I am not ignorant. The countries I mentioned to you are the classes of countries u can compare Nigeria with not Ghana. Nigeria has oil and other resources, it is the fault of any country that Nigeria failed to diversify or utilize her oil which she has mined for decades.

While some of these countries I mentioned worked on their tourism sector which brings them money, Nigeria didn't.

Also, Ghana is way more stable than Nigeria. It is peaceful, has better working system and secured way more than Nigeria. It is not by fine airports.

Let them hold it for now, until we go after the ghosts. They need to provide incentives for African countries to prosecute the perpetrators.

Look at the $180 million Halliburton scandal. The western world prosecuted all the actors, while the receipents of the bribes in Nigeria all went scot free.

Since Endsars, banditry and those inciting violence, life have been difficult for the average Nigerians.

The Endsars protest started everything in the south, it brought about different security issues which affected traders and wholesalers plus the supply chain, these people have to recoup investments by doubling the prices of foodstuffs

Banditry and bokoharam in the north are affecting farmers and food supply.

Those inciting violence on a particular tribe through the media created food embargo which also led to increase in the prices of food in the south.

Do you know that only the south are experiencing 1000% increase in the price of foodstuff?

In the north food are still very cheap

Chai, its good to live in the north ooh....you go chop and chop tire

Persin wey dey chop for where food plenty no dey think about Buhari, economic policies or systematic failure like those people for south wey sabi speak big big English with hunger.

RuudVanNisteroy:

Leave the western banks out of this. How many leaders were the western banks are based brought money to Nigeria?Why did you take money to your neighbour house, when your children are starving.

Fulani can’t value 100 people’s lives like he can value his one cow because since he was born, he doesn’t have any business except that cow. The cow is like his own brothers and sisters. If anything happens to his cow, do you think he can leave you? You have two or three storey buildings and you park your cars , do you fold your hands and watch somebody come to that house carry your cars, your clothes, your wife, destroy the buildings? You must fight.

The Fulani man values his cow just as you value your brother and sister and you go all out to protect them.
They love their cows beyond description, you can’t separate them from their cows to go and stay inside town or city. The cows have names. The way you give your children names when they were born is the same way they name their cows. Even a person who has one thousand cows, those cows have individual names and he knows them by name; the cows have fathers, grandfathers and grandchildren.

What you have in human beings – the ways names are given to people, the same way Fulani give names to their cows. We are cow lovers , that is why sometimes if you kill their cows somewhere they go there to look for justice, because they see like somebody has killed their brothers; they must go to see who did that and they won’t leave that person.

RuudVanNisteroy:

I am not protecting western banks. We first need to prosecute the ghosts before the western banks will agree to return the funds.

RuudVanNisteroy:

We need a responsible government before the money is returned or the money will simply be re-looted to tax haven in the Caribbean or invested in the Dubai property market. For now the western countries should keep the money indefinitely.

Be deceiving yourself o.. be using English to deceive yourself there. GDP wey no dey show for citizens before. Gerarahere

Brimstone77:
This op is high on some white solid substances....


87%of nigeria can't even afford a local produce let alone foreign products,so what are you saying..


Even some foreign products are more affordable than our local produce eg innosson cars and Toyota cars, this is do to the hard policies and difficulties the manufacturing industries face in Nigeria, you provide your self with all the resources you need, no power supply, no water, even easy transportation of goods na war...so who's to be blamed?? The masses or your corrupt political elites?....Biko you politicians should stop taking us for fools..

mccloud224:


You should be concerned about what happens to YOU after Igbo secede. Yoruba's have been wiping out themselves since the kiriji era and beef is still on Ice (ife and modakeke fiasco during obasanjo era comes to mind).

Worry about the hatred and tribalism eating up your region. Igbo's are not your problem. They imported the phone your are using.

YaribanzaMuslim:
Igbo's agitating for a separate country does not mean they can't own a property on other parts of the country, they can get Biafra and still maintain ownership of their properties. don't tell me you still live in fear of 1970 abandoned properties.

