You just successfully made a fool of yourself.

So, where did he mention bombing?

Or are you a kidnapper and you are afraid intervention of the UN will stop your business?

Does he have to mention ''bombing'' before your donkey brain can put two and two together?

What does his 'speaking to foreign powers' regarding his proposed ''intervention'' suggest in your head?

That he wants them to send a delegation to Abuja to beg Buhari or what?

Is that what you think he means by ''intervention''?

You're an absolute donkey to imagine the UN will enter Nigeria and stop kidnapping.

Even the very recent history of places the UN and USA have entered, from Somalia to Syria to Sudan to wherever, shows the UN and US presence only ever makes such problems escalate, not decline. But does your dull brain research anything? Is it not a case of ''na oyinbo, so dem go solve everything'', in your dumbass, simpleton head?

Dumbo, can you show us exactly where wole Soyinka said they should bomb Nigeria?

Or are you some empty headed emotionally dumb kid with next-to-madness mental status?

Donkey, does Soyinka have to say ''bomb Nigeria'' before you can decipher what he's suggesting?

Here is an excerpt from his shocking statement:

https://www.newtelegraphng.com/soyinka-un-should-intervene/

The literary icon said Nigeria should take the opportunity of the next United Nations General Assembly to seek help especially on child kidnapping in the North before the new ‘slave trade’ becomes international responsibility. He said, “Up till now, we have been saying, ask for help, this thing is beyond you. The failures started a long time ago, nobody is saying it is you who started it, but of course, your failure and incompetence have also escalated it like every other leader we have had. We now say, it’s an issue that can be taken legally as an international responsibility.

“What is happening now has become an international responsibility, the international community is really obliged to take action since there is failure on the part of governance to fulfil its obligations under the UN Charter in this case genocide.” While lamenting the spate of kidnap of school pupils and the exchange in form of ransom in some parts of the country, he said “We are calling on the United Nations to intervene and stop the slave trade. To live up to its noble intentions and declarations, rescue these children and put a stop to it. “And if Nigeria continues to stand on her sovereignty, I think the protocols, I leave this to the experts, I speak as a layman from what I know. I think the protocols enable that organisation (UN) to do a Namibia, in other words, to declare sections of this country as protectorates under the UN.

“Why not? If the government has failed to protect its own people, failed to fulfill its responsibilities under protocols to which it is signatory, the UN has a right and a responsibility to declare those zones UN protectorates. “What I am saying to you publicly is what we have been discussing with some foreign heads of states because we want this situation tabled.

We do not want what we are undergoing now to become the new normal peculiar to the Nigerian nation. We want intervention at this stage.”

....

These are highly tendentious comments suggesting he wants MILITARY intervention by foreign powers.

Do you intervene with mouth and mere declarations?

Where has the UN ever said ''we declare this country (or part of it) a UN protectorate'', without foreign troops invading and fighting the military of the invaded country?

The op is rattled and driven headlong by cow dung philosophy. He didn't even remember to read the lines of Soyinka and the issue of slavery disguised as banditry where school children are languishing in thick forests and thousands dying and going through gruesome torture. To this deluded op, they are all normal and being stupid, kidnapped and killed are all normal of Nigerian sovereignty. That is the basis of Cow Dung philosophy which he just wrote here. Those trying to correct him are really patient. Professor of Cow Dung philosophy!

If you didn't have foam where your brain ought to be, you'd know that no western nation is going to come in and ''free you'', because they have no history of ever doing that.

Instead, all they will do is make the situation WORSE.

You are still talking of ''thousands'' of people getting killed now.

When US intervention occurs, that toll would be MILLIONS, not thousands.

Go and ask them in Iraq, where 2 million+ innocent civilians were killed by US troops.

What thickos like you need to grasp is that these western countries manufacture and sell weapons.

Their military-industrial complex is a huge part of their economy.

Hence, they WANT CONFLICT.

Without conflict, their weapons industries, which provide millions of jobs to their people, and trillions of dollars to their coffers, will collapse.

So they have no interest in bringing ''peace'' and ''security'' to you.

Quite the opposite.

They will SAY they've come to bring peace.

But what the west SAY is always different from what the west DO.

Get off CNN and start to use your head.

The problem with your reasoning is that those American bombs will fall on YOU far more than any 'ISWAP' bombs ever have.

US intervention will also lead to the northern insurgents taking their fight further south.

They will see the south as US supporters. Their retaliation against US attacks will come in the form of attacks on the christian south.

Suddenly going to the market in Onitsha or Lagos would be like attempting so in Basra or Baghdad, with bombs going off, and destroying life as we know it in the south.

Then you will find US planes bombing the south to ''rid them of the terrorists''.

Suddenly the entire south is a hellhole of war, destruction, and refugees, like Syria.

All this should be EASILY predictable by anyone not blinkered by US worship.

Soyinka the spiritual father of cultism terror is another tribal bigot with no iota of balanced view. Despite Sunday Igboho humiliating security personnel the old man pretended that the man is Saint going around with a Bible preaching.

