Sources of News about Nigerian market

My suggestions will probably differ from many but the under-listed info sites are very useful for your proper knowledge of Nigerian market and export goods. The market world is a crazy world of information that allows you to trade to oblivion. But nothing kills a trader and a trader apprentice much faster than the tendency to recycle existing information. One must be willing to try to get deeper and expansionary in other to survive the brutal and rip throat atmosphere of trading. The following is therefore a beginner's step

There are others which merit the attention of the general public but they are hardly primary sources saving for Newspapers.

It is not clear how these information technology can help any Nigerian since much of the
content is sometimes edited, perhaps heavily edited. For instance the open source of CIA factbook/Nigeria seem to contain much better information about Nigeria than majority of these so called sources. Such inability by Nigerian intelligence community to sift through bad new country might go the distance to explain the level of intellectual weakness of the country.

Anyone looking at the very recent incident with Shell will recognize that BBC seem the only one who released this information first before Bloomberg caught up with the news and then manage to cycle it. These are not the first time this incident took place in Nigeria but how the attarckers have managed to get away from the local government and the Shell security seem to confuse the general public. Gazprom is making her business attention known in Nigerian Liquified gas, yet the rest of the world seem not to understand why in all day of days when Russians, desperately looking for useful partners in the world, were looking to reconnect to Nigeria, the Shell facilities are of a sudden damaged. Until further evidence...I beg to move on the fact that something 'fishy' and 'mimi-scious' is going here!
