[b]The main problem of Nigeria isn't over dependence on oil alone it's over dependence on imports. Tell me one finished product Nigeria exports, none!!! Economic diversification is the only way and it's always a long term project, so I'm non-plussed with IMF's negative economic indices.

I feel the PMB's government should focus on:

1). The revitalisation of Ajaokuta Steel Mills, if fully functional, it can serve Nigeria and West Africa,

2). Assisting Kebbi and Ebonyi states in rice plantations, it's on the record that Nigeria spent over 1 trillion naira on food imports in 2015 alone of which you and I know the percentage rice is gonna carry,

3) Reviving the moribund textile industry, why should Nigeria still import clothing materials?

4) Carrying out massive reforms on the Nigerian education system, studying abroad is one of the factors placing strain on the dollars, Nigeria loses billions of dollars to UK, US India, South Africa and even Ghana and Benin Republic,

5) Nigerians love cars, Innoson Motors needs to have plants in Lagos and Kano as well as engage in aggressive advertisements, else it would be still be seen as an eastern, not Nigerian car

6) Lend all support to Dangote as regards his refinery, refining oil in Nigeria will ease the burden on the naira in no small way.

7) Work harder on power generation. [/b]

Finally, the government needs to realize that WHAT WE DON'T HAVE IS WHAT WE DON'T NEED. Outrightly ban imports on things like tooth pick, brushes, Polish etc

This is the best post in my opinion. I think to achieve the desired export capacity, the issue of fiscal federalism should be fully implemented. As long as we continue to discontenance it, we will only clutching at straws. Export culture needs to be stimulated and not preached.

The man no try at all. How can one abandon his children and wife. Too bad

In the event of any natural disaster, such as flooding, nuclear reactors can become huge danger due to leakages. Nuclear waste is also a big challenge. I still remember the case of the italian company that came to koko to dump nuclear waste. Thank God it was detected on time before the sealed drums started leaking. Even at that, a clean up was carried out

Nonsense. Wonder how this made it to FP. Must they post just anything on FP? Na wa

Were these clauses in the condition of service when the position was advertised? Or were they introduced after the selection process? NFF should know that qualifiers would soon start.

Interesting. OP, you try well well

Confession galore. Am I guilty of any these? I am reluctant to admit joor

nevilbot:
My question to u plz is who did the universities consult in the ist place when they started post utme back then? Did any law back up the practice of putme?

Unis just woke up and started it to make money and we became cool with in cus we are used to lawlessness. When some of us entered uni , it was only jamb and jamb then had credibility so if no one was consulted to start it, I see no reason y anyone will be consulted to scrap it.

C'est fini!

In one breadth, they were sentenced to die by hanging, and in another, they were sentenced to 14yrs for stealing. Wicked and evil adults.

Your Majesty. Calling out to relevant authority is good, but do more than that pls. Self defence, using armed vigilante is needed

AM Express days. HML

Abeg eat that thing joor.

Prices for GSM came down because the market was competitive. The Telcos didn't come and say pay high price to get services. They invested in their infrastructure and charged high tariffs if you want to make use of it. Also they were not political firms, they were experts who came in with foresight and armed with funds. These DISCOs are simply mushroom firms set up by politicians and their cronies to loot us. How can a private firm ask me to pay for you to upgrade your infrastructure. That certainly isn't done anywhere in the World. They are Private firms and this is business. If they can't survive they should pack up and go. It ll serve as a deterrent for politicians and their cronies always wanting to take Nigerians for a ride.

10000 likes for you. BEDC is the worst there is. You replace transformers for them, spend close to #50,000 to get a pre paid metre, yet bill you like no mans biz

Quakertellicus1:
OK.....let's go back to government running things, and paying low prices for power.

See if a child will grow when you feed him with 300 calories a day.

We need $1BILLION for power annually. Where are we going to get the money. ?

Unfortunately, it is from our pockets.

It is not something i like., but it is the cold truth.

Laughable. They have perfected different means to steal that money from our pocket. Nigerians spend a lot to generate power by themselves through generators. My neighbours are contract staff of an oil servicing company, who have only light bulbs and a refrigerator in their flat. No TV set, nothing else, for reasons best known to them. Yet, the guys complained bitterly to me showing me their bills running to #12,000 per month. They had to threaten the marketer that they will be forced to do something silly to him if nothing is done about their bills. I guess the sum total of money owed these DISCOs will include this crazy bills.

Quakertellicus1:
So, where do Nigerians think that the DISCOS are going to get money to imporve things.?

Privatization means privatization.

Sorry.....but we are never going to have light if we think we are too poor to pay for it.

We are too poor to be extorted. The main issue as I see it is that this DISCOs give fabricated bills to their consumers who they have failed to issue Pre-paid meters to. My bills have been padded by atleast #6000 monthly. I have complained ceaselessly to avail. This judgment if sustained, may us all to revisit fundamental issues surrounding billing system. A staff of one these DISCOs once told me that the submit the correct monthly readings only for their head office to "pollute" the bill because of the target they have to meet up. Must they steal from us to pay back bank loans? They should supply pre paid metres to every customer at less exhorbitant amount

First, he appointed a bemused Pence as his running mate. A man who really does not share same ideology with him, just to curry the support of some liberal republicans. And now this. I don't see this achieving any meaningful result

When is he going to Rehab again ? + that person is no Denrele(one leg slim the other fat)

Hi nurse, all I see are broomsticks as legs. I am not serious for commenting on a Denrele thread

Crixina:
i can agree with you on the public nuisance cos it's no different from a man and a woman hitting it in public, but i see no crime in the act itself especially between two consenting adults.

Well........

Crixina:
well, if these two guys tried to molest their roommates, i agree that's a crime, cos that would have been rape.
but what is the crime in two consenting adults agreeing to do it?

Aside the religious angle to it, the crime in it can be likened to two adults fighting in the open or on the street thereby constituting public nuisance. There are many persons engaging in homosexual acts secretly who may not be arrested, just as fighting indoors may not attract any punishment. The govt and by extension the society frowns at the impact such act could have on the values and norms found acceptable to a majority

Babymama Competition trending on NL

Crixina:
i'm not gay, i mean i enjoy the big D too much to replace it with some hole, but i won't subscribe either to the kind of homophobia going on in this country, for God sake why lynch a fellow human being for choosing his sexuality, what then will you do to rapists, pedophiles arm robbers murderers, nigerian politicians... who hurt other people by their choice of lifestyle?

Your view holds no water in the context of this news. Separately, these guys threatened to molest their roommates. One of the boys ran out to escape being molested. In addition, those other vices you mentioned are as ciminalzed as homosexualism according to the law. People go to jail for as "minor" a crime as stealing foodstuff.

I wonder what the look on the face of the "first time" armed robber would like when the people came forward to identify him as the leader of the gang

ireneony:
why should i ..when all Nigeria men think of are big butt

Not all Nigerian men. Just 99%

*eating sunday rice and reading comments* hmm, interesting thread

alfarouq:
are you not a christian, why dont you give me the quality answers?

Because my quality answer will not be sufficient for inquisitive mind. So, try and get the answer you are looking for in the right place and not on NL

alfarouq:
I have asked several Christians but the excuse is that you don't have the holy spirit even for things that are very obvious

obviously obvious to you, and obviously hidden to those christians. So, my advice remains go to church for sunday school ask the question for quality answer which you may obviously not get here
