We Produce steel, yeah but not at the quality to produce weapons or heavy industry tools like cars and heavy machinery. The ajaokuta was supposed to be the biggest and self contained mill that can shape raw iron from scratch. The ones we have import steel then shape them. Our government even wanted to use the steel from ajaokuta to make weapons.

Iran had a revolution that made people that changed their government from a shah that oppressed them and they went from an extractive to productive society. We haven't done what they so we are still being oppressed and extracted from.

Ultimately we agree on the same thing. I want this country to be an industrial and military power, I believe our people can do great things but we don't have the industry to do this yet. Iran didn't have this immediately but they built it. We just need to build ours here and now because the Leija site is obviously not fit for modern manufacturing. So relax we are on the same side.

Fair enough. Just needed to correct the idea that Nigeria ''does not produce steel''.

The steel we produce today is mostly for civil engineering, construction and basic manufacturing.

AI report:

''Nigeria’s active mills (like African Industries Group, Dana Steel Limited, and Sunflag Nigeria Limited) are good at producing:

Reinforcement bars (rebar)
Structural steel
Wire rods

This is suitable for:

Buildings
Bridges
Basic infrastructure

Medium-level industrial use (LIMITED but growing)

Some mills can produce:

Steel coils
Sheets
Basic machine parts

This supports:

Small manufacturing
Fabrication workshops
Light machinery

If projects like Ajaokuta Steel Company become fully operational + upgraded with modern tech, Nigeria could start producing:

Automotive-grade steel

Eventually defence-grade alloys''

- AI


...............


Y'see, this report shows we're not as ''far behind'' as we always like to proclaim we are!!

Just a few more steps here and there, and we're good!

shegzee43:
Nigerians supporting Iran will still be applying for United States visa. What an irony.

SHUT UP WITH YOUR VILLAGE LOGIC.

THAT AMERICA CORNERED THE WORLD'S WEALTH (THROUGH FOR INSTANCE THE PETRODOLLAR, SLAVERY, INVASIONS ETC], FORCING PEOPLE TO GRAVITATE THERE TO ACCESS THE WORLD'S WEALTH, DOESN'T MEAN YOU LINE UP BEHIND THE ATROCITIES THEY KEEP COMMITTING TO ROB OTHER NATIONS.

GROW A SPINE AND SOME MORALITY IN YOU.

SO-CALLED ''CHRISTIANS'', YET YOU SUPPORT ALL SORTS OF VILE ATROCITIES INCLUDING ILLEGAL INVASIONS AND THE MASS MURDER OF INNOCENT CHILDREN.

JUST DROP THAT BIBLE YOU CARRY. IT MEANS NOTHING TO YOU.

Ralp226:
Why not just hit them before announce it

Iran self 😆😆

Because Iran is Persia, a civilised nation that dates back over 3,000 years.

And retains the AFRICAN MORALITY of its ancient black founders.

They don't kill innocent human beings without reason.

SeizeTheMemes:
Yes we could use forests bit the problem isn't that, it's manufacturing. We don't have the manufacturing capacity to build these things. We don't produce steel

CAN YOU PEOPLE SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?

Who told you we don't produce steel?

So you think because Ajaokuta is not working fully, it means we don't produce steel?

Have you heard of Delta Steel Company, Aladja?

What of African Foundries Limited (AFL) Lagos?

Premium Steel & Mines Ltd (PSML), Delta?

Dana Steel Lagos?

Sunflag Steel, Ogun state?

United Steel Industries, Lagos?

PLUS OVER 60 MORE STEEL MILLS ACROSS NIGERIA?

YOU PEOPLE KNOW ZERO ABOUT NIGERIA.

That's why you all feel so inferior.

, or anything we need to build these weapons

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT, SO KEEP SHUT.

You don't just stand up and shout ''we don't have this.....we don't know that, we can't do this, we can't do that'', WHEN YOU HAVE CONDUCTED ZERO RESEARCH.

Okay?

If you are too LAZY to research the country you are in, then keep quiet.

Sheuns:
Oga stop displaying ignorance. There’s no place in history before 1914 that was called Nigeria.

Give the credit to the actual tribe or group of tribes and not just throw names carelessly.

If a credit is to be given to Julio Caesar today, they won’t call him an Italian instead he would be called what he rightfully was a Roman.

STOP TALKING RUBBISH.

