We've over analyzed enough already. WHAT'S THE SOLUTION/WAY FORWARD?

we are truly poor. yes.

yet you're still missing the issue.

the point is Pareto already analyzed that this 10% owns 90% of the country's wealth put together and they thrive in cash!!!

Hmmm
typical NL with misinformation, tribal slurs ...

I appreciate those who thought about setting up similar plant - keep asking leading questions.

if you remember Adeshina started a rice plan under GEJ.
smart biz men like Coscharis keyed in way back 2016 and GOT CBN LOANS TO BUILD WHAT YOU'RE SEEING TODAY.

stop the chest beating (it's not about being super smart or rich. Dangote; flour mill Nigeria' Sunti sugar alone got N26b for their sugar factory etc.)
when you see these big boys in agric, they mostly have govt heads up)

take a moment to research what you can get from the CBN government too.
point is these guys know what's available and grab before others making them look like super champions that they really aren't.

who else noticed the serious contrast between the bride and the women surrounding her...do these guys take care of their own differently (separately)?

1. The donor agencies were specifically given brief to focus on the destruction in the north

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/245992-buhari-asked-us-to-focus-on-northern-nigeria-world-bank-chief.html

2. Tony is just a smart guy deceiving Nigerians with this foundation. What's his commitment of the $100m (over 10 years) yet...ever wondered how much exactly of his funds he has put into it?
He is just using the entreprenuers to market his idea while collecting funds from UN & co.

Hmmmn
These guys are interesting...a gubernatorial candidate was to be tried or investigated for the fact that he can only be 5 years old at graduation going by the certificate he presented. Reality is, the family bears same name and use a single certificate (they reason why pay government any extra as fees)

Were the victim's families helped in any way?

I still don't agree with the subsidy storyline!

NNPC IS JUST A CORRUPTION cesspool - recall the subsidy probe...?

You claim no profit for the sellers/importers ; but the pricing template quotes margins for everyone, even bankers (financing costs).
The bridging or transport cost is allocated but we all pay our truck drivers before loading at Apapa, and pls show me how many people gets refunded.

Recall the probe and top executives fumbling on answering questions like how many liters in a barrel; how much of each refined products should come from the barrel; what happened to other products in the crude swap; HOW MUCH IS REALLY NEEDED TO REFINE, yet NNPC WOULD QUOTE HIGHER spot prices as landing cost (with N13-21 margins) and we believe them.

Ask why NNPC engages in SPOT BUYING (and always quoting spot prices as landing costs!) when they have their subsidiary - Duke Oil, to do far lower hedged futures/options pricing?

Ask why NNPC refuses to TRULY liberalize/deregulate licensing - only those ready to go with their lies on landing costs are given licenses!

What NNPC has spent asTAM on refineries is more than Dangote is spending to build a new one.

I followed your link on opera news... Filled a form; till now no response! I am not convinced I will get support when the equipment has issues....

Still why not support the guy?
I would buy his product

What constitutes the 70% - claim is doubtful...without steel & working refineries in Nigeria.
wikipedia is not such good authority - as you can write whatever you want or like there yourself.

The design & IP rights coming from the original companies in the analogy is overlooked.
Apple would not keep going with only outsourcing without competence in product design, marketing etc.

Are we investing in lands or hostels?
You mentioned good returns... Any specific figure(s)? Duration?

Good points @asksteve & tactius

My grouse is what equipment have these DISCOs actually bought? Which new transmission line? Yes, I know some GENCOs did buy stuffs.
After the privatization, the companies involved didn't keep to the terms of investment agreements or bringing in technical partners. They mostly have what they inherited from PHCN.
They couldn't invest in meters till date...

why do they keep bothering us with lies

Yes the big boys bought over priced lemons from FG and they should deal with it

They are ruled by GREED. And they are beastly in nature.
Fela called them beasts of no nation & some said & tot he was the mad man. But no, he's proven right now.

They derive joy seeing needless waste of time to traffic jams; accidents ; losses to mechanics in fact general stress to us.


See list of FG approved road rehabilitation projects blw. https://www.nairaland.com/5169717/fg-approves-contracts-construction-rehabilitation/1#78127811

Question is how much a new road if 4km needs almost N2b and 12 months to complete just rehabilitation?

Am wondering how we can have needed infrastructure if we keep doing projects at this rates - 4km road REPAIRS NOT FRESH CONSTRUCTION O @ almost N2b.
How much will constructing new roads be if we are REHABILITATING at these ridiculous figures/rates?
We can never develop as a nation with this leadership template !!

Check the link below to see how much a reasonable organization (Winners) wanted to repair Ota road & government' cost for the same project...

https://www.nairaland.com/5170008/how-ogun-state-prevents-winners

To think we are just suffering needlessly!
Dis tin dey really painn o.

