Wait APC said GEJ spent 2 trillion naira for elections??
As in 2 trillion naira ?? Do they know what 2 trillion is?? How much us the entire FG budget again, and how much does Nigeria make in a single year??

And any sane person believes this??

Bwahahahahahaha........

Do you know what oil money is

Nigeria is richer than they portray..

@op, Google is the Advertising Boss of the internet...

Even if a Nigerian owned it. They wouldn't put ads on it like this... Because they are advertising mafia of the web. Same with yahoo.

They have the best programmers in the world.

Linda ikeji already does what you put up there...

when the effect starts from the top it will ripple down. Then the nd can start weeding out the leaders within urselves that hold you hostage.

Your choice of words is bad

No one is holding me hostage

ehie:
amen oh.let oil producing regions be the first priority.

Bad leadership = bad infrastructures..

As long as Niger Delta has bad leadership that region won't improve.

Do a little reading on the web about solar power, that should suffice to give you a true picture of the challenges this form of technology faces.

Have you ever wondered why places that currently use solar power only use it for appliances that have a small load? Why do manufacturing firms not just use solar panels to power their operations?

It is a promising solution, true, but right now it isn't there yet.

It is used for much more... It is already there.. It can only get better...

ApexTitan:
Lol. If only that was how solar power works. Have you ever wondered why it not widely adopted as you would imagine?

Solar power involves solar panels and batteries and inverters for periods when sunlight is unavailable. The efficiency of the batteries and the solar panels themselves are just some of its bottlenecks. Though there has been considerable progress in this technology the amount of electricity generated per panel is still low compared to what you will get from gas plants.

Nope, the amount of electricity depends on the type of solar panel been used..

Nigeria needs to explore solar, wind and waste energy...

There is a company in china that sells solar panels to homes.. Some people living in rural abuja use solar panels donated to them.

ApexTitan:
For all it's promise solar power is yet to match gas powered plants in terms of cost.

Read your comments and understand yourself

getting energy from the sun only requires equipment that can absorb solar energy.. The same with Wind energy...

The cost is nothing..

PapaUwa:
solar energy isnt goin to cut it. It can only be used as a supplement and only in places like d north. Even in countries with d largest solar plants, solar power forms only a tiny fraction of the total power generated.

Secondly, building solar plants is quite costly compared to gas-powered plants. If I'm not mistaken abt 2 to 3 times the cost of generating the same amt of power.

Thirdly, solar plant is favored by country with little or no gas resources. Nigeria has more than enuff gas resources and dat should be d focal point of its power generation policy.

Individuals that have the money can buy solar panels.. and disconnect from PHCN..

The world is looking at and talking about renewable energy...

You're here talking about gas powered plants

SMH.

maclatunji:
Have you read the post at all?

They will be working at the very least for 6 hours a day at jobs that demand productivity.

As e-business and online retailing in particular expand in Nigeria and other emerging markets,, there is going to be the need for customer service, telemarketing, data entry and analyst positions to be filled.

This provides an opportunity to employ a lot of young people and remove them from poverty. I am suggesting that the incoming government actively leverages on this to create jobs.

Is it becoming clearer to you now?

Firstly, Nigeria's unemployment is more than 23%..

Secondly, Agriculture creates more jobs than tech hubs can ever create..

phlemzy:
And I see people shouting Gay! Sodomy! Homosexuality! all because American government is pledging support. How people manage to think that GMB will be manipulated & thereafter legalise all of those sh!t is what I don't get. Remember any such law still needs to get the approval of a certain fraction of the legislative chamber.

You mean the corrupt legislative chamber

owobokiri:
You see your life Nigeria? An american president wants to talk to an iraqi president, he calls him direct. An American president wants to talk to an Afghan president? He calls him direct. But when he wants to pass some instructions to a nigerian president, he deligates the job to either one lanky-out of sort-secretary of state or to his vice. Mind you Nigeria is the biggest economy in Africa, the biggest concentration of black people in the world, accounting for at least one in every five black people in the planet! Her size alone, her numbers alone, her pivotal regional clout over the years are enough to attract some respect from the so called 'first American black president. But Obama won't bulge! From day one, he has treated Nigeria with utmost levity while our cantankerous brand of wreckless oppossition with their NADECO styled type of oppossition lapped it up.

It is a diplomatic thunderous slap when the prime minister of Britain visits Nigeria and insists he will only meet Jonathan in Lagos and not the seat of power in Abuja. It amounts to a well crafted diplomatic insult, when an ORDINARY American sec of state is delegated to visit the Nigerian leadership, and he too insists on stoping at Lagos. When an ordinary diplomat starts awarding 'medals of (warped) honour' to Jega, our INEC cheif , at the middle of a general election, iit is a direct interference with our countrys domestic issues and should merit the diplomat in question the status of a 'persona non grata'! For eight years, Obama has avoided Nigeria like we are some kind of leprosy camp,, yet he salivates at every oppurtuinity to ridicule Nigeria. Even before he became president. He it was as a senator, who insisted that Nigeria must swallow the humble pie and surrender Taylor before Nigerias debt releif could be negotiated. He reduced President Bush HIV/AIDS subsidy drug for Africa. Infact Obamas has always biult his no nonsense character on the back of suffering African economies and people.

