If you do any how, you will see anyhow. You will see that Emilokan Tinubu is not Muhammadu Buhari.

Recall that it was MC Oluomo that warned you all not to vote during Lagos governorship, just try nonsense and he as soldiers that ran away from Boo Haram will use you for shooting practice

Ha, you think we are going to be fighting on street. This one na Sabi anything

Femmyfamous4u:
Okay, I challenge you to state who did better than Tinubu in the following indices:

Security
Revenue generation
Employment
Environment
Economy

Lagos as been the economic hub of Nigeria since 1960 dude. It would have even done better without Tinubu and his Mafia

helinues:
Lol. Yet Lagos is the best destination for your people.

Why can't you people develop your region so that you can stay put..

Hatred they kill faster than Ebola

lagos has been that way since 1960, tin2 became govenor in 1999.
It's common sense

Corporate2020:
Yes, you are right.

Lekki-Ikoyi link bride, Lekki Bridge, Lekki-Eppe Expressway, Abule Egba Bride, Agege Pen Cinema Bridge, LASTMA, LASEMA, all the General Hospitals in Lagos which are all better than all the university teaching hospitals in Nigeria, e.t.c. were built / establishe by Lord Lugard. So, how come you all ran away from your village to die in Lagos?

Dude, you don't know Lagos. All these are not 1% of what Lagos is

LeoDeKing:
He was the governor of Lagos State. Did he transform Lagos state or maintained the status quo?

Tinubu and pandora Obituary are lightyears apart, go and verify.

1st class in Accounting and 3rd class in Philosophy, are you expecting both to have same outputs?

He didn't transform Lagos please. Maybe you were born in 1999.

We are sick and tired of all these propaganda.

The important issue now is if Tinubu will change this country for good?Although his win is highly debatable.

Al these distractions are not my concern, what will Tinubu offer? Is he going to make an impact?
If he continues the status quo, this country will scatter, sincerely. It will be ungovernable for him.
If Tinubu does not make a change, what would you have gained at the end of this?

The status quo is bad, very bad and it needs to change. This is the main issue that Tinubu needs to tackle and all the is propaganda will not save him when we start a mob.
If I were Tinubu, I will focus on working and not spreading propaganda. The first is his main responsibility.

If Tinubu can wow me in another 4 years, I for one will start campaigning for him but if he doesn't then it's all waste

But world Bank, NBA and IMF also say the same thing

Lol dey play

Stroy 😂
It's gone

jayAjoku:

If we get time for you guys, una go run

jayAjoku:
Nah bro I don’t really care I stopped watching football As far back as 2010 😂🤣 I don’t care who wins or lose I just like Ronaldo’s presence and work ethic I don’t support any club so I’m not in any way emotionally attached to any of the action heck Ronaldo can die tomorrow all I will say is rip and move on 😂🤣 I no care bro

Ysel2 work ethic that cannot win world cup. Work ethic that can only thrive against plumbers in Saudi pro league 🤣

Who this nonsense work ethic help? Somebody that is a narcissistic psychopath who thinks the world revolves around him.

jayAjoku:
I don’t care I’m okay with it 😂🤣🤣 Messi or Ronaldo no Dey feed me their achievements no Dey feed me 😂🤣

the world cares. You don't care because you are salty ronaldo fan who will never know what it takes to Stan a world cup winner.
What a loser 😂

SmartPolician:
Admittedly, AI is a threat to all jobs, but we all cannot be coders and programmers.

Years back, there was a BBC report that AI-powered robots officiate funerals in Japan. The report said that people patronise the robot when priests weren't available and that it was way cheaper than hiring priests.

But then, I don't think that AI can completely replace humans in everything, at least not now.

Back to digital marketing, experienced DMs will always do better jobs than any AI software, especially in content writing and copywriting.

In fact, most people use AI tools to enhance their crafts because the tools are not efficient enough to totally replace them at this time.

