why my bombshell dey always pain you na

You drank palm wine againoo.

agaugust:


Hahahaa, so ordinary rhino poachers have their own share of killing south African army, and even on homeland soil for that matter, what happened to DENEL 70km long range artillery guns now ?


What if South African army faces 5,000 b.oko h.aram suicide cult fighters mixed with civilians, hiding and disguised as civilians in 20 different cities spread around the country ?

rhino poachers are 10 times less dangerous than b.oko h.aram, how will south africa cope ?

.

Sometimes is not a waste to pour some small quantity of water into that cheap palm wine of Makoko. It is for your good sake, trust me.

@GraigB
Did u know about this project Its FINISHED and I didn't know about it.

Thats GREEN POINT ATHLETICS STADIUM next to the CAPE TOWN STADIUM SOUTH AFRICA IS BUILDING WHILE naai-geria IS PEDDLING CR@P.

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1323131

@AGAUGUST how can I envy a country that relies on imported food for survival....How can I envy a semi failed state which depends on a hand to mouth for survival...How can I envy and be jelousy of a country that depends on the importation of fake medication to treat its people.

My point was about the project was that South Africa thought about it long before Nigerian navy even considered the procument. Nigeria navy is also consideres buying and this is not a done deal.

South Africa with its 12 Rooivlak atleast are indegenous and produced in South Africa...where are Nigerian products??
Rooivalk is ranked among the Top Ten Best Attack Helicopters in the World....WHERE IS NIGERIA Last time you were full of praises for Egypt and now you are condeming their army which lost all the battles they fought with Israel but very excellent in killing their civillians.....who's the next you ll be praise singing

SOUTH AFRICA

@Msauza
Let me repeat the likes of Agaust are used to bragging about naai-geria to countries like Togo,Mali,Gambia etc...Theyr GET FRUSTRATED WHEN THEY SEE COUNTRIES LIKE SOUTH AFRICA AND NORTH AFRICANS "OPENING THE GAP".

[b]Naai-geria HDI Index didn't IMPROVE while the likes of Malawi,Tanzania,Liberia improved slightly.

I LOST INTEREST IN STICKING TO THE TOPIC THE DAY Agaust STARTED PLYING "DIRTY" WHENEVR HE WAS "CORNERED AND WHEN U POSTED THE PICS OF OUR WEAPONS". Instead of replying with PHOTOS JEALOUSY killed him he started talkin poverty,slums,aids etc..[/b]

Poverty has worsen in Nigeria and has rose to more than 70% in 2013 which means three in four people in Nigeria die of starvation.

http://allafrica.com/stories/201308100156.html

Agaugust is busy criticising SA while his more than 70% of the population live below poverty line, meaning less than 1$ a day. That is way far less than the cash that I give to my son to spend everyday when he goes to school.

[b]Food security for a mega population...and the Youth - Feedback from the Youth policy dialogue series, Nigeria

16 Apr 2013 by Samuel Kalu
kalusam`s Blog

Just few days after been nominated as the Local Representative for Young Professionals’ Platform for Agricultural Research for Development (YPARD) in Lagos, Nigeria. I was privileged to attend the Youth and Policy Dialogue Series on: Food Security for a Mega Population organized by HEDA resources, Lagos - Nigeria on 5th March, 2013. It was a very wonderful occasion involving individuals, farmers, scientists, government officials, youths and people from all walks of life coming together to discuss on a very important topic: Food!

The programme began with Mr. Kenton Dashiell, the Deputy DG, IITA – Ibadan, Nigeria highlighting the MDG1 goal: Reducing poverty and hunger, he stated that he taught the definition of poverty should be someone who lives on less than say $20 - $50 a day, instead of the $1 a day.

Youths in Nigeria do not want to be farmers due to what they consider as lack of profit in farming, He encouraged the youths to create a programme where they can service 10 customers(Farmers) per day at N300 (about $2) per customer.

There are various opportunities for youths to help in Agriculture, they include:

Providing access to credit facilities for the farmers.
Youths should be available in the rural areas where there are more farmers.

Due to the recent terrorist attacks in the Northern part of Nigeria and the high cost of transportation from there to the south which has sky-rocketed the price of basic food products especially in Lagos, there is a strong need to grow the following crops in commercial quantity in or near Lagos. They include: Tomato, Onions, Pepper, Vegetables, Okra. Crops like: Turmeric, garlic, cabbage, cucumber and carrot will also do well in and around Lagos.

