Unity is the remedy to cure the cataclyism during the campaign.  After the elections, the people must go hand in hand for economic progress.

In 2004 it was 21% and the same figure for 2005. These may further be verified from any commercial bank. GDP figures are best obtained from the "World Development Reports" (WDR) published by the World Bank. Just search in GOOGLE for that phrase and you'll have it. Meanwhile, Nigeria's GDP per capita and GDP for 2003 were 58.4 and 428m USD respectively with an annual growth rate of -0.5 from 1975 to 2003. Hope you find that useful.

Politics. people with power want more than money, they want land and when you have two greedy rich people, they will do what it takes to own that land even if it means WAR!!!

Politics is a philosophy, even though it is categorized as a science, and currently economics is viewed as a science that is based on a mechanical worldview . However because of current and future problems that will arise with economics as a ridged science (as defined by Adam Smith in the 1700's) it is probable that economics will return to a philosophy of purpose and principle, i.e. consumer sovereignty is the cornerstone of competitive capitalism. Where as advertisement does not info the consumer but spews propaganda.

Major political parties are businesses and deal with business issues.  You could work on staff with a political party.  Mayors of large cities are in charge of a large business operation and also deal with local and state businesses.  You could take a professional position in a city government, learn the "political ropes" and even run for mayor.  US Representatives and Senators come from a variety of backgrounds and deal constantly with business and ecoonomic issues.  I believe US Consulates deal with business issues involving US-foreign trade.  Good luck.

seeing as how the Nigerian government is one of the most corrupt in Africa, I am not sure how anyone could believe they either manage or administrate anything let alone taxes. There is not even the simple rule of law in that horrible place. What bothers me is they have a vote in the UN like everyone else.

NO! History has proven time and again across Africa that Presidents who stay in office too long become tyrants. Obasanjo may be an excellent leader and a popular President, but if he stays in office too long he will make democracy impossible in Nigeria.

I am a Nigerian.  Well I quite agree with all others have said so far, but I will like to look at the cause of political instability from the political angle.\n\nPolitical instability has become a common thing in Africa.  And I think one of the top-ranked reasons for instability in our political circle is the incursion of Military in Politics.   Though with the new songs about democracy in all parts of Africa, the heavy hand of the military is still very much felt.  Political Instability is associated with the military regime.  But the question is why are we still experiencing same even in democratic settings.\n\nI however submit by saying unless the faces of the former military leaders, officers are erased from our political setting no much can be achieved in stabilising our political life.

Biggest challenges are mainly to do with environmental concerns politics and legislation, labour requires more money as people are becoming more and more skilled, large businesses are undercutting smaller ones by outsourcing key business processes to 3rd world countries or countries with cheaper labour costs, (indina china), in Africa its governments that are affect businesses, a change in government in africa does not gurantee current standards will remain the same african governments have been known to bury businesses that have existed for 20+years withing a single day, they create a very much volatile environment to do business in and fail to maintain policy from one government to the next one governement will have completely different ideas as to the other, businesses in africa face skilled labour shortage because of the HIV virus, and brain drain most africans migrating to first world nations. In asia Government policies is major concern , in middle east more or less terrorism creating a volatile environment for business in Europe and USA more to do with legislation volitlity of economy is understandable, a last factor is cost of fuel impacts severly on every resource.

Yes.  Interest rates, taxes (on gasoline or foreign goods, for example), tax cuts, treasury buybacks, central bank dealings in foreign currency and gold, etc.  The politicians have a lot of tools.  Better to get a book on macroeconomics and read to your heart's content.

No. Politics are as necessary as the government they facilitate. \nUnderstand; as an American, I know only american politics intimately enough to answer...\nPolitics are ruined by the liars and creeps trying their hardest to get into office and betray your trust.

That's the biggest problem with politics in all of Africa ,\nthe great majority of so called leaders are all former criminals and they reward their cronies with positions in government.The very few decent, honest and duly elected leaders have a up hill battle to do the right thing for the people. AFRICA AS A WHOLE IS A BASKET CASE AND THE PLUG NEEDS TO BE PULLED NOW .
