That is the level of their ignorance. A local government in Lagos is more populated than Lithuania. Lagos has 15m people, Lithuania has 2.5m people. So their gas consumption is very insignificant, they can afford to buy one shipment that will last their generation ages. When big economies like Germany are talking, a local government will still be talking.

What you should more worried about is how such a small population country has higher GDP than the entire Lagos economy.

banku:
May be I understand your sarcasm because I do not think you are serious.

I cannot blame you. Children that are now mothers and fathers complain that they have never seen regular electricity, water, food or basic primary schools.

So, I cannot blame you because most of us of another generation has. Yes, the ones denying all of us what they enjoyed and took for granted.

Nobody has ever seen regular electricity in Nigeria in any generation.
If you mean some people in some area at some time did, you are correct.
If you wish to enjoy regular electricity today, you still can, just move to Bonny island.

They even went on strike for free bad food or that cost less than three or so naira or so. Some students had state, federal and foreign scholarships. Local organizations, Unions and old students had grants.

Scholarship is easy when you have few students.
Compare the population now and then.

Nigeria had many firsts in Africa and Europe. Yes, Nigeria sent relief during disaster to the rest of the world including USA!

First in what exactly?
Nigeria last month also sent $1 million dollar relief fund to Afghanistan.
It is not today that poor countries support others.
Foreign Head of State prefer Nigerian hospitals. The rest of the world prefer our Peace Keeping Force as one of the best.

African countries bragged that if they expelled Colonial experts, Nigerians would replace them. We sent judges, lawyers, doctors, teachers, nurses to replace the European and American (who be Russia, infra) technical experts in African countries.

Those alleged African countries are obviously dreaming.
Nigeria still send those today.
In fact, the UK health sector is heavily dependent on Nigeria's immigrants.
Guess what? none of the professions in your list actually manufactures anything of worth.
Where were the skyscraper architects, where were the aircraft manufacturers and designers?
Where were the intercontinental cable liners, Where are the rocket builders and space explorers?

Our Independent Fighters from Herbert Macaulay, Ikoli, Zik, Awo to Da Rocha brought Africans in Diaspora home.

Enough said because it is enough to make any African cry!

This is irrelevant to the topic at hand.
Like many Nigerians you are confusing Nigerian state welfare handouts to real wealth.
Real wealth lies in the pockets of citizens not government largesse

banku:
Sir, which generation were you born into?

Irrelevant.
From 1960 till date, at no time was Nigeria a rich country.
Still don't believe me?
Pick up any economic history book about Nigeria.

Okay

Nonsense.
This is one of the yoots clamouring for leadership.
Unfortunately, his mind is already corrupted with superstition and fear.
This one will likely allocate millions for prayers if he gets a chairmanship position.

Nigeria was not and is not rich.

LordIsaac:
How did he single you out, force you into his car and drive you to a hotel; book a room, closed the door and tried to rape you?

Is this your usual defense?

Acme45:
for God sake how will a corp member serve in a hotel? See foolishness, what happens to schools, ministries and other private organisations

Are you the rapist's brother?

Nigerialabalaba:
E fit possible oga. U no be teacher abeg.

For Class position, if 5 pupil tie for 1st position, d next position na 6th position but if 5 pupils tie for subject scores, the 6th pupil still be 2nd.

U dey look at d numbers but u no understand position system for schools because u no be teacher..Na becos of dis position system make some countries stop class position system.
U no be teacher so no argue wetin u know sabi

If 18 people are tied in the first position, then this pupil
cannot be above average in all subjects.

Statistics can sometimes be tricky, but it is quite a solid tool.

SmartyPants:
See other quotes from the same interview, where Barrlow makes it clear that they had already exited Nigeria long before Buhrari, becasue they were not paid.

https://www.arise.tv/insurgency-jonathan-not-buhari-terminated-private-military-contract-says-sa-contractor/

Extract:

“We were contracted by the National Security Adviser, Colonel Dasuki, and his office in late October 2014 and it was that administration and that office that terminated the contract. It was not the current administration,” Conella spokesman told ARISE News.

He added further that: “By the time the current administration took power, we were long gone, unfortunately, and the main reason for the termination was nonpayment. We had milestones written to the contract for payment, those milestones were unfortunately not met by the Nigerian government.

“Perhaps priorities changed, perhaps, with a view to the election around the corner, people thought differently about where to spend their money.

“We can only speculate about that, but that was the reason, it was non-payment, it was not non-performance by our side. As a matter of fact, we achieved almost the impossible within a month of our operations for the first time in three years, two major cities that were in the hands of Boko haram Bama and Gwazo were back in the hands of security forces and at the end of our contract the sambisa was being assaulted by our unit.”

Don't be deceived by mercenary journalist!
Colonel Eeben Barlow, the leader of the strike force team does not hide his face but a mere spokesman
is afraid.

Hired by then President Goodluck Jonathan in the wake of the Chibok schoolgirl abduction, the mercenaries were credited with driving Boko Haram out of most of their strongholds in north-east Nigeria.

But after just three months, their contract was cancelled by incoming President Muhammadu Buhari, a former general, who told The Telegraph at the time that the Nigerian army should be able to do the job alone.

Nigeria is well-known for not paying contractors on time, so the mercenaries never left due to non-payment.
They left because Buhari asked them to leave.
Ask any senior officer serving at the time, the mercenaries were still very much on ground until
Buhari expelled them.

In fact, if they are long gone before Buhari came in, nobody will have associated Buhari's name
with them.

Nigerialabalaba:
no be so. no be say d tisha no fit make mistake but 18 pupils fit don tie for 1st and 2nd position.

