Funny enough... Even if crude oil jumbs to $140 ...we will still have to add trillions in order to subsidize fuel..

anorexicmuster:
Well, your government has to go from being resource dependent to being industrial dependent to do so.

We can't pay off the debt so long as we all rely on oil. Crude oil revenues aren't enough for the whole country...unless crude is being sold at $140 per barrel, all other things remaining the same.

The railway will have a significant impact once completed and all the cargo that usually ply the roads noe use the rail from apapa all the way to kano and maradi...

You don't understand how badly we need our refineries back if not u won't type that nonsense and post

Fiscus105:
Its a foolish father that will use 80% of his salary to borrow money, and use the money to do foundation of his building project. When the borrowed money exhausted, he won't move to the house, yet he will still be paying house rent and every other obligations, with 80% gone, how would he sustain his family welfare?


It's on record that government in Nigeria can not do business successfully, yet bubu keeps piling debt to do railway and now refineries, not even railway that has very little minimum impact on economy , he is just doing it to satisfy his people in Niger republic a least for free flow of goods from Niger to Nigeria.

The painful thing is that the next government will not let this man taste all his misdeeds in government.

I travel quite often and I must say there isnt any time am one the road this problem of motion sickness seems to spare me..
My last trip on the road for over 15hrs was the worst as I encountered the worst symptoms of motion sickness.. I became nauseous 3 min before starting the trip and also vomited barely 2hrs to the entire journey...
I believe am not the only one in this dilemma.. So how do u guys help prevent and control motion sickness while travelling or using any means of transport..
And what necessary measure do you take before, during and after a long trip by road most especially

They are all equally condemned.. It just DAT u turn blind eye towards those reports

Newton2024:
Why can't you guys condemn Fulani herdsmen and other Islam'ic terr-orists? IPOB is your problem. From Lagos to Onitcha.

I doubt u know the function of CCTV if it not to capture them...

sweerychick:
God bless you my dear.. You just said my mind.. Burning his own house just to attract sympathy. And he knew that CCTV would capture them...

So since tanks have being moved to Ibadan...where did u see it being used live in Ibadan... Hope u can tell the differences between a tank and an armored fighting vehicle (APC) or MRAP..cuz am pretty sure MRAPS or APC were moved but many Nigerians still refer to them as tanks (probably out of ignorance)....

Now to the issue here..the army can't deploy it equipment let say from it major depot at ojo,
Lagos to let say the NE All at once..it common sense...
So they do it from base to base...probably from ojo barrack or the Lagos to port to the barrack at Ibadan... Den it begins another movement to another base until it reaches it destination in the NE, NW or anywhere else...

This how it done worldwide.. Even the brand new a 29 super tucano that the airforce received were flown from the US to multiple airports in different countries before landing in kano..
Even if alaafin or the governor not to talk of so called maliafa should die...why should that have any impact on how the army choose to move it equipment.... After all the movement isn't the issue but where it will used...so question.. Where did u see it being used in Ibadan...in short since 1914 when have battle tanks been used in Ibadan..

And even if it was deployed to ibadan...is DAT a crime or what with ur guilty conscience..or ur saying army can't move it own equipments to it own base again..or what..

Nigerians are too sentimental over simple things that are not even issues in the first place

Crossroad1:
oga, the reason am replying non challantly is because whatever argument you put up is not making any sense..
Maliafa said some things and in the space of some days, he died..
Tanks were moved to ibadan not through ibadan.
Things have been happening under this useless administration especially underground..

How has igboho being from Ibadan brought security issues there..and how should that affect the army moving it equipment within it own boundaries and country..please..just scroll if u have nothing sensible to post...

Crossroad1:
Oh, I forgot igboho was not from ibadan since there was nothing in ibadan

The terrorist in the NE or bandits in the NW ..are they external aggressors...if ur ideology is correct..then police should be the only force fighting terrorist then....use ur head..the military can intervene in any security issue that local police can't handle....

mandax:
Function of Army is defend a country against external aggressors.

Army moving equipment and troops for what? Is Nigeria involved in war with another country?

