nairalanda1: Problem is, to actually get most of the value from your resources, you got to process them into goods the world needs, not just sell them and shine teeth.
Yeah, Awo did well, but....what industries was the raw materials from cocoa, and other plant products were set up, and were used to make products that were exportable for even more money? If there had been no coup, at some point in the 1970's the Western region would have run out of money as the population outstripped the cocoa revenue ability to sustain it.
If not for oyel, 1970's would have been really really hard for Nigeria. If the unfortunate coup had not happened, we would have made progress in that direction. Well, maybe. A few visionary leaders like Awo would no doubt have seen what the Singapores and Malaysias of this world were doing, shun the Marxist nonsense that sweeping through much of the continent, and pursue industrialisation. In any case, the creation of states has not helped us industrialize - it has only sucked up resources that should go into projects to pay a gazillion administrators. |

nairalanda1: Regional government won't work. There is a reason why we have states.
Regional governments were just as corrupt and in some instances tribalistic as the federal government. Go and read the January 1966 coup speech. And most parts of the regions were underdeveloped. If you wanted a problem solved, sometimes you had to travel very long distances to the regional capital, especially in the North.
My village got no light or potable water under regions. Na state governor wey do am.
And they had the same problem NIgeria has today, resource dependency. But, at least, they were depending on their own resources, not going cap-in-hand to the centre. And who's to say electricity won't have got to your village at the same TIME it did if we still had regions? The impact of Awo's government in the SW was felt in every village. |

nairalanda1: Nigeria is where it is because Nigeria operates a dependency on oil economy.
I am not disagreeing with you that tinubu is bad, but replace tinupoo with your own favored leader, and it would still be the same result.
Some of the hardship we are expereincing is because for decades we ran an economy based on sharing oil money and borrowing when there wasn't enough money. We did not build a productive economy and we did not make government revenue dependent on taxation, and we did not build an accountable socieity.
And if we split the country, same result.

Everything i have bought have been true to what i read and see on the app. I have never made a mistake in ordering since i started buying from Aliexpress years ago. You guy order blindly It is you that order blindly. I have been buying online since 2002. I know e-commerce sites that I trust their reviews and the ones I don't - since you have shifted to reviews. I'm talking about order substitution on Temu this one is talking about dimensions and Aliexpress. Smh. |
Politics › Re: The Return Of Subsidy VS Subsidy Removal. Where Do You Stand. by JuanDeDios: 7:48pm On Sep 29 |
Eriokanmi: As a staunch supporter of Peter Obi, I stand with him. Subsidy stands removed. I wish tinubu had not been callous and cruel in his approach, he should have adopted the Obi's approach. Obi proposed the Angola model. Angola removed Subsidy too, but gradually. That's why they're not crying today. You came into office and said...Subsidy is gaan! Without,first providing palliatives like Jonathan he once criticised with sponsored nationwide protests had done.
Had he made provision for a supplementary budget to cater for this, same way he did on less important and frivolous areas when he came, the masses wouldn't be crying like this today and it takes a wicked and unfeeling leader to act that way. Nigeria isn't difficult to govern. Fashola's leadership model in Lagos made me believe so, cos my state is the most difficult in Africa to govern. Though it was because he didnt listen to tinubu which almost cost him his 2nd term bid. He dealt ruthlessly with Tinubu's allies who refused to do good jobs after taking contracts as well, their usual habit.
Atiku should just rest. There's no amount of baits he can set for us that would catch us. He'll rather draw Nigeria backwards by half a century if given the chance to rule Nigeria. The way he managed the sale of fed govt property and the monetisation arrangements had shown. He should just rest and focus on his bad leg.

