kettykings:It's not about the job done - yes we knw Nigerians can do the job, it's about who will create the job. Must private industries are created and controled by whites. Most Nigerians dream is to get employed by gov't after. And price of starting a business currently is expensive and not easy. Imagine wazobia fm - a radio station speaking our version of english, is owned by a lebanese/indian man, Amin Moussali 3 Likes |

Misterpaul: [b]My observation so far has not been one of mass exodus from our shores by foreigners. However, I would not be blind to the fact that some might already be leaving. This may be the result of our economy not being what it used to be. There was this picture painted a few years ago about the size of our economy which was overstated to say the least. If I recall sometime in 2014, we were regarded as the largest consumers of champagne (A title that I detested), trust the oyibo man he would follow the money trail. Porsche and various other luxury brands made inroads to the Nigerian market. Of course, these are all ephemeral, short-term investors looking to cream off from the high taste and gullibility of Nigerians. We are a country that produces nothing except hydrocarbons. Once that market takes a dip, so also does every other facet of our lives. We cannot begin to blame the government of the day for not being able to keep short term investors. The need for parsimony should have been considered in the time of plenty. Being frugal makes you achieve objectives in a controlled manner. The government of the day owes us the responsibility of judicious use of our commonwealth. These should be utilised in projects pertaining to infrastructural development: electricity, potable water, safe, efficient and affordable transport and of course security. These developments would make foreign investors more interested in the long haul. Not forgetting standard education. Do you know India has in its constitution the application : It shall be the duty of every citizen of India…”. In the enumeration of such duties, sub-clause (h) says: “To develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform”. Aren't we ashamed that with all our exposure to information via the Internet, we are mostly interested in whiz-kid and Davido? Abeg make others continue from where I stop. [/b] 2 Likes |

Misterpaul: Most industries are truly owned by foreigners and they tend to repatriate any profit to their home countries, costing Naija serious forex. Since d new dispensation, its getting hard to import raw materials and export forex, they are reducing investments. Let's pray d Nigerian industrialists will take up d slack. The present situation is a recipe for Made in Naija, but a lot of wealthy Nigerian investors got their wealth illegally and as such don't have d acumen to build from scratch. 1 Like |

I did a quick check on the ticket cost of Lagos to New-Delhi flight on net it averages around $1700 economy. Lagos to London is much cheaper. These OP information is definitely overblown. I have witnessed good foreign companies leaving Nigeria since late 2014. We later learned they were taking these tough decisions based on economic forecast they did on Nigeria particularly for next decade or thereabout. Many more good foreign employers have laid-off and left quietly - government agencies as FIRS, Pencom, Banks and Phcn would have noticed. Contractors and suppliers to companies would have noticed this trend also. When you have worked with oyinbo you should be alarm when they give you gloomy forecast lasting a decade. They don't just talk - they invest a lot in research and put-in so much effort to predict future happenings. 5 Likes |

Ghandi12:You did a quick Google check not a quick "reality check"..Leave google, and ask any travel agent or a ticketing officer u knw. I still maintain that BA ticket goes for as high as 800knaira..Other airlines ar relatively cheaper tho. The other part of ur post is quite interestin though. |

pendusky: People come online to claim all sorts. Tickets prices are out of the roof right now, and it's not because the airlines have made any significant change to their base fares, but because of the currency rates. Not everyone is ready to do a transit of 12 hours plus just to get to London. Meanwhile the more the few remaining investors leave, the less income the govt receives via tax (assuming they are even paying tax sef), the more people that will be thrown into the labour market. This govt will soon run the country aground. Very visionless useless bunch of people. 2 Likes 1 Share |

BuariCopyPaste: Thank you for being realistic. A lot of people in a bid to blindly support this government, find ways to play down the very things that are hurting us. The OP in his initial post specifically mentioned his brother working in BA, and said the price from Nigeria -- London is about 800k; others began talking about how it's not true, and how it's below 350k! Phew! Nigerians will always find a way to adjust to the nonsense fed them by their wicked and corrupt leaders, else how do we account for the many sycophants telling us that all is well? 1 Like |