If police can’t take care of Nigeria’s internal problems, that means that there are huge political issues to resolve by politicians of Nigeria.

If Arewa can’t bend to political restructuring of Nigeria which is the cause of political instability in Nigeria, must Buhari government dispatch armed forces to kill the Nigerian groups asking for political restructuring, or secession if political restructuring fails?

The tanks are most likely the ones called vt 4 currently being delivered from China through the Lagos port...it possible they moving them from states to state until it ends up in the NE...u don't have to be pessimistic... There is nothing Ibadan that warrants the deployment of soldiers not to talk of tanks.

Crossroad1:
He SAID THE EXERCISES WILL RUN CONCURRENTLY IN 2, 6, 81 AND 82 DIVISIONS AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITIES (AOR) AND IN THE SOUTH WEST, SOUTH SOUTH AND SOUTH EAST REGIONS, RESPECTIVELY.

The scheme is so glaring but believe, they can only try, they won't succeed..

Tanks were moved into ibadan and some other south west states some months ago, they were covered so people won't know what they were carrying but we saw it..
No matter the exercise you people wants to carry out, northern part needs it more

Propaganda..
When did sanusi build mosques as CBN governor or married multiple wives...
See ..employ cognitive reasoning in analysing issues rather than sentiment and prejudice

baylrc4real:
Sanusi is a perfect example of Talk is cheap. Listen to him at your own peril. He can talk and talk and talk all words no action. I don't know what he stands to gain. When he was the CBN governor he didnt do any special reform in the CBN rather he was busy supporting with millions islamic jihad in different northern states. He can't deny he has never supported insurgency in the north. He built many mosques with Nigerian's money and no record of any impact. No impact because religion does not affect Economy it can only worsen it, moreover that shows he is a partial leader showing the attitude of nepotism. Out of the numerous mosques he built and sponsor as a Governor no record of him doing just a single effort for the Christians in Nigeria.
He had the opportunities to change people's lives( at least in kano) as an Emir of Kano but what did he do instead he was spending billions on vacation abroad, buying expensive cars like rolls Royce marrying many wives like clothes. What was is achievement as the CBN governor or the Emir no wonder when the Governor of Kano removed him the people of kano never protested he failed as an Emir. A position he never merited neither was it his turn to ascend that throne he politically attained that position. The major problem in Nigeria and this present government is that we keep blaming others for woes as deceit for doing nothing instead of taking proactive actions to mend things. Talk is cheap Mr Sanusi, FFK, FAYOSE, OMOKRI , Dino Melaye all we hear from them is always talking what did they do when they are in position of leadership Nothing. Deceivers worst than the devil. May bless Nigeria with proactive leaders who will talk less but work more to change people's lives for the better. Thanks

We have epileptic power supply simply because the power sector is also being subsidized.... See get this... Anything being subsidized can never grow no matter what..
Subsidies should be removed and the market should obey the law of demand and supply

IMAliyu:
If not for our epileptic power supply that hurts industries and production.

The price of fuel would had remained rather inconsequential to our daily lives.

This has nothing to do with leaders and should not affect d celebration...
This is Africa ..poor kids hawk all around the continent.. And people die even on Christmas day.. D issue here is...he shouldnt have been on an highway..
Rip to him

freemanq:
You see the reason i dont see why we are celebrating Nigeria Independence today,The small should be in school today if everything is well Nigeria but he was out there looking for money to help the Family survive. Rip boy our leaders caused it

This is Africa not uk

vikacydevato:
Nigeria has failed the boy.

Do children like this hawk groundnuts in the UK?

May his soul rest in peace!

