We've got a huge population but not productive. Industrialization is the way forward

the country itself doesn't help small industries. Imagine wanting to start a small industry and u have to depend on diesel or fuel to run ur business and many more factors that doesn't help.

Reducing Debt Burden: Nigeria owes money to other countries (national debt). Devaluation makes it easier to repay those loans because the Naira is worth less. It’s like paying back a smaller amount.



How can devaluation reduce debt burden..when the amount owing is in Dollars..please enloghteen me

they borrow in dollar and not naira. So won't repaying cost more for them. Let say I borrowed $1000 last year when the rate was at $1 for #800, and I am supposed to pay this year. That means I will be paying at the rate of $1 to #1500 which means I have paid more especially if I earn in naira.

So evaporated milk is now #600

Let's say you bought a car, then it got stolen, and you luckily see someone using it. You confront the person, and in their defense, they claim they bought it from someone else. You still have all your papers intact. Will you have them arrested, or will you wait until they provide the person that sold it to them?





One thing I learned from this thread is that there are a lot of thieves on nairaland.

what of if it happens that it is my brother that sold the car to them? That is the point I am bringing in here. This is not a random stranger who stole the thing but someone related to u by blood and u are claiming he has disappeared.

MrOposter:
Did I ask him to burgle my home and steal my stuff? I should leave them because my brother is the thief? You wey wan buy something, you no suppose do due diligence?the right thing to do is to retrieve my solar system from them and anything wey dem wan do to my brother when they see him is up to them.

since ur brother sold it to them, u should first hold ur brother responsible. Let us look at it this way, ur brother could have told them lies that u traveled out of the country and u were selling ur things or any other sweet lie that would have made them buy it and since he is related to u, it would have been hard for them not to believe the lie. Ur brother can't just steal from u and disappear and instead of finding the criminal u are more focused on retrieving ur panel at their own loss. When u find ur bro this case will be solved easily.

lexy2014:
so what exactly was destroyed in michael okpara university that amounted to N2b?

did I say anywhere in my comment that the amount was up to 2billion?

It happened in funaab one year like that too. By the time they give each student 20k damages fee or no exam. Some few stupid people that like destroying what they can't build will just put everyone in trouble and the stupid thing is that they can still do the same thing tomorrow again.

I wonder why Nigerians took the match so seriously. Maybe because I am an arsenal fan so I don't get too emotional when any team loses or win. Some people can even go as far as abusing this players which show how emotional people can be. They pour their emotions into the wrong things instead of focusing on personal growth. Was it not guinea that their country welcomed and celebrated them even when they got evicted from the round of 16.

To be sincere I tried reading but the grammar here is too painful to the eye. I am not one who likes pointing out people's error because I know we can all make mistake. But for such a long post, u should always try to minimize ur errors.

I said something on a post here on Saturday that beating Cote D'Ivoire during the group stage was a disadvantage to us because they won't make the same mistake they did during the group stage again. If they had played equatorial guinea that beat them 4-0 they would have beaten guinea this time. Another thing is they had the support of their fans. Everywhere in the stadium was just orange. But the most obvious reason why we lost was because we didn't play well. Our midfield was non existent. We where finding it hard moving the ball from defense to attack. Same thing happened during the south Africa game and we were so solid in defense that was why we won that game but yesterday the defense was leaky.

There is one bridge at marwa round about. The first day I climbed that bridge, I was scared of my life and the bridge is now fucking long again.

VeryKindHearted:
Please why do people speak of Ghana not wishing us well?

We never played them in this competition so it's surprising how people are saying that Ghana are against us.

Ghana and Nigeria has this kind of beer with each other where they drag themselves. It just like mancity and man utd of Barca and Madrid. When ghana got disqualified from the group stage, Nigerians on Twitter dragged them. So they will be hoping we don't win, so they can do the same thing.

ADMAF:
Lol. You are wrong. UI has dominated the ranking for years although Covenant was best for last year.

yes ui let say like 2 to 3 years ago but recently covenant has been the best in Nigeria.

Since we beat them the first time, they will before cautious and play differently. If we are not careful we may lose the game, so all our players have to play very efficiently. I pray we win sha so many people won't die of heart attack and this team is the only one given us joy presently in this nation. Also the dragging we will receive from Ghana and south Africa if we lose pere, we just can't stand that.

U can't take this ranking at face value. Covenant university was ranked as number 1 in Nigeria according to times. There are many more ranking and what they use for their ranking varies but most times covenant comes first.

Beverlyjean:
Now tell me how copa is every 4 yrs... infact, 4yrs only happened 2 times in the past 3 decades

it ranges from 3 to 4 years, mostly 3 sha but recently it has been played like 2 years or even a year interval. So u are right

IfnobeGod20:
Is there any continent that doesn't battle for qualification before the real tournament? Cool down and learn please.

he is right to an extent because all the nations qualify automatically. For this year competition, 4 teams from north America where invited to complete the grouping and still yet some teams still have only 3 teams in that group.

Beverlyjean:
But they started playing it almost yearly so that messi will win it as age was coming

it is still every 4 years and Messi has only won it once, so ur statement is false.

