I repeat, Dangote's expansion will be of no benefit to ordinary Nigerians. The so-called richest man in Africa that transfers all the burden of dollar price increases directly to consumers is of no use to the ordinary Nigerian. He is only used to launder the money of the corrupt elite.

Go tell that to the TENS OF THOUSANDS of “ordinary Nigerians” with jobs because of it…

I find it hilarious when a black person caution another black person from being racist. Who do you think you are trying to impress, racism just means putting your people first before any body else and everyone practices it except Africans with their silly we are the world mentality

Exactly what part of “fvcking yellow chink” is putting your people first?
If a white person called you a “fvcking black ape” would you praise him for putting his people first?!

It’s a SAD SELF-INDICTMENT that you think that simply being a decent human-being is “trying to impress”…smh

And racism does NOT mean putting your people first…
It means active hatred and discrimination AGAINST others based on race.

Meanwhile, FYI, not all Africans are black…
Perhaps you should spend more time enlightening yourself and less time hating others! SMDH@ Ignorance!

Rest bro. There's nothing to emulate here.

Obviously, there are many Nigerians who believe that state governments should only be bothered with the welfare of indigenes. If there wasn’t such a narrow-minded mentality, this wouldn’t be news.

EmekaA125:
You're saying a different thing. The economic contribution of Igbo tribe can't be underestimated in Lagos and that's why it looks Lagos can't survive without Igbos. Joe Igbokwe is trying to please his afonja master in order to retain his position as SA on Drainage and Water Resources.

Not sure what you THOUGHT I was saying…
But it couldn’t have been clearer - Lagos appreciates ALL Nigerians, regardless of ethnicity.

Meanwhile, I believe (and added) that’s a GOOD thing that all other states should emulate.

flamingREED:
There are rules of engagement and acceptable methods of dismemberment.

While the students might have taken it too far, I feel whoever revealed the finding is just seeking for unnecessary attention.

To those quoting me, there's absolutely nothing wrong in going to greet the president. It's called decorum. It doesn't mean you're his fan. Remember Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego? They attended Nebuchadnezzar's meeting but held on to their convictions.

I'm fully in support of IPOB, ESN and MNK.
And my dot Nation. And BTW, the president didn't visit the East. Easy on me, brothers.

gbagyiza:
You said nothing but the truth. As long as the students r still studying in that school, they r bound to obey the rules n regulations in line with the oath they took during their matriculation. I am not a fan of Buhari but let us say the fact, the students disobeyed the school authority n at such they need to be disciplined.

There should NO rules mandating students to go welcome the president or any politician whatsoever…
It’s incredible that supposedly “educated” people think this is okay. It is completely UNRELATED to their being at school!

What next? It’s okay for them to be required to attend the next PDP convention? Or perhaps the next Emir’s coronation?
So if there’s a mandate for all students to attend Sunday church or Friday mosque prayers, they “need to be disciplined” if they refuse?!

EmekaA125:
Igbos are major stakeholders in Lagos, having investments running in the tune of billions of Naira. That's the point here

Irrelevant…

For example, the Lagos State Employment Trust Fund gives loans and grants to all RESIDENTS of Lagos, regardless of state of origin or ethnicity, and there’s no requirement for being a so-called “major stakeholder”. Lagos simply recognizes and rewards MERIT, and that’s a GOOD thing that all of Nigeria’s states (and ethnicities) would do well to emulate! It’s a concept known as Mutuality of Interests.

with schools going on strike? Teachers and lectures unpaid and underpaid? What about training and capacity development? Let me not even talk about facilities and equipment.

You can fool the uneducated, not me. Since when did a few billionaires equate development? What our income inequality. Where is the middle-class? What about Nigeria attaining the poverty capital of the world? What about Education, security and health systems? There are several indicators of development and Nigeria scores around zero in all.

you will not need all this pointless grammar if there was anything to show.

