Emefiele is Nigeria biggest problem and until he is sack we may remain in this recession for a longer time.

He is not sure at all about what to do, he is on demo on all major policy decisions he has made.

Emefiele is the number #1 problem of the Nigeria economy. Remove him and the economic woes will be gone.

I can develop the journal management platform for you. I am very use to open access peer review Journal platforms.

The Biafran police boss Ezike is a PDP loyalist and it is common knowledge that he doesn't want the APC.

It was a perfect move to remove him before the elections.

after this bill cow meat will be very expensive in Ekiti. All I see is more hunger for a people already feeling very hungry.

How reliable is BlackMarketNG.com?
Has anyone used their service before?

the CBN governor is really making things more difficult for Nigerians. An increase in interest rate will send the economy into more problems and a possible cash crunch is eminent.

you are talking about diversifying the economy but you are making access to capital more expensive. what an irony!

This government should please get to work and stop all this media brouhaha!
People are seriously suffering as a result of the current economic dormancy.

PDP mind your business!!!
PDP have more serious issues to deal with than meddling in APC.

What a useless government. Ekiti state is gradually sliding into madness with no single milestone project executed.
What a big joke!!!

You have supernatural powers to tackle Boko Haram but can't use it unless government fund it!
Na money you dey look for!!!!

The PDP is just learning how propaganda works but they are doing it wrongly.
Propaganda is not throwing up spurious allegations but mincing and spicing up facts.

Tinubu seem to always be in the side of Nigerians.
Diplomacy dictates we don't say things that will aggravate the already difficult conditions even the truth.

Kachikwu is a learner and he must learn to respect the masses.

Chinedu Okpalanma is a dedicated IPOB member, I wonder what he is doing with #IStandWithBuhari.

What is the total space in feet the building itself is taking. Will there be parking space in the compound given how small the plot of land is?

We have one partner now, 9 more to go.

Note
No investment is required, we are going to combine our skills to manage the technology. The final selection will be based on what you can contribute intellectually not money.

Is the activities of IPOB outlawed?

Most blog engines like Blogger.com are not really suited for the Nigerian blogger. The Nigeria blogger most times go into blogging to make quick cash and once there are no monetization sources on his blog he gets frustrated.

A blogging engine that automatically combines digital advertising platform and traffic generation engine will be a blast in Nigeria. Serving ads immediately blogs are created through the engine will greatly encourage bloggers.

Google adsense will most likely have lesser Nigeria ads because of the rising dollar to Naira exchange rate. Local advertising on local platforms will improve as a result of the wide margin between the cost of advertising on foreign platforms and Nigeria platforms.

If you are interested, drop reply. Just 10 of us will be enough to partner it successfully.

Btw:
I am a professional web application programmer and will handle all the programming while other team members will handle management and marketing.

Its laughable that most times when these mediocre blogs are set up, the first thing the bloggers look for is where to buy adsense account because Google will never approve such blogs. That approach is wrong, for a new blog the primary goal should be to produce quality & user friendly content that will help the blog build readership, believe me once you start getting traffic, naturally the money will come.

You are absolutely right. Most are even spamming forums and social media just to get traffic. You can get a million readers today but will they stay if what you are offering them is over recycled gossips and news. People ask for source always, can your blog stand as a source?

If you can't write authentical and high integrity articles, then you should be focusing on user driven online communities like forums. Let your user write instead while you moderate.

charsobodo:
I completely disagree with you @ OP, infact our blogosphere is still nascent with massive opportunity for growth & success. Just take a look at the Indian & U.S blogosphere then you know the true meaning of the word "overcrowded" & yet bloggers are still making it big time!

In the US, most blogs are dedicated to specialized niche and carries content with high integrity. Most bloggers are professional in the fields they blog about. Take for example Perez Hilton's blog, he is a columnist and television personality or Pete Cashmore's Mashable.com which is digital media blog which is in direct touch/contact with industry CEOs and founders of tech-startups.

Most Nigerian blogs are all crowded within a single niche and they are hardly making a living from it. I have worked with several bloggers and one factor I noticed about them is the urge to quickly earn money.

90% of Nigeria blogs are news or gossip blogs. We are yet to move above that.

You want it designed for you or you are looking for an existing software you can download?

