Nigeria’s oil production ends in 41 years

Nigeria’s oil reserve will be depleted in 41 years, according to a World Bank Group’s twice-yearly analysis of the issues shaping Africa’s economic prospects called Africa’s pulse.

The report which was presented by the World Bank’s chief economist for Africa, Shantayanan Devarajan, yesterday said Nigeria’s and Angola’s oil reserves will be depleted in 41 and 21 years respectively.

“Nigeria, the largest regional producer, can keep supplying at 2011 levels for another 41 years, while Angola, the second largest producer in the region, has about 21 years remaining at current production levels before its known reserves are depleted.

 “Given the size of these reserves, it is likely that the dependence on oil resources in these countries are likely to continue in the near to medium term. Production in newly oil-rich countries such as Ghana and Uganda could also last for several years.”

 According to the World bank’s chief economist, Mineral wealth in African countries including Nigeria don’t translate to prosperity because the money accruing from it doesn’t pass through the citizens, and the citizens don’t see the wealth as theirs.

Facebook hits 1billion users

Co-founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg made the announcement, saying the number is “humbling.”

“This morning, there are more than one billion people using Facebook actively each month,” he said in a statement.

“If you’re reading this: thank you for giving me and my little team the honor of serving you. Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by far the thing I am most proud of in my life.”

Interviewed on the NBC Today show, he called the number a major achievement.

“To be able to come into work every day and build things that help a billion people stay connected with the people they care about every month, that’s just unbelievable,” Zuckerberg said.

Facebook said it reached one billion monthly active users on September 14 at 12:45 pm Pacific time. That includes 600 million mobile users. In its last update in June, Facebook said it had 955 million users including 543 million using mobile devices.

The California company launched a hotly anticipated public offering in May, but has seen its share price tumble amid concerns that it may not be able to grow revenues as users migrate to mobile devices. Facebook shares, which hit the market at $38 in May, rose 1.2 percent early Thursday to $22.06, having fallen by more than half. In the NBC interview, Zuckerberg said the company was moving forward despite some rough patches.

“Things go in cycles. We’re obviously in a tough cycle now and that doesn’t help morale, but at the same time, you know, people here are focused on the things that they’re building,” he said. “I mean, you get to build things here that touch a billion people, which is just not something that you can say at almost anywhere else, so I think that’s really the thing that motivates people.”

Analysts are divided on whether Facebook can leverage its massive user base for advertising and other revenues and still remain loyal to Zuckerberg’s goal of making it a service to connect the world. Trip Chowdhry at Global Equities Research remains bearish on Facebook, saying the company has failed to come up with a credible expansion plan. “OK, one billion users, now what? How do you monetize them?” Chowdhry told AFP.

“The problems with Facebook remain the same.” But Lou Kerner of the Social Internet Fund says the market is underestimating Facebook’s ability to drive revenues higher. “While Facebook continues to grow its user base, recently surpassing one billion active members, the law of large numbers means that user growth is slowing,” he said. “However, engagement per user continues to grow rapidly, and that’s the metric that will increasingly drive revenue.” Since Facebook’s launch, users have produced over 1.13 trillion “likes,” some 140 billion friend connections and have uploaded 219 billion photos.

The social network has also seen 17 billion location-tagged posts, including check-ins, and 62.6 million songs which have been played 22 billion times. The median age of the user is around 22, according to Facebook. According to the independent website Social Bakers, the largest number of Facebook users are in the United States, over 166 million, followed by Brazil (58 million), India (55 million), Indonesia (47 million) and Mexico (38 million). Zuckerberg, in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek released Thursday, said the company was taking the new milestone in stride.

 “We don’t want to overly celebrate any particular milestone, so what we do is we have hackathons,” he said. “So people will be thinking of ideas and working on prototypes and things that we’ll need to do to help connect the next billion people, which I think is pretty cool.”

 The growth figures have been clouded by concerns about dubious accounts. Facebook’s own figures show as many as 83 million may come from dubious sources — duplicate accounts, pages for pets and those designed to send spam. Some 8.7 percent of the accounts may be dodgy, the company said in its quarterly filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Man jailed and given 600 lashes for asking for Facebook Sex

A Saudi court sentenced a man to five years in prison and ordered him lashed 600 times after he was caught offering his body on Facebook.

Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice arrested the man after raiding his address mentioned on his Facebook page. A local news agency, Sabq reported that the man, believed to be in his 30s, was arrested after a Saudi national alerted authorities about the posting of “an indecent proposal to offer himself for sexual acts” on a Facebook account.

