Brother joes11, Are you devoid of human empathy? Can't you feel the pains of these women who have lost husbands and children to the brutish point and kill nature of buhari's bulldog- burantashi?

u call dem widows because dey wear black,,...dats dere normal dressing iooo according to report

chizpim:
The shiite muslims are more peaceful than the sunni, what the sunni knows about is jihad! Bokoharam, isis,al shaabab alqeda,taliban etc they are all sunni jihadist. To hell with all sunni and to hell with saudi arabia the terrorist sponsors.

if the Shiites are d peaceful ones den I'm confused....hmmmmm

Wen dey are tired dey will go home.....the man is a terrorist, he shld be tried just like Kanu......buhari really showing his strength.

You write as if she unilaterally signed off on that money by herself. Shouldn't you place the blame where it ought to lie, with GEJ? Besides, how do you know that Dasukigate wouldn't still had happened if she'd allowed more money to be wasted on Ajaokuta?

I repeat, whatever the failings of the last government, Okonjo-Iweala has rendered tremendous service to Nigeria, not just in this Ajaokuta business, but in getting the Paris Club to cancel $18 billion of Nigeria's debts. Hate GEJ's government all you want - I don't care - but give Okonjo-Iweala her proper due instead of uncritically swallowing hit-pieces by economic illiterates.

don't worry she will soon be surmoned to answer questions

Sir, I actually started Materials and Metallurgy engineering at FUTO hoping to work some day at Ajeokuta steel because of the hype then. Thank God I was redirected by the Holy Spirit. That was about 20+ ago.

dis comment got me laughing so loud. U mean if not for the intervention of d holy spirit u wld ve landed in Ajaokuta? I don laugh taya.....all I know is dat Ajaokuta will rise again.

sonnie10:
Now you have shown that you know little about automation. No one is saying that Ajekuta can not be revamped to produced but the point is, who will buy at the price the steel will be produced? Again, you pointed out the size of administrative building and I ask, at what expense? The production capacity of ajekuta can not sustain those number of offices and homes you mentioned in today's competitive market. Every company in the world is cutting down on numbers of employee by using more efficient means of production. The set up of that facility is not economically viable. In line with international best practices, it would be suicidal to attempt to produce with such obselate equipment/ facility. Which market are you going to sell the expensive steel? Not anywhere on earth because China and Russia steel are too cheap to compete with.

30 years ago, the set up at ajekuta would have been profitable but not in 2016.

tell me I know nothing about automation is laughable, I'm an automation engineer, masters holder and currently running my PhD, so show some respect, who says Ajaokuta cannot be automated? Moreover alot of companies still use analogue systems, u cannot even completely write off analogue systems. All we need is d political will dats all and d place will be up and running. U keep calling china and Russia, does south Africa ve still or not? We can make it happen if we want. The Las tym I read just 1billion dollars is needed to complete d plant, instead of stealing and looting our funds, if we can channel 1billion dollars its not too much. At least to create employment for our youths.

omohayek:
Thank you for representing the voice of economic sanity in here! The sheer level of economic illiteracy and historical ignorance in most of the responses here is simply depressing. Ajaokuta was an obsolete piece of Soviet plant even back in 1982, when Shagari was announcing the supposed completion of its initial stage. Compared to modern steel mills, Ajaokuta is hopelessly outdated, and seeing as even the most efficient manufacturers are currently cutting capacity to cope with reduced global demand, even the completion of the project would only lead to huge, unending losses from the very first day of operation. Does Nigeria really need another black hole to throw precious funds into?

The stupidest thing of all is that steel-making is an ultra low margin commodity business, with little relevance for high-tech industrialization which now orbits around chips, software, biotechnology and advanced synthetic materials. There is essentially nothing to show for the $5 billion that has been expended on Ajaokuta over the decades - $5 billion that could at least have been spent on priorities of real value like primary and secondary education, maintenance and improvement of roads, or universal maternal healthcare. If any of the fools in here who are busy insulting Okonjo-Iweala had the slightest understanding of finance or economics, they would be thanking her for saving precious government funds from being wasted on this ridiculous project. Why is it that Nigerians who like to play armchair development economists never ask themselves why no private businesses are putting their money into the white elephant projects they like to champion? If Nigeria had any competitive advantage in steel-making, wouldn't some big time businessman have noticed it by now?

u mean we shld thank NOI for saving Nigeria money she kept for Dasuki ba? Smh

It doesn't surprise me that every year when Waec releases exam results, English( comprehension) and math( critical thinking) are the most failed subjects.