The Nigeria blogging environment is over crowded and it is becoming very difficult to succeed as a blogger. There are very few creative blogs out there. Most Nigerians going into blogging do it for money and most times have little or no professional writing skills.

Most blogs recycles news and gist from known online media outlets and gossip blogs. We need to start thinking out of the box if we must start seeing major breakthroughs in our tech industry.

There a lot of opportunities for internet startups in Nigeria, we must start thinking and building propriety solutions online not just recycling gossips and news.

teamg,please can you elaborate on the maintenance you mean,because apart from the coding,hosting cost,i cannot envisage any other cost.maybe when the forum grows,they may be need for scaling up,yet i will love it if you clarify the likely invisible cost.thanks

Though there are basically no other cost managing a small forum with membership less than 50,000 members, you need to engage the programmer on a better contract to avoid him asking for more money when you start requesting for modifications.

New web projects usually would go through a lot of modifications as they are used. Engaging your programmer to be ready to give technical assistance for at least 6months with no extra cost will save you a lot of stress. Alternatively, you could use already developed forum technologies which have evolved and are very stable to avoid the challenges of regular updates, upgrades and mods.

I can assist you advance an already built forum technology to suit your goal within 7 business days. You can contact me through this email prononso@gmail.com to see some of the forums I have recently built.

N15k is perfectly fine with me. How do I transfer to you?

I want to sell both domains, interested buyers should make an offer as a reply to this thread.

I can bet my last naira that the only manner of preservation of capital value in a devaluation is commodities and real estate, and the very best commodity with the highest return will be physical possession of gold and silver.

Once the devaluation becomes official, a lot of real assets like lands, buildings, gold and silver will be re-evaluated and values will be astronomically high. Your savings in a bank will never be re-evaluated.

When the final throws of the collapse are upon us, people will be crying….”God help us”, but that’s why god gave us brains…..to help ourselves! Those of us who are stacking silver and gold are using those god given brains. Many more, 100 fold at least, will be frenzy buying later in the game and that’s when we will see triple digit silver.

The process of the devaluation of the Naira is already ongoing as the real sectors are already experiencing the impact of a weaker Naira.

Tactically, the Naira is already devalued, 90% of businesses are getting their dollar at a rate far higher than the official CBN rate. Even the banks are exchanging at over N350 to a dollar. Cost of goods and services are already on the rise and yet the masses are yet to be adequately informed of the eminent challenges that is about to come upon Nigeria.

It is time to protect ourselves from losing more than 50% of the worth of our savings. Inflation is steadily climbing as more and more businesses are factoring the fast changing currency regime to the cost of their goods and services.

See an excerpt of what a Brazilian experienced during their currency devaluation:

Major market for U.S. Dollars and the British Pound. Anyone would take them and it was a gray or black market.
When you were paid you immediately spent the paycheck. Banks paid an interest rate but it wasn’t enough to keep up with the real inflation.
They put heavy tariffs on any imports to protect their economy.

So while you could buy a pair of tennis shoes in the U.S. for $75, that same pair in Brazil could be upwards of $200 or $250. These tariffs applied to everything from cars, tires, auto parts, blue jeans, computers, toys, cameras, liquor, shoes, backpacks, vacuum cleaners, TV’s, washer and dryers, refrigerators, etc. If it wasn’t made in Brazil it was very expensive.

This hyperinflation created a lot of unemployment. This created a situation where kids were literally dumped on the street as young as the age of 5 and joined gangs. This is what created the major gang problems in Brazil which continue to this day.
Crime increased significantly including kidnappings for ransom.

Local food was still affordable but was expensive.

Simple things like gas prices were expensive. Plus they used a lot of locally produced alcohol in the gas and it was sometimes difficult to get the car started or they would stall.

The only thing that didn’t seem to get cut was the military. So while they had homeless kids everywhere the military kept on spending.

These private DISCOS need to first meter Nigeria before even thinking of increasing tariff.
Same corruption associated with the PHCN meter policies is what these private discos are exhibiting. You go to their office to get a meter, they will tell you to pay N25,000 yet they will still call it their property.

As part of the stake holders meeting, it was agreed that all DISCOS should give free meter to every home in Nigeria to stop the ills of estimated billing. fashola should first get the DISCOS to fulfill their end of the bargain before increasing the tariff.
