phantom: so SA no be number 1 after all the noise made on the other thread?

Panter215: We deserve the police force we get if someone can call this a residents. Most police accommodation I have since in Nigeria is not far some this rubbish posted. Across the country low rank police man live like animals and we wonder why they behave like one. I am sure the police commissioner budget yearly to maintain these buildings but year in year nothing is done. Abeg let's do something to improve their lives and I am sure something good will start happening.

40Lightyears: Let FG start thinking of expanding the rail system now. With a population of 160 million, what we have on ground now won't go anywhere.
They can take a cue from China and Indias' rail system, that services hundreds of millions of passengers.

Plarp: Absolutly idiotic thread. OP your a dumbass

Afolabs101: Traveling by road to Mali

I'm sure all our C-whatever Hercules planes are grounded due to lack of service/maintenance SMDH

Yomieluv: Definitely its an insider's job cos the mode of operation is usually kept secret,and highly confidential.

sounds good, but not the right play. From the events in Africa,most African countries do not recognize Nigeria beyond the ebb where we have always been except in times of crisis. we hardly get their support in any regional tussle, so going to play big daddy is just being ambitious.

there are other countries in Africa that are militarily superior to Nigeria who should form the "head man" for ECOMOG or whichever regional police therein.

the issue at hand is equally a national security concern for Nigeria and that is why we would not sit on our hands,
however, Nigeria should support all efforts to the Malian cause through covert arms supply, funding etc.

sending our sons and daughters to Mali is not an option. it will be more politically suicidal for Jonathan already plagued by Boko haram at home,to think he can withstand the offensive of alqaeda backed by islamic mahreb, should they launch a reprisal on Nigeria.

same people supporting this move today will be the same calling for his head when a terror attack claiming 3,000 lives happens on Nigerian soil.

joboy, be wise

The Malian problem is not a regional problem, it is an african problem with a universal ripple effect. the UN has already convened a meeting with AU and EU as well, so at least, they are not stup!!d,down playing it to an ECOWAS baby is a contradiction to your earlier statement on UN intervention.

I understand if UN wants to work in harmony with existing regional apparatchiks but the president should not see it as a "messiah invite" because the consequences far outweighs the benefits.

All the UN wants to achieve is a reduction in the cost of war/intervention nothing more, it will be politically suicidal for trainee presido to flatter himself with the illusion of an "African messiah" in playing the head man's role.

The American intervention in Somalia is not unconnected to the fact that the Somalian pirates posed a direct economic threat to the United states. they hijack oil tankers destined for europe and America, thereby cutting down on the supply which was devastating for crude prices at the time.

a 6.8% artificial increase in oil price is enough for the united states to go to war. can that be said of Nigeria as regards its National security threat?

As a reminder,the events from 1990 to 1999 saw the so called giant of Africa with a paltry budget of 6b naira in 1998, relinquishing 40% of its budget to peace keeping causes while at home, civil servants could not feed their families.
Nigerian's austerity index within the period in view, rose to an all time peak. this crisis lingered till the beginning of the next decade.


Is this really the kind of sagacity you wish for Nigeria at this stage of economic doldrum?
at a time our only export is priced at an all time high yet we were only able to save $42b in foreign reserve with local and foreign debt of $46b?

have you phantom the cost of war?

if Nigeria doesn't sit on the fence at this stage, the bulk will land on our table. and for a country that just borrowed $1.1b from china for a light rail project which most African countries can afford comfortably, speaks ill of our much hyped regional dominance.

Lastly, Nigeria is a soft target for a cohesion of Alqeda, islamic mahreb and supporter of APC should there be a reprisal.

the strain on our third world military will be catastrophic for the Nigerian people, believe me, the fact that Nigeria can boast of troops wielding AK and FAN riffles does not in any way translate to military strength.

thelastPope: What part of the post dont you understand? The program was about the agricultural transformation in Nigeria and its effects. A lot was talked about and I only drew attention to one aspect which was the setting up of Dangote processing plant to shore up the increased tomato production as a result of the agricultural boost. The Dangote initiative was actually a federal ministry of agriculture's drive to encourage private participation in the agricultural transformation. Please use google or watch AIT and you will see many of the issues being addressed. An example, is the 8 designated cargo airports in the country that is being setup to help the farmers exports cargo to Europe and other parts of the world. Warehouses and cold storage are being built in the airports as part of the airports renovation being carried out by the aviation ministry to support and take advantage of the agricultural transformation. Open your eyes and see what is going on. Be careful not to just join in partisan politics while a lot is happening under your nose. be wise!

Omen100: A multi-billionaire investment without provision for adequate security channels to enable security personals carryout their job effectively, inasmuch as vandals are criminals & needs to be punished, NNPC also needs to accept its responsibilities and act by protecting its facilities but they won't because nnpc is that biggest corrupt organization we have in Nigeria, even the government learns from nnpc.

dreZilla: My favourite Aboki/Mallam has being misunderstood again. All of us know that there is some element of truth in what he is saying. Only that I am not sure if he should be making such statement as CBN gov.

Seun: You know, we really do believe in freedom of speech. We want people to be as free as possible when posting on Nairaland. However, if we don't enforce some rules, certain trouble-makers (scammers, spammers, fighters, bots, and trolls) will make the forum unusable for the vast majority of Nairaland members, and drive them away. That's why we have to hide posts and ban people. We don't enjoy it, but it's necessary.

Okontami: See this OP, u are a clown. I state it.No guy is scared of dating a working class girl. Who do u want boys to go after?? Hungry girls who are practically beggars or who? Mr OP please which country do you live in. It is a big fat lie. Every guy want an asset and not a liability. If you can not add to me, please dont come and deplete my life. Thats the current slogan.

Respond to it jare and quit trolling.... by d way, @JP did say anything in his respond apart from essentiali agreeing with d core of the comment, and of course saying sm few things he didnt hv any clue about like saying both Omotosho II and Olorunsogo II new plants had not bn completed Or that Alaoji was contractd in 2012.

DaLover: Still on the loose exposing your ignorance and looking for subsidized livelihood...pity the children u r bringing up....don't ask me why

FXKing2012: The eeeeeediot Sagamite and the male chauvinist dayokanu actually think they are making much of a sense...shows what a sick world we live in.

I once knew a man who could not concentrate at work due to trouble at home with his wife. It got so bad that his performance and productivity dropped drastically that his boss had to querry him. With no improvement he eventually got fired.

There was a pilot who was doing so well in his career and steadily climbing the ladder of success but this came to an abrupt halt when the relationship with his wife went south. He started drinking, and being a taboo in the airline industry, he got caught and got sacked.

There was this bus driver who was having serious issues with his wife at home, this drove him into smoking and massive alcohol consumption. One day while driving, he lost control of the vehicle killing himself and many others. Autopsy report showed he had too much alcohol in his system.

I could go on and on. None of these men ended up buying land and building houses simply because they lacked emotional and psychological support from their wives.

Now who says emotional and psychological support given by wives mean nothing?

It wont surprise me to learn that many of the men in here saying women contribute nothing and thus should leave with nothing are the same ones who treat their wives like objects at home. You think taking such a stance makes you a better man?
