LordZero:Really? |
In Lagos State, and some other states, it is common to see Karate Academies where underage children train virtually on a daily basis. It is really necessary? What are the children using expertise in karate for? Is it to have sense of superiority over other children? What these children need is sound formative education. The money used in enrolling them in such academies can hire good private teachers. Folks, what do you think? http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/11/why-do-children-learn-karate-thesedays.html

The United States (U.S.) presidential election has been won by the candidate most of the pollsters predicted would lose it, Mr. Donald John Trump. Politics is over and machinery for serious governance is being set in motion. Quite unlike in this milieu where official procrastination is sometimes legendary, barely a week after election, most of the president’s key men including Chief of Staff to White House and Chief Strategist have been named. Even the cabinet is steadily taking shape. It is a tribute to the influence of democracy in the U.S. that despite the tempestuous nature of the election, protests against the same exercise in many parts, there is no threat to the set date of inauguration of the country’s 45th president. It is remarkable that the whole world is beginning to study the undercurrents and indeed the unexpected outcome of the elections even as pollsters are still wondering where and how they went off-mark. The pollsters have also failed in UK’s Brexit, in Greek and Canadian elections. This has confirmed the theory that media can really be a weapon of mass distortion, after all. The media is beginning to manifest inability to reach significant portion of the populace. This is part of the lessons of the just concluded U.S. elections. As was noted in our pre-election comment, the election campaigns did not only divide the country, it also raised some questions and dust about race relations, among other negative connotations in a country that prides itself exemplary whenever multi-culturalism is in focus. Now globalisation as a means of trade has been dented by the election campaigns. Trump’s strongest supporters are Americans who prefer strong men to strong institutions. Trump has been openly tribal. He has promised authoritarian leadership to an angry majority of Republican Party members. They don’t only fear a loss of status, they also resent globalisation and immigration that he has promised to radically reform. They are scared of terrorists and want a more assertive America dominated by white Christians male: “Make America great again” is the magic wand that ensured victory for the maverick Trump. However, Africans and most immigrants have been historically linked to the Democratic Party’s ideals which include a celebration of American diversity and concessions to a progressive faction demanding greater economic justice. This was the message of Mrs. Clinton. How America’s two major parties have dealt with excluded identity groups’ demands has defined their priorities since the 19th century. And in the 1960s the Democratic Party lost a large faction when it passed civil rights legislation. Virtually all the white segregationists who controlled the bloc of southern states quickly turned Republican and remain so till date. The effect was to further hinder the centuries-long struggle by African Americans for full and equal voting rights. This partly explains why a coalition of minorities expectedly voted to retain the Democrats in power to topple the white race in the G.O.P. They failed. However, there are more lessons here including the fact that personality of the candidate, rather than party ideology can swing election outcome. Besides, artistry in political debates may not be a critical success factor anymore. After all, Mr. Trump failed to answer so many specific questions even about “how to make America great again.” And despite the obscurity of his messages in the mainstream media on trade agreements and immigration and the ‘Great Trump Wall’ for Mexico, the unusual businessman turned politician won. What is more important for the president-elect now is that elections are over, governance should continue without disrupting the existing world order as has been promised during campaigns. While appreciating the political message that American interests will now come first before policing the global system, Mr. Trump should be sensitive to the reactions of the U.S. partners to the outcome of the election. China that has gone ahead of the U.S. in constructively engaging Africa should not be vilified for that foresight. China is an emerging world power that should not be provoked. And (European) partners in North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) should not be ignored at this moment. There is an existing world order that should not be buffeted at this juncture by an enlightened self-interest and so the U.S. should not shirk its responsibility, in this connection. After all, the United Nations Headquarters is in Trump’s country. Even fear of Islamic fundamentalism that has been part of the campaigns should be managed carefully without hitting the roof. Isolationism cannot be successfully pursued by the