I trust Nairalanders!
They won't disappoint.

Always seeing a negative side to EVERY good thingy!

hmm..but on a second thoughts they're right...that man just used that in gaining access to the NA ...to form levels..so that he can point that 'na me buy two vehicles for NA o..I epp govt

Me thinks the guy's donation serves two folds
1. Goodwill
2. So the military can have a feel of his make, and get him on the list of local contractors.........

he takes the rest from their on

See as you expose yourself anyhow.
Buhari is borrowing to COMPLETE roads initiated by Jonathan while bragging about increasing reserves.
If Buhari is dull, must you also be dull to follow him
You better redeem yourself before it is too late.

..........

I can't ask you to receive sense when the basic compartment to receive it is not even available.

Bros,

in short the above perfectly explains his plight

lexy2014:
if d highlighted is d reason 4d swell in d size of d foreign reserve, then this is actually a race being run backwards. Eurobonds are loans which Nigeria owes d investors that financed d bonds it floated. So I dont no how this is an achievement

1. First off, this is a professional assessment form FBNQuest and not FG stating it as an achievement.
2. Eurobonds are loans, Yes! but what is missing in your submission is what the loans are used for. They obviously did not just collect loans and put it in reserve.......

Desyner:

BrandSpurNG: Gross official reserves increased by US$1.92bn in January to US$40.69bn. The rapid accumulation of US$12.69bn over 12 months is due to two sizeable Eurobond launches, a small diaspora bond issue and the recovery in oil export revenues (through the NNPC’s share of production).

the bold part is 99% the reason for the increase and not those other self-serving factors the writer is trying to sell us.

and you want to support this assertion of yours with stats that says so.......or should we assume is something you pulled out of your "ass"?

olatunji21:
I have this question to ask..Instead of looking for loan, can't the govt just dip its hand into this Reserves, take about $5billion to fund critical infrastructure... Strictly infrastructure, no payment of salary, no subsidy payment, no bailout of any sort. just infrastructure.. Why is it so hard?

1. Yes they can, Abdul-Salami did back then in 1998 and plundered the reserves. The economy did not get any better. OBJ had to come and clear some of the mess

2. I do not think govt can just dip hands into foreign reserves in democracy. It will require the endorsement of National Assembly; it will require a proposal in the budget, which the national assembly will throw out

3. I believe that the foreign reserve is a measure of a countries valuation and economic health. A dip of $5b, whose return is not instance will upset the balance in a system. It could introduce unplanned inflation, your exchange rate will balloon up, triggering concomitant inflation and outweighing the spend. The external reserve is like a foundation of our economic health, you want to continue to strengthen it and not weaken it

Why would he not be arrested because he is Igbo. If na Fulani, they would keep a blind eye and allow the weapons get to Benue and Taraba. Mshewww

So you want him to be released because he is Igbo?

I know why you aren't fidgety because you know you don't have any traveling to Lagos to do this week,the picture is old yes but that audio as no iota of farce in it

You would know this because you were there while it was being recorded? What if it was an armed robbery attack that was being recorded or a bunch of actors were screaming into a phone? How exactly are we supposed to verify that herdsmen are attacking an area just by listening to an audio recording?

You desperately want to believe that herdsmen have invaded Lagos-Ibadan express way that you're ready to believe any type of tacky evidence thrown your way.

Even when you listen to the audio, you will notice that the girl gone hysterical was obviously coached

Moboj:
Forget the picture and listen to the audio I feel they just used that picture to get people's attention,the audio and the picture of that letter is soo recent

So which school is that? Signed "student affairs" with no name? A random audio of girls crying and screaming amount to it being real? Bros, don't let "con artists" take you do Valentine

This man that was sleeping with his secretary behind his wife and denied vehemently only to marry the secretary in question and file for a divorce to his first wife's afterwards, meaning he was at some point married to two wives under the influence of the Holy Spirit of course

Khostlybeauty18:
So.... erhm....there's this guy that approach me for my number sometime back, I didn't give him and I think I responded rudely kind of...I was really tired that day...But since then, I've had this huge crush on him...We make eye contacts alot wheneva we're at the same place, but I can't see him making another attempt to come...Now m leaving the area soon....How Do I Get Him?

Walk up to him, say a nice "hello", take his palm and write your number on it. Walk away and pray. HE WILL CALL YOU BACK.

