Xscape1993:
What a country blessed by God but rule by unserious people without economy knowledge!!!
The sad thing is that Governments in Nigeria treat Nigerian companies the same way and get away with it and think they can extend that treatment to China.

Glad we being taught.


I found an example!

The firm said the state violated a 2001 trade treaty between Nigeria and China
I looked up this trade treaty agreement and found the pdf at the link below.

It reads like the sort of agreement our forefathers might have thumb printed without fully understanding the consequences and that made them sign us over as slaves.

Do you know that Europeans themselves inseminated black women and sold their own children as slaves too?

I'm here seeking help for a friend's family and you're talking about encouraging people into kidnápping.

Pray it doesn't happen to you or someone close by.
Tell me, how much have you given your friend and their family?

If it happens to me or someone close, can I rely on you to help?

To be honest, perhaps you shouldn't post here in the first place so no one needs to quote to educate you.

You tell me? Is it reasonable for you to assume that I am not black and do not hold black people in high esteem?

Black people who hold themselves in high esteem do not yell racism because white people do not validate them in selfies they did not inform the white people they were taking.

And people who assume are asses.

These happened to a close colleague's brother and he shared in our Whatsapp group soliciting for help.

Please nairalanders, help the family in the little way you can. God bless you.
Now makes better sense. He shared it with those he's close to and you figured you'd share it here.

Paying ransome encourages kidnappers, and is a payment only those close to the person would pay, is my opinion.

Hopefully, others think different, and will help.

So, he didn't tell them to "look up, I'm taking selfie", and they just went on enjoying themselves doing what they were doing.

Yes, the black man is indeed racist, and those white people will stop being his friend when they see his post.

Evil is the sort of hatred you repeatedly create threads to promote, and if the stupid ignorance you promote is what Christianity is (it isn't!), then I'm glad I'm not a Christian like you.

Unless you are asking us to just take your word for it and believe you, we can't have an opinion until that photo has emerged here.

We, being those with brains of course, as I can't speak for the brainless.

Do u expect him to stop living and work just because his father is a president?

If all due processes are followed and his firm can handle the project, should they deny him of it just because his father is a president?

kedeojo:
Don't mind him, they always see fault. Why did our local engineers over the years not fix it. Russia engineers built it and it is logical for them to fix it and also in the process further train our engineers. That is how Dangote is doing currently in his refinery. He don't want to praise the effort of the government to resuscitate the steel company. Enemies of Nigeria.
Every year, there's an item in the local government budget of the Orolu Kingdom for the tarring of Janta-Jamodo, except there's no road in the Orolu Kingdom called Janta-Jamodo.

There's Palace Road that does go between Janta and Jamodo but that's not the road, they'd tell you, since Palace Road is already tarred and doesn't need retarring except when it does and is budgeted for separately. Janta-Jamodo however does need tarring, and is budgeted for every year and the contract is awarded and paid for.

We would want to praise the effort of the Orolu Local government for the continued annual tarring of Janta-Jamodo, but attempts to find out who the contract was awarded to is as elusive as the elusive Janta-Jamodo they claim was tarred, annually.
Food › Re: Why No One Is Talking About The Nigeria Food Sellers. The Wickedness Is Too Much by budaatum: 2:06pm On Aug 20, 2024
Now please write the "wickedness of farmers" who jack up the price of the food they grow.

And after that, write about the wickedness of the transporter of the farmers produce who charge more to transport the food.

And don't forget please to write about the wickedness of the petrol seller who jacks up petrol price for the transporter.

And also the local government who jacks up local tax for the foodseller in the name of IGR.

And consider the rain gods who have been skimpy with heavenly water lately!

I could go on and on here, but please write about just these few first, so we can all be angry at the food seller for not subsidising your daily bread like NNPC claims they aren't.

Oh! And perhaps after all that, mind your tribalism! angry

Or perhaps we might some day educate ourselves and learn to stop making the same stupid mistake.

In 2002, the Nigerian government under Olusegun Obasanjo concessioned the project to Japanese Kobe Steel in an attempt at revitalization, however without much success. In 2004, the project was again transferred, this time to Ispat Industries. The deal was financed by Global Infrastructure Holdings Limited (GIHL) (now Global Steel Holdings Limited, GSHL), which is chaired by Indian steel magnate Pramod Mittal. The concession ended in 2008 after the government accused GIHL of asset-stripping. GIHL then sued Nigeria at International Chamber of Commerce.[6] The dispute was initially resolved in 2016, with Nigeria regaining control of the Ajaokuta Steel Mill in exchange for GIHL retaining the Nigerian Iron Ore Mining Company (NIOMCO) operating at Itakpe.[7][8] In 2022, the Nigerian government paid $496 million to GSHL to settle the claims.[9]
