No, we are not an independent nation. No nation is. You are not independent if you borrow. Liz Truss thought United Kingdom was an independent nation but was quickly set aright.

The JewK is not and has never been a democracy but rather a vassal of World Jewry.

Its the most belittling misadventure


Are we not an independent nation?

Why are all major candidates other than Kwankwaso running to the west to seek endorsement from their politicians, media and policy groups?

You don't see any western or foreign candidate coming to Nigeria to seek support from us.

What's even the point in taking ones campaign train to Nigerians in the diaspora? Those ones are not allowed to vote and 99.9% of them won't buy a ticket to come down and vote.

Are these for just optics or full on ret@rdation ?

Why give an address to foreign policy group or centers ?

Why even take out Ads in the UK to campaign that you are running to be president ?

Is this not waste ?

So far Atiku, Tinubu and Obi have been guilty of this. And should be seen as a wasted effort that should be a harbinger to their future wasteful administration and cuck sucking to western elite.

How will this bring about their rogue nation ?

Haha! Urchins sef. So, which one should we believe? Tinubu's Nation Newspaper? Or his Bulaba

What concerns me with Tinubu ?

If you like continue polluting your brain with whatever Jewish filth in their media.

And, what do you have to say about this from Bloomberg and another from Financial Times quoted above? Abeg, tell yourself the truth and live happily. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-28/who-will-win-nigeria-s-presidential-election-peter-obi-leads-in-opinion-poll

All Jewish media.

Why should I trust a news source that promoted Covid and the ongoing war in Ukraine ?

Tradepunter2:
Please is traveling from port Harcourt safe around this period?

Go through Bayelsa and Delta.

Avoid SE especially Anambra

Lap dog for globo homo in the making.

Reuters that nearly got a nuclear war going by claiming falsely that Russia fired missiles into Poland despite it being a Ukrainian missile to trigger Article 5.

Reuters is owned by Rothschild by the way and they are a propagandist outfit masquerading as a reputable journalism outfit.

Franzinni:
you don't say.. well to each his own brother. But the same bible says people perish for lack of knowledge.

Do you think any human being needs to go listen to sermon every Sunday in church of they just read the Bible and tried to understand it themselves?

That is why people will remain sheep thinking they can fool God with their Luke warm life

Do you know the people God hates ?

Lukewarm people ... You rather be hot or cold becasue of you are lukewarm God says "I will spit you out " ... If that don't scare you then what will?

See this thread https://www.nairaland.com/7460357/christmas-not-xmas and stop hating on Christmas.

Franzinni:
it is of pagan origin .. i don't care about cancelling anything baba, Africans are bone headed it is a waste of time to try ! I am only stating what I know from research for those who have like minds to be enlightened.

I beg no one to believe me... It's an effort in futility when it comes to black people.

Remember if you want to hide the truth from a black man... But it in literature. They don't read..not to understand anyway!

Whatever it stood for is not important other than it is now a day set to celebrate the birth of Christ.

This is the only important thing to remember.

Franzinni:
It's a pagan activity ... Do your research before you quote me ... Dumbo!

Its a christian festival.

Stop with the Jew propaganda on trying to cancel Christmas

Knowing Naval command, these naval ratings will be swiftly rounded up and handed to the Police for prosecution.

Naval chain of command do not joke with indiscipline or any of their men and officers running foul with the law.

The ratings involved should just go on AWOL because their officers do not tolerate indiscipline and law breakers.

You're talking about oil and the north, but flashing weird misogynistic pictures on your thread. I don't get? Is it some form of advert promo or something?!

What's wrong with the pics ?

Moh247:


I think they intended to start with 60k barrels per day before scaling up to 120k barrels, and it is strictly for local consumption, from fertilizer plant, to refinery even 2500 mega watt power station

Buhari was smart to give north that gift because no southern President would ever invest that much in a project that isn't financially feasible

As drilling goes on, such marginal fields become more expensive to drill.

100k barrel refinery will add about a million litres of PMS .

Not going to replace imports or that from Damgote's mega refinery.

Moh247:


You are wrong, it's not a scam... The only scam is that Northern Nigeria simply used millions of Dollars for exploration of Oil that would only benefit Northern states

The business model for the JV aggrement is that Nigerian Government build a Refinery and Gas Fertilizer plant on site, so no drop of the oil would be exported, they intend using it only within Northern State for local consumption, since logistics cost from South is high on PMS and other products

I bn barrels is not that much .

A refinery that refines 100k barrels per day will operate for 25ys before tapping out .

Agbegbaorogboye:


It's not proven it's estimated and it's 1bn oil and 500bn gas
And yes!! It's a scam but not the dumb reason of the op

IOCs are having serious issues funding exploration from capital markets.

The ones still operating in Nigeria have divested from onshore to offshore .

