Don't mind them. If thieves keep coming around will they even have customers and be able to make any money? or will the thieves not steal from both the shop owner and customer if they had the opportunity to?

Deepthoughts:
That would not be possible,you are just trying to justify osibanjo's position by warped logic,if you stay in the shop ,watch over it properly n take effective measures it can't be looted daily,all businesses face risks,the ability to overcome n neutralize the risks n remain profitably functional is the Hallmark of managerial acumen.obi was very right but you are free to go n try osibanjo's method, I'm certain you are going to get the Apc result.

chiedozie198100:


you seethat simple basic intellectual analysis you BMC guys can not handle.

Peter obi said keep the shop running, while you create measures to stop the stealing.
legitimate customers that actually grow ur business should not be shut out, as u r busyy chasing the thieves.
you can run ur business and still chase the thieves.

erico2k2:

Use the bank as case study? what measures did they put in plce? or did they close the bank?

nokatakata:


how do you keep a shop running when thieves are constantly robbing you? do you people have any common sense at all. All these your two by two shop you manage is always deceiving you. make money for thieves and keep it for them to come take. how the phuck will you even have customers when your customers know they might lose their money to thieves if they come near your shop.

if dangote and the rest close shop just to chase thieves do you think their businesses will grow every year?

Nigeria economy has grown from bad to worse under buhari and even yesterday he told the governors to prepare for more hardship,the dullard and cattle rearer have done irreparable damage to the Nigeria economy.

He has not only closed shop
He has sent away all the customers he has
He has made Nigeria the head quarter of poverty.

I blame our Educational sector !its lost it totally!

No wise man will lock shop totally cos u will end up losing at both ends!

You become Hungry and u catch no one...

Wisdom tells you to bring up new ideas that will beat the Criminals st the same time business continues!

For Example look at the Nigerian Entertainment! Despite the piration of works and all dt, did they stop movies and seek nging? No! Many of them have acquired means to limit theft of their properties!
That's how it should be!

We are in a Jet age and so there are lots of trainings and all dt that will put u ahead of the Criminals

maasoap:


You guys can turn the truth on its head, who cares. But I knew through Okonjo that Jonathan borrowed money to pay salaries of workers in the last three months of his administration.
How would you now claim that Buhari closed the shop while chasing thieves because I knew that he just plugged the leakages and started paying the workers salaries without issues?

deomelllo:



It's really baffling for real. I don't see the sense and logic in their senseless and backward argument.

Afamed:

There will be no shops eventually when the inventory is hourly looted by the thieves.

exlink10:
Obi was right on this analogy while Osinbajo was very wrong. In fact, I'm disappointed that Osinbajo said shops should be closed to chase after thief. He is too learned to say that. Though most people will not second this but check me out here:

Will a parent starve his children because they want to save and build their own house so as to stop paying house rent?

Will residents in a street not find a way to channel water away from their street (if threatened by flood) instead of waiting for the government to build their road?

If you are sitting down with your luggage at the airport and someone rushed and pick one and run off, will you not secure the remaining before you start chasing after the person.

Lastly, why didn't Nigeria Movie Industry close shop in other to chase after thiefs? (Pirates)? This is jet age guys one need to keep up with things, take good measures to manage risks and unfortunately 78 or 90 years old man in Aso Rock can't do that.

Truth is this, Peter Obi said that analogy from the standpoint of an economist and a seasoned manager. Most of you may not know that this is actually a away to manage risks. Ask those who know a little about rist management.

I will also like to disclose that am not in support of either APC or PDP. This analogy is reality.

Theif came to your house and stole, first thing you need to do is to study how they did it, put measures so that it wont happen again and then chase after them and make sure they pay dearly.

Not closing your shop and chasing after them. All other thing will become halted. That is a lame way to manage risk.

In case you don't understand anything above, let me explain in a lay man's term:

Imagine Nigeria as a giant company owned by an individual or group of individuals, are you saying the company should shut its doors because thief looted their goods or resources?

thats lame guys, because they will loose all their customers, goods and more and more resources. this is what is happening in Nigeria today.

deomelllo:




Please explain to us how the EFCC prosecuting and sending looters to jail closed Nigeria.

Is the EFCC running Nigeria or when people send petitions, so they send it to Aso Rock or the EFCC.?


You people are not making any sense with this lame and corrupt argument.

nokatakata:


when armed robbers kept disturbing most banks in ekiti state, at some point, some banks had to close for some days, even weeks before they were certain that security was in place, even with security in place, some banks were working half day.

tackle the security issue once and for all and have peace of mind to open your shop and make money. You people should stop acting as if you are the only ones who have sense and can do business. If there is no security , you wont make any money.

deomelllo:




1. The banks are Private entities, not government institutions.

2. Laws, rules and regulations are already in place to prevent prevent looting are already in place.

3. When looters violate these rules and measures, the EFCC steps in to prosecute and jail offenders.



This is public administration and law enforcement 101.

Nnemuka:
So because thieves Stole from me, instead of installing CCTV cameras in other to catch next thief I should rather close shop in pursuit of the first thief?

erico2k2:

How do you think countries of the west fight corruption?? stop all waht they are doing/? or put i n pkace preventative mesures.
but knowing Nigeria, wel, saying one thing means doing another thing!

Afamed:

Stop contradicting yourself and Obi. Obi never gave any measures to combat the thieves. That was why everyone laughed at his submission yesterday. You can't keep open your shops for looters while your inventory is stolen 24hrs , eventually there will be no shops one day

mushystuff:

Obi did not say you should allow the thieves s free run. Instead u must be savvy enough to deal with the thieves whilst keeping ur shop open n even expanding operations so you don't go hungry and dependent on others for what u ought to be able to do or provide for urself.

Nnemuka:

Is there a sense in what you typed up there?

nokatakata:


will a parent be alive to feed his kids if he is killed and looted by thieves? Una two by two shop sense no dey make una reason fine.

lonecatt:
buhari closed shop to chase thieves which is why he made Nigeria the head quarter of poverty and hunger.
Osibanjo cannot stand obi when it comes to economy and finance.his performance in anambra state have a lot to speak for him.

If it is business I will advise buhari to close shop and tend to his cattles in daura.

BrokenTV:

I can see you are having comprehension problem here is Obi full statement leading to that,


Obi said, “It is not that you cannot fight corruption but you can fight it more aggressively while addressing economic issues. For example, in 2015, unemployment was 24 percent. Today, it is 40 per cent. In 2015, we attracted $21bn in Foreign Direct Investment but we attracted only $12bn last year. Our GDP was $500bn in 2015 while per capita was $2, 500 today it is under $1, 900.

“If you look at our stock market, we have lost over N2tn in one year. So, that is not a policy. You’re just fighting corruption, you are not creating jobs. You cannot shut down your shop and be chasing criminals.”

magoo10:
the thieves cannot be there always to steal from your shop

How about employing security operatives to guide your shop, in this case employ forensic experts .

The question remains how do you close shop to run after thieves when there is a lot of money to be made in solving day to day economic problems? Obi made a valid point there and osibanjo merely replied in the most childish manner, he should have just kept quiet.

Running a business or economy is not same with studying law.
