Nigeria, South Africa and Egypt are Africa’s largest economies. They are all regional powers, and their diplomatic strength, economic and military might varies among each other.


NIGERIA

It has an oil-export driven economy; a military ranked #41 in 2015, relatively little or no influence in international affairs, except within West African Region. Nigeria has a vast population (significantly more than Russia or Japan), but its economic growth and development has been lagging; a volatile exchange rate, coupled with the drop in oil prices threaten Nigeria’s global position, growth and developments. Also, rampant and out of control corruption exist, plus simmering tribal conflicts and insurgency war with Boko Haram.


SOUTH AFRICA

It has a diversified economy and industry, with substantial technology. Militarily, South Africa is ranked #32 (after Mexico) and does not need a stronger military, as it does not face major threats. Diplomatically, South Africa is working with the BRICS block, but dominated by the much larger economies of China. The challenges of massive inequalities, infrastructure, and poverty in the distribution of wealth remain its greatest draw back.


EGYPT

It has a very active military (ranked #18), allied with the US and in no conflicts with immediate neighbors (such as Israel, ranked #11). Egypt has a large population – a little bigger than (2015), and hence larger than and the UK. Egypt is a regional power and a power-broker. However, it is not as rich as the Gulf States monarchies. In the last few years, Egypt has experienced dangerous political instability, with massive clashes between secular and Islamic political movements. Egypt is punching above its weight internationally – it has an adamant voice in the Middle East – but weak in Africa.


WINNER

Egypt is currently more powerful militarily than Nigeria & South Africa. However, Egypt has to compete for significance with its small but more powerful neighbor Israel and Saudi Arabia. Nigeria and Egypt suffer significant internal conflicts which limit long-term economic development and international influence of each country.

Great article below written by "Abimbola Adelakun of the Punch Newspapers"


BEFORE MMM, NIGERIANS WERE ALREADY GREEDY AND VULNERABLE

Over and over again, we have been onished not to make fun of poor folks who were dupes of the now faltering Ponzi scheme, MMM. We have been ened to be emphatic, to spare those who have their money trapped in the scheme our sharpened tongues and the smug I-told-you-sos. We have been rightly reminded that Nigeria is currently experiencing recession pangs; the times are so hard it feels like the Sani Abacha years. Nigeria is in a poor shape, people are desperate and therefore vulnerable and in such a situation, they say, it is only fair to pity fellow Nigerians who invested their lifeblood in the MMM.

There is an element of truth in these but they are not entirely correct. The recession definitely has to do with the almost hysteric manner people have embraced Ponzi schemes but does not fully explain why there are at least eight of them going on in Nigeria right now and they all have patrons who ionately proselytize for each. Around 2007/08, people also fell victim to Wonder Banks and lost tons of money. What is primarily responsible for people’s involvement in pyramid schemes is greed, simple. Greed is a universal human failing; societies evolved laws to regulate greed and prevent us from having each other for lunch on the same day.

One cannot, however, talk about the popularity of Ponzi schemes without also acknowledging how our society’s belief system has encouraged magical thinking about money and the ways it can be multiplied. From urban legends recycled in Nollywood that promote ideas about money rituals, to politicians who flaunt wealth before the public even when there is scant evidence of their productivity, to the prosperity gospel regularly preached in churches, people are so vulnerable that they can be played for suckers.

I once attended a church service with a friend a while ago where the pastor asked us to “sow seeds into the kingdom” and he would prophesy that God would make us “billionaires”. We were at least 5,000 people in the church, how was it possible for all of us to be billionaires? The United States has the highest population of billionaires in the world and they have only 540 of them. How can God raise so many billionaires from a single church and in a country where we do not even produce pencils? Yet, all around me people enthused shouts of “Amen! I receive it!”

Our culture has promoted a mentality that individuals can make huge sums of money irrespective of the political and economic conditions of their country. People have been made to believe that they can extricate themselves from the destiny of their country because, well, their case is different. This sort of weightless individualism being promoted does not find a structure in our society’s organizing philosophy and therefore opens people up to dubious schemes.

