Huge and stupid?

We are still cooking with kerosine and Firewood and think the best thing to do is export gas.

When we export gas we export our children's future and jobs
Let us ask a simple question

What do those countries that buy our gas do with it and what do we buy from them in return

Google
List of top gas consuming countries you will find the top world economies

What we need to invest in is our capacity to distribute and use gas INSIDE Nigeria

That money should go on gas power plants in Nigeria and not gas pipelines for export.
Last year we made less than a billion USD from gas.

When that gas reaches Europe it would be retailed for much more(we lose)
It will contribute a lot more to their GDP and used in products which we then end up importing e.g. fertilizers(we lose again)

Among the most energy intensive products are
Basic Chemicals( Germany is one of the leading producers)
Steel
Cement
Foods e.g chocolates,beverages,tobacco
Paper
plastics
Glass
Aluminium
ALL products that we import a lot

All products we have no business importing

Strategically we should focus on using our energy for Value Addition

Does it make sense for us to

Sell cassava to anyone and then buy gari in return?

But FOR DECADES

we are buying petrol and diesel

We should not compound that folly by

putting our money into pipelines for gas to Europe

We can never get a fair price for it and we should focus on using it to boost our own economy

Let us aim to be a world leader in Glass and fertilizer . We have everything needed for that. Why export it?

Rather les us offer free or very cheap gas for 10 years for companies to come and open manufacturing plants

Glass is a big deal not gas
There is growing glass market of $120 billion worldwide, growing fertilizer market, growing steel and cement market

That should be our focus

Now that we're not exporting the gas, aren't you still using firewood to cook while you burn away billions of dollars in flares?

Developing local gas infrastructure is important, and developing capacity to export the flared gases is also extremely important.

The number of people picking B (the second sentence) is disturbing; why do so many people feel it's proper to place a 'comma' before or together with 'and'?

Whilst it may not be wrong to do so in certain cases, the most appropriate answer is C (the third sentence).

Oyibo too dey suffer from cancer.
Asians and Africans got the strongest immune system

Story story! I'm pretty sure Africans have as many cancer related deaths as much as the oyibos. Only difference is that we dont diagnose it; 99% of cancer deaths in Africa are not diagnosed. We just call it 'died after a brief illness' or we call it village juju and go spiritual.

Not a lawyer but maybe woman 'A' could just deny that she ever collected any sewing maching from woman 'B'. Woman 'B' may show the court a receipt but does she have any evidence that she ever gave the macchine to woman 'A'?

There is something called "basics".
Ans the fact that u don't necessarily have to travel down to developed nations to actually have a clue of what governance is about.
You need to wake up

I'm not sleeping, I only gave you a word of wisdom to ponder on. What you term 'mediocrity' may mean the world to someone else and what you term 'achievement' may be worthless mediocrity to another.

kaymart:
Africans keep celebrating mediocrity

Whatever it is you may think is an actual achievement, will also be mediocrity to someone else.

thebosstrevor1:
Jonathan, buhari are all puppets.

They had their tribemen or godfather pulling the strings.

As a president you have to please those who put you in power because they can remove you during your second term election.

Name the godfather.... 'Tribesmen' isnt the name of a person.

thebosstrevor1:
Osibanjo is just a controlled opposition created by Tinubu to create an illusion to apc delegates, Christians and middle class voters that they have a choice to vote for a Christian man who can change Nigeria. It is just a political deception created to deceive you all.

You need to understand, that Buhari is a muslim and tinubu is a muslim, Osinbanjo is a Christian and it is time for Yorubas to rule, some Christian will point out that since buhari is a Muslim, Tinubu a Muslim can not rule but here comes Osinbanjo a Christian, a unifier, created to change the game.

Osinbanjo is working for tinubu but pretends like he is working for Nigerians. Tinubu is the string, Osinbajo is the puppet. What ever happens, the string will always control the puppet.

You see, the endsar in lagos made tinubu to know that
most youths do not like him, he understands that to play the game well, he need to use his puppet osinbanjo to play a game on those haters, the delegate, Christian and middle class voters.

How?

Osinbanjo is popular, respected and liked by everyone especially Christians and the middle class, they say he is a good manager and also a unifying entity in Nigeria. Atleast, this is our perception of him.

Inorder for Tinubu to get votes by using Osinbanjo, he created an illusion and a disguise to voters.

This is the trick, tinubu will fund Osinbanjo presidential ambition and also fund his own political ambition, infact, publicly, Osinbajo will gain popularity among Citizens but secretly Tinubu will buy up atleast more than half of the delegates.

