Nigeria’s export boom gathers pace with $1.2 billion earned in just five months | Business Insider Africa https://share.google/mNAuP9T29cDKvARsr


While you are here trying to create a narrative. Only a mad person will try to stop the momentum already created in the economy.
Who do you think in making money from these exports, Ghanians?

Trustyourself:
If you say "come", a Yoruba child won't understand unless you say "wa"

How come they even got up to 51%?

I wonder o. Yet, when you hear of Nigerians doing wonders academically all over the world they are often Yoruba.
Something is wrong with your 419 statistics.

This is how he lied against Afe Babalola and nearly got himself jailed.
Dele is Obidient and we know how they lack home training.

I guess he is not taking their jaabs.

She should forget that God forsaken country.

Lovit:
Why is your wife not frying Akara?

when it is time to share juicy position, recruit for NNPC, DPR, CBN etc. they share it among themselves, but when police work comes out they start calling on the public to apply

Their weaponization of poverty is the problem here, if the economy were good, only those who loves to trade akara will do such jobs

our parents won't do it because that's the only option they have to survive

If you must know my wife is making millions of Naira today, she sold pure water as a child. There's dignity in labor. What the first lady was trying to convey is not taught in schools.

Lovit:
That Tinubu's daughter that's gay in the abroad should be encouraged to start this Moi Moi business since it is profitable

In fact all Bayo Onanuga's children should drop out of school or quit their jobs to start Akara business

There is nothing wrong in doing those businesses anyway, the problem here is the dishonesty of the person who passed the message

Remi Tinubu shouldn't be the one to say such!

Dishonesty is what sense? What she said was a lie?
Laziness and lack of imagination are the problems of today's young generation.

warrah:
Where are your own piglets?? Abi you don't want to become rich?

Of course I do. But I am not wailing like you. I am doing something about it and I am seeing great results. I don't ask for handouts and wail all day long on the internet.

While Chinese youths are learning AI the wife of Nigerian President is telling us to start frying Akara business and corn roasting.

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, made headlines after a video surfaced of her advising citizens that starting small-scale businesses, such as frying akara (bean cakes), roasting corn, or making kuli-kuli (peanut snacks), does not require much capital.

One thing she didn't say is that you shouldn't go to school. The richest farmer in China is worth more than $15 billion dollars and he started with only 22 piglets.
Someone like you will roast all of them saying you are it all because you were hungry.

YorubaPrince:
Hear maddd people dey defend nonsense.

Ignorance is bliss truly. There's no point trying to teach people who are not willing to learn.

No matter how you dice it keeping the subsidy is to completely ruin Nigeria economically. Much like what happened to Zimbabwe.

DoTheNeedful:
I hope Nigerians who can't see beyond government's ownership of enterprises can learn something from this information.

There is a strong correlation between the economic growth of any nation and the number of billionaires it has. As the Chinese economy grows, the number of billionaires in China grows. It is the case in any economically buoyant country.

The economy of most working countries in the world are run by entrepreneurs who are able to deploy capital into various sectors of their economies. These entrepreneurs are usually big dreamers and ambitious.

Nigeria has a few like Dangote, Otedola, Abdul Samad Rabiu, Adenuga, and even Elumelu. Nigerians don't appreciate these people due to jealousy, and the uninformed belief that large scale businesses should be owned by the government. Unknown to many people, Nigeria need many of these big dreamers for us to thrive economically as a nation. We need them in large scale commercial farming, power generation, information technology, hi-tech engineering, real estate, healthcare, and so on.

One of the reasons we don't have constant power in Nigeria is because we don't have enough private sector participation in generation. We have been conditioned to think that it is only the duty of the government. I used to believe it too, until I conducted a research on power generation in most developed countries, and I realized that most are driven by the private sector. In fact, with the exception of the US, the top capitalized companies in many advanced stock exchanges in the world are utility companies.

The US is nothing without the private sector. The best universities (Ivy League + MIT , Stanford e.t.c) in the US are private. The best hospitals like Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, e.t.c are private. The largest employer of labor in the US are private companies. The electricity used in most homes are provided by the private sector.

We need to embrace the private sector more in Nigeria for the country to work better.

God bless you. This simple logic is what Mrs. Tinubu was trying to convey but the usual suspects immediately went to town with their usual nonsense.
Imagine Sao Paulo alone with 41 billionaires. Amongst these are poultry farmers, cow ranchers etc. Some of the industries Nigerians will look down upon.

Mbanda:
Databoi tell your goddess to look into the points below.

What we need more than anything in Nigeria is a change of attitude. How can anyone convince a creature like you that some of the biggest companies in the world had very humble beginnings.
Jeff Bezos started Amazon in his garage for example.
Trust me, handouts are not the best way to go. Unfortunately, you may not truly understand this until you are old and grey.
If you don't want to grill corn perhaps you can pop it, there are businesses making millions from it. Of course you wouldn't know.