Kingsasian: It is not a rogue nothing. The specs are there for you to read. Whenever I want to order things I read the specs and measurements, as a matter of fact my wife usually use her measuring tape to check the size of each item she wants to order. I ordered a lighting picture frame for my wife and i had to check the size to be sure of what to expect. Most of you guys just order things blindly. It is you that order blindly. There are two major pitfalls when ordering on Temu. 1. The size issue. Something will look big, but it's actually tiny. Temu does this deliberately to hoodwink the buyer, but usually, the buyer can solve this problem by being vigilant - as you said, checking measurements. 2. Order substitution. You see something on the platform for a ridiculously low price. You quickly order it, thinking it's your lucky day. When it arrives, you see that instead of the bathroom hanger you saw and ordered, you've been sent a piece of useless plastic. You rush to Temu to check and find that the picture you saw had now been replaced with the useless plastic. Clearly 2 has not happened to you lot who come here to defend Temu and say bla bla bla about "you people shop blindly on Temu". You can accuse shoppers that have experienced 2 of being gullible if you want, but that does not change the fact of Temu's crookedness. |

Travel › Re: SA Toddler Stranded In Nigeria Flown Back Home After Diplomats Raise Funds by JuanDeDios: 7:17am On Sep 29 |
I'm RandDigital: South African diplomats in Nigeria helped bring a three-year-old boy back to his family in Johannesburg after his mother was arrested for an alleged drug offence.
The boy’s 38-year-old mother from Brakpan was arrested in July 2026 at Abuja airport after Nigerian authorities found 5.75 kg of heroin in her luggage. She had travelled from Doha with her son. She was later sentenced to a long prison term, reportedly 25 years, leaving the young boy stranded in Nigeria.
South African diplomatic staff decided to help. They collected money among themselves (25,000 rands / $1,500) to pay for the child’s flight home.
A South African diplomat, Jerry Sibanyoni, travelled with the boy from Abuja to Lagos and then to Johannesburg. The child arrived at OR Tambo International Airport on Saturday, 26 September, where he was reunited with his grandfather. "It's a war of exchanging drugs now." Lol. It says she was arrested in July 2026. And has been sentenced to 25 years. No way our courts are that fast. Must be an error. |

ElevationD: Sure, he did. He was making that move against Ukraine since 2014. Please study the events since 2014.
However please note that we are no longer in the days of Hitler’s Germany.
It is the duty of intelligence agencies to keep their countries updated. But leaders also make calculations that should not fail, when it has to do with military operations.
An example is the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq under Saddam Hussein. It was a badly calculated move and the rest is the story that we see today.
Again, do you not know that the Israelis are capable to wipe Iran and the rest of the Middle East off the face of the earth in one day? All the tutugaga of the Mullahs and their supporters will end the day the Israelis perceive themselves to face an existential threat.
If Ukraine succeeded in joining NATO earlier, it would have been a fatal error for Putin and Russia.
Ask yourself why China exercises restraint over Taiwan. Or you think the Chinese do not have the capacity to overrun Taiwan? They know the risks, as the Taiwanese have a water tight defence pact with the Americans, just like the Israelis, and the Chinese would not venture.
So it is with Putin and NATO. He will not dare. Once again, I stated that he can make such attempt with Poland that’s at close proximity and Italy. Note that the Polish learnt their lessons after the Second World War. But the Russians will not dare fire sea drones at France, a fellow nuclear power nation. That will trigger a world war. It’s also tantamount to saying that Russia will fire shots at Great Britain. That will be very catastrophic. Point taken. I don't think Mr Putin is suicidal (dictators who accumulate wealth usually love to live long) so he too would be careful. The problem, though, is that he likes to poke, to see how far he can go and get away with - and he's not as smart as people think. @Blue. Russia has many Nato neighbours now - thanks to Mr Putin. Ukraine joining Nato is only a problem for Russia if Russia has ambitions of annexing Ukraine. Otherwise, Nato has never been about taking offensive action against Russia. @Red. I hope we're noting the implications of that. When the present crisis blows over, if it does, we'll have a new arms race on our hands. With the US having proved it can't be relied, I'm sure Japan, S Korea, Germany, Australia, Spain and Canada will be looking at having nukes of their own. Maybe the likes of S Arabia, Egypt and South Africa will want to join the party. |