Imagine an elderly man, calling for white men to once again govern him because he has accepted inferior status to them.

Afghanistan proved one thing, outsiders can never sort out your problems for you, but to Soyinka outsiders are the only ones who can.

Honestly my brother, I'm disappointed in Soyinka. Surely he MUST know the tragic history of western interventionism in Africa from the slave trade to the colonial invasions down to modern disasters from Somalia to Mobutu Sese Seko, who was installed by the US in Zaire after they orchestrated the assassination of the progressive leader Patrice Lumumba.

Even Gen. Murtala Ramat Muhammed, Nigeria's best ever president, was assassinated in 1976 with the CIA getting implicated at the time for its role.

That Soyinka can look back at all this and still be calling for them to invade Nigeria absolutely beggars belief.

Wole Soyinka reportedly stated that he is in talks with the UN to ''seize control of part of Nigeria from Buhari''.

Soyinka sounds very naive regarding all this.

Or maybe he's just trying to pull the govt's legs?

The idea of the UN ''taking over'' any portion of Nigeria is so incomprehensibly stupid and inconceivable, that the professor must have been speaking tongue-in-cheek.

I mean, FIRSTLY, the intervening countries (since the UN has no army or navy or airforce of its own) will have to declare war on Nigeria, and fight the Nigerian military, and bomb/kill Nigerians, and defeat the Nigerian military, BEFORE they are able to send any UN forces to Nigeria to ''seize control''.

Is Soyinka indirectly proposing a US military invasion of Nigeria?

If not, WHAT exactly is he proposing?

When the UN ''seizes'' any land, there is usually a US military involvement. Soyinka knows that.

So....is he proposing a US military invasion of Nigeria?

And IF SO, based on WHAT exactly?

That there is insecurity in Nigeria?

That bandits kidnap people?

That people are killed by bandits?

Is that why Soyinka says Nigeria should be invaded by America?

America, have they stopped their own horrendous insecurity?

Gun crime there is on a stratospheric level, with over 50,000 homicides per annum, equivalent to 30 Boko Harams operating all at once.

So why is SOYINKA calling on people who are drowning in insecurity themselves, to invade Nigeria to bring 'security' here?

How can Americans give what they themselves don't have?

Has Soyinka studied the history of US/western military intervention in nations, and how they ALWAYS make the situation 1000 times WORSE?

Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc etc, are testament to this roll-call of disaster.

Why does Soyinka want to add Nigeria to this inglorious list?

Why is he committing what surely appears to be treason, by calling for foreign military bombardment of this country, and the killing of Nigerians by foreigners who will come here and ''seize control'' of our territory?

Whose side are you really on Mr Soyinka?

The imperialists seem to have you in their pocket.

I understand what you're trying to say though, infusing some creativity into your business.
A lot of business owners in Nigeria do this already.

The truth remains the business environment in most parts of Nigeria is unfriendly.

Just to name a few:
Lack of basic amenities eg Power.
Multiple taxation by government.
Terrible loan facilities.
Insecurity.
And with the present economic situation today, as you mentioned earlier, there is a grossly uneven distribution of wealth with the spending power of a larger group of the population being low.

These are just EXCUSES.

Power? In Jamaica they took the light daily in Kingston. In most developing nations, there are power outages, and developing nations comprise 80% of the world's nations.

Taxation? You must be kidding me. If you think you pay taxes in Nigeria, you clearly haven't worked in Europe or the US.

Loan facilities?

This thread is not about people getting into bank debt. This is about prosperity through creativity and innovation. It is a MYTH that you need a bank loan to start or run a business.

Insecurity?

America has over 40,000 homicides a year. That's equivalent to 20 Boko Haram groups operating all at once!

Many Americans will calmly pull out their gun and shoot you for the simplest argument on the street.

Yet businesses thrive in America. Tourists flock to America.

So ENOUGH of the excuses. Nigeria is a developing country. It is not France. Deal with what you have instead of constantly demanding what is not yet appointed...

Yes... things are hard, and Buhari, as president, will naturally attract some opprobrium.

But most of us are not helping ourselves, and refuse to be creative and innovative in our approach to making money, especially the 70% of us that are into business activities of various kinds.

Look, the key problem in Nigeria is not that there is not enough money. It is that the money there is is unevenly distributed. To a pretty disturbing degree.

But short of rounding up all the elite and forcing them at gunpoint to cough out their billions and share among their countrymen, what else can WE THE PEOPLE do to prise away some of that money from the middle and upper classes, currently 'oppressing' us?

Quick answer: Greater business creativity.

In whatever business you do, aim to stand out from competitors. Aim to be different. Flashy. Welcoming. Bright colours around your business premises, or kiosk.

I was in Jamaica very recently. They have no oil. Bananas, Bob Marley and weed are their main earners. Tourism is vibrant.

Yet the people are not suffering. They are well-fed and clothed.

The common business people there practise a lot of differentiation.

The art of making yourself look better than the next seller.

