Why should the CBN stoop so low to engage in this nonsense?

So this is how Tinubu wants to monopolize democracy in NIgeria?

Sulli baba. Ashawo nwoke

Good for them. We must recover atleast 60% of our stolen oil money so that we can diversify. We have a refinery here and some other states. We can start using them. We have cocoa, rubber, tin, etc
Where is Revdemon you can now take your oil we don't want it again

But most of y'all are illiterate.

And Nigeria looses more customers. At this stage, the only way we can survive is by renovating or building new refineries(the ones we have have been abandoned for ages and who knows if they can still function), refining our own oil and sell to Nigerians and other African countries.

If Nigeria can be the sole supplier/largest supplier of AGO within Africa we will definitely survive. Even if we sold only within Nigeria, we would be able to take care of ourselves with over 160m population there would be such a huge demand within our borders that we would have to think twice before exporting.

Dangote's refinery will be operational in 2016 or the year after. The Nigerian refineries are as good as dead.

idupaul:
No wonder Shell and BG have merged in a toned acquisition

Shell acquired BG.

Everybody is talking about diversification like its easy. If the oil price crashes below 40 dollars, Nigeria is as good as dead.
There's nothing to diversify to.

Pavore9:
Unemployment is just like in Nigeria but with being a Nigerian l smell opportunities which locals ignore as there are a lot of things one can learn easily here at little cost and when he or she implements it in Nigeria it will be an ATM!

Have you been to Nigeria before?

And why is everyone talking of manufacturing? Is manufacturing the only sector in the economy?

I don't enjoy it when any body get sense pass me

Lol.

Its hypocritical of Nigerians to expect stable employment in their country while the literacy rate is only 60 percent. Unemployment in Nigeria will be the same even in the next 10 - 15 years. Countries with higher literacy rates and stable electricity have unemployment problems but we expect employment once electricity is provided. That's nonsense.

If successive governments keep on neglecting the education sector, our unemployment rate has no other option but to increase because the value of our human resources will consistently decrease.

Electricity is important and critical but it is not all that matters. Education matters more.

Oba Akiolu, you have stained your legacy and left a nasty indelible flaw on your image. Public personalities should be cautious of what they say in this facebook and twitter age. We ain't got no chill.

So he's a fellow lion? Nice.

In this 21st century, knowledge drives businesses and the economy and not necessarily equipments or machinery.

As someone who is quite conversant with the problems facing SMEs in Nigeria, I can easily tell you that electricity is not our major problem.

Access to finance for entrepreneurs is a bigger problem
Lack of proper financial and marketing management is also a bigger problem
Lack of proper operations management is also a bigger problem

Businesses in Nigeria don't "know" how to manage their human and financial resources effectively. That is the same problem with Nigeria as a whole, we cannot manage our human, financial and natural resources effectively and efficiently.

The key problem is knowledge. That is the problem with Nigeria and other third world countries.

We may have 24 hours electricity supply but that won't make our graduates employable and a statistic put the number of unemployable graduates at 70 percent. If graduates are unemployable, they wont get jobs because they can't offer any value to businesses.

We may have 24 hours electricity but if there's no money to start a business because interest rates are at 27 percent, there will be no jobs.

Electricity is not our problem.

Rivers State

Wike

If MTN constantly makes about 700 billion naira every year in Nigeria with the present electricity conditions, I will gladly opine that electricity is not a primary cause of employment/unemployment.

Lol. Enough of the madness abeg.

I be Igbo boy but lets be truthful and honest, if those useless political jobbers and beggars called Eze Ndigbo didn't pay a courtesy visit to the fooolish Oba, the Oba wouldn't have seen anyone to vent his anger on and this whole furor and tension would never had occurred.

Lol.

GEJ has taught you guys a lesson. Never depend on a weak man.
