When will Christians create a terrorist group like muslims of islam do?

Bitter developers will soon invade this thread with insults and hateful comment

As a Yoruba man I find it awkward to prostrate before someone who is not Yoruba no matter how old or what he has done. A respectful bow is enough. This is just eye service

SoftSport:
the yoruba tribe is really known for honoring elders like that and he’s a true omoluabi.

Have you noticed how often the term rare earth is being mentioned lately? These are not your typical minerals, they are a special class of elements extracted from the soil and are critical in the production of advanced technology, including airplane components, electric vehicles, smartphones, and even military systems.

Recently, due to escalating trade tensions and tariffs, China announced that it would be suspending the export of rare earth materials to the United States. This move is highly strategic and China knows just how vital these elements are to the U.S. tech and defense industries. The impact was immediate, sparking concerns and aggressive moves from the U.S., including renewed interest in Greenland for its untapped rare earth deposits. Even discussions about Ukraine’s debt repayment to the U.S. have reportedly included rare earth materials as a form of settlement.

This brings me to a crucial observation that hits closer to home right here in Nigeria.

For years, I've noticed something peculiar: China has been actively involved in extracting and exporting what we often refer to as red sand from southeastern Nigeria. From my own investigation, I’ve found that Chinese companies pay top dollar for this material. Want proof? Visit Apapa port and see for yourself how many trucks of this so-called “worthless” red sand are shipped out daily.

But here’s the million-dollar question: Why is China so interested in our red sand?

What exactly are they extracting and why are we, as a country, not taking it seriously?

It's high time we connect the dots. That "red sand" could very well contain rare earth elements. If that’s the case, Nigeria could be sitting on a multi-billion dollar resource one that could potentially fund our national budget several times over, reduce our reliance on oil, and position us as a key global player in tech-related raw materials.

Sadly, many Nigerians are unaware of the potential wealth under our feet, while foreign powers, like China, quietly make moves under the radar. And let’s not forget: the Chinese are famously secretive in their operations. We know about the U.S. Secret Service, the UK's MI6, and Russia’s KGB but how many people can name China’s intelligence agency? That alone should raise red flags.

We must demand transparency, invest in geological research, and regulate the export of our soil and minerals. If we continue to ignore this issue, we risk giving away our future quite literally by the truckload.

Final Thought:
Nigeria may not need to borrow heavily or rely solely on oil revenue. The solution might already be in our soil quite literally. Let’s wake up before it's too late.

Read my last statement "However, the prevailing culture in Bonny/Opobo is Ijaw. Their customs, attire, titles, and names originate from the Ijaw tribe. Additionally, they have their own Ijaw language, Ibani"..Even the Opobo man go tell you say him be Ijaw man. And what is so special for an opobo man or Bonny man to be an ijaw man or igbo man.
Does it come with any special benefit Do you know the lineage of the English man..From your Assertion above, An Englishman or british man is actually a German, Norwegian and celt etc.

ruggedtimi:
In Opobo/Bonny, Igbo is commonly spoken, a tradition that dates back to the era of the transatlantic slave trade. The Igbo people were frequently sold as slaves through the Bonny route, and many chose to remain in Bonny, leading to the dominance of the Igbo language in the area. King Pepple of Bonny was a prominent figure in the slave trade.

However, the prevailing culture in Bonny/Opobo is Ijaw. Their customs, attire, titles, and names originate from the Ijaw tribe. Additionally, they have their own Ijaw language, Ibani

hatchy:
Just like Ikwerres abi.

You guys will just be behaving as if this your Igbo tribe is the superior tribe in the world.
But know it that you are most hated people in Nigeria because of this your attitudes of feeling superior to others.

Anthony Joshua gets street-side Haircut in Ogun Nigeria


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDjvmW4rTac

British-Nigerian boxing champion Anthony Joshua turned a routine haircut into a viral moment during his visit to Ogun State, Nigeria

Joshua is back on the social media trends just days after being spotted celebrating the birthday of billionaire Aliko Dangote in Lagos.
Joshua spotted in his hometown, where he opted for a street-side haircut

Joshua traveled to Ogun State, his hometown, where he opted for a street-side haircut, further endearing himself to fans.

Joshua appeared at ease as the barber worked on his signature high skin fade with textured Afro top—a hairstyle he typically gets from his trusted London barber, Mark Maciver of SliderCuts.

The post, which garnered significant attention online, came with a humorous caption from Joshua himself: “Shout out to my Barba in Naija, this trim cost me 50p, but obviously we niced uncle.

mrvitalis:
One thing I have always said is if I ever decide to be governor or president Economics would be made compulsory in all schools from SS1 to university 200 level...

Volume of debt or size of debt is not an issue
Ability to repay is the issue

Someone can owe 2 million and be worse than someone who owe 10 billion

In nigeria the issue we talk about is our revenue to debt servicing is too high..

We need to increase revenue, sadly the only way to do that is to borrow more but use it for what would generate revenue or ability to pay back the loan

So borrowing and using it to build road, bridge, rails, and the reat feel good projects is foolishness... Very big foolishness

And that's what APC have been doing since

Na midnight decision



They made sure to announce it after April 2nd midnight, so kyari wouldn't think it was an April Fools' Day prank.

It's surprising that Tinubu has allowed Mr. Kyari to continue in office until now.

emkz:
Take a look at the quality of human beings appointed.

Good schools, sterling careers.

Sensible investment strategists.

Balanced appointments!

May they succeed.

PS: Austin Avuru, Babs Omotowa, Bello Rabiu sit or sat on the board of Seplat. The new MD is from Renaissance Energy. Henry Ikem Obih came from ExxonMobil and had served as ED in NNPC during Buhari's time. David Ige worked in NNPC. Yusuf Usman also had a stint in Shell and NNPC. Some of these guys graduated first class and had a strong mix of public sector and private sector experience. The appointments are spot on and well thought out. We'd assess their performace within the next two years, God willing.

What brought Obidient to this now? Can't you make your comments without bringing in Obidient to it?

NGsultan:
Trump Declares, With Mighty Glee,
"Tinubu, set Kanu free!"
Seven days, the clock shall tick,
Or sanctions fall, strong and quick!

Oh, some of you leapt with cheer,
Your Supreme Leader’s freedom near!
Others gasped and clenched their fists,
Muttering, "This cannot exist!"

But dear friends, please take a seat,
Before you dance or feel defeat.
Swallow hope, restrain your rage,
For this is but a prankish page!

April’s here, the fools must play,
So wipe those tears and laugh today!
No deals, no threats, no sudden release,
Just jokes and mischief, enjoy in peace!

Happy April Fool’s Day!

Jubrilist turn Obidunce turn Natashist,nah only that one you see ?

Why are you guys hell bent on wishing Wike death ?

Which normal human does that ?

nonhuman:

stonemasonn:
You're free to exit, I'm definitely not holding you back. I don't know why you made it about Igbos ... we're talking about strength in unity instead of rivalry. Personally I prefer any southerner to be president for sentimental reasons.

stonemasonn:
No, and your governor won't even care.

Southerners are fools too. Especially the 2 big for nothing tribes.
