our industries gave us a far better GDP and GDP per capita so that we have the wealth to bribe your neighbours to beat a hell out of you when you misbhave,

GDP and GDP per capita are just cooked figures. A country that can't provide a basic need like electricity to its citizens and proper security from the likes of Boko Haram yet claims to somehow bribe some group to bomb another is a country made up of fools being led by fools.

Common dude,whats with the hate words,cant you make your points without name calling,why all the unnecesary insults,you have to be open minded to understand some things about us as a nation,there are many sad things one can be unproud of nigeria,and there are good things to be proud of too,




On eduation,you can check out our universal basic education,it is totally free,all over the federation,apart from this there are myriads and lots of alternatives,ranging from private schools,missionary schools,islamic schools, etc
For the secondary schools,it is based on merit,via a common entrance test,for one to enroll into unity schools,there is about two or more unity schools in the36 states&f.c.t,of which the fees is very low,n affordable to poor and average nigerians,apart from this,there are state schools ,which are hugely subsidised,as govt caters for all the needs,the students are meant to pay megare amount for miscilenous.

On electricity,we told you we currently have the capacity to generate 7,500,mgw,but shortage of gas makes it unrealisable,we also told you private sectors like total,oando,dangote are building gas production facilities,and pipelines network to cater for these needs,many hydro dams are nearing completion,more gas turbines n plants are also,n ipps are been built by industrialist and states,the northern states are also developing solar plants as we speak,nigerians will begin to reap these fruits from q4 2017-2018.

You keep talking of capacity - do you know what capacity means? You might have the capacity to produce 100,000MW but end up producing only 1000MW of which only 400MW reaches the consumer. See the difference?

Kenyanstar:

Am surprised that most Nigerians always use the same argument of lack of gas, petroleum products to run electricity producing generators on militants, terrorists and saboteurs. While at the same the foreign multi-nationals facing the same problems always end up meeting their production, supply and exportation of the same gas products despite the challenges.

Yea that sounds mysterious,
You must understand that militancy is hydraheaded,multidimensional and perpetrated as a subtenarean subtaffuge,
Even,the ioc,downstream mncs,n likes suffer from pipe line wreckage,vandalism etc,the issue is that,while at that there is contant repair and maintainance operation on those wrecked pipe,

Another issue can be that that,the old national grid system,left many pipeline on-surface,hence govt is burrying them underneath for protection

Another dimension,is that the locals felt cheated that the contract for surveillance of pipe line n oil assets was robbed off them by the present govt

Another of it is that,it is the only means to make their voice heard,even as this issues sprang,while the present govt attempted to hault the amnesty programme

Another dimension is that,during the military juntas in time past little or no allotment was given to the indegenes of niger delta in prospective oil licencing,extraction and production,which gave rise to marginalization,

Another thing to it is the neglect,environmental degradation,oil spillage,loss of aquatic resources,poor water heigyene,n destruction of farms due to oil exploration,extraction n production


Now there are calls for captive decentraliza5ion of production of alternative power source,in that,there is oil discoveries in the north,west and middle belt,apart from east n niger delta,hence,hydro dams, solar plants etc

While the need for govt to run an all inclusive govt,on the pivot of fairness,equity,equality and forthrightness.


There is the building of more refineries,both single line,modular,multitask etc ongoing,while also the rechanelling of pipe line,with more amphibious units of the army civil defence,navy ,airforce,mounting their surveillance and reconaissance on the national assets.


Another dimension to this is that,there is the lucrative busting of pipe line as a means of theft for crude and profiteering via oil bunkering by exparts n locals,

Another dimension is that the cabals of the downstream sector in tandem with iocs,vandaliae the oil facilities n pipes as a means of perpetual attraction of turn around maintainance -tam and repair projects to be awarded them by proxies of their companies.

Hollywood and Nollywood are like water and oil or Nigeria and electricity, they can never mix to form anything consumable.
The difference from Americas hollywood, Indias bollywood, Chinas "Wandahood" and Nigerias Nollywood is the quality and script of content provision that is produced. The poorest production in the group is obviously Nigerian nollywood that is famoulsly known for its poor picture quality, lack of sound effects, epileptic scripting, confused directing, broken story lines, dysfunctional editing and use of indispensable language that does not reflect the diversity in the intended consumers. The fact that subtitles are written in broken English and use of either pidgin english and a mishmash of several dialects that dont augur well with majority movie lovers.

ouch,I didn't see that coming . Lol@ nollywood and Hollywood "going hand in hand"

SHEEEEIITTTT! I'm suspended;obviously someone didn't like my truth enemas! Am back,byatches,its time to bend over again. I've long known you have troubles understanding simple things. Let me try to break it down.

Here's the legatum prosperity index posted some pages back. On the whole we're 97 just ahead of Belarus and you guys are 135 ahead of Libya,just after MALI,OMFG!! When reset for Africa ranking we're 8th and you're 30th behind giants like Malawi,Lesotho,Swazis and even Cameroon. The ranking methodology is similar to HDI involving a host of variables.