Even 6 days is still a very short time so what the insults

If this road were to be in Nigeria can it be fixed in 6 months

capitalzero:


You are myopic in your view and you lack general understanding of economy. You are so fixated on dress and wears. What is percentage of imported clothes and shoe is our GDP and forex.

Can you pls list things we can produce in Nigeria and their contributions to GDP?

Are you aware that some manufacturers are relocating to nearby countries?
Cements and rice are locally produced, can justify why their costs are increasing with worsening of naira?

If power sector is not fixed, there would not be much difference in prices of imported and local produced items with the same standard?

Ask politicians to stop importing cars, furnitures and other luxurious items?

There are even some items we have to import them because we don't have capacity to produce them locally -drugs, vaccines, electronics etc.

It was fixed in 6 days not 2 days, sand filling was done in 2 days

Japanese road reopens one week after vast sinkhole appeared.

Politicians and leaders should by examples. In addition, can local producers can match local demands? Rice is a case study.
If local items are easily available, most people would buy them. Did anybody force you to buy dangote products-sugar, indomie, cement etc?

capitalzero:
How many people patronizing foreign goods? Majority of nigerians are living below poverty line.
They cannot even afford local goods.
I think you should blame the politicians, corrupt civil servants and business moguls who patronize foreign goods instead of locally produced items.

iamadonis2:


Well, in all fairness to OP, before an industry can thrive it needs patronage. More like if you take 100k and commit to a new business, before you can make a profit you need patronage of a few Nigerians.

Before you can make a killing in that business, you need a much larger customer base first.

A team of technocrats and business development partners under the auspices of Zealhosts Project Bolt Consortium is to invest 500 million dollars into the cassava manufacturing industry in Nigeria.

Dr Tony Bello, Chairman of Shine Bridge Global and Zealhosts Consortium Partner made this known in a statement on Friday.

He said the private sector investment would be channeled through a programme known as ‘Project Bolt’ to speedily achieve the desired result.

The consortium partners included, Zealhosts Consulting Services, Berwick Agro, ALTS Consulting, H2AFoods Nigeria, and U.S.-based food and agribusiness advisory service companies, Shine Bridge Global with the support of AfricaGlobal Schaffer.

Bello said the investors were delighted to have entered into a strategic Public Private Partnership with the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment.

According to him, the goal is to work together toward revitalisation of the food and beverage industry in Nigeria.

“As a team of technocrats and business development partners in Nigeria and the U.S. we are focused on industrialisation of cassava into functional food ingredients for the manufacturing of consumer packaged goods in Nigeria.

“Not only Nigeria but for export to regional West African and to North American and European markets as well.

“We want to thank President Muhammadu Buhari for his visionary leadership of the Economic Sustainability Plan and support of the National Industrial Plan and the Zero Oil Plan of the FMITI under the leadership of Mr Niyi Adebayo, minister for Industry, Trade and Investments.

“We have worked with the minister, Adebayo, the Permanent Secretary, Dr Nasir Sani Gwarzo and the Director of Industrial Development, staff of the ministry to design the terms of engagement and scope of work under the Industrial Cassava Manufacturing Program of the ministry,” he said.

Bello explained that six private sector partners in Nigeria and the U.S had been engaged to ensure the successful implementation of Project Bolt.

According to him, like Usain Bolt, speed is of essence in the programme implementation; we have completed innovation of new food products such as snacks, crackers, shawarma and pizza crust made from cassava.

“Together we shall tackle the issues of unemployment, create jobs for our youths, women and smallholder farmers in Nigeria.

“We commit to over 750,000 new direct and indirect jobs in the implementation of Project Bolt and we are present in six states and looking to expand to a minimum of 10 States in food manufacturing in Nigeria,” he said.

Bello commended Buhari’s efforts in moving Nigeria forward toward economic diversification through food and agricultural industrialisation.

He said the investors had come to provide technical and business leadership to the food and agribusiness sector through co-investments in manufacturing.

He said the investors would apply global food safety initiatives and export market promotions to drive import substitution and Forex earnings.
