Iran has not even started anything yet o. The kind of regional chaos that Iran has planned no be here. By the time they unleash the basij and quds forces numbering millions on Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and uae, to invade and topple the family monarchies in those countries, and the houthi rebels in Yemen close off the Arabian sea again and simultaneously start invading Saudi Arabia, and Hezbollah starts incursion into northern Israel with thousands of fighters , that is when the doubters here will realize that Iran can single handedly literally destroy the whole middle east including Israel. Those Iranians were not joking when they said they anticipated and therefore prepared for a war with the U.S for more than 30years . Douglas Macgregor (a retired U.S Colonel) estimated that Iran has 45,000 ballistic missiles and producing even more. Have you guys even seen there underground missiles cities? Those guys are prepared for any dooms day scenario you can imagine |
brain54:You are so naive in the regional dynamics of the middle east. You think the Iranians don't know that the so-called evacuations of the military bases are all deceptions? Who evacuates a massive military base in a matter of days? Where will you take all those thousands of soldiers and equipment to? The Iranians have their own satellites and intelligence gathering mechanism to determine what targets to attack. Also, there is a reason why those neighboring gulf Arab countries were attacked first. They are the nearest dangerous hypocrites that needs to be tackled and taken care of first. Lets just wait and see how all these games and deceptions play out |
Justiceleague1:Kai, ignorance is indeed blissful. So in your mind you think you make sense abi? Please don't tell me that you don't know that literally half of Cameroon are Fulani people. Not even hausa and Fulani and others like northern Nigeria, but pure Fulani people gon gon. The purest of the fulani ethnic group are even the Cameroonians. So my hope for you is that your hate for the fulani people will not eventually cause you high BP. Chill and calm down, there is absolutely nothing you can do to change the demographic reality of both Nigeria and Cameroon |
If you check well now you will find out that this degenerate man has extremely poor family members, his own home town might not even have pipe borne water supply, yet he can spend 1.5billion naira to marry a Lebanese woman. This story is shamefully familiar with Nigerian so called elites. Very useless and foolish bunch of people. They have the financial means to single handedly transform their entire families and home town, yet the foolishness of the typical African will simply not allow them to make any impact. They're happy living lavishly in the midst of poverty. Atleast if you can go to that length of buying somebody's wife (as if you can't go to the abroad yourself and marry any type of woman you want), atleast take care of her and give her and give her the best life money can buy, but no, he just had to screw himself up and maltreat her and even sleep with her daughter. Now he will end up loosing everything, his name is tarnished, he will loose millions in the likely upcoming Court case, his businesses will be ruined and so forth. Its all downhill for him from here. Now imagine if he had lived his life like dangote, build industries in his home town, genuinely and legitimately marry any woman he wants from anywhere in the world instead of buying somebody's wife. I have no pity for him because I personally know this kind of people. Very stingy and wicked to their own family but can spend any amount imaginable on women. I hope he loses all his money and investments. Bunch of low life, low morals hypocrites masquerading as leaders in society |
Fuckyoumod:How about the other around, the Jews should surrender their arms and leave the so-called Zionist colonial entity called Israel. After all 90% of them are in reality settler colonialists from eastern Europe and the U.S. Tell me when Hamas started the war as you claimed. At this point, there is no way Israel is getting out of this quagmire without being humiliated and destroyed. The settler colony has already Lost close to 5000 soldiers and a thousand armored tanks and bulldozers in Gaza. More than 10,000 permanently disabled Zionist baby killers, they are being physically assaulted and chased out wherever they visit from the Zionist ambassador in south Korea kicked out of a restaurant with his family, to Jewish tourists beaten down in Rio de Janeiro, Jewish football fans receiving jungle justice in Belgium, to a Zionist cruise ship turned back and chased out of Greece. The whole world has rejected their ethno supremacist colonial project in the middle east. They will definitely not last long. They will come out of this whole debacle humiliated, scorned and rejected globally, and they will definitely pay for the crimes committed against innocent defenseless civilians. |
Let me volunteer in being the outcast here. I refuse to see hamas as terrorists. They were elected into government by there own citizens, and what they were doing since before being elected and upto this moment is called resisting occupation and not terrorism. Resisting occupation by the occupied people is a fundamental right recognized by the united nations. Same thing Mandela did and was called a terrorist by the apartheid government of south Africa, Charles de Gaulle was also called a terrorist once opon a time, the Algerians were also called terrorists for resisting french occupation, the Vietcong of Vietnam were also called terrorists, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara were also called terrorists, Simon Bolivar too was called a terrorist for resisting Spanish imperialism, and to top it all, George Washington was a terrorist to the British and look how that turned out. So you actually think it makes sense for the the Palestinians to sit by and watch as they are invaded and occupied, besieged, starved, humiliated, property destroyed etc without fighting back and inflicting pains on the entity doing that to them? It actually makes sense to you? As to the Arab countries threatening to abandon the gazans until hamas disarms, it is not a new thing. The arabs have proven to be traitors since the time of the ottoman empire. They might as well just publicly announce their allegiance and servitude to Israel. Humiliation and shame will surely be the portion of those Arab countries. Isn't It just amazing how the world has completely turned upside down such that commiting genocide on a defenseless population and practicing ethno supremacy is seen as normal, however resisting occupation and fighting back your own oppressor is seen as terrorism and evil? |