Majority of NL commentators are my proof that English ( comprehension) and mathematics ( critical thinking) are skills our schools are woefully failing to teach.

Take for example, this silly thread and the headlines.

Anyone with a little common sense would read it and understand it for what it actually is: A poor piece of bad belle pretending to be journalism.

Let's address the issues put forward by this op.

The man in question, Mohamed Sanusi. Who is he , and what is his interest in Ajeokuta Steel ?

For those too young to know, I have been hearing of Ajeokuta Steel since the early 80s. It was supposed to be the engine for Nigerias industrialization.

But after, Shagari, BuHRI, Babangida, Abacha, Abdusalami, Obasanjo again, Yaradua and Billions of Dollars in IMF, World Bank, ADB loans as well as billions of Naira of Nigeria's oil Wealth, Ajeokuta Steel is on record as the biggest waste of money in human history.

It should interest you ignorant folks to know that a good sizable portion of Nigeria's external debt, the one that NOI and OBJ successfully negotiated to be written off, were loans taken for Ajeokuta Steel.
Selective amnesia, perhaps?

Now, during the tenure of Jonathan, the vultures were circling again, trying to convince GEJ and NOI to borrow even more billions of dollars to sink into that shithole.

She assembled a team to do the required due diligence.
The team of experts reported their findings that Ajeokuta Steel, unviable for more than 30yrs, did not qualify for more IMF and World Bank loans that would further encumber our economy for years to come.
It was as simple as that.

Anyone who cannot see this prudent action of the former finance minister is either among the vultures of Ajeokuta Steel or lacks the common sense and critical thinking skills to understand the issues.

Hold your peace.

wen I started read dis epistle of urs I actually thought u were in for a good write up........but u ended up writing poo. All d so called monies, how much got to the steel plant? Dey approve money for the plant and end up sharing it amongst demselves in Abuja. Blame it on corruption bro....lest I forget, where did u read it dat Ajaokuta is d highest waste of money in human history? And who told u Ajaokuta is a shit whole........u are so uninformed bro.

Whoever is interested I can pay for a fully paid excursion to Ajaokuta to see for ursrlf.

splaka:
No be lie oh...we have waited for too long for a change...now its here..so what are we waiting for.....bliv it or not Ajaokuta can feed this Nation.. Enough of Oil ....We need to diversify ...(End of Discussion)

don't mind d uninformed people here.

leofab:
counter him with salient points or shut up forever. If IMF is that bad why is bubu jumping up and down with their head? Opposition government. Continue

madam ade, did u read my post at all? Na people like u dey jump enter quarrel chop slap......i ve said I'm not interested in casting blames on anybody, all I want is to get d place working......so nxr tym watch road before u cross to avoid accident

MalcoImX:
Buhari misfired on many occasions and he was called names, like the West German thing. I accept that. You also have to accept that by some of his pronouncements, GEJ was clueless.

all I'm saying is dat "what goes around comes around" period! U reap wot u sow.....very simple

code66:
Ajaokuta steel company has the capacity to employ 150,000 graduates and also create 500,000 indirect jobs if its completed and made fully operational...... if u see wats on ground already dia.....hmmmm!..its massive...#BRINGBACK AJAOKUTA STEEL

abeg tell Dem.....people will just stay in d confines of dere homes and be typing rubish......i ve bin dere and done dat.....so I know wot I'm saying

wiseoneking:
Go and arrest Gej, isi efi. That Ajaokuta was initially sited in onitsha by the russian experts but the northern oligarcy govt insisted on pushing it to the northern soil against all their candid advice. That steel coy is under curse from Biafra. Leave NOI at of it. The rot is almost 30yrs old, why iwela.

