The last few weeks have seen one man held countries fall into 'people' reigned. From Tunis to Cairo, it was same news, maybe 'good news'. However, Libya may prove a different story because here, one man is great man, one nation is in anarchy because the media wants us to believe alot. Let us hope that the abolition of the Libyian 'anarchy' will not inflict the people with a catastrophe of the dimensions of which none of us imagined. The time to act is now!

My good mother once remarked about me. 'Boy, you need confidence' and because confidence ends our crisises together we must stand up and get confident to address our issues. It works.

Government all over the world ard doing their best to enable the people believe with various policies that look promising. However, we need assurances in these places to deal with unemployment, high deficits, lower output and poverty in all its forms.

On the first of October 2010, Nigeria turned 50 years. My man Chris asked me what i needed. I told him i need Nigeria to 'innovate' because from the words of Angel Gurria of the OECD, 'a fundamental driver demanding a big push is innovation. We need innovations to achieve our goals!

At the MTN centre just to register my sim pack. It's not easy what impact the registeration would do for Nigeria. Maybe another avenue for police harassment is being created for the innocent citizens? Who knows, maybe we might eradicate crime with the process. I try to be positive but who knows?

With a captivating theme: 'Strengthening Regional Economic Intregration For Africa's Development' the Report focuses on ways of strengthening regional economic integration for Africa´s development. It complements existing institutional analyses of regional integration in Africa with an economic analysis of trade in goods and services, migration and investment, and surveys recent trends in these flows and assesses the potential for increasing them in ways that will support economic development. The report finds that - when designed and implemented within a broader development strategy regional integration could help improve competitiveness and serve as a launching pad for African economies´ effective participation in the global economy.

The global recession is unprecedented in its depth and breadth, and has left no country unscathed, according a new report by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) launched today, predicting a gloomy economic future.

The UNCTAD report blames excessive risk-taking made possible by financial deregulation and innovation in obscure financial instruments for the economic turmoil inflicted across the world over the past year.

The crisis that initially began in the financial sector now has turned into a dramatic downturn in the wider economy with global gross domestic product (GDP) expected to fall by more than 2.5 per cent this year, according to the 2009 Trade and Development Report.

GDP in the developed nations is forecast to contract by some 4 per cent this year, and output in the so-called “transition economies” is expected to fall by more than 6 per cent, while growth in developing countries is expected to slow from 5.4 per cent in 2008 to 1.3 per cent in 2009.

“The outlook is bleak,” UNCTAD’s Director of Division on Globalization and Development Strategies Heiner Flassbeck told reporters in New York.

Mr. Flassbeck cautioned that even in the most optimistic circumstances it could take up to six years for many countries to return to levels of GDP reached in 2007 before the crisis.

“On the global scale there are only two things that can promote growth,” he said. “One is consumption [and] the other is investment. There is nothing else, unfortunately.”

He noted that rising unemployment rates and depressed wages are obstacles to consumption, and new investment is hampered by idle manufacturing capacity and cuts in profits.

“We can only urge governments to go on with stimulating the economy,” said Mr. Flassbeck, stressing that all “talks about early exit strategies are premature. The world has to wait another one or even two years until the stimulus can be withdrawn and the private sector [can] go ahead on its own.”

In addition, banks still need to be recapitalized and their balance sheets cleansed of toxic assets before they can be guided back to their traditional role as providers of credit to investors in fixed capital, according to the report.

The report also spotlights elements of reform for the international financial architecture, which it says is long overdue, calling for a fundamental rethink of global financial governance to stabilize trade and financial relations by reducing the potential for gains from speculative capital flows. This will reduce the likelihood of similar crises occurring and help create a stable macro-economic environment conducive to growth and smooth structural change in poor countries.

The 2009 Human Development Report launched 5 October 2009 reports on the range of evidence about the positive impacts of migration on human development, through such avenues as increased household incomes and improved access to education and health services.

Human development is about putting people at the centre of development. It is about people realizing their potential, increasing their choices and enjoying the freedom to lead lives they value. Since 1990, annual Human Development Reports have explored challenges including poverty, gender, democracy, human rights, cultural liberty, globalization, water scarcity and climate change.

Migration, both within and beyond borders, has become an increasingly prominent theme in domestic and international debates, and is the topic of the 2009 Human Development Report (HDR09). The starting point is that the global distribution of capabilities is extraordinarily unequal, and that this is a major driver for movement of people. Migration can expand their choices —in terms of incomes, accessing services and participation, for example— but the opportunities open to people vary from those who are best endowed to those with limited skills and assets. These underlying inequalities, which can be compounded by policy distortions, is a theme of the report.

COPENHAGEN: U.N. climate talks were thrown into disarray Monday as developing countries blocked negotiations, demanding that rich countries raise their pledges for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Representatives from developing countries said they refused to participate in any working groups at the 192-nation summit until the issue was resolved.

The move was a setback for the Copenhagen talks, which were already faltering over long-running disputes between rich and poor nations over emissions cuts and financing for developing countries to deal withclimate change.

Makwanpur is facing shortage of urea fertilizer, the most essential ingredient of modern agriculture. The crisis has hit winter crops and seasonal vegetables, the main sources of livelihood of farmers in the district. The Birgunj branch office of Agricultural Materials Corporations, a state-owned body assigned to import and supply fertilizer, had shipped 95 quintals of urea some weeks ago to various VDCs and Hetauda municipality. However, farmers said the supply was far less than the demand. The district agricultural development office said it is will bring 1,500 metric tonnes of fertilizer.

To the fury of United Nations officials in Kabul, the Independent Election Commission (IEC) announced that it planned to open 155 more polling stations — up from 6,167 to 6,322 — than during the first vote on August 20, despite repeated claims by the UN that there would be a reduction.
Ever since an official inquiry uncovered almost 1m fraudulent votes cast in favour of the president, Hamid Karzai, the country’s western backers have insisted fewer centres would be opened in the run-off on November 7. But the IEC said assurances by Afghanistan’s security chiefs that conditions had improved in some areas of the country allowed for the opening of more centres. In the first round, polling stations operated in areas that were so insecure that election monitors were unable to deter wholesale ballot stuffing. Karzai’s main opponent, Abdullah Abdullah, has said he would only participate if 500 polling centres were closed and the head of the IEC was sacked.
UN staff said the IEC decision meant voting would still take place in areas where fraud was known to have been committed first time round or in areas where almost no one turned out to vote. A western diplomat closely involved in organising the vote said the news was a “punch in the stomach because everything we asked them to do they rejected”. He said it had shattered morale among election workers, already at a low ebb after six UN members of staff involved in election preparations were killed by a Taliban hit squad in an attack on a guesthouse in Kabul on Wednesday.
“This coming on top of yesterday’s incident — there really is only so much you can take for this progress,” he said. Another official said the decision was “absurd” and that “one really has to question the motives of the IEC”. Despite claims that fraud would be reduced in the second round, election observers believe a clean vote is impossible.