United States, a citadel of multiculturalism. That fear has been fueling widespread protests since election result was declared. It should also be noted that though the United States may no longer be seen as the world’s hegemon, whether benign or threatening, it is still the single most important power. Its action at this time has unique potential to either make solutions possible or add to existing problems. The western media has already predicted that a Trump presidency would be bad for the U.S. and dangerous for the world. Which was why they had noted that a vote for Mrs. Clinton would have been the most effective way of preventing it. Mr. Trump should not allow the media to proclaim later that we told you that his strongman antics are a liability. Be that as it may, the president-elect should recognise that in the 21st century, U.S. power has more chances of attaining goals if it acts inclusively, and not with go-it-alone reckless tactics. A Trump presidency should rely on soft power in a smart way. He should pay close attention to climate change, development and working out fairer global trade arrangements. The U.S. should also take the lead on international justice by signing up to the international criminal court – a development that even the outgoing Obama administration has regretted (for failing to join the court). Despite the discontents the November 8, 2016 elections have triggered, American democracy remains very strong. That is why we believe that instead of looking at the profile of Trump, we should look at how the people, not campaign slogans can cause a stream to defy gravity and flow uphill. That again reinforces the point that only Nigerians can develop Nigeria. That is the message of Trump and his America where they have just re-echoed John Jay’s belief that, “The people who own the country ought to govern it.” http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/11/donald-trumps-victory-lessons-and.html |

holars43:OP, this is a very good write-up. We really appreciate it.

umuopara:I can see anger, bitterness and frustration in your write-up. Sorry for your plight. You have really exposed yourself here. Nobody would like to associate with you and your so-called training, after reading what you have just vomited. |
Babacele:How did you know that the agencies charge N300,000? It should be far lower than that. |
afanide:Yes, they are supposed to obtain license before even embarking on the business of mining. Some Nigerians like shortchanging the government. |
umuopara:So, you called an e-book carefully prepared by a team of international trade professionals with many years of experience a good-for-nothing e-book. You also mentioned that my firm is deceiving people with our export e-book. Why don't you get the e-book for you to develop yourself? We can see, from your comment, that you are highly frustrated. Budding exporters, kindly ignore this frustrated person and get the e-book. |
Babacele:It is a truism. |
bot101:That's very good of you. |
eezeribe:Experts in theory? What do you mean by that? |
Seven Energy International Limited has signed a $112 million Partial Risk Guarantee (PRG) with the Federal Government for the supply of natural gas, delivered by its wholly owned subsidiary, Accugas, to the 560 megawatts (MW) Nigerian Integrated Power Project (NIPP), Calabar, and Cross River State. According to the company, the PRG is a financial instrument that would secure the supply of up to 130 million cubic feet per day (MMcfpd) of natural gas to NIPP Calabar, thereby enabling the consistent generation of an additional 560 MW of electricity to the national grid, approximately 20 per cent of current power generation in Nigeria. The company in a statement said the Federal Government of Nigeria and the World Bank back the arrangement, which guarantees payments to Accugas for gas supply. It noted that the deal will be the first of its kind for gas supply in Nigeria and is a demonstration of the Federal Government’s commitment to increasing power supply in the country and stabilising the ‘gas to power’ value chain. Commenting on the agreement, Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo said: “I must say that this is a very significant event for us and as we all know this is the first PRG for gas that we are signing. We know that it will encourage investment in gas infrastructure and we are certainly looking forward to the multipliers that will come from it.” The Vice President commended Seven Energy for completing the 69 km, Uquo to Creek Town pipeline, which will provide a continuous flow of natural gas from the Uquo Field in Akwa Ibom state to NIPP Calabar in Cross River state and add up to 560 MW to the national grid. He stated that given the current power situation, we expect that this gas that will go into the Calabar plant will provide another 500MW of power, which is very significant given our current situation. Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Seven Energy, Phillip Ihenacho, noted that the signing of the agreement is very significant because it is the first gas to power guarantee that the World Bank has provided for encouraging investment in the gas sector in the country. “It assists in securing and leveraging the $700 million investment already committed into the gas infrastructure in Nigeria,” he said. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/11/seven-energy-secures-112-million.html |
