gabbytabby: Incompetent people always try to play woke. Yes let China try to help. Too many Nigerians are saboteurs.
MR MAN..
EVEN IF GOD COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO RUN THE POWER SECTOR, HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONVINCE NIGERIANS THAT THEY NEED TO PAY GOOD MONEY FOR ELECTRICITY.
WHICH IS WHAT FORCES THE GOVT TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY DISCOS CAN CHARGE FOR POWER.
LIBERALISING THE POWER COSTS, IE ALLOWING THE DISCOS TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS HIGH ENOUGH FOR THE DISCOS TO REINVEST IN, AND IMPROVE SERVICE DELIVERY - IS POLITCAL SUICIDE FOR ANY PRESIDENT.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
SO IF YOU LIKE, BRING PEOPLE FROM PLANET JUPITER TO RUN THE POWER SECTOR, IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM THEY WILL FACE!
Goinhard: When some people say that the British should have left around 1999 I tend to accept their point... Since 1960 Nigerian government by Nigerians could only provide darkness nation wide. National grid falls in love everyday.
SHUT UP AND STOP TALKING RUBBISH.
OUR FIRST POWER PLANT, KAINJI DAM WAS BUILT IN 1964.
THE BRITISH ONLY CAME HERE TO LOOT, AND BUILT NOTHING.
IF THEY WERE STILL HERE, YOU'D BE BE AN ILLITERATE BECAUSE THEY BUILT NO PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
ACCORDING TO AI CHATGPT, THEY LOOTED $50 TRILLION FROM NIGERIA.
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TEACH YOU WHITE-WORSHIPPING NIGERIAN YOUTHS THAT COLONISATION WAS A SYSTEM OF ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION DESIGNED TO BENEFIT THE COLONISING NATION AND IMPOVERISH THE COLONISED NATION.
SO ASKING THEM TO ''STAY LONGER'' IS THE HEIGHT OF IGNORANCE AND BUFFOONERY.
Gbadugbakun: Lagos is just an overpriced and over rated slum. Imagine praying over $5m for a property at Ikoyi or Eko Atlantic City, on less than a thousand square kilometers, no central water or waste system, you have to arrange yours, you must provide your own security, electricity and other basic amenities. Yet properties are more expensive than far more developed cities in the US.
Use your brain.
Is it the landlord's job to develop the city?
Why should he underprice his house because he is in a developing country?
Is there a different price for building materials for nice houses than exists in America?
And do stop lying about property prices. THEY ARE INFINITELY LOWER IN NIGERIA THAN AMERICA.
Despite Nigerian houses getting built with concrete and cement, and American houses of cheap wood.
Jacoban20: Card carrying APC data boys must be exempted from the hardship, I believe.
A person must be morally very worthless to still be supporting this failed Tinubu administration. What perimeter for failure are you waiting to see covered before you admit he has failed
Intolerant tribalist.
This is a Democracy.
Stop insulting people for their democratic choice.
Danja: I wonder why Christians see Jews as their friends and Muslims as their enemies. No good Muslims will desecrate Mary. Muslims even believe in the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ. Jews called Mary prostitute as they believe that she bore his out of wedlock.
Because it has NOTHING to do with religion.
It's all about them worshipping their white masters, and hating non whites.
