Who you Help?

Are you asking me? Na where you leave your brain? Receive sense, in Jesus name!

You can get 3-bedroom duplex for 30 million in Agungi or Osapa or Ikota without going through Ajah traffic. So review this your price downwards, my guy...

craziebone:
Not all Nigerians have a low self-esteem

You should have taken that picture of Costain - Ijora bridge in broad daylight, without any fancy lights or photoshop effect to show the craters, potholes and bumps on that bridge. Bros, that your photo of the bridge can lie, oh! I almost lost a tyre on that same Ijora bridge last week, while trying to manoeuvre out of a pothole!

tectonotimes:
To you, it has no meaning. But to the founders, it meaningful. Let me ask you this, what is the meaning of Nokia? Please, we do not need your opinion on our brand name that has gained universal acceptance.

It has gained universal acceptance? Where? In which countries, please? Kindly list them in alphabetical order....

Is there power supply in the estate?

tectonotimes:
It is a lie. Tectono is a geological name. The parent company of Tectono Business Review is Tectono Ventures Limited which was incorporated at the Corporate Affairs Commission in the year 2013. We are also into real estate. We have marketed properties for numerous estate surveying firms and other real estate players who are our clients.

The beauty of our services is that one you give us your property to market, be sure that we will get at least a buyer for you within few weeks. We have access to excess of 10 million people on the social media platforms.The people that read our publications several times in a day are the elites such as business tycoons, top politicians, captains of industries, CEOs and top managers of multinational companies etc.

So, give us your property to market and you will get buyers within few weeks.

What is a lie? I said the name has no meaning and you are saying it is a registered arm of Tectono ventures. Who cares? Was that the question I asked you?

craziebone:
i already have sense so anyother one would be Jara.

I do not like claiming this superiority thing. I am doing so now because my country is being dragged in the mud by those people who have little knowledge of it. The right thing to do here is to start a kind of pride-march. When black people's image was battered around the world, we need a 'black-power' to help us hold our heads abouve water. When gay people were being killed every where and the people felt shame for themselves, they needed a gay pride march to help themselves. I hope you get it now?

Hehehe.... is that what you call it? Pride-march?? Ok, I get it now. You have decided to engage in chest-beating about your nation, in order to make yourself feel good. Okay oh.... carry on! Continue to dwell in the realm of fantasy.

tectonotimes:
It is called Tectono. It is a business publishing firm like Harvard Business Review, Oxford Business Group, Financial Times, EuroMoney etc. The beauty of it is that Tectono Business Review is in Nigeria and publishes business news, business articles and adverts. You can checkout the website: www.tectono-business.com

Guy, look for a better name that will hold meaning for your audience. Tectono sounds like a description for a phone or a gaming gadget. There is a lot in a name.

What kind of a name is Techtono? What does it mean exactly?

Rhea:
Mentality?
You must be an importer/exporter.
You have the option of patronizing a business entity run by a rich family of expatriates vs patronizing hundreds of hardworking Nigerians who cultivate and sell what they produce. That way, you can encourage locally made goods and services instead of patronizing these oligarchs that continue to pillage our society in the name of development. The choice is yours and mine to make.

Don't you realise that the Oligarchs actually buy most of the local products they retail in their fancy outlets, from local businessmen who produce those locally made goods?

AreaFada2:
Very funny to site Shoprite in Onitsha.

It is a business town that offers everything fairly cheap.
It is also not like Owerri or Enugu with many schools that has thousands of Ajebutter students.

So who will buy at those outrageous prices?

And most of those fairly cheap things are extremely fake...

YonkijiSappo:
The richest city in Africa can't even keep a single shoprite branch outlet Afloat? LMAO
Even the ones in Akure, Ibadan and Ilorin are thriving, not to mention the numerous outlets in Lagos.
I always tell Nigerians, Igbos are more into informal and unregistered economy. Any attempt to bring regulation, formalisation and order to any Igbo dominated venture or towns , and only two things can happen:

*- Such effort will fail woefully, and they will continue with their "wuruwuru"/clandestine trading style.
*- The so called rich businessman will suddenly become poorer than a church rat.