Keep shifting the goal-posts in classic STRAWMAN ARGUMENT…

Lest we forget what we were actually discussing before you set off in an IRRELEVANT rigmarole, I was SPECIFICALLY responding to your statement that the Dangote plant is “of no benefit to the common man”. When I pointed out that it would create TENS OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS that would “benefit the common man”, you deviated that some dude in Abuja can sit down and siphon billions of foreign reserve, to which I conceded but noted it still does not change the HUNDREDS OF JOBS created by this project that would “benefit the common man” (from the construction phase through the entire value chain). Then you started to shift the goal posts with substantive IRRELEVANCIES totally UNCONNECTED to the Dangote plant. Dude, I am not the economic adviser to the Nigerian government, and have absolutely no interest (nor desire) to defend how incredibly POORLY Nigeria has been mismanaged, but that still has NOTHING to do with the SPECIFIC “benefits to the common man” by this SPECIFIC project. Some of you need to learn NUANCED discourse. Few things are all-bad or all-good!

Ultimately, Nigeria’s condition is the culmination of the varying actions of ALL NIGERIANS, whether by commission or omission!

Nigeria gives you every reason to be fraudulent
After 25 years, all she got was a three bedroom apartment after bringing honor to her fathers land,that’s it they get to fulfill the promise. Same story for the man who designed the Nigerian flag. Upon consideration, how many young Nigerian would be willing to work wholeheartedly for a country that rewards first class graduate a package of 1500 naira while those who got engaged in a useless reality show keeps buying houses in the island and driving exotic cars.
I’ve come to the conclusion that to succeed in a country like Nigeria, one must involve in a bit of fraud in other to be financially okay, courtesy of our failed government

Abegi dial down the incessant wail-o-meter…

A state government decided to fulfill a broken promise made by the federal (military) government 25 years ago, and it is not even to a citizen of that state, but all you can do is wail instead. It seems some of you lack the capacity to alternatively commend or condemn.

PS: Btw, the fact that you elevate so-called “exotic cars” over a first-class degree/education is a SAD self-commentary. SMH

What has common man benefited so far from the trillions of oil revenue?

Keep shifting the goal posts…
But the “common man” (and woman btw) has benefited from geometric expansion of educational access from oil revenues.

Meanwhile, many of the so-called “elite” of today were the “common” folk of yesterday…
So many Nigerians born POOR (Razak Okoya, Cosmas Maduka, Pascal Dozie, etc.) became billionaires in this oil-fueled economy.

The “common man” does not benefit from simply SHARING money…
Best way to “benefit the common man” is invest in human capital (education) and EXPAND economic opportunities (such as these JOBS)!

laiperi:
You guys make very good points. Nobody can argue against self preservation. The first million a Nigerian makes is used the same way, laundered abroad.

However, if personal and selfish ends of the individual families are what matter most, no country will be built. China and India alone reduced world poverty by cutting the famine at home. The punishment for the self preservation you guys are talking about was up to and including death.

Before anyone label me a dictator, America and Europe built their wealth on Slave Labor worse than Dictator. Where are Russia, China and India today after paying the same price Nigerians paid for taking more than 100 pounds out of the country, firing squad or Bar Beach Show for armed robbers?

Compare the abject poverty we have today to what we had then.

Chief Harold Shodipo and FELA among others paid heavily. Today, even Buhari that jailed others then indulges in Medical tourism and money laundering under so called Free Market.

If you love the Western and Eastern systems so much, you are willing to launder money made in Africa in their countries like the slave traders that did the same; go to their countries and do slave labor BURU to make your money and invest it there.

The British stole so much Gold from Ghana, they named it Gold Coast. Even worse the companies paid taxes to their Government not Gold Coast.

Gold Standard is what prop up currencies not cheap raw materials. Those supporting Devaluation are naive. Americans ditch Gold Standard for printed papers by fiat without any Gold Standard.

Zimbabwe with Diamond tried the same! I rest my case sirs/ma'am's.

Have no idea what you are going on about…
That people who made legitimate money should be executed for seeking to preserve it abroad?

Why stop there? Execute all Nigerians who are emigrating abroad after benefiting from free/subsidized public education.
Dangote is making a $15 billion investment into the Nigerian economy but you want him executed for trying to preserve family wealth. SMH

Then, when a US federal court found him guilty for wrongful death in civil case, he refused to pay damages or return to the US.
