NwaIdeato:
You're really one shameless apologist and enabler of unrest in the East, you are fond of making false equivalences and "whataboutisms" just to deflect and draw attention away from the ripple effects of insecurity pervading the East due to the effect of IPOB.

Don't you want peace in Igboland? Are you aware that so many Igbos abroad were scared to return home for the Christmas out of fear of being killed or kidnapped by unknown gunmen, if ESN were that effective as you touted them to be, why are they not dealing with this unknown gunmen/herdsmen causing havoc in the East? why are they attacking security personnels instead of securing the East as they promised? now Igbo communities across the SE have become target practice for useless Nigerian soldiers who are looking for every opportunity to unleash terror in the East because IPOB foot soldiers are hell bent of destroying Igboland with their new brand of terrorism.

You are a despicable individual and I hope you enjoy the violence you enabled in Igboland.

He doesn't want peace in Igboland, because peace means Nigeria is working, hence no need for 'Biafra'.

So IPOBs are repulsed by the idea of 'peace' in Igboland.

It's the last thing they want.

The biggest threat to the corporate existence, safety and security of Igbos today is not Fulani herdsmen, Buhari or Tinubu.

It is IPOB.

SmartPolician:
Ogbeni, stop defending Buhari. That man lacks excellent adminstrative and leadership skills. I am not here to banter words with you over a clueless leader.

Just know that Nigerians would definitely know and feel his overwhelming impact the day a good leader takes over the helm of government, Boko Haram, ISWAP or not.

We follow news around the world every hour and can separate the wheat from the chap. The few times Buhari stepped aside for Yemi Osinbajo, we know the impact the latter made. Borno State is the headquarters of terrorism, but Babagana Zulum is still doing a great job.

Again, stop defending the indefensible because that man knows zilch about leadership and administration.

PS: I won't reply you again though.

I thoroughly disagree with you.

Buhari is Nigeria's Infrastructure President.

He had less than 1/4th of the money available to the Jonathan administration, yet achieved more infrastructural successes than Jonathan, Yar'adua and Obasanjo combined.

You know why? Because his government is not as corrupt as the previous ones.

Right now he is on course to ending the nightmare of power shortages for good in Nigeria.

Something none of your previous presidents with ''excellent administrative and leadership skills'' could even dream of accomplishing.

So show some appreciation for something good, and quit being bitter.

SmartPolician:
Nice initiative. This is the first step a serious government should have taken the first few months it came into office.

I guess it's better late than never; the next administration will take the credit for project, if they continue with it.

You guys talk as if everywhere was nice and cool when Buhari came in, and all he had to do was embark on these lofty projects, if only he was 'serious'.

You forget that world oil prices crashed just before he assumed power, leading to a huge drop in national income, and a recession for which he was blamed.

Meanwhile Boko Haram were intensifying their atrocities and running riot across the north, colonising territories and hoisting their flags, leading to a desperate search by the FG for the right military equipment to combat them.

So Buhari's main approaches to the US then were for fighter jets and attack helicopters.

Even the US would never have agreed to invest a dime in any Nigerian development projects back then.

That the US is willing to put 10 billion dollars into these renewable energy projects is a clear sign that Washington realises that Boko Haram is largely defeated by the Nigerian military, and that a greater calm and security is finally returning to the Giant of Africa.

optionalY09:
not impressed. they’re gradually gradually selling us into another type of slavery. We have money to do all these things for our people and make it affordable.

Nigeria's annual budget is just 50 billion dollars. It's really not a lot of money for 220 million people.

The FG cannot afford to use 10 billion dollars from that sum to build renewable energy projects, or many other sectors will be deprived. ASUU crisis is a case in point. So foreign investment is required. It is not slavery. South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and other Tiger economies developed by attracting huge amounts of western capital and investment, which facilitated technology transfer, that helped local industrialisation.

So if we play our cards right, it shouldn't be slavery at all.

RichAbujaGuy:
A very good read/development Honourable OP. Thanks for the enlightenment.

