chris365: are you daft or what? which country will give up it's mining rights and doesn't collect royalties? you must be a learner.FACT!! Nigerias oil will run dry by 2030, if you don't know that then am afraid. That's why Nigeria is moving away from depending much on oil, they are busy preparing themselves for post 2030 by exploring new avenues of survival. |
chris365: just cause your leaders don't have a clue of how to take control of your mining industry doesn't mean we can't. Nigeria has come up with laws to squeeze oil majors to give up their assets to NNPC and we still remain the biggest oil producer in the continent. your government should come and learn from us.Angola is Africas largest oil producer from this month and will topple you officially by next year as Africas largest oil producer. Why do you have to Nationalise your banks that is not a clever move. All modern schools of political thought, from Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin on the left to Frederick Hayek and Milton Friedman on the right , agree on at least one thing : private entrepreneurship is the driver of modern economic development. Have you ever ask yourself why is America and UK having so big economies and that was not derived from nationalisation. Those nationalisation policies will suck Nigeria dry and it will only be your politicians who will be getting richer. |
chris365: just cause your leaders don't have a clue of how to take control of your mining industry doesn't mean we can't. Nigeria has come up with laws to squeeze oil majors to give up their assets to NNPC and we still remain the biggest oil producer in the continent. your government should come and learn from us.That step is already too late, you could have done that when you had 60 years more of your oil reserves. We are cleaver because our government is owning royalties and mining rights. So, we are gaining revenues without having to take responsibilities of paying salaries, benefits, medical insurance, pensions etc of labour and costs of fuels and machinery to mine. |
chris365: ask them if the they control their mining industry. Nigeria is looking to own majority in our mining industry and it's working according to plan.Nationalisation is not always the answer, it has failed many countries. Just make that research, you will come to understand how does it link to corruption and finally fail the whole country. |
chris365: this has to be a joke coming from a military gate man. how secretive is US use of drones? humor me some more pleaseAmerica will never come open to the world to admit that they are using drones to spy on people. The US drones were used and are still being used to spy on BH. That is information that is hidden from the public but we all know why those drone were deployed to Niger at the first place. They were not on tour but on a serious business which involves rooting out BH from their holes. Why is it that after they were deployed SOE was declared? |
solomon111: The southafrican economy is hugely dependent on the minning of gold.You are a joke, South Africa has more platinum than gold. Do you even know that platinum has more value than gold. It seems as if you are backwards with everything affecting your country, because experts from various oil giants companies have estimated Nigerias oil to run dry by 2030. Unless Nigeria decrease their annual production, perhaps that can help their oil to last a bit longer, but will not reach the target. Oil is measured in relation to the millions of barrels which one country produces yearly compared to what is left on its reserves. Oil experts have estimated that by 2026 most of oil investors in Nigeria will be pulling out because the little that will be left will not have any good news to their pockets. |
Nigerians are indeed suffering from a gene associated to Chimpanzees of beating their chest. Patriotism has gone them into their heads and blindly enclosed their minds in a cocoon. In 15 years to come, Nigeria will not have oil left which is currently their main source of revenues and they will be forced to rely on agriculture, Natural gas and Uranium. Uranium and Natural gas does not make you rich, platinum, gold and oil is. Niger which produces the most uranium in the world is among the poorest countries in Africa. Uranium is the expensive mineral, nobody can dispute that but Nuclear proliferation poses a serious danger to the world which limit its projects from flourishing. Infact, I am even getting worried when SA wants to build more of nuclear reactors because accidents happens most of the times, ask Japan. The enermy can also attack such installations which can result in radiation that will eventually kill multitudes. |
agaugust: fuel does not mean only petrol...you dummyWho said fuel only mean petrol? Even water can be referred to as fuel. |
In terms of research conducted by Citigroup, American banking group, SOUTH AFRICA IS THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IN TERMS OF MINERAL RESERVES. [miningmx.com] -- South Africa is the world's richest country in terms of its mineral reserves - worth $2.5 thousand billion - according to research by the American banking group Citigroup, reports Bloomberg. The Citigroup report, which was compiled by its mining analyst, Craig Sainsbury, says that Russia comes second after South Africa, and Australia third. The research states that South Africa, Guinea, the Ukraine, India and Kazakhstan all have mineral reserves unrelated to energy worth more than $200bn. Mines in these countries also all have average life spans of more than 100 years at current rates of exploitation. Countries like Guinea and Kazakhstan with high resource values but limited mining activity could see greater demand from the world's biggest mining companies and foreign wealth funds, the report continues. Sainsbury says Chinese mines have an average 17-year life of mine, according