essentialone: The Myth of “African Science” – by Professor Uchenna Nwosu When I googled African “Science” on the net it yielded no result. Not one. The closest definition/explanation I could find was when I googled black magic. Lest you misunderstand, black magic does not mean the magic of black people, nor does white magic mean that of white people. Black magic is magic with evil intent while white magic is magic with benevolent intent. The practice of black magic, hexing or voodoo is no longer in vogue in the developed world. However, it is still rampant in Africa and some Caribbean islands, especially Haiti. In Igboland, it is known as ịda ọgwụ when it is deemed protective or ịkọ ọgwụ when the aim is hostile. African Science is mostly based on charms which may be worn as rings, bracelets, waist bands or even effected by inoculation into the skin. What makes them African, and therefore different from General Science is that they apparently do not obey the physical laws of the external world, such as the laws of motion. This is exemplified by the concept of Ọdụ Ụna, where a lorry driver fortified with it in the form of a ring or a waist band is said to be magically removed harmless at the moment of impact, from the site of his own motor vehicle crash. Nor does African Science obey the requirement that something moving, such as a bullet, cannot be stopped without discharging its energy on the object (momentum), hence we hear of concoctions or charms that make the body bullet-proof. Even the law of gravity does not stand a chance in African Science, hence a native doctor can fly home without wings from a distant town (ikwu ikiri). Note that this phenomenon is said to happen only at night, thereby limiting the opportunity for documentation. African science even defies biological laws; hence some practitioners are alleged to be able to change at night into animal forms like the leopard (ihi agụ), only to return to his/her normal human body at dawn after ravaging domestic animals. Scientific Secrecy Unlike General Science, African Science is always cloaked in secrecy. It is not readily verifiable by normal scientific methodology, and has failed in rare cases of such attempts. Take the case of one Mr. Umaa Ukor reported on the BBC on December 17, 2013, and I quote: “In December of 2003, a traditional “healer” was killed in Benue State of Nigeria while testing an anti-bullet charm he prepared for his client. The charm which was designed in the form of an amulet, to be worn around the neck, was prepared for one Mr. Umaa Ukor. To demonstrate its efficacy, the “healer” whose name was given as Ashi Tarfa placed the charm around his own neck, and asked Umaa to shoot at him. Obliging Tarfa’s request, Umaa pointed the gun at his head and squeezed the trigger. On impact, the bullet shattered the man’s head…” Anti-Bullet Charms and Armed Robbery, http://Valentineodika.blgspot.com.ng Similar incident was reported on Linda Ikeji’s blog when Yisa Aniwose, an Odua People’s Congress leader in Lagos State, was shot and killed by his friend, John Taju, while testing the efficacy of his newly acquired bullet-proof charm. Bullet-proof Charm Fails OPC Leader: Dies after being shot by friend. (http://www.lindaikejisblog.com) Charms and amulets deployed in magical healing by some African traditional practitioners & medicine men/women. Some would characterize this craft as a variant of witchcraft. African Scientist and his Charms (http://Valentineodika.blgspot.com.ng) A final word about charms, fetish, idols and shrines: Physical laws do, in fact, govern the external world! Any charm or fetish consists of its individual components’ parts. A piece of leather smeared with chicken blood becomes leather + chicken blood. Dip it in vegetable juice and it becomes leather + chicken blood + vegetable juice. Use it to wrap a cowry and it becomes a cowry wrapped with leather, which was smeared with chicken blood and dipped in vegetable juice. At no point does it become anything else. It remains the sum of its component parts. Only your mind is capable of making it “something else”. It is regrettable that Nollywood now uses the technologies of General Science to lend credence to the phenomena of witchcraft in the so-called African Science. Through digital video manipulation Nollywood can now create “spirits” electronically in their movies, thereby hoodwinking the gullible into believing in their real existence. Hexing and Un-hexing African Science now features increasingly in medical practice. Think of ịgha ntụtụ and ịta ntụtụ, where nails and other metal objects are supposedly sent with evil intent into a victim’s body by practitioners of the craft. They are just as mysteriously extracted by other (or same) practitioners, leaving no entry or exit wounds on the skin! Think of Enyi Ule/Ure, said to be inflicted on victims through remote means. Curiously, “African Science” seems to advance in tandem with modern science and technology. For instance, the phenomenon of “sending” became common place only with the introduction of the Television (TV) Remote Control gadget into our