MT:All these you have written is nonsense. I did not elect any government to provide me with any goddam enabling environment. Is it why governments are elected? The role of any government is to provide its citizens with necessities of life like quality health care, education, security, power supply, drinking water etc etc. Not all these nonsense capitalist ideas of government providing so-called enabling environment and the citizens should do the rest. By the way, you guys keep saying that the government's policies are on the right direction and you people always fail to mention a single one of those so-called right policies. Not a single power generating plant has been build since buharis government uptil now, which is what truly matters if you are to industrialize, and in so doing create millions of jobs. Ajaokuta steel company is still comatose and dead, and industrialization is not possible without a functional steel industry. The list is endless jor. If what you mean by right policies is the floating of the naira to the mercy of the markets and speculators, removal of subsidies on literally everything, refusing to increase the national minimum wage but instead only the executive and legislative branches enjoying enormous pay , not a single national public transport system in operation and yet the president buying a brand new presidential jet costing atleast 150million dollars, 5 billion naira yatch etc etc those are nothing but policies of an economic hitman, sent to commit the treasonable crime of destroying his own country's economy. |
You mean the IDF prisoner of war. The guy was a serving member of the IDF, he was captured as a prisoner of war, and later killed by his own Israeli bombs. So he got what he deserves |
obagofizzy:You guys that keep saying Israel really dealt with them or Israel has really finished them etc who exactly do you mean Israel has dealt with? Is it Hamas you mean or civilians? Because if it is Hamas that you mean, then be aware that Hamas still has 30,000 fighters in Gaza according to most western news outlets. There impressive tunnel network is still intact. There communication infrastructure still intact, there legendary fighting capability still intact, and that explains why Israel couldn't so much as rescue or even find a single one of their prisoners of war . If on the other hand you mean Israel has dealt with civilians in Gaza, and destroyed enormous civilian infrastructure like shifa hospital, Indonesia hospital, university of Gaza, Gaza airport, thousands of civilian homes and apartment buildings etc then is that something to be proud of? Is that what you are boasting of to mean they are the strongest army around? Is that not even shameful? You can't defeat an armed group, so you turn around and start killing civilians in their thousands and call It "dealing with them" . And that is why the whole world is united in calling out Israel for what it is doing, commiting genocide on defenseless civilians, and for that, it will be brought to justice |
Nigerians can be naive sha. Stop making this whole thing look like some deep conspiracy Jason Bourne kind of stuff. We are not that sophisticated like you guys like to think. This whole thing is so simple. I assure you there is no so-called boko haram terrorists trying to buy any goddam starlink dish, they don't even know what starlink is. What is going on here is something that has become well-known and regular occurrence in the north east in recent years. A lot of illegal Chinese and Asian miners have flooded into Nigeria and especially the North East conducting all sorts of precious stones mining illegally, they don't even hide themselves anymore, going into town markets iand buying food stuff in bulk and heading back into rural areas where cecular network isn't even available to continue mining. There are so many of such sites that if you can buy a starlink kit and open a small internet service near such mining sites, you will get unimaginable profits, and that is LITERALLY what many educated youths near where those mining sites are located are doing. I have seen it first-hand. So don't allow the government to use scare mongering on you by selling this obviously fake story of terrorists buying starlink satellites. There is no way a stark illiterate bandit or boko haram terrorist would have the idea to buy starlink. Do they even know what it is? How can they set it up and operate it? Mtseeeew government propaganda eh? |
For me it is how oyibo people hyped dipping strawberry in half frozen yoghurt. I used to imagine that the taste will be too heavenly. I tried it and was totally disappointed. Secondly is how they hype the so-called candy apples. Puting an actual apple on a stick, either boiling it or dipping it in hot honey or something sweet like a sugar plus food coloring mixture and allowing it to air dry. It looked perfect on TV and you would think it will taste heavenly sweet, I tried it too but was totally disappointed. The apple became mushy and tangy, the whole thing tasted more like a blant tangy chewy something that I can't even describe.

