To me to study English in Nigeria I would rather study French, reason because apart from all the benefits of studying English that can also be applied to French a French graduate can easily be a translator or a diplomat in Nigeria.

Yes there are English graduates being bankers, managers admin officer etc, but that is an anomaly, probably there due to some influence. The real place of English language graduate is the classroom, and if he add some value to his certificate, he can be a journalist or PR practitioner.

None of this has any analytical value . It is just GIST
This applies to the person you quoted,
It is sad that Nigerians don't know how to debate
Why bring God into it. Will that add value to what you said?
Whether it is true or not has nothing to do with what people eat.
It is very very possible.
The question is

IS IT TRUE?
Weh cannot establish or debunk it based on what you wrote.
China produces more per capita than us (assuming the claim is true)and they are the

NUMBER ONE IMPORTER OF RICE

you are just being theoretical, I am giving you a practical view and all you have I issue is my stating "God" by the way I live in the north, kaduna to be precise, I visit most of the state north west where this rice revolution is going on and obviously the figures are seriously exxergerated

GMBuhari:
Whoever cooked up this "Operation Burst" analysis needs to visit some states in the North where equivalent of small villages in some places is a rice farm



A pikin that's not seen another Father's farm always believes his father's is the largest

I am a northerner, and I live in the north, but the only thing that will set us free is the truth and the truth is some official are lying to the president about the rice production, at best we have done 10 % of the assertion. Sentiments aside

Lusola15:
Brother it is very possible let's assume that

An average person will eat 500g of rice atp a go
An average Nigerian will eat rice 250 days in a year or more
That is like 1.2bag a year

Not to talk of rice flour, tuwu and the rest

How much rice did you eat last December.

I do agree that the government may be giving us false data just to save face

I have a family of 5, my wife and I and 3 children, we also have a house help, to God who made me a bag of 50kg rice lasts for about at least 4 months, and we eat a lot though mixed with other food, so your assumptions may not be entirely right

There are approximately 200m Nigerians which I doubt, going by the op calculations of 300M bags it means each person in Nigeria eats 1.5 bags of rice, this includes infants and children. Do you alone as an adult eat 1.5 bag of 50kg rice in a year talkless of a child ? Is it only rice that people eat ?

I agree with op that the the government assertion that 15M metric tonnes were produced as a big lie.

Move to the tail part, most people that survived air crash sat at the tail part

Yuck, very irritating

He plays for the Flying Eagles of Nigeria and for Al Hally of Egypt.

that means he is good to have been the only Nigerian in the top 11, he should be called to the super eagle

Who is junior AJAYI, I have not heard of him and he is the only Nigerian in the finest 11

Owomkpo:
Also depends bro.
Some consultants earn up to 1.5 million naira a month.
When you also add money from private practice, it will be up to 2.5 million a month.
Those in the academia who can rise to be Provost can also earn up to 1.8 Million excluding private practice.
Now, if you go into core management like the Chief medical director and CMACs, we are talking of >4 million naira.

Most times, it is the younger doctors that are not really earning well, one of the main reasons they want to travel abroad.

you are right, I was shocked when a doctor friend of mine in year 2005 told me she earns 70k, when as a BO then I was earning a gross of about 250k, the lady later moved to UK, she is now doing very well, we met last year when her father died

Owomkpo:
Depends on the level of the doctor, the state he is working, the sector he is working and then if he is working for federal,state or local government.

For house officers: Average of 170k per month . Some states pay up to 250k like Akwa Ibom state

For Medical Officers: Average of 220k

Registrars: Average of 245k

Senior Registrars: Average of 300k

Consultants: From 500k upwards.

that means bankers earn better than doctors in Nigeria,because even a BO earns up to 400k monthly. managers earn over 1M, SM 1.3M AGM 1.5M some even far better than what I wrote

When I say bankers I mean core bankers not contract staff

Certainly this people are appointed not to work or service delivery but politics toward 2019, if not why appointing board members almost 3 years into your tenure. This should have been done within 2015.