You have a lot to know about AI then if you think any human can do a digital marketing job better than AI in another 5 years

cjudy:
Person wey him career don die. Al Hilal stop wasting money on dead pessi

Person wey him career don die na him no fit win the last world 🤣🤣
Him Chop bench tire. World cup no be him mate

Beverlyjean:
Messi minions are just jealous of Ronaldo...they wish Messi was Ronaldo... theyvare the typical type of people that condemn what they don't have...
Condemned him not winning UCL with juve
Messi does worse with psg
Condemned Ronaldo for not scoring in Euro 16 final
Messi failed to score in copa America final
Condemned Ronaldo for scoring penalties
Messi needed 5 penalties in 5 out of 7 games to win WC
Condemned tap in by Ronaldo
Messi scored tap in in WC final
Condemned Ronaldo for joining Saudi league
Now they are celebrating it cos Messi has a chance to join

How can a world cup winner be jealous of a Saudi pro league player?

Are you joking? 🤣🤣

jayAjoku:
Lol Ronaldo always leading and setting the pace 🤣😂😂. Messi that is running back to Barcelona make shame no kill am on top weak performance.

Please messi fanboys no quote me I no well

After reading this comment, Ronaldo still doesn't have a world cup trophy.
He won't until he dies 🤣

TristanX:
I will personally like to see him in the so called camel league for two reasons

1) To laugh at Pessi gay boys because their god is also in the same camel league they talk down about

2) Messi will see how competitive the camel league is and his worshippers will appreciate what CR7 is doing there when he begins to flop

nothing matters anymore after the word cup victory. I swear

All these ones na just cry you dey cry. Your mates are looking forward to a rivalry at world cup, you are still praying for a Saudi rivalry, you no dey shame 😂

Lol, this small happiness wey ronaldo and his fans take dey carry body, Messi still Wan take am 😂

My company is now training artificial intelligence on how to do the job of a customercare representative and Telesales marketer. It means that we will no longer be required to employ individuals to do that job very soon.
We already sacked our graphic designer and digital MARKETERS, artificial intelligence does graphics for and digital marketing.

Artificial intelligence is going to take the jobs, it's the reason why you need to get skilled in such a way that AI will not be able to take your job. A revolution is coming and if you are not prepared it will sweep you.

A revolution is coming, be prepared or become useless entirely. We are leaving an era of applying for such jobs and it's happening slowly.

The minority ethnic groups in northcentral are starting a movement to emancipate themselves from thr modern slavery imposed by the hausa/Fulani hegemony. Who is to be blamed?

1. Fulani herdsmen.
2. APC
3. Peter Obi
4. Fulani elites.

Anyways, be rest assured that we will fuel this movement until the next election.

When Fulani herdsmen want to kill, they don't care if you are Igbo or Yoruba, they just want your land.

N3TRAL:
Like the name implies, Gross Domestic Product increases because of goods produced in a country. Imports are even subtracted from the GDP.

GDP does not only entails the amount of goods produced in the country. If for example I import tomatoes from Japan, it should reflect in the GDP of the country. GDP is the amount of products and service, whether produced or imported that in a country or state. The whole value of goods in an open market should ordinarily reflect on the GDP of that state but their no way for state or NBS government to ascertain the figure since they don't pay VAT on them hence we lack adequate Data to know for sure how much Ladipo, onitsha main ma2, Ariaria etc contributes to GDP

Now let's get it straight. Those selling at the market are at best wholesalers. The bulk of them are retailers.

At a typical construction market, traders sell Dangote cement, BUA cement or larfage. Whatever they have to sell in the market came from a source- Dangote, Bua or Larfage. Dangote group is a formal company that gives a near accurate estimate of the quantity of cement produced. His major business partners and distributors know how much they distribute. They know how many trucks of Dangote cement that are going to Anambra State for instance. Whatever the final consumers get at the market comes from those trucks. That's where they get the figures.

nope, look at to this way, since VAT is paid at the point of importation of an importer, when Papa chinedu imports a product from Taiwan using apapa port, he pays the VAT in Lagos which is used to determine the GDP of lagos state. When Papa chinedu moves these goods to his warehouse in Onitsha and starts selling it in main Market, he adds the he paid to the cost of the goods and then government can no longer know how many of the goods that papa chinedu has in Anambra state. Those goods that papa chinedu has in his warehouse and his stores in market are suppose to count for the GDP of anambra state. Government can use that VAT paid at Apapa to estimate how much of the GDP that Apapa port contributes but they don't have data of how it contributes to Anambra economy since the goods as bee moved to Anambra and is still in Anambra.