Nomenclature is UNIMPORTANT.

What matters is that OUR ANCESTORS INVENTED IRON SMELTING, THE VERY FOUNDATION OF MODERN CIVILISATION WITHOUT WHICH THE ENTIRE WORLD WOULD BE LIVING IN CAVES.

END OF STORY.

Even the name Africa was given by Romans and popularized by Europeans.

YOU DON'T KNOW the origin of the name, Africa. There are at least 6 possible roots of the world, including the existence of a black 'Afer' tribe of ancient north Africa the Europeans traded with.

All what you listed above are fallacies. No single tribe or race can claim he invented everything. Knowledge and skills have been copied from one race to another and can’t be attributed to just one race.

YOU ARE WRONG, AND YOU NEED TO STUDY HISTORY.

GO ON CHATGPT AND TYPE "WHICH CONTINENT INVENTED MATHEMATICS?"

YOU WILL GET THE ANSWER: AFRICA. LEBOMBO BONE, ISHANGO BONE. DISCOVERED IN THE CONGO. CARBON-DATED TO 25,000 BCE, AND SHOWING EVIDENCE OF MULTIPLICATION AND PRIME NUMBERS.

All you listed above are put together by the so called colonial masters you try to detest.


So much for a person that wants to get off colonial complex.

ACTUALLY NO. AFRICANS INVENTED COMPUTING AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY, SO I'M GETTING THE INFORMATION FROM SYSTEMS AFRICANS ORIGINATED.

FOR INSTANCE, MODERN AI WAS INVENTED BY DAVID BLACKWELL, AN AFRICAN AMERICAN.

MARK DEAN, ANOTHER AFRICAN AMERICAN, WAS A CO-INVENTOR OF THE IBM PERSONAL COMPUTER IN 1981.

GPS, THE TECHNOLOGY FOR SATELLITE NAVIGATION, WAS INVENTED BY AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN, GLADYS MAE WEST.

PHILLIP EMEAGWALI, A NIGERIAN, INVENTED 'PARALLEL PROCESSING' WHICH ALLOWS AI PROGRAMS TO FUNCTION SIMULTANEOUSLY ACROSS THOUSANDS OF COMPUTERS.

HE WON THE GORDON BELL PRIZE FOR IT IN 1989.

ANOTHER NIGERIAN, KUNLE OLUKOTUN, INVENTED CHIP MULTI PROCESSORS, THE VERY TECHNICAL BASIS FOR AI AND SUPERCOMPUTING.

IFA AND DIGITAL SYSTEMS SHARE THE SAME LOGICAL SYSTEM OF 256 POSSIBILITIES, PROOF THAT AFRICA'S BINARY LOGIC PREDATES THE MODERN CODE.

IN FACT, IFA BINARY LOGIC IS BEING USED IN MODERN APPLICATIONS LIKE WHATSAPP AND GOOGLE DOCS.

So this whole idea you entertain in your head that "WHITE PEOPLE" are responsible for technology, not blacks, is COLONIAL PROGRAMMING.

Get rid of it.

7upnigeria:
Avoided what, let the leaders in each state stand up and protect their people, LET THEM SUPPORT IMPLEMENTATION OF STATE POLICE.

What is even delaying that state police thing?

This is the problem with practicing western democracy. EVERYTHING TAKES FOREVER.

Debate upon debate in House of reps and Senate.

Kalulu44:
This is so so tragic, when will all this end?
So all the young guys I am seeing in that picture standing and watching over this dead bodies. What are they thinking, are they waiting till it will be their turn or what. Can't they arm themselves and wage a war against whoever is the perpetrator of this dastardly act

BY NOW, THOSE LAZY YOUTHS SHOULD HAVE ENTERED SOMEWHERE AND LEARNT TO BUILD SMALL GUNS AND FIREARMS THEY CAN BE DISTRIBUTING ROUND TO THEIR PEOPLE.

How many years will this continue while they do nothing?

I'm tired of feeling sorry for them. ARM YOURSELVES, WHATEVER IT TAKES, OR LEAVE THE REGION.

Nastrademus:
You can't condemn terrorist in Nigeria and support their sponsor from Iran

IRAN HAS A BIG FAT ZERO TO DO WITH THIS.

IRAN ONLY SUPPORTS HEZBOLLAH AND HAMAS TO FIGHT ISRAELI OCCUPATION.