See finishing..!! Chukwu biko!

Ipobians no get money na.. drug no dey pay again..dem don almost catch dem finish.. dat full wey dem full d shoprite wen dem just open am na for Selfie and picture.. Igbo kwenu!!!

You are a bad boy!! Hehehehehe.....

Origin:
Many houses including the 1004 and dolphin estate were prefabricated. That's like 30 years old in Lagos.

Una just like to de think say naija de backward.

Those Dolphin Estate houses and flats in Lagos Island were poorly finished,and they used to leak like crazy, anytime it rained! Chai!!

StOla:
I reckon Mr Director has enough fellow clansmen in prison with him.

A prophet once told him he will lead his people, but did not reveal in what capacity - that he will be leading the convicted Igbos of Kuje prisons.

In Nigeria, the minority cannot have their way, but in Kuje prison where they exist as a majority, Biafra is a dream come true.

I reckon this presidency, like Mugabe's, is a life term.

Una no go kill person with laugh for here!!

http://leadership.ng/business/550023/geneva-energy-firm-commences-bitumen-thipment-to-nigeria

...kindly help to console all Nigerians with this piece! We need to be reading good news at least once in a while to avoid losing complete hope in PMB Administration.

There is plenty of untapped bitumen deposits in Ondo State, yet our govt has not put in place infrastructure to refine and commercialise it. Instead, we are now importing the stuff instead of developing the bitumen deposits in our backyard.

May God deliver us all!

Osahon7:
I got this device delivered to me today.its a BB 9720 and oh yes I know of the NO WHATSAPP blah blah but the truth is,am a Heavy browser and Downloader,we all know the os7.1 devices have cheap data plans (BIS)as well as their unbeatable Data compression technology!!!imagine 1k for 3Gb + data compression can you beat that??lol

craziebone:
when we say through our stats that Nigeria's economy rose to be the largest on the African continent back in 2014, then it is because we CAN SEE WITH OUR EYES THAT OTHER SECTORS WHICH WERE NOT THERE IN THE EARLY 90S ARE NOW THERE TODAY. SECTORS LIKE ENTERTAINMENT, TELECOMS, RETAIL AND BANKING HAS RECIEVED BOOST.

the cynicism in the likes of you would keep you ignorant of the Fed Rep of Nigeria. This means you can't make the most the country has to offer, try all you can. If Nigeria were to be a basket republic, many world organizations would not have their regional head office in the Fed Rep of Nigeria!

Chai! May the good Lord deliver you from this myopia. Go and visit those African countries that have been mentioned & live there for a few months, before you come back online to start your moonlight tales. Using the rebasing of the economy as an excuse to justify your so-called superiority over other African nations which have better infrastructure, better life expectancy, better standard of living etc., is nothing but a joke! Drop this delusion that Nigeria is the giant of Africa. Receive sense, in Jesus name!

craziebone:
this is where the problem is. When other people quote stats, to you frustrated Nigerians, it is ok. But when we quote stats, then it doesn't reflect situations on ground. C'mon, its just a proposed bill and you are already begining to jump upandan.

craziebone:
now you are condemning paper stats. What exactly have people been using to put down Nigeria all these while?

Because the paper stats you quote for the Nigerian setting bears very little correlation to the actual reality on ground, unlike what happens in those other African countries quoted previously, where you can actually see the difference between what is quoted and what takes place in reality.

Visit those countries and do a reality check. Verify before you start refuting facts that exist within their borders, which is even obvious to a blind man!

nwamehn:
Nnaa, I'm far high above engaging u in an e-battle. Maybe before u quote someone next time or try to engage the person in an e-battle, u try to do a little check on the person to know the type of person he actually is. My brother, I can't be struggling so hard to put food on my table and I will still have mouth to defend Nigerian politicians both past and present when they aren't performing. With the level of bad leaders Nigeria has been producing since 1960 up till now and the level of suffering they have been inflicting on the masses they are elected to lead, it's only a fool that would continuously support and defend any of them both past and present without being paid to do so. If u want to commend ur president for a good work he just did, very understandable, but continuously defending him when the economy is in shambles is the height of it. So, pls, carry ur e-battle and swerve, abeg, I no dey ur level.

