have a look at the attached image, the problem is that the black do not read, most do not strive to upgrade, whereas, the system changes every now and then..

the funny thing is: we don't know that we need it

I believe you bro.
The first step towards liberation is knowledge...

imiski:
Thanks. Nigeria/Africa needs massive reorientation.

Yes! Mental revolution & attitudinal change...

We are the cause of our problem. See innoson motor for example, a serious government would make sure every government office has at least ten of that car. Our children that don't even know their own language are been taught foreign languages in schools, even our very own pidgin is forbidden. If your cloth is made in Aba it is fake(but we have forgotten how tecno started). The thing pain me. We are selling ourselves to the white man.

Whaoo... You made some precise and practical points...

I will never enroll in the school of thought that the global economic system is designed to keep Africa under unending poverty.

African Nations are the instrumentalizers of their recurring technological backwardness and mostly the originators of their socio-economic issues.

During the course of defending my #Green4Blue Initiative, I made a point, that African Nations are presently redundant in supporting the proliferation of global infrastructural shift; they currently do not have long long-term plans that supports the Green Revolution. However, the major implication is that in the next few decades, by the time Internal combustion engines (petrol/diesel-driven machines) are already phased-out across the developed regions, African Nations would still be at the mercies of these developed Nations and their automotive manufacturers through their massive importations of Green Machineries.

Proactive Countries across the globe are currently launching solar-powered windows for energy collection, solar park, faster EVs with long mileage, hybrid cars, and many other forms of renewable energies, whereas most African Universities are still having the technology of internal combustion engines in their syllabuses. Can you spot the difference.

The solution is for African Nations to catch-up with the rising waves of global civilization. The foundational step towards the realization of this goal is to develop an effective R& system while also eliminating every form of myopic instincts that have been subjecting the African development in the dungeon of retardation.

In case you missed Arsenal vs Man City ht actions, here's the highlight...

On Thursday, 12th December, 2019, during the Education Summit, at the Education Resource Centre, Zone 7, Abuja; I was invited as one of the Co-Launchers of the FCT-NANS Annual Magazine, titled: "War Against Social Vices...".
Alongside, I acted as one of the Panelists during the discourse, and afterwards given an honourary recognition alongside with other notable Dignitaries.

(Here’s my reaction this Headline about Climate Action)
Yesterday, I saw this headline on AIT, “EU on Climate Change: Leaders Agree on 2050 Neutrality Target.” Today, I am compelled to share my perspective about the story.
In line with my Green4Blue theory, there are two distinct approaches required to foster a proper Climate Action across the globe; the agro-approach and the techno-approach. Agro-approach is of the school of thought that planting of more trees to supplement for deforestation and other human activities could mitigate futuristic climate-related hazards. On the other hand, techno-approach believes in the maximization of modern technology and green inventions in combating global warming and other climate-related hazards. A good example of techno-approach is the innovation of renewable energy for eco-friendly power generation, phasing-out of petrol/diesel-driven internal combustion engines and replacing them with zero CO2 emission machines.
In line with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), under the Article 3, Paris Agreement (2015): "each country must determine, plan, and regularly report on the contribution that it undertakes to mitigate global warming".
Here’s the blunt truth about the narratives; most African nations are currently deploying the agro-approach in mitigating climate change and other related hazards, whereas, most of the developed regions across the globe are currently making pragmatic moves and/or maximizing modern technology in fostering proper climate action. Some are currently maximizing legislative tools and policies in order to actualize their long-term goals within the speculated period of time.
Notably, considering the ongoing global discourse about Climate Change, the EU leaders recently agreed on 2050 neutrality target. Technically, this implies that after the next three decades, the conventional non-eco-friendly technologies might have been phased-out in the European Nations and other developed regions. It also connotes that most of the automotive manufacturers would be producing more electric cars, electric jets and other eco-friendly machines for renewable energies. If care is not taken, African countries would still be at the mercies of these nations and of these outlandish manufacturers through their massive importations of electric vehicles, solar-powered generators and other green machineries. Reason being that most of the African Leaders are currently quiescent in strategizing means to maximize modern technology for proper climate action, only a few are striving to key into this global wave of development. A good example is the proposed Kigali Green City. However, I need to note that fostering a proper climate action is beyond the phenomenon of building a green city. More expositions about this hypothesis are in the Green4Blue theory.
Sideways, we cannot deny the fact that some fully industrialized nations are presently skeptical about signing the Climate Action Pact - for being a potential threat to their economic well-being, until a more efficient, readily available and affordable energy source are discovered for exploitations. Here’s the current controversy, how can we strike a balance between the two discrepancies? How can we #SaveTheWorld from the global warming and other climate hazards without crashing the economy?
The closest answer is to structure a Global Synergy for Green Revolution - through intellectual and expertise exchange in order to innovate eco-friendly technologies, the likes of faster cars with long-mileage, long-lasting renewable energy sources for domestic usage and industrial consumption, while also garnishing the process with the agro-approach. Have your hand on the Green4Blue Policy Document for more details.
The actualization of the long-awaited industrial revolution in Africa seems to be unfeasible within the next century, if by today we fail to join the rising wave of the global infrastructural shift.
In an attempt to rise up with the current wave of global infrastructural shift, here’s the question; "what step are we currently taking in fostering Green Revolution in Nigeria?" The Vision 2050, a long-term techno-economic development policy document, titled, The #Green4Blue Initiative (Green Tourism for a Blue Economy) is still the best coin-side for Nigeria and other African countries.
In reference to one of my epic quotes; "Future! Future!! Future!!! If by today we fail to prepare something for future, whenever the times, it would prepare anything for us..."
To #SaveTheWorld from global warming and other climate-fueled hazards; the actualization of one of this #GlobalGoals is a collective responsibility and Africa MUST not be left out in the process this time around.