The 2016 Legatum Prosperity Index is based on 104 different variables analysed across 149 nations around the world. Source data includes Gallup World Poll, World Development Indicators, International Telecommunication Union, Fragile States Index, Worldwide Governance Indicators, Freedom House, World Health Organisation, World Values Survey, Amnesty International, Centre for Systemic Peace. The 104 variables are grouped into 9 sub-indexes, which are averaged using equal weights. The 9 sub-indexes are:

Economic Quality
Business Environment
Governance
Education
Health
Safety & Security
Personal Freedom
Social Capital
Natural Environment

For example, Personal Freedom includes freedom of speech and religion, national tolerance for immigrants and ethnic and racial minorities. The Social Capital sub-index includes the percentage of citizens who volunteer, give to charity, help strangers, and who feel they can rely on family and friends.

Oxford Analytica assisted in the early development of the Prosperity Index and has contributed to shaping the methodology. Today, the annual Index is produced and published by the Legatum Institute.

The Legatum Institute operates a transparent approach to its work on the Prosperity Index. To that end, the entire methodology of the Prosperity Index along with the data used to create it is available for free online. Detailed information about the Legatum Prosperity Index, the rankings and methodology are available at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legatum_Prosperity_Index

In other words the combi of data sets and rigorous analysis makes the index difficult if not impossible to fake. Regionally and on the whole you're wayyyyyyy behind us-WHY?? Lets look at another expert.

All this are excuses to cover mediocrity and failure..... failure to plan is planning to fail, period!!!
The Nigerian system will take 100 years to reform since it seems Nigerians are readily available with excuses rather than solutions. Kenya had the Al-shabaab menace in terms terrorism and it really affected the Kenyan tourism sector and economic sense of it. We as Kenyans didn't start excusing the problem but faced it head on. Nigeria can not live on blaming the past and Onyimbo for even your future problems. Its either Nigerians accept that it has failed so that it can re-start its development agenda minus the excuses.

The last time i recall seeing queues at pumping stations anywhere in Kenya was in the late 80s. Get your basic chain values working mister, we wont understand all that gibberish. All i want is to take 2 mins fuelling my automobile, not long stories. Kapish?

In May,a Johns Hopkins prof. Steve Hanke published a stark warning on your REAL inflation rates.



Official CBN figures were so off,the nigga even had to invent a totally new economic theory to explain Naij!

This large discrepancy between the most recent official annual inflation rate of 12.77 percent and my implied inflation rate of 58.6 percent calls again for the use of a lie coefficient. The formula for utilizing this lie coefficient is as follows: (official data) × (lie coefficient) = real estimate. At present, the Central Bank of Nigeria’s lie coefficient is 4.6.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-h-hanke/nigerias-growing-economic_b_10098926.html

That was May,mind you. Thanks to an addiction to lies,myth,juju and outright BS no action was taken,as the CBN continued to live in cloud cuckoo land. Now the naira is in the same situation as the Venezuelan bolivar,Syrian and Egyptian currencies!



Not even all Dangote's money can pull you out of this pit latrine. An addiction to easy oil money and importation of everything has put too much pressure on the naira. While you laugh at our milk biz you spend over 6 bn $ importing milk powder and basic commodities!

Btw,prof. Hanke has advised presidents and prime ministers on monetary policy.

teve H. Hanke is a professor of applied economics and co-director of the Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. He is a senior fellow and director of the Troubled Currencies Project at the Cato Institute, a senior adviser at the Renmin University of China’s International Monetary Research Institute in Beijing, a special counselor to the Center for Financial Stability in New York, and a contributing editor at Globe Asia Magazine and at Central Banking in London. Hanke is also a member of the Charter Council of the Society of Economic Measurement and of Euromoney Country Risk’s Experts Panel.

In the past, Hanke taught economics at the Colorado School of Mines and the University of California, Berkeley. He served as a member of the Governor’s Council of Economic Advisers in Maryland in 1976-77, as a senior economist on President Reagan’s Council of Economic Advisers in 1981-82, and as a senior adviser to the Joint Economic Committee of the U.S. Congress in 1984-88. Hanke served as a State Counselor to both the Republic of Lithuania in 1994-96 and the Republic of Montenegro in 1999-2003. He was also an adviser to the presidents of Bulgaria in 1997-2002, Venezuela in 1995-96, and Indonesia in 1998. He played an important role in establishing new currency regimes in Argentina, Estonia, Bulgaria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ecuador, Lithuania, and Montenegro. Hanke has also held senior appointments in the governments of many other countries, including Albania, Kazakhstan, the United Arab Emirates, and Yugoslavia.

