We actually have a lot of business being poor.

LIke now, I am looking at the lithium we discovered. Where are the Nigerian investors that are willing to set up a factory to manufacture lithium batteries for export to other countries?

We want to sell it to china and share the money, and build nice houses filled with imported stuff.

It is not a matter of 'badly managed resources'. We don't use the resources to make stuff the world needs.

Remember how Ghana once sold a batch of cocoa for 2 billion dollars? One UK based company made products worth 17 billion dollars from part of that cocoa

We too wan share money, that is our problem. We want subsidised life, so that we can live in a nice house with imported stuff. And then we come and wonder why we are poor.

No nation will become reasonably self-sufficient by selling unprocessed mineral resources, and then be a net consumer of the finished good. I don't know why it's so difficult to force China to have their factories here if they're interested in it, assuming we don't have indigenous individuals that are capable of it. Politicians are always eager to make money quickly and steal as much as possible. No foresight whatsoever. The worse and the annoying part is that, they don't run their personal business that way.

Says a man that embezzled 16billion dollars electricity money

China will open the Huajiang bridge in June. It's the tallest bridge in the world. Very iconic that it will attract a lot of tourists. My next stop would be China after launch.
Why are I saying this? It costs less than $400 million to build it and was started in 2022.
Here in Nigeria, $16 billion was allegedly spent on electricity (almost the same amount it costs to build Dubai), and still not a single thing to point to.
Truly, we have no business being poor. It's just that few people who find themselves in privileged positions decides that it's better to steal almost everything in their care for their personal gains, than for national development. It's only in Nigeria that stealing has been institutionalized.

It was never isreali land & never would be. Even if ur demonic masters succeed in pushing the palastineins into exile. It would only be temporary. The isreali would eventually vacate that land wether they like it or not

Vacate it for Palestinians? Good luck on that.

Happy birthday Mama Ngozi. You raised such a wonderful woman.

Something is off about this guy for me. I don't really like him.

RingRoadMafia:
Keep quiet if you don't have anything to say.

Those old phones are limited when it comes to the type of modern day tech whatsapp would like to add to its apps. So what they do is, they phase out older phones gradually while also upgrading their apps to fit what the current phones can handle.

They have the capability to accommodate as much phones

Not necessarily. Those phone would still be able to do anything the latest android version does. They just targeted particular OS versions in their updates and the worse part is, no option to keep using the old version of WhatsApp and an update will mean the phones won't be able to run the app because of lower versions, not because they can't run it. Technology has not changed much since the last 5 years if you ask me

pillager:
Ouch, e pain am.

Emeka don crash out 😂

Ozuor

Mumu head slammer. I can't be having conversations with a black stone kisser. Just Bleep off my mention.

ViceGovernor:
Imagine the audacity... Judaea and Samaria where Jesus grew up, these terrorists and their sympathetic morons are calling it West Bank.

Leave the werey make he dey cap rubbish. The mumu Arabs called Palestinians claim West Bank is an occupied area, OK, occupied by who and are you indigenous to this place? Dem turn dodo in front of evidence.
They said the current Israelis are impostors, OK fine, but the land is still not for Arabs.

pillager:
West bank is an "area"?
Olodo oshi

What kind of goal shifting tactics is this?

Mumu where is West Bank and what's this thread about? Since you want to convince us West Bank is an occupied area that originally belonged to Palestinians, please do well to provide evidence that West Bank, which is part of the area called Judea in the Bible, belongs to the Arabs?

pillager:
Ozuor, this is like saying "since igbo language is the lingua franca of asian prisons due to their high populations in asian prisons, then igbos are from asian prisons"

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Werey omo

Ko ni da fun awon to bi e. Omo ale oloriburuku. No sensible Yoruba will support terrorists, except those that share the same pagan Arab moon god with them. Or what other reasons do you have for supporting terrorists if not because you think they're doing the work of Allah?
Onikure!!!

pillager:
Wait, who mentioned that Jesus is an Arab?

E be like say you madness don start, oya go dey advise Peter obi before you start biting us on nairaland ozuor 😂😂😂

So explain how Arabs are now indigenous to Judea since according to you, Palestinians are indigenous to West Bank? Do you even know the area they call West Bank?