culture. Apparently, it is reasoned that if one can send a signal to the TV by pushing a button from a distance, surely one can also send a hex to a victim from a distance – even if the intended victim was in another continent. With a little more imagination this concept has been extrapolated to “stealing other people’s testicles” and appropriating a person’s favorable destiny to one’s self! African Science and Medical Quackery African Science has blended seamlessly with medical quackery. These days, there is no hour that two or three vendor trucks equipped with loud speakers are not peddling “drugs” which supposedly can cure every illness on earth through the magic of African science. In the true scientific medicine, we do not give credit to any drug until we have compared the result of treatment using the drug with that of a “control”, which is a dummy or pretend drug that looks exactly like the real drug. The control “drug” is known as placebo. It is usually a harmless substance like starch or sugar tablet. But using a control is not even enough. The drug in question has to be also subjected to a randomized, double-blind study. Let me explain this procedure: A single controlled study means that two groups of patients who meet the following requirements will be assigned for the study: Patients in both groups should be matched, or have similar profile such as age, gender, similarity of condition, etc. The number of patients in each group should be sufficient to avoid statistical errors, which means getting a false result by a lucky chance. Here is what is meant by lucky chance: if one tosses a coin only three times one may get a head or a tail all three times by lucky chance. But if one continues to toss the same coin 100 times or more one would get a head or tail half of the time. Therefore, the initial result was gotten by chance alone. Randomized means that there is no selection bias in deciding who goes to the test or control group. Therefore, assignment could be on the basis of a blind draw from a bag or other similar method. Double blind means that neither the patients nor the testers know who is receiving the test drug or who is receiving the placebo. Only a third party who is not directly involved in the drug test will have the key. It is only after such trial that we know what drug works and what drugs do not work as claimed. Why do we have such stringent rules for testing drugs scientifically? Because unlike a machine, our body has its own in-built medical team in each organ system. This team is called the immune system. It fights germs and disease, and can repair many damages in the organs. That is why any person who calls himself/herself a doctor can take credit for “curing” some patients, even with quackery. But he/she can also retard the process of the immune system by doing the wrong thing, or giving an untested medicine. The key to good medical practice is to “first do no harm” to the body (primum non nocere). This in fact is the motto of scientific medicine. Conclusion 1. There is nothing like African Science, Asian Science, American Science or British Science. There is only one science – General Science 2. General Science obeys the physical laws of time, space, motion, gravity, etc. 3. Haiti is the most backward island in the Caribbean while Africa is the most backward of all the continents in the world. With their respective penchants for the so-called African Science, one would have expected Haiti and Africa to be the world leaders in science and technology. 4. The human body has in-built “health team” in every organ in the form of the Immune System. Therefore, unlike a machine, the body can repair itself to a limited extent provided that the medication or treatment delivered to it does not become an obstacle. 5. We should be careful to see that the non-orthodox doctor truly understands the illness he/she treats and the medication or treatment given for the illness has been well-tested so it does not harm the patient instead.
BLACK AFRICANS INVENTED WRITING, MATHEMATICS, ARCHITECTURE, MEDICINE, WERE THE FIRST TO MINE MINERALS.
IRON SMELTING, THE VERY FOUNDATION OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY, WAS INVENTED IN LEJJA, NSUKKA, NIGERIA, WHERE THE WORLD'S OLDEST SMELTING SITE WITH SEVERAL TONS OF SLAG HEAP WERE DISCOVERED AND CARBON-DATED TO 2650 BCE.
THE AFRICAN SCIENCE YOU MOCK, BECAUSE YOU'RE COLONISED, IS THE VERY BASIS UPON WHICH MODERN COMPUTING IS FOUNDED.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the objectives of "Operation Epic Fury" have been concluded and the offensive stage of the war with Iran is "over"
YOUR IMPORTED "JESUS" AND "MUHAMMED" CANNOT PROVIDE SUCH CONDITIONS, AND HAVE FAILED SPECTACULARLY TO INSTIL ANY MORAL VALUES IN YOU.
ONLY TURNED YOU INTO BANDITS, KIDNAPPERS, SCAMMERS, RITUALISTS - ALWAYS CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS - WHO ABUSE OUR NOBLE TRADITIONAL SPIRITUAL SYSTEMS TO ENRICH THEMSELVES, TRIBALISTS, WHITE SKIN WORSHIPPERS, MANY OF WHO BLEACH THEIR SKIN AND STRAIGHTEN THEIR HAIR TO LOOK LIKE WHITES, AND CORRUPT LOOTERS OF PUBLIC FUNDS.