abeg leave trash for LAWMA......na rubbish u write oga ade

I'm really not interested in casting blames. All I'm saying is dat d place is too big to be abandoned, d Las tym AMCON costed d place at about 6 trillion.....the government need to find a way out and bring back dat place to full functionality, even if its section by section, let d power plant come back fully on, the rolling mills, and other sections.....dos of u writing nonesense ve not bin dere b4 dats why, go dere and see infrastructure. More Dan 10 thousand homes excluding offices and administrative buildings......talk about the d job site, everything is dere........nigeria shld just think deeply wot dey wanna do with d place

sonnie10:
Where is the infrastructure to run a steel company? Do you want to run a steel company with hydro power and compete with countries like China and Russia who are using cheap nuclear power? The truth is that while Nigeria was sleeping, other countries concentrated on capacity building. For those who do know, the world is presently swimming in steel. There is no way Nigerian steel produced with hydo-electric power will sell at international market price. Steel production is highly dependent on energy and Nigeria energy is not cheap.

Another point to consider is the facility itself. In this age of automation, the equipment are outdated and would be a burden on final cost of production.

The solution is a total new facility and not with what is on ground. Painful but true.

for ur mind u don write sense......ur likes will just stay where u are and be spitting trash......wot the ffuck do u know about Ajaokuta? U are truly uninformed .......abeg leave trash for lawma.....na very useless thing u write.

My humble Advice, always stay away from trouble....wen argument bcom heated pls just walk away pls....the devil is looking for people to use to carryout his evil deeds. I pray to God everyday to help me in dis area.

clerkent:
I remeber fifa presido when ask about messi and cr7.he said one is humble while the other visit saloon all the time.does that means that means mesi dont visit saløon.yet cr7 knows he is the one he is talking to.olamide bahave like the local rapper he is.

thank u jare.....u don't need to mention my name before I know u are talking to me.....

jaydee87:
am surprise at the way most ppl are analyzing the statement by Olamide, from the speech he gave he was referring to the organizers and not jazzy. jazzy did well by standing by his artist but should have stopped wen he said thank you.. he knew mentioning names would degenerate to beef but he still went ahead and mentioned names. and someone here said he isthe most successful musical entertainer in Nigeria that is a wrong information... how can he be wen we have a 2face, p-square, sound sultan and the likes... don jazzy made it clear that the headies are side taking award company.... so my opinion is olamide has really did good for himself in 5 years he has dropped 5albums not an easy task you know...

abeg remove sound sultan.....hes good but not as successful as the aforementioned

But wait ooooo, how do u expect don jazzy to keep quiet......is award by force? I go with Don Jazzy on dis one.....i will do Sam if it was me....moreover the nonsense lil kesh keep singing will never fetch him any award, he's a bad influence to young people.....Reekado deserve the award....Reekado dealt with him last year Rookie of the year, here again he was beaten for the nxt rated.....Reekado will continue to beat him any day anytime.....

RichyRodman:
First of all for her to receive a manhood pics then 6 months later more manhood pics it certainly means that she craves big ones and u have a small one! If u don't satisfy your wife,Dude Another Man Will! (Am so sure my wife won't cheat cus I'll certainly satisfy mine when I eventually get married)
Secondly she likes sex a lot perhaps u don't satisfy her sexually enough!
Thirdly I can't advise u divorce but take drastic steps tha would send chills down her spine for the rest of her life. Take your kids for DNA test that is proof No1 it don't make u hate the kids that aren yours because they already grown up calling u daddy but at least it solves a whole lot of mess and it would make her fear u!
Fourthly,when the result come of course definitely from the way I see her one of the kids wouldn't be yours.
Also get the phone numbers of these shameless men sleeping with your wife,print out some of these conversations,take your wife on a visit to that her mum that welcomed her ex boyfriend,bring out all these evidences both DNA tests result that she never knew when u took your children to the hopital when she Went to the market u tell the children u want to do Genotype and blood group for them but plan with doctor to take samples for DNA too.
Let her mother know how shamelessly her daughter was brought up and how she inculcates it to your children. Call the men in her presence with. Her number put it on speaker and see if he will answer the call with "hello baby" unless she has told everyone there's fire on the mountain. Insist that she stays with her mother for 1 month as punishment unless she the one that bought the house or paying the rent (just as some Nigerian couples do these days and makes a wife the bread winner thereby crippling the husbands powers)
My brother u have to take the bull by the horn and let her cry for forgiveness,u need to take what. Belongs to u back to your possession although it may not change her if u can't satisfy her sexually a woman. Must always go to the man that satisfies her. She belongs to u both of u MUST bring up the kids together,let her realise her mistakes infront of her family,divorce isn't always the answer to an ailing marriage or a cheating partner either Male or female. If anyone advises u better than this I want to read it on my email or whatsapp I'll ask for an account number for a price HOHA! Zentascommunication@gmail.com +2348032907249

