8 years, no scandal.
And “they” searched, hard.

You can say that again
"searched hard"

booz:
That shows how much the human race hates discipline and sanity! DJT the greatest ever!

Donakx trump sef go try

But his is a scandalous fellow

joeace2020:
True. A president with empathy and desire for world peace. Only the ignorant religious blacks think otherwise because of his stance on same sex marriage. Everything religion clouds our sense of reasoning and automatically pricks our fragile egos

don't mind them

The foundation of Nigeria was built by white folks as well , like many other colonised nations , the only difference is that we decided to destroy that foundation instead of taking the good in it like nations like South Africa, Kenya and Botswana who are not consumers but producers in their regions . By the way what system did the blacks fit into in south Africa? . My point here was that they were not short sighted, they knew there were talks of such things and organised themselves for the attack, we are only talking now about it when such countries are ready to start the dumbing . Is their organisation and quick thinking thanks to whites? . Yes many black people need reorientation but let's not generalise that all are as disorganised as we are. All blacks started from nowhere , let's not make excuses for dragging our feet.

yea true

...must the US be no.1 in everything..? if u must know,the US allowed Mercedes to export into the US tru Mexico nd Canada cuz of trade deals,but still tolerate mire than 40 percent import duty germans placed on US imported cars.. they kept quiet, cuz of Germany being an ally. more than 20 percent of ur said mighty sale of Mercedes cars are made in the US. the US is playing sucker just for political power in the world and trump says it's enough!. the US subsidises HIV drugs in naija to the tune of more than 60 percent, but naija turns around to massively kip importing china fake goods. yes, that must stop! lest I support the US to economically sideline naija.

I hope he is also ready to lose the "power" that comes with America first policies?

Runalong333:
Are we sure it's blacks or unorganized societies like our own that suffer this. Months back South Africans already knew which products must be produced for which countries in Africa, even before they signed. Right now their black business is getting their young industrialists ready to conquer by giving them money and training working with the government. This is not good for industries in countries like Nigeria, it's cheaper to produce quality goods in south Africa than in Nigeria and they give efficient service. We are in trouble with this. Yesterday I was watching on tv on how they want to conquer markets in west Africa, particularly Nigeria . This is not good.

the foundation of south Africa was built by white folks

now they can argue all they want, but it's the truth

After apartheid collapsed, they just fitted into the working system that has been built

Something that Zuma was a threat to, and he had to be derobed

So it's still the same thing

Most black folk need reorientation, especially in the concept of delayed gratification

bigpicture001:
....the US didn't lose any strength in the manufacturing sector. what happens is that the US. world political influence over economic super advantaged. they use thier economic strength to weird a lot of authority power. and hence signed a lot of trade deals with economic regions making them enjoy good balance of trade against the US, only so that they can always Influence them wen need be. china is man u putting it's currency to gain advantage on trade over developed economies also the cheap labour obtained from factories over there is fuelling china's manufacturing growth.. it's time the US reverse all those trade policies,since most agreement are obselete

LMAO

between cars made by General motors and say Mercedes

who do you think is more patronized on the global scale?

That's just ONE EXAMPLE

there are many others

bigpicture001:
...the economy is gaining strength more than ever..under trump. his trade war is so direct needed

rolling back regulations especially in the financial sector is going to have its effects very soon

Trade war that you cannot win is what you are setting up

Have you asked yourself why Germany products do well in the international trade despite the high price

I'll give you a hint, it's because their products are competitive

America lost the manufacturing battle because they are NO LONGER COMPETITIVE in that department

They still do very well in the service sector because they are competitive there, but as for manufacturing, except they step up, they are in for a long ting, because all other countries will even hammer heavier sanctions on the U.S.

This trunk guy is a maniac

casualobserver1:
It destroyed US Economy but not US Businessmen. The biggest players made billions, but the American workers suffered and are still suffering.

The economy is different from the business tycoons. The business tycoons don't care about country or anything. Just the money, and they can make the money anywhere in the world.

you are right

it was all about the profits

Now that oga trump is president, that country is about ti slip further in the abyss, with his rolling back regulations and all

It's time to move on
unfortunately

Flye:
I really understand you and this is actually my fear about this deal, Nigeria will soon turn to united state with trade deficit with everyone we trade with.
Right now Chinese company are setting up factories in Ghana with the intension of entering Nigerian market. We use the way tokunbo cars exporters used cotonue has a base to target Nigerian market and it worked for Benin republic so much that 30% of their GDP is actually based on Nigeria's tokunbo car market.
We lack industrial infrastructures and any body setting up industry must provide those infrastructures which will add to the cost of production.