Try and read the article not only the headlines

chaloskyx:
EHEN WONDERS SHALL NEVER END AFTER SPENDING BILLIONS IF NOT TRILLIONS OF NAIRA PURCHASING JETS YOU CLAIMED WOULD GIVE YOU AN EDGE OVER INSECURITY AFTER YOU CASHEDOUT YOU THEN TELL US ITS NOT ENOUGH TO FIGHT SECURITY YOU STILL NEED MORE FUNDING ABI? IF THAT MONEY HAD BEEN USED TO BUY TACTICAL WEAPONS AND AMORY FOR OUR SOILDERS WITH HIGHLY SOFISTICATED PARTOL VEHICLES AM SURE IT WOULD GO A LONG WAY RATHER THAN PURCHASING JETS THAT ONLY KILL UN ARMED CIVILLIANS

U comparing a commercial aircraft to an ISR plane shows ur completely ignorant of what ISR is about and the equipments involved...
Am not insulting u...so don't take it personal... But u need to first understand what ISR planes are and then what military thermal imaging and electro optic targeting systems.or military sensor balls are....
Peace

chloride6:
The jet was controlled by a human like me and you. I find it hard to believe a pilot at that altitude struggling with g-LOC and other factors can make out children and women. Even ordinary Arik Air, you can't make out houses at cruising altitude, let alone the gender of humans.

How does speed affect detection...
Hope u are aware Nigeria airforce now have sophisticated drones like the winglong ll ,
CH 4 and CH 3 drones..which can silently fly thousands of meters high and conduct ISR missions with high resolution optical imaging system....both day and night.

The drones are too high tobe sighted and targets will never hear them why they silently monitor them..

chloride6:
At what speed?

It possible...
Women do often put on long hijab which will be glaring using infrared optical cameras or sensor balls

chloride6:
You can distinguish women and children from that height?

They never said so

Thought they said they wr sorry

It not enough to have oil...the quantity produced and the number of oil companies is most important...ondo's crude oil reserve is almost insignificant compared to states like delta ,rivers and akwa ibom...
2nd largest bitumen deposits but how many companies are actually mining it...are dey even exporting it..does it contributes to it GDP as a state..sometime ago Nigeria used to import bitumen for road construction...how much vat can u generate from cocoa..remember... Ondo states needs to generate vat of about 500 million dollars per annum about 207 bn naira to fund it yearly budget...
I honestly don't think ondo has what it takes to do that today...in short rivers state with all it resources generates an average of 90bn...which isnt enough to fund ondo recurrent expenditure....

The fact is every states have viable resources but it takes decades to fully develop those resources and attract huge investment before thinking of recouping VAT from it..this is something rivers and Lagos state have done years ago ...today it harvesting it fruits...so don't be deluded about untapped and underdeveloped resources..

collins07:
Ondo state doesn't need any spills from Lagos.it has crude oil,2nd largest bitumen deposit in d world,large scale cocoa plantation,timber,natural spots for tourism and Atlantic Ocean.
If that state is well managed to its full potential it would generate millions of dollars annually.
Majority of states in Nigeria can survive on their own if not for d useless unitary system of government Nigeria is practicing.

U are the one being deceived...
What the government (FIRS) Has been collecting from state is what state will. Still collect...
Lagos rivers and abuja generate more than 65% of the total VAT in the country ....d rest of the 34 state...will struggle to survive with just 35%....
Think am joking... Check this out..

NetValueFX:
Keep deceiving yourself. Once states are officially allowed to collect VAT only then will you know the exact VAT being collected from each state.

They are not daft...that will be the only choice for them to survive...once FG allocation stops..many states will begin to copy the western style of taxation.. Meaning that many businesses will fold up and probably relocate to Lagos and rivers state as they will most likely be the only states to take things because they have sufficient money and don't need to put businesses under pressure...

Lastanza:
They would resort to fleecing the citizens and businesses of the states. You will start seeing the state tax officials arresting citizens and closing down businesses indiscriminately to get money from them.

You don't even want to imagine what these states will do to get money if the federal allocation is stopped.

They won't resort to any brainstorming economic plan and development. They will just go the easy way of creating all manners of taxation like radio access tax, television tax, security tax etc. The people we have as leaders in this country are just daft

But they don't borrow to pay salaries

Ayomi90:
The same Nigeria that is borrowing nkor?

