Genius100: There are a lot of Ignoramuses and mo-rons on this thread..

The US owes $16 trillion in debt... As long as the state/country can generate enough money to repay the debt and as long as it's obvious what the debt is being used for, it's no big deal..

But let us also be realistic,using US to measure is rather far-fetched;the very reason US has done that an still standing,is because Dollar is the world's legal tender,simple put.e.g,if a country is owing the US,that country wud need buy the dollar to pay,but if the US is owing any country,all they need is to print the dollar to pay,so in reality the USA is owing nobody.

mapet: 1. Ok. so that we do not argue on fallacy but rather on facts. I also want to be educated. Please do itemize all "no good" these two institution have never done any country. List all the alleged bad or damages they have done to countries.

2. Nigeria is nowhere near the BRICS, neither anywhere near joining, just an aspiration. To the best of my knowledge, it is even the Lagos State Government that had recently started that aspiration for BRINCS with the previous economic summit. There are formal procedures for joining or being part of BRICS and South Africa only made it in 2010. The recently rebased GDP, which I believe have not yielded consequent economic indicators to classify us either as a developing or industrialized economy, itself is not a justification. South Africa went through rigorous scrutiny to make it to the BRICS, mere rebasing your GDP is useless to the effort. The last I check all members of BRICS are members of G20, is Nigeria a member?
If u know the antecedents of IMF AN THE WORld BANK u won't say such,those two practicaly destroyed the economies of south East Asian countries,the "asian tigers",u forgotten?the current one ,Argentina is held by the jugular by the same Institutions.

BRICS is just a name given to those countries by an economic analyst ,Jim O'Neill of Goldman sach,so if Nigeria joins tomorrow,the acronym will simply change to accomondate the letter "N".an membership is just a matter of GDP and estimated growth,u don't need to bring"goat an kola nut" to do so,u can do ur research again.

what does azikiwe mean in any northern language?
Azikiwe is his surname ie his father's name, so, was how can a his fathers name be northern?
Azikiwe is Igbo word, azi is greater than Iwe.
It seems u r bent on arguing over somtin u cannot defend,so wt is the meaning of "azi" in Ibo?
An how many ibo people have u seen bearing that name?an I can bet u that Jonathan bears the name as an appendage..an not from birth,just uses it for political gains.the name "AZIKIWE"is hausa in origin,before u argue,plz do a research.

Wen did u start following Tech news?wen did Samsung start making their GALAXY series,before IPAD or after


Well for the records......







How can you copy what you produce? Lol
Very childish question,wen did Samsung start making GALAxy range of products,before IPads or after? SAMSUNG blindly copies APPLE from design to finish,for ur info,APPLE HAS WON CASES against Samsung out the USA,E.g,in Germany an Australia. Another point of correction ,Samsung does not produce apple parts,wt they produce is memory chips,an APPLE can decide to buy from another supplier

Largest Companies by Market Cap  

Share on facebook Share on google_plusone_share Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on wordpress Share on blogger Share on tumblr Share on email More Sharing Services





Market Cap Definition: Market cap (i.e. market capitalization) is the total market value of the company's outstanding shares. To calculate a company's market cap, you simply take the current stock price and multiply it by the total number of shares outstanding. For example, if Apple (AAPL) had 935 million shares outstanding and its stock price was $570 per share, its market cap would be $532.9 billion (935 times $570). Market cap is often used by investors to obtain a quick estimate as to a company's overall value. Investors will often use market capitalization as one factor in determining a prospective stock purchase. For example, an institutional investor may want to limit their stock purchases to companies with market capitalizations greater than $5 billion in order to ensure sufficient liquidity. Stocks are often categorized by market cap: large-cap ($10 billion or more), mid-cap ($2 billion-$10 billion), small-cap ($300 million-$2 billion), and micro-cap (less than $300 million).

Largest Companies by Market Cap Table Decription: The following table lists the 50 largest companies by market cap (available on major US stock exchanges). The table includes: company ticker symbol, company name, market cap rank, and market cap (in billions of dollars) as well as the stock's one-day, one-month, and 12-month percent change. For summary statistics of these 50 largest companies by market cap as well as how they compare to the Dow, simply scroll down to view the summary table.

PoliticsRe: Lagos Owes $1bn Of States’ $3bn External Debts by fairheven: 5:09pm On Sep 05, 2014
mapet: @Musicwriter,

I respect your opinion but totally disagree. You don't blame your inability or lack on the next person. Just like a case of 2 folks that started out at the same time, one went to school and the other did not. The former went on to own a supermarket and the latter came in and started complaining that his goods are way too expensive and that he's taking advantage on him because he has no where else to go.

My simple analogy above, may not be as simple in the reality but the sense of it subsist. First off, we need not drool on our current state but move progressively toward development. God willing with proper management, we also should strive to get into the realm of the BRICS, where our economy will be robust and we can also be part of syndicate that give out loans

I also think the world bank and IMF have been much more agent of good. If you look at the areas where these loans are targeted in Lagos state from the report for starters, Education, Water, Roads and Infrastructure etc, then it should tell us it is to the benefit of common man. But why are we bothered about World bank and IMF while right under our noses, the monies that can assist in all these areas are taking flight left, right and center... right under our nose the FG are yet to account for $20billion, which as Fashola stated, could have been used to increase our power generating capacity to over 10GW.
IMF AN WORLDBANK agents of good,serously?Those two institutions have never done any country any good.
Nigeria joining the BRICS,Technically Nigeria is already there;South Africa is part of BRICS,an by GDP Nigeria has overtaking South.

So, he did what he was supposed to do as President and yet he celebrates it as though
he engaged in an extraordinary accomplishment? Nigeria is the only place where people
celebrate accomplishing tasks set in their job description. Ordinarily, they would not
perform any task at all. Thank God for Jonathan doing the job he is being paid to do. He
thinks he is doing the Igbo people a favor. Well, if the Igbo people feel that he is doing
them a favor then they deserve to be treated with political disrespect for their lack of
political consciousness and sophistication.

Very true. The Igbo nation is the main beneficiary of Goodluck Ebola Jonathan’s
Administration. No surprise because he himself belongs to the Igbo ethnic stock. After all
Ebele (Ebola) and Azikiwe are neither Hausa nor Efik names..
Error no:1."Azikiwe is not an Ibo name
