NIGERIA DROPS TO 13TH ON THE LIST: WHAT A SHAME.

One of the most important findings of Rand Merchant Bank's (RMB) seventh edition of "Where to invest in Africa 2018" is that the continent could find itself hovering on the brink of disaster if it continues to depend on its current economic fundamentals and does not usher in economic diversification.

This will give you an insight of the best countries to invest in now for better International business success.

For the very first time, South Africa has fallen from the first place, and Egypt is now Africa's most attractive investment destination.

Morocco retained it's third position in the rankings, while
Ethiopia, due to its rapid economic growth, has displaced
Ghana to take the fourth spot.

Kenya still holds the 6th position, and
Tanzania comes in at 7th.
Rwanda, Africa's fastest-reforming economy is at No. 8.
Tunisia is at 9th, and the Ivory coast slipped to 10th position.

For the first time, Nigeria didn't make the top ten list.

Many African Entrepreneurs have also reacted and expressed their dissatisfaction towards the outrageous and disastrous drop for Nigeria on the list.

Well, I guess that's what you get when you travel through the world explicitly telling the whole world how corrupt your country is. It's not about the money generated from Oil. It's about putting the proceeds to good use for the economical boost of the country.

God help Nigeria..

DON'T SAY NO TO SOUTH-EAST LEADERS

WOULD YOU FORGIVE THEM??? Today is Sunday, the 17 th day of September, 2017 which kept me wondering what the priest would be preaching today during homily. Well, the sermon today was centered on forgiveness which I magnanimously decided to bring up today (on this forgiving faithful day). Christians say “The Lord’s prayer” on daily basis or at least every week which touches on our ways of life. We must forgive every trespasser that comes our way. Let me share briefly a story the priest used in driving his”forgiveness sermon” home. He shared a story about an evil woman who came to him in tears and agony confessing her sins on how she had rendered one of her children useless by turning the male child into an imbecile with a lot of other deformities and also killing her husband with the aid of administering poison into his food that led to his early demise. Now it has been five (5) years since her deformed son had been locked up in a store like bags of rice, beans, tubers...

WHERE ARE YOU OHANEZE NDI IGBO AND SOUTH-EASTERN GOVERNORS???

ARE OHANEZE NDI IGBO AND SOUTH-EASTERN GOVERNORS STILL IN NIGERIA??? It is disheartening that since after the Biafran war that ended in 1970, that the South-easterners have not had a genuine and transparent government and leadership (I did not say RULERSHIP which we see now in the hands of our present-day Governors). This is in exception to the late Dr. Sam Mbakwe who single-handedly transformed Abia and Imo state when both states were still one as Imo state. The late Dr. Sam Mbakwe led Imo state from 1st October, 1979 until 31st December, 1983 under the Nigerian People's Party (NPP). Mbakwe was a lawyer and political scientist who had the interest of the people at heart. Mbakwe's administration's main priority was to improve Imo state roads. WHICH HE DID. As concise and precise as this might be, enough of Dr. Sam Mbakwe's history and achievements. This is no longer 1979 neither is it 1983. This is 2017! This is not 1979 when Sean Parker with net worth of $2...

IT COULD BE YOU ON THAT SICK BED (1)

Our lives are worth more than any other thing in life. Yes! Including money, which is the root of all evil! Being surprised is an understatement! I was speechless and pitiful on Nigeria, the GIANT OF AFRICA, so to speak. Having been referred to as same by so many world leaders and countries all over the world, all I can do is shake my humble head. Well, we are in Nigeria. We know what is obtainable in Nigeria. Please, I need someone’s opinion here. How on earth would a Nigerian Federal Hospital be on strike???! Please, I am asking again! How on earth is a Government hospital on strike???! Don’t we value human lives anymore? Are we now animals? Have we now been so engulfed in hardship that we can no longer speak out in order for our leaders to right their wrongs? My heart is broken! My soul bleeds! I weep! How did we get here? Just think for a moment what will happen if the Nigerian Army embarks on a strike? What if our very own Nigerian Police e...