Do you need more evidence to know that you are living in a failed and disfunctional country? If not, what is a soldier doing outside of a barracks? How will a civilian have the avenue to even call a soldier to come out of the barracks to go and intervene in a civilian matter? And you wonder why terrorists exist. If you like don't plan your japa out of this failed country. |
Botragelad:Chai, you people with hyping of this isreal like your lives depends on it, it is only to worship isreal remain for una now. By the way, isreali military wasn't harmed in anyway you say? Go and show us IDF headquarters in kiryat downtown TelAviv, whether it is still standing or not, go and show us nevatim airbase and telnof airbase whether they're still operating, I have real time video footage of direct hits on all that I am listing here. What of the mosad headquarters, what of aman headquarters, what of the clandestine soraq hospital that is a glorified military hospital, what of dimona nuclear reactor and soreq reactor that stores some of isreal's secret nuclear weapons, what of the IDF command and control centers in Haifa and TelAviv that were also hit hard. What of natanyahu home that was damaged, the TelAviv stock exchange, the Haifa refinery and port and power plant and many many more strategic targets that were either completely destroyed or damaged beyond repair, remember the Weizmann technically center that conducts research on biological weapons and provides the IDF with chemical and biological weapons? It too was completely destroyed. Now which of these will you deny that it didn't happen? The whole world so and witnessed it live and direct. The whole world also witnessed the utter failure of the so-called iron dome systems and David sling or whatever the F it is called. I downloaded and kept some of those direct hits and destruction for exactly people like you that will come online later on when the war has ended and claim that isreal won the war a d that Iran was devastated. As for Iran, other than the surface level of the natanz and fordow nuclear sites, and assassination of their top commanders and generals, what has isreal managed to do other than bombing a hospital in Tehran, bombing the Iranian state tv headquarters, and some few decoy jet fighters in a few airports. For your info, the nuclear enrichment facilities of Iran goes for 600 metres underground, non of their missile cities that are spread all over Iran and underneath mountains were touched, most of the ballistic missiles you see being bombed are actually decoys if you know what that means. Look kid, accept it or not, isreal is no match for Iran. I would have wished that the war would have dragged on just a little longer, then you would have seen what real madness is, isreal would have run out of interceptors, the Persian gulf would have been blocked by Iran, U.S airbases would have been laying in ruins by now, Ben gurion airport would have been decimated by now, Eilat port in southern Israel would have been destroyed, there is basically no way isreal would have come out of this conundrum without being destroyed. Do you even know the level of hatred isreal has garnered for themselves nowadays? People were just waiting for the opportunity of who will weaken them like Iran has done so as to pounce on them without mercy, then out of nowhere trump pulled a ceasefire out of his a*@#$, and luckily for isreal, they were quick to accept it knowing fully well the predicament they were in. And here you are in Nigeria, a black, African third world country, worshipping the most vile and hateful group of people in recent times. People that are so racist that you can't even convert to their religion. You would have to be born a Jew from both parents, and have a white skin before being considered equally a Jew. |
