Beautifulday:
Then something is wrong with Nigeria system of production.

The imported rice are bought. At what price that the local counterparts can't compete favourably?

The imported rice are transported from host nation. Initiate logistics cost isn't available in Nigerian rice production.

The imported rice incurs clearing cost which Nigerian rice do not suffer.

The imported rice has more processing value than local rice. Processing cost

The big question.

How is imported rice cheaper than local rice

Local man is confused

Low yield, poor management, expensive energy, transportation?

Eniitankorede:
You are ignorant. Go and check their creators.

Yoruba ronu - no sense in the above

fijiano202:
please dont say this outside ooooo.. we are not in hitler german Era lol

Meaningless response as expected.

EDGEof2MORO:
China does not need to take over Taiwan because Taiwan is a part of China, like Hong Kong and Macau. It is as if Lagos state starts calling themselves a country and Nigeria is putting out statement that they will take over Lagos.

Or Biafra.

Eniitankorede:
Like Google or Telegram or Uber or TikTok?

Yes

bayplus:
How is Israel more valuable to China than Iran? Did Xi Jin Pin said that or you are doing your own conjecture?

A friend of my enemy cannot be my friend. What can Israelis offer China better than cheap oil China gets from Iran?

You seems to be very close to Xi Jin Pin.

You should check first before responding; don’t be Nigerian: loud and wrong. Besides America, Israel is the top tech nation. Iran has oil and nothing more. If you remove all Israeli tech from your life you’d be miserable. Go and verify

tishbite41:
So, the Iran has no Navy
Wow
So, the Strait of Hormuz is being blockaded by spirits and mermaids abi?!

It’s being blocked because there’s no insurance to cover ships given Iran’s drone threat. Iran has no ship in there and there’s no blockade.

Topman7:
Omo, Iran is just using drones to hammer them.

Iran has over 80,000 drones, and they are cheap but deadly enough to sink any American ship.

But they have not sink one ship. Meanwhile, Iran no longer has a navy.

Are you guys paid or just plain ignorant? If you’re paid then good.

HacheNoire:
What value is in Israel? Watermelon and Tomatoes?

What value does Israel have to offer outside begging from other nation? That country cannot even feed itself. It begs or steal everything.

All the tech in the world. Check before responding. You think even US ally for love? Almost all major tech is of jewish origin.

HacheNoire:
China is involved too!

Any calculative person should know! Iran not getting those targets individually. Coupled with the fact that Iran is using the Baidu GPS.

You’re clearly not calculating; if so you’d know Israel is far more valuable to China than Iran.

Mattswaggz:
The US has hundreds of military bases spread across the globe so this much is expected...... meanwhile Nigeria is a rich country (Natural resource wise) and poor country (Leadership and Citizens wise)......For Nigeria to grow and earn it's respect a majority of the people will have to think at a higher IQ rate and learn some basic morals like patriotism,honesty, Altruism, being more logical than religious etc but that is still far from happening as it stands.

Nigeria is not a rich country given its population vs resources. I don’t know where this idea comes from. Presidents like obasanjo even try to correct that nothing but people love the lie. Even if the funds are not stolen, the quality of the people will still make it a poor nation. No rich nation has this many illiterates.

Topman7:
Some reports are saying Netanyahu has fled to Greece..My goodness.


https://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026/03/01/netanyahu-fails/

You think he’s a president of a 3rd world country where your leaders decimate the land and go abroad for care. He’s a warrior not the keyboard type like you.

motayoayinde:
A sincere take here.
Most Nigeria are insincere.
But e go clear for everybody eye.

What liver — the entire military leadership is gone and the leader is dead on day 1. You call that liver I call that suicide. No sane country will escalate.

njokuuche77:
How long will this trial continue? One of the reasons corruption remains high in Nigeria is because cases like this take too long to conclude. When trials drag on for years, it sends a message that there are no real consequences.
Some public office holders take advantage of the slow legal process, filing endless appeals, using technicalities, and relying on delays, knowing that the longer a case lasts, the more likely people will forget or lose interest.
Justice delayed only encourages more corruption. If we truly want to fight corruption, cases must be handled faster and more decisively.

Who is we? The United Kingdom should fight corruption for you…

marlow1962:
Do the German government also buys used helicopters from other people for their own national security?

The German government is at least 20 times richer.

Racoon:
For you personal safety, you bought a new presidential Cadillac, presidential yatch and presidential jet. Then even going to service them abroad despite the rising costs of maintenance.

Now for the already beleaguered army you are buying worn out helicopters for armed insurgency? What kind of wickedness is that?

