Thank you for this wise correction.

Ajaokuta is a sad tale for Nigeria. It is a combination of greed from selfish leaders and international interests from world powers.

It was in the best interest of the USA and UK to see a failed Ajaokuta because it was a project undertaken by the defunct Soviet Union. They did not want am adversary to have any meaningful alliance with a former colony. Trust our selfish leaders to orchestrate the destruction of the project as that is what they do best, destroying the future of Nigerians.

Do you know how much influence Nigeria would have today if Ajaokuta Steel complex was fully operational?

I do not have the energy to discuss, I wish I did.

The biggest problem of Nigeria is bad leadership.

You could say problem of Nigeria was bad leadership, the period when you could say that is long gone. It is almost impossible for the Nigeria of today to produce a good leader. Just loook at the options we have for the presidency, none of them has any business being president.

The seeds planted by bad leadership between 1960-1980s have now become trees producing even worse fruits. Bad leadership in the past has produced bad citizens such that Nigeria is beyond saving now. There will allwlays be individual successes along the way but Nigeria will always be a poor country going nowhere. Know this and know peace.

In truth the problem of Nigeria was never bad leaders, no country has bad leaders for so long unless it fundamentally has bad citizens. Good citizens will never allow bad leadership all the time. The problem with Nigeria is all of us.

Before wetin dey feed us?

COOOOOORECT.
PLANLESSNESS CAN'T EITHER.
THE EXCLUSIVE LIST OF THE 1999 DECREE24 IS A TOWER OF BABEL AND COVID20 IN NIGERIA.
FULL AUTONOMY OF POLICING, RESOURCING AND ELECTIONEERING AUTHORITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES TO OUR 36 CONSTITUTIONAL STATES IS RESTRUCTURING AND RESTORATION VACCINE AND SOLUTION TO NIGERIA PROBLEM.

From orunto27.

This is why we thing politicians to change Nigeria from consumption to production

Jus negodu! The same man that brought the bloody Indian BOGEL to Kwale that underpays its staffs and contractors while punching holes across the length and breadth of the Niger-Delta is now the same one telling us oil can no longer feed Nigeria?!!!

Maybe if they paid their workers the standard international rates instead of paying you your own mouth-watering percentage it would then be enough to sustain Nigerians...jus dey talk woto-woto from every corner of your mouth dia!

Yes true. That's why Lagos State under Asiwaju thrived without dividends of Oil.

Babachukwu:
This is why we want Obi to change Nigeria from consumption to production

Why is Obi Next Supermarket not patronising Dangote Tomato Industry in Kano?

Everything in his supermarket are imported from Italy to China and India.

Nigerian doesn't need containers business man as President

By the way

Why is Obi planning to reduce import duty on consumable goods, the same goods that are produced in Nigeria?

Obi is a scam

legionISproteus:
Oil can feed Nigerians, our terrible leaders are too greedy to let the rest of the population benefit from oil.

Just look at the ridiculous retirement package governors, Deputy governors, the president, vice president etc signed for themselves after leaving office. This does not include what they misappropriated while in office, yet Mr. OBASANJO has the gall to say oil can not feed Nigeria.

Nigeria doesn't produce anywhere near enough oil for that to be true.

Babachukwu:
This is why we want Obi to change Nigeria from consumption to production

Nope
We want jagaban. He has been the one talking about farming. But all you lots do is to mock.

Are you minding the stupid Notherners. Their mate day rejoice say them discover things way go make them progress, them day fight other tribes because they want to spread islam and steal oil money.
People that do not know what they doing

*Spits*

lhordspy:
Same oil funds you and your vice atiku looted from endlessly.

Fighting publicly and privately over it.

Lol. Even with your so called corrupt Atiku, Obj did excellently well as President, something Buhari can onlg acheieve on his dreams.

Babachukwu:

Tell him to go change Anambra first. Just littering the space with your troll comments.

Babachukwu:
This is why we want Obi to change Nigeria from consumption to production

How many of the product he sells as a businessman is he producing in Nigeria, Obi is importing tomato paste to sell in Nigeria when we have enough tomato farm in the North, what stops him from having a factory in Nigeria that can produce tomato paste?

ElSudani:
Responsible and forward thinking leaders would have seen this forty years ago.
I would give it to ObJ and his crew for starting Ajaokuta and other steel mills in their attempt to industrialize Nigeria. But without uninterrupted supply of electricity industrialization was virtually impossible.

Who told you that Obasanjo started Ajaokuta steel? Obasanjo and his men stole Nigerian money using the revival of Ajaokuta as excuse just like they stole with the electricity that they never gave us. OBJ is on his own, as good as his point may looks, I think he is just trying to play down on the recent discovery of oil in the North. If you think I am wrong, why has he not give kudos to Buhari for the oil discovered, does it mean the discovery is entirely useless?

Which Nigerians? You will say oil cannot feed the political class again

adioolayi:
When we have it in abundance and it was the most sought after, the developed world got it from us used to power their industrialization process.

Other countries that also have it in abundance like us, made money and used it to transform their own economy too..