South Africa is the biggest economy and most developed country in Africa..

Of course its immature. Get it straight, games don't pay bills.

You're very ignorant

sCun:
Bro you don't understand. We have been hearing this for years, the article is even a 2014 article. I can bet anything that at the end of this year, not a drop of oil will be produced in Lagos.

Ondo is a state in the South West.

Ondo is also an oil producing state.

Ondo has been producing oil for years...

I don't see why oil discovery in Lagos is a big deal..

erico2k2:
I'm a mechanical Engineer, I can tell you that finding traces of oil in one field its not the issue but the sustainability and the economic relevance is what determines if you get oil out or not.have you stop for once and asked yourself why the USA only just began drilling Oil right about now also the UK inclusive?is cos they found cheaper ways of drilling these oils, now question, would it be cheap to drill oil in Lagos state? would the output compliment the overheads?these are what investors check B4 they throw their monies into ventures.Look at the ND with more than 50 years exploration, what has the region got to show for it?if you ask me,OIL is a curse rather than blessing..

Oil is a blessing

The leaders are a curse...

I don't know Nigerians always avoid blaming the leaders...

Lagos is okay today because Fashola did a below average work unlike Tinubu who let Lagos smell and kept it dirty.

Ambode is yet to work..

I just dey observe.

Let me tell u a short and true life story about a buddy of mine. same age with me and a vewi close fwnd. just like y'all moda4ckas, dis dude is gud with all these motivational quotes y'all saying up and down, using to give y'all self hope, deceiving urself that self employed is the key. self employed is in indeed the key buh the door the key needs to open is called Reality and you need to be an employee to raise that capital to get ur own biz with proper Saving, planning and strategy. this fwnd of mine didn't realize this and is still struggling up till date because he said he doesn't want to be an employee to anyone, forgetting he came into this world with wooden spoon. 80% of self employed needs capital and when you look at ur financial status, a rational person will know he needs to become an employee at first before actualizing his dream of being self employed by working for a couple of years to gather that capital. except you a sport man or an artist.

To be self employed, as long as you know what you're doing you only need an idea not money... Money would only make things easier.

I don't just know why children of now adays keep mixing motivational quotes with reality

Bhella5:
Story that touches the heart. No matter how you put it young graduates and even old self are doom in this we country. Self employment is good but where is the start up capital? You go to the bank for loan they'll ask you for collateral upon collateral. You apply for jobs they demand for 10years experience. How we go do na?!

Only you can hold yourself back,
only you can stand in your own way...
Only you can help yourself."

Tonnero23:
bro, you are actually correct, but if you take a closer look at that post, you will realise that all what you have said is embedded in it, it is not preaching about just getting anyhow thing, but what it is saying is that your course of study may not necessarily mean where u will build a career which implies that you can look inward and chart a better path for yourself. Thank You

The difference between school and life?

In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test.

In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson.

– Tom Bodett

Akposkool:
I kinda agree but what we should be preaching is specialization. Look employees are no longer interested in certificate, they want to see what you can do. Skill acquisition is the watch word here. Not thinking you are a Jack of all trade by reading medicine and applying for banking. Go for extra courses in your field, build your capacity and you can do it all. Do you think a certificate is enough? I beg to differ and stand to be corrected. Nigerians must indulge in specialization. Advising someone to apply for any type of job is not the answer because I bet you there are some register in that field that will take such a person months to perfect. Do you think big employees have time to train you from the scratch? Hell no, they believe you are already acquainted with the fundamental knowledge of the job. Skill acquisition and specialization is the answer. Stop preaching cut and nail doctrines. I stand to be corrected. Thank you

eleojo23:
You got it wrong.
(I will ignore the vulgarity of your statement and try to clarify)
Self development and self-employed are two different things. However the first may lead to the second.

Self development involves developing whatever skills you have or improving on what you know so that you have an edge over others in the job market. A person who has developed himself can decide to be self employed if he can raise the capital for start-up.

chances of success and failure. Just fix
your aim and begin."

Since your pple also migrate,why complaining on others who migrate to your place?

They don't respect the rules of the place they migrate to...

aikhimself:
I hope you are today living with the same pre - colonial history and the same houses and investment in the days when the Brits arrived.

Good to know that while Igbos are busy in all cities of the country investing and developing it in Businesses, you are busy sitting down laying claim and telling us the events of 120 years ago, just to proof point.

BTW we are not talking about what is sustaining the economy because on that area Igbos stand out also, but here we are talking about manpower, human development, investment etc.

You and your kinsmen can equally go to Aba or Owerri and invest instead of sitting down and laying claim of who own Lagos or not

Its very bad to leave a peaceful region and go and build in a place that is not commercially buoyant...

Most old Lagos Yorubas have sold their properties and moved overseas...

People migrate to places better than their region.

datalossvictim1:
Pardon my limited knowledge but are there any ports in the South East? And South south?

If not then the one needs to be built/developed in SE/SS states.

We need to start from there to reduce too much noise...

Calabar has a sea port... Its probably the first state to have a port. Rivers state also has a sea port.

Don't forget Rivers state capital is PORT harcourt..
