That's not even d issue, i'm more interested in how u arrived at (+10yr diff) between 2014 and 2020. Did u calculated it by A.P or G.P?

Hahahah she calculated it by mathematical induction

volina:
This is very cool …..
But did you know that Kenya was the first Sub-Saharan country to successfully separate conjoined twins. That was in 2014....After more than 10years after we can now celebrate Nigeria.

In 2013, Nigeria imported $400m worth of fertilizer from India and Asia. Dangote Company has just completed its $2bn fertiliser plant that will not only cut imports, but will earn Nigeria $400m yearly from export to other African countries as operations begin this quarter.

This is great coming from a pure full breed black man.....imagine how much Forex we will save then factor how much we will make from export ....

I once met a Zambian lady in TBS (last pics). I knew she wasn't Nigerian nor W. African d moment i saw her cos of her facial structure.

We had a little chat and she asked me "why do Nigerians hate Nigeria?" i feigned ignorance and told her i don't know what she's talking about, but she said she had a mixed feeling about coming here (for something) cos many things she saw on d internet about Nigeria by Nigerians made her puke, literally.

She said she came and its a different story entirely.... I just told her many sh1t happens on the internet. only if she knew she was talking to the gang leader that day.

It simple...
We Nigerians know where we want our country to be ..and we are quite aware that our politicians are every on social internet platform to get cheap praises..and we will never give them the satisfaction of that cos they can do better....they even go about to pay people to scrutinize the media and promote whatever they do which we always make sure to remind them how mediocre and meagre it is cos we can do more(the money is available)...even here on Nairaland they are govt paid agent even from the house of senate, governors mansions and even the president...so Nigerian will always trash talk their country not because we hate it but because we know our evil Polictians are monitoring and looking for those that will pad them on their backand the them they are trying so they can relax and loot the rest..and thank gawd a large crowd of Nigerians on the web are not asslickers..

We will always remind them those areas they try so hard to forget and trust we do the do it by sugarcoating words..even if it means Insulting the country as a whole..

Indeed Nigerians are Giants of Africa

Nigeria’s Paga acquires Apposit, confirms Mexico and Ethiopia expansion

Nigerian digital payments startup Paga has acquired Apposit, a software development company based in Ethiopia, for an undisclosed amount.

That’s just part of Paga’s news. The Lagos based startup will also launch its payment products in Mexico this year and in Ethiopia imminently, CEO Tayo Oviosu told TechCrunch

The moves come a little over a year after Paga raised a $10 million Series B round and Oviosu announced the company’s intent to expand globally, while speaking at Disrupt San Francisco.

Paga will leverage Apposit — which is U.S. incorporated but operates in Addis Ababa — to support that expansion into East Africa and Latin America.
Repat founders

Behind the acquisition is a story threaded with serendipity, return, and collaboration.

Both Paga and Apposit were founded by repatriate entrepreneurs. Oviosu did his MBA at Stanford University and worked at Cisco Systems before returning to Nigeria.

Apposit CEO Adam Abate moved back to Ethiopia 17 years ago for an assignment in the country’s Ministry of Finance, after studying at Brown University and working in fintech in New York.

“I put together a team…to build…public financial management systems for the country. And during the process…brought in my best friend Eric Chijioke…to be a technical engineer,” said Abate.

The two teamed up with Simon Solomon in 2007 to co-found Apposit, with a focus on building large-scale enterprise software for Africa.
A year later, Oviosu met Chijioke when he crashed at his house while visiting Ethiopia for a wedding. It just so happened Chijioke’s brother was his roommate at Stanford.

That meeting began an extended conversation between the two on digital-finance innovation in Africa and eventually led to a Paga partnership with Apposit in 2010.

Apposit dedicated an engineering team to build Paga’s payment platform, Eric Chijioke became Paga’s CTO (while maintaining his Apposit role) and Apposit backed Paga.

“We aligned ourselves as African entrepreneurs…which then developed into a close relationship where we became…investors in Paga and strategically aligned,” said Abate.
African roots, global ambitions

Fast forward a decade, and the two companies have come pretty far. Apposit has grown its business into a team of 63 engineers and technicians and has racked up a list of client partnerships. The company helped digitize the Ethiopian Commodities Exchange and has contracted on IT and software solutions with banks non-profits and brick and mortar companies.

