Solid minerals exploration In Nigeria

There has been so much talk about diversifying the Nigerian economy since crude oil prices has fallen drastically in the international market. This development has affected the economy and brought untold hardship on the citizenry. One of the ways the present day government is looking at to diversify the economy is through solid mineral exploration. This is why the ministry of solid minerals has been on its toes, working tirelessly to come out with a solid mineral that can serve as replacement for crude oil.

Can this really work? These solid minerals are they really in abundance? Abundant enough to satisfy us as well as as the international market. Remember, crude oil is found in the Niger delta wshich is almost an entire region comprising of Eight states namely Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa-ibom, Cross river and Abia states. In these regions, crude oil is found both onshore and offshore.  Thus, it is abundant enough to cater for our energy needs as well as for exportation.

Solid minerals in the country are found in individual states. For instance, coal is found in Enugu, Tin in Jos plateau, Gold in Osun, salt in Nassarawa e.t.c. Non of these solid minerals expanse an entire region or Geo-political zone of the country. Only very few of them are really in abundance to earn foreign exchange.

Previous dispensations were aware of these solid minerals but never thought of exploring them because it would be futile effort. Let the truth be told! The only viable means of diversifying the economy is through agriculture.

Promo Ads

Google adsense should as a matter of fact encourage its publishers by displaying promo ads from time to time on websites and blogs. Promo ads that can earn publishers $50 to $100 per click instantly. At least to compensate for low paying ads that often dominates the ad network.

Publishing articles is not an easy exercise; therefore, publishers need to be motivated in order to do more. A publisher is at its best when he is fully motivated.

It is just an observation, though!

A Good Education

Of the many factors essential to a nation’s chances for development, education is one of the most important. A saying has it that “The rise or fall of a nation is the doing of its people”. In other words, the deciding factor is, in most cases the people rather than outside forces (like, say, a foreign invasion in the case of a nation’s fall).

We can go on from that to say that the quality of the people depends on whether they have a “good” education or a “bad” one.

I see education as three – pillared: Moral, Intellectual and Physical. A good education should consist of moral training. Students should be taught morality and good sense to enable them live successfully as individual humanbeings and as members of society. It should also include intellectual training not only to impart information but to develop the power of thinking. Thirdly, it should be rounded out with physical education to build healthy bodies.

A good balance of the three is important. But in compulsory education the focus should be on moral training for it is this that makes us human. Moral education, then, is human education. Through moral education, people are equipped with manners befitting human persons and members of society.

Only when intellectual and physical education are built on this “human” foundation are they able to be made full use of. They are simply a minus to society if they are used wrongly – no matter how much knowledge or physical strength a person may have.

The fear in online business

MMM Nigeria is still alive and exploring a second opportunity in Nigeria, But would people trust them whole heartedly and put in all their monies like they did before?  Would people whose accounts were frozen get their money back? 'Once beaten twice shy', they say! Many people invested millions of naira into MMM because of the confidence and trust they had in the financial scheme. It was a cool means of earning residual or passive income. But MMM Nigeria crashed after all the noise that nothing can ever happen to it.

This brings us to the issue of security of investments online. A lot of people are scared of investing online because most times, online businesses involve dealing with people you barely know and have their contacts. Therefore, the risk involved is quite high because if anything happens, there is nobody to hold responsible.  Yes, the worst risk in life is you not taking a risk. Taking risk can sometimes materialize into immense fortunes and on the other hand it can also boomerang resulting in acute financial disaster. Many have built their business empire around online investments while some are still licking their wounds for badly investing online which made them bankrupt.

Never you be afraid to venture into online investments but know when to draw the line and don’t be greedy about it.

Importation of substandard commodities

In Nigeria, people prefer to patronize second hand products not only because they are cost effective, but because they are more durable than the new products in the market. The new ones are characterized by low quality; substandard and most times counterfeit while second hands are usually from original manufacturers and thus last longer.

This seems to be a Nigerian problem because in other countries it isn’t so. In other countries, new is new and the second hands are incomparable to new ones. This means that something is fundamentally wrong with our importation system in this country. There is no active watch dog as regards importation. So therefore, importers capitalize on this flock the market with substandard products just to make huge profit; turning the country to a dumping ground for all ground for all matters of product.

Consumers are at the receiving end as they have no choice but to patronize what is available in the market which can sometimes be detrimental to their safety and injurious to their health. This menace has become so bad to the extent that marketers even proclaim the counterfeit products as genuine, hence deceiving unsuspecting buyers.

Why on earth would a brand new generator last for just one year? Why would a new phone have poor audio reception? Or why would a new cloth fade out on first wash? Is it not better if patronize made in Nigeria of these products? At least that would help to develop our economy and create jobs for our teaming unemployed youths. Recently, I over head the vice president saying we don’t have any business with China if we can develop Aba. I think that would be a good initiative after all when given a chance to materialize. Really we don’t have any business with China if we can produce generators that would equally last for one year as those imported from china.

This I think is a totful thoughtful!!

Nokia not comfortable with losing the number one seat

For many years, Nokia remained the unrivaled king of the Smartphone mobile industry as it rolled out phones that suit consumers needs. Well known for its ruggedness and battery strength, this made Nokia a brand to recon with any day, any time.

However, as time went by, the smartphone manufacturers market became a very competitive one. Rivalry smartphone manufacturing companies like Apple, RIM(Blackberry), Android, Samsung, Lenovo, Tecno, Gionee, HTC, Infinix continued to invest tireless effort into their products in order to give Nokia a run for its money.
Today, Nokia no longer lays claim to the number one spot in the global smartphone market, having been displaced by Apple Incorporated as the worldwide number one single manufacturer of smartphones by revenue, profit and volume.
Nokia has never been comfortable with losing the number one seat in smartphone manufacturing, therefore, in a bid to reclaim its position back, it is partnering with Microsoft to role out smartphones that work on windows operating system, hence the name windows phones. It already has Lumia 800 and 710 running on the latest 7.5 version of the Microsoft OS available in the market.
Whether this synergy between Nokia and Microsoft would help Nokia regain its lost glory as the number one smartphone manufacturing company in the world. Only time would tell!
