Sarajevo = WORST CASE SCENARIO
Vatican = BEST CASE SCENARIO

Think for once dude! chei!

afam4eva:
LOL @ WE ARE ALL F/U/C/K/E/D

I understand your worries, but i think everything will be just fine. Like i said, the ordinary masses won't be able to tell the difference between an oil based economy and a non-oil based one. All they want are the very basic amenities which other sectors than help to provide.

I think our obsession with oil have made Nigerian leaders and follows to be a mentally lazy bunch.

Aigbofa:

Oil will become less and less central to our GDP as the economy is diversified. It will not dry suddenly and "F/U/C/K" Nigeria up. It will go the same way it came - Gradually.

ekt_bear: Lol.

So a little puzzle for you, o thou dimwitted Fstranger.

Here are some facts:
a) The non-oil sector is ~60% or so of Nigeria's economy. Roughly that order of magnitude.
b) Nigeria has averaged, what, 7-8% GDP growth over the past 4-5 years?
c) During that same time period, the oil sector of the economy has been flat.
d) You claim that the only non-oil part of the economy that has grown is telecoms.

So how big is the telecoms sector as a fraction of Nigeria's economy? 30%? 40%

I guess everyone in Nigeria either is in the oil business or selling recharge cards

This is the problem when people who don't reason well start trying to figure out policy.

Stick to whatever you are good at...leave this for others to handle, my numerically illiterate friend.

ekt_bear:

Says who?

Initial capital can come from the same place it came from for Dubai, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and for pretty much everybody else...investors who want to make money because you've presented them with a mutually beneficial opportunity.

Have you even looked at Nigeria's GDP data before you concluded that anyone is fvcked? Y[b]ou do realize that most of the growth over the past 5 years in the economy has been the non-oil sector?[/b] That the oil sector is flat? And for obvious reasons, will be flat going forward (at least, there are limits to how much it can grow)?

OAM4J: Ko si igba ti maku o ni ku, Sooner or letter they have to let everyone including the enemies know what is going on. Am not impress with their speed at all.

Katsumoto:

It may not be criticisms that is preventing them sharing the plan. It may be to prevent enemies from acting against the plan to protect their own self-serving interests. It may even be that they haven't finished finalizing the plan; in which case, you can accuse them of acting too slowly.

ekt_bear: In 1999,2000 or so, Tinubu found a foreign partner (Enron) to supply electricity for Lagos State.

This is just 1-2 years after Nigeria was in a military dictatorship, mind you.

Why was Enron interested? To make money!

shymmex:

Vodafone didn't invest in Nigeria because they couldn't get the licence for free...

You may use MTN's success as a yardstick - but that hasn't enticed big mobile network companies like Tmobile, three, verizon etc. to invest in Nigeria. The bulk of the phone service companies in Nigeria are still from the middle east and asia - why is that?

shymmex:

I believe SW can thrive on industralization,

agriculture, and developing the other natural resources we have.

I must belong to the other 5% then. I believe oil did more damage to Nigeria than good. How can true federalism mean more money from Abuja? How does that work?

Katsumoto:

He is not a North lover. He is one of those who earned stripes during the June 12/Abacha saga but it appears he has lost his damn mind. The problem with those in Afenifere is that they are not currently relevant in the affairs of the SW. This sometimes makes them to yarn dust.

Nigerian leaders are known for putting self-interest above communal interest. Perhaps he is concerned about how the breakup of Nigeria will affect him and has decided to use that opportunity to send a message to the North.

slimyem: WTF?

Haba! Alhaji Chukwuma, You don't have to do this. Ti e ba fe ka'we e lanu e soro.

You don't have to concoct tales and conspiracy theories just because you want the document. Ask nicely.

The plan for an all-encompassing SW regional development is not a secret and you know that. Many stakeholders have expressed this in the press, they've even called press conferences and public conventions. Even SS people already planned theirs. It's not an Aregbesola plan, he's not the only one in SW leadership and far as I know.

E de se suru.

Katsumoto:

How does the fact that the book is secret translate into an Islamic agenda?

Only mischief makers will try to link the Homer's iliad to Al qaeda (yes, they are completely unrelated).

In military and business strategy, leaders sometimes decide not to share their strategy because doing so may affect its successful implementation. Implementation of strategy is just as important as strategy formulation.

Those who are not stakeholders have no need to read the book, they just need to witness as it is implemented.

saxywale:

And for real, Osun state has got several remote villages, using Ile ife as an example, there are more than 10 remote villages far from ife town itself. Some of the roads to villages like arode, aye-Coker and fasina do not even have good roads, you will need a SUV or okada to get there after travelling about 1hour from ife town itself. Some remote villages even share boundaries with Ijebu in Ogun state. The waka go plenty for the children no be small.

It wouldav been a great article if they'd remembered to include a certain Bola Ahmed TINUBU!

achi4u: the answer is NO,i will hire aboki to come and govern us.

Onlytruth:

naijaking1, where have you been, my brother?
I missed your many wise comments here.

Beaf:

I made the mistake of using MI6, I meant MI5.
[b]I have never heard of anybody challenging the FBI in a US court. [/b]My brother, inexeplicable things of voodoo quality will start happening that will make the wise charlie withdraw his case and flee. That is how they are above the law, and that is the norm across the World. All we can have are checks and balances, and since we do not have a dictator in power, whats your fear?

What we have here is a set of people who pushed beyond the boundaries of law and common sense (they were always going to do it sooner or later), now they might pay a very high price. Who knows?

No governor can mess with the National Coat of Arms, National Flag and other symbols of the sovereign state of The Federal Republic of Nigeria and get away with it. Imagine renaming Osun state to "State of Osun!"

saxywale:

What I have come to realise is most of the pro-aregbe on NL don't live in Osun state so I don't take them serious. Aregbe is human, he can make mistakes but to pro aregbe, he is the messiah of Osun state just because he is a member of ACN.