On the day of Apc convention to choose the flag bearer, they will create an illusion that Osinbanjo is wining the delegate votes but Tinubu will eventually win by a whisker thus creating the illusion that Osinbanjo has a solid base that can compete with Tinubu.

The show begins.

After Tinubu wins by a whisker,he will promise Osinbanjo and his delegates juicy positions in his government and talk about working together in unity for the party. After the agreement, Osinbanjo will use his image to campaign for Tinubu and convince his target base which are Christians and the middle class to vote for Tinubu in the election. Tinubu will win and gets all the votes.

Tinubu is your president and you were tricked by Osinbanjo.

Now, if by mistake, Osinbanjo becomes the Apc flag bearer, and eventually wins the election, Tinubu the string master will still have power over his puppet Osinbanjo.

So it is a win win situation for Tinubu and apc.

The bolded bit of your comment is one big tale which so many people delude themselves with. A president of Nigeria is an emperor and cannot have a godfather. The day Osinbajo gets elected as president, that's the day he instantly becomes Tinubu's godfather.

GooodHardDick:
True.

But that doesn't change the fact that we all need Peter obi to rescue Nigeria.

Let's come out in mass and vote massively for Peter Obi come 2023. Let's build a better Nigeria!

Vote for Peter Obi 2023!

Yeah but please stop Igbonising his candidacy; except you want to chase voters away.

GooodHardDick:
It is now certain that We all need Peter Obi to rescue Nigeria!

Peter obi is the best man for the job. I'll urge everyone out there to come out in mass and vote massively for Peter obi come 2023.

I support Peter Obi
I support Igbo presidency 100%

Peter Obi will make a good president, but the moment you keep harping the term 'Igbo Presidency', you unknowingly reduce Peter Obi to a regional / tribal candidate, thereby sabotaging his prospects. We need to dump the clannish attitude because it never works.

okeysoninv:
lol, Enugu that houses second largest estate in Nigeria after gwarimpa in Abuja. have you been to ind.layout, Gra, trans ekulu and new haven.

I've been all around enugu and all around owerri. Owerri is more beautiful and serene in my opinion. I guess it's just subjective opinion though.

okeysoninv:
you never been to Enugu

I think you on the contrary have not been to Owerri. Enugu may have one or 2 beautiful streets, but overall, the beauty in Owerri is far more widespread.

mannasseh:
Have you seen this Tweet by shehu sani, what are your views on it, in relation to yemi Osinbajo and Bola Tinibu.
What difference can they actually make if nothing much is seen even with their presence and stronghold in this current administration.

Was Shehu not a top member if apc just until recently?.... The 'wisdom' he keeps dropping on twitter, why did he deny his former oga the wisdom he possesses?

thorpido:
Crazy world.
They couldn't just take the heat.Why take their family members with them?

The fact that there are people who actually swallow the 'suicide' logic here is shocking.

Hassanmaye:
Please I don't agree with this

Well, its up to you. Goodluck as you try to play God.

Sanchez13:
Na kids wey never reach 15 years we d talk about oo. This is purely lack of home training,nothing else.

Of course some parents are careless, but even the best parents in the world cant be with their children 100% of the time; not even toddlers can get 100% attention from the best patents in the world.

No parent is 'G-O-D'; no matter how good you are as a parent, your child still gets some exposure to society and we can only pray our kids dont fall into unfortunate company. That your kids didnt fall into wrong company isnt exactly 100% by your power; na only God dey help children

abbey621:
It's not the job of society to raise your child!

Parents alone cannot raise kids... Kids will always be exposed to the society; no matter how excellently perfect parents and teachers are in shielding children from society, children will inevitably be exposed to society. E Even if parents and teachers monitor children 99.9% of the time (which is impractical anyway), that 0.1% of the time the child is exposed to society can still destroy the child.

So yeah in this case, society failed the children too.

OK we have heard you. Show me where the thing pain you

Afonja face your region before you die of heart ache. Igbos are too advanced and educated for you to understand. Leave our sit at home. It doesn't stop you from mining human skull in Ogun state for ritual.

Of course Igbos are advanced and educated; typical examples are myself and several other well meaning Igbos including Prof Soludo who despite the backlash from idiots, have still publicly denounced the forceful sit at home. But then again, no matter how advanced we are, that doesnt stop us from also having dumb rettards like yourself who have skulls filled with expired utaba instead of brain cells.

