Dedetwo: There are no complementary industries in Nigeria. A country must have manufacturing industries with base material as steel its steel mill to be functional. .
Na lie. the construction industry requires steel. It is needed to build rails, bus terminals, ports, etc. You have no idea what you are talking about.
Why haven't "industrialists" like Dangote and Rabiu invest in steel production the same way they have gone into cement and agriculture? Steel is the most important ingredient for the industrialization of Africa. So what are the macro-economic or government factors preventing them from producing steel. Dangote owns an idle steel mill, but he is not producing.
Below is an image of the moribund Osogbo steel rolling mill which belongs to Dangote
We all know how common building collapse is in Nigeria, and this occurs because of our bad habit of building multi-storey buildings with concrete. In other parts of the world they are using steel, which is a far superior building material because it is lighter (doesn't put as much strain on the foundation) cheaper than Dangote cement, and requires less maintenance.
While steel needs to be imported, healthy demand would create a market incentive for domestic production. We need to start using creativity to solve our problem in Africa.
plaindealer: I den born you well, touch or kill one Fulani man or any Nigeria for that matter, I dare you. Just give us the excuse to wipe you out for good.
Tough talk. But your people will go extinct without the South to feed you.
I've been hearing a lot of talk about Nnamdi Kanu's Eastern Security Network, but where is the action? When will the combat start --- do they need help locating the enemy?
WoundedLamb: Dude, if you are not interested in the topic, just move on. Must y'all always be aggressive onhere? Why do you guys like to shout down other people? So if history is not about the empires you mentioned, it's no longer worth discussing at all? Are you not a Nairalander, why not create a thread about the empires you mentioned and let the OP discuss the one that interests him? Must you aggressively push your preferences down other people's throats?
Inferiority complex? So when Europeans discuss how the whites colonized Africa, it's not inferiority complex; but when Africans discuss how the Moors ruled southern Europe, you start shouting inferiority complex. Apparently, most of you guys that shout inferiority complex here don't even know anything about racial dichotomy. You guys are just so insecure in your own skin that everything appears as an attack to you. The OP is talking about a very controversial topic a lot of people don't know about (I'm pretty sure you don't know a thing about that subject too) and you're here shutting him down just to appear woke.
The moors where not Nigerian. This nonsense is created by people who are ashamed of their real identity as indigenous West Africans so they latch onto other civilization. It's pathetic and poisonous.
This is delusion. Who cares about Southern Europe? We have the Benin Empire, Bornu Empire, Sokoto Caliphate, etc. to be proud of. That fact that you want to leapfrog all our indigenous civilizations to talk about Southern Europe reeks of an inferiority complex.
nabiz: my problem with Nigeria is not the issue of president. I dont even have problem with Tinubu becoming a president. He is a Nigerian and can a president if the majority of Nigerians vote for him. If a black man can be a president in usa , why can a Nigerian be a president of his country. My problem is that Nigeria is structured in a way that will hinder ordinary man's progress. I love a United Nigeria more than biafra but as it is now, biafra seems the only hope. Nigeria can not Unite for a common purpose. Do u know that North did not protest during the end SARS because the felt that the end SARS was against their son. The same thing happened with good luck Jonathan. Everything tribalized in Nigeria
Exactly, a nation will never progress when it has two different heads. If the South goes left, the north will go right, etc. Dismantle nigeria.
EMMY76: I really wonder what is giving them the courage to be committing all these actrocities in Nigeria?
Easy. They think we are slave monkeys like the Hausa who will tolerate unbelievable oppression and disrespect in our own land. Are they correct? Maybe. We will see.
DMerciful: Are you Hausa or Fulani and you ran away in order not to answer. It is clear the Hausas have been conquered and ashamed to identify with themselves. Almost all Hausa politicians call themselves fulanis
Whereas the Fulani are proud to proclaim their ethnicity. Buhari was known to have identified himself as a Fulani from Daura without even being asked.
The Fulani have demonstrated that they are incapable of co-existing with other Nigerians without dominating and oppressing them. The first victim of this process are the Hasua, who have been reduced to slaves and vassals in their own fatherland. Next will be the Yoruba and perhaps even the Igbo, if the herdman invasion is not brought to heel.
The atrocities of the Fulani have reached a boiling point that might put their people at serious risk of genocide. I'm not encouraging this to happen, I'm just pointing out that is it a real possibility over the next 10-20 years, if they do not change their behavior.
Genocide tends to occur when a minority group attempts to oppress a much larger population. Image from 1994 Rwandan massacre of the Tutsi.
Kaduna1stson: Which stigma are you talking about? Do you know what sort of stigma your South west agbero brothers oozes on our political space? Is agberoism not terrorism?
Stop calling out the north.
Boko Haram was started by a governor in Borno state. Wetin kind nonsense country be dis?
People of the South, we have to break this country. Already they are putting Nigerians on travel restrictions and making travel more difficult because of the situation in the North. All this terrorism is also scaring away foreign direct investment. Yoruba, Edo, Igbo, put aside your differences, and work for your own nation states so we can all burn these filthy green passports.
CeterisXVII: Please what do you mean by Abuja and Ikoyi are slums? Do Parkview Estate, Bourdillon, Banana Island, Alexander Avenue etc in Ikoyi qualify to be called slums?
Do Maitama, Asokoro, Wuse, Gwarinpa etc in Abuja look like slums?
Abí, you don't know the meaning of the word slum??
Most of those areas don't even have an effective sewage or drainage system.
