The Recession Is In Your Head:- By Toyin Akinosho

Comment
The ongoing “correction” in crude oil price can be an opportunity............. Whenever I listen to some of Nigeria’s charismatic economic analysts making the point that the country is caught up in the global economic meltdown, I regret not paying enough attention in Economics class at school. A lot of superbly intelligent people are referring to this period as a period of low crude oil prices and talking about how Nigeria is ensnared in the web of the credit crunch. I struggle with their conclusions. They are giving an otherwise incompetent government more ammunition for inertia. The country has an exchange to the dollar of 1: 180 (real, market prices, not fake bank indications) at a time of $60 a barrel, whereas, when crude oil was selling at $22 a barrel, we bought the dollar on the streets of Lagos for 99 naira. Note: the dollar didn’t depreciate relative to the naira when crude oil prices shot to $147. Nigeria makes far more money from oil sales in 2009 than it did in 2003 and yet everyone is despondent. People keep talking “low prices”. Even when it was $40 a barrel late last year, it wasn’t a low price! The current price regime is a higher price than the price commanded in the Gulf War of 1990-91 and is only slightly less than the price during the Arab oil embargo of 1973. (That is even when you bring it to 2008 prices, after adjusting for inflation over the course of the 36 years. For indeed, if my memory serves me, the price of oil in 1973 was about $40). What the ongoing national debate suggests is that we have come to hold the $100-$147 as “standard”. The truth is, the price of $147, which a barrel of the premium crude oil blends commanded in September 2008, is extremely bad data when you put it on the oil price curve in the last 35 years. That figure is fiction. And when we reached the price, we should have known that it wasn’t real. Indeed, we should have given a long sigh, when the price of crude started racing from $70 at the end of 2007 and went straight to $100 by April 2008. This was the period of the great mismatch between global production growth and the cost of energy. Europe and America weren’t doing fashionably well in economic terms by end of 2007 and China was already cooling. The description of the current price regime as “low price” by analysts has helped the Nigerian government, at all levels, to declare itself broke. And the big multinationals who deliver over 90% of Nigerian crude oil production have been slashing budgets, probably even in areas that weren’t touched when the price averaged $36 in 2004. Projects are being reviewed even when the prices of steel have fallen. I can understand that companies face enormous pressure from shareholders who complain of not receiving as much gratification this year as they did last year. And this may drive heads of oil companies into cutting costs her and there, but countries exist for the much longer term and need more careful planning. What has happened in Nigeria in the last 10 months of crude oil price correction from the fictional $147 to the more normal $60 has far less to do with crude oil receipts than the attitude of government. The crash of the Nigerian stock exchange, for example, was self induced; and in the last two years, there has been no clear investment policy direction. Plus: the raft of reversals of policies, including the spectacular foot dragging in power delivery, are far more responsible for our moaning than the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. There was a lament, recently, that Nigeria’s foreign reserves had dropped to $45billion. It’s a huge drop from the $64billion in August 2008, I agree, but it’s not the tragedy that the manner of announcement portrayed. Egypt’s foreign exchange reserves also dipped to $29.8Billion, down from $32.2Billion at the end of 2008. South Africa’s gold and foreign exchange reserves dropped in April 2009, to $34.047billion. These African countries, the only ones on the continent with larger economic sizes than Nigeria, don’t have as much foreign reserves as we have. But they have significant manufacturing and more diversified export, so as cash is going out to pay for imported goods, cash is coming in from export of goods and services. They don’t need to be counting wads of dollar notes, in some bank in Europe, as security. What’s important is investment and production. A country in desperate need of infrastructure uses money it has in the bank to leverage with partners on projects that turn the economy around. A businessman with a billion dollars should have the confidence to build a 10billion dollar factory because he can attract investors with comparable size of fortune. It’s not so much about spending the entire billion dollars as about devising a sound project development plan that ensures that the project can pay for itself and the businessman’s money will still be available for other investment. But the Nigerian lamentation about drop in foreign reserves, is in order only because Nigeria has never put rigour in thinking through and implementing an investment policy and devising a framework for project development and sustainability. The current adjustment in crude oil prices and the so called global meltdown is a many sided currency and depending on the quality of governance, you can either take advantage of it or let it drown you. Just the other day, PetroSA, the South African state hydrocarbon company, announced that its 400,000 Barrels of Oil Per Day refinery project will take advantage of the crunch. Suddenly, a project that was originally estimated at $11 billion was now likely to cost between 9.5 and 10 billion dollars. As projects are now being delayed all over the world, PetroSA’s management reasons, the refinery project will be able to tap into a global skills base that was, until recently, under severe strain. When the country talks about lack of money, it is in terms of money to spend, not money to invest. Our quality of spending guarantees that we are, essentially, always broke. That’s why 60dollar per barrel crude oil regime becomes a mourning period for a country that was earning $20 per barrel in 2002. Nigeria in the last two years has used every excuse to discard the sort of investment opportunities that could really ignite its economy. It threw out a policy to encourage those who were keen on building world class size cement manufacturing plants, when it handed out import licences to those who just want to import cement. It threw open its gates to all sort of importers of cassava products after scores of businessmen had brought in money and equipment to manufacture cassava products in the country, based on an earlier policy. This is a country where the government returned $700 Million to investors who were primed to buy up inefficient refineries, and handed over the refineries to the state company that had run the refineries aground in the first instance. Nigeria is being forced into a so called recession by an elite political class that is not interested in its growth. An otherwise enterprising people are being harrassed to “admit” that some crunch that has taken place thousands of kilometers away is the reason for their poor quality of life.

