Even after the Kenyan youths showed us how it’s done, we are still dulling. The Labour leaders should mobilize 5 million youths to occupy the entire government 3 arms zone in Abuja.

Then we give the government 48 hours to agree on 200k minimum wage or we burn down everywhere.
That proves to you that Buhari and BAT’s wife were correct when they labeled Nigeria youths lazy.

Politics › Re: Northerners In Tinubu’s Govt Reduced To Choristers – Salihu Lukman by ElevationD: 3:49pm On Jul 01, 2024
This Salihu man should be ashamed of himself.
Since independence in 1960, the north has enjoyed a bigger percentage of power between them and the south.

In all the years with power, what did the northern leaders achieve, not just for the north, but the entire federation? This includes Salihu Lukman himself, who was a high ranking member of APC.

In all, they have left the north in abject livery, poverty, terrorism and banditry. One of the reasons for power rotation, is for all regions, zones and states to be well developed. Rather than leave legacies of development, the leaders have looted the economy, joined hands with bandits and terrorists, and reduced moved parts of the north to war zones. The leaders aid and abet kidnapping, killing and collecting of ransom, while stopping thousands of farmers from working on their fathers lands.

Tinubu is simply replicating the same thing that Buhari did. At a time, almost the entire security infrastructure of the country, were headed by northerners only. If Tinubu uses people that he trusts more, what’s the problem of Salihu?

Now that northern leaders out of position, they should let others who are in position in the south to use the opportunity to develop their areas.

Crime › Re: Bayelsa Man Bags 14 Years Prison Term For Raping, Impregnating Daughter by ElevationD:
He made sure that the younger brothers slept on the floor, while the girl slept on the bed. That way he could simply say “shiii” and continue his evil act of defiling his own biological daughter. A very evil father who was having carnal knowledge of his daughter right in presence of his sons.

Thankfully he got the jail time that he deserved, even though not enough, but placed a taboo on his daughter, who had a daughter with him.

What a very worthless father.

Education › Re: Five Teachers (degree Holders) Resigned After An ND Holder Was Made Principal by ElevationD: 10:30am On Jul 01, 2024
The proprietor chose experience over paper work. The school belongs to the person who chose who was truly needed and had served longer.

Oya now, they should use their degrees to set up their own schools, if it is so easy. Shior.

Why not go to the National Assembly and ask how many of them have that same ND, yet they do their jobs. The degree holders stand on queues for hours on end, collect bribes to vote for them.

Hopefully their positions have been speedily filled up with other interested people.

No more gangster life. No husband to marry . No children to bear. No life of peace any more. No more boyfriend to deceive each other. No way to touch guns or weapons anymore. Maybe she can use the experience to truly become born again in jail.

All na hustle sha.

By the way, when Nigeria movie industry go do film like prison break or 24? This is what I keep saying. Both in songs, movies, books etc., we only get mediocre stuff. In songs, you'll be hearing lyrics like "Come wetin dey worry you, I get money pass your papa o hmmn".

In the movie industry, you'll be hearing titles like "Heart of Fire", "Lagos husbands"... now see this one: "Lekki housewives". Is everything always all about love, family, relationship, cheating etc? I just don tire. Please engage your brains please. There is a site in Idanre where they tend to hear sounds from a caved rock. You can form a movie around that idea. There is abundance of fulani terrorists and bandits all the way from sahel down to lagos. Think of a movie that sheds light on how ammo runs illegally, espionage, hideouts, upper echelon conspiracy, crime fighting, crisis management, world politics, neo-colonialism, terrorism, unjust detentions, illegal mining / bunkery, even secession. Disguise it in such a way that it would pass the screening test but your viewers that have sense would know where you're going.

There is a current GMO agenda in Nigeria already in the works. Nollywood producers cannot think of a movie that would encapsulate the danger, knock-on effects and predictability of this agenda and how far-reaching its effects could be. No o. Instead at the dead of the night, they will be sending email to oldies like Rita Dominic or mercy Johnson that "Hey, we are about to shoot one movie in Lekki. Please can you play the role of a housewife or sugar-mummy? We estimate between 2 - 4 million for a cameo role if the numbers hit so-so- and so figure"
So easy to say.
Na people like you dey build castles in the air.
I go buy helicopter tomorrow. I go enter Emir palace with 2025 Range Rover sports. Mummy I promise you by this time next month to give you twenty million. Meanwhile no shishi. Na una dem dey ELENU!