to surveys by the US Geological Survey system. Sainsbury says it's no wonder that China continues to invest massively in metals and mining, Bloomberg reports. He says that China is expected to continue investing in copper and iron ore, together with energy resources like coal and uranium. Of South Africa's $2 500bn worth of reserves, $2 300bn resides in the platinum group metals. Russia's iron ore reserves are valued at $794bn - more than the Australian iron ore reserves, which are estimated to be worth $737bn. Iron ore reserves in the Ukraine, according to Sainsbury, are worth $510bn, and Guinea has bauxite (aluminium ore) worth $222bn. In dollar values Guinea, South Africa, India, the Ukraine and Kazakhstan are the countries that under-produce the most in terms of their reserves, says Sainsbury. India will need to increase its domestic production rates, especially in light of its economic upturn. But bureaucracy and national protectionism will probably scare off any foreign investors, the report declares. http://www.miningmx.com/news/markets/SA-richest-country-in-the-world.htm |
agaugust: nigeria is the richest country in africa in terms of mineral reserves.Congo is, even United Nations knows. Before your deployment we are normally briefed that DR Congo is the richest country in Africa in terms of minerals. You go to heaven or hell, Congo remains the first, followed by South Africa and not some hogwash research conducted by Agaugust at his back yard. Under that link which I gave before, Uranium was among the minerals listed under Nigeria, but still they could not come any close to minerals discovered in Congo. Congo will become the richest country in Africa only if there can be peace in their land. That is one country that God really blessed. |
agaugust: drones need fuel to keep flying, drones need a land base to operate. satellites stay 24 hours a day in space and dont need any landing base.Drones use electrical motor s.tupid. They have long moved from using hydrogen fuel which enabled them to fly upto 48 hours to electricity which has proven to last longer. Is only a fool who will use SAMs to fight drones, because drones are cheaper to build compared to missiles. You will miss drones hundred a times with your missiles and as a result wasting your missiles for nothing for something that you cannot even see with your n.aked eye. |
agaugust: .Nigeria will never even own a single nuclear weapon. Those are just dreams. |
NaijaPikinGidi: Brainless fool. You like to be spoon-fed like a baby? Use whatever is left of your brain!! Your EFF movement is shopping around already for support spiritual financial and otherwise in preparation for landgrabs!What is it with you and baby Malema. Those who own the land work it and produce plenty of food. So what is your problem? |
agaugust: sorry sir, you are very wrong....american drone are in niger republic capital city of niamey.....nigeria did NOT use any american drone against boko haram, we use our own home made amebo drone plys spy balloons and satellite ...go d.ie of envyAmerica is very secretive in the use of drones, they have helped Nigeria. Finish and Klaar |
Read what the expert says about spy satellites: Reconnaissance satellites fly four miles a second, |
agaugust: its true south africa has no satellites, thats why you dont know how they operate....You can have thousands of satellites but they won't help you to win the war. Drones can undoubtedly help you to win the war. There is also a new technology that has been developed of blinding the satellite by using highly powered lasers to blind satellites. Your satellites have failed you in BH operation, had it not been through the US help you would have been struggling by now. Chezzzy!!! |
agaugust: i dont care about stories, i only care about realities of the battlefield action. most drones are not stealth, and even the few that are, they still get seen by powerful countries like nigeria that has camera spy balloons that fly far above drones.....and powerful radar will pick up a stealth drone showing small signature. when a drone fires weapons, its presence if revealed if it was hidden by stealth.Bwahahahahaha!! You must be the biggest joke of Nairaland. Infact you are the moemish of the year, because your ballons and even your satellites are too slow to have the capability of seeing our drones. Satellites can easily be studied by expert to locate their position at that very time. Satellites all have channels to travel with just like planes have routes to avoid collision. We know when will satellites pass a certain points and at what time and once they pass it will be difficult for them to come back. |
South Africa can destroy all Nigerias air defence just by the use of only drones. Those mokopa missiles will destroy all those Rolands within minutes until Nigeria have nothing left. |
agaugust: think before you post comments.It shows that you haven't read the link I have attached to understand the whole thing. Drones are difficult to be noticed, imagine a plane which is bigger than a house flying 20 000 metres above the sky, how difficult is it to be seen with a naked eye. Drones are very small, not even the size of Agaugust and when they fly high they will be difficult to be noticed by your soldiers. Spy satellites can easily be deceived by the enermy due to their channelled movement from the North to the South pole. Drones armed with mokopa missiles will pose a very serious challenge to Nigerian Army. No wonder the world is against the use of unmanned drones because you will be killed from the very far distance by unknown enermy. That will be the madness of the highest order, fighting drones with SAMs. SA has more drones than all missiles that Nigeria have on their arsenal. |
