Revenue from Nigeria's oil cannot feed a nation of 100 million, talkless of 200 million people...which is why APC is running us badly...they haven't diversifed our economy at all.

Saudi and UAE produce more oil than we do, and have about 40 million and 14 million people respectively. Saudi produces ten times as much oil as we do, which is why they can live the good life. Same for UAE...three times our own.

If we want good leader, we have to vote the leader that would make us use our resources to make stuff the world needs. That is what makes a first world, advanced nation. Not living large on oyel that can run out tomorrow.

It's the people that make a nation, not the leaders. In nation building, if the people are bad, the leaders will be as well.
So who are the people that'll make the stuffs the world needs? We don't even have quality population that can invent and makes stuffs. Are you counting on people who don't do anything meaningful but want to get rich at all cost?
The only thing the government can do is invest heavily on education, discourage or even ban the teachings of non-science subjects in our schools for the next 50 years and start a concerted effort add values to our exports instead of selling it raw.

nairalanda1:
I doubt we would see a robot army yet...the tech is not fully ready.

Also the image used above are Stormtroopers from Star wars...who are actually human dressed in powersuits. Star wars does have robot armies though (as seen in the second prequel movie)

The tech is ready.

Next world war will be fought with cursors like vidoe game.

We better stop grumbling and stop hoping for the perfect moment, and wake up.

Everytime on nairaland for years, na the same ';government is bad, government is corrupt, government is killing us' , but nothing about how we go change.

With loots from Togo, Benin Republic and other francophone countries wey no Wan get sense huh?

DeOTR:
Must there be war to start with?

Yes broz, it is in human nature. There will always be war. Though, time and places might be different.

nairalanda1:
What is stopping you from going out and mobilising people so you can be a leader so U can make use of this resources

You were the one making baseless accusations on leaders not utilising resources well, not me.

The terminator age is upon us

I'm not the type that points all the fingers at the government. I hate people who do that.
All some of us need is just enabling environment to thrive.
Most people that complain won't still thrive even if everything they complain about is taken care of.
People in government have their own problems and many complaints are justified, but most people that criticize them do worse if given the same opportunity as the leader. That's why I said our problem in this country is our people. I've seen enough reasons to believe this.

[/quote](Don;t compare us to Saudi and UAE. The day the oil runs out in those countries, we go know what's up)[/quote]Those Arab countries already know they are f@#%ked the day their oil runs out. That's why they are taking great pain now to develop their real estate, tourism, aviation and many other industries as a back up for when that day comes.

Whilst we are still here arguing over which tribe should become president next instead of focusing on what our back up plan will be when our own oil runs out. We still haven't been able to fully industrialize, manufacture or produce anything meaningful for export after 60 years of independence, producing robots for our army is a very long thing.

Druggie has been feeding their people with his heroin for them to think such is possible, his hard drugs make them think abnormally. Spits

But when I tell you guys how to get to that enabling environment...most of you call me agbado, government supporter, mr tax people, etc.

We cannot have good anemities without paying the price for those anemities. Anything else basically ends with us taking even more loans that would eventually bite us badly.

You do not have to support government to believe that.

And you are ending your comment with grumbling. It's easy to grumble...I even do it on this site well well...but when it is time to propound solutuons, all I see is more grumbling.

All i just say is simple...manufactured goods and services.

Thanks for the abuse, and good morning.

So how you expect the people to change by themselves? By forming WhatsApp group or mass society?
Bro. It is the government that would coerce the populace through reasonable policies, programmes and laws.
It takes a man with Balls to do that. Imagine, how Bokoharam and bandits are treated
Repented bandits?!

So, I blame the people in government for their continued failure in achieving anything reasonably for the masses to have radical change in attitude too.

In conclusion, we are bunch of jokers In this country.

Where did U see abuse in my write up.

Have you ever heard about comparative advantage.

Why should a government be involved in manufacturing,
If the indices are right and policies are one of the least variables in the indices then manufacturing will be done here

The earlier Nigerians realise that thiers is a very poor country, and limit Thier expectations to reality better for them.

But you are here grumbling.

Because it is easy to do. IN my years on the site, I note that most people either grumble or praise the government. When the tables change...

Yeah, you behave childishly and refuse to own up to your abusiveness

Grow up, and have a good day.

dawnomike:
Interesting... It will help prevent the death of human soldiers in times of war!

My concern is what these massive could be capable of...

make robots no overpower man begin activate nuclear weapons anyhow oh

nairalanda1:


You guys will be comparing yourself to developed nations, yet when people tell you what them developed nations did to be developed, you will start complaining and deflecting.