IRAN IS SHIA ISLAM WHICH OPPOSES FORCED CONVERSIONS.

BOKO HARAM AND ISIS ARE SUNNI ISLAM GROUPS BACKED BY US ALLIES LIKE UAE, SAUDI AND QATAR.

IN FACT WHEN TURKEY WANTED TO RID ITSELF OF ISIS TERRORISTS, GUESS WHO THEY CALLED TO DO IT?

IRAN.

Sheuns:
Which Nigerians? The same Nigeria that was named by a white dullard?

The word Nigeria came to existence in 1914 and was named by a white dullard’s girlfriend called Flora Shaw.

Don't be ridiculous.

DID HUMAN BEINGS NOT EXIST IN NIGERIA BEFORE IT WAS SO NAMED?

THE Iron Smelting site in Lejja, Nsukka, is the world's oldest smelting site, and was carbon-dated to 2650 BCE, approximately 5,000 years ago.

That's the foundation of Modern Civilisation. IRON SMELTING.

Without Iron Smelting, the technology of extracting metal from ore using specific heating principles, you would have nothing made of metal today including the phone you just typed into, or cars, fridges, aeroplanes, trains, or computers.

In Igbo-Olokun near Ile-Ife, an ancient PRECOLONIAL GLASS MANUFACTURING COMPLEX was discovered, showing evidence of Large Scale Glass Manufacturing dating back over a thousand years.

AS AFRICANS, WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND AND REMEMBER THAT WE ARE THE ORIGINATORS OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.

WE MUST STOP THE COLONIAL PROGRAMMING THAT TELLS US WE ARE STRANGERS OR NEWCOMERS TO TECHNOLOGY.

IT IS A DELIBERATE COLONIAL LIE.

WE OWN THE VERY CONCEPT OF TECHNOLOGY.

WE INVENTED MATHEMATICS, WRITING, ARCHITECTURE, MATHEMATICS AND LOGIC SYSTEMS LIKE IFA, AND THE SCIENCES, THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE WHITES EXISTED ON THIS EARTH.

SO GET RID OF THE COLONIAL COMPLEX AND RECLAIM YOUR THRONE!

TallNigerian:
God bless you. Let's start with producing things that can improve our living conditions and that can be exported to fetch us foreign exchange. Basic household gadgets, we are still struggling to produce, that one is talking about drones. Even as cheap as the Iranian drones are, it's too expensive for a nation like Nigeria (especially as you said we are not under threat of any major external aggression). $21,000 usd per drone for a country which more than 60% of its working population earns N100,000 ($65) or less per month.

This is very SMALL TIME reasoning.

You are tigers who think you are mosquitoes.

If you think $21,000 per drone is too much for Nigeria, you are naive and thoughtless in the extreme. And clearly don't value your life.

When a single fighter jet costs TENS OF millions of dollars, you don't complain when we IMPORT 20 of them at once.

But use $21,000 to build your own drones, you stand up and start shouting "We are not ripe enough to build that. We are too poor, too underdeveloped, too corrupt, too nepotistic and tribalistic blah blah blah".

THESE ARE JUST JUST BYWORDS FOR LOW SELF ESTEEM. INFERIORITY COMPLEX. - ONLY "OYINBO" CAN BUILD. OUR JOB IS TO BUY WHAT THEY MANUFACTURE, NOT MANUFACTURE OUR OWN.

GET RID OF THAT MENTALITY.

The world has changed. THE RULE OF LAW HAS BEEN TRASHED BY USA AND ISRAEL.

Any country can wake up today and declare your country a threat, and start launching strikes.

So WE MUST DEVELOP INTERNAL SELF DEFENSE CAPACITY BEYOND MERE TALK.

Ofodirinwa:
shut up abeg

YOU'RE NOT A NIGERIAN.

SO YOUR INPUT IS IRRELEVANT.

This thread is for NIGERIANS.

UNDERSTOOD? MR SIMON EKPA ?

Newsmills:
Manufacturing ballistic missile or ballistic nepotism,manufacturing ballistic missiles is not tribal first class degree in quantum physics,nepotistic first class in mechantronics,nor arrangee commonwealth scholarships,it is placing a square peg in a square hole.

AND YOU, MR SQUARE PEG, WHAT SQUARE HOLE ARE YOU ABLE TO FILL?

What relevant skill do you have? ZERO.

