CONTRIBUTIONS OF DANGOTE GROUP TO NIGERIAN ECONOMY

CONTRIBUTIONS OF DANGOTE GROUP TO NIGERIAN ECONOMY                          By:              Nurudeen Dauda        31st October, 2021 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com Please let us talk about Economics not "emotions" or "conjecture". It is important to note that, the private sector is the driver of modern economy from USA, India, Saudi Arabia, Russia to China etc. This is my little reply to a critic of Dangote group who I understand does not speak economics at all. (1) Through the effort of Dangote group and others Nigeria do not longer import cement which saves us billions of dollars. Imagine the benefits of having other businessmen that will focus on other products for import substitutions, (2) Dangote group Is the second-largest employer of labour in Nigeria after the Government. Imagine having more enprenuers like him i...

PRODUCTION NOT STRONG NAIRA

PRODUCTION NOT STRONG NAIRA                               By:                   Nurudeen Dauda                   25th October, 2023 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogstop.com To start with, some people erroneously think that the "value" of "Naira" or any other country's "currency" is kept strong against other currencies by an executive fiat. It is apt to state that, the "value" of any country's "currency" is a "function" of its "productivity" and or state of its economy and not what the country "wants" it or "desires" it to be. The free for all fall of the value of "Naira" against the "Dollars" is a question of "demand" and "supply for "Dollars". There is a shortage of "Dollars" supply in the economy which needed to be addressed as a "short term" measure, but our "long term" solut...

@BAR. AL-ZUBAIR & MAL. GORAN NAMAYE: A PERSPECTIVE ON SIR EMIR MUHAMMAD SANUSI (I) (KBE) V. SIR AHMADU BELLO (KBE)                                By:                  Nurudeen Dauda                  11th October,2026 nurudeendauda24@gmail.com  nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com  nurudeendauda.blogspot.com To begin with, the late Sir Ahmadu Bello Sardaunan Sokoto; KBE and the late Sir (Khaliha) Muhammad Sanusi (I); KBE of blessed memories were the best of friends and of course In-laws who felt apart. Sir Ahmadu Bello Sardaunan Sokoto is from the royal Fulani house of the Torankawa clan of the Sokoto Caliphate while Sir (Khaliha) Muhammad Sanusi (I) is from the royal Fulani house of the Sullubawa clan of the Kano Emirate.

ON KADUNA STATE $350M FOREIGN LOAN REQUEST

ON KADUNA STATE $350M FOREIGN LOAN REQUEST                                   By:                Nurudeen Dauda              October 24, 2017 nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com In my advise, the foreign loan request presented by Kaduna state government should and or must be either approved or rejected on its "merit" not "politics". In my view, I completely agree that , due process should and or must be strictly followed. Debt in itself is not necessary "bad", but what you spend the money on makes it " bad" or "good". If you borrow to sustain an ostentatious government life style or its over bloated bureaucracy is a "bad" economics, but if you borrow for infrastructure is a sound economics. The United States of America is the most indebted country in the world yet the number one economy in the world. Lagos state is...

THE POLITICS OF ACCENT

THE POLITICS OF ACCENT                                        By:                            Nurudeen Dauda                            October 22, 2022 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com "The accents of our presidential candidates are terrible. Peter Obi has the worst of them all. If it was based on accent, I will vote Al-mustapha, but it goes beyond that"---Muhammad Kabina I quite agree with you that it is beyond just ones "accent". Luckily for us the four major contenders in the presidential election of 2023 as opined by some analysts have held public offices in this fourth republic. Let our judgements for who to vote as electorates be guided by the track-records of these candidates based on the offices th...

AN OPEN LETTER TO BULAMA BUKARTI

AN OPEN LETTER TO BULAMA BUKARTI                             By                Nurudeen Dauda                 20th February, 2026 nurudeendauda24@gmail.com  nurudendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com Dear Barr.(Dr) Bukarti, To begin with, I hope this letter gets to you in good health through the power of social media. Permit me to "comment" you on your many previous good works in terms of advocating for Justice, Good governance and Security in our dear country. We need strong voices like yours, but with moderation, neutrality , balance, unbiased and fair. Politics is a very complex game. It is a game of all possibilities. Yours requires neutrality always. It is apt to state that, Analysis should be on "issues" not on "personality". Legal analysis should be based on "facts/evidence" not on "personality" and Public Affairs...

DIRECT PRIMARY: MY THOUGHT

DIRECT PRIMARY: MY THOUGHT                                 By:                 Nurudeen Dauda                 18th October, 2021 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com To start with, ideally political power is an ave CC  nue for bettering the lots of your people, but unfortunately in Nigeria it has largely become a business where you can invest and make a supernormal profit. Unless and until we largely change the situation to that of a service delivery we will hardly get out of the woods. The delegate system or indirect primaries have since become cash and carry. Our delegates for primary elections know that most of the candidates contesting for one office or the other are political investors who upon their victory will recoup their investments first and thereafter quintuple their retu...
