EternalTruths:
Keep your goodness to yourself.

We seek not to share the same country with those who worship a fallen angel called allah


We are satisfied with Yahweh and you are free not to worship Him because without your worship, He still remains the Almighty God.

EternalTruth, me i sabi say, you no get education. Allah is God in Arabic. If you read an arabic bible today, you will see Allah as God. Christian arabs pray to Allah, its the same as saying Chukwu in Ibo, or Abasi in Ibibio or Olorun in Yoruba. Also, the Muslim God and the Christian God has the same origin of truth..... it's the identity of Jesus (Peace of God upon him, amen) and the belief in Prophet Mohammed (peace and Blessing of God be upon him, amen) who is from the Ishmael lineage that separated us. Read, learn and become enlightened my broda.

EternalTruths:
You see why people look down on your god (allah).

Because your god can't feed you guys, that is why you insist on sharing the same country with people who despise your god.


We are worshippers of Yahweh who seek not to share the same country with worshippers of allah

LOL, eternaltruth, where has looking down on my God led you? My broda, i am not fighting for supremacy with you. You can believe whatever you choose while i believe in Allah, my creator and your creator. At the end, we will all give account. I will advice that you study islam for your own good. This is not to convert you, conversion is from God alone, but to increase your IQ. Buhari, a muslim is the one developing Enugu Airport and building 2nd Niger bridge. Shine your eye big bros, stop hating others, live and lets live.

Paperwhite:
He added: “These attacks are retaliatory. As much as I don’t support the killing of human being, the truth must be told that those who carried out the attacks must be on revenge mission.

“There have been recent reports of cow rustling and destruction of farms between Berom farmers and Fulani herdsmen. The people carrying out these criminal activities are well known to the communities but the communities are hiding them.

“Fulani herdsmen have lost about 300 cows in the last few weeks – 94 cows were rustled by armed Berom youths in Fan village, another 36 cows were killed by Berom youths. In addition to that, 174 cattle were rustled and the criminals disappeared with them to Mangu.

“Since these cows were not found, no one should expect peace in the areas. Even soldiers that went after the criminals to recover the rustled cows were shot by the armed rustlers and eventually escaped with all the cows.

Chai! So cattle of course have more value than human lives? Only in a Buhari government.And goverment is creating cattle colonies for these killers? And Buhari government said foolanis are not terrorists
And MURIC said 5 Adamawa natives must die for killing a FG backed Fulani killer-machine? Nigeria this is the time to negotiate our existence.My soul weep for this country.

Paperwhite, You and so many others as always miss the point. Firstly, where is the proof or newspaper quotation that this man said this? secondly, it has been said over and over again, cattle is like children to a fulani herdsman. If cattle means malu and beef to you it means children to a fulani. A fulani will defend his cattle the same way you will defend your child, now understand this and get that into your empty head first. Now lets get down to the matter at hand assuming what they said the miyetti Allah man wrote is true. The govt needs to protect the lives and property of everyone concerned. No one has the right to steal or kill the cattle belonging to others, if Birom youth are responsible for this, they need to be brought to justice. Also, fulani has no right to retaliation, they need to use the police and justice system to get justice if their cow was stolen or killed and not go on a killing spree. So now what is govt supposed to do, simple, Investigate how it all started, if Birom youth are guilty of stealing and killing fulani herdsman cattle, arrest them and ask them why? If fulani cattles are guilty of trespassing and wrecking havoc on birom farmland, get those responsible of trespassing in the first place and bring them to justice also bring those responsible for killing and rustling cattle to justice, then most importantly, the fulanis guilty of going into villages and killing people should be arrested and taken to court. They should be sentenced to death if they are guilty of killing others for retaliation. Now, this is the way to go. All in all we all are responsible for all these death and destruction. The govt is responsible for not policing and ensuring trespassing cattles are taken into custody until the fulani pays a fine to the farmer for trespassing to ensure it does not continue, the govt is also responsible for not arresting and bringing to justice, Birom youths for killing and rustling cattles, the govt is also responsible for not arresting and sentencing to death through a court of law, those fulanis responsible for killing others in retaliation, and some members of the public is responsible for taking sides and not getting to the root of the matter, the public is responsible for lying and taking sides with whatever feeds into their narratives, the media is responsible for taking sides and spreading propaganda which made it worse.