We need to win today using any means necessary. If we don't win, we have a lot of enemies that will drag us online from different angles. I am sure Ghana, south Africa and many more countries are praying we lose. Omo we just have to win, we have bragged so much that losing today isn't acceptable.

khattab02:
They feel it a dead rubber match.


No need of extra time. It only Afcon I guess that still play 3rd place matches.

no, Asia cup played third place and also world cup.

Freetech:
With the leak of classified docs from the presidency?



It's clear opposition are behind these series of security problem - very desperate criminals.

Tinubu should beam the searchlight to Atiku and his cronies especially Dino and Obedience crews.

Do you observe that most this issues are happening in States where PDP and LP has interest in winning.

Lastly, the people reporting this news appears to have insider knoledge.

Under Jonathan, so we can as well say tinubu and buhari were responsible for the boko Haram and all insecurity with this ur statement.

IfnobeGod20:
That was why I said in the last 20 years. If you used the older years to judge, you may not get the hardest tournament. Yes, Euro have a more quality competition out of all country's tournaments but the most hardest with likely upset is AFCON, COPA America, EURO and the last Asian tournament. But if we should rate on quality, then, EURO, COPA America, AFCON and Asian tournament. All these ratings from my own view point.

alright I get u. But my own opinion euro looks harder because it isn't sure for the big boys. As good as France is the last time they won it was 24 years ago. Even Germany is like 28 years ago and this are top teams with star players. But u can't say the same thing about Brazil, Argentina or Uruguay who will surely win it unless there is an upset. For example this season Copa America u can almost predict that one of those 3 will will it but euro u would have to consider england, Portugal, Spain, France, Germany and like 2 other teams. U can't say for sure that any of them will win it.

IfnobeGod20:
Firstly, you need to take into consideration the number of south American countries participating in Copa America tournament. They are just 10 teams and has been won by 8 teams and just recently they started inviting from outside the continent.
Let me correct your stat. South America have only played 47 tournaments altogether and not 48.
Uruguay have won it 15 times. Argentina have won it 15 times. Brazil 9 times. The other former champions are Paraguay, Peru and Chile, with two titles each, and Bolivia, and Colombia, who have each won one.
Whereas 24 teams participate in Euro cup and has been won by 10 teams namely: Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Netherlands, Denmark, Greece and Portugal.

so from ur stats which is more competitive. The one that 3 teams has won it a combined 39 times out of 47 when just 10 are competing in total. Or the one that 10 has won it out of 16 times where 24 are competing?

ogawisdom:
If not for the absence of Argentina and Brazil, Euro Na world cup

u are right. The world cup has been dominated by European teams in the last decade. Except from Argentina and Brazil and once in a while Uruguay the rest of the Copa teams are just there to complete the competition, same with afcon and Asia.

IfnobeGod20:
Many commenters are confusing quality football with hardness. An Euro that you will surely know who will win it as the tournament begins unlike AFCON that any country team can spring surprise.

how do u know who will win euro. A competition that teams don't easily win back to back. Shouldn't hardest be rated on how hard it is to win it. Italy won 2021 own, do u want to tell me u predicted Italy would win it at the beginning? The one before that was won by Portugal, are u telling me u also predicted that. Oya tell me who will win the one this year.

Omotaday:
You are buttressing my first comment which puts Euro first.

And then, we can’t just focus on the winners and ignore the level of football, physicality and quality players for this tournaments. Again, I will put Euro first, followed by Copa.

sorry I thought u were one of the people saying Copa America is the hardest.

IfnobeGod20:
Euro is the simplex among the listed tournaments. There's no time the tournament will ever spring surprise. As soon as the each country roll out their teams, you will know wish country will win the tournament. No surprise. You will never see a small country springing surprise in the tournament. The winning of Euro has been between high powered football nations unlike COPA and AFCON. One small team can just cause an upset sometimes. Even from your own list, you listed up to 6 countries that have won COPA America. Same thing with AFCON.
For 20 years down the line, which mushrooms countries had won EURO tournament? But it has happened in COPA America and AFCON.

I just showed u the list of winners in Copa America and u still mentioned it again. Since the creation of Copa America their have been 48 competitions and argentina, Brazil and uraguay has won it 39 times. So the only time they have been surprising winners was 9 times. In the last 40 years their have only been 2 surprising winners Chile and Colombia and those two teams aren't small. So how is it better than euro whereby the highest winning is 3. Different winners almost every year except when Spain and west Germany won it twice in a row. But Argentina has won it 3 times in a row same as Uruguay. Brazil has won it 4 out of 5 competitions and u are telling me it is competitive. Euro remains the most competitive because u don't know who will win it until the finals. Just search google for list of winners of Copa America and see Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil dominating the winner list. Winning it almost every year. At least one among them must enter final.

Let me shock those that think Copa is harder. They have played Copa America 47 times and just only 8 times that a different team has won it. That means the remaining 39 has been won by Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. Argentina and Uruguay have both won it 15 times while Brazil has won it 9 times. While the remaining 7 teams struggles to have 8 wins.

Dynamicboss:
Is it 3 or 4 years?

4 years. They changed the order around 2006 before it was 3.

Dynamicboss:
Euro - it is played every 4 years sef like world cup

Copa too is played every four years, but the 3 big boys win it most times.
