Peter Obi wants to rid the country of henious crimes or at least reduce the rate to the barest minimum. But you guys would rather have a criminal as president, thereby stoking an already inflamed situation.

Before Obi can be taken seriously as a leader, he needs to demonstrate his ability to effectively address the heinous crimes plaguing the South East. At a minimum, he should strive to significantly reduce the crime rate in the region to prove his commitment and capability.

Peace

A Nigerian politician will help you solve your problems he created for you? They think and reason before you type things here it's really embarrassing. You have sound technocrats but would rather prefer unscrupulous politicians.

I don't understand your thought process, but you really need to improve. I mentioned that Nigeria's oil industry, including its companies and workers, is highly politicized. You asked if a politician serves as my benchmark, to which I retort: who is your benchmark, then? You suggested technocrats, but can they effectively navigate the politics in our oil industry? Dangote understands these dynamics and is engaging with them accordingly. If you don't comprehend what's happening, it's better to read and move on instead of engaging in discussions without adequate knowledge. By the way, I dislike conversing with immature individuals who quickly resort to insults when encountering differing opinions. Nonetheless, I appreciate your time.

Shalom!

So Ndume is your benchmark for sound intelligent reasoning? Ndume that has always been a "career politician" without any meaningful impact on Nigerians. You need help seriously.

Who serves as your benchmark, then? Nigeria's oil industry, including its companies and workers, is highly politicized. In such a complex environment, who is better equipped to decipher potential treachery than a politician? By the way, I made this comment before seeing Ndume's statement, simply trying to remind you and others that not everyone who claims to be protecting you genuinely cares.

Peace!

There's been light in my house since morning, just say your area doesn't have it

Me too. It seems we're in another country Ooo, because Nigeria electricity supply has fallen as oil Unions went on strike.

What are you even saying? Pls, don't embarrass your education publicly. Haba!

Ndume is of the same view too, stating that PENGASSAN "serves private interest rather than the public good." You may go and insult him too, since anyone who doesn't share the same opinion with you is either an ignorant person or embarrassing his education.

Shell, Chevron and the rest that allowed their members to join are they dead now. What is Dangote afraid of? A big refinery like that should be under supervision otherwise they will frustrate workers as they have done to many already.
My small company pays more than Dangote pays most of his Nigeria staffs.

You're very funny. Everybody dey claim big man for Nairaland, even person wey never chop. Since your pay is good, I suggest you build your own refinery and allow all your employees to become members of PENGASSAN.

Rest in peace, but I can't help but wonder if someone might have taken a page from Putin's playbook. The circumstances surrounding his death appear suspicious.

When you guys always say PENGASSAN should build her own refinery I just wonder the level of ignorant people like you are. Is PENGASSAN not a combination of all the oil companies in Nigeria. NNPC, Shell, Chevron, Mobil, Total, NLNG etc. the staffs of all those companies made up PENGASSAN. Then which one is that they should build their own refinery.

Given your disagreement with the idea that PENGASSAN should construct its own refinery, you might consider an alternative course of action: building your own refinery and allowing all your employees to become members of PENGASSAN. What do you think?

For a productive dialogue, it's important to fully read and comprehend the statements made by others, rather than resorting to insults. I'm aware of ASUU's full meaning, but my previous comment referred to their claims of protecting students. While the name of a union may hold significance, the claims they make regarding their actions are more important.

ASUU, while fighting for their own interests, also professed to be advocating for students. It's essential to know that many unions may have ulterior motives despite their professed objectives. This understanding requires an open-minded and multi-perspective approach, rather than a myopic viewpoint. Don't be offended if I choose not to reply to your next quote. Engaging with a subjective individual like you may not yield a fruitful conversation. Nevertheless, I appreciate the time you have invested in this discussion.

Peace!

I am speechless, speechless, that's how you make me feel...

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Is ASUU as a Union formed by students?

Is it to protect Nigerian students?

Who really cursed us with ignorance?[/color]

Was the union established by Dangote's workers or by external influences? The situation mirrors that of ASUU, which once claimed to be fighting for the rights of Nigerian students, similar to these external forces professing to advocate for Dangote's workers.

Peace!

izzou:
[color=royalblue]A large number of Nigerians are very ignorant.

Someone is protecting the staff, they are complaining.

I never see these kind of daftness before.[/color]

You're right. Just as ASUU is protecting students while extending their graduation by two to three years. PENGASSAN is presenting itself as advocating for workers' rights, whereas their real motivation is frustration over Dangote's efforts in combating corruption, which has closed off avenues for their own dishonest practices.

Peace!

