Lol, what's this rip guy feeling like, if we start listing these tiny businesses you are bragging about here, do you think this thread would contain us . Never knew Kenyans can brag like this with their oversized coats.

They are even listing Indians .
I think there was a whole list (almost non ending list) from Nigerians here in 2017 when Nigeria was recovering from recession in 2016 (at a time many companies had closed down). Imagine if we start listing all these kind of industries now (of only blacks oo, no Indian), that would be futile in my opinion and a waste of time.

Germany out again like in 2018. So much for "The Germans have the right mentality". Costa Rica even messed up the German's goal difference.

Football no be anybody's mate, abeg.

Football is definitely the most competitive sport in the world. Just too many countries in the world can play football.
It is therefore no coincidence that the FIFA World Cup is amongst the top two most watched sports tournament in the World.

obaaderemi:
Even Germany. Costa Rica aimed to send them out.
Let's see what you do against Uruguay tomorrow.

At a time, it looked like both Germany and Spain were going out .

nairanaira12:
According to your fellow shameless liar, Buhari formed OLAM.

In case you are too daft to know, OLAM is a private company.

Involvement of Private Companies in nation building shows a Government is working.
Government job is just to make business climate comfortable for private companies to invest, regulate them and sometimes partner with them in a PPP.

tesppidd:
And I swear there are millions of Nigerians who look you in the eyes everyday and tell you;

"Mention one thing Buhari has done, mention just one, one! only one!!"

And they say this so confidently.


SMH so much hatred.

Millions bro. You keep hearing: Buhari has failed, Buhari has failed, take me back to 2015 .

Dangote introduced HOWO product into Nigeria, he didn’t stop there, he made sure he owned the brand in Nigeria( assembly plants and trained technicians). Today Howo is one of the most acceptable brands when it comes to tipper heavy duty vehicles. Technology transfer.

Dangote...The Real G.O.A.T

If Tinubu win Lagos and Kano, wetin come remain again?

Yeah I think it's only:

Nigeria, Morocco, Kenya, South Africa.

Now you're getting my point.
Any president that want to remove poverty in nigeria can do so the easy way.
Reduce tax, remove import restrictions and reduce tarrif seriously. Imported goods becomes very cheap it floods the markets and seriously crash food price and inflation.
Invest seriously in health and education. Infrastructure will suffer (atleast we can manage the infrastructure we have. Yes roads are poor but despite this there no where you can't reach in Nigeria, we have a very large network of roads though untarred).

When you do this Nigerians will sing your praise but Nigeria(country) will curse you.
It's like using painkillers to treat appendicitis, in the long run it'll burst and painkillers will not be enough.
But taking the hard way out just like India will result in less effect on poverty reduction with more focus on industrialization and infrastructure in the short term but on the long term it might pay off (buhari kind of policy).

Exactly my thoughts.

fxexperts:
Imagine this man who doesn't know anything concerning oil mining license in Nigeria. What majority of you lots of Nigerians know is how to fvck and have children nothing more. Who told you Nigeria government is paying rent to the British government you all can twist fact to show your level of hypocrisy and bigotry. For your info these oil company like shell brings in their resources to search for oil in Nigeria and when they found oil the government pass the land use act decree that all land belongs to the government and all mineral resource belongs to the federal government, so they enter into partnership deal with this oil coy to rill the oil and the proceeds is shared between those parties 40 to 60. 60 percent for the government through NNPC and 40% to the oil companies like shell.
you are not ashamed that up till now you all cant drill your own oil in your land you are all just failures i swear.

But NNPC drilled the one they just discovered in the North.

Simeonjoe1:
Walahi people always bashing the British.
Even though they get their own for body if the British stayed longer we would be another south Africa type in the making. Imagine British staying till 1990's.
Using our oil for massive infrastructure growth just as they did with mere cocoa and rubber.
It will be a situation of chop I chop, British chop 60% Nigerians chop40% (which is way better than the over 90% consumed by corrupt leaders).
Walahi we would have easily been the best country in Africa competing with the likes of India with massive infrastructural growth.

Nigeria has to be sold this time to the Chinese

British actually stayed from 1897 to 1960. We weren't better in terms of education and development generally. We were only more innocent and naive.

Naajjii:
My fellow Nigerians what is the point of opening this thread? I feel embarrassed each I see this thread.What is the point arguing with Kenyans back and forth about who is better, richer or whatever. Despite bad leadership we got over the years and poor management of our resources, what is Kenya compare to Nigeria?. All of you engaging these Kenyans are embarrassing us.

I think I would agree with you. Although I come here not necessarily to drag the Kenyans but to share and receive information no matter how little.

The new face of Abuja
To compare any East African city to Abuja is a grave insult.

The driver said one can get a good meal such as a plate of rice with cow meat/beef in Abuja local restaurants for about 500-600 naira. Now if we want to use the black market that's below 1 dollar and even in the official rate, you are talking about 1 dollar 20 Cents.
Food in Abuja is definitely cheap due to it's proximity to the North I guess.

The West Africa trains will be assembled in Nigeria in this new train assembly factory in Ogun State

This particular project began in 2019 I think. Thank God it's now completed.

Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON)[2] is the state-run defense corporation of Nigeria and operated by the Nigerian Armed Forces. It is responsible for the production of defense equipment and civilian products.