Firefire:
Buhary is not kworupt

Na wah for you oh. Everything Buhari, why do you think all this is coming out? Because of so many policies he is putting in plce silently. Research and open your eyes. Buhari put in place a honest man in charge of JAMB, they complained that he is an Arabic professor bla...bla.. bla. He did not listen to all the wailers, now, NOBODY knew JAMB was a revenue collecting organisation, the DG ordered review and probe and they found out that there has been mega corruption with a lady in Benue not able to account for millions only to say a snake swallowed it, guess who wailers like you are blaming? Buhari....Nigeria we hail thee.

If this na better country wey get "rule of law", that eye witness policeman will be sacked, this woman will become rich from suing the police and all the fake brain dead folks all around. I believe education is almost dead in Nigeria. Reading this alone you will see the stupidity and nonsense in the story, but a lot of people believe it. Shame on us all. Please someone should have mercy and return somebody's grandma in peace, before they stone her to death now, then the Children will later find out they kill their mother and go on a killing spree and they will blame Fulani herdsmen and claim Buhari wants to Islamize Nigeria.

Terrorist Buhari will be celebrating the killing of these Christians right now behind closed doors.
Mission accomplished !

Hello!!!, Are you blind to see that Ojukwu lied and lied and lied that Muslims are out to kill all Ibo Christians, he later ran away to Cote D'ivoire. Muslim Shagari pardoned him and he came back a coward. Nnamdi kanu said the same he is on the run.... Keep lying. What you fail to realize is that God sees us all and sees our hearts, so lie all you want, you can only deceive Man, but God of justice knows and sees it all. Just like you prayed to Chukwu Okike Abiama during the war so also did Nigerian Muslims and Christians prayed sincerely to God. God answered the prayer of Nigerians. Now, this carnage is going on, we still do not know the truth of it, and Yes, we have a very slow and yes i admit not very responsible govt in place. Our prayer is that God will reveal the perpetrators and give us a responsible Govt, amen. Also, may God deal with liars and confuscionists like you, amen.

EternalTruths:
All middle beltans should join IPOB now and use it's international platforms to prevent going into extinction.


Fulani Terrorists have declared war against all Christians.

41 likes. May God almighty bring all killers, liars and haters to Justice, Amen. You keep lying and spreading propaganda in order to promote IPOB. Shame on all of you, Ojukwu died as a runaway coward, Kanu is on the run, what does that tell you, God is on the side of Nigeria, that is why Nigeria won the war against lying Biafra with support from World council of Churches and all other propaganda organisations. Lies will be lies but Truth will forever prevail, may Almighty Allah be praised, amen.

Yoruba Christians, I urge you all to google how Abubakar shekau, the boko haram commander started his terrorism, then compare it with what this Mr Akitola has been doing recently and tell me whether if there is any difference between the two.
Yoruba Christians are in danger for having this kind of terrorist in our midst. The most unfortunate part of it is that this man has a lot of followers looking up to him just like Abubakar shekau.
Remember that Maiduguri which is the den of Boko haram today was the most peaceful capital city as of 1997, but today the city has become something else.

If the activities of this fake professor and his cult followers(Including those on nairaland) are not curtailed, then south west and entire Yoruba Christians are in big trouble. The future of Yoruba is unpredictable because Buhari is backing this demonic Islamic terrorist behind closed doors.

This stupiid second class headslammer has never for once condemned the killing of christians by Fulani herdsmen, but quick to defend his masters even though his masters still see him as a kafir.

What happened between those guys and fulanis was nothing but self defence. If they had not descended on those fulani herdsmen, Fulani herdsmen would descend on them because we all know that average fulani man is troublesome in nature. But the media buhari is controlling will keep covering the truth and be feeding Nigerians with their own lies.

Again, Yoruba Christians are in big trouble!

