You talked about me missing comprehension classes but It is obvious you do not even understand yourself. I asked to check your previous post so you can understand yourself and how you switched, but you are too stubborn or lazy or having so much pride to accept the truth. Now I have dig your previous comment and quote it so you can see how you lack basic understanding of your own comment. Your below comment is your trash I asked to go to google to see how wrong you are. Please read carefully it was your comment and with close attention to detail, so you can see where Nigeria and 30 is mentioned. If you still don't understand your comment, I will help you.

BluntBoy:
The biggest trade partners of the USA is the European Union. If you lump them together, rather than treat the countries in the EU separately, Nigeria would be among the top 30 biggest trade partners of the United States.

And mind you, when I mentioned trade partners, I had described Nigeria as an African superpower, and I was regarding Nigeria as a big American trade partner based on that, and not generally.

Africa does a lot of importation and that makes the continent home to a lot of Asian, European and American goods. Nigeria has the biggest population which has the potential to overtake the USA in a matter of decades.

So, any industrialized country cannot afford to joke with Africa, and because Nigeria has the population, a large market of buyers for these foreign goods, no country can afford to sideline Nigeria now or in the future.

Lol see who is talking of comprehension but lack the ability to understand basic facts & issues. Well, like I said earlier I need a chat with a matured mind not you. Explaining to you is waste of good time.

BluntBoy:
Smh.

I began by stating that Nigeria is an African superpower. I then went on to talk about Africa's place in world's commerce by covertly asserting to its abundance of natural resources and its large markets for foreign goods.

All these was said before I even mentioned Nigeria as one of America's main trade partners.

It is not my fault if you missed comprehension classes in school. You ought to know that when I said Nigeria was an African superpower, the rest of the paragraph would grow out of that.

When you answer comprehension passages, do you get the main points from the last sentence of the specific paragraph?

Twist your previous words the way you like but the truth is that Nigeria is not key trade US partner. When I said who is Nigeria in world politics? you tried to let me know Nigeria is a major US trade partner. Then I asked you to consult your so much loved google, which shows Nigeria is not a key partner. Please be logical, learn to argue with focus and you will understand better or better still start watch Aljazeera to understand world politics.

BluntBoy:
Read this for starters since you refuse to refute my claims with links to credible websites:

The United States is the largest foreign investor in Nigeria, with U.S. foreign direct investment concentrated largely in the petroleum/mining and wholesale trade sectors. At $2.2 billion in 2017, Nigeria is the second largest U.S. export destination in Sub-Saharan Africa. The United States and Nigeria have a bilateral trade and investment framework agreement. In 2017, the two-way trade in goods between the United States and Nigeria totaled over $9 billion. U.S. exports to Nigeria include wheat, vehicles, machinery, kerosene, lubricating oils, jet fuel, civilian aircraft, and plastics. Nigerian exports to the United States included crude oil, cocoa, cashew nuts, and animal feed. Nigeria is eligible for preferential trade benefits under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).

How did I switch?

Chai you can switch o. Pride to admit truth is just your issue

How can you learn when don't want to research yourself? Please check google, you will even see a credible US source telling Nigeria is ranked 49th in US goods trade partner. They are many just read read and read. Information is power.

BluntBoy:
Share a link to one credible website, my friend.

Just one link. Is that too much to ask for? If I had checked and found you right, would I still be confident enough to ask you for links?

Please just go to google and type key US trade partner and you here still blabbing. Why don't just search what I told you, there are so many credible information, even from US Government bodies. I know you must have check, but your foolish pride won't allow you say the truth. Well like I said earlier I need a matured mind to talk to not you.

BluntBoy:
Rather ambiguous. You can't tell me to go to Google as if Google is a website. Google is just a search engine. Be kind enough to share links to a website that omits Nigeria from the United States key trade partners. We can resume our arguments from there.