Nigerialabalaba:
no be so. no be say d tisha no fit make mistake but 18 pupils fit don tie for 1st and 2nd position.

Check again, each subject had a class average.
Statistically, at least half of the class scored below average and half above.

This pupil was well above average in all subjects. This means the least position
she could have taken is 12th.

So, it is impossible for her to be 19th in a class of 25 unless they use other undocumented
criteria for assigning class position.

Juliearth:
This is far from witchery. It is common in classes where all the pupils are bright

Not true.
The class average exposed the teacher as being incompetent or mathematically challenged
unless the position is not strictly based on academics.

SmartyPants:
The mercenaries were sent back by GEJ not Buhari

I replied because I assume you are not trolling.

SarkinYarki:
He didnt act to late , in 3 weeks fighters from executive outcomes had completely obliterated Boko haram fighting capacity by 90 percent and cornered them to the Lake chad region only waiting for diplomatic approval to go in and finish them before APC won the election and sent EO out of Nigeria

He acted too late.
If he had made the decision two years earlier, Nigeria will be a lot different now
and bandits may not even exist as they would have seen the consequences of carrying arms.

April fool fake news.
Nothing is free.

Idiko1:
This dude, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, is very empty. He wants to bring another group of foreign mercenaries to fight the mercenaries brought into Nigeria by Muhammadu Buhari, Nasir El-Rufai and APC.

So you believe the lies that these bandits are foreigners?
They are 99.999999% local.

Politicians tell you lie so you don't hate the bandit's ethnic group.

freak33:
Link where Russia and US use mercenary

Don't be lazy, Google is your friend.

BigRocky:
Most things we refer to as project,are fundamental human rights.so no big deal for them.

In Nigerian we commission toilet,bolehole, transformer, street lights etc

Abeg we are far behind

Get proper education.
Projects are not human rights.

What American political executives celebrate is passing budget for their plans.
The budget itself is the project.

Unfortunately, NO governor has the power to bring in mercenaries, only the FG can.

Thanks to the mercenaries brought in by GEJ, though he acted almost too late,
elections held in Borno and north-east and thousands of terrorists were destroyed
or dislodged.

But Buhari came in and terminated the mercenaries contract because he believe
Nigeria army is too big to need mercenaries.

Even the most powerful militaries in the world, US, Russia and China uses mercenaries
for fighting insurgencies but general Buhari disagrees.

A terrorist who has a billion people behind is still a terrorist.

Tajbol4splend:
You are talking about people who are less than 0.000001% of women population, majority of the ones we have don't have the drive to compete but looking someone to pity them and give them the chance to run, laying emphasis on how their gender has been discriminated against, you should also know that in Nigeria, women outnumber men but women will still vote against women because they have not earned it, most of them just want to be pitied

Majority of men/women don't contest for public offices. It is people who are less than 0.000001% that contest.
Stop projecting your misogyny on women.
Women like men go to polling unit to vote for or against a candidate.
Or they go to get paid for voting. It is never about gender. No one cares.

Okay.

1x2x3:
Be careful with that justice aspect. Some can be vengeful in the name of justice,one has to be very careful. He could do what is best for him and she will feel unfairly treated then the justice aspect kicks in.

She has only demonstrated that she will not risk her happiness or wellbeing for any relationship
and prefer to dissolve unfair relationship.

If he does no actual harm to her, he has nothing to fear but himself .

hmm

Nbotee:
Shameless and ingredients. A person the courts had found innocent and freed. When will the police go afta bandits?

She was never found innocent. She has not even been charged.
She was granted bail.

That said, I am not sure if attempting to withdraw from a blocked account is a criminal offence on its own.
She will likely be release quickly.

bigpicture001:
although he made mention of acid bathing and knives stabbing, but he refered it to what happens in messy ended relationship where the dumper makes the dumper looks small and like a a shit..... He begged her to desist from making a mess of her dumping him so they don't get to the news with bad report.. ND he added God forbid.

Most violent partners use indirect threat such as this, they rarely say 'I will bath you in acid' directly.
The girl must be intelligent to have decipher the subtle threats in the man's language.

On whether she is good for you, we can't really tell since we don't know you.
But if you are the guy that react badly or violently to break up, then it is better you find your way.

From your writeup, she sounds like a lady that will not put up with suffering or unfair dealings
in relationship just to appease society.
If you are the type of man who respects your partner and have strong sense of justice even
when you are the guilty, then you might just be right for one another.

Shikena:
When you waste 16 good years in power dancing to the gallery, you deserve everything thrown at you. However, we are no longer fooled by the demarcation. You are all the same and at the end of the day, after all micro and macro analysis, PDP = APC and it's Nigeria that is the loser! Shikena!

Now that you have a party that does not dance to the gallery and does
whatever it likes, why are you still complaining?

Wow, the west is falling and Taliban taking over
People's eyes are now open to the evil of the west.

Okay.
Source?

Ebubu:
Be like na you be that Abolore for twitter

Don't be stupid.
Prayers have never saved anyone from gunshot injuries.

Investigative:
Are you a doctor?
Is that why you want her dead when she asked for prayer
Or because she is igbo

Most Twitter stories usually end up as fake.
If you are smart, you would see the reply as sarcasm to an unbelievable story.

Finally, it is funny how you ignored the terrorists who carried out the attack and
focused on tweets. Well, I guess your loyalty to terrorist group is unwavering as long as
it helps you sell your story of hate.

A gunshot victim does not need prayer but medical attention.
The victim who is reported to be a doctor should have known that.
