Dear Nigerian, 4 years ago, this would have cost you 6 million, just 6 years ago and it would have cost you 4 million. FOR A BRAND NEW EV!!!
We don’t hate APC enough.
What I hate about economics.
You're one bad policy away from going to trenches, but you need many good policies consistently for a long period of time to reach El Dorado.
Top 9 HTTP Request Methods
GET, POST, PUT... Common HTTP “verbs” in one figure.
1. HTTP GET
This retrieves a resource from the server. It is idempotent. Multiple identical requests return the same result.
2. HTTP PUT
This updates or Creates a resource. It is idempotent. Multiple identical requests will update the same resource.
3. HTTP POST
This is used to create new resources. It is not idempotent, making two identical POST will duplicate the resource creation.
4. HTTP DELETE
This is used to delete a resource. It is idempotent. Multiple identical requests will delete the same resource.
5. HTTP PATCH
The PATCH method applies partial modifications to a resource.
6. HTTP HEAD
The HEAD method asks for a response identical to a GET request but without the response body.
7. HTTP CONNECT
The CONNECT method establishes a tunnel to the server identified by the target resource.
8. HTTP OPTIONS
This describes the communication options for the target resource.
9. HTTP TRACE
This performs a message loop-back test along the path to the target resource.
Over to you: What other HTTP verbs have you used?

This is actually insane tbh, and speaks so loudly of how badly governed we are. Teaching Hospitals are govt entities. Why is the govt implementing electricity billing that even its institutions cannot pay? Why are they so badly coordinated 😂
So this was the statement Peter Obi made to graduating Nexford students which provoked Agbado camp.
But did he lie?
Are there no more Yahoo people in government than outside?
Investment naturally flows to places where the environment is conducive, much like a bee and honey relationship.
Though I have never—and will not—compare the United States of America, with its over $28 trillion GDP, to our country, Nigeria, with a GDP of about $250 billion, less than 1% of the USA GDP, I want to simply observe, and note where investment flows and why: to places with an inevitable, favourable environment.
A typical example, the $1.1 trillion investment in-flow into the USA this month, was because of desirable environments and intangible assets.
This was achieved without the President jetting around the world to attract such investments.
I have always maintained that with the right Leadership, prioritizing intangible assets, security, rule of law and resources allocated to productive sectors appropriately, that will unleash a productive society and allow entrepreneurship to thrive.
This, in turn, will attract investments comparable to those in other developing nations with large populations, just like ours.
For example, Indonesia, with a similar population of around 265 million—just 10-15% more than Nigeria’s 230 million—has invested in critical areas like healthcare, education, and poverty alleviation. This focus has enabled them to achieve significant development and attract foreign investments.
Countries like Indonesia, with a nominal GDP of approximately $165 billion in the year 2000, now have a GDP of about $1.39 trillion in the year 2024—an increase of over 8 times.
Countries like India, with a nominal GDP of approximately $476 billion in the year 2000, now have a GDP of about $3.73 trillion in the year 2024—an increase of nearly 8 times.
Countries like Vietnam, with a nominal GDP of approximately $31 billion in the year 2000, now have a GDP of about $506 billion in the year 2024—an increase of over 16 times.
Our country Nigeria, with a nominal GDP of approximately $70 billion in the year 2000, now has a GDP of about $210 billion in the year 2024—an increase of over 3 times.
What we require at this stage is to learn from these comparable countries what they have done to achieve such growth and religiously apply those strategies.
Indonesia now attracting about 10 times the foreign direct investment than we do.
This is the kind of economic shift we should aim for by replicating the strategies of nations that have succeeded in similar circumstances.
For us in Nigeria, all hope is not as a new productive remains POssible. -PO
OMG, I want to live in this article! Spiegehalter puts in words exactly how I approach probability: it doesn't exist as an objective measure, but it's still useful to pretend it does.
In a way, it feels like Calibrated Bayes, my favorite kind of Bayesian!
