hehe, i heard somewhere that there are rules to be followed when staying in Ethiopia as a tourist, 'you can't flirt with Ethiopiab girls' is what it says on Ethiopian airlines magazine. Am not so sure about that but

Av seen our tourist minister complaining much about how ET women are being treated by tourists

Lol

Eritrea also have beautiful girls.

shervydman:

Nigeria's poverty line is below 33% and not 80%.....take it easy.

Who lied to you?

DonnieTheGreat:


Wawu,
Never knew Ethiopia was growing that fast. Always thought The Ivory Coast was the fastest growing Economy in Africa.

What sector is the major driver of growth in Ethiopia?

Agriculture sector was our major driver, but now the Ethiopian government is focusing on industry and also improving on the tourism sector.

Foriegn domestic investment is bringing a very big change in the country

Btw when i come am starting with you . You know what they say....charity begins at home.lol

I think i'll take it from there....
1.lagos has an extensive water transportation system,even where the bridge will be located is currently one of those system.we only want to (a)decongest the three bridges plying that route (b) the two connecting places are new settlements of lagos,it serves as another form of easy access for them not for now but for future purpose.
2.u cant travel from lagos to calabar or Onitsha by water cos they aren't connected with eachother.SIMPLE.

Question not answered.
I have actually viewed a technical report from Nigeria on the matter from the 1980s, so i know what's going down. If youve ever seen the ferries plying Britain and Netherlands/Belgium or the internal network in Germany/Netherlands, youll know what i mean by water transport as a segment of the transportation network. I expect something along the lines of evidence of ORGANISED Transportation systems. Oga , sorry, but not satisfactory answer.

Ps: 1. Consult map and you shall quickly realise your mistake on last sentence.
2. The bridges you speak of are Roads projects, not water transport projects.different.

If you know the number of Nigerians in Togo and Benin republic you will stop making such claims. Nigerians are everywhere. We have over 3 million in UK and US each,several millions in South Africa, Canada, China, Holland, Germany, Togo, Benin republic, Cameroon etc.

Shut up with your ignorance..
There are more nigerians in Ghana than any other nation in the world
Google is your friend.

Lol

It's funny that I don't differenciate Eritreans from Ethiopians. Many Ethiopians can't and viceversa. We have exact same look. Been spending five years with my 2 Eritrean friends and i knew they were Eritreans a year ago. ( Some one told me)

uzzyfire:
wat of south Africa

South already have well developed infrastructure, diverse economy, good technology and electricity but still struggling with others in terms of influence and others. What do you think would happen if other countries start have similar things? It means there influence will diminish with time.

They don't really have much to put on the table anymore but they can still enjoy their current influence while it last. The truth is, they will still be there but definitely not as influential as they use to be.

Great move a Diversified economy would not only bring about a stronger Ethiopian economy but also ensure continued growth.

btw,
Why isn't there more economic cooperation between Nigeria and Ethiopia since both nation have the largest and second largest population respectively?. Also are there many Nigerians in Ethiopia?

Actually, now that i have a doubt if am correct about this. Which is why am searching for the link

Bros, modify your post

iblawi:

Sorry i meant "population"

iblawi:
Exactly my point. I've heard of the 6000mw plant you guys are building and that you guys light rail system was the first to come up on the continent and some other fantastic news.

Although, what I like most about Ethiopia and Eritrea are their beautiful women. You guys need to you this to bring in tourist.

Are you suggesting they use their women to bring in tourists? I think that would attract a dangerous breed of tourist. like a psycho who opened a thread around here sometime ago.

I don't know, many leaders have showed up here to strengthen our relations but not your leader. I don't think he have been here for a clear visit, and so ours. .

There are many Nigerians in here, but I don't know where they're hiding

Man! We are still the best No one will stop South Africa to grow Xenophobic or no Xenophobic, We are the best, Believe me. Most nigerians are CHEST BEATERS That is why you don't believe we are the best in the continent . You can beat you chest as usual No problem. after 10000 years is then nigerians can reach SA standard, for now! keep on dreaming I wish you the best on your dreams

I stayed at Victoria island .. there's an estate along the ozumba mbadiwe road, after the law school ..

lol u stayed in Victoria island and u are here sayon rubbish abt Lagos lol I don't believe this. I think u stayed on makoko

DonnieTheGreat:


Yes bro you can recommend me a good math book. Am An Android/ AI programmer too so i won't mind some books on Modern Android programming and artificial Intelligence using "TensorFlow". You can buy them on Amazon and ship them to my address. .

Ok,
Lets analyse all you've said one by one:

firstly you said:
1. "I think if i was to believe your figures, a growth from 700 bn$ to 1 trn $ is still growth":

Yes sir there is something called inflation so a growth from $700 billion to $1 trillion over the period of 20 years cannot be technically classified as growth. Why? because if you calculate the inflation $700 billion dollars 20 years ago is roughly about $1 trillion now.

The Dollar is "supposedly" backed by "Gold"(America claims to have the largest gold reserves in the World) but America is also operating on Negative interest rates.