God1000:Were you believing the two tongued devils before? that is how they keep saying that only about 300 of their soldiers are killed in Gaza since 2023, even though clear evidence suggests the real number may be closer to 5000. You can easily do the math by your self, the Yasin 105 tandem anti tank rpg has two tandem charge heads, the first one will penetrate the thick outer armour of the merkava tank while the second will explode inside the tank proper. Now if you consider that each tank carries at least four Crew members, and that from video evidence alone, hamas has succeeded in completely destroying close to a thousand merkava tanks since October 2023, then the Truth is that the IDF must have lost more than 4000 soldiers on Gaza. They'll also never show you the massive damage Iran is currently inflicting on them. A ballistic missile that can easily kill one hundred people, they will Tell you 10 people were injured. They'll never show you that today Sunday, Iran inflicted massive direct hits on Ben gurion airport, soreq nuclear research reactor, another IDF command and control center and many other places with their most powerful ballistic missiles till date, but will they show you that? Only busy showing you some homes that were impacted |
Jetline:Do you really believe the trash you are spewing? No U.S bomb can destroy those nuclear sites you are seeing, the Iranians are not fools you know, some of those enrichment facilities you keep hearing on the news in being targeted by Israel goes up to 600feet under hardened rock and concrete. No bomb on earth can penetrate that deep. Not even nuclear weapons. The U.S just likes to over exaggerated themselves too much just like isreal is fond of doing untill they met their match in madness (Iran). That bunker buster bomb they keep hyping in the news was used to pummel the tora bora mountain in Afghanistan day and night for months in the search for bin laden while he was sipping his afghan tea right in those mountains without worry in the world. The Iranians have been preparing precisely this war for decades, trust me when I tell you they are more prepared than you think. These are people that can single handedly throw the whole middle east into uncontrollable chaos and destruction. There is a reason why the U.S is acting confused on whether to join isreal in attacking or not. The consequences are that dire for the U.S to get confused |
moscow007:You people should stop hyping the impact of the U.S joining the war. Absolutely nothing extraordinary will happen, will it be more hotter or intense that the wars they have joined before? Have they not joined Vietnam war, afghan war, Korean war, Iraq war etc etc what is it they will do that they have not done on those other countries? Have they not been literally defeated in Vietnam, korea,, Afghanistan etc they certainly without a doubt will not be able to put boots on the ground, nor take there aircraft carriers anywhere close to Iran, meaning that only bombing missions will be possible, and they certainly don't have a limitless supply of bombs or jet fighters to continue bombing in order to create the damage to actually make any difference. Plus the damage Iran will inflict on the U.S and it's interests is simply too severe to risk it. All for what? For that pariah country called isreal? |
ClearFlair:Mtseeeew what heavy price othan than the heavy price isreal is paying in the hands of Iran. By the way, that soroqa hospital is where IDF child killers go to be treated after receiving a beating from the Gaza resistance fighters
|
Agbegbaorogboye:You must be offline these past three days then. Why then is the isreali government banned ALL foreign and local media organizations from accessing those sites that were hit by those ballistic missiles? It is not only the mossad HQ that's destroyed, the Haifa refinery, dimona nuclear power plant, Raphael systems telnof airbase, nevatim airbase and many many more. Why aren't journalists allowed access to those sites? And wait for what will happen this night into tomorrow morning. You think say the Iranians are a joke of a nation like ours here? Again I ask you, why isn't the isreali government allowing foreign journalists to access all the proven impact sites of the ballistic missiles? |
This is part of what the mainstream media will not show you.