Na wah Ooo! Is it no longer possible for a wealthy individual to build a refinery in Nigeria without encountering obstacles? PENGASSAN should refrain from causing Dangote to regret constructing this refinery in Nigeria. If they believe his actions were unjust, they should take it upon themselves to build a refinery and provide employment for those who were terminated. PENGASSAN appears to be merely advocating for their own interests, exploiting the situation of the terminated workers as a front to disguise their true intentions.

Peace!

frog12:
people like you have tongues. now you dey support dangote after all the lies about the termination.

Na me lie about the termination?
Dangote is only battling his adversaries fiercely to protect his refinery from their control. It is apparent how these deceitful individuals are trying to take advantage of the Dangote Refinery's launch for their own gain.

Zico5:
This is Nigeria for you. How can you sack a whole 800 workers. So there is no law protecting workers in Nigeria. I saw same people defending Dangote. Can they ever support such if they are victims. Trade union and NLC are there to protect workers against exploitation and wicked acts of the management.

Dangote's decision to terminate the employment of these individuals is justified, as certain deceitful elements aim to manipulate union membership to assert control over the Dangote Refinery. By ensuring that more than half of Dangote's workforce consists of union members, these individuals could potentially use this leverage against Dangote himself, putting him at risk of facing mass strikes in response to union demands. The dismissal of 800 workers who joined the union serves as a preemptive measure to prevent this potential power imbalance from occurring.

Peace!

The fact that he is popular with that type of frog voice is unbelievable. How come? We have lots of very good artist that sings far better but they don't make it to the top. No be juju be that

Achieving success in the music industry is not solely dependent on possessing a great voice. One critical factor is understanding how to effectively utilize one's unique vocal qualities. Davido exemplifies this by skillfully employing his so-called frog-like voice, which has propelled him to international fame. He is not alone; Bryan Adams, known for the song "Please Forgive Me," has also achieved global success with a similar type of voice.

The philosopher Socrates once said, "Know thyself." By understanding your strengths and weaknesses, you can determine the most suitable musical genres and styles for your specific voice type. Many of Davido's hit songs can be attributed to his expert use of his unique voice, which resonates well with audiences. The ability to harness your potential and God-given vocal talent is, in itself, a remarkable skill. With the right support from your family and loved ones, can your own voice take you as far as Davido's has taken him?


Peace!

Obi married his wife when she was 17 years old.

What distinguishes a 16-year-old from a 17-year-old? Hypocrites (Obidients) refused to criticize Obi, they perceive him as a flawless, saint-like figure who is above reproach. 😂

cucumbar:
unforunately, that’s not the reality.

Will you face the truth in shame, knowing that your alpha and omega has destroyed Nigeria?

President Bola Tinubu is striving to revive Nigeria's economy through a series of bold reforms and initiatives. His efforts are akin to those of Governor Soludo, who is working tirelessly to restore Anambra State following its decline under Peter Obi's administration.

If Forbes had reported that the Nigerian Naira is among the top 10 strongest currencies in Africa, you would probably be shedding tears in your closet by now. 😂

Kajaard:
These are the kind of people holding public offices. I can bet you most of your government officials are illiterate like this.

Shame and very sad

It appears that your definition of "illiteracy" might be limited to the lack of proficiency in English, which is a common misconception. This narrow perspective contributes to the problem in Nigeria where employers often prioritize English proficiency over industry-relevant skills. As a result, the country produces graduates who excel in English but lack marketable skills, contributing to a workforce with limited value. It is important to recognize that the individual being mocked could potentially possess greater skills and qualifications than those judging him based solely on his English proficiency.

Peace!

The choice of language for the query may be suboptimal, but it's essential to recognize that industry-relevant skills hold greater value than merely possessing proficiency in English. In order to ensure clarity and effective communication, it would have been more appropriate for the writer to compose the query in Yoruba, a language that both parties likely understand and use comfortably.

Peace!

MrIcredible:
Nigerian governors are the biggest cause of this country's backwardness. Most of them are just very evil, corrupt and USELESS

The responsibility for Nigeria's backwardness lies predominantly with our governors, accounting for approximately 90% of the problem. Despite this fact, we shift the blame onto the president rather than hold governors accountable for their role in the nation's stagnation.

They are not Europeans but Jews, Jews are Jews wherever they find themselves. You guys are looking for a way erase their being Jews. The Israeli govt has made it clear that Jews wherever they are all over the world can return home to Nation of Israel.
The Jews will never throw away their identity and pick the identity of their oppressors.
The Israeli govt has never distanced Jews from other parts. Be it Arab Jews, Ethiopian Jews, Russian Jews they are welcome to settle in Israel.
But Jews they are, not Europeans.

It appears that our conversation is unproductive due to your comprehension issues. As a condition for further engagement, please demonstrate your understanding of the difference between 'tribe' and 'nationality.' If you fail to define these terms or provide inaccurate definitions, I may not respond to your next quote. I appreciate your time and hope that, should we continue our discussion, it will be more fruitful.

