Obi wants Nigeria to continue to import to greatness.

And some numbskulls find some sense in it.
Obi needs to discourage imports if he becomes president.

Politics › We Must Credit OBJ For The Rise Of Afrobeats And World Class Nigerian Superstars by Napata77(op):
We must credit former president Olusegun Obasanjo for the rise of Afrobeats and World Class Nigerian Music Superstars

If it wasn't for OBJ's order around the year 2000 that all radio stations must play 85% or more Nigerian music, there would be no Burna boy, Wizzy, Davido, or Tiwa Savage today.

There would be no Don Jazzy, P-square, Timaya, Flavour, Olamide, Runtown, D Banj, Mr Eazy, CKay etc etc.

Today, these guys have made Nigeria an international musical and cultural powerhouse, admired by nations far and wide.

In fact you have to leave this country to know the impact these guys have had on the world's image and impression of Nigeria.

It's hugely positive.

https://www.okayafrica.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=22166712&width=1200&height=600&coordinates=0%2C35%2C0%2C35

See, as soon as OBJ gave that order, suddenly a whole new demand was generated nationwide for new and exciting local artistes who could play something that young Nigerians, long used to US Soul, R&B and Hip hop, could party to. Something home-grown, but funky. And groovy.

That was the rise of Afrobeats (as distingushed from 'Afrobeat', invented by the master himself).

Today, Nigerian Afrobeats plays on every radio station and in every nightclub worth its salt anywhere in the world. Brazil, Jamaica, USA, UK, Germany, Iceland, Uganda, Poland, Holland, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Italy, South Africa, UAE, Morocco, Trinidad, everywhere...

Nigerian artistes are selling out massive iconic international concert venues like Madison Square Garden, New York and the O2 Arena in London.

This was something that was unthinkable even 15 years ago.

Please, let's thank OBJ for this feat.

I remember back when he did it, many Nigerians criticised the move (as usual) as 'draconian', 'authoritarian', 'anti-freedom' etc etc. (The exact same way many have criticised Buhari for his recent ban on foreign models and advertisers/voice-overs etc. In the next 10 to 15 years when Nigerian firms turn world class media and advertising giants, then you will know why he did it.)

OBJ just ignored the loud critics, and enforced the policy.

Today I went on Youtube and played Burna Boy's Last Last.

Then I read the comments from all over the world.

One comment stood out for me. The poster from Germany said:

''Damn! Burna Boy makes me proud to be Nigerian, and I'm not even Nigerian!''.

The comment got over 4,000 likes and drew much laughter, from folks around the world.

Please, let's thank the OBJ administration for this amazing and glorious cultural achievement.

If you know how our fellow African countries envy Nigeria over this.

I mean, they can't figure out how we did it.

We now produce Grammy level artistes in large number, while the rest of them combined, can barely produce 1.

In fact it's a huge embarrassment for the rest of the continent.

The Ghanaians especially, are in a compete meltdown and state of confusion over Nigeria's fast-growing musical and cultural dominance over the entire world.

They don't know how to handle it.

Countries like the USA do not downplay or disregard their cultural hegemony over the world, fostered through Hollywood, music, fashion etc.

And neither must Nigeria, the undisputed Giant of Africa.

omonnakoda:
Good to get nominated

But people should open their eyes

Why should one country have the power to give Music award to the whole world? This is not about culture but power and business
There is no rival award which means English language becomes more and more dominant .
It is colonization if you do not see that or if you feel Happy?

Why is there No African version with the same power? That means our musicians have to change their music to gain American approval
They own YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Google,Coca Cola.Netflix.

Clear cultural domination and colonisation and we are happy and exultant
Good points. But here is something you forget. By getting to the top of the music world through her fantastic artistes, Nigeria is paving the way for its own future status as a music power base which can issue awards that the world will notice.

It's only a matter of time. Nigeria is projected to become the world's 3rd most populous nation after China and India by 2050.

She is on her way to becoming a real world player in every facet of existence, including music.

A child what washes his hands will eat with kings, as the Igbo elders say.

Nigeria is washing her hands very well with the likes of Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Tekno, Rema, Tiwa Savage, Tems, Flavour, and others flying the flags of the Giant of Africa to the whole world in real time.

Yet the Scandinavian countries that are models for the world to follow all save money ...all have trillions in savings and investment that they can't touch

But someone who knows nothing think it's useless
The Scandinavian countries can afford to save money, because they've largely eradicated poverty and underdevelopment.

I remember when obi and osibanjo had this debate in 2019 ...has obi not been proven right ? ...if the people are sufficiently developed even the private sector would help provide the infrastructures
You reason like a very thoughtless person. Oh, so we ''develop the capacity'' of people, and then HOPE that the private sector builds infrastructure, after we have ''developed the capacity'' of the people, whatever the fck that means.

Do you even know what infrastructure means to be talking about the private sector ''providing'' it and 'hoping' that they do?

ScamHunter:
He is a man that has understanding. Building infrastructure without building the people's capacity is a waste of time. For instance, building hospitals without skilled doctors is a waste.
Nigeria does not lack skilled doctors. Your analogy is baseless.

