Which privately funded?

Dangote Refinery is 650k bpd capacity and it cost him $25bn adjusted for inflation to complete. Here a 350k bpd refinery in Ondo state is costing twice the amount Dangote’s own situated in Lagos cost and you think it’s not shady?

So you think Ondo state has $50 billion?

Do you know how much Nigeria's annual budget is?

The ignorance on this forum is just sad.

DID YOU NOT READ THE NAMES OF THE COMPANIES INVESTING THE MONEY IN THE ARTICLE??

By the way, it's 500,000 bpd not 350,000.

And most importantly, it's a PRIVATE INVESTMENT, so whatever it costs is none of your business!

Eminent2025:
That's nothing but excuse to embezzle. You never see refinery u start rejoicing. Never u rejoice on proposal by any Nigeria politicians. $50 billion refinery na just to use the name for looting. Next will be proposal for the refinery was allocated N30billion, land clearing N5billion, site inspection N7billion. The project will be completed by next administration

You sound like a kid.

Nigeria has moved beyond this thing you're talking.

That thing is a privately-funded project, not a govt-funded thing. It's anchored on shareholder profits, with no room for mismanagement without major breaches of contract among stakeholders.

Notice how the Prof did not refer to a "Christian
Genocide" even once in his speech.

Because he knows it's untrue, and just an excuse used for other agendas.

Must you talk ignorantly
Worldwide? What does that mean?

Is there any award for best Asian music?
No because they do not sell out themselves

Is there anything like American music? No they have different categories
So why one category for African music?

Even in Nigeria There is nothing like Nigerian music
We have Fuji, juju, Ogene, Highlife etc not to talk of the whole of Africa

The Grammy Award serves commercial interests
If Nigerians want it they should compete with the whole world not for some meaningless consolation category
There is nothing like African music there are dozens of genres and awards like this will kill them because Americans are now telling us what to sing e.g Fela sang about Skin bleaching =relevant to Africans
What is Tyler singing about that is relevant to Africans
The record labels have tried very hard to create a synthetic star with Tyler
Good for her but is her music African?

Bright Chimezie
Wasiu Ayinde
Seun Kuti
Awilo are African

If we continue to collude with this we will kill our own music

Fela could have been a multimillionaire if he did what the record labels wanted
He never sold out

Our music is not electronic

Today you have so called Award nominees that cannot play a single instrument

They are commercial successes but not spiritual and definitely NOT AFRICAN

Your arrogance is almost comical.

YOU don't get to decide for Africans what constitutes African music.

You have this very archaic conceptualisation of African music.

Who are you to say African music "is not electronic"?

African music is anything Africans want it to be, at any point in time.

African music is not static. It moves with the times, just like every other form of music.

See him calling Seun Kuti as if Seun Kuti sings Akpala music. Is his saxophone "African"?

You're talking about artistes not playing instruments.

In the next decade or two, there would be NOTHING like musical instruments, except perhaps in a museum.

THE DIGITAL AGE IS UPON YOU, AND IT WILL GET EVEN MORE INTENSE, WITH THE AI REVOLUTION.

ednut1:
of what use is it to the average Nigerian? Will you pay to see it in Nigeria?

What an ignorant thing to say.

ACTUALLY YES WE DO HAVE MUSEUMS IN NIGERIA, WHICH ARE VISITED DAILY BY NIGERIANS.

You're not a Nigerian, so you won't understand.

Vifx:
Ruin people's lives in the name of getting a quick buck

Honestly, they are a disgrace.

NO CONSCIENCE.

Why don't more people eat Lafun (white amala)?

If it's around, I never touch pounded yam or eba etc.

It's absolutely amazing with any soup!

VOsimhen144:
No, but I don try bread and fufu.
try the combo nd thank me later

Which kind of queer combination is this?

You guys are crazy.

jmoore:
There is southern Nigeria and northern Nigeria. Nigeria was divided when sharia law was introduced.

Remain confused, don't ask AI.

If the North wants Sharia law, how is it your problem?

Are they complaining that you use Common Law, ie Christian law, and Customary law in the south?

Why should everyone use only the type of law YOU like?

jmoore:
What happened to your AI? Stop asking us.

"Us"?

Who is "us"?

YOU'RE not one of us.

You're a secessionist masquerading as a Nigerian.

Jayhome24:
Hahaahahaha sorry I'm not a coward and I love my country die and its over 5 days now your almighty Trump hasn't come we have be waiting for him tell him to come.

Tell your almighty Trump to come is he scared or what?

