queiii:
wow, you've got some bleeped up taste in movies. all them shits you mentioned above are extremely wack and boring. Nollywood and ghallywood are trash. Even their cinema movies can't even beat simple budget YouTube series from channels like "corridor digital" or "rocket jump"

ibkayee:
I'll be the first to tell you how trash Nigerian movies can be but for every 500 terrible ones there is at least 1 movie that will redeem them. I have NEVER seen a Ghanaian movie I could rate above 4/10

Desric:
And what has happened in states without "nomadic lifestyles", have they fair any better?

PreciousJuice:
The way we (Nigerians) portray our country makes it easier for outsiders to call us poverty capital of the world which I can boldly say contrary to anyone's/organizations view is not True
Countries in Africa and around the world have it worse than Nigeria but our educated and over sabi youths proudly go about talking not minding how the world view us or who is watching
, we hate our country more than outsiders,
Hungry citizens are angry and divided against one another

AAC ANNOUNCES EXPULSION OF LEONARD NZENWA AND SUSPENSION OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS FOR FINANCIAL IMPROPRIETY AND ANTI-PARTY ACTIVITIES

It has come to the notice of the office of the Chairman of the African Action Congress that a group of suspended members, induced by financial reasons and anti-progressive politics, gathered in Abuja today, 13th May, 2019, and purportedly held a NEC meeting.

These members, led by Leonard Nzenwa, former national secretary, who was suspended for financial impropriety and anti-party activities, have demonstrated by their actions that they have never been, and have never shared, the core beliefs that those of us in the African Action Congress hold.

Leonard Nzenwa is hereby expelled from the party, and the misguided individuals who participated in the Abuja meeting are suspended from the party until investigations reveal the extent of their involvement.

It was a good policy. Im not sure Nigerians are ready for drug legalization. He throughly defeated in race despite media attention and policies like 100k minimum wage. I dont even think bill would have enough bipartisan support.

Nigeria would save alot police time and money. Then it could be taxed to fund education. States that dont want it can ban it.

Ghana has launched the world's largest fleet of drones to carry medical supplies to remote areas. President Nana Akufo-Addo said: "No one in Ghana should die because they can't access the medicine they need in an emergency." The drones are planned to ferry 150 different medicines, blood, and vaccines to more than 2,000 clinics serving over 12 million people, roughly 40 percent of the population. About time, wouldn't you say so?

| Shoshana Kede | Excitement was palpable throughout the region as the dream for a continental free trade area in Africa got the final ratification needed to become a reality this month.

Gambia became the 22nd African country to ratify the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement (AfCFTA), meaning the bill now has the minimum number of ratifications needed to come into effect.

On March 21 Ethiopia became one of the last African nations to ratify the AfCFTA, bringing the tally of endorsing countries to 21.

The trade bloc spanning 49 countries with a combined GDP of $3trillion, will facilitate inter-regional trade, boost growth and help to alleviate poverty, its supporters say.

The news was tweeted by the African Union Commissioner for Trade and Industry Albert Muchanga: “Good news! The Parliament of The Gambia has approved ratification of AfCFTA Agreement making us meet the minimum threshold,” he said.

“The AfCFTA market is being born and is one step ready for launch of its operational phase in July this year.

The agreement, signed by 49 of the 55 African Union nations in March last year, will dodge a patchwork of trade regulations and tariffs that make intra-African commerce costly, time-consuming and cumbersome.

Its promotion of tariff-free movement of goods, people and services across the continent is also expected to favour SME’s, who account for 80% of Africa’s employment and 50% of its GDP, according to the World Bank.

But skeptics have pointed to the impending challenges of uniting countries with the greatest level of income disparity between them, under the umbrella of one trade bloc.

For example, over 50 percent of Africa’s cumulative GDP is contributed by Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa, while Africa’s six sovereign island nations collectively contribute just 1 percent.

The motion was brought before Gambia’s parliament by Lamin Jobe, Gambia’s trade minister who highlighted the trade benefits of deeper regional integration:

“This document will definitely serve as a take-off point to enhance the free movement of people, good and services.

“By using this there is a lot of advantages that we can gain from the implementation of this agreement,” he said.

This comes as Uganda’s private sector hope that new agreement will stimulate trade and investments across the continent. Gideon Badagawa, the executive director of the Private Sector Foundation Uganda also told The Independent last year in an interview that the Ugandan manufacturers and producers now have a market platform beyond the EAC and COMESA.

He said the government now needs to work with its counterparts to invest in a Common Infrastructure Fund to facilitate the building of infrastructure that link countries to enable private sector trade and investment across borders.

Data from African Import Export Bank in its 2018 Africa trade report shows that the trade deficit narrowed to $96.9 billion in 2017 compared with $132.5 billion in 2016.

Exports increased to $405.3 billion in 2017 from $344 billion a year earlier, while imports advanced to $502.3 billion from $476.6 billion.

The report also notes that whereas Africa’s trade with the rest of the world expanded 11% to $907.6 billion last year, the portion of trade within the continent declined to 14 % of the total. South Africa, Namibia and Nigeria accounted for more than 35 % of intra-Africa trade last year.

South Africa contributed a quarter of the region’s domestic commerce in 2017, mostly in oil imports from Nigeria and Angola.

I'm sure you've heard of accountability. The owner of a company is bound to follow the rules or fail, the board is there to make sure the right thing is done.

kingharzy:



Correction : YOU SHOULD HAVE 7 BRAINS INSTEAD OF NONE.

kingharzy:



Your problem should be how to recover your sense (assuming you ever had), like how did you come up with this rubbish? ? ?

If Nigeria had seven Presidents instead of one: there would be no cabals or advisors.
Why would a person serving on a board have his own cabal or advisors?
If Buhari is on a board with Fela or Omoyole,Buhari would not need advisors,since we have seven people on the job.