Well better late than never, chop i chop government

Nonsense Nigeria total crude production from year 2000 to date is not up to 1 trillion dollar

Assuming we produce 2M barrel daily at a price $50 that means we make $100M daily now multiply that by 365 days it will be $36billion annually,

1Trillion ÷365billion = 27.7

Therefore From the above Nigeria can make 1trillion dollars in 27 years at price of $50. Which means we can only make 1tr from 1990 to date

Now average price of oil from 1990 to date is not up to $50, that is why I laughed when some people quote some figures. This happens in both APC and PDP .

Typical 419

Nigerian are suffering because oil price internationally has increased to over $60, personally I don't want oil to be above $50

Not a blink of blackout for the past 72hrs here in kaduna legislative quarter

Doyin2:
I think the illusion came from the misconception that every city mentioned in the bible, are for Christians.

But reality proves otherwise.The middle east is dominated by Arabs and Israel by Jews.

The biblical Egypt,Syria,Lebanon,Yemen,Palestine,Jordan,etc are Arabian nations.

Even East Jerusalem is dominated by Palestinians.

Truth is very bitter

for your information Egypt and indeed all north African countries were never Arabs in biblical times, Arab came and dominated them and made them arabic, in fact Egypt was Coptic and Greek before the Arabian conquest, so tomorrow if there is crises in Greece it is OK for them to come and reclaim Egypt as originally there

dallyemmy:
When your neighbors pack into your bedroom and claim ownership. It was never in history that Jerusalem was the capital of the Palestinians. That's how international court gave bakassi to Cameroon.

Yes Israel may have existed in the past, and was the birth place of Judaism, and indeed Christianity and Islam, the Jews later fled the area to different parts of the world, in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century people that followed Judaism were being persecuted mainly in Europe , one characteristic of the Jew is that they are every where and not own anywhere which led to the then world super power in collaboration with the Saudi ruling family to create a new country in the biblical site of Jews, which was in a country called Palestine, this was done without any acrimony, gradually all Jews irrespective of gene they all migrated to the new land of Judaism, but with time they became strong and started encroaching on other land more than the one given to them at creation. This is the genesis of the crises.

One of the pertinent question is are the present people genetically from the biblical Israel or just Judaism believers that moved there.

The logic some of you are giving is like saying black american can one day just decide to relocate to west Africa since most of their ancestors came from there and when they do, they later start o claim countries like Nigeria or Ghana as there own just because history said they are from there

Hope this will not be a typical case of "Trouble dey sleep yanga go wake am"

This seem like we Don enter one chance

Cougars, milf

I can't waste data

Propaganda by USA and south Korea against the north

OK pay from the excess revenue from the high price now.

Personally I don't want oil to pass $50 because is lead to petrol price increase under the guise of subsidy,it also leads to government extravagance.

How do reduce mobdro resolution to limit data consumption ? Is yes how

matrix199:
The UN should close down this country. It has failed woefully.


We're like a mermaid dying of thirst in her kingdom. How can we be an oil producing nation and still be an oil deficient nation? That's a paradox.


Here's how daft the immediate and the past leaderships of this country are...

They sell a barrel of crude oil(159litres of 6 constituent oil) @ $59/N17,000 per barrel)

They later buy a barrel of 1st constituent of the crude, which is PMS, (1 barrel @ $55) + a barrel of 2nd constituent of the crude, which is kerosene, (1 barrel @ $57) + a barrel of 3rd constituent of the crude, which is diesel, (1 barrel at $70), then sum up all they spend importing what they exported @ $59, that would give $182.

They earn $59 per barrel exporting crude oil. They spend $182 importing a barrel of petrol, a barrel of kerosene, and a barrel of diesel.


A mermaid sells her fresh fish at N100. She later buys it back as fried fish at N200.

Isn't she a daft mermaid?

Please use the above to make your assumptions obviously you have succeeded in getting the applause of those who have no idea of crude oil contents