Best post of the week! Collect two bottles from Mama Nkechi's shop down the road! All drinks are on me...

Love Machine:
This woman is a sell out.She has abandoned madam oby ezekwesili and BBOG group.Why has she not being participating in BBOG protesters? Traitor.

Guy, make you check am well now. She used the BBOG Group as a platform to launch herself into the spotlight and gain relevance. It was a strategy that paid off well for her. I pray the same good fortune will smile on Oby Ezekwesili, too!

Kenya Power will now be required to pay customers who have their power supply cut for over three hours within a day, this is according to the Energy Amendment Bill 2015 approved by lawmakers on Thursday.

According to the new rule, the power company must issue an alert of at least 24 hours before power supply is disrupted.

"...a licensee shall be liable to compensate a consumer where due to power outages, poor quality , irregularity of electricity supply or negligence, the consumer incurs financial loss; suffers from physical injuries; or any other case," the bill read in part.

The Bill indicates that Kenya Power must pay compensation that is equal to the loss and damages incurred.

"The amount paid as compensation... shall not be less than the amount the consumer would have paid the licensee, for power consumed for the period during which there was a power outage,"

However, the proposed law will not cover customers if the power outage is as a result of rains, floods and other natural causes.

Hehehe... I beg make I dash you 1,000 likes for this post. Eko Disco and their brethren in other states will never emulate this kind of gesture, and yet we call ourselves the giants of Africa! Am laughing at our people who love quoting statistics that is not reflected in our daily lives, and do not translate into a better quality of life for most of our citizens. I laugh in Greek!

Pavore9:
Maybe you are allergic to ease of international inflow.

Shebi FFK say Kenya is behind Nigeria in all aspects but Kenya is 25% of the population of Nigeria and is presently generating 2300MW, is Nigeria generating 9,200MW as at today?

According to the latest WHO data published in 2015 life expectancy in Nigeria is: Male 53.4, female 55.6

http://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/nigeria-life-expectancy

http://guardian.ng/features/nigeria-with-54-5-years-on-lowest-life-expectancy-list/

According to the latest WHO data published in 2015 life expectancy in Kenya is: Male 61.1, female 65.8

Kenya’s retail sector ranks as second-most formalised in Africa (Second after South Africa)

http://www.oxfordbusinessgroup.com/news/kenya’s-retail-sector-ranks-second-most-formalised-africa

South Africa can form boss in Nigeria with Shoprite but Kenya's Nakumatt made sure Shoprite disappeared from the East African region because Shoprite was bringing nothing new that Nakumatt was not already offering, so Shoprite sold their outlets in Tanzania and Uganda to Nakumatt, they didn't even have the liver to enter Kenya in the first place!

Nigeria has a huge market where Shoprite can bring in made in South Africa products to sell but could not attempt that lopsided business model in Kenya!

You did post somewhere that Nigeria is the largest user of internet in the continent, Yes l agree with you but only by number because of population not percentage!

From the table in the link below.

http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats1.htm

Nigeria has 92,699,924 Internet Users as at 30-Jun-2016 which represents 51.1 % Penetration (% Population)
Kenya has 31,985,048 Internet Users as at 30-Jun-2016 which represents 69.6% Penetration (% Population)

Nigeria is 4 times the population of Kenya, so Nigeria should have at least 127,940,192 users but it is still lagging at 92,699,924! It means we need over 35 million more Nigerians to use the internet in order in to meet up with Kenya's present penetration!

Statistics is really sweet!

