired Of Being Single.

She Either Did As Expression Of Her Innate Creativity;

Or

Just To Become An Overnight Internet Sensation.

My Humble Opinion.

I Appreciate Your Observations. They Are Right.

However, Getting Loans Isn't A Problem. For A Fact, Loans Judiciously Used Are Great Ways To Ensuring Development.

Let Us Hope The Legislative Bodies Do Their Bits. Governments Can't But Borrow

DWJOBScom:
What will finance these budgets? where are we getting the funds? what are the terms of payments?
Should we pick a loan how long is the payment? will the next Govt see money to fund it's own endeavor if there is self ?






Quite good but remember Capital projects are cute ways of laundering money

Poor Turn Out

Please, Explain What You Mean By States Being Impoverished In This Context.

DWJOBScom:
It has just started and if not properly managed , most states will be so impoverished for the next 10years

Meanwhile, I Am Impressed That Governments At All Levels Are Now Devoting Larger Percentages Of Their Budgets To Capital Expenditure.

I Hope The Legislatures Will Complement This By Taking Their Oversight Responsibilities Serious

This Is Instructive.

With All The Noise On Social Media Calling For #EndSARS, Only This Number Of People Came Out.

Just As There Are Many e-Protesters, So There Are Many e-Voters; Those Who Will Vow To Vote Out PMB Come 2019 But Will Not Go Out To Vote On Election Day

The Rally Is Scheduled To Hold Simultaneously In 10 Locations Across The Country.

Are You A Participant?

Know Someone Who Is A Participant?

What Is The Turnout Like In Your Area?

Let Us Know. Thanks

No. I Didn't Say That. Secondus' Track Records In Administration Of Political Parties Is Quite Impressive.

Thanks

CaptainJeffry:
Are you saying that Secondus who has been a vice chairman and acting chairman for a long time isn't fit for that post or what

It's Unfortunate That PDP National Convention Was Allowed To Degenerate Into Battle For Tribal Supremacy.

Leadership Qualities Of Aspirants & Their Agenda Were Relegated To The Background.

We Have A Long Way To Go In This Country

How Do We Start?Where Do We Start From? Politicking The World Over, Even In The USA, Requires Having Huge Pocket. That Already Puts Nigerian Youths In Disadvantage.

I Pray This Sees Light Of The Day. Several Past Administrations - Including That Of Olusegun Agagu Who Was From The Senatorial Zone - Have Promised Commencement Of Exploration, Yet Nothing Concrete Followed Such Promises.

Yes. PDP Is Likely To Pick Vice Presidential Candidate From The South East If Atiku Gets The Ticket As Expected.

However, Will Governor Fayose's Ego Allow Him To Make Decisions In Interest Of His Party?

MosD:
But even without prof. Adeniran fayose won't easily get VP

OP, Stop Exposing Your Ignorance & Blind Allegiance To The Whole World.

Nnamdi Kanu Has Done His Bit (Whether With Sincerity Of Purpose Or Not). However, That Doesn't Mean He Will Be Widely Accepted Wherever His Name His Mentioned

I See Governor Fayose Sabotaging Prof Adeniran's Quest In Order To Boost His Own (Vice) Presidential Aspiration.

Party National Chairman & (Vice) Presidential Candidate Can't Come From The Same State

This Is Good. I Am Already In Love With Your Website

Interesting. Civic Action Is Part Of Democracy. I Hope Nobody Will Turn This To An APC vs PDP Affair

We Wait For International (Standard) Confirmation

I Am Game.

GoggleB:
Hope you earn big..
And are your ready to place your bet.

I Won't Be Voting In 2019 Due To Work Issues. However, I Can Bet You My 3 Months Salary That PMB Will Win 2019 Presidential Elections.

GoggleB:
So you will vote PMB in 2019 If he should contest again?

When The Campaign Starts, APC Will Tell US How The Party Created Hundreds Of Thousands Of Jobs Through nPower, And How Boko Haram Has Been Technically Defeated, How Corruption Has Been Fought Leading To More Money Available To Be Spent On Improving Standard Of Living Of Nigerians.

At The End Of It All, APC Will Win. And PMB Will Continue Till 2023.

Japan Is Much Smaller Than Nigeria. Yet, When It Comes To What Really Matters; Standard Of Living, Japan Is Several Times Ahead Of Nigeria. SIZE DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS NOT PRODUCTIVELY HARNESSED.

OP, "Monitor" Lizard Not Monitoring Lizard. Please, Note & Effect Necessary Correction