Their local eateries (equivalent to our bukkas) are each bedecked in bright colours - yellow, gold, red, green etc, and the walls have these graffiti art of various icons, with lofty quotes attached.

People flock to them and they make a killing. Small island of 3 million people. You will NEVER see any 'bukka' there, or even a drinking joint that is just bare, with no bright colours or decoration, or bit of flashiness to attract people.

In Nigeria, you can pass by a house, or a shack, and you might not even know they sell anything there, food or otherwise, unless someone tells you. Then when you see the owner, he or she will be complaining about 'poor patronage' and 'no business because of Buhari'.

I mean, it's simple. Say you were looking to buy Suya.

You drive up to one street known for Suya sellers. You see them all in their usual scanty operations, out in the open, with nothing but the actual grilling taking place.

You then see one Suya seller with a bright, portable yellow and white tent overlooking his operation, with a few plastic chairs around, and maybe even a bit of music playing. The seller himself is decked out in a bright uniform and a matching cap, all smiles and sh..it.

WHO will you go to for your SUYA on that street?

It's a no-brainer.

And the intriguing thing about it is that the cost of that entire paraphernalia he's used to outshine others, could be recouped in one or two days of selling! Cheap as hell.

WE DON'T DO THIS ENOUGH IN NIGERIA, in our various businesses.

We are so busy being depressed that we are 'selling Suya' that we exhibit our depression in our unremarkable premises, and in our sullen faces, forgetting that we can turn it into a spectacular thing, simply by PACKAGING our offer and OURSELVES properly, and being PROUD of what we do, rather than seeing it as ''managing''.

It is a mindset issue.

Other ways to prise away that money from the rich include having street food markets.

I don't know why we lack them in Nigeria, but they are some of the biggest money spinners for local caterers around the world.

These are huge open air markets where they sell primarily cooked food from all over the country, including many you would never have seen or heard of without that market being there. They are brightly lit at night, and heavily attended.

In a Nigerian street food market, one row could be people selling one type of street food, say puff puff. Another row would be moi moi etc.

Another row would be swallow centre, amala, fufu, poundo, eba, tuwo shinkafa, lafun etc, with multiple soups, including completely strange, and highly delicious ones from all over the country!!

Another row would be for Jollof rice/fried rice.

Another would be for pepper soup connoisseurs. Fish pepper soup, Goat, Pork pepper soup, Lamb, Beef. Chicken. A street with different regional variations of pepper soup from across Nigeria.

I mean, what a blast to be on that street.

One row could be for the Igbo delicacy Abacha, Ugba etc.. the African salad section.

Each seller's stand competing with the next for the most delightful cuisine and flashy branding.

These street food markets are open almost 24 hours in some countries. If set up in Nigeria, and are well regulated as elsewhere, they would attract many monied people as well as huge numbers of tourists and foreign business visitors to Nigeria, every day.

AlhajiBitcoin:
The Topic is pure deceit.

The growth rate last year was -6.1% in 2nd quarter 2020. And this negative growth rate improved by 5.01% in 2nd quarter, 2021.

Here is the calculation ( -6.1 + 5.01 ) = -1.09%

The actual GDP growth rate for APRIL, MAY, JUNE, 2021 is = -1.09 %

Nigeria is in recession.

What a load of absolute RUBBISH.

Do you even know what GDP growth rate means?

It simply means how fast your economy is growing this year (or quarter, or month, or week) compared to the last, with such growth calculated by establishing a sum total of all economic activities carried out in the country in the period.

If that total exceeds the preceding period, a percentage calculation is made to glean by how much.

So if Nigeria's annual GDP fell from 500 billion USD in 2015 to 400 billion USD by 2019 (due to the effects of the great oil price crash) and then we start calculating GDP growth rate today, you don't say ''oh, because annual GDP was 500 billion 5 years ago and is 400 billion today, therefore we should measure the growth rate based on the 500 billion figure.''

That is illiterate economics with regard to GDP growth measurement.

If GDP grew by an unusually high margin from 400 to 425 billion in a quarter, thus making it the fastest growth quarter in 4 years, you don't go and start recollecting the 500 billion status and saying ''oh, it is actually minus whatever whatever''.

THAT IS LAYMAN NONSENSE.

THAT IS NOT HOW YOU CALCULATE GDP GROWTH RATE, which is the calculated rate of economic expansion from one period to the very next.

You are a charlatan. You are no economist.

If you were an economist you'd know that demand inelasticity for basic goods such as food, petrol, etc, would negate inflationary trends when calculating GDP growth, especially in a fast-rising, youthful population such as Nigeria's.

You'd know that the economic impact of 'insecurity' is not directly measurable - certainly not in monetary terms - and thus is never considered in GDP growth calculations.

And you care nothing for Nigeria because you don't mind dragging her down out of hatred for Buhari.

Oh SHUT UP.

You are NOT an economist, an economic analyst, or a macro economist.

''Insecurity'', and the ''naira losing value'', ''inflation running high'', etc etc are all LAYMEN arguments that mean absolutely NOTHING when measuring/calculating GDP - economic growth.
