Nigeria is gradually descending to a failed state.
Chai.... Military government is needed.

It has all the elements of a failed State.

Instability, violence, nepotism, corruption, wanton disregard for rule of law and the sanctity of life.

A drastic drastic failure of governance at all levels.

Life is so cheap in Nigeria.

Buhari won second term and practically retired in office.
The idiot is in daura while his wife and children are in Dubai.

AmazonTopaz:
Yep.

President-elect Biden

Sure

AmazonTopaz:
Why should Biden be ashamed is Trump not the incumbent to run with a record.

He failed woefully Covid was a test on his leadership and he failed.Trump should be the one ashamed because he is leaving office with a bad economic record and others.

Biden did very well for an incumbent he had 81 million votes the highest for any presidential candidate he had that while defeating an incumbent

I am glad Trump lost a shameless soreloser.Biden will be president he does well he will be reelected again.

As at the time I was writing that post , the race was very close.

It's a landslide now.

There is no difference between South America And Africa.

90% of them are age cheats.

All of them are playing football to escape poverty.

Europe is more accurate with their age.

It's everywhere.

So many pretty ladies but single.

oocyte:
when talking about Niger Delta you need to be specific because imo and abia are part of niger Delta.

A Lagos- calabar rail will cut through both states.

Abeg, take this disgusting nonsense out of here.

Banana republic.

I pity who will take over after buhari.

A lot of reforms will need to be made.
A lot of stupid decisions to be reversed.
A lot of loans will mature and due for payment.

If that person is not highly cerebral, brave and frugal, he is going to sink under the weight of the whole thing.

And the sad thing is that he is going to face real opposition because unlike buhari, he is not going to enjoy as much slavish support to weather through the storm.

winterfell007:
It's definitely not a potential revenue generating point. This AKK was first muted during the GEJ administration along with the OB3 project that's currently ongoing.
GEJ did a roadshow for both projects in the international market but was only able secure investors that will bonds for the OB3 project. The AAK was perceived as unviable and therefore not bankable by the international investors . That was how the project died until Buhari assumed power. If you read closely the nature of the AKK project, you'll see that China agreed to loan government the money only because NNPC decided to guarantee that project by themselves. If not, they wouldn't dare loan that project that's not viable at all.
The reason why OB3 was able to raise money from the investors is primarily because that gas pipeline will feed gas through the escravos pipeline that connects Lagos, a huge market that needs gas and other cities within the West African market part of the gas will be supplied to the eastern region that's beginning to grow their industrial bases.
AKK will simply a political project, there's no way investors will invest 2.5billion dollars to pipe gas to the north whose industrial base is not as significant as the one in the south. This is simply another Kaduna refinery in the making

I don't see the viability of it as well.

That is why using a rail platform would have been better.
At least, the rail would serve a bigger purpose of transporting people and trade.

We are governed by nepotistic dimwits.

They just see free Money and use it anyhow.

Money that is not really free.

idealogical:
Contract port Harcourt to Maiduguri was awarded 2 months ago.

The last time I heard it was suspended or something like that.
There is certainly no hurry to do it.

Anyway, my point still stands.

If we had a govt with a semblance of intelligence, all hydrocarbon transfer to the north should have been planned through the Port Harcourt-maiduguri rail platform.

It's common sense.

obailala:
You're suggesting that gas should be transported via rail instead of pipelines, and at the same time, you think it is the government that is clueless.

There is nothing wrong with his proposal.

It would kill two birds with a Stone and a more prudent use of resources.

I expect Emeka Okuosa to become an almost dollar billionaire after this project.

Oilserv would be handling the pipelines logistics with some level of job creation

That is probably the only positive I see.

persius555:
It will make more sense if the loan is channeled towards completing the North to East rail section. That way, LNG can be conveyed by rail to and from the Niger delta to the north. Don't forget the same rail will serve dual purpose as goods can also be transported to and fro.

The problem with this government is not availability of funds but the wastage of available funds. We are digging Nigeria's economic grave with all these Chinese loans flying all around. The Chinese only want to create economic annex in Nigeria. We should be smart with loans.

True.

The money for the gas pipelines would be enough to build the port Harcourt to Maiduguri rail.

yemmie:
The pipeline is going to Morocco.. the deal signed between Nigeria and Morroco should be scrutinized.

China built a pipeline for Sudan and they paid back with
crude oil ...

I don’t understand if it’s lack of exposure that’s is disturbing the current crop of leaders.

There should be future master plan for development of Nigeria. The future Nigeria as it is now is mortgaged for 50 years with all these loan.

Tizeti CEO was my colleague in one of the IOC, full employee resigned and started Tizeti.. there are a lot of bright minds in Nigeria but the Government is not supporting their growth.

To change Nigeria.. the youths must be ready to put all
hands on deck... look around the world . young leaders are emerging.

Are you seriously expecting buhari to plan Nigeria's future?

Seriously?

osusuallstars:
Where will the gas come from ?