Those helicopters are worth 50 Cadillacs. You’re are not comparing correctly.

ibedun:
Igbo kwenu!

Una be enemy within …..not all but a greater percentage of una. Nigeria will not fail by the grace of God.

Nigeria is not succeeding either. This arrangement can never work. May you live long to confirm.

Reflect7:
You mean IGBOS in Texas?

Please be accurate.

Possibly, or middle-belt folks.

MgbakorUche:
Nigeria just pulled off the biggest act of economic rebellion since independence — and the West is not happy.
While most people argue about fuel prices, something deeper is happening:
Tinubu quietly ended the 40-year subsidy drain that bled ₦7 trillion yearly.
Dangote built a $20 billion refinery that can refine 650,000 barrels daily, ending our dependence on imported petrol.
Nigeria’s GDP is set to expand by $25 billion, and Africa’s fuel bill could shrink by $60 billion.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and Europe, who once sold us refined products are watching their market disappear.
Trump’s latest speech on Nigeria hides behind religion, but the real anxiety is economic sovereignty. A black nation controlling its own energy destiny.
Yes, there are labor issues, union battles, and billions owed to Chinese constructors — but that’s what revolutions look like: messy, loud, and unstoppable.

25 billion is chicken change. Dangote buys crude from America and sells. Nobody cares about some damn refinery. Nigerians in Texas are putting pressure on senator Ted Cruz to act on their behalf. Ted Cruz in turn is putting pressure on the us president to act concerned. If the terrorists kill 100000 people in Benue tomorrow, the us will do nothing because it does not care. This is just a pressure campaign; nothing more. Black country with its destiny that negotiates with killer bandits. Wake up!!!!

Segxydube:
And u think if he was forbidden the rumours will still be out there?

Dey play

You need to stop playing and read. The rumor was out there since 2023.

Segxydube:
The constitution didn't forbid him to contest
.. Learn

Section 137 does — Buhari amended it.

nwadiuko1:
can you quote that part of the constitution please?

Section 137(3): This subsection further clarifies that a person sworn in to complete the term of another president cannot be elected for more than a single additional term. This means an individual could not be sworn in a third time, even if one of their terms was only a partial one.

ediko5:
Your village constitution?

Abi the same constitution that made Fayose and Fayemi of Ekiti returned back for another term after leaving office ?

Section 137(3): This subsection further clarifies that a person sworn in to complete the term of another president cannot be elected for more than a single additional term. This means an individual could not be sworn in a third time, even if one of their terms was only a partial one.

As per ability he is qualified.. but the tribal precedent will be bad.. Jonathan suppose go hang himself looking at these..

I'm from old eastern region.. I will not forgive Jonathan... The neglect of his people was much... Soo much even basics

Jonathan did the same — Over 50% of the top positions were from the old eastern region: NEWSLopsided appointments: Northern elders blast critics, release list of Jonathan’s appointees

Kushites:
What do you expect Putin to say?

''If you invade Iran I will nuke you?''

That's not how international diplomacy works. Not everyone is crude like Trump.

He doesn't want to inflame the situation, but to de-escalate it. And the de-escalation is in Your interest.



Or are you thirsting for nuclear radiation?

Where is Putin now? US has dropped bomb.

Kushites:
ST PETERSBURG, June 18 (Reuters) - Russia is telling the United States not to strike Iran because it would radically destabilise the Middle East, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Wednesday, and Moscow said Israeli strikes risked triggering a nuclear catastrophe.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/russia-warns-us-not-help-israel-militarily-against-iran-2025-06-18/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

A country with the world's largest nuclear arsenal of 6,000 nuclear warheads, is telling you ''Don't you dare invade that country'', and you are still arguing?

I laugh in Cantonese...

There's a saying in my place that it was the refusal of the fly to take advice that made it follow the corpse into the grave.

If you like yourself, you better Pray Trump does not do something foolish, like invading Iran.

If that’s what you get from the link then I’m sure you didn’t pass jamb.

Kushites:
Onukwu.

Na the people wey train you poorly be Onukwu. He warned that it will destabilize the region, not that he’ll do anything about it.

Kushites:
You're using Ukraine to console yourself.

Russia will never nuke Ukraine, which it sees as Russian territory. Russia is a major ally - military and economic - with Iran, with billions of dollars worth of investments in Iran.

Russia will not sit idly by and watch America crush Iran.

Putin has warned them. You think Trump should disobey him?

You don't like your life, I swear.

Did you actually read the “warning”? With people like you, it can never be well with Nigeria.