For a decade, Apposit has also supported Paga’s payment product development.

This lady below is a full blooded Yoruba citizens. she won the Grammy award yesterday.......

""It is a great shame that a good percentage of the Yoruba in Nigeria doesn't know Angelique Kidjo's music, talk more of her being a Yoruba woman.

Kidjo was born in Benin Republic. Her father is from the Fon people of Benin Republic and her mother is from the Yoruba people of Benin Republic.

The oral history of the Fon attributes the origins of the Fon people to the intermarrying between the migrating Allada with the Oyo inhabitants in the (Yoruba) Kingdoms of the plateau in Benin Republic. These Yorubas were known as the Igede, corrupted by the Allada as the Gedevi.

The fusion of the Allada and the original indigenous Yorubas of the Abomey plateau in Benin Republic thus created a new culture, called the Fon, where Angelique Kidjo's father originated.

Angelique Kidjo is, therefore, a full blooded Yoruba citizen. She won the Grammy yesterday. Proudly Yoruba.

Eastern Ports Revival: How NPA, Hull Blyth, Maersk, Others Are Pulling Through


EFFORTS by the present government and a section of the maritime business community to rejig the Eastern Ports have received significant boost following the decisions of major international shipping companies, including Hull Blythe and Maerskline, to return to the Calabar and Onne ports.
In August last year, Hull Blyth facilitated a container ship, ‘MN Boreas’ call to Calabar Port after more than 15 years of ship call by Marguisa Lines.

Managing Director of Hull Blyth Nigeria Limited, Mr. Christian Holm, said his firm alongside their clients including Marguisa Lines, owners of MN Boreas is committed to exploring ways to open up Calabar Port to shipping trade and more business opportunities. Holm gave the insight during the visit of the House of Representatives ad-hoc committee that investigated why Warri, Port Harcourt, Calabar and Onne Ports were not enjoying capacity utilization.

Holm said, “We are excited about the willingness of Marguisa Lines to invest in the port and in new services, and all the new opportunities that opens up for trade and development in Calabar and beyond, now that the port is connected with a global container liner service.”

He, however, identified undeveloped infrastructure, shallow water draft, and insecurity as factors hindering large vessels from calling the ports outside Lagos, noting that port complexes outside Lagos “have not been upgraded in accordance with modern seaborne trade. This relates especially to containerized trade, where the requirements for sizeable port container yards and related handling equipment are not met.”
The Hull Blyth boss also identified other operational possible drawbacks to include road infrastructure to connect the ports with the importers and exporters, which he says can negatively impact on the efficient delivery and distribution of shipping goods.
Marguisa Lines is headquartered in Madrid, Spain, and since 1990, has specialized in liner transportation between the Mediterranean and West Africa. Its main service operates between the ports of Algeciras in Spain and Malabo in Equatorial Guinea, and connects a large network of global and regional ports.
Significantly, Holm noted that, “The port of Malabo will also serve as hub port for the feeder vessel calling at Calabar on regular basis.” On the other hand, Maerskline has also announced its decision directing its vessels to the Onne Port, while effectively discontinuing ship call to Lagos Ports.
A statement by Maerskline said “It is our pleasure to announce that our Far East (China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore) service will no longer be calling Lagos Ports but now comes to Onne directly, giving you a reduced transit time. This is effective this January 2020.
“Maersk encourages all her customers to take advantage of our ocean and inland products (Cargo Trucking, Warehousing, Customs House Brokerage, Value Protect, spot booking on export cargo etc) for a complete end -to-end service experience.”
The federal government through the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and the Nigerian Chamber of Shipping (NCS), early last year, expressed strong desire to see ports in the eastern geopolitical zone reconnect with active shipping activities.
The NPA was later to embark on a number of support initiatives to drive the process for the realignments of eastern system towards attracting the desired cargo shipping traffic. One of such initiative was the proposed 30 per cent tariff reduction to stimulate stakeholders’ patronage; a decision that was made at a one-day strategy meeting/workshop organized by NCS, with the theme “Maximizing Economics of The Eastern Port.”
At the meeting, stakeholders and government officials also agreed on the need for the development of future ports based on strategic master plan and functional blueprint to accommodate changes and expansion.
Managing Director of NPA, Ms. Hadiza Bala-Usman, however, said during the meeting that her agency’s gesture will amount to very little unless other levy collecting agencies of government also offers reasonable tax cut which alone can attract the expected patronage and efficient utilization of the eastern ports.
The NPA boss who was represented by the then General Manager, Security, Capt. Iheanacho Ebubeogu now retired, noted that only an affirmative and collective action plan can lead to the resuscitation of eastern ports.
He said, “We must look at our tariff across board. We have reviewed our tariff and only NPA did it and when I mean review of tariff across board, NPA tariff has come down. NIMASA should reduce their Cabotage tariff, Customs tariff should come down so that if the differential between ports in Lagos and Eastern port is 30percent, people can be motivated given that security (issues) have been addressed. I don’t want us to think if we have addressed security, everything has been achieved, but other cost components must also come down”, he said.

