There's an interview with our flag's designer on Monday's edition of the BBC Africa Today podcast

There's nothing wrong with a flag being simple by the way.

Culture / Re: What Has Been Your Experience With Juju? by 27(m): 12:51pm On Sep 27, 2010
Pretty much every juju story I've come across has been from a third party.
The person telling the story was not directly involved.
It's usually a case of "Someone I know, ".

And people exaggerate.

Why don't the people who are directly involved have anything to say?
Why can't this same juju be used to generate constant electricity?
Why can't it magically improve our economy?
Why can't it change our exchange rates?
Why can't we fix pot holes on the roads with juju?
Why can't we use juju to progress to the second round of the World Cup on African soil?

What do you think?

Does this indicate that it is a pidgin phenomenon rather than originating from any one native language?

Did we have appropriate security and law enforcement capabilities before deploying ATMs around the nation?

That, for me, is the real question.

ATM robberies could, should and probably were expected.

ndu_chucks:

For one thing, we know that the US sent emmissaries to Minna, when high level officials visited Nigeria. That to me is a show of some sort of support. It has also been reported that the US and UK are conducting surveys on behalf of IBB.


Where has this been reported?
Can you provide links?

I was in Nigeria in December.

Shops in Computer Village were selling the Sony Ericsson K800 (3.2 Megapixel camera) for the equivalent of £130.
In the UK, you can pick it up for £90 at the most.

I was quite surprised at the price difference.

Hello,
I'm new to this forum.

I'm having trouble finding the "quote" button at the end of posts. On other fora, I use this to reply to a specific post.

Is there a way for me to change the colour scheme of the pages for my profile? The grey is vey dull.

We need more malls in all of Nigeria, including Lagos.

Actis exits investments in Nigeria, Egypt
13/12/2007. Source: AltAssets.

Emerging markets private equity investor Actis has announced two exits. The firm has completed the sale of shopping centre The Palms Mall in Lagos, Nigeria. It has also sold its stake in El-Rashidi El-Mizan Confectionary Company (REM) in Egypt as part of a successful sale of 100 per cent of REM.
REM produces halawa and tahina, two staple food products made from sesame seeds. The acquisition of REM in 2002 from its owner, Unilever, by management and Actis was the first MBO ever undertaken in Egypt.

Actis investment manager Sherif Elkholy commented, 'It has been a very exciting five-year partnership with the El-Rashidi family and management, working together to transform REM into an industry role model within the FMCG sector. We are delighted to have secured Citadel as a strategic partner for the business going forward and believe this deal will help reinforce REM's leading position in the market.'

In the second transaction, Actis has sold its majority stake in The Palms to Nigerian property developer Tayo Amusan. The Palms was developed in joint venture between Actis and Mr Amusan at a cost of over $40m and opened in late 2005.

Simon Harford, head of Actis for West Africa, said, 'Actis continues to be very positive about investing in Nigeria, a market in which we have been active for decades. Actis admires the progress being made in government reforms and private sector growth, and accordingly we intend to increase both our team presence in Nigeria and our investment rate. We now have West Africa investments exceeding $500m across multiple businesses and countries, and we look forward to further high quality investments in Nigeria across different sectors. The successful Palms investment, development and realisation demonstrates the value of the private equity model to Nigerian economic growth, and the value of deep partnerships between Actis and committed Nigerian entrepreneurs such as Tayo Amusan.'

Actis has $3.5bn in funds under management.

In the secondary market specifically.
I intend to begin investing as soon as I've completed my research.
I know about different investment vehicles but I'm not sure how to start.
What do I need to do? Can everything be done online?
Business / Re: UBA Bank Plc - Savings Account!. by 27(m): 1:32pm On Jan 01, 2008
GT Bank was highly recommended to me by most people over the few weeks I was in Nigeria.
Most of the young people I spoke to absolutely refuse to use any of the older banks (UBA, Union Bank, 1st Bank etc). They prefer the new generation and there is a widely held belief that Guaranty Trust Bank is the best as far as Customer Services goes.
