Look at this arrogant fool who doesn't understand that the number of ministerial positions for a region is not dependent on the number of votes from that region. The constitution of Nigeria guarantees that each region gets their due.
Mr Buhari thinks that he owns Nigeria. Nigerians are free to vote who they want. I am even surprised that you got that much votes from my region. If you run in 2019, we still will not vote for you.
I feel ashamed that this bigot is President of Nigeria.

fashrola:
We have rubber, silicon, gold, copper etc

These are raw materials for some of the components. They are not the components. You need companies, different from the phone manufacturers, to use these raw materials to produce the components needed to manufacture the phones. These components include the memory chips (ram and rom), storage cards, the screens etc; just to give you an idea what they mean by components.
For example, the silicon you mentioned is used to make transistor. Then the transistors are used to make integrated circuits. Then the integrated circuits are used to make the memory chips and cards.
There are no such companies in Nigeria right now. We need to invest massively in technical education.

Acidosis:
They expect Samsung to open a silicon mining firm in Nigeria, revive Ajaokuta steel firm, launch an iron ore and aluminum industry, revive PHCN etc.. All in the name of manufacturing phones in the country.

If global companies reason in that manner, none will survive the first year of business operations.

The way Nigerians reason baffles me a lot. It is clear we don't even have the human resources. So I guess Samsung will end up building new schools in the name of producing phones in the damn country where minimum wage stands at #18,000. Phones that majority can't even afford.


Anyone that picks offence on seeing this glaring facts about Nigeria should have his/her head checked. Let me remind us all that Nigeria has one of the worst power supply/generation in the whole world.

Yep. The way we think is exactly why we have not made progress as a country.

how many of the components does south Korea have?

'congo and Senegal are closer to Nigeria than Korea ....v

read between the lines ....Nissan and most car producing company import their ore from Australia ... bottom line is Samsung can set up your company anywhere and bring In the materials needed....
it's just like saying, cos u dont av fossil fuel, u cant have cars....

comprehende?....


it's very simple

Nissan and other car manufacturers do not import or need to import iron ore for their flat steel requirements. There are steel companies that do that. Nissan then buys from them. That way Nissan can concentrate on designing good cars.

galadima77:
Only Lord knows the quantity of tantalum that found their way to these guys/companies via the back door, no thanks to the artisanal and illegal miners. Please note that Nigeria also has occurances of this mineral in significant quantities. I'm a geologist and from Niger state so it's what I've encountered here in Niger. Thus the poo that guy is spewing may have other reasons but the non-availability of the over 400 components' raw material is a fat lie!!!

the guy below has valid points too

I thought the article said 400 components, not raw materials for the 400 components. To manufacture their handsets, Samsung or any other company do not have to manufacture the components. They buy the components from the components manufacturers.

hostkobo:
It is nice to be patriotic, however patriotism cannot be in a vacuum.

How many of you can name 20-electronic components needed in the manufacture of a mobile phone?

Ok, forget mobile phones. How about small FM radios?

is there any company in Nigeria that MANUFACTURES FM-radios. I said MANUFACTURE, not assemble. Assemble is when you buy all the parts from Japan and China, ship them in, and somewhere in Nigeria, you couple it together the same way some computer desktops are done.

Is there any company in Nigeria that manufactures industry standard electronic components such as resistors, inductors, capacitors, transistors, logic gates/circuits, etc. By industry standard, I mean industry standard that can be exported out of Nigeria.

If the above answer is NO, is there any manufacturing company in Nigeria that is provided with 24hour electricity?

Even if the CEO was a selfish person, we have given him more reasons to be selfish. If Nigeria could have 24-hours uninterrupted electricity, I bet you thousands of international companies will relocate. Nigeria is just a small picture, consider Africa

A clarification is in order here. The manufacturers of gadgets don't necessarily have to manufacture their components. Almost all the big name manufacturers have to buy their components from other sources. They have to design their gadgets though.

talk2ekpa:
What an insult Mr. Sung Yoon. So, human resources and capital is not part of components needed for manufacturing a mobile phone abi, or Nigeria does not have that too...

You need skilled human resources and of course we don't have that.

tdayof:
This news sound so fake. Samsung gains nothing by setting up a manufacturing firm here in Nigeria.

Being in the telecommunication manufacturing sector, I can tell you Nigeria produces components which are also be in used to produce mobile phones. Your fact about Nigeria producing none is a bogus claim and nothing but false.

It's either this story is fake or Samsung Samsung CEO is not informed.

80% of the South African market share can be smaller than 5% of the Nigerian market share.

Which companies are producing which components for mobile phones in Nigeria? Who are they selling to?

Acidosis:
There's no vast patronage anywhere. 9 out of 10 Nigerians don't use Samsung phones. In fact, majority of the users got fairly used products from UK/US and computer village.

Don't mind them. We just have this bogus, inflated view of our country. They think it's just about population. Nigerians find it difficult to accept that we are a poor country.

delugajackson:
At least we can manufacture toothpicks and export yams. I think that's a plus.

The toothpicks I see are made in China.

teamsynergy:
that's a lame excuse.... tantalum is in Congo and has been discovered in commercial quantity in Senegal ....so.... it our gov't policies that are very weak... they can set up a plant here and have their own ipp

Tantalum in Congo, and Senegal? First, Congo and Senegal are not Nigeria. Second, he said 400 components.

DeKen:
Heat no go kill am?

