HealthRe: Do You Support Euthanasia? by larger20(m): 10:14pm On Jan 26, 2006
all of these are just changing or word in english language..the point remains that people who are in this state have something in common..they are so bably deriled that they cant competently be regraded as rational human beings..so the best hting is just to take the life of the person irrespective of wheather it is his or her request to end the life

Seun

I am launching a commercial website this summer after almost one year of research in the travel industry in the unites states. The ventures are J.P north america who will spend not less than half a millon dollar to develop the website.

Having said this, I will like to give you some tips:

The traffic you are getting on this website is just enough to track your progress.
Do you have a graph that shows trancendent increase in the number of subscribers?
With that graph you can do probability calculations and see what you are getting at in the next couple of months..

Few Sugestions for u.

Try contacting TV stations in nigeria, schedule a meeting with the top managers and discuss your website with them, Try and be persuasive when you speak to help in conviction and provide figurative examples like the traffic you get from the site. Ask them if they will be intrested in a trade by barter if you dont have money for advertising with them at this time. This is a very important step concidering that most nigerians watch Television and dont have computer at their homes...also nigerians with computer at their homes are likley to have television.

The trade by bater can come in the form of featuring your site to the public and have the news company conduct "Yes or No" questionarie about a situation in nigeria (CNN and other popular website do this). In return for their surport, you can feature their websites on nairaland home page and also give them few stake from the money you make in advertising. Sit down and relax and watch propulsion in the number of traffic you get per day and dont be surprise OBJ might join smiley
RomanceRe: My Ex-Boyfriend Insulted Me After I Did 'Shakara' by larger20(m): 11:23pm On Jan 25, 2006

My husband was there the two times and believe me I glad he was. He was an encourager and was there all the way, whenever I confessed negatively , he was contradicting everything, holding legs, rubbing my back etc. In fact if anyone asks him, he wouldn't have missed it for anything. He was strong througout . I couldn't have asked for any other person.
Wow Great..I like personal experince like this..I wouldnt be there though during my own time hehe

BusinessRe: Business Areas That Need Investment In Nigeria by larger20(op): 3:31pm On Jan 22, 2006
Mazi:
Thanks sbucareer,

But I forgot to give more details I am aware of, concerning Nuclear Energy.

The Nuclear Energy and Research center is located in the Abubakar Balewa University Kaduna, a university in Nigeria. Its part of their program, and there is a reactor currently running there, as we write.

On whether we understand Nuclear Science, you may want to know that Nigeria has the highest number of Nuclear scientists working in Naija and around the world, especially the US. Our level of Intellect is never in question in the world.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the same energy commission said Nigeria is committed to reusable energy by 2015. Research is going on in all forms of energy generation.

The professionals are very aware of the risks involved in Nuclear energy, that's why they are still researching on it, and I believe they'll come up with an energy development plan, the absence of which, we have power problems in the first place.

With the economy growing at an average of 8%, only an irresponsible govt like the past ones will go to sleep as regards planning for the future.


On your list of other forms of energy, Lagos state is planning a power plant from biogas, apparently taking advantage of the huge refuse in Lagos. I think its still in the planning stage. Not too sure.

In the northern part of the country, Solar power is widely used. I am even considering solar power in my place in Abuja. There is a lot of sunshine in that part of the country.

All the power plants being constructed in the south are based on Gas, one in Adamawa is a hydro plant.

On Wind, I am not aware on any project currently on.


Summarily, I am not comfortable with Nuclear Energy, and believe the experts will do a good job, on the best form of generating enough for now and the future.

PS: South Africa does have Nuclear Energy, so we wouldn't be the first in Africa.


Back to other areas on investments:


Communication:

The country is launching its communication satellite later this year, this is in addition to the one also being launched (not sure when) by a group of African countries of which Nigeria is also part of.

The satellite is supposed to hugely reduce satellite communication costs in Africa and promote integration within its members.

Already 10 African countries including Egypt and Ghana have indicated interest in having bandwith on the satellite.
The government has also indicated that the satellite is not totally a commercial venture, but a tool to promote African integration, hence bandwith is supposed to be very cheap for government institutions etc within Africa.

Once again, Nigeria playing the big brother role.

I believe the cost of Data Communication, Networking and Internet Access will reduce considerably with the use of the satellite by Banks, ISPs, GSM networks etc.




Transport:


One of the key areas like obong mentioned.

Infact the high cost of food items is believed to be hugely due to high transportation costs. That's why for instance pounded yam is a common stable food in the middle belt, but an expensive delicay in the south east. Meanwhile we have only a distance of less than 500kms between Imo and Benue.

I am aware that the FG has awarded a contract to dredge the Niger, after the initial contract was revoked. This will provide water way transport for goods from the north to the south.
I hope they will be focused this time.

With the water ways open, It'll be interesting to invest in boats or barges to convey goods on the route. It should be profitable.

Also the Lagos State govt has been talking about a metro line project in Lagos since 1999. Its been all talk no action.

The Chinese are looking at the railway with a view to reviving it. I hope something comes out of it.

Transportation is a major area, one needs to look into.
Mazi

I love your comments. You are hitting the nail on the head. Well taken

one lucrative business opportunity that u can do especially from a foreign land is DTH satellite TV.

Right now DSTV has a monopoly of the entire Nigerian Market. Trendtv that came up to give them some form of competition has simply gone to sleep. You can bundle this package with internet too but i suggest you do the TV one. DSTV charges as much as $40 a month for their basic package while Trendtv offered $20 for their scrap channels which has been off since december last year with no apologies or explanation.

You could also go into solar panel electricity packages for homes.
DSTV is not a humanitarian investment and since not every nigerian can afford it and it is not essential, it is disqualified. Something like power, health etc are fundamental human problem. For profit making initiatives or investors. This is quiet a good area to make money. Thanks though

hospital business is not going to fly without a properly implemented health insurance scheme. i pray the FG will put as much vigor as they put for the pension stuff. it is the health insurance that makes unconditional money available to pay doctors and for equipments. that is the reason why our hospitals have gone moribound...
that is a good point, well taken and noted
