This picture shows the list of presidents who are 70 yrs and above in africa....
NB:There are 52 African countries...
www.brislink..com for more Africa countries insight and facts
There are 54 African countries who belong to AU. Add Morocco to the list and that makes it 55.

Though ChartsBin's imagery is a year old, you need to consider the number of countries in each nation. I don't think the age of a country's leader is a yardstick for defining who a youth is. After all, it is an African belief that with age comes wisdom. http://chartsbin.com/view/38561
TravelRe: Nairalanders Visit Araromi Seaside In Ondo, The Largest Coastline In West Africa by Mustay(m): 10:10pm On Jan 02, 2017

Its possible because the ShopRite people give so much publicity to any new outlets they are building, so that even before the commissioning of the outlet, consumers expectations would be so much inflammed.
You will notice that on any day an outlet is opened,the frenzy by shoppers to get in there is usually so amazing as the whole outlet will be completely filled to the brim !!!
lozanni:
Seriously, our investors should sink in funds into tourist attractions like this beach in Ondo and then create a media blitz about it, both locally and through the international media.
Gradually, tourists will start patronising the place, especially if adequate infrastructure like international standard hotel accomodation, communication, security, logistics etc are put in place.
Customers' testimonies are the cheapest advertising deals. Before Shoprite came in here, people also tried something similar. In fact, there's nothing really special in their operations save for the fact that it's on a big scale. Today, based on the success of the pilot branches and the adherence to standards, people crave for air conditioned shops in their areas. Before they got to Enugu etc, people will travel to Spar in PH just to have that shopping experience. Today, Shoprite is not in PH for a Naija factor reason while Spar has at least two locations in the same city.

Doing business in Nigeria is not hard but it's only made uneasy by the locals and government. Sometimes, you ask yourselves what the people want. Many a times, people have these grand ideas but because they have to involve stakeholders such as the local community (traditional leaders are not exempted) and the (state) government, it hits the rocks.


Personally, Ondo State is one state I SMH for because it has a lot of tourism potentials. It will take the seriousness of the government first to overcome the major challenge because even when you attempt to take some steps, some people will remind you of the functions (inactions in reality) of government.

Lagos State is a state that's opening up such areas particularly Epe and Badagry - those with grand ideas can sell them to such areas because the SG is actively interested in such for now.

3. The 20 wedding guests who died after the dance floor collapsed
At least 20 people were killed and hundreds injured at a wedding party in Jerusalem in 2001 after the dance floor collapsed. Guests were left clinging to the walls of the Versailles wedding hall when the third floor suddenly gave way and crashed through two stores below.

There were nearly 700 guests in the building, which was in the industrial Talpiot area of Jerusalem. 23 people fell to their deaths through two stories, including the groom's 80-year-old grandfather and his three-year-old second cousin, the youngest victim. Another 380 were injured, including the bride, who suffered severe pelvic injuries.

Bros,

My primary objective is that we must sanitize the public space with what is decent, lofty, true and what will enrich us all. People MUST earn their pay and in the right way. We are having a ugly trend where some journalists throw lies into the public space and set people making various interpretions to it. That to me is NOT journalism.
Spot on. From radio to TV to print, we have a plethora of lazy journalists. It's just a few outlets you can trust. When you do not know something, you can not verify something or have not done enough research on something, it's best to leave the issue but what we have here is journalists gossiping on air and the likes.


Apologies to those who are doing a good job but it's becoming a worrying trend where unsubstantiated information (aka gossip) become the news - this causes a lot of damage to the individuals and the society at large. Unfortunately, what makes it worse is that most readers/viewers are not analytical enough in their reading or viewings so the media outlets lap on this. If we had critical questions to ask, they would do a good job before attempting to publish.

Oga just tek am easy the blow this lies in the name of proving points
It's not an exaggeration, in law, you can get sentences based on the penalties for the charges. It doesn't matter whether you will live as long as those number of years. MADOFF for example was sentenced to 150 years in prison despite being in his 70s. Take a look at the sentences below:

@mattyboy007 you're right, that's why the market has different segments but you must remember that in this context, Nokia is trying to re-enter the market so the business strategy could make or mar them. HMD wants to leverage on Nokia's goodwill but time will tell whether that's enough to cover costs.

Not being a pessimist but this project just seems like it is set to fail. Prove me wrong please. . . A Nokia that was a market leader but saw Symbian + a restrictive Microsoft OS as the way to go now wants to switch to Google OS.

Loyalty is what made their customers patronise them even when it was obvious they were failing and now they still want to buy such gimmick. Most people just need a functional OS with good hardware. Not sure the branding plays a lot, particularly in this part of the world.

WebmastersRe: Little Tips To Stand Out From The 100 Million Blogs On The Web by Mustay(m): 3:52pm On Nov 26, 2016
Ironically, I do not like contact forms plug-ins. They seem like one contacting a machine and reduce the human contact. It appears like most companies simply use it as a means to avoid you sending them an email. Moreover, how do you follow up from a previous message if not responded to through the contact form? Create another one? Emails enable you to 'maintain the thread of conversations'.

