May GOD bless Nigeria

May GOD bless the current administration team working tirelesly for the betterment of the country and her populace

May GOD bless all patriotic Nigerians too, myself and you

WE RISE!

Too bad some people don't know how to separate pleasure from work and it's dragging them down the mud.

Long may the trend continues

I wasn’t referring to just you but the Nigerians on this thread in general. One even compared the wealth of Diezani to Elon Musk.
.....
Who are you lying to? Very few people in Africa have clean money. It’s dirty, even Dangote has dirty money.

You have all manners of issues tucked in one body. It ain't a matter of either, but certainty. You have comprehension issues with burning h@te, poor upbringing, shameful level of moral, dirty mudfight and ·disgusting bigotry. You're already down the mud and continue to look for whom to drag down the mess with you.
For clarity, the word “might” in the context of my previous post didn't represent “may” or its past tense （such tense would have been incorrect in a present tense context to start with） but is a conditional word that iterate acceptance of the point of contest EVENTHOUGH THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL POINT THAT ONE'S WILLING TO INPUT. That the western dudes in this argument are FAR richer than DANGOTE hadn't been a point of contest in any of my post. From first to this last one （'cause I won't honour you with another reply after this）, I hadn't disputed it. So, what seems to be your problem that you drag me around for it？And why is it that the fury you have over certain Nigerians believing DANGOTE is richer （even though I hold my reservation over that accusation because Ii've never met one who believe DANGOTE is richer than any of MUSK, GATES, MARK, BEZOS, et all. Not even the semi- and the stark illiterate on the street） should be expended on my mention？ How's what others think my concern？ If you find it difficult understanding simple sentence or worse still, looking for a fight opposition, I'm sorry I can't help you. This is goodbye.

inna lillah wa inna, ilayhin rajeeun

Hmmmmm! Hope they're coming with irresistible fares.

Hope they've factored in all likely cost of refining and crude oil acquisition before arriving at the price limit？ Anyway, we await the result of their meeting but we pray it yieds good result for the sake of the masses.

HBD big boss

Despite the attention their region is hereby getting especially in road and rail tracks development, they still can't stop the h@te against the administration that's making this much happen for them. Bunch ol ingrates.

Don't mind them, we're already keeping their receipt for the 2027 election. Internet never forget

Plenty of new upgrades oncoming into our government world through this administration. Another legacy of the Tinubu era.

2027 is around the corner. We're only gathering receipts in advance, Rufai.

City guys..... Lagos men

Atiku pretending he cares about Nigerians from his Dubai luxurious home procured and continued to be funded from looted funds from the common wealth. SMH

How much does it cost to enrol in swimming class again？ As an artist, these are basic necessity for the job but trust Nigerians, many ignore doing things right.

May GOD strengthen the family he left behind.

So you ain’t that crazy but you’re still crazy? You shouldn’t even put
DANGOTE
AND

THE LIKES OF ZUCKERBERG, Gates, Larry Paige on the same sentence. They are way out of his league. Outside of Africa, how many people have heard of Dangote’s company?

Compare that to the likes of Google, Meta (Facebook) and Microsoft that are universal, those terms are ubiquitous.

My point was that Dangote will not have anywhere near the wealth as in not even 1/10th of the wealth of people that literally founded trillion dollar companies. I’ve seen Nigerians comparing their elites to those of the US, China, UK, Germany or any major economy. That is ridiculous.

It is either you have comprehension issue or you just love mudfight. Despite having told you I ain't comparing their wealth, you still go on slapping the same bullsh!t on me especially with irrational abuse that denotes your poor upbringing and shameful manners. If you're frustrated, spare me the fury 'cause I ain't the cause of your problem.
As for DANGOTE not supposed to be in the same sentence with MARK, BEZOS, GATES, MUSK etc, you're absolutely just spewing h@te because in as much as DANGOTE remains the richest in Africa and keeps expanding his empire, he would always be in the talks involving extremely rich dudes. FORBES would always list him in the context. It doesn't matter what rank he holds, he would always be there.
Don't let your dislike for DANGOTE becloud your gumption. Whether you wish him well or not, he will always attain the height he's destined to. Eventhough he might not be as rich as the western dudes, it takes nothing away from his resilient and ruggedity as an enterprenuer.