Most welcome, bro..

Dubai perhaps?

He loves that place.

omonnakoda:
You sound stupid and I don't argue with stupid people

I didn't insult you, so I've no idea why you're doing that.

DeLaRue:
The $10 billion should be going into revamping the transmission infrastructure, not solar and battery.

I guess America has chosen what will best benefit their own economic interest.

Transmission is what Siemens is doing.

The US deal is solely about renewable energy, which is great.

It appears that the recent trip made by President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, to Washington DC, bore major fruit for the nation.

Mr President spent a long time discussing this deal with Joe Biden. This US power deal is now in addition to the ongoing Siemens power programme initated by Mr President.

I do foresee a 'bright' future (excuse the pun).


Nigeria Signs Agreement With US Firm On Power Generation

The Nigerian Government and a US firm, Sun Africa LLC have signed a Development and Engineering, Procurement and Construction (DEPC) implementation framework agreement for the construction of 5,000 MW of solar energy and 2,500 MWh of battery energy.

The energy storage power plants will attract up to $10 billion in investment from the US government.

The agreement was signed by Adeniyi Adebayo, Nigeria’s Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, and Adam Cortese, CEO of Sun Africa, in the presence of Amos Hochstein, President Joe Biden’s Special Presidential Coordinator for the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment.

In his address on Tuesday, December 13, President Muhammadu Buhari said:

“As part of the National Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Policy, we set the vision 30:30:30 which aims at achieving 30GW of electricity by 2030 with renewable energy contributing 30% of the energy mix” in the presence of President Biden and the world leaders, and sought the United States support to achieve it.

Sun Africa, Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Limited (“S&W”), a leading US and international solar EPC company, and the Nigerian government have been working on the development of transformation grid-connected and mini-grids solar projects in multiple locations, including interconnection, electrification and smart meters infrastructure.

To ensure the broadest approach to access electricity, Sun Africa is also implementing solar cabins and solar home systems where the mini-grids are not economically viable.

The project will be constructed in different phases across the six geopolitical zones and will provide clean, reliable and affordable electricity to millions of Nigerians.

Presidential Spokesman, Garba Shehu, in a message, said:

“This transformative solar project is on top of the US climate and sustainable energy agenda and has been prioritized as a strategic lead for the US which is entirely in line with the Nigerian Government’s Energy Transition Plan, addressing clean and reliable energy supply, creating jobs and ensuring transfer of knowledge and technology.”

You say “ of course the first helicopter will not look like Apache”, because you are Black and foolish. Low standards, Low abilities, mediocre reasoning, hopeless….. but yet you want the world to give you respect… you dont want to be called the N-Word when you accepted the N Word with “Area” attached from Luggard and Oyibo… with flag and coat of arms to match….

Anyway go ahead and pop something, shebi its a new year, celebrate your toy helicopter as a Legacy of Buhari…Perhaps “The Presidency” will talk about it ..

Do you Negro….

You are obviously a school dropout, who hasn't got the first clue about manufacturing.

To begin manufacturing aircraft as a nation, you MUST start from manufacturing the most basic aircraft. Develop expertise in building small aircraft. Build an international reputation for efficient, safe aircraft manufacturing.

Then you build upon the knowledge and experience gained therefrom, and then progress to more complex and involved renditions, as the years roll by.

That way, you build expertise from the ground up.

You don't start the process of aircraft manufacturing by attempting to build a Boeing 747.

That is STUPID AND DUMB, JUST LIKE YOU.

Nobody will agree to fly in it when you've not established a reputation for building even small aircraft.

So you start with a Cessna.

Onukwu.

The Japanese currency was once the third strongest currency some few years back. Also if you are a good student of history you will know foreign aid is actually bad and many African countries are already rejecting aid and speaking against it.
In case you don't know what you typed, you said if Europe falls.... And I'm telling you if Europe falls we make do of what is available.

Please if you don't have something sensible to say stop quoting me, I beg you.

