PoliticsRe: Is Nigeria Really Broke? 3 Key Palpitating Questions. by mikolo80: 3:31am On Aug 17, 2016
kinibigdeal:
Prior to the 2019 election, president Buhari assures the Nation that he still possess the magic of the 80's in making Nigeria one of the best economic Nation in the world. Unfortunately, many of those promises had suddenly turn to an heresy.

However, the recent comment by the president on the state of the economy is quiet appalling which necessitates these 3 key questions.


1. Some months ago, the president told Nigerians that the recovered loot is large enough to fund our budget. Since we proposed to borrow money to fund our budget, this means the huge recovered loot are still intact for economic use. Where are this funds?

2. The minister of Information once told us backed by the finance minister that the TSA gathered so far is about 1Trillion naira. What is the purpose of this fund?

3. Minister of state for petroleum highlighted the numbers of barrel we are producing per day to about 1.2 million thereabout, if you multiply 1.2million barrel $48 by 30 × 12 months we get a reasonable input. Where are this funds channel to? custom alone generate 2 trillion naira in a year, let alone our port authorities. Where are this funds channel to. Is Nigeria really broke?


My take

With the state of the economy where money is not fully in circulation, what is the purpose of keeping those funds while Nigerians suffers hunger. From the police, civil servants etc are exposed to months of unpaid salaries while we have some money kept in some coven for "Mirage use".
oil company gets Lion share of the 1.2 billion down from quota of 2.1 billion mind you.

LiteratureRe: Bibliophobia; The Moribund Art Of Reading by mikolo80: 7:50am On Aug 16, 2016
darkenedrebel:
And now, with the advent of the internet and its glittering concomitants, which has made information easily accessible to all and at laser-quick speed, one would expect an 'oil boom' in the reading department, or a generation of readers if you will.

Unfortunately, a downward trajectory in academics is the phenomenon de jour. Youthful hands that are meant to fan the embers of scholarship have been diverted and put to use in areas that border on the mundane, inconsequential and unproductive: ranging from petty Twitter squabbles to mindless Facebooking and celebrity gossips, to mention but a few.

If you tell a teenage boy that "the pen is mightier than the sword'', his rejoinder would most likely be: "Yes, I agree, but the blitz of Instagram is mightier than the pen".

The activities of our lovely ladies must also be brought to the front burner—the ones among them that regard books as an anathema, but idolize the 'selfie stick' the same way Mozart reverred the Harpsichord. Word on the street is that a certain Naija babe is prohibitive favourite to clinch the Nobel Peace Prize for 'most selfies taken in a month'. Okay, that was a joke.

Before you begin with the verbal missiles, I should make it clear that 'selfie-taking and co' are not bad per se, and that goes without saying that I too have had a fair share of social media razzmatazz. They only become a cause for worry when they are slide-stepping for the front row with the things that actually matter, or worse, take precedence over them.

As we all know, reading and writing are mutually exclusive: the less you do of the former, the more the latter suffers. Little wonder why poor writing skills stems from people failing to avail themselves of the serendipities that books are known to furnish one with.

A major bête noire for me has always been the grammatical and spelling errors that are rife on social media platforms—a huge chunk of the culprits being youths and young adults—. In a bid to 'feel among' and follow fad, in a bid to short-circuit conversations, people resort to using slangs or writing in short-hand when passing their message across—all of which inflicts a heavy toll on their writing skills in the long run.

I used to joke with my buddies that a time would come when formal and application letters would look like this: "Hey yo, I reli nid dis job, sir. Pls, I wuld appreciate if u gave favourable consideration 2 my letter. Tnx, urs faithfully". Funny, right?

The reading-solely-to-pass-exams syndrome is also another corollary of Bibliophobia. To worsen matters, most of what is 'crammed' is ultimately forgotten on completion of exams since information is never transferred from short-term to long-term memory. The rationale behind this practice is not far-fetched: many people consider reading to be a Donkey work (students being the most culpable)

A seismic psychological shift away from this wrongheaded mindset would not only help in engendering a habit of reading, but also aid in removing the blinkers off people's eyes until they begin to view books as therapeutic and fail-proof mediums in sating intellectual curiosity.

Some people also take to selective reading. And their reason is usually predicated on the grounds that certain books have no utility in praxis. While I can slightly identify with their viewpoint and think a signal-to-noise ratio would help in preventing information overload, or what we call 'infobesity', I am still of the belief that no knowledge is wasted.

Another old chestnut you hear ad nauseam is that too much reading overworks the brain. A joke of the century I must say, considering the fact that the human brain is made up of over 14 billion cells and connections, which when optimally utilized is capable of storing all of the information in the world.

I would part on this note: while money like oxygen is necessary for survival, it is not the purpose of living; for the renown that wealth confers on an individual is fleeting and frail; mental excellence on the other hand is a lasting possession; seek it, acquire it, and even the sky would not be your limit, but rather a springboard to greater and more giddier heights.