A new meme for VOTE WISELY!

Musu nigeria met lagos like lagos had a self inhabitants that excluded the yorubas abi gerrrra Bleep with ur half baked knowledge

Don't let your h@te k!ll you, so take things easy. LAGOS was a standalone colony developing through her inhouse resources and commercial prowess and was well ahead of others in any part of todays NIGERIA before the colonial masters decided to merge the regions. There was nothing like NIGERIA then until the amalgamation. Just like there's nothing like AREWA country, ODUDUWA REPUBLIC and BIAFRA sovereinty yet until they get officially formed. It doesn't mean the place wasn't inhabited but that the people were identified differently from the new nationality that thereafter claimed them. If LAGOS had been merged with the REPUBLIC OF BENIN, it would!ve been BENIN that inherits her after colonialism.
Many sovereign country exist today that weren't back then. They （the people）are simply new citizens from before. I h@te to go your shameful curses way because I may be brutal if I go that route.

Na nymph she be. Her type for naija retires out of service early because BOYS TOO USE FVCK TIRE THEM THAT THEY HARDLY FLIRT AROUND AGAIN.

Damn!

Good

OfficialAPCNig:
You are too optimistic.

Let me ask, have you ever wondered why Geometric had to build entirely new transmission infrastructure instead of using existing TCN transmission lines? Nigeria has an installed capacity of over 1.3 GW, yet the highest we have ever sent to the national grid was 5,800 MW. Have you ever asked why?

Our national grid has a limited electricity-carrying capacity. It will collapse the moment you send over 6,000 MW to it. We need to upgrade to the grid to be able to carry that amount of electricity.

I guess you now understand why I said, it'll cost Lagos nearly $80 billion to be fully powered.

It'll cover the cost of building the power stations, building a new pipeline from Imo to Lagos, which is 529 KM, and installing new transmission cables to go entirely off-national-grid.


It's not SAMSUNG but Siemens.

The agreement, which was signed in 2019, was to deliver 7,000 MW to the national grid by 2021 and additional, 11,000 MW by 2023, totalling 18GW not 17 GW as you stated above. But this is 2024 and Siemens haven't added 1 MW to the national grid.

I believe you already know why.


Even at that, Lagos doesn't have $5 billion to build a GW of power plant. Again, $5 billion can't build a power plant.

Geometric that sits just 25Km away from its gas source costs $800 million many years ago. A 529-KM gas pipeline from Imo to Lagos will cost nearly $2 billion. I don't want to even talk about the transmission infrastructure. A KM cost over $1.2 million. Aba Geometric's transmission cables are over 150KM. How many do you think Lagos will need to fully distribute a GW of electricity?


How many years for each phase?


I don't know where you got $14 billion. Geometric cost $800 million.

Oya, use $500 million to build a 188MW integrated power plant with 25 km gas pipeline, transmission infrastructure with 150 KM cables, and a distribution company (disco) serving 9 LGAs.

To begin, thumbs up for the correction of the wrong name of firm I had up there. It's a matter of thinking one thing but writing another even when one of the link I posted, which I read myself, pointed it out clearly it's SIEMENS. But then, I guess you didn't read those links I provided too. Anyway, to save time, POWER GENERATION CAN BE SOURCED FROM DIFFERENT FORM OF RESOURCES AND ENERGY: IT INCLUDES BUT NOT LIMITED TO GAS （that you based you argument on）, SOLAR, FUEL, HYDRO, COAL etc. I showed various links where some power generation projects are constructed in recent times, their costs and sources of energy. There was another that showed the cost earmarked for the SIEMENS multi-phased investment in the same sector （whether the project is onstream or not doesn't matter although contrary to your opinion and in support of my assertion in previous post, the project is very much alive but delayed）and the number of GIGAWATTS intended to inject into the national grid. It was under $5b. In the same article, the ZUNGERU power plant was highlighted. It was a 700MW power plant in the Kaduna river and it cost around $1.3b to complete. So in a nutshell, there's no way LAGOS would needupward of $15b dollars to get （even your proposed 10gigawatts）let alone spending more on top of just a gigawatt.
Secondly, I never said the source of energy must basically be GAS. It could be anything, provided it's cost-efficient, time-saving, and readily available in time of repair and/or recharge. It can be solar, hydro, coal, etc. So, not necessarily gas. Yet, that doesn't stop me from correcting your impression about IMO GAS DEPOSIT. Imo state is not the only state with the deposit eventhough she has the largest. The same LAGOS has a good deposit in the Benin basin and not only LASGIDI but OGUN and ONDO too so they may not need to install any underground pipes to IMO afterall. Having said that, there are already underground gas pipes from NIGER-DELTA to LAGOS enroute some AFRICAN countries and the latest one connecting EUROPE. Again, the state may not need new connection afterall.
Lastly, I told you I was being generous with the whooping cost I predicted the ABIA GEOMETRIC PLANT GULPED. Even the massive 700MW Zungeru plant cost a total $1.2b. And remember, latter's capacity is almost 4 times the strenght of the former. But since energy source and terrain determine cost and duration of construction, I won't cut down on my $500m assessment.

