Who gives a hoot if Nigeria Air is 100% owned by Somalis?

Meanwhile it will be a most stupid decision to allow Nigerians manage the airline.

All these noise about a criminal past is just a waste of time. We belong to a country where nobody, not even the system, cares about even your 'criminal present', let alone something that happened decades ago.

Even if raw evidence is brought forward today that Tinubu (or any other candidate) was a right hand man to Pablo Escobar, the revelation wouldn't still sway the vote of even a single voter; Nigerians will still vote for whoever they want, irrespective of the baggage. We should be focusing on more important things!

so you mean Nigeria has a majority of illetrates who dont know their left from there right. So illiterates will decide the trajectory a country like Nigeria should go, and you think that is progress. Blind men dont lead blind men.
Unfortunately Nigeria has more illiterates than the educated and enlightened. And the ruling class will continue to weaponise that illiteracy and poverty to maintain their stronghold on power.

Well unfortunately for you and Obi, democracy is majority rule and not educated classes rule. The majority decides. You can head to court after the polls with your degree certificates
Nope, nobody's heading to any court if Obi loses; of course democracy is all about numbers.

But if Obi loses, it just proves a sad point; it proves that once again, illiteracy has been weaponised by the aristocratic elite to continue their perpetual subjugation of the nation.... One day, the nonsense will end!

The educated and enlightened populace are all going for obi while the illiterates who are only after their tribe or religion are going for either Kwankwaso atiku or tinubu.
Whoever wins shows if we are truly battling a curse or not in this country.
This is something interesting I've noticed over the course of the electioneering season.

The educated, enlightened and exposed voters CLEARLY lean towards an OBI presidency. That explains why OBI has consistently won ALL online polls (the uneducated and unexposed wouldnt be found online).

Victory for candidates like TINUBU and ATIKU can only depend on the votes of the uneducated, unenlightened and unexposed voters in rural areas. Unfortunately, these people make up a large chunk of the voter population across the country. This probably also explains why the oppressive and suppressive ruling class will always be opposed to educating and empowering the people; cos the moment the people are educated, they (aristocratic ruling class) lose their powers.

The only reason anyone blames Tinubu for whatever wrong happens in Lagos today is cos whatever good that happens in Lagos (even if it's just a private individual opening a new pure water factory), deluded Tinubu followers keep attributing it to Tinubu.

You are right, what I am saying is, we have aeronautics engineers and technicians in this country that can propel us in this area so we are not doing catch-up. We are not good at anything at the moment and all we are doing is buying. The people making it dont have 3 heads.
Just like a few people in this thread have highlighted to you, whilst it is good that we produce or leqrn to produce some of these things, there are times (such as now) when it is economically, scientifically, politically, socially and securitically expedient to just buy them from those who have already produced them.

It's not always the wisest choice to reinvent or produce the wheel. Nigeria is currently drowning in a sea of security challenges. Now is definitely not the time to start prioritising the manufacture of security devices over buying them off the counter. Like someone mentioned in this thread, Russia with all its advancement currently buys drones from Iran. Even the US with all their advancement still buy a lot of devices from China, despite the the political/security implications.

Summary of my point is, there is absolutely nothing wrong or silly or dumb about the NAF purchasing 55 attack helicopter gunships; it's a welcome development.

Why do you think America is converting old aircraft into drones I meant unmanned aircraft. Things change 70% of their mentions are with unmanned aircraft. 99% of the logistics are with manned aircraft. You have the same view if you are in the aircraft and if you are not. If you are in the control room you can easily make decisions. The reason why I suggest drones is because that's the ones we can produce by ourselves.
My dear brother, the world hasnt yet gotten to the point where drones can efficiently and sufficiently replace manned aircrafts. Even the US you talk about that's developing drones everyday, in serious issues, they still send out manned aircrafts. Dont fall for the fictional hype and propaganda tv shows and documentaries you watch, drones arent and cant replace manned aircrafts just yet; maybe that could start happening in the next 20 years but its definitely not the reality today.

And then, did you really just say its silly for Nigeria to acquire helicopter gunships cos drones should have been gotten instead? How could you even think its okay to compare Nigeria with technologically advanced and rich countries? You expect Nigeria to replace manned aircrafts with drones even when advanced countries are yet to achieve that?

A drone would have done 80% of these jobs. All should have done was train technicians and engineers on how to build drones. We could have saved a lot of money there.
You really think Remote Control Planes (a.k.a. drones) can effectively replace the need for manned aircrafts? If that was the case, why exactly are the most technologically advanced and rich countries still bothering to build manned aircrafts and train pilots to go into battle?

Some of you watch too many fake films.

The current flooding around most parts of Nigeria is a natural disaster; a result of nature's anger. This is especially so for the Niger Delta communities around the tributaries of the River Niger.

People mocking GEJ for being a past president and doing nothing, what exactly was he meant to do as president? Fight God?

Realistically it's going to be a herculean task, but we hope and pray Obi grabs 25% of votes in just the right number of northern states. Cos I'm not exactly sure I understand how runoff elections work, but a runoff doesnt seem like it would be favourable for the Obi project.

But truth be told, this is a stolen money.

Do you know how much that you can use to rent plane including the tax?

The parents must be sending excess money to him for him to have extra to rent plane.

