CityNG:


You didn't answer the question that you quoted.

I ask again.

What specific Nigerian resource is the US milking away?

To learned folks, there's a huge difference between an "investment opportunity" and "milking away".

Iya Sikira alakara is selling akara. I go there and she willingly gives me a discount on her akara. I continue to patronize her because she recognizes me as a staunch customer so it is an investment opportunity.

If I stay their and when she turns her back and I then steal one akara then that is miking away.

In both instances she is free to stop doing commerce with me.

So they invest to d point that they don't lack petrol and sell a gallon of petrol @ 3$ for a country that don't produce petrol

MissMeiya:


I'm sorry, WHAT?? Did you just say that America created Nigeria?


We have the highest percentage of stúpid people in the world.

You mean the same Boko Haram the US designated a terrorist group ages ago?

Why are most of you so uninformed?

noblezone:


Missy,
By they, I am not referring to America!
I am referring to Colonialists and Imperialists!

Remember, I was replying to someone who mentioned "Africa".
Also Missy, I did not say Nigeria, I said Countries.

You did not understand what I was saying and you have already started running around with megaphone announcing how stupid you think I am.
Missy, haba!

zeroshadow:

This is madness, dude!

OgologoDimkpa:

GEJ have come to stay.
Send the message clear to your old and expired GMB.
You and your ilks planned dissuading GEJ from declaring via killing of innocent children through your Bokoharam
but it did not stop him.

Whether GEJ read Zoology or not is immaterial in this matter; the fact still remains t
hat there is no vacancy in ASO ROCK.

Corruption did not start with GEJ and was present when your old and expired presidential candidate GMB was in power.

You guys should stop gambling with innocent lives just to discredit GEJ.
Call your Bokoharam boys to other.

GEJ till 2019!!

NAME THE COUNTRIES THAT AMERICA HAS COLONIZED. THEN DEFINE IMPERIALISM.

DRealGeesam:
Hmmmm. But seriously there LOTS of countries that are willing to sell to us and dont give a damn about USA policies, why cant we patronize them.

Blaming USA for our whoas is getting stale, we are at war, we cant keep being the cry baby of the world.

It is also high time our government start investing heavily in Research and Development. Who says we cant build our own weapons?

South Africa has nuclear weapon, North Korea that is far poorer than Nigeria has good weapons development programs. What are we still waiting for

Money being spent on pilgrimage, should be diverted into Research and Development, In technology and medicine. Of what national benefit is the pilgrimage our government spends billions on, sending thousands of people to Mecca and Jerusalem.

We had better wake from our silly slumber

How can a country be so blessed and rich as Nigeria and we cant invest in weapons developments, then why do we have so many first class engineers in the first place?

I was at the Airforce Industries, Kaduna about 4 years ago. Honestly things are still archaic there. We are not at par with this decade at all.

USA is world power today, because they invested in research and development not sponsoring their people on pilgrimage to mecca and jerusalem.

NIGERIA!!! WAKE UP!!!

Haba!

Post advert today and ask nigerians to volunteer in weapons development and see how you will be flooded with ideas and men of great knowledge

It wont be easy as ABC, but it is not that difficult too if there is visionary leadership. FACT: India is already sending men to space and probes to the moon and Mars (they where the first to discover water on the moon) yet they got independence only 13 years ahead of Nigeria

onitshaigbo:


It's offensive to Igbos that you are sugarcoating the crimes against humanity perpetrated against the Igbos. Of all the violence in the history of Nigeria, none can come close to be compared to the atrocities against Igbos in the Biafran War.

komekn:
It is an assumption based on hearsay and misinformation that we have made an official requisition request to the USA for arms procurement and were refused it is not proven and or substantiated by any Nigerian and or USA Officials. This discourse is currently lost in cheap gutter politicking by Nigeria politicians.

An official requisition order for arms procurement will be specific about weapon systems types and quantity as well as payment terms. If there are controversial aspects of this requisition it is not unknown for it be a subject of various USA congressional select committees before approval is granted.

Nigeria has not completed any of these formalities with regard to USA arms procurement.

Instead we have continued to use middlemen as opposed to direct government to government procurement with the whole transaction shrouded in subterfuge. The reasons are simplistic but very familiar in the context of Nigeria – CORRUPTION our penchant for kick back, over inflation , superfluous consultation fees makes the USA and indeed most Western nations unattractive on account of high level of probity. This makes the option of China, Ukraine and Russia more amiable to us where such practices are common place.

jpphilips:


A US official said something like that last week, he made a funny remark at the end that Nigerian officials have no knowledge of international politics, he said middle men arm dealers hardly purchase NATO rounds and hardwares it is negotiated directly by government and their senate will have to approve if there is merit of need.

He equally lamented that the Nigerian officials are lamenting over what they don't understand.
Just read the comments here and have a feel of the kinda block heads on the streets of Nigeria.
so shameful.

jpphilips:


you must be an illiterate to think that the yanks don't produce petrol.
I don't blame you guys shaa, it only brings me closer to reality that education in Nigeria is a disaster.
You think you produce more oil than the yanks since 2010?
Can Nigeria even see a drop of oil without the help of FDI.

Most of you who are only privileged to attend roofless classes should learn to behave in public, just read the comments and post emoticons where you think you deserve an opinion.

bushdoc9919:


Yours is the only post that makes sense on the thread.

In South and North Korea....they both had no domestic weapons programme by 1960....everything was imported.

Now, both of them do.

In an oil rich society like Nigeria....investing in technology is something that is despised.....after all we can use our oyel kudi to import what we need.

So we refuse to invest in local technology, we refuse to invest in technical people, and we refuse to invest in technical education.

Instead we use our oil money to remain dependent on foreign powers through imports (sigh).

Oil is a curse.
