WORLD MARKET









SAMPSON oNWUKA




The world markets does not alter its definition with holiday end of sale or hardly fail to transform some of the basic principles associated with the changes that take place in any society. This 2015 has not fared any different. Unlike the year before some of the ground swells for leading high earn and durable product held their underwear against the thoroughgoing policies of most central banks. There are more Billions in the year 2015 than anytime in world history, billions by percentage of national resources to personal income. There are more currencies entering world markets than the year before and by proxy, U.S dollars is not enjoying exuberance and is not contracting. The quality of such strain over stress is that it promotes competency leading to endurance for periods of economic moderation. It is not to be said that the cornerstone on which this theory is laid is fitting for a struggling world, or least leads to a corrosion of the rough edges for global markets free from friction and zero ball movement. If the attention that is paid to a Federal Reserve is thawed by the premise to ‘hold’ on all interest rate motivation, it is wisdom to transition to a new policy early on 2016. A dip in market this late quarter provide corporate the cockpit for possible policy by next year. We can encourage the argument that some of the pale earnings rate of several companies in the United States suggest a repair to the system dynamic and short falls in the narrow market. In the main market the situation merits half the consideration, that under $40 a barrel for crude oil housing numbers promote signs of endurance, a soft landing on market rate based on the removal unconventional attention to Government exercised polices. In short, the U.S President and the Federal Reserve is enjoying one of the best years – if not the best year – and it looks like the year heralds the end of the damages from 2008. It is interesting that some of the usual landmarks of the previous decades gave to better realities of new financial structure, at least recently, there are new major production markets entering wholesale into the land mark of world. The last time Europe as a market force braced itself against the realities in Asia, in Russia and North America was perhaps in the last 50 years. In essence a comparative between 1920’s economic conditions leading to 30’s bundles under the tapir of a 1950’s economic environment. Perhaps the comparison with the 60’s when Asia was showing reasonable leadership in world markets as against the screaming melee of the Global markets. With new realities these frontiers now resume. Under the market structure – the question of who leads the world is the central question? What do we really expect exactly from the leader economy in Global markets, in the waning BRIC – not BRICS consortia, and with Russia poised to return to the fore of world leadership? A decade has not passed when Europe bonded by Stability Pact waffled at the peak or plateau of market saturation, some countries in Asia including India and China were heralding a new dawn for the sunlight world. Barely a decade ago, U.S enjoyed the attention of being the Super Power – the only Super Power in world markets, a place enjoyed since 1950 when it accounted for more half total Global output. Today, this is not exactly the case, for if we look at the new faces at the world summit brimming with joy at the new realities, the number of rich countries and rich peoples of world have doubled. Japan pinched from the problems of the 90’s following when the wowed the world is grudgingly making a comeback. Hung Kong is reaching into the frontiers of World Banking exercising their large reserve for much of the traded overnight Greenbacks – partly through London or through investment in major Sovereign Interest. A decade ago Brazil was not far-fetched but today there are hardly any go-with all that can exercise hints of exuberance with Brazil in its Portfolio. Much of Eastern Europe relied on daily ration of Bread a decade and half ago, but somehow, Europe is launch pad for several IPOs seeking healthier shore. There are international tigers pushing their envelop in world markets and even our dear seven sisters and brethren of sultans are seeking alternative to crude oil. The question is in the post crude oil economy of the world fostering health of credit – who leads the world? If year ends with half of the world markets uncertain about the direction of the markets especially the Commodity Market, how now can we proceed – who leads the world markets?



One of the dearest implications of world market is that all positive markets are in negative territory – but this is the zero bias convexity. When we emerge from the ashes of 2008 transformed through banks and national polices, we look forward a better world market when in all examples exercised, there are no such markets fluctuating saving perhaps a U.S corporate market shedding a few pounds from last year. It does not mean that it has momentum or lack momentum. It leads to one ultimate question about the problems of market direction under any circumstance when in all circumstance there are no factors committing to the markets. The last time we discover this problem was the entrance of Europe as a compact group into world market in 1999 to world market and China relieved on the corridor from the rest of world. The struggles of that year and the year after proved a poison for then President – George W. Bush – which some argued he that managed to eschew even in the face of September 11th 2001. Upon the competitive environment and global case of market crash, U.S spear-headed the transformation in the 2000s and narrowly won the acclaim for the Super Power in spite of world history. The reality was, U.S as an economic entity was way ahead of Europe as a total basket, including China and India collectively. This is not the case to the extent that the productive curve of these market engines grind slovenly to manufacturing almost with fracture, nearly without alters. It is unlikely to be expected that the chance for any society in the world to live up to its expectation or advance its economic prospects is when one economy ties itself too close to a more primary economy.