Please, don't be too angry with these Nigerian youths. Their problem is ignorance, for which I blame our Eurocentric educational system borne of colonialism.

Thankfully, the FG has recently reintroduced HISTORY into our school curriculum after the Jonathan govt banned the teaching of History, for reasons best known to them and their western controllers.

The idea that Africans, who civilized the world, cannot survive without 'white' people is comically ignorant. It is the direct opposite of what SHOULD be asked, which is ''Where would white people be today without the knowledge and intelligence of black Africans?''


12 Amazing African Inventions and Innovations That Led To World Civilization



1 Speech

The first words by humans were spoken by Africans.

''Using statistical methods to estimate the time required to achieve the current spread and diversity in modern languages today, Johanna Nichols — a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley — argues that vocal language must have arisen in our species at least 100,000 years ago. Using phonemic diversity, a more recent analysis offers directly linguistic support for a similar date. Estimates of this kind are independently supported by genetic, archaeological, palaeontological and much other evidence suggesting that language probably emerged somewhere in sub-Saharan Africa during the Middle Stone Age, roughly contemporaneous with the speciation of Homo sapiens.''


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_language




2 Writing


In 1999, Archaeology Magazine reported that the earliest Egyptian hieroglyphs date back to 3400 BCE which "...challenge the commonly held belief that early logographs, pictographic symbols representing a specific place, object, or quantity, first evolved into more complex phonetic symbols in Mesopotamia."

Who were these original Egyptians?

The Greek historian Herodotus.. described the Colchians of the Black Sea shores as "Egyptians by race" and pointed out they had "black skins and kinky hair."

Apollodorus, the Greek philosopher, described Egypt as "the country of the black-footed ones" and the Latin historian Ammianus Marcellinus said "the men of Egypt are mostly brown or black with a skinny desiccated look."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specials/1624_story_of_africa/page88.shtml

In his book 'Egypt', British scholar Sir E.A. Wallis Budge says: "The prehistoric native of Egypt, both in the old and in the new Stone Ages, was African and there is every reason for saying that the earliest settlers came from the South." He further states: "There are many things in the manners and customs and religions of the historic Egyptians that suggests that the original home of their prehistoric ancestors was in a country in the neighborhood of Uganda and Punt [present day Somalia]."

https://i.pinimg.com/564x/4a/70/3b/4a703be4f22ca99f45c67e4ba05b3426.jpg

''Greek historian Diodorus Siculus devoted an entire chapter of his world history, the Bibliotheke Historica, or Library of History (Book 3), to the Kushites ["Aithiopians"] of Meroe. Here he repeats the story of their great piety, their high favor with the gods, and adds the fascinating legend that they were.. the founders of Egyptian civilization, invented writing, and had given the Egyptians their religion and culture.''

(1st century B.C., Diodorus Siculus of Sicily, Greek historian and contemporary of Caesar Augustus, Universal History Book III. 2. 4-3. 3)

http://wysinger.homestead.com/blackegypt101.html

To summarise:

"Ancient Egypt was a Negro civilisation. The history of Black Africa will remain suspended in the air and cannot be written correctly until African historians connect it with the history of Egypt. The African historian who evades the problem of Egypt is neither modest nor objective nor unruffled. He is ignorant, cowardly and neurotic. The ancient Egyptians were Negroes. The moral fruit of their civilisation is to be counted among the assets of the Black world."

- Cheikh Anta Diop, The African Origin of Civilisation.

3 Medicine

''The earliest known surgery was performed in Egypt around 2750 BC.... The Ebers papyrus (1550 BC) is full of incantations and foul applications meant to turn away disease-causing demons, and also includes 877 prescriptions. It may also contain the earliest documented awareness of tumors..