Afrojuju2017:
I've read from accredited sources that Kano have a very effective system in place set up by Kwankwaso which Ganduje has expanded on. The cattle have their travel route which does not cross any farms and anyone who breaks the rules is dealt with severely

Pls do enlighten us more on the effective system of managing the herdsmen in Kano. This should be interesting

orisa37:
Good for Kano. It's in The N.W-Caliphate and MiyettiAllah's Cattle Rearers' zone.
It will have social and economic advantage. Kano can be so specialised to export Cattle to big Ranches in other States in Nigeria and abroad. Good of you Ganduje.

I agree with you. Ganduje has killed two birds with one stone. He is helping the peace process and practical about it. He is also going to make economic benefit out of it.

I will hope some of the other governors who see this option as a viable alternatives, especially in the North should also take advantage of this initiative. There are foreign investors who wants to partner in the area of dairy products.

I also expect that other governors who are not interested in "Cattle Colonies" should not make a volcano out of "smokes". Let's lay off the ethnically-laced narratives, let's not make "cattle colonies" look bad. A simple decline should suffice and let those who want it go for it. If Ganduje's model works, we are all going to be "economic beneficiaries" to us all.

Secondly the FG should also partner in this initiative. Those grazing colonies should be provided with "bio-tech" and logistics support.

Blue3k2:
How can I be twisting words when your comment right there. You talk about government investment in refineries like they haven't screwed up that. They already had private sector operators stepping in so it's better they don't. Dangote, petrolex and who every serious about modular refinery. I guess decades of TAM and talks with mapet haven't changed mind. The 4 NNPC refineries are doomed.


• you said article propaganda but they gave both sides to story. (Mostly because you didn't read it)
• you brought up Boko Haram when project eould be at tributary of Congo Congo river. Is bolo Haram in Central African Republic?
• it's a long term project so what.
• you also said it's propaganda to get middle belt minorities to vote for buhari even they they don't directly benefit from project. The would be more cinverned with herdsmen security issues.

Your conspiracy theory didn't make sense then and now. You read same thing and suddenly had change if heart. If you think article talking about project was propaganda then you didn't want project.

Bros,

With that guy, I have decided not to waste my time engaging someone with "Juvenile intellect"

9japrof:
There is nothing wrong, does it make economic sense? Nigeria because of the abundance of wealth at its disposal waste enough resources which is regrettable.

Why not talk about decentralization of power supply and generation than arguing over frivolous issues

You think it does not make economic sense, yet companies like Chevron, Total and Govt etc partnered to send Gas to West African coast? It does not make economic sense and the Russian govt bet virtually all its investment in Gas pipelines almost getting to China? I think you need to reflect

9japrof:
This national grid nonsense is killing Nigeria, why should electricity be nationalised

Why wouldn't Nigeria practice true Federalism, sub division power generation and distribution to regions and uses local materials unique to the environment to power the turbines. Why should a gas pipeline be made to transport gas from Niger Delta to the north to power a gas powered turbine just because of one Nigeria; why should electricity be lost while transporting electricity from kanji dam to the south south, when gas is readily available.

Sometimes I ask myself what's wrong with Nigeria, why do we love making things difficult for ourselves. Donald Trump is right after all, here is a a complete shithole, the African race is a liability to the rest of the world.

All our leaders know is loot and loot without even adding any value to their subjects. Ask yourself what value have Buhari added to the country, nothing and the nonsense continues

1. First off, there is nothing wrong in transporting gas to the North. What is important it is put to good use. If plants are built in many places and they can be supplied gas from anywhere. If we can solve the inequality problem and fix Niger Delta, we have enough gas to "feed" the Niger Delta and send to the North.

2. To disabuse your mind, Nigeria sends gas through the ELPS - WAGP line from Nigeria Delta up to Cote d'Ivore, Russia sends Gas all over Europe

mozedy:
We are tired of hearing plans, signing of agreement and MOU. Instead we want to see the already finished projects and it's commissioning.

Mentality like yours is why projects in Nigeria gets abandoned. You want them to rush and "commission" projects based on what criteria? TV and photos?

4words:
I will say for once the people of Niger delta and NDDC in particular are using their head for once. These are the kind of developmental project people of this region should be working on instead of waiting endlessly on the mercy of Abuja.

The gas here is in abundance so powering the plants shouldn't be an issue.

My only worry now is hopefully it will be implemented.

Bros,

This is what Fashola has been telling you all since, power plants should be located closest to the feedstock; in this case gas in NigerDelta as source of Gas-powered plants

This is one of the problems I have with some of you university students that are yet to "see the reception of the corporate world" talk so ignorantly-arrogantly, making ridiculous statements..........

