You're deceiving yourself. How will British do turn around maintenance for installations that were installed by Russians from the onset with all units and components up till manual written in Russian language and heavily dependent and reliant on Russian engineering tech?.

Its what happens when people get overly sensational all of a sudden. Russia since USSR has been very good to Nigerians, don't lift a finger in a battle that is bigger than you.


Now to the core issue at hand. The Ajaokuta steel complex was developed by the country by the Russians from the very onset and the Russians took pre-emptive measures to ensure anything around it is done through them and them only.


Almost the entire schematics have Russian inscriptions and manuals and operators needed to be solely trained by Russians to operate them


Secondly, some of the core operational resources used in the production chain line can only be supplied by Russia. No other nation on earth has these highly specialized resources and components

Hence, nothing can be done to Ajaokuta steel complex without the Russians.


Why then has it been made useless for over two decades without use as other like steel industrial complexes.

Here lies what the whites are not telling you guys. British and Russians alike. I know these well hidden truths first hand, cause as a genius with 160+ IQ, I'm privy to highly classified information across these complex issues. Saying this humbly. Though



To make any nation great, one doesn't need politicos, lack of corruption like APC and PDP have both been throwing banters for years


To make any nation great, a nation needs key things like :

Highly operational chemical industrial completed, highly optimized metal refining and processing complex which ranks as the core bedrock of all forms of heavy productivity and industrialization.


So, here's the bane of the matter, take away any nations ability to heavily produce,refine nd process metals and such a nation becomes useless. I dare to say it anywhere



Mind you guys, between 2001 and today over $60 Billion has been spent on revamping the steel complex in batches of $2- $20 Billion for every time it hits the news that repairs are been done.


Guess what guys, it takes average of $15-20 Billion dollars to build a modern one


Same strategy to make the oil and gas industry useless is what's playing here to. The oligarchist and the deliberate desire to keep the nation under developed is the motive behind this.


Who knows if Dangote will also spot this opportunity.

To read through this thread is to witness the recapitulation of all of the nonsensical development ideas which have led Nigeria to remain a Third World cesspool while many of its former peers have joined the ranks of developed nations: inane conspiracy theories about "the West" plotting against Nigeria for some unspecified reason or other, insistence on the "essential" nature of what is a commodity in the age of machine learning and biotech, vehement appeals to "infant industry" arguments which have never shown any success in all of Nigeria's history, appeals to tribalism and insistence that Ajaokuta would have been a roaring success if only the "right" people (aka their "kinsmen" ) were left in charge, even pompous boasting about a supposed 160+ IQ from someone who clearly couldn't reason his way out of a paper bag!

As far as I can see, only one contributor to the entire thread clearly sees Ajaokuta for what it is: a ridiculous white elephant project which was already obsolete and uncompetitive when it was being initially built by Shagari, let alone today when Chinese operators are flooding international markets with steel at prices no one can compete with - not even the Americans, the South Koreans and the Japanese, let alone a third-rate country like Russia whose sole remaining exports are raw materials like oil, gas and manganese. Pouring more money down the black hole that is Ajaokuta in the name of "development" is the most pointless and ridiculous policy any government could follow, as would be obvious to anyone who understood what the "sunk cost fallacy" means.

The belief that manufacturing has some sort of sacred role that justifies diverting scarce funds to, at the expense of essentials like reducing infant mortality, providing clean drinking water, and ensuring everyone can get a quality free primary through JSS education, is at the foundation of much that has gone wrong in Nigerian history, even leaving aside all the rampant corruption. This pathetic superstition is what has given birth to Dangote's monopolies that double the price of housing for every Nigerian, it's what has led to rampant smuggling of adulterated food products and drugs that kill vast numbers every year, it's why oil bunkering and "refining" have ruined the Niger Delta with pollution, and it's why "herdsmen" can hold a nation to ransom in the name of more expensive and vastly inferior beef to what could be imported from Argentina and the USA. One would think after 62 years of failed protectionism and import-substition policies, Nigerians would have started to know better, but threads like this are a real eye-opener in that regard. Nigerian history in a nutshell: largely stupid masses go along with largely stupid policies of largely stupid leaders, then act astonished when the results of their stupidity are further failure and impoverishment!

You condemn another's POV to hype yours. Why not blame me.for Nigeria's historical problems na. Mtchew

omohayek:

Unlike you, I don't "hype" myself by making bogus claims about my IQ, I merely point out harsh realities which ought to be obvious to any reasonably intelligent educated person. No one forced you to spew verbose gibberish making yourself out to be some sort of "genius", even though you display no understand of rudimentary economic principles.

DoctorOlasDesk:



That is why inspire of your lengthy gibberish, you couldn't help a fool gain more insights cause you said absolutely nothing. Empty drum.

Jesus said about Himself someone greater than Solomon is here, it wasn't recorded as sin against him.


You can hurt yourself on my account.

Good day

This is first time Buhari used his reasoning faculty to the fullest and adequately well,Buhari knows the volumes of aids flowing from Britian and US he wouldn't like to line up with few league of nations which are partially in support of Russia and rejecting the recent call by US for solidarity of African nations against Russia.

I know you guys exist for banter and would reduce anyone and anything to empty banters.


One quick question, why has all turn around maintenance operations since two decades not get the complex operational even for an hour. Answer the question