It makes licensed copies of the Mills M36M (M36) handgrenade, Browning P-35 (NP-1) pistol, Beretta M12 (PMG-12) submachine gun, Beretta BM59 and FN FAL (NR1 Model 7.62) battle rifles, FN MAG (GPMG) machinegun, and RPG-7 (RPG) rocket launcher. The OBJ-006, a copy of the 7.62mm AK-47 assault rifle, is produced by DICON in 2006.[5]

DICON has recently procured rights to manufacture a copy of the Polish FB 5.56mm Kbs wz.96 Beryl assault rifle, possibly to replace the FAL and/or AK-47 in service.[6]

From 2012 to 2019, DICON and Marom Dolphin signed an agreement to establish a joint venture to produce ballistic vests.[7] In 2013, DICON officials denied allegations that Nigerian-made ballistic vests from DICON factories are made under substandard conditions.[8] After the contract expiration with Marom Dolphin, DICON Special Equipment was birthed, which is a collaboration between DICON and Imperium Industries Nig. Ltd.

The DICON Special Equipment specializes in the production of bulletproof vests, Helmets, Coveralls, Uniforms and other related items.

On October 3, 2019, DICON unveiled its first armored vehicle, known as the Ezugwu MRAP.[9] The MRAP was made in collaboration with the Nigerian Army Command Engineering Depot.[9] It was named after Major General Victor Ezugwu, who was known for his efforts in fighting against Boko Haram, [10] who is the director-general of DICON at the end of 2018.[11][12] This was publicly shown in a ceremony by Chief of Army Staff Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai at the Abuja International Trade Fair Complex during a Nigerian Army Day event.[9]

In the coronavirus outbreak in 2020, DICON has produced ventilators, face shields, face masks and hand sanitizers.[13].

Then Obi that left money in the account una de vex put. Gosh, I wish i can change my roots from being a Nigerian. Many are demented..una de vex say Obi leave money for account ..Now una de vex say Kwankwasor leave debt. So which is better? Yeye fowls

External debt in Obi's time increased from 18 million dollars to 43 million dollars.
Also we don't actually know how much Obi left in the account. Was it 75 Billion naira or 10 Billion naira?

rvp20182:
Infant industry must be protected for a limited time period. That almajiri is my position. Ideally you want to reduce protection tariff annually until it's zero rated. For it come at the cost of the consumers and economy.

Otherwise, you will create One Dangote and 133 million poor Nigerians. The poverty capital of the world. Poverty has increased while Buhari is talking propaganda about rice and import substitution

India with 1.5billion people have reduced their poverty now to about 80M.

I shouldn't be responding but there is a difference between multidimensional poverty and poverty matrix used mostly all over the world.

The common poverty matrix used, measures poverty at below 1 dollar a day but this doesn't do us justice anymore because of the purchasing power parity especially if you want to consider the black market. 1 dollar is 761 naira at the black market. 761 naira a day in Kebbi state (inspite of inflation) can still do a lot for the market woman and rural farmer there, and these are also the set of people with the highest population in Nigeria. Even in Lagos (Nigeria's most expensive city, 761 naira would still get you a local meal but this is impossible in the U.S and most of Europe). Hence measuring poverty by the American dollar doesn't help us measure poverty properly.

With multidimensional poverty, you measure several factors such as access to electricity or maybe internet, education, adequate water supply etc. They could be just content in their own way but lack access to some basic amenities like primary education or good water supply. This is why the majority in this data are said to be children.

The data taken was based on a broad sample of about 60,000 persons. It was estimated that 27 million out of the 133 million are in urban areas while 106 million are in rural areas.

It's an ongoing process, the more data the Nigerian NBS has, the more the data is updated from time to time but the NBS has abandoned the old and usual way of measuring poverty.

I thought one idiot said Kenya is a free market that allows competition.

Even America and China did not begin their development by practicing so called free market. We delude ourselves sometimes especially the rvp2018 guy.

Rice again?? Buhari why?

Egypt signs 2-year deal with Tiamin Rice to import milled rice from Nigeria after the completion of this 600MT mill in Bauchi by Changzhou Techgen of China . This is the most modern mill project in Nigeria and was financed by Jaiz Bank through a CBN intervention scheme.

Changzhou Techgen Engineering built it to be the most advanced in Nigeria that can only be topped by that of IMOTA in Lagos when it’s launched by Sanwo-Olu next year.

onuman:
Be ready for improvement if you don't ask. Some of you Tinubu urchinss reason like toddlers.

Insults, that's all you have. Answer the question:
If you are running a finance firm, do you ask for the source of finance from all your clients? Olodo.

So because Kenya went to their first foreign mission, they are now a military superpower . The delusion is unbelievable

rvp20182:
UN peace keeping. Kenya were in Europe, Asia and name them.
Please defeat Boko Haram
And we might respect you.

What is there to defeat again in Bokoharam? It's just like saying defeat hide and seek armed robbers or thugs.
Even the ISWAP who are ISIS in west Africa have had all their top generals they send to the lake chad taken down by airstrikes.

Small nyansh sabi shake sha

Omo see continuous FDI.

rvp20182:
I only care about how much nigerian farmer is pouring per acre compared to asian farmer.
it normaly 5 times less.
And that is where we need to focus on.
Improve productivity.
Not add more farmers and acreage like Buhari
But make same farmers produce more

But they are producing more. Read again, even our finance minister who is always realistic in her speeches (perceived to be negative), openly said we produce most of our food.

Nigeria’s small farms produce 80 percent of the total food. This is the leading African country in farming because it has the highest levels of productivity and profitability in this particular sector. However, agriculture may remain affected by conflicts and climate and weather events; and the non-oil-non-agriculture will likely continue to struggle in the face of sluggish demand and constrained private sector credit growth.

rvp20182:
You can talk productivity when you dont apply enough fertilizers. That is NO 1 indicator.

You just cap what you know nothing about. 3 Fertiliser firms in Nigeria are probably bigger than majority of all Kenyan companies.

obaaderemi:
We're still far from that but we are working steadily towards reducing imports of wheat.

I think what he meant to say is that Nigeria produces about 80% of her food in general.