WE HAVE NIGERIAN NUCLEAR SCIENTISTS AND PHYSICISTS WHO CAN BUILD ANYTHING WE ASK THEM TO BUILD.

OKAY?

donkarly:
US is not like Nigeria. Everything is done openly & publicly declared. If they're hiding number of casualties, the bereaved families will cry out.
The good thing is that the airman has been rescued. Whether it was US or Iran that destroyed the helicopters is inconsequential. They've got many of it & will keep replacing them,so no biggie

SHUT UP.

GO AND RESEARCH BEFORE TYPING RUBBISH.

THE US HAS A VERY LONG AND DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF UNDER-REPORTING ITS CASUALTIES IN WAR, ONLY REVEALING MORE INFORMATION AFTER THE END OF HOSTILITIES.

seunlayi:
Op, wake up

No, YOU wake up.

Where is the "rescued" pilot?

In Mar-a-Lago?

SlavaUkraini:
If this administration is a Success in your opinion then you must be the biological twin of Failure...

IT IS A GROWING SUCCESS.

THE ENTIRE WORLD AND THE NIGERIAN BUSINESS COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THE MANUFACTURING ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (MAN), AND INDUSTRY TITANS LIKE INNOSON, AIR PEACE, AND DANGOTE, ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THIS, SO YOUR HATE IS IRRELEVANT.

But I thought Trump said he had "completely obliterated" Iran's military?

How are they able to be shooting down all these highly advanced, powerful new jets, almost at will?

Something is not adding up here. 🤔

Iran will soon parade the real pilot in handcuffs, bringing global embarrassment to Trump and Hegseth.

Nigeria’s US$1 billion National Integrated Poultry Project takes flight

Nigeria’s poultry sector is preparing for transformation through the US$1 billion National Integrated Poultry Project, an initiative under the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership (NCSP).

Announced in early 2026, the project aims to boost egg and broiler production while tackling feed shortages and import dependence. The pilot phase of Nigeria’s National Integrated Poultry Projecthas nowbegun across Enugu, Kaduna, and Oyo states, with plans for nationwide expansion in 2027.

NCSP director-general Joseph Tegbe revealed the rollout at the Chinese New Year Temple Fair in Abuja, marking the 55th anniversary of Nigeria-China diplomatic ties. This phase prioritises integrated farming, combining poultry rearing with large-scale maize and soybean cultivation for a sustainable supply of feed.



A goal of 6 million eggs daily

The National Integrated Poultry Project features a full-spectrum approach, encompassing feed production, hatcheries, layer and broiler farms, processing plants, cold storage, and distribution networks. When fully operational, the National Integrated Poultry Project aims to house over 7 million laying birds and 2 million broilers, yielding 6 million eggs daily.

The plan also includes the cultivation of 60,000 hectares of crops for feed, directly addressing Nigeria’s poultry feed crisis exacerbated by rising costs and shortages.

Subsidised feed will extend to existing smallholder farmers, helping stabilise costs beyond the new facilities. Furthermore, technology transfer via scholarships and joint research under the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership will support long-term capacity building in agritech and poultry management.


State-level anchors and jobs

Kaduna State leads with a US$200 million component on 10,000 hectares, integrating feed crops, processing, and logistics to generate thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions in output.​ Enugu and Oyo will host parallel pilot sites, testing scalability before 2027 national rollout.

Overall, the project promises tens of thousands of direct jobs in farming and processing, plus indirect employment in supply chains.​


Broader economic impacts

By curbing poultry imports, the National Integrated Poultry Project targets food security and lower consumer prices for eggs and meat. It supports Nigeria’s push for agro-industrial self-reliance, potentially enabling future exports of processed products. As of March 2026, early pilot progress signals momentum toward these goals.

Botragelad:
Criticize the west that gives you freedom, support the Islamic regime that murders women for not putting on a religious piece of rag. 🤮

SHUT UP AND STOP LYING.

Women in Iran are not killed for not wearing the hijab, and according to Wiki, ''In September 2024... Iran's president Masoud Pezeshkian said that morality police will no longer "bother" women over the wearing of the hijab.''

ALSO, Iran has a small population of 300,000 CHRISTIANS served by 600 churches.

They are not persecuted for their religious beliefs.

