I stumbled on @adaezeinchrist wall and suddenly liked the challenge which propelled me participate.

The theme for discussion is timely and crucial as far as I am concerned because it's very current. I hope to share my perspective on how I coined it to be globalisation; it's effect in all facets. Before I proceed, I felt like throwing light on some key words which could help subsequently to form a good premise for the discussion.

What's Globalisation?

Immediately I saw this word, what dropped on my mind is GLOBAL.
Global simply means worldwide or whole world or simply put the world.
Globalisation is the process in which a business or any organisation grow or development to exert a worldwide influence or the effect of such growth/development is experienced internationally.
Globalisation is when a business or organisation operates at the world level.
Globalisation could also be seen as a catalyst which pushes a nation or organisation from where they are to pinnacle of the entire world impact or influence.

I would like to share how globalisation has affected my country. In the nutshell the effect of globalisation in my country Nigeria.

POSITIVE IMPACT

• AGRICULTURE. This is an integral area of my country that globalisation has really improved presently. The Land is so blessed with many agricultural products like groundnuts, cashew maize are among the few that is grown in my nation which of recent started gaining international reputation. Most of these produce are rapidly exported to other nations today which inturn convert it to other finished product. This became feasible because of the effect of globalisation on the agricultural sector.
• COMMERCE. This entails the selling of goods and services. Globalisation has made it possible for so many business transaction today. In fact with the advent of e-commerce, one can just order for whatever product he wants online and will be delivered immediately. The services providers like Jumia, Konga and others constitute as agents for the global transaction. If not because of this possibility, some investors would have gone extinction by now. My country buys things from other countries online and they're being waybill to Nigeria. Commerce also involves drop shipping.
• TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION/ADVANCEMENT. Technology has become the bedrock of any societal development today. These includes the invention of Information technology, sophisticated gadgets etc which greatly assist in more production than the former archive way. The educational sector has received drastic shift since the innovation of technology. Students can now relate with other students across the world via the internet and the use of computer to attend their classes. Recordings could also be done which will be stored for future reference. This also brings about unified educational pursuit.
• PRODUCTION. In the manufacturing industries today, globalisation has really caused rapid change. The introduction of of heavy duty machines, production time, cost has been reduced drastically. Globalisation has caused improvements in massive production of things.
  This makes my country to produce in a proportion to meet the global standards.
• CULTURAL SOCIALISATION. In the course of traveling from one country to another, there is inter cultural relationship that is established. It causes influence of one language over another.

NEGATIVE IMPACT INCLUDES:

• Globalisation has reduced some organisations or countries in terms of cultural heritage all in attempt to meet the world standard. Other countries would be influenced by others who will less of their culture.
• Globalisation also creates fear of intimidation amongst other developing nations on how, when would they grow to cope with the world challenges? There will be inferiority complex challenge. It can cause corruption.
• Globalisation could create a dependable spirit or relationship. The under developing countries would depend on others may be forced to adjust to meet up. There will be inequalities. Some nations will be higher than others.

The effect of globalisation can't be overemphasized. Therefore I want to invite some of friends to join in order to share their own view. @hivedeb @flamethrow @desiredlady. The link