In order to make money from Agriculture, youths need to be as creative as possible. The value chains in Agriculture is very wide, young people need to choose areas in the value chain and make research on them know they challenges the farmers face in these areas and proffer solutions to them.

Young people need to do a self evaluation in order to know what they have that others don’t and package themselves to help others meet that need. They need to support agriculture through Agricultural Entrepreneurship. There is a ready-made market for Agriculture. There is no alternative to job creation than agriculture.
Some notable Quotes:

‘farm Loans are usually meant to be long term, however the banks want their money in short term’

‘More than 64 million Nigerians go to bed hungry, everyday!’

‘70% of foods eaten in Lagos are grown in other states and outside Nigeria’

‘32% of young Americans are into farming’

‘Bananas are imported into Lagos from Ivory Coast’

‘Anywhere there is a problem, that is where the gold mine is’

‘Agro chemicals are being abused in Nigeria’

‘I think food & Agriculture are not the only important things in an economy, they are the most important’

‘We need to understand the entire Agriculture value chain, and know the areas we can fit in then create innovations to meet that need. Farming is highly profitable, farming is the future.’

‘Private sectors need to come in and assist farmers.’

‘Start small, think big! – Youths need to start small rather than look for non-existent white collar jobs.’

The Programme came to a close with the Executive secretary of HEDA Resource center, Mr. Arigbabu Sulaimon moderating the general comments and the YPARD Local Representative in Lagos State, Mr. Kalu Samuel making the final Comments, encouraging the Youths to support Agriculture as a means of development:

“If 64 Million Nigerian people go to bed hungry everyday then there is a great job for we the youths to feed them, let us all put the ideas we learnt from this programme into use so that together we can feed the hungry population!”

If you missed the Programme, you can view the conversation by using the Hashtag: #WetinUThink.[/b]

@Msauza
He lied yesterday when he claimed CAPE TOWN was hit by POVERTY. After reading an UNFINISHED research by UCT that was CHALLENGED few days after it hit the streets.

THE TRUETH IS CAPE TOWN UNLIKE SOME CITIES IN SOUTH AFRICA. CAPE TOWN IS SURROUNDED BY "FARMLANDS" THE WESTERN CAPE HAS THE MOST ADVANCE FARMING INDUSTRY IN AFRICA. Cape Town is a FOOD EXPORTER TO UK,US,OZ,NZ etc..has been like this since 1652.

Everyone knows FOOD IS CHEAP IN CAPE TOWN.

Agaust PLEASE VISIT HDI Indexed of different areas in Cape Town ONLINE.

UCT at it again Sometimes they COCK UP AND APOLOGISE

[b]SA, Africa laden with tech opportunities
By Admire Moyo, ITWeb's portals deputy editor.
Johannesburg, 7 Mar 2012

[The number of African people with access to mobile devices will surpass those with access to electricity, says political analyst Daniel Silke.]

The number of African people with access to mobile devices will surpass those with access to electricity, says political analyst Daniel Silke.
Tech entrepreneurs should capitalise on the vast investment opportunities that lie in SA and the African continent.

So said Daniel Silke, an independent political analyst, in a keynote address at yesterday's Cisco CxO Forum, hosted in partnership with ITWeb, in Bryanston.

According to Silke, the world is going through global power shifts that have seen emerging markets become centres of both economic growth and geo-political decision-making.

Thanks to the rise of a robust middle class on the African continent, Silke believes that, by 2030, Africa's economy will be larger than China's. “At present, Africa's gross national income is more than India's, while 12 of the richest African nations' gross national income is more than China's,” he said.

The rise of the African urban consumer, Silke explained, will also result in a higher demand for tech commodities on the continent. “About 28 million Africans will have discretionary income by 2020, while the continent's top 18 cities will have the spending power of $1.3 trillion.”

He urged entrepreneurs to focus their investments on technology, as citizens are demanding more of it. He singled out broadband speeds, like 4G networks, as a critical investment area.

Revealing the continent's developments on the mobile front, Silke pointed out that, this year, the number of African people with access to mobile devices will surpass those with access to electricity.