If Wikipedia is your best bet, then I honestly hope that you know how Wikipedia works and how to judiciously use information on Wikipedia without coming off as an ass.

Wikipedia is an open source, so without much careful thoughts and without the help of additional sources, you might be using a wrong or outdated information.

Someone here once argued an issue with me in 2019 using a Wikipedia information that was last updated in 2013.

So, be careful not to make a fool of yourself.

Please is Stella on Nairaland ? Who exactly are you talking to ? lol

MoneyMerchant:
Aunty Stella, I never expected you to respond to his post. A popular blogger can be anybody, perhaps you don't know how many bloggers that has called him on this issue. In your profession you are supposed to know how to take the same jab you give to people. Instead you made a mess of your mess by telling us when serious people get up from bed. Remember you bugged his privacy and he has every right to be upset. Don't qualify yourself as a journalist but a gossip columnist and you can be annoying. I understand that is your shop, but note that your outlet can be offensive to others. Thanks and no harm meant.

If she Stella actually did that then I applaud her for decency and professionalism. Try to understand what blogging is about before commenting next time.

Queenjuliette:
serious people aren't supposed to be in bed by 9am? TeddyA dey work for you?
Celebrities una dey try sha, someone I don't know would call me to confirm if my introduction is today so she can post on her blog?? like!! WT?
If He wanted it to be in the news he would have posted it himself.

Please go to your so much love google and type "USA key trade partners" and see if you will Nigeria in first 30. Guy start watching Aljazeera everyday you will understand a lot.

BluntBoy:
You make a blunder, and when you are called out, you start running up and down like a headless chicken

No one cares about why Russia was suspended, even though we know the reason, but it has no place in our present argument. Stay on the argument, please.

Your original position was that a country like Nigeria that is not a super power cannot be accommodated after "messing up".

Now, I have told you that even a super power like Russia was suspended from the hitherto G-8 and was not accommodated immediately. Russia has not even been reabsorbed. Now, you are trying to make a case for why Russia was suspended like we care

You are asking who Nigeria is in world politics? Bro, you have a lot to learn.

Nigeria is Africa's largest economy, and the 30th in the world. Nigeria is an African superpower and Africa is a very large market for European, American and Asian goods. One of the United States main alles and trade partners is Nigeria.

Please stop over hyping Nigeria with useless things you see online, because you will only end up deceiving yourself .

Correcto:
Nigeria is largest market, really? with what purchasing power? please go an sit in the gutter

I support restructuring too

emmasege:
I would prefer restructuring because I believe we are stronger when we are together. But if those who feel they own NIGERIA still want to hold on to this failed unitary system of government, I say TO YOUR TENTS, OH ISRAEL!

Is being a city what you are concerned about?

olusledge:
At least Lagos is recognized as a city
That’s a one step forward
Now the next step is fixing the loopholes .. this may take more than 30 years tho


And for those abusing Lagos
If your state no be city ,you have no right to say pim

Please choose one now, lol y restructuring or Odua rep?/

emmasege:
I see the Nigerian government sponsoring some Nigerians to write this letter. This could be in a bid to forestall a big DISGRACE that awaits Bubu when he attends the annual UN General Assembly in a few weeks.

I trust that the White House will be able to separate the hand of Esau from the voice of Jacob.

And let no hopeless foolish follower of APCheats quote or refer to me as an IPOB. I'm not one. I'm proudly O'ODUA.

IPOB wants Biafra while I want restructuring or O"odua Republic. Good luck to everyone's desire.

Like I said I need matured minds and not you. When you start misquoting me then I knew you had a chicken mind.

BluntBoy:
You referenced Chad indeed.

You made a case for Deby, describing him as one who never defies court orders, and when I described who Deby really is, you brushed it off, instead of backing off. You kept on trying to downplay the serious abuse of rights under Deby.

No one should take you seriously.