Listen and listen good Tinubu will never go an meet Trump over enemy of Nigeria propaganda.

Some people were even expecting Tinubu to go to the White House and sit down with Trump before the cameras, to collect insults like happened with Zelensky, Ramaphosa, etc.

I told them "you people don't know Tinubu. He will never bring himself down to that level."

FreeStuffsNG:
They'll soon know that you can't bully Nigeria

Soon ke?

They already know they can't.

The minute Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping declared that they would not tolerate any invasion of Nigeria, the American tone changed immediately, to one seeking "relationship".

NOW that the Americans, via Rep. Mr Riley have CONFESSED that what they actually want from Nigeria is "a deepened relationship", HOW does Tinubu respond to this?

Does anyone know exactly what the US wants?

What do they mean by "deepened relationship"?

Miramonica:
but you need and take their aid.

WHAT FAKE AID?

THE US STEALS 1000 TIMES MORE FROM NIGERIA AND AFRICA THAN ANY PITIFUL "AID" IT GIVES.

PROGRAMMED PEOPLE.

bluefilm:
One for sure about the USA

They always have an ulterior agenda

OF THAT, YOU CAN ALWAYS BE SURE.

IF AN AMERICAN TELLS YOU "GOOD MORNING", LOOK OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW TO BE SURE IT'S MORNING.

ALTERNATEID:
It is now obvious to every sensible person that the threat and drama was never about protecting Nigerian Christians but about economic issues. China’s expanding relationship with Nigeria including Nigeria’s membership of BRICS are the problem. They want Nigeria as the biggest and most influential African country to pull back and return to being puppet of the parasitic West.

IS THIS NOT WHAT WE'VE BEEN SAYING HERE SINCE?

SINCE WHEN DID TRUMP START CARING ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE?

THEY ARE THIEVES, THESE SO-CALLED AMERICANS.

Whites in various countries have started building settlements that mimic African round huts with thatched roofing.

This building style is increasingly seen as the IDEAL architecture for low-cost , environmentally sustainable buildings, which keep you cool when it's blazing hot outside, and warm on cold nights.

NOW THE WHITES ARE CLAIMING THEY 'DISCOVERED' THIS HIGHLY SCIENTIFIC FORM OF SUSTAINABLE HOUSING, and popular comedian Godfrey has had enough!

ebukal67x:
The US under Trump is scared of the growing influence of Russia in Africa.

They are even more scared of Africa itself.

African leaders have changed. They are insisting on local processing of raw materials.

THAT is what is shaking the entire western system. Africa is now realising its power, as the continent that holds over half of the world's most essential minerals that will power the digital future.

Lithium, cobalt, and all this stuff.

So all these threats from Trump is all about America wanting to gain access to these critical minerals, by destabilizing/threatening resource-rich countries. But they will fail, because Africa - NIGERIA - is no longer isolated.

They have powerful backing from nuclear and economic superpowers.

NIGERIA, RUSSIA, DEEPEN MILITARY RELATIONS

On Saturday 10th May 2025 during a bilateral meeting with General Christopher Musa, Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, a Russian envoy described Nigeria as a strategic partner, citing its large population and key regional role.

The envoy expressed satisfaction with Nigeria’s willingness to collaborate on military and defense technology, saying, “We support Nigeria’s efforts to strengthen its national armed forces and ensure regional security.”

General Musa appreciated Russia’s support, including the donation of weapons and drones to combat terrorism in Nigeria and the Sahel region. The meeting, attended by top defense officials, aimed to discuss current defense priorities and pledge continued support.

Both sides are expected to finalize agreements enhancing training, logistics, arms supply, and intelligence-sharing in the fight against terrorism. General Musa praised Russia’s reliability, stating, “You don’t just make promises, you fulfill them”, the Nigeria’s CDS further Gen Musa, appreciated Russian Government for their support and commitment to the Armed Forces of Nigeria and for inviting him and his for the 80th victory military parade.

The Nigerian Defence Chief’s visit to Russia is seen as a significant step in consolidating military cooperation between the two countries. Both nations are expected to finalize agreements enhancing training, logistics, arms supply, and intelligence-sharing in the fight against terrorism. Improved military ties with Russia are expected to bolster Nigeria’s defence capabilities, enabling the country to better address security challenges in the region.

Getsaved:
What if Dangote is hiding terrorist, Fulani bandits, killer herdsmen, and Islamic jihadist in his refinery in the guise of workers there just like they are hiding as officers in the Nigerian military and other parastatals ?