The Replica Watches need for accurate replica watch timekeeping has been historically connected with the expansion of the railroads-a fact that might seem ironic to rolex Watches an unfortunate rolex watches traveller on Britain's privatised 21st century rail network. In many ways it was the railroads who were the impetus for standardised time.Railroad workers needed to know the time accurately and reliably. This wasn't just in the interests of tag heuer Watches passenger service but tag heuer watches also breitling Watches safety. Trains breitling watches leaving at the wrong time could be involved in cartier Watches serious collisions cartier watches. For this reason the railroads needed watches that were omega Watches reliable when subjected omega watches to the motion and dirt of rail as well as easy to read.One of Hamiltons first watch ranges was the 1893 vintage "Broadway Limited" which was marketed as "the watch of Railroad accuracy". The Hamilton railroad watch was also adopted by the American Expeditionary Forces. Hamilton manufactured the iconic 992 series railroad pocket watch afterwards. Since these were mass manufactured, you may find it relatively easy. Sometimes, a piece of railroad and horological history only cost you a few hundred dollars. February 07th 2010 09:26:03 AM

My dad had already owned Zenker Jewelers in Royersford and bought Shulers in Norristown around the time I was graduating from cartier cartier college and may have thought of it as a career for me, said Zenker, who owns and runs Shulers with his wife, Rosanna. I didnt take to it immediately. I thought I was going to be an English professor or something. But this turned out to be a very good thing for me.Zenker got his basic training at the Royersford store and ultimately bought the Norristown business from his father, in addition to a movado watch movado watch Chesterbrook shop that the family opened in 1981 and closed last summer.Alex Zenker, now retired, omega watch omega watch never considered changing the store name, his son noted.He kept the name because the business was so well established.

It was a pretty elegant store and I still have people coming in telling me they got all their china, stemware and flatware from Shulers and have been shopping here for generations -- people who have weathered through the Great Depression and the latest round of financial turmoil with the recession, and all the other things in between.

So you have a lot of valuable information there and its a lot of fun coming into a store.Getting help at a department store jewelry counter can be challenging, Zenker said.If you walk in here, there are three to five people who can help you, and for them its a full- time job. They know all of the product in the store and can talk about it. rolex rolex If you want that product changed in any way, they know how to do it for you.