CoronaVirusPro:
That’s the basis of our discussion.

For you to love or hate someone, you will have a trigger. As little as the way he talks.

I scroll through social media a lot. People only laugh at him. I have not seen real hate towards him.

Like I said, you must have a cause to love or hate anything. You can’t love or hate for nothing.

"As little as the way he talks" is one of the many reasons people can hate you for nothing. Some people can hate you because they don't like your face, not necessarily because you did anything wrong, which will be right if you say they hate for nothing.
I've also seen where someone was insulting him that he dressed in a particular way because he was too stingy to buy good clothes.
If you hate someone because something triggered it, not necessarily because they actually did anything wrong, you're hating them for nothing.

pillager:
Olodo, Palestinians are indigenous, DNA supportive of this.

Isrealis own the land, yet they are allergic to olive tree pollens 😂😂.

Worse still a black ass south eastern nigga is saying this, by this logic terrorist herdsmen own part of your 5 plot South east, ozuor

Please convince me Jesus was an Arab before providing evidence that Arabs are indigenous to Judea? Na so madness dey take start.

pillager:
Arabs are from Jordan?

Better stick to something else, this isn't your forte at all

Werey, are Jordanians not Arabs? Or you think "from the river to the sea" is just a slogan? It's a fact that most of those parading themselves as Palestinians are originally from Jordan.
Most of them still know where they come from in Jordan, they should go back there.

CoronaVirusPro:
At some point, you right. But even being an introvert, there should be a cause to hate someone. At least something to hold on to.

I will criticize anything and sell it that would make you reconsider. Hating on Kante on what basis.

He does not travel, mingle, or spends lavishly. Stingy when he helps his community with millions.

The only thing I found in an eventuality is his religion. Outside that, blank

I'm not saying I hate him. Just saying people can hate you for any reason no matter how nice you think you are.

pillager:
Wallahi, you're dull.

Give your phone to someone intelligent to read what you quoted to you again.

Hamas are fighting occupiers.
Boko haram kill Muslims too, what is your point?
Yeah, Fulani terrorist will always ask potential victims of they are Muslim or Christian, then spare Muslims.

Ozuor

Israelis are occupiers in their own land? The fact that they were on exile for centuries doesn't make the land any less than theirs. The so-called Palestinians should go back to wherever they came from.

pillager:
>"Unbiased"
Regurgitates biased view point.

You might as well give up your land for killer herdsmen for peace to reign now, idiot

Except that the land of Israel doesn't belong to Arabs. They have a choice to go back to Jordan where they're originally from.

Mkpurumiri induced murder. Say no to drug abuse.

CoronaVirusPro:
That’s fictional. Something must trigger the hate.


What could make you hate Kante? I am welcomed to what you think. For no reason is shying away.

What can you hate him for?

Seriously? I'll assume you don't interact much with people. Simply minding your business would make people think you're proud and hate you for it.

CoronaVirusPro:
Can be likened to Ngolo Kante.

But at a time, do people like Ngolo Kante have enemies. Nothing to hate about that guy. 🤣🤣🤣

You'll be surprised people will hate you for no reason.

Oh. Brilliant.

Just as the president is different from office of the president, right?

The office of the president will outdate anyone occupying it.

In all of this, nobody is talking about the punishment for unexplained wealth of politicians and some public servants.

We need a law to set a maximum wage to 10000% of the minimum wage (all allowances included) and any unexplained wealth you failed to declare you take office or after becomes that of the FG. We need to get very serious about reducing corruption in public office before it will reduce the country to nothing.

voortrekker966:
Please explain. How are they not the same? Is the man different from his office?

The man and the office are not the same entity if you ask me. You just separated them by making a distinction.

Disenfranchised:
Gone for where. A man I know car was stolen and retrieved after 3weeks.

Make the truck enter Kugbo first. They would have removed the parts piece by piece.

Buhari's support or otherwise that didn't help anyone in the last election? Make una forget that mannequin abeg.

Islam is one big joke by Momo, that people took seriously. Now the world has not known peace since the 7th century.

They already have the semi final in the bag. No way again for Madrid.

Seriously? You mean Real Madrid can't pull a Liverpool on Arsenal?