Common mehn,you must understand that terrorism,is not a conventional warfare that involves direct confrontation and combats,it is asymmetrical in nature,and multidimensinal,faceless and guerilla tactics accentuated by suprise attack strategies,hence like bokoharam like alshabab,it is not a nigerian,or somali thing,it is transborder,trans national,international,inter regional and so on,


You dont easily defeat terrorism,you can only contain it,containment takes atleast5-10years

Overnight? Nope buddy - this is not an overnight thing. You got independence before Kenya and have had all the time. You have more resources to provide constant electricity than Kenya (More rivers including the third longest river in Africa, Large deposits of crude oil that has been under production since the sixties, large human resource, longer coastline) yet Kenya has a constant electricity supply and you don't.

Hollywood, Nollywood collaboration good for entertainment sector – Guild
POSTED BY FUNSHO AKINWALE ON OCTOBER 2, 2015 IN ENTERTAINMENT, MOVIES | LEAVE A RESPONSE
“The recognition Nollywood stars and films are now receiving globally is commendable because the quality of our films has international standards

Agility Onwura
The growing collaboration between Nollywood and Hollywood in film making has been described as a healthy development for the evolving entertainment industry in Nigeria.
The President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Agility Onwura, made the statement in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Friday.
Onwura said: “Before now, our popular music stars have been collaborating with singers from other parts of the world.
“Extending it to film making is very good for Nollywood.
“The recognition Nollywood stars and films are now receiving globally is commendable because the quality of our films has international standards.
“The growing Nollywood-Hollywood collaboration has made it possible for some of our movie stars to feature in films with some of America’s best artistes.
“The collaborations within the entertainment industry have given our artistes global recognition and acceptance.”
The AGN boss said international award-winning Nigerian films such as “Ije”, “Turning point”, “Half of a Yellow Sun” and “Dr Bello” were products of collaborations.
He said: “This development has made others like India’s Bollywood, which is the largest in the world, to now start seeking our collaboration.

My excitement is not limited to just having trains but to the simple fact that the train services will make economic sense to businesses and businessmen like me who import cargo from China through the port of Mombasa. Transportation through the Mombasa highway takes 72hrs for me to get my cargo, but with the new trains it will take only 8hrs. For me to reach Mombasa it will take only 4 hrs in comparison to 24hrs that I normally use by road.

Thats nice,you must also understand that it is not exclusive to your country nigeria is developing lagos-calabar intercity coastal rail line,lagos-kano light rail,lagos to ibadan etc,abuja to kaduna is completed already,lagos blue line light rail is nearing completion,while kano light will begin next year,its construction,the portharcourt mono,1st phase is done,but the new governor had refused its continuity n expansion,so you must understand nigeria is not folding her arms,we are upto something too.

My excitement is not limited to just having trains but to the simple fact that the train services will make economic sense to businesses and businessmen like me who import cargo from China through the port of Mombasa. Transportation through the Mombasa highway takes 72hrs for me to get my cargo, but with the new trains it will take only 8hrs.

And the old railway and trains will still be there. Vintages. Hope they make them luxury vintage trains

This must be the worst comment of the closing year....hehehehehehe
Hollywood and Nollywood are like water and oil or Nigeria and electricity, they can never mix to form anything consumable.
The difference from Americas hollywood, Indias bollywood, Chinas "Wandahood" and Nigerias Nollywood is the quality and script of content provision that is produced. The poorest production in the group is obviously Nigerian nollywood that is famoulsly known for its poor picture quality, lack of sound effects, epileptic scripting, confused directing, broken story lines, dysfunctional editing and use of indispensable language that does not reflect the diversity in the intended consumers. The fact that subtitles are written in broken English and use of either pidgin english and a mishmash of several dialects that dont augur well with majority movie lovers.

Keep on hating. We have taken over Africa. We are going to the world level already.

Lagos to Abuja is almost 800km and we still use less than 12 hours by road.

He just proved that Kenyans don't have good roads. Mombasa to Nairobi is just 400+km and you use 24hrs on that short journey. No wonder Kenyans are celebrating 8 lane roads.

Thank God for UN Habitat and African development bank.

The growing collaboration between Nollywood and Hollywood in film making has been described as a healthy development for the evolving entertainment industry in Nigeria.
The President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Agility Onwura, made the statement in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Friday.
Onwura said: “Before now, our popular music stars have been collaborating with singers from other parts of the world.
“Extending it to film making is very good for Nollywood.
“The recognition Nollywood stars and films are now receiving globally is commendable because the quality of our films has international standards.
“The growing Nollywood-Hollywood collaboration has made it possible for some of our movie stars to feature in films with some of America’s best artistes.
“The collaborations within the entertainment industry have given our artistes global recognition and acceptance.”
The AGN boss said international award-winning Nigerian films such as “Ije”, “Turning point”, “Half of a Yellow Sun” and “Dr Bello” were products of collaborations.
He said: “This development has made others like India’s Bollywood, which is the largest in the world, to now start seeking our collaboration.

@Jayceon, Nigeria don go far.

You've missed out some films.

Do some research on Stephenie Okereke and others.

"Having trained at the New York Film Academy Film School, the talented actress cut her teeth as a director, scriptwriter and producer last year with the movie Through the Glass. The movie, shot in the US, featured a Nigerian and American cast."