The success and decline of Japanese Economy, which now like China is in moderation, is due to the open market policies of the United States whose enviable economic policies is bankrupt in Japan. We may not fail to establish the fact that the creation of Euro as a decoupling effect through overnight Chicago was understudied before introduction, that the main problems associated with such exchange rate is the underlining market structure which make bank lending possible and recovery rate outside the national rate.



In 2014 unlike the decades following the removal of U.S dollars from gold Standard in 1971, there are fewer and fewer Open Market Economies in the world, and there is no denying that the New Economy of Global markets was not enhanced by the U.S actions in 1971. This period in the affairs of the world and global market is so vital that major players will do themselves some good to retain basic knowledge of what could in fact be called the beginning of 21st century Globalization.



Global economy now or anything in the future foster two principal issues of international trade fair, perhaps other issues, but in the case of fair competition from free market the global market was enhanced by the 1971 actions of the U.S government and therefore (1) and the other important feature of 1971 is the stability of Central Banks and Federal Reserve systems.



Put it bluntly, if a consideration between the basic DNA of any economy which is either growth and credit are combined by reason in this act in 1971, that these two compare and contract, and reasons are many to suggest that these two may not meet at any time, but from the actions of 1971, these two are economically placed in one basket.



The rate of credit determines the future market and positive economy, that the inflation is the root course of some of the problems associated with lending – given perhaps the issue of the rate of return when fixed income no longer guarantee adequate payment of dues, create bias for lending therefore economic circumstance outside the vintage of growth. And U.S as we have seen since 1999 shift from U.S Market and economy to China where cheap goods and alternative relieve fixed income workers of the pressure of an over-valued currency.



The shift is a way of arresting inflation and high price dislocations either from interference from local markets or other system dynamic or financial institutions that are capable of lending to minimum requirement for best available goods or credits, where as we experienced from the last 10 years that the determination of the federal government to create credit through IOUs suggest gaps in fiscal policy.



It also suggest new reasons to shift from the rate of returns, suggest new obligation or consumption function, suggest a new realities of increasing demographic, suggest high requirement of banks and hence the issue of lending or buying into a U.S reserve system largely buries the issue of credit. This action calls for a shift from the movement on the graph from one end of full employment to a plateau (that is duration of market and price reversal to bond) delays the dooms day for inflation and funds rate.



One case of this example is U.S in 2012 through 2015 and looking forward, there are open wide demands for higher economic vintage. There are new world markets in the light of today’s market, expressing their

There are high points of political economy or explains its limits, breaks, disappointment, triumphs of European version of capitalism or does not mean that it is different from those of the Americans or from mercantile cases in India and Asia, as with Japan, that Europe capitalism is different.



How different is a psychology asunder playing too close to the inevitability of a merger of the nations of Europe as if it was the circumstances of its political past, driven by war perhaps from war that its permeation of African Society is not central to its survival, it is symbolic of a nature of free market in the converse of militia and the predicament of acquired resources that has a home with its meteoric and its market force.



Perhaps as we have mentioned elsewhere, there are issues of political interest that show why Capitalism in Europe survived differently from what is perhaps available among the nations of the world.
The dictates of Europe society is expended to behave differently when the constituent parts are set to arrive at the attitude to stocks and bonds. Bonds for the fun of it a devil within the repayment process and the debt on which most transformations are made.



In all reality, the questions and the answers of a bond market and duration, why maturation is necessary is navigating and holding Europe and ECB is an intellectual item which emerged from constitution of the society – from petite kingdoms and societies willing to upper-end the resiliency of the raiders who in part driven by religion to westernmost ends of the continents; the Christian voyagers, the Muslims from different part of the world.