What a great father. Exactly what I'll do with my kids.

Adakintroy:
You telling me if road on highways are smooth, split with good lightening, and sign and rail protection we will still have this high amount of accidents. I don't think you understand this context of poor roads. May maybe you reducing it to bumps and holes

With all these in place, crashes are inevitable if drivers are still thinking it's OK to do something else while driving.
If you're driving and you're fond of making calls, eating, drinking or exceeding reasonable speed limits, you're one leg out of this world already.
Imagine you're on a call while driving 80 miles/hr on a road that's perfect by your definition. Your attentions are already divided (you might want to argue this, but you can't be doing something else while driving and still claim you're 100% focused). If you have a blowout or an animal unexpectedly crossed the road, you're as good as toast.

naijaking1:
This is called being smart by half!
After the breakdown in terms of regions, let's do another chart based on tribe. That's when you will notice that more than half of appointments from NC are Yoruba. So, this figure is deceiving.
After ministerial appointments, let's also look at parastatalls.

So we the Yorubas in the NC are no longer from the North? Una go cry tire.

LegendHero:
They need to print this and go to Ndume LG and paste it everywhere.

Imagine North West having the highest number of appointees and yet Ndume is crying everywhere that they are marginalizing the North.

The funniest thing here is that any position that a Southerner gets into, he is taking over from a Northerner. That means for those appointment that are not by Tinubu, the North will still lead there.

Ndume is in APC but his heart is in PDP. Baba dey move like opposition.

The second to the last paragraph summarizes the whole issue. They're only angry the president is correcting the huge inbalance. Imagine the president is not "nepotistic"? All you'll see is Hausa people everywhere in government. Are they the only ones in the country?

SkillfulHelper:
Our phones, earbuds, smartwatches, and tablets are essential to everyday life — but many of us are unknowingly harming them every single day. From overcharging batteries to ignoring system updates, these common habits can slowly destroy your gadgets.

Don't worry — it’s not too late to fix it.

Here are 7 smart (and simple) tech tips to keep your devices safe, fast, and lasting longer.

🔌 1. Stop Overcharging Your Phone Overnight
Yes, it’s convenient — but charging your phone to 100% overnight every night weakens your battery over time. Lithium-ion batteries prefer staying between 20% and 90%.

✅ Do this instead:
Unplug once it hits around 90% or use your phone’s optimized charging setting if available.

📲 2. Don’t Ignore Software Updates
Updates aren’t just for looks — they often contain critical bug fixes, security patches, and performance boosts. Skipping them puts your device at risk.

✅ Do this instead:
Schedule regular update checks and enable auto-updates if you tend to forget.

💾 3. Avoid Filling Up Your Storage to the Max
When your phone’s storage is 90–100% full, it slows down dramatically and increases wear on internal memory.

✅ Do this instead:
Regularly delete junk files, offload large videos to cloud storage, or invest in expandable memory.

⚡ 4. Using Cheap Chargers Can Be Dangerous
That bargain bin charger might save cash, but it could fry your device — or even start a fire.

✅ Do this instead:
Stick to original or certified third-party chargers from trusted brands.

📷 5. Never Forget to Clean Your Ports and Lenses
Dirt and lint in charging ports can prevent proper charging. Dirty lenses = blurry photos. It’s a simple fix we often overlook.

✅ Do this instead:
Clean with a soft brush, microfiber cloth, or canned air every couple of weeks.

🌐 6. Connecting to Any Free Wi-Fi You See? Stop.
Public Wi-Fi without proper security can expose your device to hackers and malware.

✅ Do this instead:
Use a VPN or stick to secure, trusted networks — especially when entering passwords or making payments.

🔋 7. Running Your Battery to 0% Daily Is Killing It
Consistently draining your battery to zero shortens its lifespan significantly.

✅ Do this instead:
Keep your charge between 20% and 80% for optimal health.


The truth is: most tech damage comes from what we don’t know. But now you do.

Treat your gadgets right, and they’ll serve you longer, faster, and better. Start changing these small habits today — your future self (and your wallet) will thank you.

I'm not sure, but I don't think number 7 is really feasible. Which phone gets to 0% before shutting down?