Oh, they are easily known. They are the same everyday boys who met at the joints. They are the jealous and angry neighbours, school mates and enemies around the communities. They are boastful and never hide their deeds. Their friends expose them and they are easily arrested.

Crime › Re: Anambra Govt Rescues 5 Children Eating Raw Rice To Survive, Arrests Dad, Stepmom by ElevationD: 3:35pm On Jun 30, 2024
Very sad indeed. Moulding five bags of cement daily would fetch the young man twelve thousand five hundred naira daily independently. Many such young men have built houses of their own by just moulding blocks.

Thankfully the children have been rescued from the hands of the evil minded woman. A close examination would find out that the second wife initiated the sacking of the first wife, just to take over the man. The equally weak first wife, abandoned the children and walked away. She probably is from a very poor home, with nobody to fight for her.

Now government has come to her rescue and that if the children. That commissioner is one of the hardest working women in government in the country. I believe that she will ensure that the evil man and his equally evil second wife are prosecuted and made to serve prison time.

It’s so saddening that citizens, rather than move to save, use their cameras to take pictures.

Was it not possible for some of those bystanders to move to stop her?

Life has become such a struggle for many people worldwide. People have various reasons for committing suicide. However, it is a wrong move. Even in the most hopeless looking situations, there’s always a way.

May her family be comforted.

IDIOTS will NEVER learn!

LEAVE SINGLE MOTHERS ALONE!!!

Everybody knows they come with BURDENS qnd BAGGAGE you can only imagine. EVERYBODY knows! Everybody knows except for FOOLISH MEN who insist on being their saviour.

For instance, this one married a Single Mother that was previously married to a man that beat and bruatalised her. A man that constantly disrespected his wife and used her to practise Karate.

YET the new man expected to raise his seed without considering the TAINTED genes she carried.

LEAVE single mother's alone but they'll NOT listen, now this one is stuck with a RUDE 15-year old guy that areanged for his MENDING while also tarnishing his reputation by accusing him of grabbing her breasts.

Single mothers are a PLAGUE that'll continue to DEVOUR senseless men.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran Threatens Israel Over ‘planned Attack’ On Lebanon by ElevationD: 3:29pm On Jun 29, 2024
Should we expect the first nuclear weapons use in the middle east?

With policy of "nuclear ambiguity," Israel has neither confirmed nor denied possession of nuclear weapons. Would the Iranians like to try it out with the mother of all battles coming up in the Middle East?

I think it is no longer a secret that Israel possesses nuclear capabilities and if the country finds itself in a dangerous situation that threatens its existence, such weapons would be deployed.

It has long been the wish of Iran and its proxies to wipe Israel away from the face of the earth. With such existential threats, will the Israelis not respond in kind against Iran and its proxies?

Hopefully all of them can find some common ground to resolve their differences. Hamas must get to the table to resolve the differences. Israel must agree with the two state resolution, recognizing the state of Palestine. Hezbollah too must keep the required 10 miles behind the blue line and cease firing rockets daily into Israel.
Politics › Re: Band A: Textile Factories In North Collapsing Over Lack Of Power — Labour by ElevationD: 2:39pm On Jun 29, 2024
mrvitalis:
You import the textile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My writing clearly stated that... Why it's

impossible for us to produce textile cheaper than we import it ( lack of comparative advantage) ...thats impossible....that's my whole point!!!!... How could u miss that

Our cottons are too efficient , textile are too small .....we have complex lack of comparative advantage... It can't work ... So using locally produced textile renders the whole garment industry comparatively disadvantaged too

I gave an example of Bangladesh import 17.5 billion dollars worth of textile but exported 54 billion dollars worth of garments
The biggest producers of textile in the world started from somewhere. China which accounts for over 50%, for example, started from somewhere. The same goes for the likes of India, Pakistan, Brazil and Mexico.

Our government must create the enabling environment for businesses to thrive. That’s what happened to those countries and there they are today, with the likes of Bangladesh, whose GDP is lower than that of Nigeria importing their textiles.

As of 2010, Nigeria was Africa’s leading producer of cotton and the 12th largest in the world. We must then wonder why right in the face of our leaders, that industry has gone under. Industries must not be allowed to suffer in this manner. Nigeria had some of the biggest textile industries nationwide up till the return to democracy.