SO GO AWAY WITH YOUR PROPAGANDA.

maasoap:
You don't seem to get it. You can't be doing something right and still need to suppress your people which includes jailing them without fair trial just because they criticise you. I don't know how we should explain this thing to you guys

YOU ARE WRONG.

Many indigenes who pose as innocent critics are backed by western powers and NGOs to sabotage progressive governments.

It's actually why the west pushes so hard for Western style "democracy" in Africa.

It makes African countries more vulnerable to their manipulation.

CHINA DOES NOT TOLERATE WESTERN DEMOCRACY NONSENSE.

They are a single party state, and it works for them.

Their jails are filled with political prisoners who fought to have western democracy in China.

HardMirror:
minus Sankara. The rest are all useless and evil leaders. And corrupt too.

ACCORDING TO WHO?

YOU?

WHO AND WHAT ARE YOU?

JUST SHUT UP, SMALL KID.

HardMirror:
list all the dictators and tell me the products from their countries that benefit humanity.

Products?

Are you a child?

The primary task that usually confronts leaders from Developing Countries is emancipation of their people from inherited imperialist policies that confine them to poverty and dependence.

THAT'S THE FIRST STEP FOR ANY COUNTRY - ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE.

Without that, you're going nowhere.

Trouble is, the African 'dictators' who try to do this usually get assassinated/deposed/sabotaged by western powers desperate to keep Africa dependent and subservient to them.

But the tide is turning against the west....

This latest Trump madness in Iran, with the growing humiliation of the US as a paper tiger, is another sign of western decline, as 12 of the 20 fastest growing economies on Earth are in fast-rising Africa.

HardMirror:
list the good dictators we have had in Africa. Then list all the dictators we have had. How many were good?

Good dictators?

Murtala Ramat Muhammed?

Thomas Sankara?

Ibrahim Traore?

Jerry Rawlings?

Muhammad Ghadaffi?

HardMirror:
so dictatorahip is better abi? Wow. This thread has really shown me how the brain of the black race works

SAID WHILE EVERYTHING IN YOUR HOUSE AND ON YOUR BODY IS MADE IN CHINA.

HardMirror:
don't mind them. Instead of voting for good leaders, they decided that dictators are better. Africa has no hope. Honestly. I can't believe people are praising dictators . Africa has zero hope. The problem is the mind of the black man. Something is seriously wrong with the black race

YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS NAIVE.

WORSHIPPING THE WEST.

Does China practice western democracy?

WHY CAN'T YOU DEVISE YOUR OWN SYSTEM?

Rubbish.

maasoap:
Either someone is has been lying to you or you are the one lying to yourself.


There were no terrorists or bandits problems in Nigeria at the time. If the military should start ruling Nigeria today, they can't make terrorism and banditary disappear like a magic. And they're corrupt too.


During Abacha regime, people were sleeping at the filling stations for weeks because, no petrol. People were using sawdust to cook because they couldn't afford kerosene. People were using cassava peels to make cassava flour.
How many parents could afford to send their kids to private schools like nowadays?

People were even scared of talking anyhow in public against the Abacha regime for fear of getting picked up by the SSS.

Today you can stand outside and abuse Tinubu from morning till night, no wahala.

Akalia:
Democracy is abused in Africa. The system of governments that will thrive in Africa is monarchical and autocratic system.

This is the same system (autocracy) that thrives everywhere.

'DEMOCRACY' is a facade.

^^Did Netanyahu build nuclear bunkers for you empty heads?

He and Trump certainly had them built for their selves and families if all this escalates to nuclear Armageddon.

Putindbutt:
That fraud was Abacha's boy, no surprises he was romanticizing his boss while dancing on the graves of hundreds of Nigerians who died fighting against the ruthless anti democratic regime of Abacha.

While patriotic Nigerians were sacrificing their lives for democracy, the fraud was eating fat, collecting contracts from Abacha at the ports and helping his boss loot Nigeria dry.

His boss hijacked power through a coup, suspended the constitution, dissolved ALL POLITICAL PARTIES, dissolved NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION. Yet to that fraud, Abacha was more democratic.

Under Tinubu, we have 21 registered political parties out of which two new parties were recently added. Yet to that fraud, a man who dissolved all political parties was more democratic.

When you ran away from your party and hijacked another man's party but rather than take responsibility, you start talking like a deranged man.

That he will never become President of Nigeria is not even a prayer but a statement of FACT.

Obi lacks the temperament and judgement to lead Nigeria.