I'm aware that Nigeria has advantage in certain in certain way for example we have edge in petrochemical, fertilizer. Plastics and certain Agricultural product but I doubt we will benefit much from this agreement with the current attitude of our leaders.

yes o


black folk and myopia

What strategy have we put in place to counter the incoming wave

Black man own is instant gratification and enjoyment without thinking about the future

dyydxx:
You still don't get it. The cost of production in Nigeria is very high and if we sign this trade pact, EU companies will set up shop in Morroco and flood us from there with there products getting here tarriff- free, which would be cheaper than our own local products....There is no hope for competitive Nigerian businesses especially manufacturing companies to cope.

The south-Africa that he is talking about haven't signed it too to avoid there economy being a dumping ground. This is a mistake

That isy fear too nwanne

This is war and anyway to crush your competition is what this world is about.

Having fewer restrictions will DESTROY our advantage

After signing that free trade stuff on textiles in the 90s, what happened to our textile industries

Thdy are DEAD!

Same with many other industries


we need to be VERY CAREFUL IN AFRICA

China practices a lot of restrictive trade
And tgey cheat too

Flye:
This are the argument we should be having on this page unfortunately Nairaland is full of kids, semi-illitrates and empty headed lazy youths who has taken over the first page.

It's a shame really

OfficialAPCNig:
Abeg which area of economics are you quoting from, because personally I think this is the best document he has ever signed in his life.

His budgets of yam, suffering and poverty can go to hell.

It's common sense.

Cost of production in your country is higher than many of these countries.

Besides, some of these African countries are dumping grounds for goods from Europe,


What this simply means is that the country will be filled with cheaper goods from other countries

Nigeria is about ti become a dumping ground o


Because Europe will flood these countries with their products, and those products will end up here

Look at what is happening at cotonou


We have to really stso up and police our borders, such that it's only made in Africa goods that comes in tariff free
European goods from African countries shoukd me taxed as usual.

but we have criminals at the customs service

So I don't know

thatigboman:
match don end, u enter politics.
Most of your arguments dont hold water one bit. Some are sheer ignorance.
Britain couldnt have merged canada, US and Mexico, because they didnt even colonise mexico. And their history is different. It was irish guys that they england were colonising that ran to the new worlds -Australia and America. And when they came with the king's army, the americans revolted. 13 colonies. Came together and fought them and won their fight for independence. Then france was colonising another part, spain was colonising another part. And gradually the americans fought some from red indians, negotiated some, and forcefully took some like texas and new mexico from mexico. Bought alaska from russia.
U should have said that nigeria founding fathers should have learnt from greater india. Then one country, but at independence, the muslims demanded for their own country. Pakistan. Later bangladesh even broke out.
Britain wanted to rule the islands of lagos and hong kong for 100 years. That of hong kong worked out but that of lagos did not because of black man's mentalitity. Today, can u compare lagos with hong kong?

At last someone that knows some history

Indeed it's the black man curse, or will i say mentality that ruined Lagos
It's supposed to be in similar shape with say Hong Kong or Jo'burg, but look at it today

Coupled with that some clannish foolish Yoruba folk will still be shouting go home to those from other ethnic groups that have made Lagos their home, while other megalopolis are encouraging multiculturalism and a vibrant city

If you really understand how men are wired, you'd know that a woman is not the cause of P'Square's spilt. Some guys (friends in school) even pass babe around and still stick together, not to talk of twins.

You sabi the drill

oluwayimika123:
OP actually made lots of sense.
I will share my own little experience about some of this multinationals.
Last week wasn't really a bright 1 4 me

On Monday, I got a mail 4rm P&G that d position I applied 4 has been filled up. What made dis funny is d fact that I did online test then I got called 4 a test in dier premises wch I got a mail that I ACED and I shld b on d look out 4 d next stage. A month after, I sent a mail as a form of reminder that was wen I was told the position has already been filled up and i may keep chking dier site 4 oda vacancies.

On Thursday again I got a regret mail 4rm on of the Big 4s after I made it tru to d final interview stage going tru all d test stages to d interview stage. I rmba one of the guys we went 4. D interview 2gda told me later dat interview nite he ova heard one of dier staffs asking the HR person dat escorted him out if his/her own candidate has been interviewed.

Even the so called ones that advertise dre's are reserved 4 dier families

Still job hunting tho buh I kinda lost interest somehow

don't be discouraged

Keep trudging on

Winners NEVER QUIT, and I think you are one

At least you were able to make it past the hurdles, it's the Naiha factor that failed you

Andrez123:
Your anger and xenophobic mentality is one of the reasons why Nigeria will never move forward, what has the English national team or even the current English people has to do with Nigeria politics? England gave Nigeria independence on very stable grounds but our greed and corruption is what destroyed the country and not the British, the only mistake British made was giving us independence, I wish they were still ruling us, we would have been a much better and developed country by now, you mentioned that the British milked us, I don't see our politicians doing any better, our own brothers are milking us a 100 times more than the British since independence.