For political and electoral benefits, nothing more. Not for the masses.

Okay.

Sladem05:


You’re absolutely high. You’re going to compare Meta a company that is richer than all of Africa combined to Dangote? Nigerians have a serious ego problem. Facebook, Instagram are trillion dollar companies.

Who is comparing worth of products Mark, Bezos, Gates etc have in the market against Dangote's？ I ain't that crazy so go back to my post and read with clear mind. What I insinuated was that Dangote,had number of individual products he has invested in than those people listed eventhough a product of each of them may be worth more than all Dangote products put together.
I made that assertion in correction of the impression of a poster who believed Dangote don't invest in more fields like Mark.

quote author=Kay25 post=129349790]Make i laff those igbos wey dey say Yorubas are cowards nna ennn see life na only business u sabi we wey sabi book na him u dey reward we wey sabi book na him dey make ur business go forward..igbos cry me a well u can't do without Yorubas no u can't

If you're taunting the Yoruba with the few mention you had there, I guess it's time you put on your glasses, hit the library and deepen your research. There are plentiful of people of Yoruba descent who are doing vibrantly well in different fields across the world. And as for LAGOS, Nigeria met her and inherited her as one of the most economically viable and popular state, not just against any part of Nigeria, but across Africa continent. No Nigerian state was any close, pre, during and post colonial era. Cut off your sentiment beclouding your judgement and see the world for what it's. Lagos doesn't attain success because of any Nigerian factor, rather Nigeria inherited a successful state that's proven resiliently hard to beat even with the capital （the factor you've all h@tefully and wrongly proclaimed helped her growth）moved away to another place THAT'S STILL STRUGGLING TO BETTER THE PREDECESSOR DECADES THEREAFTER.

rinzaugustine:
Secret of Igbo success …igbos are results oriented and behave like white Americans once they see you know what you are doing they promote you to highest level to maximize best results unlike some people that will promote tribalism to the extent that it will harm their life, ruin their generations and stunt their generational progress. Imagine shamelessly supporting an incompetent man like tinubu because of tribalism to lead a complex country like Nigeria. He has gone on to destroy our electoral system, judiciary, security, economy and every little good thing about Nigeria and you will find out that tribalism , awalokan, Emilokan and all forms of sectionalism are synonymous with backwardness and generational poverty. Look around you at the lives of people who practice it and see if that is what you would want your life to be like

What about thousands of businesses or SMEs owned by the Yoruba or other tribes, and which have not just employed the Igbos but have them in commanding or juicy positions in the same Lagos？ What manner of tribalism can we call that？ Or do all your belief hinged on the fact that no Yoruba investment employs Igbos let alone putting them in position worth their level of expertise？ Are you insinuating that all they employ your people for （if they employ them at all according to your assertion） are cleaners, office assistants, etc job？
My friend, you're not in the corporate circle else you'd have known better. Or perhaps, you're staying in one Alaigbo enclave to spew n0nsense in promotion of your bigotry and inate h@te for a certain tribe.

Good

The governor should be careful the attention he is giving this people lest every TOM, DICK and HARRY expect compensation from LASG for every irrelivant things performed.

Imagine that!