Billions of locust swarm over east Africa


A locust invasion in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia has left crops devastated. It is the biggest swarm in decades, with billions of the ravenous insects nibbling their way through the already climate-ravaged region.

Thick clouds of locusts are blackening the skies of East Africa from Ethiopia and Somalia into Kenya due to extreme weather changes.

Experts warned Friday that the insect infestation could have disastrous effects on a region still recovering from recent drought and aggressive flooding.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated that one locust invasion in Kenya covered around 2,400 square kilometers (930 square miles) and contained up to 200 billion locusts which descend to feed off plants and vegetation.

People in Kenya have been seen shooting in the air, waving sticks, banging cans and running around trying to chase the locusts away, according to the Associated Press news agency.

Biggest in decades

For Ethiopia and Somalia, the infestation is the biggest in 25 years, and for Kenya it is the greatest swarm in 70 years, according to the FAO.

A locust consumes their own weight in food every day. Farmers face frustration as vegetation for their livestock is consumed by the ravenous locusts. Many were just slowly recovering from three years of drought, a process which usually takes up to five years.

The FAO warned that the insects could "reproduce rapidly and, if left unchecked, their current numbers could grow 500 times by June,'' spreading to Uganda and South Uganda.

People have been seen shooting in the air or waving sticks to fend off the locusts

Climate crisis

In an already vulnerable region with high levels of poverty, the locusts can further devastate crops, resulting in "a major food security problem", said Guleid Artan of the Climate Prediction and Applications Centre at a press conference in Nairobi.

The locusts, he warned, were the latest symptom of extreme weather conditions that also saw a 2019 drought end in one of the wettest rainy seasons in four decades in parts of East Africa, with mass floods killing hundreds. The year 2019 witnessed eight cyclones, the most in a single year since 1976.

From East Africa to Australia

Artan attributed the weather crisis in East Africa to a warmer western Indian Ocean — a climate condition referred to as the Indian Ocean Dipole which has conversely led to extreme drought in Australia.

Miles away, Australia is also currently undergoing its own nature extremities: wildfires, dust storms, flooding and hail.

"We know East Africa is one of the most vulnerable to climate change. We know this region will see more extremes," Artan said.

If the locusts are not controlled by the beginning of the next planting and rainy season around March, herders could see more crops devastated.

Most househelps/maids are illegally and constantly been imported from Benin and Togo(some has turned this into a business..selling maids)...

You can imagine 1,498 illegal routes to the country...that means anyone can walk in and out at anytime

True,but sometimes we genuinely need to see how normal countries operate:only then do we have a chance of moving beyond our comfort zone. Learning new ways of doing things and applying them.
eg,how else to develop a proper light city rail or continue struggling with inefficient matatus.

First real and unbiased thing you've ever said ...

Don't go too far, you can always tell your Polictians to come down here with your tax money to understudy what we are doing with our light rail(Abuja will be launching phase 2 in a month time) just like they did to our brt..