Peace!

Onlinetutor7:
If the returnees from europe to Jerusalem in 1948 were Europeans and not Jews how come the Europeans under Nazi killed 6 million of the said Jews between 1941 to 1945.

From 1935 there was heightened segregation of Jews in Europe. They were then placed into ghetto camps. Their identity was thoroughly verified.

They now murdered a huge number of them from 1941 to 1945.

Those who survived and found their way back to Jerusalem, you now want to call them Europeans, same Europeans that identified them as jew, said they were not part of them, killed them and chased them away.

What surprises me about you is that you speak good English, yet still struggle with comprehension. In my previous comment, when I referred to Palestinians who share Jewish ancestry, I simply called them "Palestinians". In the same way, Jews living in East and North Africa are still Africans, even if they have Jewish ancestry. European Jews remain "Europeans", regardless of whether Europe fully accepts them—just as African Americans are Americans, despite the discrimination and persecution they have faced because of their long history and citizenship in America.

My primary focus was Jewish DNA, not Jewish persecution. I only referred to persecution indirectly when I mentioned, “there have always been Arab Jews (Arabs with Jewish ancestry) living among other Arabs, some of whom were Muslims before relocating to Israel.” I did not specify the reasons for their relocation because that was not the focus. The main reason, however, was persecution of Jews in Arabia. Just as Jews have also faced persecution in Europe.

What you seem to overlook is that being Jewish refers to a tribe, and this tribe can be found in any country or continent their ancestors migrated to, identifying as citizens of that country or continent. For example, there are Igbos in the Caribbean—is that enough reason for them to claim a right to establish an Igbo kingdom in Igboland alongside those with Igbo ancestry living there, simply because they faced persecution in the Caribbean? Likewise, the presence of Yorubas in South America (such as Brazil) does not make them Nigerians just because of their Nigerian ancestry. Nationality is defined by the country one comes from, not by tribe alone.

Therefore, European Jews are "Europeans"; they are not superior to their Jewish counterparts in Arabia or Africa. Jews in Arabia are Arabs, those in Palestine are Palestinians and those in Africa are Africans. I hope this explanation matches your level of understanding.

Where are the People of the Manufactured & Invented Nation, who wail around and claim the Land of GOD'S COVENANT People and Nation?

These coins date back 1,600 years to the Gallus Revolt (351–352 CE), the last Jewish revolt against Roman rule.

Everywhere you look in ISRAEL, you see Historical roots and Clear Evidence of the Jews and their GOD given land.

Hoaxen:
But......but...... but....... Muslim propagandists claimers say that the original Jews forgot their language and their culture and became Muslims(Palestinians) while white Europeans abandoned their European culture and their religions to become Jews(Israelis). 🤡🤡🤡

Make this make sense.

You're revealing your ignorance here. If you search "Palestinian DNA" on Google, you'll find that a significant portion of Palestinians share Jewish ancestry. Early Jews intermarried with local Palestinians and assimilated with them over time. This is similar to how the Hausa and Fulani people intermarried—Hausa people often retain their own identity rather than adopting Fulani identity, but genetic tests show considerable Fulani DNA among Hausas. Likewise, many of those fighting Palestinians today are not more "Jewish" than the Palestinians themselves; they are mainly European-descended groups who returned to what they regard as their ancestral land. When they arrived, they encountered Palestinians (many with Jewish ancestry), purchased some land from them in the 1940s, and have since expanded it into the modern state of Israel—now aiming to claim all of the land from hosts who are often just as connected, genetically, to that history. This is much more about land and power grabbing than religion.

Imagine two groups with the same Hausa-Fulani DNA fighting: one lives on Fulani ancestral land, the other arrives from elsewhere seeking to take a portion, and the support they receive has more to do with religion than history or ancestry. Too many people—like you—frame this conflict as solely religious, since most Palestinians, influenced by Arab culture, are Muslims. They overlook the fact that there have always been Arab Jews (Arabs with Jewish ancestry) living among other Arabs, some of whom were Muslims before relocating to Israel. This is why Israel actually has a larger Muslim population than Christian.

The truth is, you're approaching this with religious bias: Europeans with Jewish ancestry are fighting and killing Palestinians who also have similar ancestry, and you're cheering for these Europeans (who, ironically, are not even mostly Christians) while quoting religious texts to justify a conflict that is really just people with shared roots fighting each other.

Gradually, people are recognizing the true nature of Israel's actions. Many countries are distancing themselves from Israel due to its perpetuation of genocide against Palestinians. Dwelling on the past and referencing historical events that lack relevance to the topic at hand does not contribute to a constructive conversation.