Cyynthialove,
You have 83 likes, no wonder we are in deep shit in Nigeria. Let me explain something to you clearly that you do not know. Hate, can not do you any good, it will just make you sink deeper and deeper into more hate and at the end it will consume you. Also, Allah, God almighty said and i quote, "they seek to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouth, but Allah will perfect the light however the unbelievers may detest it. Finally, there is truth and there are lies, they fight one another but at the end truth will surely prevail. So keep lying and keep hating people that practice a religion different from yours, just remember that whether you accept it or not, whether you believe it or not, one day, you will surely die and you will give account for all the things you did, the things you said and the ones you thought about in your mind. That day will surely come so, better be ready.....

OMEGA009:
No Nigerian can visit Ajaokuta Steel Company ASC, see investments of more than $8b rotting in the African sun and not cry. i went there, I cried. what exactly is the problem? if I have written severally on this topic, but today let me do a comprehensive post.

Ajaokuta Steel Company is massive, she has 68km road network, 24 housing estates on the project. Some of the estates have over 1,000 homes, a seaport, a 110mw power generation plant, there are 43 separate plants in Ajaokuta alone. It is estimated that if Ajaokuta becomes operational, it will create 500,000 jobs.

There is no industrialized nation on earth that does not have a steel sector it’s that simple. A report by the Central Bank of Nigeria shows that Nigeria currently imports steel, aluminum products and associated derivatives of approximately 25 metric tonnes per annum estimated at $4.5bn, this figure will continue to rise, and the Nigerian economy continues to expand. Ajaokuta is an integrated steel company, it was designed by the Russian to be self-sufficient to get all its inputs from Nigeria and make steel. Ajaokuta strength is also its weakness, Ajaokuta can only work with all inputs available.



this will be a slightly technical post, but please try and follow.



Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon amongst other things, iron is the base metal in steel, to make steel, you need Iron Ore, Coke from Coal, Limestone as main components. these components are mixed in a blast furnace to produce liquid steel which can be long steel for rail lines or flat steel for automobile making etc

To give a simple example, look at steel as making jollof rice, iron ore is the rice, the limestone and coke are the pepper and salt the pot is the blast furnace. At a steel plane the blast furnace is ONLY turned on when the steel company is ready to make steel. Blast furnaces operate continuously and are never shut down. The raw material to be fed into the furnace is divided into several small charges that are introduced into the furnace at 10- to 15-min intervals. this means everything must be in place BEFORE the blast furnace is turned on, the iron ore, the coal, the limestone, everything, why? Because you do not switch off a blast furnace for another 10 years or however its campaign life is.



Nigeria has blessed with all the major raw materials needed to produce steel including iron ore in Kogi, coal and limestone in Enugu.

Nigerian iron has very low iron concentration. Agbaja has the largest iron ore deposit in Nigeria with about 2 billion tonnes but the Agbaja iron ore has a high phosphate content. Phosphate can cause brittleness in steel making it to fracture, thus Agbaga was abandoned for Itakpe. Itakpe iron ore has no issues with phosphate but has low iron content, thus to make steel with Nigeria iron ore, a process called “beneficiation” has to be done to process the Itakpe ores to raise its iron content to meet the required standard for steel production.

Coal? Most of the coal found in Nigeria is non-coking, thus, unsuitable for steel production. coal deposits in Enugu, have no impurities but are non-coking. The good news? Nigeria has abundant deposit of limestone and we have natural gas to provide power



So back to Ajaokuta, what really happened? why can Nigeria not make steel anytime soon? let’s link up the elements

Policy Failure: The Ajaokuta contract was signed between the Nigerian government and the Soviet state-owned company, Tiajpromexport (TPE) the company was scheduled for completion in 1986. In 2012, the Federal Government launched her backward integration policy. Going forward import licenses for steel products was only granted to companies producing steel locally. TPE to ensure they could import steel parts for Ajaokuta simply went ahead and built the rolling mills in Ajaokuta before the actual steel plant was completed, they imported billet from Ukraine to accomplish this. Thus, Ajaokuta was producing steel before the actual steel plant was started. Thus, amazingly Ajaokuta has a functional rolling mills but no operational blast furnace, Ajaokuta cannot produce steel from basic iron ore found in Nigeria in her blast furnace.…this is the definition of cart before the horse.