The man admitted that he had made the sex proposal via Facebook. Comments online were unanimous about the “need to punish the man for going public with his vices.” “I cannot believe that he has done this and he is supposed to be a mature person in his 30s,” Amer wrote. Om Muhannad wrote of how shocked she was by his proposal.

 “I have always had concerns about teenagers, and now I read about a man in his 30s getting into such acts,” she wrote. However, Abu Khalid wasn’t quick to condemn the man as he believes the man needs help. “It is a serious issue and the man needs help.

Let us pray that he overcomes his condition. It is very wrong to condemn him. We have to be careful because someone in the family could also be afflicted one day,” he wrote. Mohammad Abu Adel said that people should not be quick to condemn the man.

“He may have mental or psychological issues. Do you seriously think that someone with a sane mind would do this? Please do watch what you post,” he commented on the news site.

Saudi Arabia, bans deviant sexual behaviour and its courts punishes it with corporal sentences. Whether the man needs help or not, he will serve the complete duration of his sentence and get his lashes.

Lagos State Government won’t allow other states’ number plates

Lagos State Government on Wednesday said it would no longer allow the use of vehicles with number plates from other states of the federation for commercial transportation in the state.

It also advised residents with private vehicles to change to the state’s number plates to reflect the fact that they are living in Lagos.

The Director, Vehicle Inspection Office, Mr, Gbolahan Toriola, said the measure was meant to achieve “sanity, standard, safety and security” as stipulated by the road traffic law.

Toriola spoke at the vehicle inspection safety campaign organised by the Ministry of Transportation in conjunction with the Political and Legislative Bureau for commercial drivers in Ikeja. He said, “There is nothing wrong in bringing commercial buses from other states. But if you must use it in Lagos, you have to change the colour and re-register it with us so that we have your information in our database.

 “This is a standard procedure. As a matter of fact, it you have lived in a state for about three months, you are no longer a visitor and therefore you must change your number plate to reflect the state. It is done in America and other developed nations. “Of course, this provision did not affect inter-state vehicles carrying passenger from other state.

 But we don’t expect them to pick or drop passengers at every bus stop. There are dedicated bus stops and parks for inter-state vehicles. If they violate this and we get them, they will face our law. “You must put waste basket in your buses; there must be first aid box; you must carry extra tyres. These are what our law stipulates.” The VIO boss who highlighted the provisions of the traffic law, advised them to cooperate with the government to ensure security in the state.

A director in the ministry, Mr. Bola Matanmi, also advised the drivers not to turn themselves to traffic officials, but instead apply to the ministry so that they would be given a Special Marshall status. He added that the union would be given the privilege to choose the colour of the uniform for drivers and conductors.

Special Adviser to the Governor on Political and Legislative Affairs, Mr. Muslim Folami, said the traffic law, which has 43 sections and four schedules was for the interest of Lagosians.

He urged the drivers to submit to the law for sanity and safety.

Facebook to allow users to highlight posts for fee

Facebook to start charging their users? Is it because the world’s largest social network has seen its stock price sag since its market debut at $38 per share. Shares closed at $21.83 Wednesday.Anyways,just read

“As part of a test starting today, people in the US can promote personal posts to their friends on Facebook,” the company said in a statement Wednesday.

 “Sometimes a particular friend might not notice your post, especially if a lot of their friends have been posting recently and your story isn’t near the top of their feed,” it said.

“When you promote a post — whether it’s wedding photos, a garage sale, or big news — you bump it higher in news feed so your friends and subscribers are more likely to notice it.”

 The option will be made available to users with fewer than 5,000 friends and subscribers, Facebook said. Facebook did not specify the price of the new service, but TechCrunch.com said it would start at $7 per post, making it a potentially major source of profit for the social network, which counts 955 million members.

 The testing began in New Zealand in May and has gradually spread to other countries. A dismal stock market debut in May raised questions about Facebook’s profitability, and since then the company has said it is considering new revenue-generating schemes, including charging for some services.

 Last month the company revamped its “Offers” service to require payments, starting at $5 per ad, for the deals offered through Facebook — making companies pay for what had been free advertising until now.

 Facebook has also added a feature that lets users send real-life cupcakes, coffee, stuffed animals or other gifts to friends in the social network.

 The “Gifts” program is being rolled out gradually, starting in the United States, and Facebook stands to get a fee for brokering purchases.