Africa has 139 million Internet users, according to the Internet World Statistics, he revealed, adding that, in 2000, it was a meagre 45 million. “Out of these 139 million users, 37 million have Facebook accounts,” he said.

Silke also predicted a huge uptick in demand for IT consumer goods in SA over the coming years, saying 70% of South Africans experience upward income migration every year.

“South Africa's black middle class is now at 10 million and the number of upper-income black households is now growing at more than 20% per annum. About 600 000 households will move off the bottom rung income category over the next two years. The incomes of black South Africans have increased by 235% since 1996.[/b]

He also revealed that the 453 000 new jobs created in SA in the fourth quarter of 2011 was the highest year-on-year growth observed by Statistics SA in the formal sector since 2009.

Commenting on the local Internet standings, Silke noted that 39% of urban South Africans and 27% of rural users are now browsing the Internet using their mobile phones.

“At least seven million South Africans now have Internet access on their phones. Nigeria has the most Internet users in Africa with 44 million users; Egypt is in second place with 20 million; Morocco third with 13 million; and SA is fourth with seven million,” he pointed out.

IM MORE LIKE TO BELIEVE UNISA THAN UCT WHEN IT COMES TO "SOCIAL ISSUES". UCT is an elite varsity and knows FOKOL about the people of Cape Town its WORSE with SA.

@Thiza,Msauza

NOTE THIS WAS IN 2008. Silke is RIGHT WHEN HE SAYS SA BLACK MIDDLE CLASS IS AROUND OVER 10 MILLION. UCT research claims these were mainly TEACHERS

Digesting UCTs junk.
SA middle class clasifictation
Earns=R15000-R50 000 per month.
SADTU has over 4million members, most teachers salary is around R16 000 per month.
Civil servants like prison warders,nurses,municipal admin workers,traffics etc..were COUNTED BY UCT research.

Black middle class totals 9.3m: Unisa study
Friday, 14 November 2008
The number of South Africans who have joined the black middle class has increased by 3 million between 2001 and 2007, according to a study by the Bureau of Market Research at the University of South Africa.

Images by Gallo Images / www.gettyimages.comThe study estimates that the black middle class - defined as black South Africans aged 16 years and over and within Living Standards Measures 5-7 - totaled 9.3 million in 2007, up from 6.3 million in 2001.

Conducted by Research Professor at the BMR Prof Eric O Udjo, the study not only computes the size of the emerging black middle class by province but also investigates the residential profile, status in household, age and sex distribution, marital profile, fertility and mortality as well as migration patterns.

Prof Udjo's research estimates that KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng and Mpumalanga (in this order) accommodate the largest proportions of South Africa's emerging black middle class.

Further interesting findings of the study reveal the following:

The growth rate of the population of the black middle class aged 16 years and over was 6.5% per annum during the period 2001 - 2007.
Females contributed about half the population of the emerging Black middle class aged 16 years and over in 2007.
An emerging black middle class female has 2-3 children by the end of her reproductive life

@Andrewza
I studied in the WESTERN CAPE and going with Silke RESEARCH ON S.A.'S MIDDLE CLASS NOT UCT ?

UCT findings were QUESTIONED by Saki Macozoma,UNISA and other academics.

SILKE'S RESEARCH IS IN LINE WITH UNISA,WITS,STELLENBOSCH FINDINGS. UCT is good in some things not issues like RACE. Theyr still struggling on that one.

“South Africa's black middle class is now at 10 million and the number of upper-income black households is now growing at more than 20% per annum. About 600 000 households will move off the bottom rung income category over the next two years. The incomes of black South Africans have increased by 235% since 1996.

^^^^^^^^This research by this ECONOMIST Silke was done in 2010. Profiling SA after the WC.

MEDICINE,ENGINEERING,ARTS etc..yes UCT but SOCIAL ISSUES NO TO UCT.

NO TO THE "ELITISTS".

Sometimes I take for granted that you have a 33% capacity brain only to find out how much lesser your weak brain can reason. Or maybe I should send through some images of being welcomed to your Thaba Tswane Military base and how your women soldiers "readily and happily" went into "bedmatic attack" mode in a proudly South African way? MsauZa and his younger brother CraigB ... please give me a break with your postulations about your Mzansi! I am here, there, and everywhere!! Very much on the move!! My job comes first!!