|
https://youtube.com/shorts/SCUknnJAOwI?si=EvFwKkArnMVnl-lI Iran doesn't just fire missiles at night, the over censored isreali state just doesn't show you majority of the pummeling they are getting from Iran especially of so-called sensitive targets that were destroyed. The above video is just one example. It is a massive barrage of missiles fired this Tuesday morning totally destroying the mosad headquarters and several other important military industrial complexes, but if not for Israeli citizens recording and posting like this, you would have never heard about it or seen it. To tell you how isreal is hiding alot of things going on there, just yesterday they banned all foreign and domestic media from reporting LIVE as long as they are in isreal, just so the world doesn't see the shame they are going through. Why do you think Trump left the G7 meeting yesterday abruptly? Things are really heating up on isreal, half of northern isreal is without power supply due to damage of one of there largest power plants, etc etc from ballistic missiles https://m.youtube.com/shorts/nzhln9jIbZE |
richeeyo:Ignorance is really bliss. Have you heard of Ural vagonzavod, Titan barrikady, Almaz Anty, Rostec corporation, Mikoyan design bureau, Sukhoi design bureau, Tupolev corporation etc all are Russian weapons manufacturers that are currently producing more weapons than the whole European union combined. And that's a fact. From tanks to hypersonic missiles to fifth generation jets to drones to ICBMs NATO can not even try to face Russia head-on, hence why they resort to sponsoring terrorist activities like what Ukraine did. Stop swallowing western propaganda head on like that, just like isreal believed there own propaganda that they are invincible, therefore falling into confrontation with Iran head-on without thinking of the consequences. Iran that has prepared itself since the 1980s for a so-called great war with the great enemy (America) by building apocalypse scale underground missile cities, and I mean literally missile cities, underground air force bases. An armada of suicide drones and suicide boats for sinking aircraft carriers etc those people are prepared for Armageddon itself, not to talk of a non entity like isreal. If you like keep swallowing western media narratives |
There is nothing the U.S can do, let them try attacking Iran and see whether their military bases in the middle east will survive. Is it with there outdated aircraft carriers and warships that Yemen successfully chased out of the Arabian sea that they are threatening Iran with? Most people don't even know that the attacks currently happening in Iran are not from isreali airforce as is being portrayed, but rather from isreali agents within Iran itself who succeeded in setting up drone assembly warehouses and rigged many car bombs, pure terrorist style of activities, some of those drone warehouses are being discovered near Tehran, just like Ukraine did in Russia recently. In the first day of the attacks, isreali jets actually flew over Iranian airspace and bombed places, but three f35 jets were shot down and a pilot was captured alive, and since that first day, the isreali airforce simply didn't risk flying All the way to Iran anymore but rather relying on there sabotage groups within Iran to create chaos and destruction. The media is selling all of you guys a fake scripted narrative, if you like keep believing it while your dear isreal is being pummeled every night. By the way, have you observed that only a certain section of TelAviv is being shown to you on the media? Why don't they show you the dimona nuclear reactor that was destroyed by the Iranian missiles because its a fact that it suffered direct hits from those ballistic missiles, what of telnof airbase, nevatim airbase, Haifa refinery, Rafael weapons factory, isreali defence headquarters, mossad HQ, TelAviv nuclear research reactor etc they all suffered direct hits from those missiles, but are they shown to you on the media? Be mindful of the false scripted western media narrative |
People on nairaland can be very funny sha. Do you not ask yourself why the Israeli government doesn't allow journalists to record the damage inflicted on the dimona nuclear power plant, tel nof airbase, nevatim airbase, kiryat defence headquarters (Israel's version of the Pentagon) at the heart of TelAviv, the hq of the mosad spy agency embedded deep in civilian residential area of tel Aviv, the largest refinery in Israel the Haifa refinery and gas plant, all of what I listed here were directly hit with those waves of ballistic missiles you see on the news, why are they only showing the destroyed apartment blocks in TelAviv? I bet most of you here don't even know that there is a strict military censorship in Israel such that recording sensitive missile impact sites is illegal. We want journalists to be allowed access to dimona nuclear plant and tel nof airbase. By the way how come 3 of the so-called invincible F35 fighter jets were shot down in Iran and one pilot captured alive? Why did natanyahu's plane run to Greece, why is the bem gurion airport closed and all planes taken out of Israel? This whole thing is just getting started, Israel hasn't seen anything yet, remain soreq nuclear site, Ramat David airbase where they hide there nuclear weapons, Eilat and Haifa Ports, Ben gurion airport itself, nothing Will be spared. Iran that has been preparing for 30 years to fight war with the united states is the one isreal is trying to bully? |
