Debaiz:
Result?

Dangote cement
Indomie noodles
Flour mills and dangote spaghetti
Chi vita, lacasera, bigi cola etc
Ajanla farms, chi farms and many more
Nigerian fashion industry(locally made cloths by tailors)
Eggs
GP plastics and tanks etc
Made in nigeria shoes
British American tobacco company
Nigerian made beers and alcoholic drinks
Nigerian made vegetable oils
Sugar made in nigeria(recently BUA group just completed and commissioned its $300m sugar factory in Kwara state)

If you were too young when nigeria was importing all those, then you should be asking those who were not rather than speaking on border closure.

seunfly:
100% cement self sufficient, reduction in sugar importation, 90% reduction in pasta importation, reduction in plastic importation, emcouragment of local poultry farmer etc.

You need to understand Obj's border closure had particular product in focus and it was 80% successful otherwise we will still be major cement importer, pasta, sugar, poultry importer by now. This administration also has a focus which is rice, I believe if we stick to it just like Obj's it will be successful like cement.

The most annoying things about Nigerian youth is that they are ready to wail, complain about policy that could benefit them and at the end somebody else or foreigner will finally take advantage of such.

Nigeria youth don't recognize opportunities when they see one especially if it is not free money, white collar's job, fraud, corruption etc, they always want food directly on their table but it is not so all over the world.

This was major reason why Obasanjo closed the border. This guy hired lots of criminal gangs to launch armed robbery raids into Lagos and steal cars which they brought back to Benin. The cars were then stripped, repainted, etc. and then resold to Nigerians.

There was a notorious part of Lagos that witnessed violent armed robberies at the end of every year. That place was quiet during Christmas/New Year 2003 and it was because of that border closure.

Nigerian crime kingpin held

Lagos - A suspected head of a cross-border criminal empire detained in Nigeria has been making some startling revelations that could help tackle crimes along Nigeria-Benin border, President Olusegun Obasanjo said on Saturday.

Amani Tidjani, a national of Niger, the alleged mastermind of a smuggling and robbery ring that operates between the two neighbouring countries has been making some "fantastic and unbelievable revelations" about cross-border crimes, Obasanjo said during a live interview on Radio Nigeria in Abuja.

Since the arrest, detention and interrogation of Tidjani, "cases of car-snatching and border crimes have drastically reduced" in Nigeria and along its border with Benin, he said in the interview.

Obasanjo did not give details of Tidjani's "revelations".

But Nigeria's oldest private newspaper, The Nigerian Tribune, reported on its front page on Saturday that the suspected robbery kingpin has implicated a lot of Nigerians and Beninese in his "revelations" during police interrogations.

"Tidjani is making very useful statements. Many people in this country and Benin have been implicated," inspector general of police, Tafa Balogun, told the newspaper.

The interview did not reveal the identities of those implicated by Tidjani.

Benin has returned 100 stolen "exotic" cars stolen from Nigeria, the Nigerian police said Friday in an official statement.

The return of these cars was part of an agreement on cross-border crimes reached at talks last August between Presidents Obasanjo and Mathieu Kerekou.

Tidjani has been at the centre of a recent diplomatic spat between Nigeria and Benin.

He was arrested on September 11 by police in Mali and extradited to Benin from where he was handed over to Nigeria last September 25.

He was arrested in Benin in July but was later released. Infuriated, Nigeria closed the two countries' common border on August 9.

The border was reopened a week later following the meeting between Kerekou and Obasanjo during which the two countries pledged greater co-operation in fighting bandits and smugglers who roam the border area.

I thought rape was sex without consent?

That definition, unchanged since 1927, was outdated and narrow. It only included forcible male penile penetration of a female vagina. The new definition is:

“The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.”

For the first time ever, the new definition includes any gender of victim and perpetrator, not just women being raped by men. It also recognizes that rape with an object can be as traumatic as penile/vaginal rape.

The Federal Government plans to spend N9.05bn on the purchase, maintenance and fuelling of generators across the Ministries, Departments and Agencies nationwide.

The government also earmarked a separate N75.4m for maintenance and fuelling of generators in some of its foreign missions abroad.

The details are contained in the 2020 budget proposal which was submitted to the National Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday.


Sunday PUNCH, however, reports that the sum to be spent on generators may be much higher as several agencies such as the Independent National Electoral Commission and the National Health Insurance Scheme which have offices nationwide, failed to provide a breakdown of their budgets.

The government has budgeted the sum despite claims that power had improved drastically.

The N9bn earmarked for generators by the Federal Government is more than the Internally Generated Revenue of Bauchi, Abia, Zamfara, Kogi, Anambra, Bayelsa, Jigawa, Ebonyi, Ekiti, Adamawa, Nasarawa, Katsina, Kebbi, Borno, Taraba, Yobe and Gombe states in the first and second quarters of 2019.