Chai you problem is that you don't watch Aljazeera. Russia was suspended because of US politics, another superpower both military & economical. It is so complex to start writing here. Do you know they try to accommodate Russians back? Trump is even championing the move now. Russians even rejecting to part of it if only few countries accept it re-entry. Please who is even Nigeria in world politics? Please

BluntBoy:
Is Russia not a world power?

Why then was Russia suspended from the G-7 (formally G8) for "messing up"?

I referenced Chad, now you say I supported Chad. Hope you can now see how Childish you reason? Please get lost, I need matured minds.

BluntBoy:
Bro, you have no point. You have run from pillar to post in your bid to make a big deal out of why Buhari was not invited to this year's G-7 summit.

I can't believe that you would be so desperate as to support the totalitarian government of Deby in Chad.

You hate Buhari so much, but it is obvious that it is for no reason. Because if you claim that you hate him because he defies court orders, then why do you defend Deby who is a despot? Buhari has not even done half of the human rights abuses that Deby has done, and yet you are shamelessly making a case for Deby.

Imagine Buhari banning social media the way Deby did in Chad. Would we even be having this conversation in peace?

Now I understand your ability to understand political stability. Please use your google for the definition and I will do the explanation

BluntBoy:
You obviously don't know the meaning of political stability.

You think of it only based on stability of a regime. In other words, even if the Buhari you hate so much continued to rule forever against the wish of the people, it would mean political stability to you.

Again, you wrote that we enjoyed political stability until Buhari came.

How so?

Obasanjo had a constitutional limit of 8 years. We had Yar'Adua who unfortunately died in office. Then, we had GEJ who lost out in 2015 in his attempt to seek reelection.

So, I don't understand what you meant by Buhari disrupting our political stability.

As for foreign relations, you should know that a country would only enter into a profitable relationship, without recourse for how the host fairs.

During the Civil War, countries entered into relationships with Nigeria because they had weapons to sell. No government cared whether Nigerians finished themselves up.

So, the USA would only pick Saudi Arabia over Nigeria if they could secure a great bargain from the relationship.

Moreover, the best countries in the world have change of governments every 4 or 5 years, including the USA. So, I don't see why you should castigate Nigeria for having constitutional change of governments and praise Chad for frowning against change of governments.

You are just a hypocrite who wants to find fault with the president at all cost, even at the cost of supporting human rights abuses in Chad.

Please did you read where I said Nigeria is not world power, hence can not be accommodated after messing up. Don't ever compare US and Nigeria. Please while you watch NTA try to watch Aljazeera to understand International politics

BluntBoy:
What is happening in the United States presently.

Trump has shown many times that he would defy court orders that he doesn't like. Remember the travel ban and how government agencies blatantly disobeyed Supreme court orders.

Now, Trump is hell-bent on disobeying court orders concerning the Census.

You say Saudi Arabia is more politically stable than Nigeria? Where are the statistics?

That the people in Saudi Arabia are incapable of overthrowing their government because they think of their rulers as Allah's servants does not mean that they are politically stable than Nigeria.

You enjoy a lot of freedom in Nigeria, that is why we are even having this conversation. They don't even enjoy this freedom in Chad, and yet you are rating Chad over Nigeria in terms of political stability.

While political stability can entail stagnancy, stagnancy doesn't tell the whole story.

You seem to lack basic understanding of issues and choose to reply points that suits you. However, from your comments, Chad is political stable than Nigeria, reason being a president has been ruling for long. Nigeria is not politically currently, why? a president came in and stop obeying the rule of law. It is even better to influence the court judgement secretly than to reject court judgement openly. Saudi has poor record of human rights compared to Nigeria but it is still politically stable than Nigeria. Nigeria does not even know what is practising, whether democracy or Autocracy. Please Nigeria is not a world power that mess up and still be accommodated immediately. Please watch Aljazeera more, to see a better view of international politics. Please note that Chadian solders are into a lot of positive International terrorism fight from Nigeria to Somali.