BusinessRe: Why Nigerians Don't Patronize Made In Nigeria Products by mikolo80: 7:45am On Aug 16, 2016
djyoungmoney:
There as been recent calls by the Government and concerned Nigerians calling on Nigerians to Buy Goods made in Nigeria so as to make the Naira Stronger.The fact still remains that Nigerians prefer to buy Foreign goods instead of Nigerian Made.Here are some of the reason why Nigerians have refused to buy Made in Nigeria Products

what are they

Discrimination
Sometimes we are our own problems. Most people see goods made in Nigeria as inferior and not up to standard to goods made in other country and as a result decide not buy Made in Nigeria Products . For those who are willing to purchase this made in Nigeria goods, get discriminated for example with sayings like ‘’Na Aba made the guy dey wear’’ and as a result of this stop buying made in Nigeria goods to avoid the embarrassment of wearing ‘Aba made’
are they not inferior

Quality
No one will ever want to buy a product that is of low quality. Most made in Nigeria products are of low quality either as a result of the producers trying to make bigger profit or over management of resources. For instance you cannot expect a Nigerian to purchase a bag of rice which half of it is filled with stones and other dirt rather the Nigeria will prefer to purchase a bag of rice that is produced elsewhere and stone free.

why should they buy low quality

Poor Advertisement/Awareness
Advertisement is king. Most Nigeria producers and manufacturers always fail to recognize the importance of advertising, how would a Nigerian know there are products produced in Nigeria, that satisfy their needs when the proper Advertisement is not done to bring the existence of such product to their notice. Since there is no awareness concerning such product, they will buy goods made outside Nigeria which proper form of advertisement and awareness is available for.

how will they buy what they don't know is there
Price
Nigerian producers and manufactures are to be blamed for this. Sometimes they t want to make quick money or super normal profit and in the process increase the prices of their goods to the level of ones produced in other countries. Why will a Nigerian want to buy a good ‘X’ produced in Nigeria whose price is more than that which is produced outside Nigeria. Goods produced within the country should be cheaper and not outrageously high.
why should they
Poor After sales Services

If you purchase a Toyota Car today, be rest assured that there are many authorized outlets such as Elizade Motors where you can service or maintain your Toyota car in most parts of Nigeria. If for example you purchase an innoson vehicle which is produced in Nigeria but doesn’t have authorized servicing outlets where you can service or maintain the vehicle, you will definitely be discouraged to buy the innoson car produced in Nigeria and rather opt for the Toyota vehicles instead.
how can they

Why is there not a single Ijaw competing in aquatics at the olympics? Each and everytime, we are inundated with tales of how superhuman Ijaws are when it comes to anything that has to do with water, why are we not seeing it being showcased to the world..

There are 6 different events, Swimming, Diving, Sychronised Swimming, Synchronized diving, Rowing and Open water swimming.. There is rowing, and water polo as well with over 50 gold medals up for grabs..50 opportunities for grace and GLORY.. Not one taker!!

Despite the natural talent the good Lord bestowed on the Ijaws, not one is harnessing it..Not a single soul is driven by passion or a desire to see his/her emblazoned on the world stage... Not one is driven to test him/herself against the world..

Excuse No 1... You have oil underneath the soil of the land you call home and yours but so does Iran,Saudi, Qatar, Angola, UAE and they are at the olympics, even if you get 100% resource control, will everyone have access to it?

Excuse No 2, Government nor dey support anybody..
True but it is only at the beggining.. As horrible as this country is , when they see medal potential, they are revved up from their lethargy, No one can say Blessing Okagbare is having a picnic with the sports ministry but she's letting her work and drive make a way for her...

Coco Ukogu has qualified for the 1/4 finals of rowing, she is not even a Nigerian in the real sense but the country is fronting her because she is a medal hopeful.. Even if she doesn't medal, it will raise her profile and create other opportunities for her

Excuse No 3: The Nigerian nation is not nice to the ND, Lie, we had an Ijaw president (who ought to know better and be passionate about aquatic sports) during London 2012 & the two Ijaws that made attempts were withdrawn by the irresponsible suits at the NSC because they were wild card entries and and he didn't move a muscle..... Wild card because they weren't fantastic but if they were so good, nothing would have held them back..

Excuse no 4.. Don't bother , there are scholarships from even ivy league schools for prolific swimmers.... If you are so good, compete in trials, opportunity will come...

Izonpikin, Tonyebarcanista, Dearpreye, why is this so?

P.S... This is not Ijaw bashing, just a call to action.. Peace.

Nigeria politicians are inherently corrupt. We all know that. But the APC will make us believe, pre-election, that it is only the PDP that is corrupt thereby portraying themselves as saints.

For the presidency to have supported Dogara by saying the budget wasn't padded should leave no one in doubt that corruption is still very much around.

In the last one year, how has Buhari fight corruption? No bills, Acts nothing to make the institutions stronger. Media-trials, arbitrary clamping/arrest of suspects is not fighting corruption.

It's a disgrace and shame when I see youths not doing the proper things for their future. A man just said something interesting, of national importance and all we can hear from the lips of youths who see emselves as leaders of tomorrow is 'wailing or zombies' statements. In a sane country, those leaders would have been booted off or forced to resign due to intense protest from the educated youths, but in Nigeria, madness, thieves, corruption, cowardice is all legal so why not just sit comfortable in our sufferings and depressing sofas and keep shouting 'APC Zombies, PDP Wailers' while these old men regardless of parties keep rap*ing us daily, walking free and also being worshiped by the so called educated leaders of tomorrow.

Nigeria Youths are the most miserable of all youths in the world, talking big big grammar but so afraid to fight for their due rights. Oh I remember God will come down and help us right? Miserable creatures
