Reno always stands on the side of truth. The indimi familiy should prove Reno wrong by alleviating poverty around their surroundings instead of displaying their ill gotten wealth around.

Billionaires are not obligated to help the poor in anyway.

As a rule anything CW, Tyler perry I stay far way from it.. Except it has enough hype,then I might give it a chance.

It seems like almost every Tyler movie is a chick flick.

Wow. Actually ''black skin'' is caused by the chemical known as melanin, which serves to protect humans from the rays of the sun in tropical regions. Your ''black'' skin is a blessing from the Almighty, without which you would wither and die in the sun.




But NIgeria has ''advanced economically, technologically or scientifically'', since independence in 1960. Our GDP is now the highest in Africa. At independence we weren't even on the radar.

Technologically, we have advanced since independence. We manufacture a lot of things in this country, including vehicles (Innoson, Proforce, Anammco etc) and computers (Zinox etc). Sure we need to expand, but we have progressed.

Infrastructure has improved significantly since independence. In 1960 we had no expressways or flyovers or even a national power grid. No power stations existed in Nigeria until 1964 when Kainji Dam was commissioned by the Balewa govt.




This is an illiterate way of viewing South Africa's development.

Here is the educated way of viewing it:

Starting from the 1800s, the colonialists re-invested South Africa's export proceeds into the economy because of the presence of a large white settler community there who saw it as 'their country'. In the rest of their African colonies there was no such huge white settler community, and so all the colonialists did was loot those territories. Resources were extracted and profits deposited in Europe. That is why Nigeria's literacy rate was 5% at independence despite white rule for 70 years prior. That is why Nigeria was an undeveloped bush at independence with malnutrition, nake.d children running around, and zero industries.

We have come a long way since 1960. We have nearly 200 universities today compared to 0 at independence. Today, erstwhile villages like Abakaliki, Uyo and others now spot fancy expressways and shopping malls. Former empty space, Abuja, is now one of Africa's most beautiful cities, with a new world class airport from where you can catch a modern light rail train into the city centre.

We may not be where we want to be (yet), but we have certainly not stood still.

It's very funny when some Nigerians say that Nigeria was developed when the British colonised us.

When they didn't even build a single University.

It would never have worked in Nigeria because of Nigeria's huge size and relatively low production of oil compared to some of the Gulf and Middle Eastern countries. Dubai is a small country with a small population which makes sharing oil wealth much easier.

Somehow what you typed never seems to sink into the skulls of Nigerians

franchasng:
Black skin = backwardness, stagnancy, corruption, looting, criminology, promiscuity, drug trafficking, Hiphop music and rascality, foolishness, selfishness, greed, materialism, and of course tribalism


If you doubt me, check all the black dominated countries and cities, no matter how rich in natural resources they are, they never advance economically, technologically or scientifically.....from Nigeria to Gabon to Equotorial Guinea, to Ghana, to, to Ivory Coast to Mali, to Kenya to Ethiopia, to Liberia, to Cameroon, to just name it....the only thing that saved South Africa is the white people from Netherlands that helped to build reliable infrastructure and put in place working leadership and government, if not, South Africa would have been as useless as Somali

Barbados and the Bahamas are developed countries.

Don't always blame everything on black skin.

Sunnymatey:
Awesome.

Who wouldn't be proud to be part of such a developed society?

Isn't this wonderful? This is what we patriotic nigerians want for our country but those in the helm of affairs are setting bad presidence.

At least Lagos ought to be at the same level with Dubai.

Oil money is same anywhere.

Oil money is not the same anywhere.Dubai has a low population.

Where did you get the idea each country in the Eurozone doesn't have a central bank?

The European System of Central Banks (ESCB) consists of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the national central banks (NCBs) of all 28 member states of the European Union (EU).

Here is a list of central banks of Europe.

Yh but the monetary policies the ecb takes is used for all countries in the e.u that use the euro.