Mrs. Tinubu should have told them what they like to hear. She should have said there's unlimited amount of money on the internet just waiting to be taken with little or no effort.
She should have encouraged them to explore crypto currency and various online schemes.
Quick money is what most young Nigerians are looking for.

christejames:
Mrs Jezibel should have asked if they people have money to even buy akara and roasted corn 😏

Garbage comment. I bet you couldn't read the Chinese language she used in describing how her office provides grants for people. Is it even her responsibility to provide grants?
A system where people rely on hand outs is a system working against your natural instinct to survive and provide for yourself and your offsprings.
Many of you have a warped idea of what the government should be doing for you.

FatimaAbubakar:
The news sweet me for belle no be small. The way those Fulani guys dealt mercilessly with Sunday Igboho errand Boys. Lol. More to come

Only a twisted terrorist sympathizer would see Sunday Igboho as the bad guy here.

budaatum:
My Osun State too?

Our capacity is small at the moment. We can't even pay teachers, and have to rely on Youth Corpers, so I doubt we'd be spending money on "superior ammunition and guns included amord tanks, gun helicopters", and I doubt our criminals will stay in our state and not go bother other states.

I hope they think this through.

Pay teachers or have no teachers at all because the schools will be empty if children are being kidnapped.
What are the things important to you? I would suspect these are the things you would focus on.

CSTRR:
The strong prey on the weak. That's the law of the world.

The only benevolent superpower in history is the United States.
So much power, and yet with so much self control, thanks to democracy and judeo-christian beliefs.

The chinese have no such moral impulses.

They will teach you the law of the Jungle.

Btw, Nobody is stopping black people from becoming rich.

It's not the Chinese that asked you to elect crooks.

Blame your low IQ.

Look at someone talking about IQ! What has any leader got to do with the blatant racism being displayed by these Chinese?
Are black people in the US, Canada, Brazil etc where their leaders are not crooks affected by this?
When westerners looked down on the Chinese and called them peasants were the Chinese electing crooks?
My friend you have no business talking about IQ.

The Chinese "peasants" are now rich. They must now act exactly like those who used to deride them.
Black folks have no real friends in this world.

Thank God, finally.

Ofunaofu:
How can a 70-year-old senior domestic servant of Aso Rock Villa see the hunger, insecurity, and deaths Nigerians complain about when he's insulated from all three?

When Amaechi, a minister for eight years suddenly comes out to say he was hungry.
You don't need to be Einstein to know he was lying and he wasn't the only one.

The Obidient movement is built on lies, bullying and violence.
No candidate connected to it can go anywhere in Nigeria.

Can someone please help me to translate this to English? "Sigidi to fe sere ete"

datola:
The government is fully in support of the protest but they are afraid of the violence it might turn.

South Afruca is still Africa afterall!

You are absolutely right. But we all know it will turn violent. Can something this big happen without looting? I don't think so.

The challenge will not be who should be there but who shouldn't.
Jonathan and everyone in his administration except Iweala will be there.
The market woman who use a container with a false bottom to measure your garri in the market.
The policeman who extort more than protect citizens.
Hospitals and clinics etc etc.
We need a complete re orientation in the country.

Ofunaofu:
Back then, many of you were convinced it was targeted at Tinubu because of his bullion vans vote buying and refused to see the bigger picture. The policy wasn't about one politician; it was about reducing cash hoarding, promoting transparency, formalizing the economy, and making it harder to fund crimes like kidnapping and other forms of insecurity with untraceable cash.

Now the same policy that was maligned, crucified, and used to demonize Emefiele is being considered for reintroduction because its benefits are becoming harder to deny.

Turns out the biggest problem wasn't the policy itself, it was the politics and hysteria surrounding it.

Emefiele did not introduce it to curb ransom payment. What you are doing is called spinning.

Seriously? Did he turn to Evita Peron overnight?
"Don't cry for me"

Amateur politician. How did he get to become a governor?
Rufai Oseni was asking him softball questions and he still couldn't answer them!

dermmy:
Lols.. And Trump was bragging that US have plenty reserve when his allies refused to help him open strait of Hormuz.

"Let everyone go get their oil, we have a huge reserve" -Trump

He was talking about stolen Venezuelan oil.

Fejoku:
Very true. Commonsense demands that all sensible people support Igboho in fighting against the terrorist killing people in his reason. The same commonsense demands that every reasonable humans indigenous to the boundary within Nigeria demand the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu because almost all he prophesied about Nigeria has been fulfilled. He with benefit of foresight was justified to have formed the ESN to flush off Fulani militias from the Eastern forests. Since the Nigerian military has decided to be in collusion with Fulani militias against villagers from all other ethnic groups, then the emergence of ethnic militia groups is welcomed.

Nnamdi Kanu did not apologize for saying 'a good Yoruba man is a dead one" I don't see any difference between his ideology and those of the terrorist kidnappers.