Yes, the trees are gorgeous. Yes, its full of people.FRANCK MULLER Watches FRANCK MULLER Watches watches But there must be something apart from the chance to enjoy some winter sunshine that has drawn so many FRANCK MULLER FRANCK MULLER to Union Square Park this bright Saturday morning.HUBLOT HUBLOT The reason, it soon becomes clear, is the market. Fresh fruit and vegetables, cakes, breads, meat, seafood, maple syrup and more are all on offer as growers and farmers from around New York State, HUBLOT Watch HUBLOT Watch as well as nearby states Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,HUBLOT Watches HUBLOT Watches hawk their wares.Its all a very pleasant surprise and the ideal lunch stop as part of my journey from the financial district, IWC IWC located at the bottom of Manhattan, to the Metropolitan Museum in Central Park on the Upper East Side.Instead of catching the subway the nine kilometres or so,IWC Watch IWC Watch I had decided earlier this morning to discover Manhattan by foot.It was a quiet start, IWC Watches IWC Watches with security guards almost outnumbering the tourists taking photos LONGINES LONGINES outside the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street.AdvertisementBut the crowds started LONGINES Watch LONGINES Watch to build around the factory outlets that line Broadway filled with jeans, t-shirts and shoes. I negotiate my way through the throng and head to the Lower East Side to LONGINES Watches LONGINES Watches visit the Tenement Museum on Orchard Street.The museum provides a glimpse into the lives of LV LV immigrants who flooded into the United States from the mid-1800s.These mainly poor new LV Watch LV Watch arrivals often made tenement housing blocks on the Lower East Side their first home, with sometimes eight or LV Watches LV Watches more people living in tiny apartments in these five-storey buildings.After the hour-long tour, and a quick happy snap of the famous Katz Deli around the corner from the museum, (remember the Ill have what shes having line in When Harry Met Sally? That was in here.)MONT BLANC MONT BLANC Im famished and so the market comes at the perfect time.I MONT BLANC Watch MONT BLANC Watch choose an Italian cheese stick, which has just a hint of paprika, two red Fuji apples and a tub of yoghurt. All washed down with a glass of warm apple cider while milling with New Yorkers as they go about theirMONT BLANC Watches MONT BLANC Watches weekly shopping.Quite apart from the food, I also see artists hawking their wares,PATEK PHILIPPE PATEK PHILIPPE offering paintings, photographs, jewellery and clothes.But my personal favourite is Mighty Mutts, which has two dogs on hand to tempt people to become pet owners and PATEK PHILIPPE Watch PATEK PHILIPPE Watch give the dogs and cats it rescues off the streets a new home.As the stereotypical Manhattan apartment is small, PATEK PHILIPPE Watches PATEK PHILIPPE Watches often without a balcony and would appear totally unsuitable for dogs, the level of interest is surprisingly high, as are the number of pet owners seen walking their RADO RADO dogs through the streets of New York and in Central Park.As much as I would love to hang around,RADO Watch RADO Watch people watch and perhaps even do a weekly shop,RADO Watches RADO Watches I have to move on and continue my walk to the Museum.But before I do, I grab a bottle of maple syrup from the north-east TUDOR TUDOR US state of Vermont, hoping that I have guessed correctly and there will be no TUDOR Watch TUDOR Watch quarantine issues upon my return to Australia.After Union Square Park, TUDOR Watches TUDOR Watches its on to Madison Square Garden, home of the citys professional basketball and ice hockey teams the Knicks and Islanders, respectively.Games are scheduled throughout the week, mostly at nights but also on Sunday afternoons.Around the ZENITH ZENITH corner is the Empire State Building, which is perhaps the most recognised landmark in a city filled with world-famous attractions. Open until 2am every day, the views from the 86th floor are definitely worth the security screening, ticket price ZENITH Watch ZENITH Watch (about $US20) and queues.Heading further north towards Midtown, I pass Times Square with its big TV screens and reach Rockefeller Plaza, home of US television network NBC.Keen to see the set of Saturday Night Live I join the studio tour, ZENITH Watches ZENITH Watches which goes for about an hour and ends at the gift shop. I do not escape unscathed, unable to resist a Friends coffee mug even though the show ended years ago.The credit card gets a further workout at the various boutiques along PANERAI PANERAI Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue between 50th and 60th streets. But instead of Prada, Versace or Cartier, I keep within my budget and instead go mad at the NBA Store and Banana Republic.As I pass the Plaza Hotel and enter the Upper East Side - home PANERAI Watch PANERAI Watch of the rich and richer - I tug self-consciously at my dress-for-comfort-not-style-even-though-I-am-in-New-York travel clothes as men flashing their Rolex watches and women in Burberry coats swish past.Thankfully the Plaza Hotel also PANERAI Watches PANERAI Watches coincides with the start of Central Park, allowing me to head off Fifth Avenue and walk among the trees up to the Metropolitan Museum, which locals refer to as The Met and is one of the worlds largest art galleries.I pay my fee and get a cute PARMIGIANI PARMIGIANI little red button that serves as my entry ticket. A helpful guide, Amy, tells me the buttons come in 23 different colours and change every day.I ask for advice on where to start, and she advises me to go to the period rooms, PARMIGIANI Watch PARMIGIANI Watch which recreate different periods in history.Her advice proves spot on as I make my way through the fascinating 20-odd rooms that take me back to the period between the 1600s and early 1900s.While it would have been easy to take the 20-minute subway ride rather than walk to the Museum, making the journey on foot has allowed me to see so much more of a city that, PARMIGIANI Watches PARMIGIANI Watches like The Met, needs much more than a day to fully experience.Maybe tomorrow I will walk over the Brooklyn Bridge and watch the sun set. Or take a stroll through Chinatown. Or try to catch a glimpse of some famous movie star having lunch as I wander through Greenwich Village.There are endless possibilities on Manhattan, an island just 22 kilometres long and five kilometres wide, but like nowhere else on Eart February 23rd 2010 01:04:04 AM