Bros,
FYI
1. If there is any minister in Mines and steel that has made meaningful progress to develop that ministry in the last 2decades, Fayemi tops the list
2. To suggest Fayemi does not know the "meaning of Urannium or it's chemical properties"....actually reflects badly on you and your education (to borrow the sub of Chimamanda). Ok we know you just studied it in one of your geology courses....
3. To suggest that Fayemi is a lawyer, reflects terribly on your scholarship. A simple google search will show you that Fayemi never studied law
4. No standard lab for assay in Nigeria? Bros, which bush are you from?

With your blunders on especially (3) above, do you think you are credible to even make an argument on the issue on ground?

people like u are the problem we have in this country brains always working upside down....English English that's all u hear them speak just as earlier guy said.....name a single Standard laboratory for chemical characterization of our ores in this country? Nimc in Jos is dead.....Ngsa lab in kaduna nothing to write home about....Name an active mine in this country developed by the federal govt Apart from 200% increase in cost of application and grants in MCO name another major step by the federal gov in making sure the diversification they have been crying about is on course? So easy to judge others lambasting people on social media but no single idea about the aforementioned.....generation of orphans

I sense comprehension issues with you here. Pls refer to my last-line submission in the previous post. I do not consider you credible enough to make factual statements when you cannot even get a simple occupation of Fayemi correctly, not to talk of ridiculous "he does not know the chemical compound".......Hmm, I don't know on what premise to engage you nor answer to "juveline questions" than to tell you to save yourself some breath and concentrate on getting out of school.

bigpicture001:
..Uranum?.. did I read someone type uranium?..dt would mk the both counties even more target by the US, UN and also terrorists groups..yes,its expensive nd could massively increase our revenue..but has nigeria read about what happens to the radioactive waste from uraniun usage?... the law says, u discover,exploit nd export,and after being bought and used by your buyers,the waste from it is returned to the primary source for decomposition, which takes some times, 5milion years to disintegrate,yet very dangerous to come in contact with...they shld reconsider please ooo

Bros,

You know what the reality is? You see the "Uranium-ore" is there for the taking. If we ignore it, terrorists, black-marketers, foreign govts etc will get their hands on it one way or the other. You ever wondered how blood diamonds in Sierra Leone got to most boutiques in London, Paris and US? Yet Serria Leone is so poor as we speak........

dahunsy:
Uranium Does he even know the meaning? Or its chemical properties? Its effect and uses ......english......t[b]hat's all u hear Fayemi speaks everytime[/b].....a lawyer as minister of mines and steel development [/b]a country that can boast of Experienced n qualified geologists even making waves in foreign countries....puting square pegs in round holes.....lips service all in d name of diversification,,,, [b]a country that can't boast of a standard laboratory for chemicals assay of its solid minerals talkless of having an active mine that can be developed......Alll we hear is English n gibberish all the time........may God run ur lives and generation the way you guys are runing this country

This is one of the problems I have with some of you university students that are yet to "see the reception of the corporate world" talk so ignorantly-arrogantly, making ridiculous statements..........

OLISASDEJI, firgemanchar,

Sokoto is about to have one of the biggest Dairy plantation in Africa

Firgemachar:
How come Sokoto the capital of the caliphate is not among them?

And what are Yoruboid states like Kogi and Kwara doing there?

Sokoto is doing something bigger

Sokoto To Inaugurate Largest Cattle Breeding Project In West Africa

The Sokoto State Cattle Breeding Project, the largest of its kind in the West African sub-region, will be inaugurated in May.

Alhaji Tukur Alkali, Commissioner for Animal Health and Fisheries Development, made this known when he conducted newsmen round the project site in Sokoto and Rabah Local Government Areas on Tuesday.

Alkali said that the project would improve the genetics of local cattle breeds by ensuring more milk and beef production.

According to him, this initiative will go a long way in empowering farmers with modern technique of livestock production.

“The government has spent N2.8 billion on the project inherited from the immediate past administration of Alhaji Aliyu Wamakko.

He said N1.5 billion was spent on acquisition of Argentinean cattle for cross-breeding, construction, training of personnel, provision of security and other logistics.

The commissioner added that N1.3 billion was for the purchase of equipment for the project.

He said the project was aimed at ending farmers/herdsmen clashes experienced across the federation, and in some neighboring West African countries.

