e mandman: make una shut up joor(sorry about dt)Hey man incase you don't know, Attitude is everything. It would make or break you especially when the going gets tough. The guy is asking for a loan and not a grant. Anybody that would give out money would want to know the capacity of the loanee to pay back. I liked his business plan and the fact that he had a grasp of the figures, so I was about to say something positive. Then I read his next line which came just after one person had posted, and it discouraged me in an instant. A positive attitude and an undying passion are the most important factors determining whether or not a venture would succeed! The poster gave up in a second on a thread he posted because he hadn't gotten enough replies. Same thing would happen when he doesnt get enough customers for the business! 4 Likes |

vandarsar: Am a regular reader of the economist since '05, I hardly miss any issue. I can tell you they hardly gets data right when it comes to africa and they can easily be bribed to manipulate or maneuver some "matter arising".The mistake you guys keep making is the Lagos been referred to is actually the Island where foreigners reside. This article is actually published for use by expatriates and investors seeking to do business in Africa. If you think places like ajegunle and alimosho are included when assessing lagos, then think again. The cheapest hotels on the Island cost upwards of 35,000 Naira per night. And they are usually basic duplexes with no recreational facilities. The more elaborate ones cost upwards of 60,000 naira per night. And this is absolutely ridiculous when you consider the price for a 5 star hotel in dubai can actually coist less than half of that price. Johannesburg is extremely cheap. Accra on the other hand is expensive but not anywhere near Lagos. |

So na bus washing plant them they commission for Lagos now??When other people are commissioning airports et al?? Naaaa! I used to respect Fashola and hold him in very high regard but with this?? Haba!! To think that this is the man who said he goes on Project inspection to fix problems on site! What problem does a governor go to fix in a car wash?? Eko oni baje oooh!! And by the way if Fashola thinks he has no more work to do in Lagos, better than commissioning car washes, he should seek to add more BRT routes and make Lagos more international. The city is still a mess. In less than 10 years, 2 mayors of Bogota, Colombia changed the city from a drug infested shooting range to a world class sustainable city. Fashola and Lagos still looks like a dumpsite. Below is a picture of Bogota's BRT. Thats what a BRT system should look like. https://www.sustainablecitiesnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/ScottDalton_BogotaBRT_NYTimes.jpg 2 Likes |

Meanwhile, Khartoum in Sudan comes tops on the list of cities with highest consumption of alcoholic beverages, tobacco and narcotics, scoring 121.3. On the other hand, Douala in Cameroon ranked last of the 25 cities sampled with 46.9 consumption rate.Interesting!! I thought Khartoum was a majority muslim city?? Appears more liberal than other muslim cities then. On the other hand, it might not be the achohol that raised their points, might just be the drugs and narcortics! With regards to the other cities, Its pretty obvious that oil wealth is not exactly good for cities as it tends to increase the cost of living as shown in the fact that Lagos, Abuja and Luanda top the list. I am sure other cities like Malabo and Libreville would feature top on the list. 11 Likes |

This is getting really pathetic. All these All Peoples Congress Supporters here should be ashamed of themselves! If a simple regular fellow, who you all claim is a charge and bail lawyer could outsmart the retinue of supposed seasoned professionals in the All People's Congress, then there is no way the same set of people would be capable of dealing with the very complex issues that bedevil this country. What beats my fascination even more is the fact that the followers of the All Peoples Congress have resorted to whining like sissies instead of owning up to the failures of thier leaders and plotting better strategies to ward off any potential threat. I am a Business/Entrepreneurial Development strategist and our primary focus is helping innovative products/solutions reach market in its readiest and finest form! One thing we do on a regular is to protect our ideas and strategies from potential snipping by competition. Everything from the product name, segment, branding or even the our potential market targets would be totally under lock from even very key partners and team members. Only those that should know usually do know. If at this early stage all I hear is whinning, then APC doesnt even stand a chance in 2015! apc needs strategists and not whinners if it must as little as win more than the current 10 governorship states that its politicians currently control! 2 Likes |