Your mental incapacity is the reason you glorify the activities of deranged hoodlums who sabotage economic activities in the south east under the guise of 'hurting Yorubas and Hausas'. Apparently even in a thousand years, your brain would never be able to comprehend the damage caused by your impaired judgement; your slow brain rather tells you you're hurting Yorubas and Hausas, and that's why every sensible person who advises you otherwise is an Afonja to you. Okoko!

Kriss216:
You don't call people's choice bunkum.

You mean people sittingin their homes for 'safety' is what you call choice? Make una continue to dey mumu unasef...

Stop brutalising and instilling fear on those who refuse to stay home and see if anyone will still remain at home.

Upworkwriter007:
How politicians think: Any presidential aspirant that doesn't have support from the east may simply sponsor these men to suppress votes. Easy strategy, you don't need to campaign. Just suppress votes there, UGM, and provides incentives in your locality.

Yeah the non-Igbo politician who's sponsoring UGM to reduce votes in the SE is also sponsoring the thousands of idiots with Igbo names online on all social media platforms who never fail to hail the UGM and ESN whenever they strike. Those online comments are also paid for by non-Igbo actors.

Anyone can clearly deduce the similarities between the ideology of the UGM and the mentality of those dimwitted fellows commenting and hailing them online. But you want to keep deluding yourself that UGM is sponsored by non-Igbos?

When will we ever learn to take responsibility and stop blaming 'other tribes' for all our fuckups?

Anyway, I really do hope you're being sarcastic with your above comment.

dadabashua1:
I hardly make comments on issues relating to the security challenges in the eastern part of the country, but I think is time Nigeria allow the people from the east get a referendum, if they want to go,they should be granted their wish,enough of the killing already,RIP and take heart.

And who told you the referendum will be free and fair? When people arent even allowed the freedom to decide if they can work or trade on certain days of the week?... When people are brutalised and shot because they chose to go pick up their PVCs? And you think the marauding terrorists will permit anyone to vote against separation?

tsinzu:
You are online calling it stupid sit at home and calling people crackhead criminals, talk is cheap. Why don't you go and help soludo stop the sit at home? The foolish man has run out of the country to go and rest after igniting a fire in his state. Was stopping sit at home the agenda he campaigned with? Is the way he went about it the best way to stop it? No consultation, no attempt at reaching an accord you just woke up one day and gave order as ultimate commander wey he be nah and he immediately started threatening a show of force using Nigerian military. Lol, na today? Even Uzodinma that was forming hard man before is now begging for peace yet soludo wants to make the same mistake Uzodinma made. Since he wants to waste his four years pursuing his shadows, they will help him waste it very well. Foolish man, he didn't behave like a wise man at all

Continue supporting and defending acts of terrorism. It's only a matter of time before your own head and/or that of your loved one will be blown away too; and then like many others before you, perhaps you will receive 'sense' too.

tsinzu:
His territory was not on fire until he foolishly went and ignited a fire by himself and now every criminal will hide under the cover of that fire to cause mayhem in his territory. Even Uzodinma that was forming hard man before is now begging for peace yet soludo wants to make the same mistake Uzodinma made. Since he wants to waste his four years pursuing his shadows, they will help him waste it very well. Foolish man

By calling for a stoppage to your stupid sit at home tyranny and recurring terrorist attacks against innocent people who flout your sit at home order, is that what you crackhead criminals mean when you say 'Soludo ignited fire'?

His people are being terrorised regularly by bastard sons of the gun and forcefully made to remain at home on mondays, and you expect a governor not to do something about that?

Valkrie:
Yeah same way they handled boko haram with stiff measures and over 13 years after we are still in the mess and this agitation is even more legitimate...somebody said they want a divorce and the other party said no way and the aggrieved party got hold of a rifle after suffering years of abuse.......just tell me how it would end..?

Soludo brought this on himself when he was tryinvg to play Idi Amin...you don't comfront an aggrieved person...the best is to be diplomatic even if you don't give him what he wants...!! Soludo's village was peaceful until the jaguda came and start running his mouth...if he thinks the Nigetia security is capable of helping him then he is on a long thing....!!!

There will always be idiots justifying the madness and looking for how to blame everyone else but themselves. Now Soludo is the culprit according to this one. Soludo the governor and chief security officer of the state should have folded his hands and kept shut while crackheaded hoodlums over-run his territory.

This is one of the saddest things I've seen in a while.... Shebi na this one be the Biafra wey people dey fight for? Largely because of hatred against Buhari who leaves office in roughly 12 months time.

Another African barbaric tyrannical regime awaits is these idiots arent flushed out as soon as possible.
