"Nigeria will start exporting cars soon" - President Jonathan

President Jonathan said with the new National
Automotive Industry Policy introduced by his
administration, the country will soon be exporting
cars to other countries. He said this while
speaking with a delegation of business owners
from Anambra State led by the State governor,
Peter Obi, who paid him a courtesy visit at the
Presidential Villa, Abuja.
"If any country will be great, we must
industrialise. If Nigeria must be a great
country, we must industrialise. To this end,
we will continue to encourage industrialists
in Anambra. We are totally committed to
creating jobs. Nigeria is a country with huge
population of youths. If jobs are not created,
there will be crisis. The housing, agriculture
and power sectors are also receiving
attention. In the next few years, Nigeria will
begin to export cars to other countries. We
are encouraging government to support local
manufacturers”President Jonathan said.
The National Automotive Policy seeks to address
the issue of low-grade cars being dumped in
Nigeria as well as create mass employment and
increase human capacity in automotive
technology.

Iyanya explains why Nigerian entertainers live large

Iyanya Mbuk has revealed why Nigerian
entertainers love living fake lives, living beyond
what they can actually afford.
In a recent interview with Encomium magazine, the
kukere crooner said “Music is very expensive.
Most of them make money and it’s hard to put it
back in the same thing. Your next money is not
guaranteed because there are lots of artistes.
If you say you wouldn’t do show A, they can take
artiste B for that show. It doesn’t mean that
because you have a hit song, you would be
performing at all shows. It doesn’t work like that.
So, some of these guys, it’s hard for them. It’s
hard for them to follow up. Follow up is the hardest
thing to do. Many artistes make a hit but the
money they make from that hit is not even enough
for them to support or sponsor the next video. So
don’t blame them’.
Speaking further on the issue, he said “yes, let me
give you an instance. I had a show here in Lagos, I
was in Dubai. They made a mistake and booked
my flight for Monday and the show was on Sunday.
We rushed to the Airport; they said no that my
ticket was for the next day. After much pleading
and explaining that I had a show that night in
Lagos, they said alright, I could board but not
business class since it wasn’t my flight. I had to
fly economy class with my business class ticket.
Sitting down there, people around were staring at
me like “what are you doing here”. A woman even
walked up to me and said “Iyanya, you no suppose
dey here now, na the other side you suppose dey”.
What came to my mind next was that I can’t just
decide to fly economy today, it will become a gist. I
have to work hard, I have to make money, to live
up to your expectations. It’s not like I’ m living my
life for you, but it’s the life I chose. So, I have to
follow it.”