NIOMCO Factor: The iron ore in Nigeria earmarked for Ajaokuta is from Itakpe, it has low iron content thus the FG built National Iron Ore Mining Company (NIOMCO) a 2.15 metric tonnes beneficiation plant designed to process the low-quality iron ore from Itakpe to iron ore suitable for Ajaokuta Steel. Simply put, if NIOMCO does not operate, Ajaokuta CANNOT operate (unless Ajaokuta uses imported iron ore.) as at today, June 17th 2018, NIOMCO is not operational




Railway: 15m tonnes of iron ore cannot be moved by road, as it will destroy the roads, thus a railway was to be built from Itakpe to Ajaokuta to take iron ore from the beneficiation plan in Itakpe to the Ajaokuta. The. Itakpe to Ajaokuta by rail is just 52km, the rail line was to be delivered by March 2019, but the Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi revised the delivery date to June 2018 and converted the purely commercial railway to also carry human passengers. These changes meant the cost of the project and delivery dates had to change as passenger wagons and train stations had to be built. To achieve this, 12 new passenger stations and 12 access roads had to be designed and built. The Itakpe to Ajaokuta (IA) has two stations. As at June 2018, The station IA1 – Eganyi to Itakpe, is still under design. Station AW1 – Ajaokuta (standard station) (zero per cent work done). Thus the railways are not functional


Blast Furnace: The furnace in Ajaokuta is the heart of Ajaokuta, it is the pot where the jollof rice will be cooked, however it has never been turned on, why? because there has never been any time Ajaokuta has had raw materials available to ensure continuous day in day out production for 5 years. Why has there never been materials? Because there is no rail way to take iron ore from Itakpe to Ajaokuta. Why is there no railway from Itakpe to Ajaokuta? Because NIOMCO in Itakpe is moribund and no functional and cannot convert Nigeria iron ore to high grade ore for the furnace in Ajaokuta.


So, it follows that for Ajaokuta to work, we MUST have three key critical paths



NIOMCO must be functional
Itakpe to Ajaokuta Railway line must be functional
Blast Furnace operational
All three are not functional, so its clear Nigeria cannot make steel in Ajaokuta. Nothing however stops a corrupt government official from importing billets and running them in the rolling mills to deceive tax payers. So, when anyone tells you Ajaokuta will soon work ask them, can a steel plant work without NIOMCO, railways and a blast furnace?



All is not gloom, Kayode Fayemi as Minister was able to secure an out of court about Ajaokuta, we must build on this



In closing, Ajaokuta is the only steel plant in the world built by the USSR, sold to Americans, then to Indians, all these teams have come and gone with their own technical style, there have even been accusations of asset stripping by the Indians.



So why this post? because I am a patriot, I will not sit by and watch scarce resources be wasted in a grand deceit. Probably some corrupt folks have told Mr President that Ajaokuta can produce economically viable steel if “small” dollars are spent. You can already see how the critical rail line delivery dates was moved back to ensure it is done in time for 2019 elections, yet it is still in design stage. Ajaokuta is Nigeria and probably Africa biggest failure. It has failed. Can it be made to work yes but the cost to integrate Ajaokuta with her mines and rails can be used to build new smaller modern turn key functional steel mills. The government should get out of Ajaokuta, sell the place and allows the private sector capital and expertise restructure and own it.



If you want to make jollof rice and there is no rice the solution is not to keep boiling water without rice but to go and get rice.

Excellent. What/Where is the source of this article? Did you put this together?

oneligeria:
Government started Ajaokuta Steel Company many years ago, till now, nothing reasonable is coming from that investment. Does it make economic sense to have investment that is consuming billions of naira without any tangible output?

The problem with Ajaokuta is that we did not follow expert advice for siting the project for easy accessibility to raw materials. It was after installing that we started building rails to link up. That plant ought to have been completed in three years but now it is obsolete.

The steel making technology has changed totally since we started this plant. In terms of size, Ajaokuta Steel Company is the largest integrated steel company in West Africa and has cost the Federal Government an estimated sum of about $7 billion (N1.1 trillion) since it was commissioned by the Shehu Shagari government in 1979. But, unfortunately, the plant has suffered serious set back.

The economic implication is that the cost has increased. So, after finishing, the products may not be competitive again. It means the products will not be sold at the market price that will allow them to make profits, or a reasonable marginal increase.

What is the difference between Ajaokuta Steel Company in Nigeria and Pohany Steel in South Korea ?