Does anyone here know the scope & justifications for these projects?
Pls share (even if offline)
Something tells me we cannot be building 4km roads @ N1. 9b and have enough for other infrastructures. What happens to local materials & content na!!

This is something the western world fails to realize. Am v sorry for them pushing freedom to folks that will never reciprocate!
I mean, how do you come into a place (say France/UK) that you know have their history as Christians; demand rights to worship & be given, then turn around and deny such rights to atheist, other religions and what not.
Their eyes will soon clear

zoedew:
Talk! Truth is, Islam takes no prisoners! Islam is an “either or” proposition! If Islam comes into your space simply keep your distance and maintain your space. It has no respect for freedom of Worship and will take it away from you if you fail to maintain your space! That is what taqqiya is all about!!

Thank you OP for making an avenue to comment without being gagged by some FORCED declarations like you have in the parallel thread on same topic.

Sabaru21:
dont judge Islam by the action of some illetrate Muslims.
There is no way islam will support that.

This is not personal attack, only something has got me wondering about you the elites Muslims.

Can we judge by the actions, non - actions or silence of you the literate Muslims?

Pls Google real evidence of attacks and killings based on the above Islam linked practice/law.

We as individuals are to change all these.
What do you make of elites/leaders making these laws, what's your stand on such retrogressive laws or way out after?
ONLY DON'T DENY THE LAW APPLIES ONLY TO MUSLIMS

The elites, of all religious inclinations are the problems of this country

.

So, going forward what should a new government do?
Allow the padi padi deals slide (under agreement is agreement?) Review and adjust ?
Or simply allow anyone build his/her own sef.
Keep in mind how the same government involved handled bakassi

Let's stop personal attacks.
Facts are
1. MM2 is better managed.
2. The guys exacted an agreement that puts the country at a disadvantage from our dull thinking leaders (still doing same with Chinese now)
3. Those guys truly struggled to raise funds because of their credibility issues (agreements terms & personal)
4. These are the elite crooks shouting that government has no biz in biz, whereas they can only thrive on government created monopolies not real open competition.

This was a marriage between Mr. Crazy & Miss Longthroat.

How come most here have forgotten Femi Falana (SAN) had to rescue this woman from years of incarceration & forced treatment in the government house ; she was on channels TV debunking claims of mental illness brought up by her husband (so much for a fake marriage)

Google is there

https://www.pulse.ng/for-the-record-enugu-state-governors-wife-apologizes-over-marriage-troubles/y31k873

the husband was truly a sadistic sick abuser & Her illness could not be confirmed while the bigger question was why treatment only in the government house & not a proper hospital.


It's long due they were separated.
Let those will learn pls learn.

We put up with so much poor (read terrible) services from these government agencies... With the official & unofficial money collected they can't do bulk SMS or emails to notify?

What are SERVICOM's staffers been paid salaries & pensions after useless service for?
Why is it not scrapped as a drain on tax payers money?

When are we as a serious people going to control access (tru reasonable legitimate means) to this sniper sef?

SERVICOM!!
With what we have in immigration, licensing offices, in fact every govt offices ;
How many erring civil servants have they arrested?

They should be scrapped to stop wasting tax payers money already

SERVICOM!!

Hmmmn
The fact is that they have steadily been removing this subsidy, what happened to the promised gains we were told would result from the process?

What's the real truth ABOUT FG & NNPC on silly spot prices against contracted buying from refineries and landing cost with profit/margin buffers that no trader gets?!

1. Most people don't realize the amount of money being voted to the NE of Nigeria. The FG has told her donor agencies that is where it needs rebuilt..

2. Let's see the hostels and lecture halls/classrooms of the referenced sch here....
I was opportuned to be in Damaturu when a former sch was upgraded with N2b.
Only the senate building and VC's personal residence became new modern facilities with the whole funds FG provided after 5years of getting the funds. The rest remained the same old secondary sch structures !!!

Textbooks & economic rates talks and solutions again!
Pls how did rebasing & claiming Nigeria is the biggest economy help the common man?

The issue is that THE LEADERS can't drive the public towards productivity

All claims towards infrastructures are useless as long as we do projects at the rates government does it without local content -
eg why should a minister ever try to resurface Abuja airport for N6b!!?
Why would Agric minister say cashew processing machines is $2m when you can get it for less than $5k (check alibaba)
Why do we build roads @N1b/km (take Lagos - Ibadan) & how many can we build at such rates?
Why could private universities come up with better structures with same fund but FG' would only have the Admin & VC' lodge as master pieces (the rest would be the inherited sec Sch buildings)