And thats kind of special in this business.While engagement and wedding rings account for about 40 percent of business, the main motivation for most customers to stop by is an upcoming anniversary, birthday or special occasion.While Zenker is proud of his status as a dealer of Rolex watches, he is equally pleased to stock affordable jewelry from $25 and up.The hottest thing right now is Pandora jewelry, tag heuer watch tag heuer watch he noted.The line of interchangeable charms and glass beads allows women to color coordinate bracelets, rings, earrings other items with any outfit. The nice thing is, it has appeal for both young and old, Zenker said.As far as those prestigious Rolex watches are concerned, Zenker noted that tag heuer watches tag heuer watches aficionados are a surprisingly diverse group of folks. The watches start at $4,200 and after that the sky is the limit. Over the holidays, he sold a diamond-encrusted, tag heuer tag heuer 18-carat Rolex watch for $65,000. Rolex is very well made and very rugged, and its luxury you can wear every day. We have construction workers wearing them as well as doctors and lawyers. For those of us who are content wearing timepieces that are a little easier on the wallet, Shulers has a wide selection starting at $135,TISSOT tissot Zenker assured.Its kind of an aspiration for me to meet everybodys TISSOT Watch tissot watch expectations. TISSOT Watches tissot watches Its important to me to please them, and its a constant challenge as the business changes.Its not Rolex or Cartier,GUCCI gucci but its much more fun - and much less expensive - to collect.