A typical grocery market has Peak Milk, Beloxxi (crackers) biscuits, Milo, Indomie produced in Nigeria. The companies supplying the markets are formal and have data of how many trucks they distributed. Whatever you buy in the market comes from those sources.

Like I said, getting the figure for companies that pay VAT is easy but you cannot know what happens at the open marler2 because you no longer know where those goods are the moment if leaves your company. If those goods are in Onitsha Main market, it's hard for government to know how they contribute to the GDP of anambra if government doesn't have data of the product in-Inflow and outflow in that market. To do that, you will need to develop a method to collect data from that market, with this you can now evaluate how that market contributes to Anambra state GDP in form of commerce. We don't have any database that does that in Nigeria.

Even to subtract imports, the bulk of things brought into the country passed through check at the port and are recorded. That's how Nigeria is able to calculate its balance of payment deficit. No one is going to go to mechanic village to count how many Toyota Camry engines are there because whatever Toyota engine they have passed through check and was recorded at the port.

government only have records of what happens at Ports, they cannot follow what happen in the market hence what happens at points adds to the GDP of the state hosting the port.
If I move a car from Tincan to Kogi, there's no data in Nigeria to know that that is in Kogi and I can even decide to move it Jos government cannot know how to factor that product into plateau state GDP.

To get the prices the products go for in the market is easy. The prices of two or three traders can be used. You can't sell a carton of Nasco cornflakes for 12,000 naira when others in your environment are selling for 10,000 naira. It is why I brought in the ANAP polls scenario of asking only a few percentage of the population.

What may actually affect the calculation of the GDP are small-scale production. Like the farmer who processes her Garri, the student who bakes and sells her chin-chin, peanut and cake and the tailor who produces clothes for people daily. However, the impact of small-scale enterprises engaged in production cannot be compared to those of medium and large scale enterprises. It is also difficult to account for small-scale businesses in advanced countries like Us, UK , especially China etc.

Smuggling and piracy can also affect the figures of imports.

it's what I am saying. Imagine you now have a large market like onitsha main market and Alaba where multiple small scsll business activity happens every second, how to you want to factor that into GDP?
They are not remitting Any VAT to you at that point for you to know

Iamgrey5:
You can always estimate by carrying out a survey.

It is the same technique used to carry out a survey for a presidential poll, it's not 100% accurate.

economic indicators are different from presidential polls. You cannot just into thr market and be asking people the worth of their products and how much they per day. Think na

As a matter of facts, government in Nigeria doesn't do that. They are only interested in collect fixed taxes that does reflect the value of the person paying it and hence cannot get a get a clear figure with expect to how much they contribute to the GDP.

If you want to know the GDP contribution of onitsha main market to Anambra state, you must know the average volume of goods in that market annually and to know that, you will need to create a database. Which of course does not exist in Nigeria

Iamgrey5:
Consumption is hard to Calculate so we just estimate as long as it statically acceptable for the level of confidence.

Investment is much easier.

you cannot estimate anything.

You can simply get the consumption of any sector my looking at the VAT coming from there. You cannot get that of open market.

It's unestimatable.

How do you get the investment of an average trader in Onitsha? tell me.

Iamgrey5:
GDP = C + I + G + NX

C = consumption

I= investment ( Private and public investment)

G=governormnent spending ( budget)

NX= net export

How will get the consumption and investment figures contributed by LADIPO market?

Iamgrey5:
I am an economist and we do alot of estimations in economics when we are not entirely sure of the figures.

Infact 90% of social sciences is based on estimation because everything we do is empirical research not Experiment.

tell us the formula

Iamgrey5:
look the Nigerian informal sector is big and commercial activities are determined by estimation with the help of traders.

That's what I have been trying to tell you since morning.

There's no way to know it.

Economists don't bother themselves about it because there's no data to work with

You can only work with what you have and not making up fictitious figures. If I import a product and sell without VAT, how do you want to know the market where it ends up and how I sell it?
