Why I will always choose #glider - In 1983, an Air Canada Boeing 767 ran out of fuel at 41,000 feet because fuel was calculated in pounds instead of kilograms; the pilots glided it onto a disused air base runway in Gimli, and all 69 on board survived https://t.co/yvg2A2IRX0
Don’t quit because your progress doesn’t look exciting yet.
A lot of winning looks ordinary while it’s happening.
Saving $50.
Walking another mile.
Reading another chapter.
Making another call.
Keeping another promise to yourself.
“We make all the carcasses of all our vehicles here, but we import some engines and electrical and body parts, but we produce all the plastic parts here." Chief Innocent Chukwuma, Chairman, Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company (IVM)
This is the model
1. Find a product that China exports to Nigeria
2. Go to China, look at their machines and their processes, copy them, give a rival Chinese company the contract to build the same machine for you, and import the machine back to Nigeria
3. Now import the CKD of that Chinese finished import, but make some parts locally; that will reduce the cost. Your products become cheaper than a Chinese Yuan-priced import.
4. Yes, you will struggle with ease-of-doing-business issues like power and high cost of credit. Yes, BUT the monthly minimum wage is roughly $240 to $395 USD in China, compared to about $42 to $45 USD in Nigeria. The more value you add locally in Nigeria, the lower your cost compared to China
That's how you fight China: Europeans and American cant do this because they have higher wage costs, but Africans have a huge cost advantage we are not exploiting.
Manitoba, you’ve changed your clocks for the last time. We are just going to stay on summer time a.k.a. Central Daylight Time, a.k.a. The time it is right now.
What does this mean for Manitobans?
No more changing clocks twice a year.
More evening daylight in summer time.
More light for your drive home from work in the winter.
Less disruptions to sleep and routines.
No more springing forward or falling back.
So this November 1st, the times they will NOT be a changin’.
