NAIJA Stanford University's Nigerian Students Association

This story highlights the growing Nigerian Economy. The south (eg Lagos), is growing in to a true financial hub. CRCC, a Chinese corporation, has reached a deal to build a railway over 1400km from Lagos to Calabar; it is worth $12B USD. The project will create jobs and considerable amounts of revenue. More importantly, those of you from Lagos now have an excuse to find out about ‘those Calabar women’.

I enjoyed this story so much, I had to post it again. However, this week the story is from Forbes. This is very encouraging and makes me very proud.

I think this is a killer post, no pun intended. It provides a very, dare I say, avant-garde approach to defeating Boko Haram — fix the issues that have been plaguing the Nigerian government for years. This is a very good, short read. Enjoy.