Is he not a Nigerian?? Doesnt he have the right to register a political party with the name African Peoples Congress. This article is just pathetic! Look at the small boy who outsmarted the whole gang of opposition politicians! Yet they want us to believe that it is the PDP in Aso Rock that did it. If it were the PDP that registered the party, would the man in question be switching off his phone. No people. He would be lodging somewhere in Transcorp with the full protection of the billion dollar party that the PDP is. Maybe the guy is just a patriot motivated by his desire to ensure that a Coup plotter(Buhari) that truncated our democracy does not get anywhere near Aso Rock. I like the guys smart move. My advice to APC right now is that they should seek a negotiation with him and offer him a huge sum to change his party name. As it currently stands, he will win the case in any court of law subsisting on any part of the planet!! 10 Likes |

| Politics › All Peoples Congress(apc) In State Of Confusion Over Name Controversy- Tribune by PapaBrowne(op): 4:04am On Mar 12, 2013 |
Merger: APC meets over new name, De-registered parties still in INEC portal, APC missing THERE is a strong indication that the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is in a state of confusion over the crisis rocking its name and registration with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), just as a section of its leadership is already considering adopting a new name. Sources within the opposition party revealed that the confusion stemmed from the issue of time frame within which the new party must fulfil requirements for its registration. It was gathered that the merging parties must hold a convention during which they will officially adopt the new name APC and cease to exist as individual political parties. While the sponsor of another new party, African Peoples Congress, are already filing their papers for registration, the merging parties under APC could not proceed, because a ratification convention had not been held. A chieftain of the opposition party disclosed that the merging parties may not hold a ratification convention earlier than May or June, a time frame within which the African Peoples Congress would have been registered by the electoral commission. “We are really shocked. The funny thing is if we adopt a new name, another group can rush to seek registration ahead of us. So we are holding a meeting this Wednesday (tomorrow) to consider options,” the party chief said. Investigations by the Nigerian Tribune, however, revealed that the party was considering three options for discussion and decision at the forthcoming meeting. The first, according to findings, was a change of name, which will involve addition of Nigeria to APC to make it All Progressives Congress of Nigeria. The second option, it was learnt, included the adoption of an existing political party into which all the merging parties would fuse. The source also added the third option was insistence on the current name, to be accompanied with direct and open pressure on INEC to register the APC for the merging parties on the ground that sponsors of African Peoples Congress were acting in bad faith and in collusion with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Tomorrow’s meeting at the Abuja residence of Chief Tom Ikimi will involve members of the merger committees of the new party. It is not clear, however, whether national leaders of the party, like General Muhammadu Buhari and Senator Bola Tinubu will attend the meeting. Meanwhile, checks by the Nigerian Tribune on Monday indicated that none of the parties de-registered by INEC had been deleted from its portal. Some stakeholders in the political circle had engaged in allegations and counter-allegations, following reports at the weekend that a party, which bore the acronym predated the APC recently formed by the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and the All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP). The row was compounded by the refusal of the Chief Press Secretary to the commission’s chairman, Mr Kayode Idowu, to give details on the application he said the African Peoples Congress submitted to the INEC for official registration, but without revealing the identities of the sponsors. “What the law requires is that if a group applies and the law has already provided for things to be met, like a checklist, it is not a matter of INEC cherry picking or preferences. There is a checklist and once a group meet that checklist, any group that meets that checklist is registered with that name,” he was quoted to have said. Both CPC and ACN have launched tirade at PDP, accusing it of being the brains behind the row over the nomenclature. This is just as the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) warned the INEC not to deny the APC the opportunity to register for the contest of the 2015 general election. The group, on Monday, said the possible insistence of INEC to do so would spell a bad omen for Nigeria’s growing democracy. In a press statement issued in Enugu and signed by its national publicity secretary, Mr Osita Okechukwu, the CNPP urged INEC “to resist the temptation of PDP’s covert move to register the APC prior to February 6, 2013 when the APC was formed,” adding that there was no such application in INEC. It noted that the PDP’s intention to register African Peoples Congress was “ignoble, subversive and meant to forestall the registration of the authentic APC, based on the flimsy argument that both poses the same acronym.” The statement said: “CNPP needs to remind INEC that PDP’s intendment is to foist one party state in Nigeria and rule uninterrupted for 60 years, with or without performance. “Consequently, we challenge INEC to publish the names of the promoters of African Peoples Congress to proof that it is not as alleged to be in merger with PDP. The INEC should also go further to investigate the allegation that the proposed APC is being floated by the PDP as a way of foisting one party system in the country. “Former head of state and three time presidential candidate, General Mohammadu Buhari, had alleged that the INEC is in merger with PDP to do the biddings of PDP. He accused INEC of massive corruption among others. Till date, the commission has not accepted or refuted the allegation, even as weighty as it is. A silence in all these will mean that the commission is working with PDP to foist a one–party system on the country.” However, the PDP dismissed the allegation, saying the leaders of the ACN/CPC/ANPP mega party should own up to their negligence and incompetence of the merger parties it described as “our grossly inferior opponents.” As of press time on Monday, none of the 24 political parties on display on the INEC website went by the name the All African Peoples Congress or APC, for short. It was also discovered that many of the parties the commission de-registered last year were still on the list of parties in the portal. The full list included: the Accord Party; Action Alliance (AA); Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN); Advance Congress of Democrats (ACD); Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN); Alliance for Democracy (AD); African Democratic Congress (ADC); All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP); African Peoples Alliance (APA); All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC); Citizens Popular Party (CPP); Democratic Peoples Party (DPP); Kowa Party (KP); Labour Party (LP) and the Mega Progressive Party (MPP). http://www.tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/component/k2/item/7145-merger-apc-meets-over-new-name-de-registered-parties-still-in-inec-portal-apc-missing |