I am a writer, and i am in full support of such a gesture towards the revitalization of the culture of reading in Nigeria. This is the way to go... Education should be made a priority by the Nigerian Government, relevant academic books should be freely made available, and besides, i will be launching an educative book by next month... a must-have for all

Introducing NETISM: The Art of Digital Parenting by Jawolusi Oluwaseun Solomon - www.netism.org

Max.speed(Km/h)- 150

I once attained 180 kmph between Okene and Kabba express way with my Mazda Car that year...

in this 21st century, I think 150kmph is too small, that means the jeep-like vehicle is not stable at high speed, even from the look of its aerodynamics designs,
the centre of gravity should be reduced to enhance stability at 240kmph.

The race is not for the swift and the battle is not forfor the mighty...

EmeraldKing7:
nice one boss

what of factors like tax,insurance etc....

And must it be in places like lagos,....i reside in the south south....

A unique business plan should be developed for every venture with respect to certain factors.. that's story for another day. This business idea was developed for Abuja.... Etc. Etc

Less of talks, more of actions...

i. OVERVIEW:
Commercial activities and trading is one of the oldest types of business since the Stone Age where trade by barter systems was used. Many of the business icons being referred to as economic giants of the world today are actively involved in commerce through one way of the other. In this era, the internet is the new marketplace that can be keyed into for different transactional engagements - most especially for an electronic commerce systems.

ii. FEASIBILITY STUDIES
Electronic commerce system became popular in Nigeria within this present decade, though other parts of the world have been reportedly maximizing the internet for transactional and business purposes before this period. However, the likes of Jumia and Konga were the trailblazers in the Nigeria e-Commerce market, while the likes of , car24 and others recently got into the business scene. Studies also show that the e-Commerce industry is not yet saturated and any investor going into the business can be assured of high turnover because of several reasons; number one is the population resources of Nigeria as the Giant of Africa – as we all know, everything sells in Nigeria. The second point is that a new eCommerce business can always survive in the industry so far it can invent a unique competitive advantage above the existing businesses.

iii. THE TECHNICAL SCOPE OF THE PROPOSED ELECTRONIC COMMERCE BUSINESS.
A user-friendly website shall be developed in order to serve as a virtual office for
- customers to make pre-orders of products that are not in the warehouses,
- customers to make instant orders of products that are readily available in the warehouses,
- customers to track their products from one locations to another,
- customers to make an online payments via a well-secured channel,
- customers to have portal accounts,
- admin to have a portal to monitor the various daily transactions,
- other services being offered by the firm.

Subsequently, depending on the financial strength of the investor, cross-platform mobile apps could also be developed to complement the web-driven eCommerce application while also enhancing its wider outreach and accessibilities. However, having a mere ecommerce website for a start is not a bad idea, such a firm can always upgrade to mobile apps services as time goes by.
The proposed eCommerce firm can have two offices (or warehouses) for a start; one in Abuja to cater for customers’ orders being made from the Northern part of the country and the other office in Lagos to handle the orders being made in the Southern part of the country.

