Speaking of that, why cant she even take a pay cut? I personally would be thrilled to have the opportunity to serve Nigeria in any capacity with significant paycut ( na lie but lets say hypothetically ). Definitely not a selfless woman. Why do you have to pay someone in dollars- is she an expatriate??

As much as I respect her seems like the woman has oju kokoro sha. She is greedy sha

This is like Jon Stewart taking down the 'Faux' guys.

Impressive.  Now, how is Ijebu Ijesha University?

I'd love to send my kids there.

ZnO:
Where in  my post was such a comparison made? I know you are blind.

ZnO:
Buhahah! Aganga is Edo. Stop claiming him. Even at that, can you show us Aganga's salary so we can see for ourselves?

My point is that the guys is not Yoruba.

And, asking to see Aganga's salary happens to be comparison to you

How do I compare Aganga's salary that I have not seen to a WB salary that is mentioned here?

All these ijebu ijesha university students with half a brain.

Mr Amosun said the financial position of the state is bad and that the state needs to borrow about N4 billion to pay its salaries.

"If civil servants wants N18,000 minimum wage, we will have to borrow about N6 billion. All our assets have been concessioned," he said.

What comes first, proper supply of electricity or hike in tariff, why are they punishing us in order to attract foreign investors? I have not had electricity for over a week, yet my bill will come at the end of the month. Our Government needs to stump up the cash to revamp the power sector first before they increase tariff, MTN provided service before giving us killing bills, the funny thing is if there is constant electricity, Nigerians will not grumble too much about the tariff (initially sha o).

Nigeria’s economy may overtake South Africa’s by 2025 to become the biggest on the continent as oil prices climb and consumer spending in Africa’s most populous nation expands, Morgan Stanley said.

Gross domestic product, which will probably reach $400 billion by the end of the decade, is forecast to increase 8.4 percent in 2011 and 8.5 percent in 2012, Andrea Masia and Michael Kafe, economists at Morgan Stanley in Johannesburg, wrote in an e-mailed report today.

Crude output in Africa’s biggest oil producer is estimated to climb 9.5 percent to 2.3 million barrels a day by 2012 from last year, while oil prices may average $113 a barrel over the next year, Morgan Stanley (MS) said. Rising wages and an increase in borrowing is also helping to boost consumer spending in a country of 150 million people, the bank said.

“The sources of output growth are broadening and accelerating, retail trade is vibrant and its financial markets are deepening,” Masia and Kafe wrote. “The economy is on a growth charge.”

Nigeria’s economy is forecast to climb to about $400 billion by 2016 from $268 billion this year, while South Africa’s is expected to reach more than $500 billion from $383 billion in the same period, according to the International Monetary Fund.

Economic Boom

South Africa’s central bank expects economic growth of 3.6 percent in 2011 and 3.9 percent in 2012.

Nigeria’s economic boom may push the market value of the equity index to $1 trillion in five years time from $74 billion currently, Oscar Onyema, chief executive officer of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, said today. South Africa’s bourse has a market value of $494 billion.

Minimum wages in Nigeria more than doubled to 18,000 naira ($114.69) a month before elections in April after remaining unchanged at about 7,500 naira since 2000, Morgan Stanley said. Public-sector wages are budgeted to rise 20 percent in 2011 and 10 percent in 2012, helping to spur consumer spending, it said.

The naira, which may strengthen to 153 against the dollar by year-end and 150 by the end of 2012, “should help to lift consumer confidence and support the retail sector,” Morgan Stanley said. The wholesale and retail trade industry accounted for 19 percent of GDP in 2010, higher than oil, which makes up 15 percent, the bank said.

Morgan Stanley recommends investors buy shares in Guinness Nigeria Plc (GUINNESS), Nestle Foods Nigeria Plc (NESTLE), Diamond Bank Plc (DIAMONDB) and Guaranty Trust Bank Plc. (GUARANTY)
