Anigreat:Quite on the contrary... it’s because these apps (Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp) share data with the US security institutions . And these apps are known to be used by these institutions to promulgate regime change. China being a top adversary to the US is highly wary of these avenues used by the US for social engineering, manufacturing consent and regime change. These weibo apps and rest are alternatives to the western structures. Just the way they have their own payment system unionpay, Alipay. It’s a good move by them to be self sufficient and not rely on western structures. They are aligning with Russia to build an alternative to SWIFT bank settlement system. That’s another western construct that they often dangle as sanction to any nation that refuses to kowtow to their US-Rule based order. Remember Iran was cut off from SWIFT for experimenting with nuclear technology. Same technology that US, Israel, UK,China, India, Pakistan and Russia owns. Venezuela gold reserve in U.K. bank was seized by U.K. Afghan monetary reserves in US bank seized because the Talibs beat the US. They have their own aviation industry up and running in case the west instructs Boeing and Airbus not to supply spare parts. Same way the west crippled Iranian aviation industry with sanctions on spare parts. Despite the pressure from the west including economic sanctions and all, they are resilient and dependent on their internal and external market to maintain growth. Local consumption of goods and services have grown tremendously. How much is too much when it comes to tattooing the body? I think some do take this the extreme by painting all the body. I understand it’s an individual choice but such comes with consequences. So many institutions have restrictions on body alterations.. no beards in the military, no long hairs, males can’t plait their hair like female and work in government office. We all do have restrictions one way or another. Side note: the Christian faith in Nigeria doesn’t allow tattoos, right? |
Moorish:You mean $500B ? Then if we can’t build it... why don’t we rent power stations like karpowership? |
Sluvist:But many western countries will scrap deisel / gasoline engines by 2050.... why can’t we get ourselves ready for electric car that’s the future |
Eriokanmi:The elites are damn greedy... thinking of self only. Them they use the people dey catch cruise. Living abroad helps one understand what infrastructure decay we have. Seoul has an underground rail network that lets you travel underground for hours and not see day light till you get to your destination. Would it be nice to have a massive ferry moving workers from Ojo / mile2 to island every morning and evening rather than the limited shuttles on laswa. Then compliment this initiative with the light rail... wonderful scheme!

Why can’t we have a stable power supply? Why can’t we reform the laws allowing states to generate power under clean energy act? Why can’t the central leadership coerce all these “no-good” state leadership to get up and starting working for their state rather than wait for handout from central? Most of the Emirates in UAE run their own power supply scheme. Some emirates like Ajman is not as big as Lagos, yet they have their power plants. See below photo3 Ajman’s power plant. It’s 2021.... the science of power generation is quite rudimentary at these times. Not a big deal! It’s the same basic science of your tiger generator scaled up a thousand times. Turkey runs an offshore power turbine (on ship) off the coast of Lebanon to supply power to this nation (Lebanon). Lagos can get one of this. Lagos can afford it. If they can’t, then rent the service. See below Turkey’s Karpowership. China will be more than happy to build a power plant on each state in Nigeria on a long term repayment agreement; just the way we partnered with them on rail. Sometimes we need brute force to make a change... the way Sanusi forced everyone to go cashless. Now POS operator is a popular employment scheme around Nigeria, though not good enough, better then staying unemployed. But what we have is a bunch of clowns who are after their own interest. Their greed stinks! Most often they distract the people with non issues while they are neck deep in the coffers It’s an APC government, an APC legislature... what are they waiting for? PS: second photo is shell’s power supply scheme to Aba industrial zone. It’s a limited scheme.

