Naija Economics

3 things i learnt this week So am thinking about what to write and i thought about sharing what i learnt this week with you. 1. Pay Attention To The Principles : As is my morning ritual i visited  Frankly Speaking With Muyiwa Afolabi where he talked about 'Paying attention to the principles'. We read books, hear speakers preach at seminars.

Am not a billionaire, at least not yet but i want to invest in my favourite football club in Nigeria. But why can't i? Nigeria's Captain, John Mikel Obi Nigeria like many other African nations can be proudly tagged a football loving nation. If more than 80% of your youths discuss and follow football trends on a daily basis i think the title fits.

Naija Economics Weekly I remember the first time i came on twitter it was a disaster. I just opened my first Facebook account and i quickly got into it. Then i heard someone say something about twitter and i immediately searched for it and signed up, but after i logged in....IT WAS DARK AND WITHOUT FORM to me. I couldn't make of what was going on so i left it even without tweeting a word. What Can A Tweet Do?

Which comes first, tax or profit? Like you i think the answer is obviously profit because you can't pay taxes on losses. This article is a sequel to "The New Economy is Digital: What's that have to do with me?" you can read it here. Across the circles of the adoption of digital economy and its technologies one disruption has been in the centre of debates. The reality of the potential threats to tax systems. If i may put it frankly " more companies will not pay taxes".

The New Economy Is Digital: What Does That Have To Do With Me? “ We project in the near future a digital economy that will bring about massive deviations in society. We simply have no way of knowing how deep and far-reaching these deviations will be". – Tank L, MD Huawei Technologies Nigeria. If you have heard about digital economy and you have no idea what it means, you're not alone. In fact you may be in the majority. As a recent reader on this topic myself, i wish to expose this term 'digital economy' to as many persons as i can and discuss on what it means for our "traditional' Nigerian economy.

So i wrote briefly to introduce this topic and talk mildly on some pertinent issues. But as i began to think more on the potentials, I truly became angrier that the Nigerian government has not done enough to create an infrastructure to support the sector and private investors for not making more investments in this industry. Everybody knows that Africa is the fastest growing continent and has billionaire dollars opportunities waiting to be snatched up. But do you know that investing in Nigeria's herbal industry is one of lesser known, more valuable investments?. I didn't either until recently when i started reading on Africa's traditional medicine. The opportunity is definitely worth your interest.

People say that Nigeria's herbal medicine has been in existence before our ancestors knew the white man's medicine. But their coming you see, saw the doom of the medicine of our people, for one they didn't understand our processes and frankly we thought theirs was better too.
