Hi Naira landers.. Here's the first House building machine in Nigeria.. The pix below is just what the machine will look like. The machine is called 3D house printer.
This machine will be capable of building a house from the floor level to the roofing level of a house without the direct involvement of human labour. The details are here; www.nairaland.com/2217438/sponsor-me-build-3d-house

Please, can I reproduce this your post in an international tabloid? I like it.
Sweetguy25:
Its time for the people of the Niger Delta to come together and demand that all resources inherent in their lands and environments be controlled only by them.

I don't support the destruction of infrastructure and other violent acts.

Niger Deltans have had enough. It is unfair that their resources are being commercialized and used to run an inefficient and useless entity like Nigeria.

Enough is Enough.

CRS used to have a much larger allocation and it now has a debt issue because of the shortfall as a result of the change.

After Duke we have Akpabio who has been even more dynamic.

Some will argue that Amaechi has done well in Rivers. Likewise the governor in Edo state.

There are productive governors in the ND and legislators with good ideas who have been pushing for development. Are there any in the north? Have there ever been any in the north? This is why resource control is so important - you cannot give the loudest voice to the weakest link. That is the problem with Nigeria at the moment.
leave d north out of this. They aren't asking 4 resource control. When they do then I will ask d questions am asking now. Its unfortunate that after 16years and several trillions, we can only mention 3 people who have impacted d lives of niger deltans. Apart from AKS, edo and CRS are among d least in revenue in d niger delta and nigeria as a whole. Thank god u said they have performed. Did they do it with resource control? Am sure u heard of lucky igbinedion and u can asseSs his performance when he ruled edo 4 8yrs. His bro was indicted 4 stealing N25b when lucky was gov and he was asked †☺ pay back just N3m. That is d one we no. Imagine what that money would have done in d lives of edo citizens. There was a certain delta steel coy DSC ovwian aladja in warri. It was established by shagari. There was also aluminium smelting co of nigeria ALSCON port harcourt set up by abacha. Guess what? they are dead. It was d leaders in these communities that contributed †☺ their demise. I lived in DSC and I no what am talking about. These are resources that any country in d world would die 4. With what comes into d niger delta by reason of revenue, if properly used, d states can build refineries their own and even buy oil wells.

You cannot leave the north out of the discussion because they are the ones blocking full resorce control. They get federally allocated money which they waste, even worse than Amaechi - Rivers state has sufficient schools, does Borno? I'm glad that they caught those thieves in Edo, they are not the only ones but the situation is more desperate in the north yet they are just as corrupt and wasteful.

You brought up Abacha as though he was a good leader - he is the most destructive in Nigerian history. No business will thrive in a corrupt environment. That goes back to Shagari and through Babangida.

Northern governors and legislators have a political voice which has never been used for anything productive - besides Sharia law and child brides what have northern governors agitated for? Instead of building schools, drainage or other facilities or encouraging industry they cry about polio vaccinations - as a result Nigeria has polio in 2015, the only African country to do so.

u are dissipating your energy needlessly. Put out d fire in your own backyard b4 u c d one In d north. Its niger delta that is asking 4 resource control not d north.

Just imagine what good these stolen money would have done. I didn't tell u abacha was a saint neither am I saying he was evil. As regards this discussion he set up ALSCON and sited it in PH or is he d one who killed ALSCON? Or was it shagari that milked DSC dry? D paSt is d past. What's d way forward?

How do you get a law passed when more than half of the people who make up the legislature are against progress or self-sufficiency?

You are arguing dishonestly.

The ND has suffered from the same problems that the country as a whole has had but there are states in the ND, alongside Lagos that are making strides, they have and are making use of their Federal allocaiton - what are the other states doing? What have the north-eastern states done to ensure that their people can take care of themselves?

I don't know about ALSCON in PH but they are functioning in Uyo - that is question for Amaechi and friends.

I don't need to look anywhere.

AKS is moving forward.

CRS will hopefully get back on track.

Uyo and Calabar are still two of the most habitable cities in Nigeria.

As things stand there is a region of this country holding everyone else back, that is a fact. It impacts investor confidence, it drains resources and it's destructive for national self-confidence.