Dagger111:Just because Saudi Arabia does something doesn't make it Haram or halal. It is not Saudi Arabia,or Muhammad, or mecca or medina that makes those rules that you like that you like using to condemn northern Nigeria with. Those laws that you so hate like laws on cutting off hands of thieves, caning or stoning to death for adultery, public lashing or imprisonment for drunkenness etc are made by God and we choose to follow it wholeheartedly regardless of whether Saudi Arabia practices it or not, while you on the other hand refuses to follow those same laws even though it is so clearly spelled out in the bible, assuming you are christian |
There is no one wishing for this conflict to escalate massively like me, I want to see the scores settled once and for all. I want to witness the Nigerian ignorant so-called security experts get a dose of reality. The latest news going round is that natanyahu said Israel will retaliate by attacking the main sponsor of the houthis which is Iran, and Iran also immediately issued a statement that not a single American military base in the middle east will be spared if attacked by Israel. You guys will find out why trump chose to refuse attacking Iran even though Israel kept pushing him to attack. We will all also find out in no time whether Iran and Israel are mates or not. |
Chai ignorance is really bliss, Nigerians can really be myopic and gullible. In this information age politicians are still using the "it's a global economic downturn" excuse to justify the utter man made suffering and failure they put us through? There is nothing global about our economic woes, besides Europe and North America, where else do you hear stories of economic downturn and suffering? Europe's own is totally explainable, they got into this economic mess by entering into a conflict they can't win nor sustain. How can you start sanctioning a country that provides more than half of your energy needs and most of your food needs? Why won't hyperinflation hit you hard. As for north America, the economic woes are not as bad as they make you believe, most people can still afford the basic amenities of life, plus the whole system still functions like a well oiled machine. The little economic problems they are experiencing is all due to there own making, from deliberate deindustrialization over the years to very poorly thought out tariff regimes etc to overspending on useless foreign military bases that takes up billions of dollars yearly. Those two continents are just the ones experiencing some economic issues mainly due to there own stupidity. Other than that, the rest of the world is progressing just fine with stable prices for decades, functioning public amenities and booming entertainment and cultural scenes. China, japan, infact the rest of Asia, Russia, South America north Africa etc etc are all doing just fine. Yet our wicked politicians will keep fooling ignorant people that the hardship we are going through is a global problem. The Truth of the matter is our president chose to implement IMF and world bank policies that has been proven to be destructive to countries. No country on earth has ever implemented those policies without failing and suffering miserably for decades, from Argentina, to Thailand to Philippines to even Russia in the 90s. How can you not have any form of safety net to your lower class and poor in society. You remove all forms of subsidies, increase taxes, float your currency to the mercy of the markets, all on top of a non existent public infrastructure like power supply, pipe borne water, federal medical centers with no medicine or equipments, worsening insecurity. Every company is just cheating the citizens day and night without fear, basically making normal life impossible for the common man. Do you even know that Nigeria doesn't currently have a middle class? If you like continue believing politicians that our current hardship is a global phenomenon. |
Yorubastardz:It is rather the other way around. God bless the resistance for dealing with Israel mercilessly. The cowards can't even face the brave resistance fighters. And for your info hamas has more fighters now than when the war started two years ago. So who were Israel busy killing all this while? Women and children of course. https://youtube.com/shorts/tLl1Dxqwbgc?si=2jQZRDguay1lysKb https://youtube.com/shorts/tLl1Dxqwbgc?si=SiEDUAnR1NmrJ7Iv |
what surprise me with politicians is how arrogant they get when they see their citizens protesting of hunger and poverty and insecurities etc instead of taking it serious and actually do something to quell the people's complains, they rather start insulting their own citizens calling them miscreants, rebels, public enemies etc can you believe the guts of these people? They literally beg you to elect them into office, and they later turn to see the very people who elected them with disdain. It was when the Egyptian revolution happened few years ago that toppled hosni Mubarak that I know the common people, the ones that are seen like crap by the polititians can literally bring down a seating government. Believe me if a million people can gather in Abuja and protest just for a few days, the tinubu government and that useless 1999 constitution will be brought down and a whole new system of government will be put in place for the benefit of everybody. What kind of useless government will remove subsidy on everything to the detriment of its citizens? There is no subsidy on anything in Nigeria now o. From education to petroleum products to health care to security to agriculture to transportation. What the hell is the usefulness of the government to its citizens then? |