Just remember to buy what you like, for though they may or may not become highly valuable, CHANEL Watch CHANEL Watch at least you can enjoy them!If interested in learning more about CHANEL CHANEL Swatch watches, check out the links below, andHappy collecting!At first, you think its just another of New York citys many delightful FRANCK MULLER Watch FRANCK MULLER Watch parks - siblings and surrogates of that most famous of all green spaces, Central Park.But this one is different. Yes, the trees are gorgeous. Yes, its full of people.FRANCK MULLER Watches FRANCK MULLER Watches watches But there must be something apart from the chance to enjoy some winter sunshine that has drawn so many FRANCK MULLER FRANCK MULLER to Union Square Park this bright Saturday morning.HUBLOT HUBLOT The reason, it soon becomes clear, is the market. Fresh fruit and vegetables, cakes, breads, meat, seafood, maple syrup and more are all on offer as growers and farmers from around New York State, HUBLOT Watch HUBLOT Watch as well as nearby states Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,HUBLOT Watches HUBLOT Watches hawk their wares.Its all a very pleasant surprise and the ideal lunch stop as part of my journey from the financial district, IWC IWC located at the bottom of Manhattan, to the Metropolitan Museum in Central Park on the Upper East Side.Instead of catching the subway the nine kilometres or so,IWC Watch IWC Watch I had decided earlier this morning to discover Manhattan by foot.It was a quiet start, IWC Watches IWC Watches with security guards almost outnumbering the tourists taking photos LONGINES LONGINES outside the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street.AdvertisementBut the crowds started LONGINES Watch LONGINES Watch to build around the factory outlets that line Broadway filled with jeans, t-shirts and shoes. I negotiate my way through the throng and head to the Lower East Side to LONGINES Watches LONGINES Watches visit the Tenement Museum on Orchard Street.The museum provides a glimpse into the lives of LV LV immigrants who flooded into the United States from the mid-1800s.These mainly poor new LV Watch LV Watch arrivals often made tenement housing blocks on the Lower East Side their first home, with sometimes eight or LV Watches LV Watches more people living in tiny apartments in these five-storey buildings.After the hour-long tour, and a quick happy snap of the famous Katz Deli around the corner from the museum, (remember the Ill have what shes having line in When Harry Met Sally? That was in here.)MONT BLANC MONT BLANC Im famished and so the market comes at the perfect time.I MONT BLANC Watch MONT BLANC Watch choose an Italian cheese stick, which has just a hint of paprika, two red Fuji apples and a tub of yoghurt. All washed down with a glass of warm apple cider while milling with New Yorkers as they go about theirMONT BLANC Watches MONT BLANC Watches weekly shopping.Quite apart from the food, I also see artists hawking their wares,PATEK PHILIPPE PATEK PHILIPPE offering paintings, photographs, jewellery and clothes.But my personal favourite is Mighty Mutts, which has two dogs on hand to tempt people to become pet owners and PATEK PHILIPPE Watch PATEK PHILIPPE Watch give the dogs and cats it rescues off the streets a new home.As the stereotypical Manhattan apartment is small, PATEK PHILIPPE Watches PATEK PHILIPPE Watches often without a balcony and would appear totally unsuitable for dogs, the level of interest is surprisingly high, as are the number of pet owners seen walking their RADO RADO dogs through the streets of New York and in Central Park.As much as I would love to hang around,RADO Watch RADO Watch people watch and perhaps even do a weekly shop,RADO Watches RADO Watches I have to move on and continue my walk to the Museum.But before I do, I grab a bottle of maple syrup from the north-east TUDOR TUDOR US state of Vermont, hoping that I have guessed correctly and there will be no TUDOR Watch TUDOR Watch quarantine issues upon my return to Australia.After Union Square Park, TUDOR Watches TUDOR Watches its on to Madison Square Garden, home of the citys professional basketball and ice hockey teams the Knicks and Islanders, respectively.Games are scheduled throughout the week, mostly at nights but also on Sunday afternoons.Around the ZENITH ZENITH corner is the Empire State Building, which is perhaps the most recognised landmark in a city filled with world-famous attractions. Open until 2am every day, the views from the 86th floor are definitely worth the security screening, ticket price ZENITH Watch ZENITH Watch (about $US20) and queues.Heading further north towards Midtown, I pass Times Square with its big TV screens and reach Rockefeller Plaza, home of US television network NBC.Keen to see the set of Saturday Night Live I join the studio tour, ZENITH Watches ZENITH Watches which goes for about an hour and ends at the gift shop. I do not escape unscathed, unable to resist a Friends coffee mug even though the show ended years ago.The credit card gets a further workout at the various boutiques along PANERAI PANERAI Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue between 50th and 60th streets. But instead of Prada, Versace or Cartier, I keep within my budget and instead go mad at the NBA Store and Banana Republic.As I pass the Plaza Hotel and enter the Upper East Side - home PANERAI Watch PANERAI Watch of the rich and richer - I tug self-consciously at my dress-for-comfort-not-style-even-though-I-am-in-New-York travel clothes as men flashing their Rolex watches and women in Burberry coats swish past.Thankfully the Plaza Hotel also PANERAI Watches PANERAI Watches coincides with the start of Central Park, allowing me to head off Fifth Avenue and walk among the trees up to the Metropolitan Museum, which locals refer to as The Met and is one of the worlds largest art galleries.I pay my fee and get a cute PARMIGIANI PARMIGIANI little red button that serves as my entry ticket. A helpful guide, Amy, tells me the buttons come in 23 different colours and change every day.I ask for advice on where to start, and she advises me to go to the period rooms, PARMIGIANI Watch PARMIGIANI Watch which recreate different periods in history.Her advice proves spot on as I make my way through the fascinating 20-odd rooms that take me back to the period between the 1600s and early 1900s.While it would have been easy to take the 20-minute subway ride rather than walk to the Museum, making the journey on foot has allowed me to see so much more of a city that, PARMIGIANI Watches PARMIGIANI Watches like The Met, needs much more than a day to fully experience.Maybe tomorrow I will walk over the Brooklyn Bridge and watch the sun set. Or take a stroll through Chinatown. Or try to catch a glimpse of some famous movie star having lunch as I wander through Greenwich Village.There are endless possibilities on Manhattan, an island just 22 kilometres long and five kilometres wide, but like nowhere else on Eart March 01st 2010 12:17:19 AM

A helpful guide, Amy, tells me the buttons come in 23 different colours and change every day.I ask for advice on where to start, and she advises me to go to the period rooms, PARMIGIANI Watch PARMIGIANI Watch which recreate different periods in history.Her advice proves spot on as I make my way through the fascinating 20-odd rooms that take me back to the period between the 1600s and early 1900s.While it would have been easy to take the 20-minute subway ride rather than walk to the Museum, making the journey on foot has allowed me to see so much more of a city that, PARMIGIANI Watches PARMIGIANI Watches like The Met, needs much more than a day to fully experience.Maybe tomorrow I will walk over the Brooklyn Bridge and watch the sun set. Or take a stroll through Chinatown. Or try to catch a glimpse of some famous movie star having lunch as I wander through Greenwich Village.There are endless possibilities on Manhattan, an island just 22 kilometres long and five kilometres wide, but like nowhere else on Eart March 04th 2010 07:46:24 AM