Homer (800 BC) remarked in the Odyssey: "In Egypt, the men are more skilled in medicine than any of human kind" and "the Egyptians were skilled in medicine more than any other art". The Greek historian Herodotus visited Egypt around 440 BC and wrote extensively of his observations of their medicinal practices. Pliny the Elder also wrote favourably of them in historical review. Hippocrates (the 'father of medicine'), Herophilos, Erasistratus and later Galen studied at the temple of Amenhotep, and acknowledged the contribution of ancient Egyptian medicine to Greek medicine.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_medicine



4 Architecture

The African empire of Egypt developed a vast array of diverse structures and great architectural monuments along the Nile, among the largest and most famous of which are the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza

The pyramids, which were built in the Fourth Dynasty, testify to the power of the pharaonic religion and state. They were built for reasons that remain mysterious to modern knowledge. The size and simple design show the high skill level of African design and engineering on a large scale. The Great Pyramid of Giza, which was probably completed c. 2580 BC, is the oldest and largest of the pyramids, and is the only surviving monument of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The pyramid of Khafre is believed to have been completed around 2532 BC, at the end of Khafre's reign.

5 Mathematics

The invention of mathematics is placed firmly in African PRE-HISTORY.

''The oldest known possibly mathematical object is the Lebombo bone, discovered in the Lebombo mountains of Swaziland and dated to approximately 35,000 BC. It consists of 29 distinct notches cut into a baboon's fibula. Also prehistoric artifacts discovered in Africa and France, dated between 35,000 and 20,000 years old [respectively], suggest early attempts to quantify time.

The Ishango bone, found near the headwaters of the Nile river (northeastern Congo), may be as much as 20,000 years old and consists of a series of tally marks carved in three columns running the length of the bone. Common interpretations are that the Ishango bone shows either the earliest known demonstration of sequences of prime numbers or a six month lunar calendar.

Also, Predynastic Egyptians of the 5th millennium BC pictorially represented geometric designs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mathematics#Prehistoric_mathematics

''Numeral systems have been many and diverse, with the first known written numerals created by Egyptians in Middle Kingdom texts such as the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus.

The earliest uses of mathematics were in trading, land measurement, painting and weaving patterns and the recording of time. More complex mathematics did not appear until around 3000 BC, when the Egyptians and Babylonians began using arithmetic, algebra and geometry for taxation and other financial calculations, for building and construction, and for astronomy''

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics



6 Mining of minerals

The oldest known mine on archaeological record is the "Lion Cave" in Swaziland, which radiocarbon dating shows to be about 43,000 years old. Much later on, the Africans of Egypt mined malachite....Quarries for turquoise and copper were also found at "Wadi Hamamat, Tura, Aswan and various other Nubian sites"..The gold mines of Nubia were among the largest and most extensive in the world, and are described by the Greek author Diodorus Siculus. He mentions that fire-setting was one method used to break down the hard rock holding the gold. One of the complexes is shown in one of earliest known maps. They crushed the ore and ground it to a fine powder before washing the powder for the gold dust.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mining#Prehistoric_mining



7 Iron Smelting

Iron smelting is a form of extractive metallurgy; its main use is to produce a metal from its ore. This includes production of silver, iron, copper and other base metals from their ores. Smelting uses heat and a chemical reducing agent to decompose the ore, driving off other elements as gasses or slag and leaving just the metal behind.

Early iron smelting:

''Where and how iron smelting was discovered is widely debated, and remains uncertain due to the significant lack of production finds.. [but] there is a further possibility of iron smelting and working in West Africa by 1200 BC. In addition, very early instances of carbon steel were found to be in production around 2000 years before the present in northwest Tanzania, based on complex preheating principles. These discoveries are significant for the history of metallurgy.''

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelting


8 Religion

Greek historian Diodorus Siculus. From his own statements we learn that he traveled in Egypt around 60 BC. His travels in Egypt probably took him as far south as the first Cataract. He wrote about the ''Ethiopians'' south of Egypt.