When people have been taught that money can come as a miracle, do not be surprised when they believe virtually anything that turns them to pliable tools in the hands of swindlers.

Online, people see a picture of dollars, luxury cars, or some other markers of prosperity on a parody of a popular preacher. To the image is appended a prayer that those “blessings” can be theirs and their eyes water at the possibility. Then, they are instructed thus, “If you believe, type Amen” and thousands proceed to do so; poor dupes who are sincerely convinced that there is some magic to merely typing “Amen” to a prayer that offers them what they never worked for.

Our value system has plunged to the point there is an acute disconnect between dignity of labor, hard work, honesty, ethics, and what we now call success; no surprise that young people fall for Ponzi schemes. My friend, a professor in a university, told me how astounded he was to find that his students were also involved in the MMM. They in fact, tried to recruit him. Our t observation was that the MMM and other Ponzi schemes would do to the educated class what “Okada” did to the culture of apprenticeship in Nigeria – it provided a means of earning quick bucks for poor and struggling youths at the expense of building skill set. Young people who thought spending two or three years learning a trade was tedious and paid less were seduced into the futureless career of riding motorcycles for a living.

Today, Nigeria’s building contractors have had to travel as far as Benin Republic to find capable artisan workers. In some years’ time, classrooms in our tertiary institutions would have abdicated their hallow and noble responsibility to nurture the nation’s intellectual class and turned to recruiting centers for Ponzi schemes. Why not? You have lawmakers and Pentecostal pastors who use the social media to unabashedly flaunt their sports cars which they drive on cratered Nigerian roads without being hit by a sense of irony. Their audience take note and conclude that certain kinds of superlative possibilities exist; they only need to find their share.

Yes, I understand the vulnerability of unlettered people who fall into the hands of fraudsters who, for instance, ask for their ATM PINs. What I do not understand is how people who can use the Internet to educate themselves can believe that a scheme that turns over at the rate of 30 per cent monthly is legitimate. On the MMM website, you are asked to type an amount into “Happiness calculator” which links to a webpage where you see a chart of your money as it multiplies. If you type in N5,000, “Happiness calculator” shows it can go up as much as N100,000 plus in 12 months. If you are the greedy type, you will add a couple of more zeroes to your N5,000 and begin to salivate when “Happiness calculator” multiplies it beyond your expectation. If you are the Obierika character in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, the kind of person who thinks about things, you would question that kind of an unregulated enterprise that promises so much in such a short time.

In truth, we can blame the state of our country and the very constricted chances people have to access routes of prosperity they are aware exist elsewhere. For instance, Pentecostal Christians call themselves “kingdom investors” and when they put their money in dubious projects like the MMM too, they carry over the same of enterprise and declare themselves “investors.” Their choice of vocabulary suggests a longing to put their money in savings portfolios and build their financial future like is done in stable economies. But when there is a lack in the society, churches and other Ponzi schemes rise and fill the gap. They give people chances to be called “investors” and those poor folks expend all manner of irrational arguments to legitimize those schemes.

One of the many things I found ironical about the MMM is the Marxist bent of their “ideology” pasted on their website. They argue that many people will work but will never amount to anything because the financial system of the world itself runs like a Ponzi scheme. On this note, they have a point but their truth is so overstretched it snaps like a rubber band. Modern banking systems, for instance, may run like a pyramid scheme but they are regulated, they do not offer outlandish profits, and they make legitimate business investments. They are not perfect but they are far more transparent than the MMM. For all the MMM’s raves and rants against the enslaving financial systems of this world and their destruction of people at the bottom to sustain the wealth of those at the top, it does not urge them to overthrow their oppressors. Instead, it merely offers them schemes that encourage them to the party.

NIGERIANS, NIGERIANS SOME OF UNA DON CRAZE

I have a great article below written by "Abimbola Adelakun of the Punch Newspapers" and it truly analyzes the mind of MMM useful idiots and fanatic defenders you cannot see beyond their useless nose that MMM is fraud and that the scheme is like a LOCUST INVASION; at feasting fully on Nigeria's gullibility and greed; it would close shop and move to another territory.