There are a lot of differences, but the major difference is viability. For instance, Ajaokuta project started over 30 years ago; up till now, no tangible output is realised from the project. Pohany Steel is the third latest in the world and they finished the first plant in just two years. Pohany Steel started with about 300,000 capacity but has over 8.6million tonnes capacity, showing that the investment is yielding maximum outputs

Forget long story and baseless analysis, weather we build rail before or after, our objective is to produce steel. Focus on what will prevent you from making steel and cross that bridge and start making steel. Let's start producing steel for local consumption first and we can perfect it along the way. Over analysis is always setting us back and killing us. The goal now is just start producing steel, even if you are donating it to nigerians for free, JUST START.... in less than 6 months we will get it right and start turning a profit. Right now Nigerians import steel from Europe. If you are building a storey building, the steel is imported, that is why its so expensive. Right now, all this your baseless analysis is what they will use to bribe our politicians and sinators to keep us dependent on Europe, just like you keep buying Generators because of the complexity and over analysis of PHCN and the generator manufacturers keep turning profits year in year out.

CSTR1003:
The technology there is obsolete.

I hope they improve on them and get that shitt running again churning out millions of tons of steel.

I am not optimistic about it though. I have zero confidence in the buhari administration.

That is the mistake they have been making for ever. Yes the technology is obsolete, but you don't have anyone at all. Let them start producing steel with the obsolete technology, employ people start making steel and move on. In 20 years or less we will have this one running and we will most probably build on it and have the latest one as well. But right now, we don't have the obsolete or new one and we are importing steel from Europe.

The key takeway here is that at least this Govt is credible enough that we are seeing "JUSTICE" on time and not swept under the carpet. Also, the Federal Govt should emulate this and bring so many cases to a logical and fair conclusion, Evans case and the policemen that connived with him is still pending, Abba Kyari money collected from MTN is still pending, The Shaibu girl that has not been released is still pending, Chibok girls are still pending? who is sponsoring bokoharam? case is still pending? IBB taht annulled June 12 has not been held accountable for putting us all in this mess. OBJ that shamelessly went for 3rd term is still running his mouth, Dasuki is still in detention and not charged to court, El zakzakky's case is still outstanding... Maina nkor? and Nnamdi Kanu is hiding out in Ghana

What positive thing has Nigerian Govt or Bayelsan govt done to ensure he doesn't steal again? Sometimes, Govt is responsible for the vices of the feeble minded.

maclatunji:
There are certain things that should not happen. A container falling and crushing people to death at Ojuelegba should not have happened yesterday. Why? It had happened about 2 times before in recent years in the same location and several times in other locations. The Lagos State Government, Federal Road Safety Commission and every other agency involved in securing our roads should have prevented it with strict enforcement of our road safety laws.

Sometimes, Nigerians feel helpless about the problems that confront us but I disagree on this score. It is something we should not tolerate and we should do something about. What have I done? I have tagged the governor on Twitter over this demanding something be done and I think you all can do the same or at the very least promote a campaign to raise awareness and demand that this does not happen again.

Support the #SayNoToUnlatchedContainers Campaign.

Share this on social media and tag the relevant government officials at state and federal level.

Enough is enough and any of us can be a victim of this. The time to take action is now.

I don't hate anyone rather my faith in Christ can never be compromise on the altar of political correctness

Lovat, i guarantee you, if you are in a position of authority, you will make life unbearable for those that do not practice your faith. You already judged that Muslims and Christians do not worship the same God. Also, that is the satanic concept of I am better than him... I worship a living God and i am going to Heaven, they don't and they are doomed for hell etc. You need to change your world view and attitude towards others and understand that there are people that do not speak your language and do not worship how or what you worship and do not like the things you eat or like, period and It is your responsibility to at the very least let others be as long as they are not disturbing you from your own way of life. I, for example I am muslim and that is my faith and my prayer everyday is that any day God will take my life, may i die as a muslim. Now, you might not believe in my faith, why will you question who i worship or if another christian donate his money (not your money) why should that upset you or conclude on who muslims worship? My broda, Tolerance is understanding that i don't worship how you worship and you don't worship how i worship, for you is your faith and for me mine, so lets accept that and live in peace with our commonalities. Peace my broda.