Each generation of politicians and military regime has been worse than the one which preceded it, they all milked us more than the British, Azikiwe, Awolowo and co all brainwashed nigerians that we are much better ruling ourselves which was a big lie, our history has now shown that.

Please stop blaming the British for our problems which is solely caused by our our greed, avarice and incompetence. We only have ourselves to blame. In Nigeria what politicians do is to always find someone or something to blame for their incompetence even though it's very obvious it's their fault.

tell him o

franchasng:
Our leadership problem started from tribal and religious bigotry of the first leaders after 1960 which made the military guys then to start plotting the first coup....they accused the Tafawa Belewa led govt of being tribalistic and biased, so they wanted to topple him and install Awolowo whom they believed was decentralized enough to lead Nigeria but they failed in their execution and that mistake is what Nigeria is still suffering till date.

The foundation of Nigeria was totally messed from the onset by British colonial masters.

Why didn't they merge Mexico, Canada, Trinidad and Tobago as USA You think if they did, USA and Canada would have advanced they way they did today

Merging Northern Nigeria with Southern Nigeria was a big mistake that destroyed the future and present of Nigeria.

Imagine same British people merged Cameroon, some part of Benin Republic with Nigeria, and u think they aren't mad They are totally wicked and mad

do you think America was made up of people of the same ethnic group,?

What of Canada?

They chose to melt into a pot, and create a new country

Nigeria on the other hand decided to be comolex and complicated

givan:
God of GEJ is paying them back in their own coin. See brexit, see small Croatia!

Well sha

resurgent2019:
You find it funny because you managed to escape Nigeria. If Nigeria was so good, you wouldn’t have ran out of her.

No expose me na

franchasng:
u can call it anything u like i don't care because if not for Lord Lugard and the selfish, wicked British govt, a wicked, biased, tribal, religious bigot like the current president can never ever be my president

I feel your pain tho

having a terrorist as president is not easy at all


The country is in a worse shape because of him


Shebi we were desperate in pushing GEJ out, now see the result

franchasng:
British (English) government merged wicked Northern Nigeria with Subtle, reasonable Southern Nigeria in 1914....and in 1966 some group of young soldiers made attempt to correct that mistake but messed things up during execution of their good plans which led to Nigeria's civil war backed by same wicked, selfish British government that helped Northern Nigeria with their deceived Middlebelt and Southwestern Nigeria alliance that led to the death of over 2 million innocent Southeasterners and southsoutherners known as Niger Delta today

England is the main reason Nigeria is backward! England intentionally supports northern Nigeria knowing they are barbaric and backward thinking as a way of ensuring that Nigeria remained backward and underdeveloped to their advantage.

England after milking Nigeria and Africa dry never gave Africans any free opportunity to come to their country and live as citizens just as America did for decades using Visa Lottery Programme, which Canada and Australia are also doing indirectly. British people are very wicked, selfish people...with free visa and free flight ticket, I can never step my foot in their land, I rather go to France, etc

This must be most hilarious piece of shit I have read this year

Croatia in the finals
hurray!!!
now it's left to Belgium to beat them up in the third place match

4 mins extra

And the Croatians fans are booing

Aldebaran:
Too bad

LMAO

Croatia should have buried this game since

Patrioticooduan:
Nope

If the British people hadn't carved 300 ethnic groups into one, we won't be in this shyte. They are always behind the Northerner's back, hence the born to rule mentality. No European( apart from Russia) has up to 50 ethnic groups not to talk of 300 that we have in Nigeria.
Britain and France are behind Africa's problems

having 300 ethnic groups in one country is not the problem

it's the type of people that makes up these ethnic groups that is the problem

Clannishness and wickedness tribalism is in the bone of many, and it boild down even to local gov't level.

for example, if you are Mbaise in my state of origin, you are automatically disqualified from a lot of things, even the govt house.
we were this close from dislodging the bastard we have in that house, but where Ihedioha comes from disqualified him
Igbo to Igbo o

What about what the oron face in Akwa ibom, or Okun in Kogi state, or even the Idoma in Benue?

Black man needs to check himself and stop looking for who to blame

WinningSun:
you need to stop this entitlement mentality.
seun. review your forum. this shouldn't be on FO

well as I said before, the guy is in pain and we should be sympathetic to him

Though his point of view might be a bit faulty