lemme tell u, if u like ve the biggest joystick in the world or be a porn star dis kind of wife will still cheat, she just love to explore new things, she don't even mind banging a cute neighbor or a family friend. Things like dis give her satisfaction...so that wont solve the problem Oga ade

Dis is wot u get wen u consider only how beautiful and how good a lady is on bed......i think u shld gather more convincing evidence, if ur kids are grown up, let Dem know why u don't want their mother anymore. But if dey are still kids pls don't. She's just a lady who loves sex, corrupt, bad influence....u are just unlucky bro......i don't want to imagine wot I will do if I'm in ur shoes.......reminds me of the program "cheaters" on CBS reality station on DSTV......human beings are wicked.

MalcoImX:
The only one used by the APC officially is the "Clueless" tag. And that is earned by GEJ. But you can go to jail by calling me Hitler or pe.dophile.

guess u know not what clueless means....I think its just a way karma works......let Dem deal with it......they showed no respect for Jonathan. I'm not sympathetic to the Jonathan course but insulting the president at will is unacceptable.

When the so called men of God start mixing politics with kingdom message den dere is a problem. Dis man shld learn from orijeasafor's mistakes pls. Face the work of God and leave politics alone. Mbaka doesn't ve the right to be saying things like some people don't deserve to be in this country. He had no right to tag Jonathan "bad luck" while he was still president. All he cld ve done was pray for him, dat is what my bible says.

Jeromejnr:
The same Jesus that that said "My Kingdom is not of this world" also inspired this verse...

1 Tim 2: 1First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, 2for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,…

did mbaka pray for Jonathan? Instead it was abuse upon abuse.

Maxcollins042:
Ok,the government never brought down this illegal structures until after the recent clash btw the COAS and the shiites? Besides,how can you pull down a structure (legal or illegal structure) without notifying the occupants to evict?

who told u dey weren't notified, are u dere nairaland member? Did u not watch el-rufai's broadcast concerning the issue? He said past govt have made effort to demolish dere illegal structure but somehow dey looked d oda way. El-Rufai has come to do what is right oga mi. Nobody is above the law, Shiites, sunnis, christians, ogun worshippers.....whoever misbehaves shld be dealth with. Period!...they thought it was business as usual again forgetting dis is a new administration, a disciplined one for dat matter. God pass Dem hare

goldiam:
op your TV is tokumbo

don't mind him

I beg to disagree with someone dat is saying a public skool student will still beat Dem in any competition. Yes its possible but we don't see dat all d tym, even wen we see, its just one in a million, dats God given genius talent, but how many of such kids do we see around. Alot of public skools teaches poo. I use to attend one public primary skool, I was in pry 6 and went for pry 4 entrance exam of a private skool, I still cldnt pass before my mum pleaded with d reverend sister to assist me in pry 3. immediately I got to dat skool my life changed. My conduct and way of life changed. If u have d money, pls forget about public skool and send ur children to private skools.

My only fear is dat Hesbollah just came to Nigeria. Lets watch out for suicide bombing in d coming days. because all dis muslim extremist either Shiite or sunist are all cowards, dey feel d best way to fight is thru suicide bombing.......i fear for kaduna state, before u know it dey will start recruiting.

Maxcollins042:
Some one should hold Rufai before the weed he smokes makes him create another insurgent group. Human right abuse of the highest order.

did human right tells u to ho build houses without government approval? Nobody or govt can destroy ur house if u follow due process.

Did dey take permit? If dey didn't pls deal precisely with Dem. I can see op is dere member.