The feudal systems that ended the rule of Vikings – each celebrated history made most sinister by the collapse of the religious faith, the catholic church in dissent with a new protestant, the rise of protestant persecution and the wearisome travels into Asia via the Cathay pacific, via the Umbria trials and the Mediterranean, and into Africa as if they were new to its inlaid paths.



It is symbolic of the academic authority to rehearse the history of Europe leading to these problems. First the motivation that force the rest of us to succumb to the acceptance that the rapier psychology European merchants in some unguarded territories in Africa – both in 16th hundred and in the 19th century are constrictive omen peculiar with rise and fall of nations. It is also peculiar with the defense network system with lag emphasis on technology and problem of economic conversion of advanced attitude to money perhaps leads somewhere, where exactly we have Europe, at the cross-roads of valiance and dry economy that it seems the economy may or may not matured, may suggest that Americans economic conditions are not that different from these of Europe.



That the nature of capitalism is riddled in expansion and contraction – perhaps based exercised by banks in deeper azures of most economic nations and capitalist proponent, that perhaps, banks no less a factor as an arm of the financial government is a government in the economy – as no different from the rise and fall of capitalism which in the ends leads somewhere to a lasting impression of Europe in the light of recent exposures and Europe working with the parameters of a single currency and a stability- pact.



We may exchange the primitive vows – now and perhaps elsewhere – that if the story of Europe is a definition of world capital economy, there is something to behold about these consistent problem of debt in Greece and in some other nations in Europe, that it is perhaps a consequence of its future market that Europe may like Brazil and perhaps Russia and to an extent India, represent a new reality from old – how old and how new is what the question going may look to answer.



A special impact zone is outside the operational dynamics of the major companies, may be due to the idea of specialization or what they call in Europe ‘mimetic’ relevance of having all the production activity associated with any product at any levels of raw material, preparation, packaging and distribution and sales, to be rolled in mean regression – dispersion correlative.



That is the creation of special impact zone or the special Economic Zones, involved a degree of Pareto Optimal of satisfying one region simultaneously to another, for instance the Special Economic Zone of ‘SEZ’ of China under the Deng Xiaoping, who emphasized the growth of Shenzhen and parts of Shanghai before other parts of China.



The main events of this transition is that it involves the Banks but just ordinary banks but as we see in China, it involved the Development Bank, and in terms of Indian it involved the creation of ‘Reserve Bank of India’. The point of separating the Dual Role of a Bank, or a central Bank from main frame of events of these structures, is that a future is involved and that future requires a national guarantee even it means developing an area over another.

Rwanda 1994, Darfur and why we need our Thanksgiving and defenders.



By



Sampson I. Onwuka




We write to Rwanda and the genocide of 1994 where Africans took to the matchete to emphasis their point in national Rwanda history. The historical connection between the two tribes seeking redemption at the front, and the two dead presidents led the way to the disastrous bloodletting between two tribes. Over 1 million of these people died in fewer than 2 days. It may or may not be the human part of us that believes in taking lives but the police often mention that getting there on time is far more important, prevention is thin as ice but preferred to curare. If Rwanda 1994 is a satirical remove from our human experience and capacity for evil, there is other things worthy of our higher calling, in Africa, in South America, in Middle East, and right here in our United States, that administrative casualty hardly include the upper rung of the society but intelligence failure is one tie binds all; families, duties and loyalties, which not untie.



We take special interest in this year's Thanksgiving for great things done to others and not ourselves, and for failing to see the difference. We remember with limner's luck that we are one older by thanksgiving, a far searching acceptance that the hills are not on your side. Those who give the most usually receive the least, in war, in peace, in conflict, in goodwill and in friendship. Few days ago - our country celebrated Veteran Day in keeping memoir for all the friends of the military that are no longer at ease. It is not the first and perhaps the last of such celebration anywhere in the world or since the beginning of human written history. it has always being the case that in history we face the facts of war and casualties of its reality. So it seems that the year ends with thanksgiving as it began, but one fiber of reflections gets us closer to our privileged humanity, that without the help of others - there is always an ending which over-state its beginning. But in history if not politics, out attention is not always with the fields unconquered or those undone by these of violence, we remember with thanksgiving we are not like many others, that 'evil triumphs because the good men do nothing', for failing to remember some of the great breakthroughs in our history of the world, especially the Africans far from our homes and families, grateful for a running government and perhaps the rule of law. 
   

