FROM AN EMPTY TREASURY!!!

The dude is a magician.

Sometimes I wish my bank account is "virtually empty" like Nigeria's.

My N100 says this news is fake. Anyone want to take me up on it?

bro, every african country that china has done business with is benefiting hugely. of course they have to corner your natural resources as payment. its not like you know what to do with it lmao. listen, china is the manufacturing house of the world and they have to corner the resources of the world to do the manufacturing. all your technology and phones in nigeria, where is it made ? china. trust me, china is the best. since we have allied with china we have been dragged out of the dark ages into the technology world. when we partnered with the west we were still in the stone ages. they did nothing to help us

Lol. Is it the lure of Chinese phones that is informing your argument? The West, especially the US, is still a veritable powerhouse in science, information technology and military areas, we stand to lose a lot by shunning them.

One quick question, how many countries have relied on the Chinese successfully in times of conflict in recent memory? The Chinese are all about their business so good luck to you if you think you can involve them in fighting against the likes of Boko haram.

Nigeria should not shun the West in favour of the East, we should court them both with our interests always in view.

i dont think you understand where that fellow is coming from. when china and russia do business with you they dont care about your domestic situation at home. but the usa want you to accept homosexuality, want you to accept gays into your military, want you to denounce men having many wives, want you to accept their vaccinations etc etc. stuff that dont even make sense and is totally unrelated to your business

Social media is over playing this gay thing. They all make it seem as though the US is bent on strong-arming Nigeria into decriminalising homosexuality. The US is allies and does business with Saudi Arabia & Kuwait - the US gives military aid to Egypt yearly to the tune of a billion dollars - have they forced any of those countries to accept homosexuality?

There are far more important things at stake than that.

In calling for Nigeria to look East to the Chinese I hope you know the Chinese have their own agenda which usually involves cornering a large amount of your natural resources too. They also operate on what many will call lower standards when it comes to human rights thats why there is the apparent disinterest in your domestic affairs. But all of that is feigned and only apparent, they will make incursions as soon as a benefit for them arises. Again like I said go and study the relations of several south east Asian countries like Singapore, Cambodia, Thailand or Taiwan with China and you will see evidence of this.

This is a very big embarrassment to our president and nigeria top officials paying visit to America. till now me never even see any high profile that have pay any visit to our dear leader.

America is insulting our government, even if it is not yet time to communicate with obama, atleast there suppose to be somebody like the current american secretary if state or their VP to welcome america.

Even at his arrival in USA soil, no top official of america was there to welcome him there, for instance if na china presido or Russia presido or why other european presido which our country rich pass, u for see obama or any other top official of their govrnment welcoming the person to usa soil.

For god sake we be giant of Africa and this people just d carry people wey we no know for their government dey pay homage to our presido.

Na BIG INSULT BE THIS

What do you propose we do about this "insult". Nuke them?

omisakint:
You don't get my point... China and Russia will trade with you without intruding into your domestic affairs.. USA will intrude by telling you what should be done before any deal is reached

You are obviously unaware of China's meddlesome interference in the affairs of east Asian countries, or Russia's in eastern Europe.
There is no country on the face of this Earth that does not put its interests first when dealing with others, all of them do it including the US, UK, China and Russia.

Big fat lie. Is the US going to pay the crew of the NAF that flew the presidential jet, or refuel the plane for free? What about the allowance or estacode for the Nigerian delegates, will the US pay that too?

omisakint:
We can get good arms deal from Russia... And technology exchange without having any strings attached. But USA won't give us any of the above without any strings attached to it..

That's true. Russia is the global Santa Claus with a propensity to hand out state of the art weaponry without asking for anything in return. They are so generous in their dealings that they even give fat discounts on any purchase, that is if they don't sell it for free.

Nairalanders can believe anything. SMH

simeonii:
I swear I love nairaland.....Voluntary individuals acting as DSS CIA NIA lalasticlala pls its Sunday

But I think everyone should be worried on the level of propaganda in this country.....honestly we don't know what to believe anymore

@simeonii_1

It is left for the individual who doesn't want to drown in the sea of misinformation that is the Nigerian media to verify the news he comes across.

The simple heuristic is this: Read then verify. (Don't jump on the bandwagon just because it suits a particular party's narrative)

This is the season of lies and untruths.

The impression one is getting from all this is that visiting the US alone is some kind of achievement.

What is the route of the PH monorail? Anyone know?

A comment I saw on the YouTube trailer.

Mexicans love superman because he is an illegal alien.

jerflakes:
Nyesom Wike is the king of the south.

I don't think so. It's King Alfred Diette-Spiff, he is the real king of the south.

Anybody know when Ray Donovan airs? When will the episode 2 of season 3 be released?

ROSSIKE:
Fantastic concept. Well done. But why the imitation of the 'Burger King' name? If you want to be original, be original. You don't need to copy any western crap for your thing to make sense.

How are you able to deduce that Bólé King is an imitation of Burger King? The menu is indigenous and the design of the eatery itself has a strong indigenous flair.

That's my song of the week. I've fallen in love with Dej Loaf's voice.

banito1:
Why allow petty rivalries to keep the nation at a standstill? Since you didn't trust the guy why not relieve him of his duties? Besides something as petty as this could never be the reason for the delay.

+100

So Buhari refused to release the list of ministers because the former DSS boss would see it? Silly article.