There you go....

What did I say?

Next thing the Americans will claim Dangote is hiding terrorists in his refinery and then bomb it!

I'm sure you're their Nigerian spokesman and servant.

Goodmarlian:
World War 3 because of Nigeria?

Are you aware that Nigeria is home to some of the largest rare earth mineral reserves on Earth?

Are you aware that China and Russia have hundreds of billions of dollars of present and planned investments in Nigeria?

See him calling 'Nigeria' as if he's calling Malawi.

Ignorant people.

MaziObinnaokija:
Trump should ignore them.They are the enemies of Nigeria

Name one infrastructure your "FRIEND" America has ever built in Nigeria apart from their embassy?

They can't build for us, but they can bomb us.

Typical white people.

It seems like Fat Trump wants to start World War 3 on top of Nigeria's matter.

Hope he knows it will consume him as well.

RUSSIA WARNS TRUMP: HANDS OFF NIGERIA!

The government of Vladimir Putin of Russia, the world's largest nuclear superpower, has declared its opposition "in the strongest terms" to any invasion of Nigeria by the US, saying it is "closely monitoring the situation".

This comes a day after another nuclear superpower and economic giant, China, warned America not to dare try it.

SisterAnn:
What's worse than what you have now? Is it because it has not personally affected you?

Why have the Nigerian government who swore to protected lives not been up and doing?

HERE'S "what's worse than now".

Suicide bombs exploding in markets, malls, clubs, bus stops, eateries in Onitsha, Lagos, Aba, Ekiti, Ibadan, Enugu, as terrorists accuse the south of aligning with America to destroy the North.

It's when you become afraid to step out and do anything in the south, just as if you're living in Borno, because a bomb can go off anywhere anytime.

THE "insecurity" you claim is "everywhere", you will now see it for real, in your face.

The problem with you Nigerian youth is that you don't study, research or read anything.

The history of US intervention in other countries less complex than Nigeria, yet ended disastrously, should tell you what will happen if they come here.

SisterAnn:
And for that you want terrorism to continue spreading like wildfire in Nigeria?

USE YOUR HEAD.

Where has America ever gone, and not made it ten times worse?

TELL US!!

tundegan:
Trump is not a dictator. He is a former president and a typical politician that plays to the gallery.

Why is this what you care about? Nobody cares what you call him. He's a lying, narcissistic pig and racist who cares ONLY ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE.

So his claims to care for Nigerians is a wretched lie, because his own people are being slaughtered more than whatever is happening in Nigeria.

45,000 American Christians are lost to gun violence annually.

THAT'S 250,000 IN JUST THE LAST 5 YEARS, ACCORDING TO THEIR STATS.

Equivalent to 20 Boko Harams operating at once.

And NOTHING is being done to restrict gun possession in a country where you can walk into a shop, buy a machine gun and start spraying people.

Why does their fat dictator care more about Nigerian Christians than American Christians?

What does he really want?

Jakarta:
In most cases those who slaughtered these so called America Christians are caught and face the full wrath of the law. Unlike in Nigeria where they are even compensated and drafted into the military.
You shouldn't be scared or bothered if you are not a terrorist okay?

Less than 20% are apprehended.

PLUS, THAT DOES NOT BRING THE SLAUGHTERED PEOPLE BACK.

STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR THE AMERICAN HYPOCRITES.

Trump and his party are TAKING BRIBES from their gun manufacturers to not seize all the guns, and restrict access.

That's why 45,000 American Christians are SLAUGHTERED annually in America.

This is the same America that claims to be so "horrified" by what happens in Nigeria.

One day una go get sense.

Jakarta:
Why will he bomb Dangote refinery, is the refinery a terrorist hideout? Why are you disturbed about the US helping Nigeria to fight terrorists? Are you one, a wannabe, or a supporter? America is not going into a war with Nigeria, but the terrorists in Nigeria.

Why does America care more about Nigerian Christians than the 45,000 American Christians slaughtered annually in their country?

WHAT DOES THE RACIST TRUMP REALLY WANT FROM NIGERIA?

SINCE WHEN DID THE RACIST START LOVING BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE?

THE SAME BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE HE'S HOUNDING, OPPRESSING, AND SUPPRESSING IN HIS OWN COUNTRY?

What does he really WANT with Nigeria?

WHY SHOULD YOU TRUST A CERTIFIED RACIST TO COME AND "SAVE" YOU, AND NOT MAKE THINGS 10 TIMES WORSE?
