AgricultureRe: The Cassava Story. Profitability And Loss Theory by tswitch: 5:23pm On Feb 19, 2015
stagger:
However, the export market is an elite market. If you cannot speak Hausa or you have no Hausa-speaking partner to break into this market for you, sorry!

So what is the point I am making here?

Don't just blunder into a business without getting access to market research. Companies spend a lot of money on market research because that is what separates the profitable ones from the losers.

Cassava is profitable. You just have to know where the profits really are.

Yeah, I hope one day that Nigeria would start manufacturing her own destroyers and one or two aircraft carriers.
The later could be a tall order grin because they're so expensive to build. A US Nimitz-class aircraft costs close to $1bn.
We may also get it as a gift from a world power wink

You wish cheesy That'd be a very tall dream but nothing is impossible when you set out achievable targets and work assiduously towards meeting them.

However, I don't think we need an aircraft carrier to project power in West-Africa as long as our next door neighbours do not pose a considerable amount of threat that could be deemed beyond a DEFCON 3 grin

@tswitch, it seems we now know the fourth item on our list to be commissioned by Mr President today. According to beegeagle's blog, it's the Type 062 Shanghai II patrol craft - probably a gift from the Chinese? See attached pic (more or less a missile defense boat, that's if we decide to arm it)

Seun and Mods don't seem to like our Navy very much. Na APC vs PDP news/bashing them want angry
Yes a gift.
Watched the commissioning live,better days yet ahead.
I am not ruling out an aircraft carrier just yet considering the giant strides our navy is making and yes I suspect it will be armed in no distance time.

PoliticsRe: Fashola Beats Jonathan In Railway Devt —group by tswitch:
emmaglow:
@tswitch, All over the world, light rail system are done in phases and that is one idea I believe Fashola copied in this regard. However, it is a 20 year development programme proposed. Just as he approved the design for the construction of Orile-Iganmu—Marina blue line, as part of the ongoing construction of 27 kilometres blue line rail from Okokomaiko-Marina sometimes in 2013, process of starting the Red Line light rail project that will run from Alagbado in Ogun State to Marina, Lagos as begun. I am sure you are aware that when fully operational, the corridor is expected to convey over 400,000 passengers daily, thereby easing traffic on the road. A great vision by FASHOLA. This feat and many more are reasons sensible Lagosians want continuity in AMBODE not a mushroom pharmacist.
I am very aware of the design and operability of any major facility construction and can categorically tell you that a 57Km rail takes maximum 36 months for commissioning and a lot less than the 160 billion the LSG has disbursed so far.
For your information the vision is flawed as it is way past it's expected delivery date and obviously cannot be completed in the next 6 months,the idea of conveying 400,000 people daily is ludicrous to be candid.How many people ply that route on a daily basis? What is the population of people in Lagos? What is the population of people in Nigeria? Which bureau cooked up such statistics?
Also note that light rail project is the most expensive of it's class in the world and it has not been completed!
Not one citizenry development or people oriented project commissioned in Lagos since 1999 and you say Lagosians want continuity?
Lagosians are tired of poor governance and massive looting of public funds hence it is high time Lagos is ruled by Lagosians.
Which is why Agbaje and Abdulkarim's time is now!
What other combination beats a successful businessman and an educationist?

PoliticsRe: Fashola Beats Jonathan In Railway Devt —group by tswitch: 12:43pm On Feb 18, 2015
Can the group also compare the proposed Fashola's (uncompleted) light rail project to the proposed FGN Lagos-Abuja high speed rail system which will be the first ever in Africa?

Can the socio-economic group also tell the good people of Lagos why the Fashol's rail is the most expensive uncompleted rail project of it's class in the world?

Can the group also explain to us how an accountant who has never taken any mangerial decision,doesn't understand risk and managerial compliance be a better option from someone who single handedly built a business from the scratch making decisions and taking calculated risks to succeed despite unfavourable business climate.

Can the Backward Initiative Group also categorically list elective political positions Ambode has held in Lagos?

Can the group kindly explain to their financiers, the APC and it's presidential aspirant that certificates are neccesary to apply for even the trainee position illustrated in their speech.

Can the group also as a matter of urgency list just three (3) people oriented / citizenry development projects of the LSG in the past decade.

@tswitch
If memory serves me right, could the ship you're referring to be the Fishery and Oceanography Research Vessel from Poland pictured below?

From all indications, non of the listed ships available for commissioning next tomorrow was/has been received or inspected by the First Lady.

1st Ship: From USA
2nd Ship: From China
3rd Ship: From Ireland
4th Ship: From Nigeria (locally built). Romour has it that the fourth ship could also be the gifted Missile Defence Boat from China.

Big ups to the NN.
Not from Poland.
Korea.
That model in the picture you posted on this thread was given to Dame Patience.
I think that was around the same period she got her honorary doctorate (Korea too).
Vessel must have been commissioned then.
On the fourth ship:It wilk still be built by the Chinese,what the FGN is doing by completing works in Nigeria is to build lical capacity-jobs,skills etc and also save up in some FOREX.

Hail NN!
Hail Mr. president!
Hail Nigeria!

PoliticsRe: The President Is Not Supposed To Have Soldiers In His Convoy.-falana by tswitch: 9:40am On Feb 17, 2015
In as much as I am not a lawyer,I have over the years known all Nigerian presidents always have an ADC and is always protected by the Military.

Mr. Femi being a lawyer I respect I think it is best he is asked these questions:

1. Past presidents were protected by the military and you did not bat an eye or say a word. Why are you making noise now?

2. I watched Mr. President's media chat and heard him say "only the president has military security",so which other constitution are you quoting? Are you no longer a lawyer? Don't you have an understanding of the constitution or are you now a public bus conductor making people scream for change?

My only advice to you,do your homework and find out the meaning of GCFRN lest you end up with the short end of the stick with your tyrannical sponsors.

TravelRe: Bta When Travelling To South Africa by tswitch: 11:36am On Feb 16, 2015
Sometimes immigration asks if you have your BTA or funds and sometimes they don't.
You can hold what you feel is enough for you considering you have made provisions for hotel/lodging and other cost.
In my opinion $1,000 is a safe buffer and can cover any eventualities but if you can't raise that much take what you have and if asked by immigration officers say your funds are on your atm cards - VISA or MasterCard.