In fact, build the people and they'll build the nation. That's the difference between Africa and far east, near east and Southeast Asia. Japan, the United States and Europe became what they are today by building the capacity of their citizens. African countries that lack good leaders are fixated on building fake infrastructure that empower outsiders more than Africans.
The United States became the world's largest economy by investing heavily in its railroads, which drastically cut the cost of doing business in the country, starting from the 1870s. Europe and Asia simultaneously built infrastructure while investing in human development. They didn't just build schools and hospitals without building roads, rail, airports and bridges.

Have you asked yourself why a country that produces oil has no functional refinery?
The Dangote refinery, which has the capacity to refine all Nigeria's oil for domestic consumption is virtually onstream, so your point is redundant.

Have you asked yourself why billions of dollars have been spent on Ajaokuta but it's still not functional?
So, because Ajaokuta is not functioning, we should not build infrastructure?

Another baseless point.

Have you asked yourself why the best African leaders are those that focused on building the people, yet they are the ones that the West oppose most? A man like Thomas Sankara? What develops a nation is people not fake borrowed knowledge. You see those railways Jonathan built? Give it 20 years and it'll decay like the refineries because it would always require outsiders to manage.
AS WE SPEAK, Nigeria is building a massive railway manufacturing plant in Kajola, Ogun state, that will employ 5,000 Nigerians on completion, and that will build and maintain trains right here in Nigeria, by Nigerians.

You need to keep up with the news.


That's why if you move all the humans in Nigeria to America and move the Americans here, this place would become like America while America becomes another unsafe, bandit infested country with backward people.
Err, no this place cannot become like America even if Americans moved here because they would have to invade 195 countries, kill millions of people local and foreign, and enslave millions more for several centuries, exploiting their free labour, for NIGERIA TO BE LIKE AMERICA, BECAUSE THAT WAS WHAT AMERICA DID TO BE WHAT IT IS TODAY.

Why does this man hate infrastructural development?

I've heard his own colleagues and ex governors saying the man ''hates infrastructure''.

Now of course, I know he talks about stressing 'human development' over infrastructure.

But bro, that sounds good on paper, but if you build the best hospital and school in some place, but there's no motorable road to reach there, who did you build it for?

Ghosts?

HOW DO YOU REDUCE THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS, which is what leads to prosperity, when you frown on multi-billion dollar railway projects that are guaranteed to ease transport of goods and services and reduce cost of doing business?

Frown on airport projects that will draw in investors?

Flyovers that are being built everywhere do not constitute ''consumption'', as you would put it.

They are there to help reduce travel time, which increases business productivity.

So you cannot separate infrastructural development from human development.

The two go hand in hand.

It is not 'either/or'.

I keep hearing that the man favours ''saving money'' over spending it.

I don't agree with 'saving money' when people are hungry on the street and need development. If you don't know what to do with the money, take a seat somewhere please, let those who have ideas run for office.

Thank you.

GodHatesJews:
No kings among slaves.

QED.

This talk about Igbo democracy is all hogwash.

The earliest European depiction of Igbo land was described as a " land of Satan" by an English missionary bemoaning the rampant slave raiding, ritual murders, cannibalism and barbaric nature of the place.
That an African is quoting ''ENGLISH MISSIONARIES'' - the very same people that came to rape, loot, brutalize, and destroy his land to benefit their economy, is 'QUOTING' their utterances as 'evidence' for the 'barbarism' of his fellow Africans, shows the depressing, disgusting, dehumanising level of colonial brainwashing this generation has been subjected to.

Utterly disgusting.

Oh, so what would the English missionary have said before?


''Oh, these are a very civilized people who abhor crimes and live in cleanliness etc etc'', to which the obvious question would be ''so why did you attack and invade them then?''

SO OF COURSE THEY WOULD CLAIM YOU WERE BARBARIC AND UNCIVILIZED AND NEEDED THEM TO SAVE YOU, TO JUSTIFY THEIR CRIMINAL INVASION OF YOUR TERRITORY, AND THE MASS SLAUGHTER OF YOUR ANCESTORS.


THEY DO THE SAME THING TODAY TO COUNTRIES THEY WISH TO LOOT and INVADE, FROM IRAQ TO LIBYA TO AFGHANISTAN TO VIETNAM TO ZIMBABWE TO CUBA TO CHINA.

DEMONISE YOU AND CLAIM YOU ARE WORSE THAN SATAN, THEN THEY INVADE..

‘We Prophesy to the Cedi, Let the Cedi Stabilize’ – Archbishop Duncan-Williams leads prayers

Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, founder of Ghanaian church, Action Chapel International, has taken the woes of the Ghana cedi into prayer.

The local currency has become a major victim of an economic downturn that has been epitomized by massive depreciation against the US dollar, galloping inflation (currently at over 40%, with unofficial estimates as high as 142%), and the general rise in cost of living.

The cedi was recently ranked the world's worst performing currency of 2022.

The 'Papa' as he is known, however, believes that prayer is a good means of arresting and stabilizing the fast tumbling currency, aside from economic and political interventions.

in a recent video posted on his official twitter handle, Duncan-Williams implored his congregation to open their mouths and pray for the stability of the cedi. ''All things are possible to him that believes. I say all things are possible to him that believes. We speak to the cedi. We prophesy to the cedi. Let the cedi stabilize.''

''Open your mouths, Put your hands together. Speak to the cedi.. Open your mouths...Speak to the cedi. Stabilize it in prayer, in the name of Jesus'', the bishop bawled, in his sermon.