But APC should up their game and get these things done quickly. All I want to hear from now on are deadlines, deadlines, deadlines!If you read the temperature even here on nairaland and other social media, there's no sympathy. The question has been:: Why would you make all the noise without registering your name?? It just displays a misorder of priorities. And people are seeking leaders who are strong.

take dat: Who are the sponsors of the other APC? PDP ghosts! This is nothing but an act of political desperation from a party that mouths platitude about being the biggest political party in Africa, yet its panicky over the rising profile of the coalition party and has resorted to aggressive underhand measure to stymie it. There is nothing sacrosanct about the name/acronym APC, what matters the most are the political participants in the merger and what they have to offer to Nigerians. The movers of the party are savvy enough politically to have a plan B,C and even D. GMB who said earlier that PDP is in cahoots with INEC was right on point!Sorry Sir. It is not political desperation but Strategic Decimation!! If the coalition is not smart enough to get something as simple as registering a name right, is it the task of dislodging a multi billion dollar party that would be easy?? This simply shows that while the coalition is shouting on the newspapers, other parties are strategising! Whining is for girls. Strategy is for kings! Obama says this constantly: Power never lets!!

Gbawe: All this thread shows is that this forum does not have many who have built valuable things or led anything worthwhile. The APC owes no one nothing and only those with a usurpation mentality, preventing them from discerning the basics of procedural fairness, will shout "why a Northerner".Definition of Hypocrisy Hypocrisy is the state of promoting or trying to enforce standards, attitudes, lifestyles, virtues, beliefs, principles, etc., that one does not actually hold.[1] Why not then shut up on everything happening in Abuja with the FG and wait till 2015 when you would be opportuned to utilize your SINGLE VOTE. Why do you come on Nairaland to talk about the PDP and its actions. Why not simply accept the limitations of your position in life with regards to the activities of the PDP. If you wanted to have a say on the activities of the FG & PDP, why not be on the right side of the fence and stop shouting vacuously, judgementally and bigotedly on nairaland as though a mai guard in Aso rock would hear you out and and give your crumbs from his table! You see, the consequences of your hypocrisy is on you, not on the people you think are your foes. Hypocrisy and bias blinds you out completely of making strategic decisions. A person deviod of hypocrisy would read the comments here with the understanding that every commentator is a potential APC voter and their opinions reflect a cross section of Nigerians. If I want their vote, I would align my strategy to appeal to them or I would work at convincing them to see positive in my actions. I do sympathise with you though, cause the actions I've seen the APC take, would definitely keep Jonathan in power till 2019, and I feel bad because that means you would be bitter for another 6 years.