iv. THINGS TO DO:
1. Registering the Business with the Corporate Affairs Commission (Nigerian CAC): registering a limited liability company with at least 2 or 3 Directors ((in-line with the requirements of the CAC).
2. Using FCT, Abuja as a practical case study; getting an office space at the Central Area, Wuse, Wuse 2, Jabi, Gwarinpa or at the Abuja Suburb (Kubwa, Lugbe and others) would be needed. For a start, I would recommend that the business-owner should get an office space at the suburb area of the city while it could always be upgraded to a more expensive location in the subsequent years. However, more costs could be incurred for transports and/or dispatching of orders to customers at the Abuja city center when the office is situated at the suburb.
3. User-friendly eCommerce website: users can make orders and also have their orders delivered to them in due time. The website must be a well-secured one due to the fact that a payment gateway will be integrated into it for easy completion of the chain of transaction.
4. If the company cannot afford a delivery van for a start, then it would be a must to purchase a motorcycle for delivery and dispatch within Abuja city (and Lagos as time goes by).

v. NECESSARY ASSETS FOR EFFECTIVE RUNNING OF THE BUSINESS
1. A well-furnished office that would contain the following under-listed: three desktop computer (one PC for the Secretary for administrative purposes, one PC for the ICT/Order Manager for handling customers’ orders and for managing the company’s eCommerce website, One PC for Managerial purposes such as CCTV Surveillance services and others.
2. A mini-vault to keep some valuables in the warehouse.
3. An air-conditioner or 3 standing fans (for a start) just to ensure a conducive environment for staff and customers.
4. Furniture and other office stationeries and accessories: three tables and three chairs, and a reception seats for customers.
5. A generator and an inverter to ensure zero downtime in the situations of power outage.

vi. TYPES OF PRODUCTS AND TARGET AUDIENCE:
For a start, I would recommend that the sales of certain competitive products should be focused on at the beginning of this eCommerce business; other products could be added later (either on a wholesale scale or on a retail scale).

a. Ladies Sport wears: waist trainer for ladies
Target Audience: this is a popular demand for Nigerian ladies that are always in the endless quest for flat tummy.

b. Electronics: Jam Box
Target Audience: many Nigerian youths are always opting to possess a Jam Box for several reasons – despite its portability, it is loud with a touch of deep bass and most are rechargeable.

c. Digital Gadgets: Smart Wrist watch
Target Audience: Both the young and old Nigerians are currently crazy about getting a smart wrist watch for so many reasons like its portability, duly accorded with its ability to perform all the features of a smart phone.

d. Smartphone: becoming the partner dealer of a new Smartphone brand in Nigeria. Such phones could be ordered in wholesales from the U.S. or from China.
TARGET AUDIENCE: Nigerians would like to have a new brand of phone with amazing features like ‘long-lasting’ battery, HD Camera and other amazing features.

e. Solar-powered gadgets and rechargeable electronic gadgets: Such imported products would always sell in the Urban and Rural parts of Nigeria because of the recurring issues of unstable electricity as usual.
TARGET AUDIENCE: Every Nigerian will like to buy such a new product that can readily supplement for the challenges of poor electricity in their immediate environs. It is now left for you to select the best types of solar-powered gadgets/rechargeable electronic products to deal with for a start.


vii. ADVERTISEMENT AND PUBLICITY STRATEGIES
1. Creating a localized Facebook advertisement: this method is a proven viable method to reach out to a particular target audience.
2. Subscribing for a sponsored ads on twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Nairaland forum and Google ads sense
3. Consulting and/or partnering with a social media influencer: some celebrities and public figures already have millions and thousands of followers on prominent social networks, such known personalities can easily make the products and service being offered by the new e-Commerce company known to their followers by posting such on their walls and also sharing such online.
4. Advertising on public outlets by using outdoor banners and other advertorial signage (this might be expensive for a start-up business)

viii. POSSIBLE CHALLENGES:
- The clearing and forwarding of some imported products might face some delay, most especially when such are shipped into Nigeria
- Security challenges: some areas are quite prone to insecurities issues in Nigeria, therefore, the delivery and dispatch of ordered products might be face certain complications or more cost might be incurred in order to secure the delivery process (by hiring some security personnel).
- Publicity and advertisement: creating a general awareness of the existence of a new type of competitive business will be a demanding process
- Inventing a competitive edge required to race with the existing ecommerce businesses (Konga, Jumia, & etc) is also a tasking process

You sound idiotic, u've mentioned a lot of things, do feel a man of God been accused of rape shouldn't be there too? Or that the idea of rape is OK in the society?

Most importantly, we should not forget that we are in a state governed by rules and laws! Constitutionally, an accused person or a suspect can not be tagged as a culprit until after he or she has been tried in court. As it is, the story is still one-sided until the accused is proven to be guilty of such an offence. Legal verdict precedes protests in this context.