Fourwinds:A strike from Latakia into Israel? Please check the map. The projectile would have to fly over Lebanon to hit Israel. There was no such missile attack against Israel from Latakia Since the onset of this “regime -change” war sponsored by US and U.K. , Israel has been attacking Syria for no reason . Even at the peak of the war, Israel was sponsoring jihadist to attach Syria from Occupied Golan height. It’s sad. |
Microwhy:Iran bombed Americans and nothing happened! |
VOsimhen144:Don’t support this wrong doing. Israel is a bully. The nation has repeatedly bombed Syria for no reason just to exercise her might. Syria as a nation has every right to align with any country she chooses, including Russia and Syria. This clearly shows the repugnant hypocrisy of the west. They often turn a blind eye when it’s in their interest. One day this problem will come to a head.. |
Maxymilliano:Both men have been in and out of leadership of this country since 1975, and yet the country and the region are in tatters! Both do not deserve Front page, please! |
walkbrazil4k:That fake food concept is really a business idea. Many restaurants in Nigeria don’t have fake food displays. Many restaurants in Japan and Korea have these displays that actually show what the menu looks like. If you have such a company in Brazil Making fake food, see if you can introduce the concept to Restaurants in Nigeria |
GoodHardDick:I think it is more of sheer greed mixed with stupidity.they think of them self first. If the North Koreans can build an “underground” rail network despite economic blockade, then we with oil wealth cannot have decent roads without potholes
|
RenaissanceGuy:You just dey realize we get many dumb folks on NL. Japan that ran an empire covering the Korean Peninsula and China. |
freshkpomo:Nothing happened to our relationship with Japan but corruption. Our leaders are so averse to technology. Imagine in 2021 we still can not turn enough turbines to generate electricity... |
richeeyo:The Bayraktar has proven it’s performance in many battles including the battle of Idlib, Libyan’s battle for Tripoli and the recent Nagorna war with Azerbaijan. Considering that we need to maintain 24hours surveillance of operational theater and forward operation support, don’t you think the combat drones are better suited than the tocano? |
richeeyo:What’s the stats on A10? How long can they stay up on full load? PS: USA have not sold this A10 aircraft to any country? |
Just thinking aloud here. Nigeria spent $500 Million acquiring 6 super tocano jets from the US to combat the insurgency in the Northeast. $500 million can buy 100 Bayraktar TB2 combat drones at a price of $5 million each. Isn’t It cost effective for us? I mean these drones have a 24hour endurance flight with a good range. We could saturate the skies over Sambisa and maintain a siege on these jihadist. What do you think guys?

ogododo:Brother, please don’t join these clowns to defame the reporter. They are trying desperately to deflect the issue of the report and now resorting to attacker the reporter, poking unnecessary holes at the report. This is typical of the Nigeria elite and the ruling circle...attack the messenger and ignore the message. The facts remain that secret cult is a problem in this part of the world and politicians often use these member to promote their ambitions in a deadly manner. During Jonathan’s rule, when Amaechi and wike were in a tussle, boys (Viking) in support of wike disrupted a conference organized by Amaechi in Port harcourt. Wike was with them. The extrajudicial killing is clear sign of the states inability to maintain peace and order. And the state have left this issue to fester to a point it has sipped down to secondary schools; even to neighborhoods. That’s call a spade a spade and accept the fact that as a society we face and immense challenge on all front: poverty, joblessness, maladministration, cultism, robbery, ritual murders..and the list goes on. WE HAVE TO WAKE UP AND DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES HOLDING US DOWN. Please brother... don’t join their chorus! Food for thought: North Korea, despite economic blockade, built an impressive underground rail network for her people. See photo With all our oil wealth we are still battling with surface rail. Well.... thanks for the Chinese for coming to help us on that one