“We hope to not only empower our farmers, but also impart modern knowledge on mechanised farming and cattle breeding techniques.

“About 13 cluster farms will be established to be run by private entities.

“All the cattle breeds will graze in these fields. We will also provide research centre and laboratory, veterinary services, among others,” he added.

Sokoto State government had in 2010 signed a two billion Naira contract with an Argentine firm, South American Breeding Technologies (SABT), for the establishment of a cattle breeding, milk and beef production factory.

Based on the agreement, SABT will train and bring revolutionary changes in agriculture, genetic procedure, meat processing and milking machines.

O foolish Nairalanders! O useless Nairalanders! O du.mb Nairalanders! Who bewitched you with idi.ocy? You mean you one idi.ot can mislead you, and you follow gullibly stup.i.d?

Is it that virtually all of the respondents here are under the influence of some substance or have comprehension deficit? You mean none of you can understand this topic?

DearPeople:
Osogbo should not. This is the origin of the Yoruba race we are talking about here. Last I checked, not sure there are tourist attractions in Osogbo.

Lemme guess, that last time predated google shey?

I was on 3MB during this rescue, but unlike many other cars that stopped to get a good view, i simply drove off and trusted LRS to do a good job. I even tot it was a car that tumbled over.......

How did she get there?

We are watching.

Fashola and Buhari should do nothing whatsoever to scuttle Ambode’s and Dangote’s planned 12,000 MW plan for 24hr power supply to Lagos.

We are watching. It always starts like this.

Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. ... Optical fiber is used by many telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, and cable television signals.
Why are you embarrassing yourself?

The bold is the only necessary reply you should have given him. Giving him definition is not necessary. For someone to misunderstand fiber-optic as a source of electricity.........gawd! NL have em'

YourWife:
Ambode for President! He's a youth with the vision, and is on a mission to make Lagos great! He can make Nigeria great too! Ambode for President, 2019!!!

My sista,

On this matter, Ambode should GEEEERRRRRROOOOOOOOUUUUUTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

He messed up big time in the area of cleanliness of Lagos; Lagos is now way much dirtier than it ever was from Tinubu's era to date. Fashola methodically created a process that worked. Fashola had outlawed the Cart-pushers way back, yet Ambode watched as they sneaked back. He dismantled the framework Fashola put on ground, replacing with his own "imported from the US" style which has hardly taken off the ground. Street sweepers are moved from expressway to supposed inner roads, to pave way for mechanised sweeping vehicles, yet highways are not any cleaner. This same proposal Fashola rejected. Fashola said he cannot take jobs from 30,000 sweepers and replace them with machines. Waste collector services in my Estate are now practically erratic. They claim they are not sure if govt wants to keep them or fire them. We have to follow up with calls as waste pile up on or front yards

Ambode better get his acts in order and fire is commissioner for environment if need be. Lagos is getting dirtier

Mirand606:
..........
However having a university as the second highest employer of labour is also indication that the state isn't very industrial. A university can't take this kind of lead position in Employability in Lagos, Ogun or Rivers.

Worse still, he said the state government is the highest employer of Labour in Ekiti State. That is an indicator of a totally backward state. No wonder we continue to have issues with govt unable to pay workers salaries. Contrast that with Lagos state where the state govt only employ 1%.

As you rightly highlighted how do such state industrialise? FYI, Universities either private or public cannot kick an industrialisation drive. They themselves struggle to break even and stay profitable. All the shops, side businesses in Universities is nothing compared to deficit-in-commerce that bedevils many of this states. Universities can only serve in a symbiotic relationship with industries and not drivers of economy IMO

This is what people fail to realise when politicans come and tag some states as Civil servant's states. Fayose practically made no move to "diversify" the economy of the state, no noticeable progress in Agric for example. Afe Babalola University was never attracted to Ekiti because Ekiti provided an enabling environment, nor as part of Ekiti's plans to boost Education or commerce.

Desyner:
You asked why investors look towards Nigeria. Read your first post where you quoted me and statsocial again sir...


From the above you are trying to say investors come to Nigeria because of population but I am saying they do because of market and profit opportunity. The market and profit opportunity exist because the govt
share easy oil money and not because the populace are hardworking. It is on the strength of the fact that Nigerians aren't very hardworking nor productive that I don't buy your population based argument.


The fact that you picked a portion of my comment and referenced it out of context says alot about your reasoning and education if you had any. Also of importance is the fact that you are quick to throw tantrums.

Hmmn!

Bros........


Let me let you enjoy your day.......