Rather than kill them, as already stated, government must put policies in place to help industries grow, make our textiles internationally competitive once again, create jobs and grow the economy.

Bros there is what we call theory of comparative advantage

It's impossible for us now to produce fabric cheaper than China, India and turkey... This people have invested 100s of billions of dollars over years in this sector trying to catch up now is not only going to be expensive but the market is saturated

Garment industry is something we can dominate especially supply to Europe n America, our labor is cheap, we have already trained man power, proximity to target market and others

Only problem is cost of fabric it's too high because they are taxed at import if we remove that our garment industry would compete very well across the globe

Garment market is a far far bigger market yhat textile and we have far far more advantage in garment

So what exactly don't u get
Garments are produced from textiles. Textiles refer to the raw materials used to create fabrics, such as fibers, yarns, and threads.

Textiles are the beginning and garments are the final products made from them.

If you kill the textile industries, where will you get garments from? I just cleared it up for you above.

What I do not get from you brother is why the textile industry must be killed. Can you proceed with the above already defined for you?

Hope you can read? Read it again slowly
I complete read your initial comment. I have read it again and again and I tell you that your theory is not in line with the realities.

You cannot say “kill the textile industry”, or close down textile mills. Have you wondered why prices of their products are high? Have you taken into consideration the negative effects of certain government policies? Textile industries contribute to the GDP and closing them down would impact on the economy. Have you considered that? How will Nigeria attain self sufficiency when textile mills are closed, just as others shutting down operations already? Why do we talk about production as a means of growing our economy, when you close down textile mills? Have you considered job losses? How can you product garments, when the companies that produce the fabrics are closed? Have you considered the impact on the economy?

Those are some of my reasons for disagreeing with your position.

This textile industry is costing Nigeria 200 billion dollars a year in garment industry, which can function because local fabric are too expensive and imported fabrics are taxed too high... So garment produced in Nigeria can't compete internationally or even locally

Why can't people see it.. The textile are failing because they are too expensive compared to imported once even after tax


Kill the dam textile industry, give grant to garment industry to flourish... We are closer to Europe n America than Bangladesh, Pakistan and indea

Realistically we have the manpower and cheap gas Nigerian garment factory can bring in 200 billion dollars year if fully done right

Worse case 50 billion dollars but the textile industry must be killed first and duty free fabric allowed

Bangladesh imported 17.5 billion dollars worth of fabric last year and exported nearly 50 billion dollars worth of garment... That' a net of 32.5 billion dollars

This is the same rubbish happening in steel allow steel import... Ajokuta would never be viable it would never be competitive we missed that chance ship has sailed
So garment industry would be running on water instead of electricity? Kill the textile industry and kill the use of electricity? In this age of economic crisis and very poor salary, you choose to send the few employed out of jobs?

Did you read their complain at all? Let me remind you that the issue is about the high cost of electricity. They used to spend 30 m on average monthly, and that’s aside from diesel cost monthly when there’s no electricity. Factories purchase diesel in trucks monthly to keep running. Government must by all means encourage the industries that are presently thriving. Enabling environments and reasonable conditions must be made available for them to thrive.

So government should shut down factories that pay their taxes and other charges, contributing to the growth of the economy? Government too should allow the import of foreign garments, helping the economy of other countries to grow?

Kill the textile industries? Where would garments come from? The moon? What would be used to make the garments? Which industries do you expect to produce the garments? Who would make the fabrics used to produce the garments?

So you expect Nigeria to import finished products from Bangladesh for example, leaving the basic, in this case fabrics, to rot? Have you been to any textile factory before? The Indians and Bangladeshi produce their textiles and garments, jealously protect the industries, promote them locally and export them to those who are interested worldwide. Can Nigeria not protect local textile industries, promote them and export to make such money? Our textiles are the best in West Africa. You can check that.

Nothing has happened to Ajaokuta, except corruption. Take it off the hands of government officials, take away bureaucratic bottle necks, privatize it completely and see success with it. Dangote plans to go into steel production next year. Do you expect it to be a failure as the ones established with public funds? Nitel was a disgrace until privatization came. Today we all enjoy telecommunications.

I am sorry, but I do not agree that textile industries should be killed.
