Hard Times For Importers

Its no longer  news that Nigeria is under recession. All thanks to our government policies in curbing the excesses that importation has brought down on us. We are longer as creative as we once where(at least in the manufacturing sector). While we remain docile expecting others to produce machinery needed to gear production, other manufacturers are sourcing these content locally. We all know the Nigerian market cannot carter for 20% of manufacturers need in production and therefore sourcing other means is the only option in other to break even. Right now businesses dependent on importation are not finding it easy to run their operation because of forex "wahala" and the disbandment of certain goods from importation. While there is serious and stringent measure to manage our reserve, we cannot deny the laudable  truth, that we are not just there yet, when it comes to manufacturing machines that are needed for production. Importation of this machines cannot be over-empha

Picking Our Leaders

As citizens of this great country (Nigeria), growing up with the spate of inconsistent policies and abandoning of projects have always been the bane, mitigating our national development. Nigeria as we see it has an avalanche of politicians who as most of us can see, will always follow the thread put up by their predecessors. From corruption, to white elephant projects, to abandoned projects etc. We don't fall short in any of these categories. But let's look at other categories like; power, GDP, PPP. We can see that, not only are we at the bottom in the leagues of nations, we tend to over-blow our modest achievement and say we are the giant of Africa.

James Ibori Quagmire

After the release of former governor of delta state James Ibori, there was a beehive in delta state celebrating his return to the mainstream society and a lot of controversies have being adduced. Before this incident, it is no longer news Nigerians have a dearth of character. It is no surprise Donald Trump during his campaign said a lot of things about how we treat corrupt politicians.

If We Are Not Humans; What Are We?

I was with a friend the other day in the suburb of Lagos, we got into a commercial vehicle and took off, unknowingly that the driver didn't count the number of passengers that alighted at the bus-stop and the ones that came in, so he just said in general " Owo mi da" to those who just came in. Everybody else paid except for a lady by my side, who came in together with me. When I asked for her fare, she simply told me she has paid the driver. I have being there with her all the while and I know she didn't give him a dime and didn't even make a pass at him to indicate she is familiar with the driver. and that was how she rode on a free bus to her destination.

Air Pollution In Port-Harcourt

A Paradox Of Value

A nation that will always get out of doldrums will always invest massively in human capacity and education of the young ones.Education has always being the key to success ,that’s what our parents told us decades ago,but as it stands today, parents are having a rethink on this key of a success thing of education ! This has been indicated over the way government and corporate organization treat education with disdain and levity. Nigeria needs to fund the education sector to provide human capital to develop other sectors of the economy. How can Nigeria become one of the best 20 economies in the world by 2020 Buhari’s administration has shown a disdain for education . 2016 budget earmarked a paltry amount for this crucial sector.From N306.3bn in 2011, to N400.15bn in 2012, to N426.53bn in 2013, to N493bn in 2014, to 492bn in 2015, to N369bn in 2016, Nigeria’s most important sector remains underfunded. While this budget is for the federal level alone, it is still less t