"They further write that it was among them that people were first taught to honour the gods and offer sacrifices and arrange processions and festivals and perform other things by which people honor the divine. For this reason their piety is famous among all men, and the sacrifices among the Aithiopians are believed to be particularly pleasing to the divinity,"


9 Laws

Stephanus of Byzantium, who is said to represent the opinions of the most ancient Greeks, says:

"Ethiopia was the first established country on the earth, and the Ethiopians were the first who introduced the worship of the Gods and who established laws."
Quoted by John D. Baldwin, Prehistoric Nations, p. 62.



10 International Trade


In 1825, Arnold Hermann Heeren (1760-1842), Professor of History and Politics in the University of Gottengen and one of the ablest of the early exponents of the economic interpretation of history, published, in the fourth and revised edition of his great work Ideen Uber Die Politik, Den Verkehr Und Den Handel Der Vornehmsten Volker Der Alten Weld, a lengthy essay on the history, culture, and commerce of the ancient Ethiopians, which had profound influence on contemporary writers in the conclusion that it was among these ancient Black people of Africa and Asia that international trade was first developed. He thinks that as a by-product of these international contacts there was an exchange of ideas and cultural practices that laid the foundations of the earliest civilizations of the ancient world. Heeren in his researches says: "From the remotest times to the present, the Ethiopians [ancient name for blacks south of the Sahara] have been one of the most celebrated, and yet the most mysterious of nations. In the earliest traditions of nearly all the..civilized nations of antiquity, the name of this distant people is found. The annals of the Egyptian priests are full of them, and the nations of inner Asia, on the Euphrates and Tigris, have interwoven the fictions of the Ethiopians with their traditions of the wars and conquests of their heroes; and, at a period equally remote, they glimmer in Greek mythology. When the Greeks scarcely knew Italy and Sicily by name, the Ethiopians were celebrated in the verses of their poets, and when the faint gleam of tradition and fable gives way to the clear light of history, the lustre of the Ethiopians is not diminished."

11 Philosophy

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy#Ancient_philosophy

Philosophy in Africa has a rich and varied history, dating from pre-dynastic Egypt, continuing through the birth of Christianity and Islam. Arguably central to the ancients was the conception of "ma'at", which roughly translated refers to "justice", "truth", or simply "that which is right". One of the earliest works of political philosophy was the Maxims of Ptah-Hotep, which were taught to Egyptian schoolboys for centuries...Ancient Egyptian philosophers made extremely important contributions to Hellenistic philosophy, Christian philosophy, and Islamic philosophy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_philosophy

''Ancient Egyptian philosophy has been credited by the ancient Greeks as being the beginning of philosophy''.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_philosophy


12 Art

The oldest art objects in the world—a series of tiny, drilled snail shells about 75,000 years old—were discovered in a South African cave.

NAF, NASENI To Finalise Work on First Made-in-Nigeria Helicopter

By Guardian Nigeria

The Nigeria Airforce (NAF), in partnership with the National Agency for Science and Engineering (NASENI) have finalised arrangements to produce the first made-in-Nigeria helicopter, which would be launched in the country before the end of President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure in May 2023.

https://www.janes.com/images/default-source/news-images/fg_2694832-jdw-1345.jpg?sfvrsn=45638e55_2

Already, the Airforce Institute of Technology (AFIT), which is the research and development (R & D) arm of the Nigeria Airforce and the NASENI have been directed by the Presidency to ensure that the local helicopter production’s dream becomes a reality soon.

Both AFIT and NASENI have taken up the challenge of completing all works on the first Made-in-Nigeria helicopter initiated by NASENI and which President Buhari had directed should be launched before the end of his administration in 2023.

To fast-track works on the Helicopter Project, the President directed the relocation of the Project from NASENI’s site in Abuja to AFIT in Kaduna, Kaduna State.

The official handover of the space and hanger (helipad) including the runaway for test-flight of the Helicopter located at Airforce Institute took place yesterday, in Kaduna.

NASENI in 2017 entered into a technical agreement with Dynali Helicopter Company in Belgium for the actualisation of the project before the latest directive by Mr. President that the project should be expanded to include collaboration with AFIT and the subsequent relocation of the project for its continuation at the Airforce institute in Kaduna.