Joeny:You know why these blenders are so expensive ... the brand on them. The core of any blender is the power board, universal motor and a drive shaft with double oil seal and double bearing. You can actually get a good tokunbo (50mm coil) and mount on your countertop with a metal drive shaft plus a 2 liter jar all under 25k... same par with vitamix in terms of power. |
Casemiro:My advice, never buy those blenders branded as kenwood, Bosch , silvercrest, with 3000w, 4500watts, in some cases 5000watts written on the package. They are fake, and they run on Aluminium coil winding. For 10,000naira, I think you can get those plastic jar blenders rated below 500watts. They are ok but don’t run it continuously for more than 20seconds at a blend. Use the start for 20secs and stop for 20secs technique to avoid burn out. Don’t buy the new ones, mostly Aluminium coil in them. |
Pease stop deceiving these folks.... YOU CAN NOT MINE BITCOIN ON A FLIMSY CELLPHONE. |
Please note there is an information war between the west and China, Russia (first tier) and Iran, Venezuela, North Korea (second tier). These nations( first tier) , according to western military doctrine, are an existential threat to their global imperialism. That’s the meaning of the phrase “pivot to Asia” by the Americans. The west is fight with their media BBC, CNN and the rest of them main stream outlets. So do not take what these outlets parrot as the truth.... a lot is propaganda at its worst. When the western had a monopoly on telephony technology, they spied On everyone else. Siemens, Alcatel, Lucent were all western telephony hardware Providers. And they spied. Now they have prevented Huawei on the networks because they fear the same. So much for the propaganda on 5G because the Chinese had it first. You see there is an information war. Don’t spread their lies. Stick to the truth. Read alt-media to gain a firm understanding of the spins. Take a hint here: https://www.moonofalabama.org/2021/12/new-york-times-covers-up-its-debunked-lies-about-tennis-star-peng-shuai-by-adding-new-ones-.html#more |
Natajo2021:Brother, what you have written here are all propaganda parroted by the west to demean China in the modern day information war. First of all, China did not take over Ugandan airport. That’s story has been addressed by the Ugandan authorities. Like I have said before, China provides an immense opportunity for under-developed nations like Nigeria to gain a technology transfer; and a cheap transfer for that matter. Likes of Innoson (IVM) are taking advantage of this transfer to setup auto assemble plant. Europeans and Americans won’t provide this to these poor nations on the cheap. I have been to China. And I tell you for a fact, our people need all the technology we can get from the Chinese: from power plants, heavy duty machineries to small scale setups for our entrepreneurs. I have quite a lot of Chinese friends here who are into agriculture. Most of the vegetables supplied to supermarkets in Ikeja, Lagos island are from their farms. I hope you change your views on China. They mean well with BRI projects. For them BRI provides an escape from the hegemony of the west; and alternative to the western trade routes. In the current war with the west, the Chinese are seeking friends elsewhere in Africa, South America etc. we could align with them strategically but not hurt the egos of the western world. Visit China when you can. I promise you a change of view

This is the most bizarre propaganda I have ever come across on Nairaland . China has provided an immense opportunity for African nations to industrialize on the cheap. Rather than tap into this technology transfer, you are spreading to defame another nation and her nationals. Honestly we lack a lot in technology. And the west would not provide these knowledge on the cheap. Look around you, many things are possible due to cheap Chinese technology... from pure water machines to cheap “indomie” processing plant. With less than $2000 you can setup a mini production(tin tomato) courtesy of Chinese technology. Why not tap into this? Why demean a nation that means well? They have provided you loans if well managed can help transform this country. They have their heavy industries willing to come here and help setup backbone infrastructure that we will need to advance as a nation. The Europeans and the American won’t do that for you on the cheap without strings attached. Have you been to China? I think a visit to Shanghai or Beijing will definitely change your view on things. |
MangekyoAlt:They are neck deep in propaganda against Russia and China. Same propaganda ran by NYT and WaPo against a Chinese tennis player who has on record denied those allegations. |
slivertongue:Brother, why can’t the parties have a record of registered members? What’s hard in that? |
DemMannaScam: |
mach7:Mach7, I like your comment. It shows you read beyond the headlines; and obviously not into CNN kinda news reportage. I wish there were more educated folks on NL but sadly you get a herd of high school kids who absolutely know zilch about local affairs not to mention the world politics. |
raulkayod:Please brother, what’s so bad about direct primaries? The only reason I heard from those opposed to this is cost. Any other reason? |
Tribu:Brother, reports on the activities of members of this organization and others like them are not a good read. This is a report by the Guardian: https://guardian.ng/news/italy-arrests-30-nigerian-mafia-members/ These ulcers borne out of thuggery at local institutions here in Nigeria has really spread across Europe. The head of this movement was arrested in Italy. That’s how culpable the leadership are in some of these illegalities. |
enebaino:I reckon you take lightly the meaning of the words -extrajudicial killing. The testimonies are not one but many reports of members of NBM in clashes with other organizations, which often leads to death, mutilation and other atrocities. Funny enough, if NBM were expelling erring members, I doubt there will any member left in tertiary institutions. Italian media last year aired report on NBM activities in Napoli and Firenze. These dodgy activities made the Italian prosecution to go after many Nigerians. Many NBM members were arrested and jailed. The crimes involved racketeering, forced prostitution, human trafficking etc. All these do not sound like an organization really determined to expel illegals amongst her ranks. The saddest part is the recruitment of high school kids.... what a benign organization, indeed. |
Tribu:How many times have you seen NBM call a press conference to condemn the conducts of erring members? How many times have NBM demanded justice for people who were extrajudicially killed by members? Now back to my earlier reply, you demanded that BBC should apologize for reporting the atrocious activities of NBM members. Why should BBC apologize? Members of NBM in this BBC report described abdominal crimes committed. Has NBM done anything about these crimes by members if they were such a noble organization? |