They cannot....
The major contributor to VAT that FIRS Lagos and rivers state..Inshort Lagos contributes 55% alone.....every other states are just parasites that eat from it...once state begin collecting their own.only Lagos and rivers will have bigger share which over 60% of total VAT In the country...the rest of the other States won't be able to collect sufficient amount cuz their economy isn't as vibrant as rivers and Lagos.

NetValueFX:
Every state can survive without allocation from Fg

Alright cool ..so the tracks can handle such speed...but can the trains move at such speed..
. I have watched a video when popular youtuber wide Maya was on the abuja Kaduna train and questioned the Chinese train drivers..the reply he got is that once the tracks is protected from cows and all that..the operating speed will be about 120km/hr..
I have watched another video that advertised the train maximum speed capacity to be around 120km/hr...
It been long I watched these videos so I can't provide links...u should be able to confirmbdat of wide Maya by going to his channel.
Which is true cuz it a diesel electric locomotive train... And the average speed is pegged around 150km/hr....


So it cool the tracks can handle higher speed trains but can the trains go High speed? .the answer is no...

Maybe you should google search the model of locomotive Nigeria is using and their maximum speed capacity...

Reflect7:
This alone indicates you don't know what you're talking about.

Lagos–Kano Standard Gauge Railway

Technical
Track gauge 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge
Operating speed 150–250 km/h (93–155 mph)


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagos%E2%80%93Kano_Standard_Gauge_Railway




Dude, I posted evidence of everything i claimed. Don't fail to read the posts and then interject with stuff that makes it clear you've not read the evidence as posted.

First of all let me remind you that the standard gauge built in Nigeria has a maximum capacity of 150km/hr... And that a fact proven with a quick search on google.. Secondly the operating speed is going to be around 120km..cuz realistically speaking no one runs a product at maximum capacity except you want to shorten it lifespan...
Lastly.. Looking at this era of railway and train development where we now have trains exhiding 400km/hr and still regarded as high speed train... I don't think it makes sense to refer to a 120km train as high speed..
Besides according to railway technology....
There is a separate track made and modified for high speed train...the SDG are not one of them..therefore what we have in Nigeria isn't high speed train...another fact is dat no country builds high-speed tracks for cargo and containers movement ..or have to seen a train carrying containers moving above 120km/hr even in movies.... The tracks in Nigeria are for both passenger and cargo so they could never support Highspeed /bullet trains

Am not trying to be cynical like the average Nigerian is especially to anything relating to bujari but the truth should be spoken..

Reflect7:
It's not an exaggeration. It's a fact.

That was an exaggeration ...the point is train break down all-around the globe....
In Nigeria it not more than 4 times since abuja Kaduna line began in 2016..
Lagos Ibadan railway trains have never broken down

jazzyking:
Are you alright at all? Where exactly have you been in Europe of North America, that you're arguing blindly that trains breakdown daily?

It 100% working.. Visit the warri station by 8am u will see a train going to kogi state(ajaokuta and itakpe )

Jungleluv5:
Abegiii the one of warri, ajaokuta and itakpe line dey work?

Oga....Lagos Ibadan, abuja Kaduna and warri itakpe are all standard gauge lines...
And please stop lying u have not worked on any of them

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
Abuja-kaduna is a light railway. The new lagos-ibadan is a light railway. I am working on some of this project and I know. We have complained to the government that they need to do industrial railway but they will not listen to us which are doing the construction.

Thank u for ur contribution.. How about automation (PLC) training

SonofGod231:
Using AutoCad,PVsyt, ArchiCAD, PDMS ,Autodesk inventor depends upon the task. Are you making a 2D schematic? How about routing and laying out a PCB board? Or making a complex 3D wiring harness? How about working on complex SCADA designs? Do you need software to check your work?
For Construction, Architectural and Civil engineering design ArchiCAD is better.
As an Electrical engineer it's best you learn how to use Autocad electrical,Autodesk inventor,PMDs.
I was lucky enough,In my 300level as a mechanical/Software engineering student we treated Autocad as a course.
Not many schools do that.

IIT is also expensive... Nearly N500k

haryaw:
For Automation, u can check IIT.
