This woman is not so smart. Government of western countries are getting rid of coal plant in their own countries because of the release of green house gases. Of course they wont support you.
Infact heavy carbon tax are being levied on corporations still running on coal fired plants. Provincial goverments and state government have been given deadline dates to shutdown coal plants in their jurisdictions.

I doubt if she even knows that Nigeria signed a treaty with over 150 other nations at the last Paris climate agreementl less than 6months or so ago.

Nigeria out of recession.

Sad!
LAWMA/PSP truck drivers are always behaving like they are above the law, just because no law enforcer will tow or arrest them. You know, how do you arrest a waste truck?

Oh boy, this is a boat load of crap. Explorers, whoever wrote this needs his head examined. When did we gain independence in Nigeria? 1960. 56years ago. That is more than enough time to have experienced major technological and scientific development.

The colonialists gained a foothold in Africa through trade. They never brought 'good news' of trade and religion because we already had our own religious system on ground. We traded with them, they infiltrated our ranks, deceived a lot of the leaders into signing treaties that sold our authority to them and used force to ensure that those agreements stood. Those that resisted were either killed in battle or deposed and exiled through the use of force.

After 1945 there was a push for the decolonisation of Africa and thus from 1950s African countries began gaining their independence, but before then our people went to the Mother State for their University education where they got degrees in sciences, medicine and arts.

So tell me how in God's name they emphasised on art education for the average African child?

The lack of technological progress we are experiencing should be blamed on our inadequate leadership, not on the whiteman.

Why is it that our conjure only attracts investment from known avaricious defrauding investors as China and India. This guys come in here with substandard products, process, modus operandi and engineering.

What happened the likes of UK, US, Germany, France, Russia, South Korea, Japan, UAE, Belgium, Netherlands, et al.

Why must it always be India and China

The Federal Government yesterday bemoaned Nigeria’s over dependence on imports for its daily needs including food items.

Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh said it was ridiculous that the country spends over $18m annually on importation of tooth picks.

Asked how he arrived at the figure, he said it was from a recent Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) report, stressing that it was pathetic that Nigeria was spending its hard earned resources on non-essential items. The Minister reeled out some scary statistics on the nation’s food import situation for example; where over 7 million tons of rice consumed annually in the country were imported from Thailand, India and Vietnam.

Ogbeh said: “We depended on Thailand, India and Vietnam to feed us with rice, we depend on other countries to feed us with tomato paste; we depend on others even for tooth picks at the cost of 18 million dollars per annum. We depend on Brazil for sugar; and we also depend even now on other countries for pepper and so on. We import 5million eggs per a day from South Africa. We bring sliced potatoes from South Africa. We spend $600 hundred million in importing fish a year. There’s no reason why we can’t grow our fish here.

''We bring in milk and milk products to the tune of $1 billion dollars per annum because our cows don’t yield enough milk. One litre per a day and the meat you eat is as good as plastic because the cows walk too much. To walk from Maidugiri to Lagos is a bit of excessive exercise and when we spoke of special grasses to feed the cows, we got all the abuse in the world on the internet because those who don’t know about the subjects got involved.”

While he said the Buhari government was making efforts to reverse the trend, the Minister regretted that the country lacked enough machinery for food processing.”
“We don’t have enough rice mills even now that rice paddy is increasing in large volumes. We are behind schedule in our capacity to mill our rice. We don’t have enough mills to produce enough cassava starch for the upcoming textile industry,” he lamented.

Caseless:
listen to yourself. Is there anything that's ever been "implemented properly" in Nigeria?
