Can South Africa Help Nigeria to Industrialise?

I came across this article today, and this phrase caught my attention.

 “The real question is whether such cooperation could ultimately evolve into meaningful, broader, economic integration rather than the network of mostly hollow shells that currently masquerade as free trade agreements,”

RECOVERY OF PREMISES: AN ASSESSMENT OF LANDLORD/TENANT LAW IN NIGERIA - Ijeoma Okoronkwo

Every day with the increase in population, there is a concurrent need for houses to accommodate this rising population. As a result, there has always been the need for individuals, corporations and governments to build and lease or rent houses to fill this void. These houses could either be for residential or commercial purposes. This has brought the need to regulate the relationship between landlords and tenants so as to avoid arbitrary increments in rents, wrongful eviction and illegal holding over of premises. The procedure for recovery of premises is largely regulated by statutes. Accordingly, a landlord who seeks to recover his premises from a tenant must strictly comply with the provisions of these statutes. In other words, the slightest deviation from the requirements of the law will frustrate an attempt to recover possession of premises no matter how troublesome and terrible such a tenant may be.

Every State in Nigeria now has its own law on recovery of premises. Some of these laws include:

· Recovery of Premises Act. Cap 544 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (Abuja) 1990

· Rent Control & Recovery of Residential Premises Law, Vol. 7, Laws of Lagos State, 2003

· Lagos Tenancy Law, 2011

Section 2, Recovery of Premises Act Cap 544 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (Abuja) 1990 states that a landlord is a person entitled to immediate reversion of the premises and includes the attorney or agent of any such landlord or any person receiving (whether in his own right or as an attorney or agent) any rent from any person for the occupation of any accommodation in respect of which he claims a right to receive same. This section further states that a tenant includes any person occupying premises, whether on payment of rent or otherwise, but does not include a person occupying premises under a bona fide claim to be the owner of the premises. The Rent Control and Recovery of Residential Premises Law, Vol. 7, Laws of Lagos State of Lagos State of Nigeria 2003 expressly include a sub-tenant and service tenants (homes occupied by virtue of employment) for the purpose of recovery premises.

SOLIDARITY IN AFRICA - Odumchi

As Africans we are blessed by our creator who generously endowed us with many gifts. Our continent boasts a wide range of environmental variety: ranging from the icy peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro in East Africa to the thick jungles of Central Africa, and the dry plains to the south. Our homeland is flowing with natural and mineral wealth: as evident in the diamond mines of South Africa, the gold pits of West Africa, the oil fields of North Africa, and the majestic Nile which meanders its way down through East Africa.

Our peoples have grown strong and accustomed to the rugged lifestyle which our environment demands. Thousands of years of struggling have led us to perfect our societies and cultures, enabling us to survive on the land and use it best for our needs. In associating and interacting with ourselves we have formed powerful unions and relationships with one another, advanced cultures and societies, and powerful kingdoms and empires.

THE FIRST EVER PHOTO UPLOADED ON THE INTERNET

 Every day millions of photos are uploaded to the Internet on countless blogs, Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, etc. But have you ever wondered what the very first image upload looked like? Well look no further, because the tech site Motherboard has done the digging for you.

In 1992, a picture of the parody band Les Horribles Cernettes, that was digitally altered in Photoshop, earned the distinction of becoming the first Web photo upload.So who are these ladies pictured in the image? The group of ladies were lab employees who worked for CERN, a research laboratory in Geneva where major discoveries have been made, including the project that started the World Wide Web, created by British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee.

HOW TO WRITE A CV THAT "WORKS" IN NIGERIA

According to Naira Career. Observation shows that composing a CV in Nigeria is certain thing persons put off for as long as likely and when they eventually get to it, they have the impression that so long as important components such as work experience, informative qualifications and bio-data are in location, a CV is complete.

I plead to contradict. I accept as true that your CV is an account or narration of yourself. It is YOU talking about YOU in YOUR very own phrases and in the best way likely. It starts from who you are, to all the places you have been and how you have assisted to those places; your achievements, how you expended your time, and even individual minutia like your marital status and so on. Bearing this in brain, every minutia and information supplied should be meticulously considered and articulately offered. Put your most flattering features or accomplishments up front and then move step-by-step to less flattering features.

A SOBER REFLECTION – Babajide Ikuyajolu

The lavish life of a Nigerian liability begins with a contemporary lifestyle too extravagant to contend with. An attitude embedded deep within the mind, only visible when excited perhaps tempted. The orientation that was supposed to be our guide, now dissolved by the inhospitable administration of our government. Now we dream even in daylight, hoping that one day this misconception would be reversed perhaps to a better state.

This period, I grieve, and I'm taking a moment to think before I continue to write the agony I feel for the disoriented Nigerian youth.

The Nigerian youth are left with the crumbs of corruption that fell from the tables above them, now they linger in their heart, mind, causing an epidemic that mutates their perception. Only few are able to embrace this cruelty and desire change. The effect of this action, now reflect on the attitude of our youth. Low regard for opportunities, no value for information. Our course of livelihood now depends on deception, prostitution; the urge to have money at all cost never cease to grow root in their minds. This boomerang continues to manipulate their minds, leaving them unconscious and mentally disabled. Now new generations that emanates are a year better fraud than the next.

ABUSE OF FOREIGN FRANCHISES

Culled from Nigerian Best Forum. As more franchises from abroad find their way into Nigeria giving birth to new businesses, the immediate concern before the country’s policy makers should be how to strike the right mix of foreign inputs with local content.
With very low production base and an economy that is heavily dependent on imports, Nigeria would be mortgaging its future if the government left things to play out in the manner of the vagaries of demand and supply. Over reliance on franchised businesses that are heavily skewed in favour of foreign investors is neither healthy for the growth of the local industry nor the economy for that matter.

Major urban centres are now littered with many businesses that have their roots in a franchised model and it cuts across various fields including agro-allied, hotel services, eateries, building materials, construction, banking, educational, auto sales and repairs, IT repairs and services, consulting services, real estate and so on.

Whilst it is true that franchised businesses have boosted employment opportunities in the country, it could also be argued that the local content has not been developed in terms of expertise put into these fields and importantly, the franchise rights appear mostly domiciled in the hands of foreigners instead of Nigerians which makes the issue of empowerment still an illusion.