May God have mercy on your soul and punish your parents for stealing our money and making many Nigerian's hopeless.
It cost less than $300 per hour; anyone can rent a single engine cessna plane from their basic hustle wage.

There is nothing that suggest the money was earned illegally.

A business man with at least a net worth of $5m dollar could have a child who could be given monthly allowance of $10k

renting a propeller jet is not more than 2.5k an hour
Renting a propeller plane shouldn't even cost up to $300 per hour. Any comfortable person (even students) can afford that trip.

lol! Funny u!
didnt i need to start asking how we owe them? If google aint working the one bubu borrowed from them is enough to give a view to what naija owes. N for ur info about america n china borrow issues i dont think u know how many biz and sky scrapers most of d debt have been converted into,as at now china understand they are in shit with the stuffs btw them because if they Bleep up they dere head in the yankees armpit! US are way ahead of every advance country with 10yrs GAP!
Lol.. information is power my friend. Next time stop assuming you know something even before you've actually done your research on it. You talked about google, but I doubt you've even bothered googling any info on this topic cos you probably believe the rumours, beer parlour gists, hearsays and assumptions you've made are sufficient and reliable sources of info.

Nigwria currently owes China just $3.64 billion (which is just an insignificant portion of our total debt of $103 billion). An actual google search to the DMO site can save you the embarassment of relying on hearsays and beautiful assumptions. The majority of funds Bubu 'planned' to borrow from China still remain as 'plans' that have not materialised, and that may never materialise before he even leaves office; even GEJ borrowed more from China than Bubu.

Lastly, regarding the police stations, the point being made is that the stations have nothing to do with debts to China. Canada does not owe China a dime (China actually owes Canada), but 3 stations were set up in Toronto.

God! Why are we so dumbed like this? So u expect china to accept they did it? Surely they will deny it but it is in the agreement signed by our govt and them when they borrow us money! They will bring their criminals overhere to work and if they misbehave they will lock them up in there own cells not ours! Go check out all other african countries that borrowed money from them,they all have chinese police stations there! I have seen it in zambia,angola,malawi, south africa own is worst because they now have chinese guys in there police force arresting and beating up there citizens. Don't dull urself china get plans down 15yrs ahead of us.
Theomarvelus:
Only outreach service strategy to take over nigeria... the truth will soon unfold between you and your debtor
The USA is the biggest debtor to China; they owe China almost $1 trillion. Bi wonder China also set up 1 police station in New York city in preparation to take over the US. Infact they also set up 3 stations in Canada just incase the American president wants to japa through the border.

For real, all of you saying China will take over Nigeria cos of debt, do you even have the slightest clue how much Nigeria owes China?

voidUpdate:
Oh. Wow. Just 5%.

But why do you think China is building police stations in Nigeria? It just doesn't make sense to me.

We're supposed to be building oil wells, if we're in so much debt.
GreatVocalist:
His question paraphrased:

What else could be the reason for them opening a station in Nigeria?
Whatever their reason is for opening the station, China isn't taking over Nigeria any time soon based on our debt to them because contrary to what so many people erroneously believe, Nigeria's current debt to China is insignificant in the grand scheme of things."

Again, out of Nigeria's total debt stock of ~$103 billion, only ~$3.6 billion of that amount is owed to China, of which we have between 10-20 years to pay it off. $3.6 billion is an amount which even a rich state like Lagos can pay off given the reasonably long term of the loan.

Nigeria currently has a serious debt problem, but China isnt who we should be worried about if you study the figures given.

Meanwhile the stations which China opened in Nigeria were also opened in about 110 countries, across Europe and even in the US and Canada. The US currently owes China about a trillion dollars (yeah you read that right); apparently China wants to take over the US and Canada too? grin

Roger3D:
Peter Obi actually said this
Well, Peter Obi told journalists that Nasir El-Rufai has no business in Anambra and that he shouldn't be there. He said that he cannot go to monitor an election in Katsina and therefore, El-Rufai has no business being in Anambra.
Then Obi should never step foot in Katsina since he has no business there either. He should also know that he is a clown who doesn't know that Elrufai is from Zaria, Kaduna state and not Katsina.

Now does Peter Obi have the right to determine whether a Nigerian citizen has the right to be at any given place in the country or does the constitution?
Forget all thie talk about how it was ordered from Abuja. It was ordered by Obi himself.
Now if Elrufai decides to violate the constitution and pay him back in his own coin Ibos will run the internet wild.

Thumbs up to Nasir for being the bigger man.
May Obi lose and lose he will
There is a difference between saying "a citizen doesnt have the right to be in another state" and "a citizen doesnt have the right to be roaming about in another state on an election day". The last time I checked, even indigenes of the state do not have the right to move about on election days.

Nigeria is owing the GDP of another smaller nation as loan collected from China.
voidUpdate:
The borrower is *slave* to the lender
Nigeria may eventually become a slave to the lender, but that lender is definitely not China.

Out of Nigeria's total debt stock of $103.31 billion (N42.84 trillion) as at June 30, 2022, the amount owed to China is less than $4 billion, i.e. less than 5% of our total debt stock ...even Lagos state can pay that off easily. The people saying Nigeria would be taken over by China because of debt obviously do not know this fact. It's clearly not the debt to China we should be worried about.