The op logic is so flawed that it's laughable. First of all, he made a mistake by assuming that 200million people equates to 200million households, that's just wrong. Have you forgotten that each household will have at minimum 5 people? The father, mother, 2 or 3 or even 5 children, so in essence, if a place contains like one thousand people, it means that place will contain like maybe 100 or so households. So you should slash that your number by dividing it by alteast 4 or 5 , that will give you a more accurate figure. Furthermore, the Ethiopian grand renaissance dam costs exactly 5billion dollars and generates almost 6,000megawatts. So 20billion dollars can give us almost 24,000megawatts of hydroelectric power generation. Another similar amount can give us another 24,000 megawatts of gas fired, wind,coal, Solar, nuclear etc of power. Are you now telling me that almost 50,000 megawatts of power will not be enough to give every Nigerian cheap uninterrupted power 24hrs a day? You are here quoting 800billion dollars as if we are buying a whole country. Look mehn, we are just nothing but thiefs in this country making straight forward achievable things look almost impossible to achieve. Look how we made having a national airline, national telecom company, national database, national electric company etc look like an impossible task to achieve. Notice how literally every freaking functioning country in the world have what I listed? That should tell you how seriously messed up we are. |
CheapHomes1:Forget these people, they think everyone is unexposed and dull so they can easily deceive people with these IMF inspired lines. That's how they keep shouting that government has no business running the aviation sector, yet some of the best airlines ever are run by national governments, look at emirates, British, Ethiopian, Qatar, air France etc They also said same of telecoms, power supply, water supply, education etc yet every country I know of has one form of government run business in those mentioned sectors that are doing extremely well, and serving it's purpose for which it was created excellently. Just look at British telecom, telecoms malaysia, who do you think owns all those nuclear power plants and massive transmission lines that you see in the western countries, all government owned, some of the most prestigious universities and research centers out there are government owned, some of the largest companies in the world like royal Dutch shell, deustch post, saudi aramco, qatar investment corporation etc are all government owned. Yet for some reason, we keep falling into the same lie that government cannot run business, and thus end up selling off some of our most critical public assets that should never be allowed into private hands in the first place. Imagine what we would have been if we refused to allow nitel die off, or Nigeria airways, Nigeria textiles limited, all of our four refineries and depos, etc but instead maintained them, revived and upgraded them and running them efficiently as is done with government owned businneses all over the world. Imagine if we refuse to remove subsidy as no country on earth does that, not even the most capitalist country in the world practices complete subsidy removal on things like fuel, power, agriculture, education etc they all have one form of subsidy or the other Yet, some economic hitman will come and tell you to completely deregulate your economy by privatizing everything, or that you should delay building what I consider the most important national project that nigeria can ever undertake, the 3050megawatt mambilla hydroelectric power plant. Why refuse building it because of a mere court case on it? Did Ethiopia not build there 6000megawatt dam even though neighboring countries were threatening to bomb them for building it on the river Nile? Why accept to delay our own dam because of a court case? No country can be run on generators, it has to be publicly supplied power supply, most countries have a national career for a reason but we killed ours, we killed our own national telephone and landline infrastructure, then handed everything over to private sector who runs everything wirelessly, and this has national security implications. Another thing is to stop falling for the trick that Nigeria is a consuming nation, and that we don't produce enough. This is a lie to continue using to artificially keep the naira valueless, that way, they can continue using there ill gotten forex from nnpc and customs to afford luxuries for dirt cheap prices while still enslaving you with dirt poor pay. No country in africa except maybe South Africa produces so much goods and services like Nigeria. Where do you think all those Maggie, cement, noodles, sugar, pharmaceutical drugs, pampers, rubber shoes, plastic chairs, tiles, ceramics, aluminium and iron rods, rice, tons of soft drinks, beer, animal feed, butter, sachet tomatoes, and so much more. Where do you think they are all made? Nigeria is one giant industrial layout manufacturing one product or the other in every corner of Nigeria, yet they will tell you that we consume too much without producing anything. All they have to do is just nairarize our economy, same as what Russia did by simply demanding that foreign buyers of Nigerian products buy it in naira, and you should know that Nigerian products are in high demand in west and central Africa, from our movies to our soft drinks to our clothing and even the simple rubber slippers that you see in the market sold for 300 naira are hot cakes in those our francophone neighbors. Demanding naira for our products will force the buyers to come with their forex and buy naira from our banks, this will inturn create huge demand for naira, thus raising the value significantly. The naira can easily go for 100 naira to a dollar in that scenario , and people can go back to affording the luxuries of life again like we used to with a strong currency. Anyway, this is a piece of my mind. Rant over. |