BluntBoy:
First of all, let us talk about the Chadian president. He is Idriss Deby. He has been president since 1990. The Economist calls him a despot.

Who is a despot? According to Wikipedia, a despot is "a ruler or other person who holds absolute power..."

This means that Idriss Deby does not even need to defy court orders since no court can even contest his powers in the first place.

Recently, Idriss Deby promoted a law that would allow him remain in power till 2033. When people protested, he banned social media for a year.

Under this man, Chad has remained one of the poorest countries in the world year in year out. It is also one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

Political stability in Chad is a scam since only one man has been ruling since 1990. And his name is Idriss Deby.

Yet, this power-drunk despot was invited to the G-7 summit in 2016.

Now, let us talk about Buhari defying court orders.

In 2015, Buhari defied court orders to release Dasuki.

In 2016, he defied court orders to release Ibrahim El Zakzaky.

How come he was still invited to the G-7 summit in 2017?

You just a learner, for Chad President to ruling Chad for that long makes Chad politically stable to Nigeria. Same reasons the US will trust their asset in the hands of Saudi Arabia with poor record of human Rights than Nigeria. Nigeria has shown stable democracy since 1999 untill Pres. Buhari came on board then things change hence the change of European and US towards Nigeria, as shown in the G7. In 2023 another person will be president of Nigeria and might better or worse than Buhari, the uncertainty is enough for an organization not to invite Nigeria. while you watch NTA also try to watch CNN & Aljazeera to understand international politics. Wikipedia & google is for history & reminders. promoted

Chad has respect for the rule of law. Is there any case of their president disobeying court orders on a repeat? If you are poor a country that is politically stable and has the potential to be great you can be invited to the G7 but that is not the case of Nigeria whose future looks threatening even to it citizens.

BluntBoy:
If you had common sense, you should ask yourself why Chad was invited to the G-7 summit in 2016.

In 2016, Chad ranked third lowest on the human development list. It is one of the poorest countries in the world, and is fraught with insecurity (including food insecurity), insurgency (Boko Haram), and corruption. Yet, Chad was invited to the 2016 G-7 summit.

Why was that?

the question is when?

dorothybella:
The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, on Thursday, said the Federal Government would complete all ongoing and abandoned projects across the country.

He disclosed this when the management team of Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria paid him a courtesy visit in his office.

Fashola said the policy direction of government was to complete all ongoing and abandoned projects.

The minister, who was responding to the remarks of the Board Chairman of the FMBN, Adewale Adeeyo, on the uncompleted recapitalisation of the bank, said the ministry would see that the process was completed.

He was quoted in a statement issued by his ministry as saying, “It (FMBN recapitalisation) is one of those areas of urgent focus by the President as a way of creating prosperity and enhancing the dignity of Nigerians.”

Fashola said there was a lot that could be jointly done by the ministry and the bank, assuring the bank’s team of the ministry’s readiness to look at its projects that were ongoing and fashion out ways of completing them.

But common sense should let anyone know that a country moving from 3rd to 4th world, faced with recession and disregard for the rule of law should not be invited to the G7

MelesZenawi:
MOGHALU MAKES IGNORANCE FASHIONABLE

Kingsley Moghalu is either ignorant or playing petty politics. The non-invitation of President Buhari to witness the G7 meeting this year is not a snub.

Neither does it diminish the status of Nigeria as the biggest economy on the continent. It seems no one clarified to the one-time Presidential Candidate how the G7 secretariat works. If they invite a country with an economy the size of Niger State, not Kano’s, not even Lagos’s does it call for Dr. Moghalu’s lamentation? Today, as we see it, they call this country, tomorrow they decide to have another. It’s entirely up to them.

Buhari didn’t go to Europe. Europe came to him in Japan, where the EU had him sign an MOU for 50 Million Euro in support to the country’s devastated North East.

The joke is not on President Buhari. The joke is on Moghalu for attempting to make ignorance fashionable.