Heat? In Iceland? Or heat inside fully air conditioned plane? It's like asking if cold will not kill somebody in Nigeria.

dragunov:
What I don't like about you igbos is the propensity to parrot or echo expressions that originate from others and make a big meal out of these expressions. You were making sense when you suddenly veered into parroting an expression made popular by Trump and expressly condemned by the world. Must you always parrot?

And you think that the industrious Igbos care that one lazy miscreant don't like them.

Get a lawyer and sue them.

Good. We might have a decent alternative to PDP and APC in 2019.

Amarabae:
None of my business.
You joined forces with them in 1967.
pls enjoy the romance and stop disturbing us.

Yep. They messed up big time. They have been acting like fools, allowing themselves to be used (and dumped) by the North. I hope they have learnt their lesson.
Having said that, what is happening to Benue State is very much our business, more so if you are from the Southeast. If these Fulani terrorists are allowed to take over Benue State, then their next target will be the SE. So we need to support our Benue neighbors.

Meti99:
Tinubu did not condemn this killings, he is still been political with his statements..

He is still an anti peace in nigeria

He is scared. He didn't make any sense.

Great. Way to go. Audu Ogbe and Buhari should use their houses for the cattle colonies.

2019 is shaping up to be an interesting year, with a lot of capable potential presidential candidates. Great.

Powerful preacher. We need to let Buhari know that Nigeria is not the personal property of the Fulani. He actually deserves to be impeached. The DSS should mind their business. The pastor is only telling well meaning Nigerians to vote out Buhari in 2019. Not a crime at all.

Bunch of morons. They have probably been paid.

CaptainJeffry:
I was expecting to hear something reasonable but I was disappointed and I immediately knew this lady just arrived yankee.

Working in a storage house with a minimum wage of $8 per hour, such rant is expected from her.

Yep. And you that has been their for 50 years and earning $500/hr at Google, why don't you show us your own video about the great time you are having in order to encourage us all to move to US.
Nigerians should look inwards and develop themselves and their country. It's not necessarily better for Nigerians who move. A lot of misinformation out there. That's the bottom line of the message. And it's in order.

henryduru2:
Redmi 4x I can sell mine to u for 47k just one week old

Why do you want to sell after just one week?

Joshmodest:
to be sincere initially I didn't read to know it was.d bride sueing her...but Mercy must have incited the arrest of d tailor one way or the other, cos she spoke about contacting the bride as well as speaking to her own lawyers on Instagram sometime last week...she must have encouraged d bride to take legal action..cos d bride didn't seem interested before..it's almost 15 days since Mercy's birthday na...

Geez. Did the article say that the tailor was arrested, or did you read that somewhere else? This is a letter from the bride's lawyers, putting the tailor on notice that she would be sued for breach of contract. To avoid being sued, they want her to reach out to them and offer the bride something acceptable to her: Refund and monetary compensation and apology.

You are a fool and a fraudster. Just go and confess to your mom as soon as she comes back from work. She will still find out as soon as she goes to the bank to complain. Prepare your mind to bear the consequences of your stealing from your mom.
Turn a new leaf and stay away from gambling.

Great. SE, SW, Benue State have voiced their opposition to the evil plan of Buhari. SS and other States in the Middlebelt need to speak up unless they are in support.

sarrki:
Truly ozehkome lost it

He was lived by all and sundry


But sided with corrupt politicians

See who is talking about somebody losing it.

obailala:
The exact same act of slothfulness and unforgivable criminal nonchalance which earned GEJ the boot in 2015, Buhari is currently swimming in the exact same pool.

You can call Jonathan's case, nonchalance (and incompetence). In Buhari's case, as far as the Fulani herdsmen are concerned, I sense a deliberate and coordinated act. You should observe that the military and police are used to provide cover for the attackers.

mjabdulk:
the war between fulanis and non fulanis will continue to be reciprocal if the non fulanis continue to kill the fulanis , destroy their properties and setting their houses ablazed. let their a provided grazing lands for them because they are nigerians too.

Are they Nigerians now?

Solorrman:
one big haters of islam,u know ur name ? we exceptionally call u kafiri that is infidel,u are worse than idol worshipper but indeed we heard abt u in a long time. The justification of killing fulani as nothing u claimed is a clear bias and hatred to promote tension in the state of the country just bkos u hate buhari,secondly the caliphate u talked abt is a better way of life than ur obvious wrong christianity way where u only worship a man that have penix and anus as a god,to my understanding any person that failed to realized a God must be pure and capable is a mad man and just supressung truth just bkos he find his parent on the path,jesus christ and his followers have no ground to curse or insult islam bkos he lacked the features that comprises an entity God but the moment God become as a man with penix and blossom anus just like ur garri egba anus then i will say sorry to u as i pity ur senses following a man that can even get tied as mentioned in ur scriptures full of doubt and differences. I never read replies in case u try to do that but remember i am one of the northern illitrates as u can see how i use my wordens i hope u can read and understand the jargons

Looks like he touched a raw nerve by leaking your secret agenda. You and your Buhari should keep your cattle colonies to yourselves.

TheFreeOne, thanks for posting the very informative article on Buhari's evil plan for Fulani cattle colonies.
Does anyone have the list of the 16 States that supposedly have donated land to him? I hope that no SE State Governor is stupid enough to give. That would spell political suicide for that Governor.

kessiah:
So is ortom telling us that he cannot meet the president or the vice in person, been the are in the same party to discuss the security situation of his state? He is indeed a failure and weak in protecting his people

He met them, of course.