The agency of the government with the largest single budget for generators is the Nigerian Army which set aside N518.3m for fuelling of generators alone while no amount was earmarked for maintenance.

In the second position is the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission which is asking for N64.5m for maintenance, N166.6m for fuelling of the generators and N82.2m to purchase a new generator, a combined N313.4m.

The EFCC’s generator budget is 10 times higher than that of its sister agency, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, which budgeted N10m for generator maintenance and N24.2m as generator fuel cost (N34.2m)


Holding the third position is the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation which is asking for N255m to fuel its generators and another N27m to maintain the generators, a combined N283.7m.

The Nigeria Defence Academy comes fourth with a budget of N273.7m for maintenance of generators (N133.5m) and fuelling of the generators (N140.1m).

In fifth position is the Nigeria Police Force with a budget of N222.9m for maintenance and fuelling of its generators across its formations and commands in the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory while the Nigeria Police Force Academy, Wudil, seeks a separate N31.7m for the same purpose.


The Nigeria Correctional Service (formerly known as Nigeria Prisons Service) budgeted N214m for the fuelling and maintenance of its generators while its sister agency, the Nigeria Immigration Service, seeks N95m for the purchase of a new generator and a separate N109.1m for fuelling and maintenance of its existing generators- a total of N204m.

The Federal Ministry of Health and its agencies comprising 88 federal teaching hospitals, medical centres and agencies have the highest budget for generators at N1.5bn.


The ministry and its agencies budgeted N173.7m for generator maintenance and N1.1bn to fuel them while a separate N220.8m was earmarked for the purchase of new generators.

The University of Benin Teaching Hospital and University of Calabar Teaching Hospital planned separate procurements of one 500KVA generator each at N25m; Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi budgeted N20m for two 500KVA soundproof generators.

Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido Ekiti, allocated N20,844,821 for a 250KVA diesel generator; Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Irrua budgeted for a N30m generator; and Federal Psychiatric Hospital, Calabar pencilled N14.5m for “purchase and installation of generators.


The Federal Medical Centre, Kebbi State indicated the need for the procurement of two 500KVA generators and other items at N32m; Institute of Public Analysts of Nigeria also budgeted N3.5m for the purchase a generator for its laboratory; and the Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe allocated N50m for “generators and inverters.”

The Ministry of Education which oversees 197 federal secondary and tertiary institutions, departments and agencies has the second highest budget for generators.

The ministry and its agencies have earmarked a total of N366m for generator maintenance; about N806m to fuel the generators and another N104m to buy new generators, a combined N1.27bn.


The National Commission for College Education Secretariat budgeted N9.5m for the rehabilitation of a “generator plant”; International Centre for Biotechnology, University of Nigeria Nsukka, Enugu allocated N7.3m for a new 250KVA generator; and FGC Azare earmarked N20m for the procurement of a 200KVA generator.

Also, FGC Kwali is to spend N18.1m on the “purchase and installation” of a 250KVA generator; FGC Ido-Ani pencilled N22m for the purchase and installation of a 250KVA generator and 300KV transformer; FGGC Gboko budgeted N7.5m for the “supply and installation” of a 50KVA generator; and FGGC Shagamu allocated N20m for the procurement of a 250KVA generator.

He also closed the border when he was president.

In recent years, Nigerian officials have expressed concern at the huge volume of cargo traffic which has shifted from the port of Lagos, which is bedevilled by shipping delays, high port charges and corruption, to the more efficient port of Cotonou in Benin. From there, the goods are then trucked overland into Nigeria.

The bodies of at least 74 migrants have been washed ashore in western Libya, in the latest tragedy along the dangerous trafficking route to Europe. The Libyan Red Crescent posted photos of dozens of bodies in black and white bags lined up along the shore near the western city of Zawiya.
A spokesman for the aid organisation said there were still bodies floating out at sea as the agency had no way of retrieving them. He said the migrants were all adults, mostly from sub-Saharan African countries, and all but three were men.
The UN migration agency, the International Organisation of Migration (IOM), said the dinghy had set off on Saturday with 110 people on board. The agency said traffickers deliberately took the engines from the boat and then abandoned it to drift.

So, the reason the politicians don't function is because of the church that they gave all their money to(according to you)? If so, how are the politicians still lavishing the billions right under your nose when they gave it all to the churches (according to you)?

You hate churches and Christians, but understand the difference between the church and the government, and their respective responsibilities.

Tellemall:
Based on your first response, you have not understood anything. You simply want to bash churches, and I'm telling you that you're bashing them for things that don't even concern them, but rather your government.

If churches are lavishing money, so are your politicians. And your politicians are the ones who owe hungry people food and schools. That is their mandate.