But us, it has been hunger and extreme poverty, devastating environmental effects on the oil producing areas...

It's not a function of Oil and Gas cannot feed us, it's a function of when it was feeding other Nations, our own leaders embezzled the then present and the future of Nigerians.....We never recover since then.

PDP..Never Again!

Your writeup is excellent but I disagree with the last part. Oil production did not start in 1999.

I still want a piece of my oil bloc !

Ogbeni stop generalizing & stop being theoretical. Many have died for this country thru bad leadership while trying to change things. Many have been mailed & injured for life as well. I don't know about you o but some if us have done the best that we could during very very dangerous time some of you were just spectators are cowards & traitors. Get that into your dead brain.

Good talk u see it all chairman brafia/oduduwa nation we need

post=118909731:
Since you lot have finished drinking it.

Each and any politicians that have stolen from our National treasury, and make life difficult for Nigerians, since independence, no matter the political party they are, they will never enjoy their stolen goods in good health and peace till the rest of their miserable lives.

For all the suffering people are going through in this nation, any looting and thieving politician, from past to present will not end well.

And this also goes to their supporters, nothing good will come their way in life.
No be curse,
Na FACT!

We Rise.



God bless you.
SO SHALL IT BE IN JESUS NAME.
INSHA ALLAH.

AMEN to your good prayer, as we can see such prayers being manifest in Bola Ahmed Tinubu a one time strong man in just 2019 now turned to a shadow of himself.



Looting and stealing public money is dangerous, as we Nigerians have now learned to curse all criminal leaders stealing and looting our commonwealth in the name of politics and governance.

I don't understand how some of you argue against facts. Yes, the contract to build Ajaokuta was signed by the military government of Obasanjo before Shagari came in.
Read, read and read, don't spend your data watching porn on the internet and then come online to argue like an illiterate.

But all osU ndigbo has left their villages to compete with tinubu in Lagos

Oil wey bring corruption.

The people in the oil sections are embezzling and draining the country's wealth dry. Oil shouldn't be excluded. Agriculture and oil should be included to boost and resurrect our dead and hopeless economy.

Obasanjo was developing many other sectors, he wasn't just looking at oil alone. Oil was quick money bt other sectors were long money if fully developing.

GEMCO AND DISCOS ARE FRAUD:
Sebi,we have been shouting this since - without 365 Days and 24/7 Lights,No Industrialization and as am writing,we only have one hour lights or at most 2-hours for 24-hours- Is that not fraud,yet,you bring bills, through their Phones to charge them for a Month ( 30-days)!
In Ghana, even Villages have Pre- paid Metres,so what is wrong with Nigeria?
Up till now ,Gemco and DISCOS are just feeding-fat on Nigeria,as nothing is being generated and nothing to transmit but are given Nigeria Darkness and charging Nigerians for darkness!
These fraudulent Institutions should be dissolved,as Nigeria State is worsen than the time of Independence! Every State should generate her Lights, without being a burden to other States!
OBJ cannot be complaining now because he had all his time to get Nigeria into a good pedestal but only him know how he got this Power Project wrong because on one hand, OBJ did a good job- by ensuring the Cancellation of Debt during his tenure but the same Debt, the emergency Politicians have accumulated again for the future unborn children to pay!
In another note, what stopped him from ensuring that $16-Billion Power Project made Nigerians to have Stable Lights but no headways and the same Alh. Atiku that was there on Privatisation Progect- is still asking for Votes from Nigerians, thereby making Nigerians to look Stupid! So, who is deceiving who?
GEJ on the other hand,made a very big tactical errors in the Lights- Implementation issues, by sidelining the Power Project Experts,thereby awarding DISCOS to inexperienced Nigerians,who had no bearing in Power- Light Project!
May be he was thinking of a comeback after the Elections! It was a bad decisions on his part.
Imagine,how Bank M/Ds - who had no experience at all,became Discos owners,when the General Electric from America was chased out of Nigeria! Corruption has built strong roots in Nigeria for a long time!
Our Leaders have mislead us,says the Scriptures!
If you think Nigerians, especially the Youths, are happy with Nigeria,then you are deceiving your self!
So,we are ALL in this mess,be it good or bad!
May Nigeria changed for the best!

Only irresponsible people put the blames of their misfortunes on others doorstep. Is it US and UK that sent your leaders to use Ajaokuta to steal money and kill the project?

The only problem with Obasanjo is that he would lay a good foundation but connive with others to ensure he got incompetent people who would make a mess of whatever legacy he left behind to succeed him. He vouched for Shagari, he left an ailing and almost dead Yar'Adua and when they were conniving to bring Buhari he made Nigerians believe he is the best for them. I wonder who he is routing for again now.

Black man no Dey ever talk something from altruism, the same corrupt elder still Dey chop from the oil Dey tell us nonsense , oil still Dey perform wonders for UAE , Qatar etc , why our own different , una still Dey steal am Dey tell us say oil can’t feed Nigeria , if judiciously used oil can change naija in 10 years !