Any serious blogger who wants to use the contact form should ensure that an automated response is sent to the visitor and a follow-up is done. More serious minded individuals give a timeline of how long it takes them to respond to mails. This way, unrealistic expectations are not built up by the customer. Alternatively, make use of both contact forms and emails but make sure you respond to both.

I think you should modify this comment because it's misleading and has no elements of sarcasm. Passports of other countries I have seen are generally 10 years and it pisses me off why Nigeria is not the same. India, SA, USA etc - they are ten years max. Drivers licences also have shorter renewal times for obvious reasons.

Funny enough, this wasn't it. These ones came to Ray power's political platform show. All the same, what you have cited is the third example I have heard too. Saw something like that on a South African station too and I am not too surprised because the Superior Guider of MMM Nigeria is one SA-based pastor. So, it's not surprising that they would duplicate templates across Africa.

Same thing the guys on Ray Power said - it's a reward. Like, Hello Santa!!! I am just observing as the experience will be useful in case studies. EFCC officials and bankers allegedly playing it, rich men playing it, people building houses or paying school fees with it etc must be making Baba Ijebu grin ATM. People will find justifications for anything but facts are always sacred. Not once or twice have people used sentiments to sway the populace from thinking objectively. I cannot be swayed.

progress69:
Let me make this clear. I don't care the number if mentions of hate, because i have noticed the violent, bitter aggressive nature of participants when anyone speaks about MMM, i will simply ignore. This is a simple warning to prospective greedy participants.

Secondly i have noticed people with zero knowledge of IT, keep making and giving excuses for MMM. Some claiming MMM is making money from traffic, when they really dont know how money is actually being made from traffic. I read some crap about google paying because of testimonials on youtube, also from traffic and i couldn't laugh.

Some have also claimed MMM can not blocked by any government and i couldn't help but laugh again.

A typical example is UAE blocking Nairaland sometime ago because of alleged articles against islam which seun had to intervene to have that reversed. People in UAE actually had to use VPN and and Proxy servers to access Nairaland for that short period. Will you want to do business with your real accounts over VPNs and Proxy servers in reality?
Another example is China blocking Facebook for privacy reasons. I wonder if FB can be blocked in China, is MMM bigger than FB? People in China also have to use VPNs to access FB, which make their accounts highly vulnerable.
Google and YouTube is also blocked in China. So the assertions that a website can't be blocked by any government is an highly ignorant one.
iCloud which was supposedly highly secured, was hacked and nude celebraties pictures were compromised.
If you have Zero knowledge about IT, its time to stop making insane assertions to promote your greedy scheme.

Judgement day is closer than people think!
You need not cite these many examples - the day that website is inaccessible, I want to see who participants will contact. There's so much hate and attack whenever you discuss this stuff and it shows you the power of money.

The other day, one of the guiders on air said MMM is not an investment but a donation. When asked what government should do, the same person said "government should leave us alone or support us". I just laughed. Only the foolish will talk like that. Something gives you 30% returns (1% daily) and you call it donation. You must think it's everyone that's lost their senses. You don't want government regulations but use government regulated services. In this instance, I am happy CBN etc have warned participants beforehand.


From SA to Zimbabwe or Nigeria, none of them can give you a logical answer to the 30% stuff. They just keep turning in circles - even the website too gives you a roundabout answer. You don't even know who's transferring funds to you - cartels, kidnappers etc, you just want to keep making money because in your defence, the government has messed up or because you're not killing anyone.

Even the so-called enlightened ones know what they are doing when they shove off the crash talks and this goes to show you that there are two types of people in the scheme - the ignorant people and the greedy. The former are wallowing in ignorance and have guiders + returns that keep reassuring them while the latter are the gamblers.

The MMM guys carefully crafted this scheme, provided caveats and used terms such as 'help', 'reward' etc. If it was this easy to 'provide help', modify the scheme and try to reduce (as it happened in Zimbabwe) or eliminate the 30% thingy.


If you're only interested in making money but not really interested in how you make money, you've only showed me the kind of person you are.


If you keep saying we are disturbing ourselves while others are chilling with their money, no qualms. The Nigeria of today is more interested in what you have made rather than what what you do to make it. However, some of us will continue to say it as it is no matter whose ox is gored. Money is indeed powerful but it's not everyone who can control its wielding effect.

It is a consequence of being in love and having someone who has gone into the covenant with you. After all, even children do same - there's a way they'll cry for attention when they know it's there or not! Human nature just wants loved ones to feel their emotions when they're around. Those who get pregnant out of wedlock can only do this to any party that sympathises with them. Otherwise, they'd just keep it inside so as to avoid fanning the embers again.