THE TRUTH IS THAT THE SCHEME WILL NOT OPEN IN JANUARY, SO STOP THE SELF DECEPTION. IT IS GONE FOR GOOD

I am so sick and tired of arrogant Nigerians always insulting the messenger instead of analyzing the message.
THE TRUTH IS VERY VERY BITTER BUT IT HAS TO BE TOLD.
Nigeria is one of the worst places to do business.
Its takes one day to open a business in Singapore and Hong Kong. Infrastructures there are first class. Their seaports are the largest and the most efficient. Electricity is constant and their Govt protect private property.


Nigeria's case
Zero light – Generators, first country to hit Zero MW
Road network - try them during the rainy season
Private property - HMMM
Corruption, Bribes and on and on and on

For goodness sake, no wonder the country is soo wicked and backward, the truth is now a scarce commodity, lies and propaganda is the new norm.

International Graduates

As one of the world’s most international banks, one of the key differentiators of our International Graduate Programme is the opportunities we offer across our footprint of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Right from the start of our programme we host our five week International Induction Programme in Shanghai to connect our global network of International Graduates with their peers from the 30+ countries we recruit for. Our International Graduate Programme is comprised of six business streams, aligned to each of our business banking areas. Each stream is focused on a unique part of the Bank, allowing you to select a business area based on your interests. Our streamed programme is designed to help you develop specialist experience right from the start of your career.
After completing your first year as part of the International Graduate Programme you might take a role in one of our local, regional or global teams. You might choose an amazing position in your home country, or, like 50% of our Graduates, your first role with the Bank may include an international move.
Choosing the right graduate opportunity can be tough, and the truth is there are no easy answers, but there are lots of great questions. Ask as many questions as possible to get details and clues to point you in the right direction and help you figure out what type of role, business and industry is right for you.

Below is introductory information about each of our International Graduate Programme streams to get you started…
Transaction Banking
Retail Clients

It is so sadden that people are commenting in this manner. first and foremost ponder on the meaning of security.again did some of you even knows the role and responsibilities of DSS...and their job description?...stop crucifying the department......if i were the president i will wrote to TOTAL headquarters to pull that so called Elizabeth (p)froust off this country for breach of union they initially agreed and causing security unrest in the nation....it is only in naija that this nonsense is happening ....firing people any how ,reviewing contracts won by contractors years back and threaten them to call-in other contractor who are on the line should in case they reject the revised bid.what a shame and NAPIMS are here getting their kick back from TOTAL strong woman.....TOTAL can not hold us to ransom....there are laid down conditions for union to thrive and they knew it....she want to prove she is better than her predecessor by sacking Nigerians and bringing in french and cheap labours from India,Thailand. Indonesia etc.she knows that if the union leader is off from PH base she will be able to manipulate workers and sack them at will and will also stop the yearly reviews every January that woman is a crook....the french have nothing to offer naija.....only to milk us dry.....she must reinstate that man else she will locate air as her alternative route

Load of rubbish
How is Total milking Nigerians dry? last I checked the company employs thousands of Nigerians, contribute huge revenue to Nigeria in form of taxes they pay, Technology transfer to the country, training of Nigerian etc.

THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT IS GREATEST EXPLOITER OF NIGERIANS.

Beside the issue is an internal matter, what is DSS business in labour dispute.

USA, and indeed the western world, is afraid of Nigeria's potentials. Their ONLY interest now is to see Nigeria split to pieces in 2015 so that we will no longer be a threat to them.
Besides, is there any country USA entered to fight a war and left the country in one piece? Ask Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya etc. Thanks to Nigerian govt for not allowing the USA to come into the country to effect their prediction of 2015 split of Nigeria.


grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

IF Nigeria collapses, I pray its does not, Its Nigerians that will be blamed. Nigerians, NOT Americans, elects corrupted politicians;
U demand bribes, punish the innocent and sing praises to corrupt politicians, deny freedom, liberty, peace to the innocents; Kill the innocents because for the pursuit wealth, divert money meant for development to private .

WHAT DO U EXPECT THAT ALL WILL BE WELL, BULLSHIT, INTO THIS VACUUM BOKO HARAM, POVERTY, MISERY HAS ARRIVED.
