The economy faces its worst economic crisis in years, as the value of exports, mostly crude, plunged 52 per cent to N1.27 trillion. Much of the hard currency the nation needs to finance imports evaporated. With limited manufacturing capacity, Nigeria imports most of what it consumes. An analysis of Nigeria’s economic indicators has shown that there is cause to worry as they point to the possibility of an economic recession. Last year, the level of business confidence in Nigeria stood at 8.3 percent, while consumer confidence dropped to -3 from -1.9 recorded in the previous quarter. Also, latest statistics on the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate show that the economy grew at 9.19 percent by the end of September last year from 2.57 percent recorded in the previous quarter. The projections indicated that the value of total trade is expected to reduce in 2016, increasing by only 2.41 percent as a result of moderations in imports and exports. Allocation from...

A young man was discussing an issue with his friend who sat near him in a public transport bus. This subject of discussion drew the attention of everyone in the bus and raised a hot debate amongst passengers. The young man narrated how one of his co-workers was sacked because she had a wedding over the weekend without inviting her boss or associates. The only person she was reported to have invited was her friend who sits next to her desk in the office. The boss got wind of it and was furious. The week after the wedding, the lady was sacked. Passengers had different opinions, some felt it was unfair to have relieved the young lady of her job considering the fact that she just got married, others felt the boss’ decision was too harsh but only a few agreed with the decision. Would you have also taken same action or perhaps feel less bothered due to the fact she  had been able to show she is diligent, efficient and passionate towards realizing the goal of t...

Congratulations to the corp members who passed out of the National Youths Service Corp. For the britikos and dem other oyibos who do not know what NYSC is all about,  It is a compulsory one year service for all graduates of polytechnics and universities in the country, primarily to foster unity amongst all tribes in the country. If some had a chance, they would have gladly skipped the program and moved on to the next chapter of their life while Some are still grateful for their service year and the tremendous impact it had on them. So, having sacrificed one’s time to be involved in this program of which you had no choice, the big question that stays glued to one’s heart is “What Next after NYSC?” Remember allowee don finish and God don catch you because there will be no more endless insults during NYSC delay in paying allowee. Most people have often times tried to avoid that big question during service and it was common to see corp members swiftly admit leavi...

Someone sent this story to my mail box and I can’t help but publish it.  Kindly read the letter below: Good day, My name is Amisu Oluwafemi Tunde, brother of Amisu Oluwafunmito Abdullahi, a 2016 Jamb candidate with registration number, 65913730AD. My brother was meant to write the Jamb exam at center number C37994 with seat number 042 on Monday February 29, 2016 at original time of 01:30pm. Due to server issues, as we were told, he didn’t seat for this exam until about 7:30pm on the same day and at the same center finishing at about 20minutes past 9pm in the night. However inconvenient that was. After writing the exam, we awaited the result as we were told we would get it within 24 hours to the registered number which happened to be my dad’s. Upon checking, we got a “result pending” notification. Understandably, we continued to wait. On Friday March 4th, my dad on his way out at about 7am was checking through outstanding sms on his phone when he opened a messag...

“I, Sarah Adams take you, Lawson Kuti as my lawful wedded husband, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health, till death do us part” she smiled at him through her veil. “You may now kiss your bride Mr. Lawson” The Pastor beckoned. Lawson’s heart raced as he gently unveiled his bride’s face. She looked so beautiful. He gently bent over and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Sarah in turn embraced him tightly with tears of joy streaming down her face. “Never leave me Sarah” He whispered in her ear. “I will never leave you” she whispered and they slowly released themselves from the embrace. “I present to you the latest couple!” The Pastor exclaimed excitedly. The church cheered and Sarah cried more in her husband’s arms. 5 YEARS LATER Sarah silently tip toed behind her husband. He was in his study, engrossed in reading. She smiled to herself and gently covered his eyes with both hands. “It’s just you and I in this house Sara, plus, I ...