I would have loved to tackle your other points, but am sure that if you are as good in maths as you claim once you can calculate the inflation by yourself. you would have successfully answered most of your other questions.

Also,
No need to be abusive, using abusive word when arguing or countering an argument usually stems from low a intellectual point of view on the subject matter.

If you need help with the math let me know

You still won't accept will you? You cant provide any proof that Lagos GSP grows by 31.9%!!! That kinda growth would make the world take notice wouldn't it? And the world hasn't. Why? It isnt happening,period. and because you are peddling a falsehood. IDK, maybe i should always have a thesaurus nearby because the word liar sounds so strong, ill look for an alternative word for somebody is economical with the truth. Maybe ill label you a Truth Economist.
The burden of proof lies with YOU in proving how inflation can distort economic growth. (i.e Americas growth) You say 70cts in 1970s america is 1 $ now, ill fact check that.
It stiil doesn't detract from your outlandish claim about the "growth" of Lagos. While on this prove to me whether Olamide on the streets of Lagos eats GDP or garri.

iblawi:


Lol

I still see you guys as the same though. I just wish everything can return to normal with you guys.

I just hope to see a peaceful Ethiopia and a peaceful Eritrea. Thanks

Bro, its called sex tourism. Its very wrong but most countries engage in it. The Gambia is like the biggest culprit in Africa. I strongly believe it should be stopped because it kinda objectifies women.

btw,
what type of jobless guy would go all the way to another country just for the women?. Im sure the guys that mentioned it here was just joking. Ethiopian women are very beautiful though

arinzeejikonye:


Lol,the ministry of transport just flagged of dredging of the river niger,river benue,including inner channels,tributeries and points of terminations,like busa,ajaokuta,and the lokoja confluence in kogi


The inland dry ports and river ports too are nearing completion


Some states are also doing it independently,like lagos nore comlrehensive dredging and procurement of boats local ferries are also involved


Pls you must understand that some nigerians travel via water channels on a daily basis,


Do more research,shalom

okay. somewhat acceptable response. I warned you about the fake photo thingy. The last 2 photos are of the ongoing construction at Eko Atlantic and isnt related to my query. Since youre at the source, provide us with more details.

Gambia too? it happens mostly in poor countries so am not surprised.

Trust me, it happens. Many Europeas have that knd of habit. And alot of pedophiles with them too.

I never mentioned Xenophoia but am sure many companies are already complaining. Besides, that not the point am making. What am saying is you currently have the best of things for now and still struggling with others on influence what will happen when others have what you have in addition to what you don't have? Your influence is diminishing.

Why are Indians attacking Nigerians?
I saw the video on CCTV Africa live two weeks ago. It was very shocking. What's going on?

That ''influence'' part in the continent is base on Xenophobic , Nothing else Man SA is the best country in Africa, you must all accept that Remove Xenophobic in your mind and face reality

dude are u saying S.A is d giant of Africa becos some parts are developed . looooll if its by that wan that means Dubai is d giant of d world

Nowenuse:
According to International Telecomunication union (ITU)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_Internet_users

Nigeria has the 2nd highest percentage population of Africans connected to the Internet with 47% (86 million) of the population followed by Kenya with 46% while that useless Ghana of a country comes at 23% (even with their stable 24 hrs electricity).

You see, when people ask, how is the huge Nigerian GDP affecting the ordinary Nigerian. I just see them as plain being stupid.

Nigeria currently has the highest or among the highest middle class percentage population in SubSaharan Africa, unlike countries like Ghana where you just have the rich and the poor alone.

ITU's statistics is likely outdated or debateable because as of last year, 97 million (50% or above) Nigerians were estimated to have access to the internet and were active internet subscribers.

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/192485-nigeria-internet-users-increase-to-97-million-ncc.html

We all know that it takes at least a middle class citizen in Africa to be an active internet subscriber. This tells us the huge population, power and percentage of Nigeria's middle class citizens.

Nigeria internet users is larger than the population of the UK. What of percentages? Isnt that what counts?

Man ! You can't claim the 'Giant' with MAKOKO, Do something about Makoko and Lagos in general, I will declare you as a 'Giant of Africa' for now go and play with others

Muafrika2:

Don't forget that the president would have to come from one ethnic group, and all appointments, contracts, development.

Of court there will be team ups of two or more tribes. The rest will have nothing left when the privileged few finish allocating themselves public resources.

There will be rivalries no different than now, because being in our designated countries has created a unique identity other than our previous tribal ones.

The issues won't be as bad as they were, pls i disagree.
Use your own Kenya for example, the way Kikuyus are dominating Kenya, if it were to be a united East Africa (including Horn Africa) they would just be about 3% of the population. They will be as good as minorities. How can a minority group really dominate the affairs of a country? It would be almost impossible.

Also, such countries will operate a loosed federation system where different states will have rescource control.

What usually causes problems in multi ethnic African nations are the egos attached in being a majority group.
