Steal This Idea Part 2

What do people really do in an elevator??.......Think about it…………………..Nothing. Or is there? No, no, not quickies while the elevator is stalled. All we do is keep silent especially if we are with people we do not know. We try not to stare, and we look towards the door or stare at the mirror. Again I thought…. why are there mirrors in elevators? It’s simple. It’s a form of engagement just so you don’t feel alone. I work in a place where I use the elevator every day and these thoughts come to mind daily but what do I do instead??...Keep reading.

Imagine a Tower with 75 Floors

The Chinese Invasion

If you check around your house today, almost everything was made in China. Yes, from your tooth brush to your shoes. It’s even surprising that some of the items we ordered from the US were made in China. Oh yea, my iPhone too. At the back of iPhones, you’d see it written “Designed by Apple in California Assembled in China” – in other words, Made in China. I once thought that- How would Chinese feel going all the way to shop in America and ended up buying made in China products? Lol. Funny right?

China is ranked the second largest economy in the world next to US with industrialization that has quadrupled that of Asian Tigers. China is the Big Dragon. Total China’s investment trade in Africa account for 35% of China’s total revenue on International trade. Nigeria – China trade relationships is worth $13 Billion in 2013 alone. Bilateral trade volume between China and Nigeria represents 30% of China’s total trade transaction in West Africa.

Swallowed by the Dragon

No country can harm another economically without that country’s consent. In other words, a country can adopt its own trading and currency policies and need not to be influenced or harmed by the actions of any other country. In my opinion, Nigeria has consented to being swallowed by the big dragon many times.
