Purchasing power is low in Nigeria

Very few indigenous labels and investors in Nigeria to pump heavy capital into developing artistes


Weak legal enforcement systems that do not checkmate music piracy in Africa


Weak legal systems that allows an artists to walk out of his music contract with a record label without cause

Problem is that dollar is still 1200 to naira. We don't need more things to devalue our naira. Nigerian government should ban Disney if they have sense as they are trying to penetrate to generate money. And Nigerians are dumb,willing to jump on abroad threads

In my opinion, it's not for the Nigerian domestic market or Nigerian people overseas

It's just making something different for their customers and bringing variety

That's why American record labels partner to sell K-pop


That's why Raggae and Hip-hop are sold by White owned Labels alongside bles, country, rock and pop

Different flavours for sale
It is a different product

You don't have sense. Disney is about money,they don't care about whatever plus they are going to twist the culture and put rubbish there. Nigeria artists with that sane dream is killed now

Disney is just experimenting with variety
Disney has done Aladdin. Mulan, Black Panther, Snow white, Mickey Mouse .

Arabic. Chinese, African , Western stories and cultures.

White corporations have produced movies on slavery like roots, 12 years a slave, Django

So far there is potential for interest and variety ( something different) and a potential revenue lead.

All is strategy for revenue and variety. Some record labels sell Jazz. hip hop, raggae, trap and R& B and Gospel so any style You buy as a customer. They still make money

Asians sell Nigerian food abroad. Does that make them Nigerian.

To me if it is real, it is just an experiment of a difference flavour of movie script.

Exploiting the Nigeria population as usual.

In my opinion, domestic Nigerian purchasing power is poor in dollar terms despite the population. Naira revenues from Nigeria cannot presently impact Disney's dollar based bottom line

Information on the internet states that Disney earned 4 8 billion dollars from major movies revenue last year 2023.
Funke Akindeles 2023 film " a tribe called Judah" grossed over a billion naira ( almost 1 million dollars) and is said to be one of the top grossing films in Nigeria.
That figure is less than 1% of Disney's revenue from movies in 2023
I believe If Disney is doing the film, it is just an experiment and is not expected to be a major revenue generator.The data speaks

Politics / Re: Marketers Will Pay Naira For Dangote Fuel, Says IPMAN by Laird(m): 11:17pm On Jan 23
Kenochi:
I have read most comments on this thread and I have to be honest,the discussion is very robust,no insults just plain economics,this is how decent discussions should be,you leave the thread more informed and educated
I strongly believe that based on this news alone,the naira might have a strong rally
There was this apprehension that Dangote might charge in dollars for some products but this is a very good move
The second checkmate that will sustain the rally o the naira is if the Nigerian government and Dangote can work out a payment system for his crude oil that will not put further strain on the Naira
If the two measures are put in place,it will release a lot of pressure on the demand of Dollars
I repeat,those hoarding dollars will soon drink garri with their dollars,it is not a prophecy it is simple economic reality
Once you cut off the head of the snake(buying and selling of Refined products in foreign currency),the body will have a calm sleep


Good analysis from a different point

But Nigeria is still an import dependent country

Most things are imported apart from crude oil and the population is still growing and it is going to take.a lot of low interest loans to fund Nigerian domiciled companies
that would substitute and produce and sell in Nigeria goods and services that used to be imported to ensure imports are down at least 80 percent

Petrol aside
Politics / Re: Marketers Will Pay Naira For Dangote Fuel, Says IPMAN by Laird(m): 11:07pm On Jan 23
ivolt:

First, Nigeria does not dash out any money.
It buys goods it needs at international price.

The government get its forex primarily from oil export.
If Dangote refinery sells in Naira, it means it will pay for the crude it buys
from the NNPC in Naira too.
So, the government will be getting less forex than it used to unless it strictly
sells to Dangote from increased crude production.
Of course, some forex will be saved in the process due to the extra value created
and also shipping costs assuming Dangote can produce at a competitive rate.

This only applies to local market, whatever Dangote export is a positive for the government.

Very brilliant analysis

Someone was dealing with a medical condition that affects women and even female Virgins and teenagers and people are busy Insulting her. A health condition of natural causes that causes infertility . Some health conditions just happen and have nothing to do with morality, spirituality,tribe or religion or lifestyle

That's wrong and wicked to be abusing such a person for a heath issue caused by nature.Some medical issues have no known cause and just happen . Please be respectful .We are all Humans

Europe, UK. USA, Canada and Australia are tightening their borders to immigration especially from Africa.