It's coming from the Niger Delta, yet buhari cannot build the Lagos-calabar rail.

The north is getting far far far more than it is giving back.

Only mercenaries can rout these terrorists.

The Nigerian army is shitt.

Jollylolly:
Some people still think UK will sanction Nigerian... In their wildest dreams

Since gaining its independence in 1960, Nigeria has maintained strong relations with the United Kingdom, its former colonial master. The United Kingdom is now one of Nigeria’s strongest allies. I think we need UK more now because of the challenges facing the country.

It is not because they like you or want what is best for you.
It's because you are their cash cow.

The amount that UK universities get from NIgeria alone is more than the GDP of some countries.

And that's one of the ways the British milk us.
And they need NIgeria now more than ever.

They will support a dictator if it keeps NIgeria stable.

Drakkernoir:
The way we celebrate unlawfulness in Nigeria is amazing..

It is only in this country,..someone will take one way and when he is stopped, will start ranting " do you know who i am"
Ogbeni....who are you?

I know they will be released soon...but us justifying a country not standing by its laws is awkward.

Some even said the president had rally...so?

If i kill a human now and go free, makes it okay for the next being to kill someone...i dont get it

The way we celebrate fraud, lawlessness, corruption, prostitution in this country...is on another level..

I cant deal..i swear

The American that was kidnapped in Niger republic was probably a CIA officer carrying out espionage.

That is a crime.

But America got their citizen back.

Another American was arrested in Iran for evangelising.
That is also a crime in Iran.

American carried out a prisoner exchange to get him back.

Get your citizens back before talking nonsense.

Your govt don't value you anyway, how will you value yourselves?

Drakkernoir:
I cant even deal..the one that annoyed me the most is the way these youths defended that guy call hushpuppy like their lives depended on it..and government should take us serious...

Like they were justifying fraud..even comparing it to corrupt politicians...i kill someone and get away with it..makes it okay for the next person to do the same?

Slogans like "all hustle na hustle" is really irritating tbvh.

Lets channel energy to the right course, face the government..dont turn everything to a jamboree..

Shut up.

Get your citizens back before talking about who is right and who is wrong.

That is how it's done.

Besides, the president of Uganda is highly irrational.
You can't Trust someone like that with the rule of law.

The Nigerian federal Civil Service is a stew of nepotism and incompetence.

No wonder nothing works in this country.

If you work for the federal government, and you are on the forum.

You should know that I don't rate you.
You are just a beneficiary of nepotism and corruption.

The Lagos State Civil service has a more meritocratic system.

The saraki led senate was 1 million times better than this one.

I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.

Saraki is a crook. But even in his crookedness, he is more competent than the APC replacement.

And I was praying for Chelsea to meet Barca.

Chelsea would have dismantled them with ease.

Chelsea will beat them home and away.
Or maybe draw in Spain, and win in England.

It will just be stressful.

Rahkman:
Fear of jao felix

Who is Jao Felix?

Their defence and goal keeper is THE problem.

I no blame you Na.

It's because the guy came to Nigeria to see una.

And now British people that invested in him are furious with him for sharing their glory with Nigeria.

90% of the British people are supporting Tyson fury.

That was not the case a few years back.

Well China has absorbed them now.

I learnt that after gbaja invited buhari to come and explain, APC governors Like el rufai spoke to him harshly in the APC meeting for trying to ridicule buhari.

Buhari was in that meeting.

If you have millions in your account and you have not converted It to dollars one way or the other, i pity you.

The National assembly invited buhari to come and explain why farmers were murdered in their farm.

He declined without consequences.

The hopeless and highly corrupt attorney general defended him.
After all, he earns his Billions at the pleasure of the president.

Poor Nigerians that can't even afford air travel also supported him.

Gerrard59:
Which is why when ordinary Nigerians attack me on the social media when I call the ills in the country, I'm startled. The other day I questioned Adeboye's comment about the naira, boom! They attacked me when in fact, senior members of the RCCG are applying to Canada's EE, are applying to branches abroad and those who have the money send their kids to study abroad. Yet ignorant Nigerians will argue otherwise


Well, I cannot blame them as Nigeria is all they have especially if there are no options to flee but people should stop burying their heads in the sands. I knew it from my teenage years that the country is gone, my mom told me when I was young but I argued blindly. But currently, I thank God

They are concentrated idiots. I don't rate them.

What confirmed their idiocy was during the end SARS protest.

Poor people telling their fellow citizens not to protest.
Calling it a regime change.

These idiots want peace so that their political leaders can keep looting in peace.

humilitypays:
You need to be tied on a stake and shot on the head for celebrating and encouraging mediocre!


No single black nation is doing well, none! All those nonsense you are calling development are foolishness, stop celebrating failure, black nations are failures!!

Do those countries have Good power? Yes

So they have decent roads? Yes

Is the poverty level there manageable? Yes

Are those countries stable and peaceful? Yes

Is their education and health care decent?yes.

Then they are doing well.