Even the boreholes we dig, the truth is, we could pipe water to every house in Nigeria, but the maintenance cost...paid in form of monthly water bills...you guys will start screaming poverty. Boreholes are far cheaper to build and maintain..lol.

As for why we don't have robot army...at independence, instead of focusing on building an industrial economy, we tried to build a society based on revenue from cash crops, minerals, and oil...whose prices we do not control...meaning that revenue has always been unstable, and we are chronically broke and taking loans, and fighting over who is best leader based on tribe (all our leaders are bad).

And we always blame corruption (partly true, but not the whole story) or the WHITES or IMF for our underdevelopment.

When you guys are ready to vote in leaders who will use our resources to build stuff...that we can export for cash, that is when we go see development.

(Don;t compare us to Saudi and UAE. The day the oil runs out in those countries, we go know what's up)

You took it out from my mouth bro,Wata Bam Bam

Nigerian federal and state governments should pool funds and build drone manufacturing industries across Nigeria, lethal drones is the way to deal with these terrorists from the Sahel and northern Nigeria. Deploy lethal drones across forests and borderlines of Nigeria with other nations, especially Chad, Niger republic, Burkina Faso, a lot of terrorists enter from these areas.

Who are the people in government, where did they come from,
Years ago Buhari was complaining about Obasanjos government, then Obasanjo complained about Buharis government, then both are complaining of tinubus government who complained about goodlucks government.

So who is the government and where do they people in government come from

Nice idea

We will need over 100,000 drones for that.

Who will finance it.

Do you know how much one millitaey grade drone cost

SmartPolician:
The world should get ready! Unless we use policies to limit the application of Artificial Intelligence, AI will take almost all the jobs!

In Japan, robots started performing funeral rites long ago and those who patronise their services say it's cheaper than those of Buddhist priests. If robots can perform religious rituals, what else is left?

There will be a serious riot as people will revolt. Too many people will be poor if robots tske all the jobs. Karl max talked about this. "Workers of the world rebel, you have nothing to loose but your chans". Capitalists cannot sack everyone because robots can do everything. It won't work

They sha want to end this world by force sha

You empty barrels Always loud, pessimistic and defeatist... and it will definitely show in your life, don't be a lazy youth.

Nigerian government spend trillions monthly, without benefits to the citizens, and you are there saying a drone manufacturing and training institution that investors can invest in can't be developed by a whole Nigeria...over time with adequate budget on it, it will become self sustainable because we will sell to other African nations, look at the figures being wasted by these ministers and governors before you advocate for them. We have iron ore, we have cobalt, we have most of the materials used in building these equipment...mind you building one is not as expensive as buying a finished one.
European countries doing all the fancy and great stuff we are using started from somewhere. You sound very weak and defeatist, very poor mind.

Nigeria army has turned to foreign





BODYGUARD.




china,Lebanon etc.

Godjone:
In Nigeria we are still battling to dig borehole

And we are also battling to even provide at least 12 hours electricity light everyday

Pipe dream.
From someone who has never manufactured something in his life.
You guys just talk without even thinking, who am I talking to self.
Look there is something called comparative advantage and it happened to me when I was building amplifiers as a young upcoming man.
It happened to Nigeria when we tried to close our borders to grow rice, concentrate on that which you are best in.
Building drones or electronics is not our strength, we have no advantage there.

Are they meant to kill other robots? Or meant to kill Africans, humans from developing nation's, babies (as Israel and their fool nairaland supporters do), women? Or are they to defend dictators and Western interest?

Or what are they really meant to do?

Familymatterss:
against humans in war front doesn't sound fair fight.

Wars are not intended to be fair.
In the beginning, Man fought with fists but then some saw that they were disadvantaged and decided to start using tools. And thus arms race begun. From swords, arrows and catapults to muskets and cannons to machine guns and artilleries to airplanes, submarines and nukes.
The philosophy of war is victory by any means.

No wahala. No one will blame the US this time for starting this slide into global grave danger. America has been holding back on this Pandora's box for decades.

Now resistance back home is bound to falter and their considerable military industrial complex collaborates with their top tech enterprises to create very scary stuff.

I clearly remember the local and international debates over the ehtics of pilotless military drones when they first graced the skies in the 90's. How it was immoral to kill an enemy from behind a screen and joystick

Now the world will have to come to terms with mass deaths by computer controlled mechanical devices and God help us if they are driven by AI chips.

Truly terrifying terminator stuff happening in our lifetime.

Africa is not yet developed because of corruption, if Nigeria should enact a law like China that sentences corrupt officials and politicians to death then they would use the budgeted funds for what it's mapped out