Yet Uyo, PH, Calabar and other South South Cities are 1000 years and steps ahead of of Benin city...does it means Uyo, PH, Calabar were not colonized by British...
Na Cultisims, agberoism and mumu Oba wey nor dey allow govenors do their work...dey destroy Benin City...Oyibo man hand no dey...una build wall of Jericho in the middle ages, now wetin hold una to build simple flyovers, modern housing estates, strong roads and control erosion destroying the villages
Benin was completely burned down, obliterated and looted in 1897 by the British, so it WAS DESTROYED BY COLONIAL INVADERS.
Not just colonised. SMASHED.
YOU YOURSELF WERE DESTROYED BY COLONIAL INVADERS, which is why you call yourself a 'Christian' today, and hate and mock your own precolonial history.
The Benin example is meant to show you Nigerian youths that you had working precolonial systems that were admired as World Class by the same Europeans you worship as gods today.
AND DEVELOPMENT IS NOT ABOUT "HOUSING ESTATES AND FLYOVERS".
IT'S ABOUT LIVING IN A CITY WITHOUT THE NEED FOR FRONT DOORS OR GATES, BECAUSE THEFT IS UNKNOWN.
THAT'S WHAT WE CALL CIVILISATION.
NOT FLYOVERS.
THE DESTRUCTION OF BENIN IS ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR HIGH CIVILISATION, NOT MERE INFRASTRUCTURE.
YOUR BRITISH-INVADED COUNTRY OF TODAY, CAN YOU SAY THIS ABOUT ANY CITY:
"The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses."
AS WAS SAID OF BENIN BEFORE THE BRITISH DESTROYED IT?
CAN YOU BUILD A HOUSE IN YOUR CALABAR AND PORT HARCOURT AND UYO TODAY WITHOUT MAXIMUM SECURITY, FENCING AND BARBED WIRE, PLUS GATEMAN?
NO.
WHY?
BECAUSE THE BRITISH COLONIALISTS DESTROYED OUR SOCIETY AND DESTROYED OUR SPIRITUAL AND MORAL VALUES, AND REPLACED THEM WITH CHRISTIANITY WHICH PREACHES "FORGIVENESS OF SIN", IE LICENSE TO COMMIT CRIMES WITH IMPUNITY.
SO TODAY YOU CAN STEAL AND LOOT FUNDS AND ROB AND KIDNAP WITHOUT MORAL OR SPIRITUAL CONSEQUENCES INSOFAR AS YOU ACCEPT A FAKE WHITE MAN AS YOUR "LORD AND SAVIOUR".
THAT IS WHY WE ARE DESTROYED BY COLONIALISM.
WE MUST RETURN TO AND UPDATE AND REESTABLISH OUR TRADITIONAL SPIRITUALITY WHICH GAVE US CITIES "WHERE THEFT IS UNKNOWN AND THE PEOPLE LIVE IN SUCH SECURITY THAT THEY HAVE NO DOORS TO THEIR HOUSES".
Goddyuduak: So because Abuja is beautiful, we should not have a refinery, We should not have employment We should run away from our communities like we're doing now We should not be producing anything, even the oil we have we sell it to buy petrol instead of refining it. We should not have good education rather the Britain is planning to come build their schools in Nigeria We should not have healthcare, rather manpower drain People should be killed in churches We should not have light Ogoni is bleeding but that’s where the wealth of the nation comes from Our oil and gas money is being shared, and they still borrow to add to the ones they're stealing For all these and more, we should not talk because Abuja is beautiful, according to a Ugandan content creator, so everyone should carry their phone, open a youtube channel and head to Abuja to start cashing out the millions of dollars we're sitting on, And you think you're a motivational speaker now. God will punish you!!
In the time you used to type this thing, that small Ugandan girl earned $450 dollars cash.
Okoyeeboz: See hoekoeroe people. They are angry that someone is saying Abuja looks nice.
When the lady said Ebonyi looks nice, they all applauded her. She said Anambra looks good, they cheered her. But now that it is Abuja, they are crying.
