She knows the right thing to do but she's not doing it.

Herself goes naked to attract men, she's just as dumb as others.

I will legalise marijuana and it's use is different from I will export marijuana. Hiya. Why una no get sense like this. The former makes more sense, that's a reform. Reform means to make changes to improve. The former is broader, It means I ll create room for investment, invest in technology to create product. Exporting marijuana means, I ll plant marijuana in my backyard, whether it's legal or illegal, I ll sell it and it means I will import the finished product. May be he didn't communicate right. Now read this post again to understand how a presidential candidate should communicate his campaign promises.

God, please answer my call....

majekdom2:
presidential candidates talk about policies and reforms. They talk about laws, measures that will boost GDP i.e tax, foreign direct investments, negotiations. Where we are missing out on incentives. How we can reduce import. They don't talk about exporting cannabis. It is the entrepreneurs that will plant cannabis, thats not FG's problem. Should cannabis be legalised, FG will only make money from duties. FG cannot claim the cannabis. Can FG claim the cocoa you plant as theirs? You choose to or not to plant. This is not for sowore to talk. Cannabis is burnt because it's illegal in Nigeria. Sowore lacks indepth knowledge and experience as it concerns governance.

Sha tell me when u whine me finish.

majekdom2:
what has low self worth got to do with my post abi you don't know what English to use. Sowore is a presidential aspirant. His thoughts shouldn't be the trash he is saying. Either you are a teenager or unexposed to see what's going on in other nations. This should be a project for individuals/entrepreneurs not a project a presidential candidate will use as campaign

Give an Igbo man five million naira, in three years he'll repay you back with fifty million naira.
When I checked this headline I was so confident it could never be someone from the liberated republic of Biafra.

I wish you all the best life has for you my Yoruba brother.

zinnyzee:
Heh.... Okay.

I changed it. I hope this new one is modest enough?

zinnyzee:
I'm good.


Don't tell me you want me to make you laugh?

How are you today?

majekdom2:
export it to them? Is there a need for it? That’s the question you should ask? Is it worth the investment. How long will it take for there to be a significant ROI and what will be the value. A leader in Africa is looking to have developed 1 million leaders in 50 years and in his words he is not sure if he would be alive in 50 years but he is investing now for 50 years. This is how a leader thinks not to export weed because it is burnt. You want to export weed because it is burnt not because it will impact your people. Isn’t this dumb?

lefulefu:
exactly what i was saying.where will be the market to export the weed. We will have more market exporting cassava,palm oil and make thrice more than exporting weed.who wan buy d weed frm us?...FARC rebels?

naifizzy:
Investing in technology takes decades to perfect and maintain. It's not like buying a machine and using it. It involves intense training and research developments.

So if you invest in Tech for 5 years, it's not enough to compete globally with tech giants who have spent several decades on reaserch and development.

So it's only wise to begin with trade of products that can easily generate income quickly than go on a long term investment on tech.

majekdom2:
another dumb individual without foresight. You are talking about the nations that import oil. Those nations have functional refineries that refine oil they produce. The import is to ease excess demand and also save for future. America was a key importer of oil because they had thought oil would deplete thus the need to store for future use. However, since alternatives such as solar, electric vehicles are disrupting, they limited inports, started exporting and many of the oil companies are now investing in alternatives. How many functional refineries do you have in Nigeria. You spend money exporting oil and spend money importing the finished product. You want to do same for weed. You want to start exporting weed, again I ask you how much can weed contribute to your GDP. When I say technology, I mean we should have local feature phones. Feature phones will be around in Africa for a long time. We should have local software. How many apps on your phone are Nigerian apps other than your mobile banking apps. The platform for many software is foreign too. Go back to you economics- what will be the demand for weed in 5 years and what will be the demand for emerging technologies in 5 years? Sowore lacks foresight. We don’t need to export or import anything to thrive as a nation. We got population, we got resources. What is lacking is wisdom to lead. And is saddening that your likes and sowore aren’t hungry for it.

majekdom2:
the reason we are poor is because we think about the now now now. Eat it all now. We don’t have long term thinking. What has happened to oil. Same way we ate all the money from oil “now” and couldn’t invest. Can’t we create technology like other nations. What is the market worth of emerging technologies and what is that of weed. If it will take 15 years to do anything meaningful with technology, why not invest now. You don’t know what the future holds. When China started investing in technology, there was nothing like smart phones but as technology evolved, they were able to compete because they invested already and that’s why they can “borrow” Nigeria money... the youth that went into yahoo, what is stopping them from innovating and doing. Something meaningful. Must we do crime. Cannabis can grow anywhere. What makes him think they will buy Nigerian weed.

lefulefu:
well drug users will think he's making sense. U tell me who's going to buy weed on a huge commercial sale from nigeria. He hasn't talked about the possibilty of producing and exporting cassava on a huge commercial sale,he hasn't talked about palm oil. He is talking about weed.maybe soon he will be talking about exporting cocaine..smh.

I don't why any responsible parent will endorse a premarital relationship. Not even a strong relationship. Boyfriend/girlfriend relationship

Jerrypolo:
So the philosophy of an "Average Nigerian" is to stay under the monopoly of foreign countries, importing junk and spewing hate for government whenever a policy to reverse the trend is set in motion.

Do you know how much jobs these guys rob us of. Not to mention the "Philosophy of Laziness" that comes with it.

I dislike Buhari's government and will never ever vote for or support his reelection but my love for Nigeria is bigger than my hate for Buhari.

#Peace.

Jerrypolo:
Go read up the Chinese model for development then come back for a conversation.

Wait!!!. Lemme save you the stress and data. Way back, just a little over when the war (with Japan) ended with the help of the allied forces, the Chinese decided to take up their destinies and never be at the mercy of any country or force. So they came up with a policy that made them a "soloist" country. If they were human, they became introverted.

The slogan was "If we can't produce it, we aren't worthy of its use".

You can attest to the fact that Nigerians until the turn of the millennium had more cars than the Chinese. Not because they hadn't the technology, but because they were perfecting it and were still very proud of their imitation from the British, "Bicycles".

If we stick to Nigerian goods by purpose, the manufacturers will be forced by competition to improve and Africa will queue behind us for good.

Our entertainment industry is a good case in point.

Jerrypolo:
Damn!!!

MultiChoice is next.

Then Shoprite with its chain of expired/repackaged/Substandard products to seal the fate of these economic capitalists from the South of Africa.

By the time Nigeria is through, they will understand that the "Giant" in the "Giant of Africa" is not a joke if we decide to be woke.

Not slave. Man and woman are not equal. Every religion of the world understands that.

That a husband helps his wife with chores and stuffs doesn't make both of them equal.