While briefing the Commandant of AFIT, the Chief Executive of NASENI, Prof. Mohammed Sani Haruna said that part of the Presidential directive was that all NASENI projects in Aeronautics should be relocated to AFIT and to be included in the collaborations between the two institutions.

Responding, the commandant of AFIT, Air Vice Marshal Mohammed Aminu Yakubu said that the directive from the President “is a task that both NASENI and AFIT must carry out with all the resources that are required to bring the dream to pass. We are determined to collaborate to make the dream a reality,” he said.

Buhari’s directive also stated that AFIT shall provide space and helipad for the NASENI helicopters and to relocate the project to AFIT so that the two institutions could collaborate.

Yakubu remarked that the collaboration between NASENI and AFIT was “the clincher collaboration to launch Nigeria into relevance in the world of aviation with the proposed involvement in aircraft design and development.”

He said: “the high capacity and manpower in this area has made the AFIT acquire experts - about ten (10) Ph.Ds in aeronautics. The Airforce is at the verge of developing unmanned aerial vehicles. AFIT has gone very far in the design and manufacturing of air vehicles”.

Yakubu stressed further that “the collaboration to produce the First made in Nigeria helicopter between the two organisations was sacrosanct and therefore would be pursued with vigour in the days and months ahead.”

Meanwhile, according to the terms of the collaboration, some NASENI technical staff will be resident in AFIT for adequate interface for the purpose of sharing knowledge and technical capacity.

The handing over ceremony of some facilities by AFIT officials took place yesterday, just as the following items were handed over to NASENI boss- the hanger, office space and run-way, where on completion of the aircraft, the Made in Nigeria helicopter will embark on test-flight.

Prof Haruna who was elated by the development explained that “the journey to seeing the NASENI first-made-in Nigeria helicopter is coming gradually to fruition.”

While speaking with journalists, Haruna said “the journey to produce the First made in Nigeria helicopter began in 2017 and therefore now gradually coming towards its desired target.”

Nigeria that can't build phones, jets or other ordinary technologies wants to build micro chip. Bloody Scammers

First of all, ''NIGERIA'' is not a person, so cannot manufacture anything.

It is NIGERIANS who manufacture and build stuff, while a bum like you sits in your mum's basement typing ignorant rubbish.

''The first indigenous internationally certified Computer Manufacturer in Nigeria, Zinox boasts the first and only computerized digital assembly plant in West Africa with a daily production capacity of over 5,000 units installed in Gbagada Industrial Estate, Lagos. Zinox is currently the only local OEM partner of Microsoft and Intel Corporation in Nigeria.''

https://zinoxtechnologies.com/

So your fellow Nigerians are manufacturing stuff, including motor vehicles, and helicopters.

https://guardian.ng/news/naf-naseni-to-finalise-work-on-first-made-in-nigeria-helicopter/

Nigerian scientists also designed and built satellites currently hovering in space.

https://www.scidev.net/global/news/nigeria-launches-first-satellite-built-by-africans/

So INSTEAD of your ignorant, stupid, sneering, inferiority complex - laced question of ''Can Nigeria manufacture microchips?'', you should ask ''CAN I USE MY BRAIN AND TALENTS AND GATHER TOGETHER A TEAM OR CONSORTIUM TO BUILD MICROCHIPS?''

Comparing Nigeria economy with Ghana is like comparing night and day…


Ghana economy is just shitt.y!


I bought a small bottle of Vaseline today( it can’t be more than 200# in Nigeria) for 16 cedis. Equivalent of about #1k.


She wants Nigeria economy to be like Ghana’s before we complain. Ghanaians mostly don’t complain you go to market and something you bought yesterday has tripled in price and they just pay. I think traders take advantage of that to increase prices because any amount you call they just pay. They don’t even bargain prices.

Ghanaians value peace over everything else.

But that mindset could come back to bite them.

Sometimes they need to agitate and show displeasure over circumstances, like Nigerians do, or their leaders will keep taking advantage of their pacifism.
