[quote author=pazienza post=32548568]Nigeria wasn't a bigger power than Biafra!

A lot of dynamics changed in the course of the war.

1. Ojukwu never expected to be fighting two super powers in Britain and USSR and then the Arabs in Egypt. he merely saw the war as Biafra vs Nigeria. He couldn't have predicted those unholy alliances.

2. He didn't expect the betrayal from some Eastern minorities, that led to the blockade of Biafra?

3. He never expected that the mass killing and starvation tactics the Nigerian Army were employing were going to be tolerated by powers that be.


Ultimately, when he realized that none of these unexpected odds were going to go away, he surrendered!

Now lets continue from no, 8 to n0 9


No,9 Social and cultural environment; Cultural environments consist of the influence of religious, family, educational, and social systems within the marketing system. Various features of a culture can create an illusion of similarity.

This also has to do with human relationship, religious tolerance, cultural history, and it influence the society to blend together.


Ibadan top the list with the influence of education (literature) and social systems within the market system. and that's the reason you see a lot of Nigerians and Expatriates coming to study in Ibadan special Yoruba literature. The Ibadan social system creates an illusion of similarity.

In fact all ethnic groups in Nigeria, Africans, Europeans, Americans, Asians ectera are all present in the city.


quote from an American student; I’m sure now they will actually understand what I’m talking about when I say going to Nigeria is literally like warping or teleporting into another world-the culture, the language, the infrastructure, the government, the weather, the food, the risks, and the enjoyments all contribute to an experience that is truly impossible to describe with words, pictures, and even video.

Olaone1:
Ajimobi and the term "right-thinking" are parallel lines. They can never meet. Ajimobi is anything but right-thinking. He will be voted out

are you seriou?

[quote author=Reference post=31384684]So the whole excersise doesn't make sense. If Portharcourt is less livable. Why more expats there. Shouldn't you say that as far as Nigeria is concerned, for the expats livability is all about the dollar and they gravitate towards the prime source - oil.


The IMCL(international marking cities livable) defines livable cities as QUALITY OF LIVING, rather than STANDARD OF LIVING. i.e you may be making alot of dollars but no quality of living. e.g Newyork, seoul, los angel, london, paris ecetara.

so, to have quality of living you need to consider 9 factors based on Mercer quality of living survey.


For me standard of living cities are; Abuja, Lagos, P/h.....

These cooler
temperatures have meant that, from colonial times
until the present day, Jos is a favourite holiday
location for both tourists and expatriates based in
Nigeria.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos.

You're right and no dispute about it. Jos should have top the list on categories such as; Natural environment and recreation but fall short in terms of Political and social enviroment, and Social and cultural environment. These two factors alone will always scare off potential investor/expatriate from Jos.

Op. What of Kingston College Ibadan Along Eleyele-Sango road ... A co-education (British,America curricula)

wow! that's awesome but i can't upload all the good schools now, because they are many.

you can do if you wish!

mmsen:
Is that something to be proud of?

What a strange 'accomplishment'.

Only foolish people would sit on a forum and brag about how many foreigners are in their vicinity to show how incompetent and short-sighted the locals are.

One of the major factors that makes a city livable for expatriate is Economics environment which can be divided into macroeconomic factors and microeconomic factors.

microeconomic factors influence how your business makes decisions. and the factors are; Market size, demand, supply, competitors, supplier and distribution chain such as retailers stores. and all these factors has to with Service ( economics ) e.g

Business functions ( consulting, customer service and human resources),

Financial services ( accountancy, banking and building societies, estates, tax...),

Education( school, library..),

Cleaning, repair and maintainance services ( gardners, janitors and mechanics ),

Construction ( carpentry, electrician, plumbine..),

Dispute resolution ( arbitirarion, court of law, diplomacy, lawyers, millitary, incarceration, law enforcement...)

Food service industry,

Health care,

Fabric care ( dry cleaning, self - service laundry...)

Entertainment industry

Hospitality,

Food services etcetera

are all controlled by the well trained and skilled competent locals in Ibadan.

However, majority of the locals also contributes to the economic through agricutural products and the manufacturing industries.

i will.continue tomorrow.

tivta:
. Have you been to JOS? I honestly doubt it cause if you have you will realize that's where MOST white men live.

[quote author=Egbagirl post=31372072]Biko OP, add ISI to your list of schools. If you're going to add BIS/BIC, then you need to include ISI. [/quote

Do you mean Ibadan international school in U.l?

mcchaka:
...How about JOS....JTown?

Well, Jos religious crises, coupled with terror attacks in the North have over shadowed all its potentials and that have ruled it out from the list.