 Somalia for many years remained the clutter of war torn enemies and enemy state said to be opposed to United States, and in Angola there was disquiet in almost every political era beginning with Crude oil discovery, the UNITA Rebel forces in Uganda were a problem in Africa until the election of Barack Obama. Almost a year in office all these headaches came to a grinding ends. These circumstances of politics are not political in summary and defective demonstration of Washington Consensus, but it mirrors the debt between an overall position of a state and their reactionary tendencies to the rest of world. It mirrors the role of African Union and United Nations in handling some of the problems with human and natural disasters.


Has it always the case? Perhaps,  

But at the buck and sheen on the process of conflict in Congo is the whole sale pricing of Congo’s most priced assets. Millions of lives where crucified in the names of military expedition with world breathing terror on the neck of even neighboring African States such as Mozambique, Tanzania, Botswana, and Rwanda; where at the instigation of two French expatriates – perhaps robbed of some of their treasured resources or forced out of it by military, took down a presidential jet that led two tribes suspecting each other into long and bloody massacre in 1994.





Leading image of transition and hope for Rwanda, expressing equal fate in a fighter taking his or her stand and defending what's important.  The music is sultry - the reflections are part of the past but the one single act of vigilante explains the other and the story is different for several reasons. Whereas the political tension between the Rwanda Patriotic Front and the army pleases the logic for European entrance into the fabric, there are new realities that make all of victims of our designs.


The face reflect the attitude to Common Wealth resolution after WWII by Winston Churchill

“In War: Resolution,
          In Defeat: Defiance,
In Victory: Magnaminity
          In Peace: Good Will.”



We may point too clear that no case in recent times separates Washington D.C from what is Beijing or the immaterial cases of Consensus than the problems of DARFUR, which then and now divides and bridges Sudan (South of Egypt), for here, in one area, the Chinese and the zootomic India fresh from buying away parts of Tanzania with world’s greatest land real estate, were no longer content on dictating to Tanzania – An African Country – were now interested in partnership China in removing the natives from Oil Rich areas of Sudan. It is an argument – but in the nature of the history of English intervention in the Egypt and the success and consequent failure of Gordon to secure peace for England, widened the problems in Egypt and Sudan at the hand of Malamud and his compeers.

There were eventually removed from power under conspicuous circumstances and in the place of the ancient kingdoms in Sudan, the 800 year war against Islam and with Islam against other versions of Islam came to a defeat and new betrayal. This artificial insemination of cultural distinction and intervention of super power in lesser developed economies, it part time economical and over time, there are serious questions of dominance and political interest and perhaps control.

The toss between control and a consensus is a practical issue of money.... George Clooney had some clue on what happened in DARFUR but the debt of the problems and why American needed a new leader summarized America from a different era.

FIFA 2015 Junior World Cup Champions

By

Sampson I. Onwuka



Five time World Champions at the Junior levels - world Cup, Nigeria leads FIFA in number of wins at U-17 category. Beginning with 1985 World Cup in China, Japan in 1993, Korea 2007, UAE in 2013 and Chile 2015. The only Cup that has eluded this team is the audacious U-20 World Cup. Nigeria has won several U-20 Championship in Africa but easily fumbled in their nearest attempt at U-20  world. Brazil as a power house have over the years shown why they are best football country, and has since the inception of the tournament in the 1970's won at least five Championship. The same is the case is 1985 U-20. We look at the greater expectations in Chile 87 and one Nigeria's most disastrous outing in football loosing nearly all the games including a handsome spanking by Williams of Brazil in the rampage 4-0.