They have so many other Nations also with people who want to move to those Countries from Philippines, India, China, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Kenya, South Africa


I know there are a lot of risks but immigration rules change regularly. Nigeria is not high on the priority list
Of those countries to take our citizens as their immigrants (due to collective Naija bad behaviour unfortunately ) when they have so many other options and so many countries with willing and better behaved candidates to choose from


You might have your sentiments and there are risks but every Nigerian child should get a western passport if possible



A word is enough for the wise

The demolition was targatted at the Igbos who constitute the large majority of traders in this computer village. Who be Powa? An unseen group through which Tinubu does his vengeance, this time, in Computer Village.

Targeted at who. A person wants his property back. Is it out of place

You are very right. I once wanted to take a house and the Landlord told the Agent that he doesn't want an Igbo person.

I was so shocked to later discover that the Landlord is Igbo.

It's unfortunate but the truth. Most of the unenlightened Igbo tenants are troublesome . The few exceptional ones that are nice and well behaved ,Landlord would like them.but the majority are wahala.

A lot of startups failed last year as purchasing power of most Nigerians is low

A lot of start ups may run out of funding

Slow and stable or fast but unstable

Please every landlord has right to do repossess his or her building with the proper channels
Unfortunately some Igbos can be very difficult tenant especially those in the informal sector. This causes a lot of problems for the educated enlightened ones


They make a lot of noise, boast unnecessary and are difficult tenants. There are still some good ones in the informal sector but it's like the bad eggs are many

Family / Re: Nigerian Couple Who Lived In Empty Uncompleted Building Shares Growth by Laird(m): 7:43pm On Dec 27, 2023
money121:

A Nigerian couple has caused a stir with their transformation photos after living in an uncompleted building for 3 years after marriage.

Simisola responded to a netizen who asked individuals to explain growth with two photos by sharing these motivational images.

In response to inquisitive online users, Simisola stated that the 2020 photo was shot, and the older one was taken in 2017.

She claims they were married in 2020, went through difficult times, and are now parents to two children. She remembered that they were penniless and had lodged in an uncompleted building.

According to her:

“No never, we got married in 2020 and now with 2 children. “It (the first picture) was from 2017, One of my weight loss students just paid 3,000naira for a meal plan and we were happy food don set for the week. “We were outside one of his uncles’ house at Abule Oko at Agbado Oja.

“The man gave us one of his empty buildings because my hubstar relocated to Lagos from Nassarawa where he sold off his chicken farm because we started our relationship. Anyways, we lived there till we had money [/b]to get a place in Magodo.”

Source: https://Gistmeloveblog.com

lalasticlala, Mynd44, OAM4J Seun Nlfpmod

So because of love and marriage [b]( extra responsibility)
, he sold off his chicken farm ( we were not told if it was doing well or not) and came to Lagos because of woman and was sleeping in uncompleted building

The story doesn't add up 1 bit. Also what steps did they take to upgrade. Dis his uncle or anyone help him or he suddenly hit one contract ( rare occurrence)

Story is so vague and unclear and left out so many important details for us to conclude

Politics / Re: Nigeria Need To Slow Down Infrastructural Investment To Grow Our Economy by Laird(m): 11:51am On Dec 26, 2023
Great Intellectual Discussions

My opinion is that 2 actions are mainly needed



1- Government should focus on provision of roads, power generation and supply , security healthcare , education in areas like industrial clusters, farms, big organisations who employ a lot anf pay taxes , markets. Commercial nerve centres. expanding areas, areas of mass migration


A country with limited resources can't just build infrastructure to nowhere



2-The Government can also reduce the taxes banks pay and my opinion is government should reduce treasury bill yields to 0.5% annually so as to steer banks to lend to the real sector at 9-10% annually. Banks have peoples deposits with them and should be guided to lend to organisations that prioritise domestic in country based education, agriculture, Medical production , domestic manufacturing, construction, power generation, healthcare, production for export, import substitution products, house owner , shop loans for qualifying customers

Read a lot of Bank heads diverted past government intervention money. So banks should use their funds

That's why Poverty continues to romance most of you Bigots.

Look at Elumelu and Davido flexing together... Dangote and other Billionaires across tribes are doing well together.

Even Tinubu and Peter Obi can never be enemies... They celebrate together in big events which none of you nitwits will ever come near.

MC Oluomo's top business associates are Igbo people...!

Onyema is a big fool for putting up this warp comeback defense, because I'm highly disappointed at him. There's no justification to hike up in threefolds when the other prevalent price determining factors have not varied. Higher demand than supply can never be enough to trigger such humongous hike by over 300% . It's just pure greed! You want to make the whole money you didn't make since January to November just in a couple of weeks. I blame the government for lack of price regulatory agencies in the country. Imagine this big fool with a lame defence.

100 percent greed and yes I am Igbo
