South-East:

No you complete your silly job;[b] you created this thread to laugh at Ebonyi [/b]but in the process you showed how ignorant you are.

No you complete your silly job; you created this thread to laugh at Ebonyi but in the process you showed how ignorant you are.

jmaine:

Good thread from Harem

alj_harem:

I brought out this list for us Nigerians to be reflective of the fact that upon all this, an average Nigerian is still suffering. Our roads are bad. The Government does not want to pay the minimum wage of just 18,000N which amounts to nothing. Nigeria has a lot of potentials and have been under explored by out Government.



EBONYI STATE
-   Lead
-   Gold
-   Salt

Rhino.5dm:

Those are the fake pictures they keep  painting to make people lazy. Until i see state by state human capacity potential, this deduction remains  IsNull=val(Rhino_5dm.Text). Thank you.

South-East:

Google is your friend, dude

alj_harem:

laugh at what. i think it is a good thing that ebonyi has gold although I did not expect it but from my research i found out there is gold present.

alj_harem:

thanks man, what do you think about the this and how Nigeria government have been underrating us and Nigeria as a country

South-East:

1. Many of the natural resources in terms of solid minerals are found in the North. The Savanna vegetation would support mineralization activity than heavy rainfall areas wheremineralization will more easily be followed by increased weathering activities that degrade solid minerals.

2. The North has ruled Nigeria more than the south

Yet the North remains the poorest of the poor

Why is that so, Alj Harem Yorubaman who wannabe Kanuri? SMH I am not yoruba but thanks for the compliment

jmaine:

This thread reveals our need to move away and divest from our Crude oil blindness . . . Every region has some real gem buried beneath them that can be used to develop every part of the country . . . Though the perennial deficiency of human capital to harness them is another huge factor that . . . .If not addressed will only render those  . minerals. . dormant as they always have  . . .

South-East:

Crude oil is for everyone, but the solid minerals are for those in who states they are found. That is the inequality that needs to be addressed first. As we speak, illegal gold mining is ongoing in Osun and Niger and Zamfara and Sokoto
Zamfara folks went on illegal lead mining and 400 of them died of lead poisoning following seepage into drinking well waters

Thank you.

The human resources of Maidugury = boko haram.
The natural resources of Maidugury = bombs.
The state govt = JTF.
The citizens = 100 metre champs, running for their lives from their own state faster than Usain Bolt.

The above is the story of Nigeria. What is the purpose of resources when the will to be educated and intelligence to harness them are lacking?

Japanese natural resources = zero.
Japanese economic size = Worlds 3rd largest.

alj_harem:

Dude you represent jonathan on this forum and yet you are very tribalistic. What kind of a person are you

Abagworo:

All these lists are bullsh*t.The only mineral resource that runs Nigeria is oil and it is found mostly in Rivers and Delta States with fringes in Imo,Abia,Bayelsa and Akwa-Ibom State.

A lot of politics has been played with the oil including assigning offshore wells of beyond 40 nautical miles to States in order to make them oil-producing.The best thing is to stop oil production and focus on these minerals in our imaginary list.