Who in their right mind will fund exploration deep in the Boko North ?

Think

The US is bent on weaning the EU from Russian oil and gas.

The proposed Gulf pipeline to supply gas from the Persian gulf via Syria onward to Europe met a brick wall with Syria's Assad refusal to allow the pipeline to be laid through his country. For this, regime change using ISIS was initiated. Russia had no choice but to come to Assad's aid.

As events where unfolding , the US and NATO began exploring another route via Libya. Knowing Qaddafi will not agree to such , regime change was initiated.

The proposed Libyan pipeline to EU will carry Oil from deep in the Niger Delta .

But this is problematic owing to sabotage that will plague such a project. It is for this reason the north must be brought in as a stakeholder.


The gas and oil that will be pumped via this trans Saharan pipeline is coming from the Niger Delta.

BluntCrazeMan:
Civil Service is a welfare scheme??

I'm done discussing with you bro

The Nigerian civil service is a glorified welfare scheme .

How many of those in the civil service can truly justify their employment ?

A scenario where you have in a typical MDA more support staff than core professionals can not be seen as a professional outfit.

A civil service that every minister will dump his fellow village people and put his concubines on govt dole .

Its even far worse when you go to state and local govt level.

I remember my then northern girlfriend who was collecting salaries from 3 LGA and from the state govt as a full staff and the only time she ever went to the office was for physical versification.

This my ex gf I van bet is still collecting salaries even now that she is in federal employment.

BluntCrazeMan:
Do we continue to continue with the status quo??
Where the bulk of the resources are looted by the elites?? and the remaining ones shared amongst the cronies of the elites.??

The time for feeding on looted money and sharing of free-money is over.

Its not how money is added into the economy that is the issue.

Nigeria's economy is driving by and large by govt spending.

The problem has always been how the govt spending only encourages imports.

Take a typical govt office that will budget huge sums for imported stationary , office equipment, generators and A/Cs none of which is produced locally.

If the govt is sincere and insists on purchasing inventory from local manufactures , do you know how much it can conserve from wasteful imports that benefit foreign economies ?

Then we have looted funds that end up in offshore accounts like that of Anambra under Peter Obi .


There is a net drain of resources out of Nigeria and the only way to revert this is to cut wasteful imports .

BluntCrazeMan:
In as much as I understand what you're trying to say,, but then, this question of yours has digressed from the subject of the topic though.

1. Nigeria is not an import-based economy, and you know that

2. The “little” imports that Nigeria is doing is Not the main cause of the depletion of the Foreign-exchange reserves.

3. The individuals in the system are not working for their money. And it is really affecting the economy negatively.



The economy of import and export would be treated on another day.

Not making any sense .

Even your assertion of true productive employment proves that little is produced to add value to the economy through labour .

You just contradicted yourself by stating that the work force is not productively employed and that most people earn a living either through rent seeking or in jobs that are totally not useful e.g. Civil service that is more of a welfare scheme .

We will be going round circles with these DisObidient louts who want to turn convention upon its head in lame defense of the gaffes by their messiah.

An import based economy is a shelf stacking one where goods consumed are produced outside of its economy.

You import because you do not have the means and capacity to produce goods that will be priced competitively.

There is no going around this.

You can only export when you have the means to produce goods that can be competitive in pricing.

BluntCrazeMan:
The deceptive elites and politicians, as well as their paid media influencers are the ones misleading the people.

Thus, we are being made to believe a big lie all these while.

One now wonders how many more lies they have made us to believe..

So what kind of economy is an import based one ?

Bluntsisi:
I have always asked the question.
“Why do people always think that ‘Consumption’ and ‘Importation’ are the same thing?”

Import based economy is primarily a consumer economy since you don't produce any goods .

A net importing economy is one where capital flows out from leading to a deficit economy.

Origin Of Why Hausas Call Igbos Nyamiri

It is supposedly derogatory but the origin isn't really.
I spent a lot of my long vacations in the north of Nigeria growing up and asked questions about this word and this is what my relatives told me.

In northern Nigeria,it was common to see Hausas selling water on the streets,I saw that a lot in Jos.
They carried the containers tied to a wooden bar they hung on their necks

Igbos would yell out " Onye mmiri" which means " the one selling water" in order to attract the attention of the water seller
My family member had an eatery and we had an Onye Mmiri that came daily to fill up the container
Then the word Onye Mmiri i was told now became what they called their buyers and because of language,they called it Nyamiri which was the way it sounded to them.
The buyer called the seller Onye Mmiri,the seller called him nyamiri and with time Igbos and Easterners in general became known as Nyamiri.
@from Igbo history.

Wrong.

It predates Nigeria .

The word was coined by Arab slavers who did not fancy Igbo slaves because they never survived the long trek through the desert

The Igbo slave kept pestering his Arab slave master for water and that's how the word came about.