Have you ever ask yourself why would America use spy drones instead of their most expensive spy satellites which are orbiting the earth on the outer space. Does it have to do with the fact that people have now developed the skills to beat spy satellites or does it have to do with the fact that their use become almost useless and is fading away by the day. More news below: http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/12/drones-nuclear-spies/ |
agaugust: nuclear non-proliferation treat is a piece of paper not binding for life, you can sign today and withdraw from it tomorrow. FACT !!!Your spy satellites are just the white elephant. Boko Haram was spied on by American drones which also helped to root out BH position and their Anti-aircraft guns. http://www.punchng.com/news/us-drones-spy-on-boko-haram/ Your satellites cannot reach between thick jungles and bushes, it was through the clandestine operation which was conducted by America that BH camouflaged weapons were revealed. Meanwhile, drones can fly upto 24 hours without solar reserves. Solar only helps to recharge the stand-by power. Drones have both thermal and night vision cameras and some can even pick up sounds from far distances. |
agaugust: only you thinks that CIA is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent like God in heaven....we the real american citizens have a different opinion after the false information on Iraq. you are stuck in your south african local homeland, try to travel outNigeria is your home, you must go back home and make Nigeria proud. South Africa gives me everything and why should I run the whole world like a headless chicken or as if there's a famine in SA. |
agaugust: CIA gets fed with data sent from all over the world by people they cannot validate their data/messages, CIA information about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was very wrong and the whole world laughed at the foolish CIA of america, we hate them here, they led us into a foolish war with wrong information that was posted to them bu so called CIA sources in Iraq, the man apologized to us later in america for misleading CIA and CIA mislead the whole of americaCIA information is credible, all encyclopaedias use or derive their information from the world fact book. World renowned professors have used information derived from World fact book to compile their thesis and even wikipedia, World Economic Forum, International Monetory Fund and World bank do the same. You claimed to have studied your MBA in the US and that directly makes you the product of the world fact book. So, tell me if you want any information about economic indices of any country for your research would you not make use of world fact book which you can even buy or access on the net. CIA is updated by media at large, Sipri, government gazettes of various countries, world stats, world health organisations, etc. It has lot of people who are paid to gather all that information together to be used by not only America, but many governments when they formulate their foreign policies. Their information is updated from time to time. |
Henry120: Mumu!!! You seem to be getting dumber and dumber by the minute. Was nigeria SAT X built by SA?Sat X was just a slap on the face. It was reported it was built by Nigerians but when the truth surfaced it happened to be foreigners. |
Zeus_Ayo: SNigeria has small traces of Uranium, but that is too small to be mined. Many countries have small traces of something but the problem is that not all of such minerals can be mined due too its quantities which will not bear any profit because investors will lose a lot of money in digging alone. Do you know that the whole world has diamonds, but in some countries diamonds are too few to form a serious big mining project. Niger which is Nigerias neighbour is rich in uranium but not Nigeria, I cannot deny that Nigeria has small traces of uranium everywhere throughout its six states. |
South Africa does not make noise just like Nigeria by beating their chest, they act and make their dream come possible. South Africa to build yet another Nuclear Power Plant. http://m.engineeringnews.co.za/article/sa-looks-nearly-set-to-start-new-nuclear-power-station-building-programme-2013-04-05 More nuclear power stations: http://m.news24.com/news24/Multimedia/South-Africa/SA-to-build-nuclear-power-stations-20130814 |
zaandrew: you mean first african countryThanks Andrew! I meant to say African country, but the problem is that am typing fast that's why I am always likely to miss some words. |
South Africa is the first country to ever produce its locally built satellite and launch it. All of Nigerias satellites were bought from the market and there is nothing better about them, they are not proudly Nigerian. |
agaugust:Why are those satellites failing to pin down BH. So what about SA which is thousands of miles away. Satellites up in the outer space cannot do anything to me nor even kill me. Tell me about solar empowered drones which can stay on the sky for many days and which have the capability to kill. Moreover, Nigeria will never, never and never have nuclear weapons, they are among countries which are against nuclear proliferation. |
NaijaPikinGidi: Juvenile talk! An inconsequential 14% of all land in South Africa is what your government can boast of ... whereas foreigners (including NigeriaLand is a private property even in Nigeria it is, so what is your point? White people do not own 86% of land, there is a considerable number of blacks who own the land especially at former homelands (Bophuthatswana, Ciskei, Kwazulu, Trankei, Qwaqwa, Venda, Lebowa, etc) |
agaugust: CIA does not have any researcher on ground in nigeria to gather up to date date, even BBC does better on nigerian reports and statistics. try use better sources so your intellectual class can be better, mediocrity is a chronic disease among south african menYou are crazy!!! CIA is everywhere and their findings are even used as credible sources in academic research. Nigeria is not a rich country, finish and klaar. |