Hehehe.... I dey like this kind analysis. Oya, wey my mat make I siddon for dis side dey enjoy the gist? You forgot to add that Nakumatt also runs 24-hour retail services which the likes of Shoprite have not been able to do in Nigeria, despite their sophisticated shopping complexes! What does this translate to? More jobs. And they run 3-shifts for their employees and have managed to double the number of staff on their payroll in every community where they operate.

denisfidha:
All in all, there's gotta be something working for kenya. maybe a combination of business environment, bussiness laws, availability of reliable infrastructure, power supply, availability of educated skilled labor , governance, quality of life, geographical location connected by airlines to the rest of Africa..
Because there are so many multinationals that choose to either launch or set up their HQ in Kenya.

Add to that, Kenya is the only country in the developing world that has a UN headquaters, the UNEP- it has powers to call a heads of state meeting of all UN members...
Also because of the many multinationals bieng HQ to the UN, many foreign embassies also have lots of staff---some have more staff than any other embassy on the continent... the likes of BBC,CCTV, also have their biggest bureau by staff in kenya


All these companies must be choosing Kenya for some reason...

1st pic swedish largest embassy worlwide in nairobi
2, US embassy largest in africa (by staff) in nairobi
on pic 3 -avg internet speeds in M.east Africa 1st quater of 2016 (they mixed the flags of SA with turkey)

Thank you, oh! I don talk this thing before, but some deluded clowns were calling me 'unpatriotic' simply for comparing Kenya with Nigeria and trying to point out that we can do so much better, if only we stop beating our chest about being the giant of Africa and get down to actually put in place processes, systems and infrastructure that actually work!!

Other African countries that have gotten it right in certain critical sectors, should be emulated and not scorned!

We've seen many Nigerian youths and some
unpatriotic and ignorant adults like Reno Omokri
on social post shallow and unintelligent pictures
of of Minister of communication and another
man from Kenya for some illogical and irrational
comparisons about looks and fashion.
1. Nigeria is the dominant ICT hub in Africa,
many times larger than Kenya
2. Nigeria has more ICT investments in that any
other country in Africa including Kenya
3. Nigeria has more ICT entrepreneurs and HUBs
than Kenya
4. Nigeria's ICT innovations from online
businesses to Job and recruitment engines are
the largest in Africa
5. Facebook CEO and founder just 1 day in
Kenya, but spent several days in Nigeria
engaging not only the ICT side of our economy,
but also entertainers, digital businesses and
marketers and film makers and even returned to
Nigeria for more ICT events and dialogue with
the Leadership in Nigeria.
6. Facebook CEO himself personality invested
tens of millions of dollars in our ICT sector
which is a strong affirmation and believe in our
strong ICT economy.
Kenya is nowhere close to Nigeria when it comes
to ICT so of what relevance is what their ICT
person looks like or what he wears.?
Looks and fashion is not a sing of greatness or
smarts, me dressing and looking better than you
doesn't mean I'm smarter and more successful
than you.
For our ICT to be better than Kenya several
times over, it means we have better ICT
environment than Kenya and the rest of Africa.
What is driving such ignorant ICT sentiments
from the likes of Reno Omokri and many ignorant
and thoughtless Nigerian youths is inferiority
complex, ignorance and low self esteem.
While many Nigerians including the ICT sector
are working hard and contributing to our
economy and our greatness, these shallow
characters with inferiority complex are busy
crying and worrying about looks and fashion..
Nigeria is great and so it shall remain regardless
our challenges...

All those your yeye paper statistics that do not hold meaning in the real world, and do not translate into improved standard of living for the citizenry. mtcheew! Go and live in Kenya for two months then come back & compare the difference before you start yarning crap!

Bolustic:
How does the economy affect an artist ability to compose, write and sing songs? Must you people wail at every instance.


Are the below mentioned not making waves in the same Nigerian economy?

To me, Chidinma looks like a flash in the pan. God only blessed her by crowing her the winner of MTN Project Fame. Hard work, not make ups and beauty sustain and maintains success.

What do you mean by "How does the economy affect an artist ability to compose, write and sing songs?" After writing the songs, will she keep it under her pillow? Won't she go into a studio to record, produce, distribute and market the songs? All these things cost money! Do you know how much is being charged by recording studios per session?