Brazil is pushing for a place among the U-17 stars right behind Nigeria and has enough to show for it a higher level. There are great escaping for several countries of World at some level; Argentina has never won U-17 world cup, Brazil - the Olympics, and many other traditional power houses. Whereas Germany, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, France and to some degree England, are traditional football power houses with at least with one Major title - Senior World Cup to their credit and Brazil, Germany, Italy, Argentina more than once, Nigeria has not made it to the round of 8 or the quarter-finals at the senior world cup. The closest they came is 1994 and lash of Italian resilience prove a sheen too hard to break. Nigeria however cannot be called an outsider to Football tradition and with a fifth win at U-17, the world expect Nigeria to show its classic formation and lack of error for the major cup. In essence and in default, Nigeria is no longer a yeoman with FIFA, they are football traditional house and need to show the mettle at the U-20 coming in 2017 which started on Monday perhaps. A class a part from Mexico means that they will looking hold the pretty cup next two years and I for one, expect the leaders to take their place.


Some experts attributed the failure to lack of preparation for the most demanding Fifa tournament. The most important is by far the U-17 and perhaps the most traditional. But the total measure of good football in any country is not U-17 fraught with struggling young high School students but on those who by the next competition have made the Football as a chosen career.

It is not for lack of trying that these teams reach the finals and grapple at failures for even trying, there is something wrong with U-20 and the failures of Nigerian teams - including Africa. It was Nigeria that broke the back for Olympics 1996 and the silver lining in later years. But it was Ghana that divided the spoils for Africa at U-20 world.

Never has a country opted to change its image in football than Nigeria at U-20 - BUT somehow, the expectations of the Country compel a failure and a failed attempt altogether. 
 
With gold majors for Nigeria back to back 2013 - 2015, there are failures for U-20 in 2017. The defense of the title is also a hot commodity which these Eaglets can not afford to lose.




When it matters the most - there will be stars - Nwakali, Oshimen to name a few....before this class graduate - they should be more stars in the eagle's nest.

Although U-17 has make-shift for players in the world - the gathering storm of the next leaders in football is usually at the U-20. We look back to the nearest periods of Nigeria participation at the FIFA games for U-20 - the 1983 world Cup with All-star team including Samson Siasia and Andrew Uwe who made to the semi-finals but lost to Brazil.

The team produced top scorer of the competition Victor Oshimen with 10 out of 23 goals scored by Nigeria, setting new records for the competition and for any Nigerian team including Iheanacho 2013.

U.S Airlines and the Holidays.



By

Sampson I.M Onwuka






U.S Airports may witness a high volume of travelers this seasons leading up to the Christmas 2015. The percentage of travelers will be up by at least 3% in volume from last year with estimated number approaching 25.5 million demographic Americans. The problem of random selection at the airport may be dissipated since 9/11/2001, there are newer requirement at the airport for new costumers a and for those traveling under the fringe protection of their own identity. Part of the little changes that has surfaced this year the airports is the loss of traditionally held value and a sense of apprehension following new merger and acquisition of American Airlines and United Airways. 

Boeing Airlines made the list of large carrier and as such continuing with the aircraft for space satellite were considered outsiders for public consumers. This place a burden on the airline with many International Route. A third possible influence is the crash of EgyptAair 99 over Sinai which has gotten nearly enough press over the essence of vigilance – here in U.S and in elsewhere the possibilities are endless - so also the higher call for vigilance at the U.S Airport.  

One problem which these changes have not reflected is the question of multi or false identity, using people traveling under pretensions of other passengers. Beside the issue of security at the airports and the material case of luggage which gets stolen, the lack of detailed attention to personal items are increasingly growing and police security serve as soft nerves with delicate imprecations. We look at the more careless issue of obtaining information. It is interesting that this year alone, several informed business organization including U.S Airways went to the bank over the poverty of information and availability of real flight information. 

This lack of adequate and leading information for high time fly is perhaps one of the challenges facing bill gates and giants such as micro-soft or share company. For it seems that the role of remotely accessed Imhotep - not necessarily a cobra (corbra) is governed by sabra and in turn contributed from day one to the shortfall in Airways and privileged. The privileged access to information is what several Airlines in U.S should looking to deal on; flight time, business agenda and corrigenda, means and ways to corridor information and customer feed back. 

The idea of booking ahead is not bad, but if Southwest Airline is not above curious cases of public harassment - it is contingent on attitude and dominance of any major route single hand.    

The role of I.S.O op and urbane S.O op is current and futuristic for how it renders protected and monopoly informed access to airline best practice.