Cc grandstar , omohayek , blue3k

Why cant each country in the Eurozone have a central bank ?

YES!

Everytime, i see her, i am in absolute amazement.

Wow, for all of you complaining and cursing God over your own mistake, see how a human being is continuing her journey through this world.

Lol even Nigeria has exports more than it imports. It's hardly brought up.

In our 59 years of Independence , we haven't had trade deficits for 5 years.

vaxx2:
That should not be an excuse. Singapore is comparable to America.... if population is your yardstick of comparism, then no country is worth comparable to China and India judging by their I.3 to 1.4 billion population. not even America should be compared with India since population didn't do justice. ..... economy can be compared in whatever form . Ghana and Nigeria are comparable.

America has the best most enviable economy. yet it import more than export despite trump protectionism trade policy.

America is even the world's biggest importer.

https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/business/Ghana-spends-1-1-billion-on-rice-importation-Deputy-Trade-Minister-reveals-699410

The Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Robert Ahomka Lindsay has disclosed that Ghana imported rice worth $1.1 billion in 2017.

[b]According to him, rice importation “takes 82% of all imports into the country”.



Mr. Lindsay said, the leading product imported into Ghana every year from Vietnam is rice, which is by far the largest contributor to the import quota.

The Deputy Minister indicated, “We spent $1.1 billion last year on rice importation to Ghana”.

He strongly believe it is about time Ghana added value to its raw materials for exports in order to gain more from the resources of the country.

“This government’s focus and direction is on industrial transformation thus transforming our economy, the same transformation Vietnam went through some years ago led by its SME,” he said.[/b]

The reduction of rice importation the growth and consumption of local rice
The reduction of rice importation the growth and consumption of local rice
The Ministry of Agriculture says plans are in place to reduce the importation of rice by at least 50 percent this year.

This is to enhance the growth and consumption of local rice in Ghana.

Currently, Ghana imports 331 million dollars of rice annually, a development stakeholders have described as worrying.

Speaking to Citi Business News Deputy Minister of Agriculture, George Oduro said measures such as the ‘planting for food and jobs’ as well as the newly introduced Irrigation land facility system should help reduce the importation of rice by half.

“This year alone, our target to stop the importation of rice by 50 percent, maybe we can achieve that or more.” He said.

He also added that the importation of tomatoes is equally being looked at to reduce it soon.

“Then tomatoes too, we are trying by the end of this year to stop the importation of tomatoes and if possible export.”

He, however called for a collaborative effort to achieve this feat.

“We are putting measures to stop these importation of these food items because the possibility of us producing them here is there, we can. But only if we come together to show the interest. That is the only way we can solve this problem.” He added


Ghana rice import has never been 1billion dollars

I'm even concerned about where he quoted that rice imports are 80 percent if ghanas imports .

I don't know where that leaves phones , computers , cars , industrial machines etc.

If these guys feel so strongly about IMF and foreign powers they should reject foreign aid and loans. That's the real dependency people should worry about. Who everypays the piper calls the tune. Trade and investment is a good thing.

I swear and they forget that IMF structural adjustment policies is helping Egypt right now.

Apple were Trying too hard to present something original, they ended up with a crappy show, story & acting. But it's Apple it's still gonna Sell.

Mad o , so apple sef has started making films

Blue3k:
You brought up military topic points first. Did you not want me to respond to it? Take your own advice about starting new thread. Lol the funniest part is you're still talking off topic subject's yourself. I guess you cant help yourself.

Africa benefits from trade from stronger nations. Nigeria has options to grade more with poor neighbors but intra African trade still below 10 percent.

Free trade is the moving goods and services with little no restrictions or trade barriers. I think the existence of WTO good in general. It does help facilitate trade amongst nations. I'll just have disagree with trae being less free than its ever been.

You already said impovished governments dont enforce rules. If that's case accept your lumps until you're ready to regulate.

The dude you are arguing with seems like a nutjob.If he has his way he would turn Nigeria to North Korea.