To encourage increased local and foreign investment in Nigeria’s downstream oil and gas sector, the need for the Federal Government to prioritise the enthronement of a stable and predictable foreign exchange policy, has been emphasised. Stakeholders in the sector who made this call at the just concluded Offshore Technology Logistics (OTL) conference in Lagos last week, want the Central Bank of Nigeria, Federal Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Petroleum Resources to urgently address the challenges of foreign exchange (forex). At the end of the conference, operators concluded in a communiqué made available to newsmen a few days ago, that there is the need to urgently review the administration of the current ineffective foreign exchange intervention in the downstream sector in view of the timing gap between the offer of forex and the opening of Letters of Credit, which often erodes the value and usefulness of the offer. The communique stated: “There is need for government intervention by way of policy on LPG to facilitate its growth and make it easily available and accessible. Full liberalisation and deregulation of the downstream oil sector, with removal of all hindrances and bottle necks are needed for the improvement of private investment and market competitiveness in the industry.” The communiqué signed by Chair, OTL Africa Advisory Board, Reginald Stanley and Chairman, OTL, Africa Downstream, Emeka Akabogu, that it is imperative to establish and empower a strong independent regulator to oversee activities in the subsector and ensure implementation of open and transparent rules for the downstream value chain. They said that it expedient that the Federal Government formulate policies that will best serve the public and cushion the effect militating against investment in the sector. To minimise or eliminate oil theft, they said that security measures such as the oil and gas protection squad should be implemented as soon as possible, together with full deployment of technology and observance of international monitoring standards. The communiqué noted that governments and private investors should be encouraged to explore and undertake shared infrastructure to ease movement of products particularly trans-regional pipelines and rail connections. They stressed the need for government to expedite the passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), which should cover full deregulation of the downstream sector. The communiqué stated: “The Cabotage Act as well as the Local Content Laws need to be optimised in implementation by The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), and other regulatory bodies in the downstream sector to ensure more participation of Nigerians. “Payment of charges in foreign currencies by indigenous operators to agencies like NIMASA, Nigeria Port Authority (NPA), Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) and others should be stopped forthwith and the Naira prioritised as the means of exchange to maximize the value to ship owners and improve competitiveness at the ports. “Financial institutions should be encouraged to develop special lending arrangements that will allow players in the downstream sector access funds at single digit interest rate to facilitate and sustain growth. “To streamline policy interventions, inter-agency collaboration between key branches of Government is strongly advocated and Government should identify supervisory mechanisms to harmonise policy engagements. Government should urgently adopt a policy of low sulphur fuel specifications Afri-4&5 to protect the health of our people and the environment. Government needs to reduce the duty payable on the acquisition of vessels by indigenous operators to make them competitive with their foreign counter-parts”. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/11/maritime-experts-speak-on-attracting.html |

The Executive Governor of Anambra State, Chief Dr. Willie Obiano, has prohibited unlawful mining and extraction of solid minerals in the state. According to the report at the disposal of Tectono Business Review, the prohibition was made known by the governor while receiving a delegation from the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) in Awka, the state capital, a few days ago. According to the governor, who was a member of the board of directors of Fidelity Bank Plc, his administration was dedicated to blocking all leakages in the revenue collection process in the state. In order to ensure proper documentation and monitoring of activities of all licensed miners, he instructed them to work with the state Ministry of Science and Technology. In his speech, the head of the delegation, Dr. Casmir Anyanwu, stated that the essence of the visit was to sensitize state governments on the need to adopt solid minerals as a viable option to sustain the country’s economy, adding that over 40 mineral resources had been identified across the 774 local councils in the country http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/11/gov-obiano-prohibits-illegal-mining-in.html |