Chai!! Is this chap a soothsayer? Or was he pronouncing a curse? Okay, he should explain his comments to provide more clarity.

Alright, let every Nigerian answer these JAMB Questions, first:

1. Who are those that took us forward? PDP or APC?

2. Who are those moving us backwards? PDP or APC?

3. Who exactly are those with the record of visible achievements and beneficial reforms? APC or PDP?

4. Who are the desperate power seekers with empty promises?

Every correct answer gets 50 marks! And one free bottle of Zobo. You have just one hour to complete this exam...

Once you have submitted your answer sheets, we shall discuss and analyse those who gave us freedom, by comparing them with those who offered repression. Stay tuned for part 2!

blackprowler:
You're dumb without knowing it. I just described your type in my post. Go and check the world's human development indices of several world organisations monitoring these things. Have you heard of "per capita" anything? What family do you want to belong to as a child: a family of 4 with 40,000 naira income or a polygamous, loud-mouthed family of 4 wives 25 children (total 30) with 80,000 naira income? Your country has had free money almost its entire independence and you rank amongst the poorest countries in the world that never made a dollar from oil. You're like Goodluck Jonathan that says Nigeria is doing great because we have such and such number of private jets. I can not begin to go into detail here and I don't think you deserve such gratuitous exertion on my part. NIGERIA IS A CASE OF HUMAN TRAGEDY!

Hehehe.... I don talk say I no go laugh today, but...

YourNemesis:
Check per capita GDP In kenya and compare to Nigeria.
Don't be deceived by the face of Nairobi in a one city country.

Mombasa, nko?

CSTR2:
I doubt that Mr femi.
Their economy is more sophisticated, more diversified, though smaller. Their ICT sector is probably the best in Africa.
Their Currency is competing favourably with the dollar right now, and the standard of living is increasing steadily.
Nigeria is the complete opposite.

Tell dem jare! Their power supply is 10 times more stable than that of Nigeria, and their cities are better planned. Their roads, nko? You wan try? Even their airport - is far better by far, than the one we have in Naija, far cleaner and more efficiently run. Don't forget, their own national airline Kenya Airways is still flying. Wey our own?

toye440:
You my brother needs to commit more time to research, we may b in recession now but am telling u d fact here we only trail behind south Africa and Egypt Nigeria is now Third largest economy in Africa. And talking abt IT haba, bro Nigeria remains d biggest Telecom market in Africa y u think say Mtn no gree leave.
pls that things r difficult doesn't mean we r not better off, if u doubt me pls try leave in Kenya for just a week maybe u will appreciate Nigeria.
to cut the story short OBJ threw his own bomb shell earlier today wen he said and I qoute " Nigerians r deviating from what they were morally taught, respect d less privilege ones".......OBJ

You have obviously never lived in Kenya before, otherwise you would realise how silly you sound. In fact, if people like you get the opportunity to live in Nairobi for one week, you will refuse to come back to Nigeria. Don't use Google as your Bible. Go there physically and verify!

TheMascot:
you see.. U just put ur self lower than them.. How can thier economy b better than ours when only dangote is richer than the country.. Nigeria has the 3rd best ict sector in Africa behind SA and Egypt.. How is thier currency competing with dollar? 1$=150ksh.. Standard of living when they are dependent on tourism and Olympics.. Inferiority complex will kill you if you don't keep it in mind that Nigeria is still the greatest black nation despite our hardships..

Stop deluding yourself. Go and live in other African countries like Namibia, Botswana, Mauritius, Kenya and South Africa and you will realise that Nigeria is not the greatest black nation, just the nation with the largest population and the biggest mouth!

blackprowler:
Let me just add a footnote here. For those who accuse people like me of hating their country or their race or tribe or any other stupid box they create by themselves to put you in: when you love something and wish for it to excel and that thing wilfully frustrates you, you would be the worst fool to join the delusion and say all is well. It is that stupidity that has perpetuated black man in the sorrows that have defined his existence.

"The whole world is my country; all of mankind are my brethren; to do good is my religion" - Thomas Paine