I would not care at all if Nigeria were a proper federation, alas we have silly quotas and the federal government swallows much of the resources that come from the south. That is a problem. If you were being taxed at 87% would you not claim injustice? That is what the 13% derivative amounts to, plus whatever they send back by the way of the NDDC, a useless organization that does the shoddiest work in the ND.

You cannot reason clearly if you fail to see that being allowed to keep 13% of the oil revenue amounts to a tax by the Federal government of 87%.

The constitution has been skewed to give the largest voice to the most retrogressive people - that is a fact. The entity that is and has always been the least productive has pushed for unitary measures where there has been no accountability.

It is very different from what is happening in South Africa. You fail to understand history if you think the two are similar.

If you wish to compare anyone to South Africans it should be the poor northerners who still fail to see that it is their emirs, their sultans and their politicians that keep them in bondage. They are the ones killing their fellow Africans, not the ND people or Yorubas.

The system under which the Emirs and Sultans rule is incompatible with democracy - the closest equivalent in the south would be the Obas but even they do not wield any real power or influence. Even the traditional titles that the southerners pay lip service to are earned titles and not inherited. Because the southern states are more egalitarian with greater social mobility there is opportunity for someone like Goodluck Jonathan become an important statesman and for others to succeed in business and thus supersede those who hold traditional office - this is not so in the north and is the cause of the stagnation there.

I find it amusing that you should mention Jesus because the most common protagonists in the game of corruption and misinformation in the south have always been the religious bodies. No one in the south is calling for violence against northerners, only that there should be greater Federalism which would entail greater resource control.

Fact remains, there is no comparison between what happens in the south of Nigeria and what is happening in South Africa and what has so often happened in northern Nigeria.

When I mentioned jesus I didn't tell u 2 give your life †☺ him neither did I promise u wealth riches and success through jesus. I only borrowed one of his wise saying just d way I can borrow from d words of awo, wole soyinka, ahmadu bello, ganhdi, mao tse zung and d likes. So pls understand context. Am sure u aware that d reason south africans are into xenophobia is that they feel migrants are responsible 4 their unemployment. They even accuse foreigners of taking their girls hence they can't get married. That's d blame game. If u engage in d blame game then that's similar. Don't compare your region with d north. There's no basis 4 comparison

What is to envy about the north it has consistently been one of the most backwards places on earth. Illiteracy rates of 50%+; polio, fistula, malnutrition, child brides - who would envy that? Have you seen the WAEC and NECO results of the northerners?

Who are these good leaders from the north? Why did you list Ahmadu Bello? Was he not the same bigot who was so angered by Igbo ambition that he said he would prefer to import labor from abroad than hire a Nigerian from the south?

The 'stagnation' that you mentioned is not there in the south - there are signs of progress everywhere.

if u feel they are so backward, then y are u so fixated on them? How many professors have u seen getting fixated on d lives of illiterates? Which millionaire have u seen get engrossed with how d poor live their lives? Instead they are fixated on those like them or better than them. How could u b so interested in people u call "stagnant" yet u claim 2b better than them? If u aren't thinking of how †☺ help then y do u judge? U don't drool over peoples misfortune. I don't no were u got your information about ahmadu bello from, but its good †☺ make a distinction between facts and hearsay. I seriously don't no what " ibo ambition" u are talking about when it was his party NPC and Ziks party that formed d coalition govt in d first republic. So if he was against "Igbo ambition", what was he doing with Zik? Then if we agree that there are signs of progress everywhere in d south then we certainly don't need people blowing up any more pipelines

Bill Gates has a foundation that is fixated upon solving the problems of those who cannot/will not assist themselves. Warren Buffett has pledged to give away the bulk of his fortune to worthy causes, it's called philanthropy - an idea lost on the likes of Dangote who had to wait until Bill Gates got involved before he decided to use any of his money to assist with the Ebola crisis.

You fail to understand the socio-economic impact of illiteracy and destructive backwards practices which is why you would ask why anyone else should be concerned - Boko Haram have come about as a direct result of the inaction of northern governors. The riots and killing that take place in the north every so often have similar roots.

Here is your Ahmadu Bello, in his own words.

One of the biggest mistakes that Zik and Awo made was their inability to put their personal ambitions aside and do what was best for the progressive peoples of Nigeria.
