Certainly...

It will dawn on them totally...

There needs to be a very pivotal reset.

These irritants used NADECO to set this country on fire. Most of Nigerias image damage happened during the time of NADECO. Soyinka, Beko, Falana, Tinubu , Abiola, Adesanya, Ige, all of them were jumping from one CNN office to another BBC interview, relentlessly calling for all sorts of sanctions and actions against Nigeria because power was not given to them. Now they have power and they have become the most brutal, the most anti people and the most anti democracy regime in Nigerias history. Everything is all about sectionalism and ethnic profiling to them. Looting shamelessly and persistently..

Make Tinubu finish first,.

Tinubu is a disgrace to commonsense.

Same way you have been restless about the name called Bola Tinubu

Venezuela is a disgrace.
Re: Top 15 Countries With The Largest Oil Reserves In Billions Of Barrels by Charlie2020(f): 9:02am On Aug 26, 2025
Yet Venezuelans are some of the poorest in the world due to corruption and poor management of their resources

Nigeria is not even top 10 and some people wants us to compete with these ones despite our huge population
. Switzerland has zero oil reserve but is far better managed and richer than your Nigeria and some of the listed countries

Venezuela and Saudi Arabia are badoo when it comes to oil reserves, yet Venezuela is not doing well compared to Saudi Arabia.

Resource without proper management is a curse to the citizens
Venezuela crude oil is called heavy crude or sour crude oil which gives problem during the refining process, hereby making it difficult for them to find buyers

Point ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ. When infrastructure is not developing with population= problem.
No one is talking about development. What we're talking about is if Nigeria is rich in terms of oil resources. It is not. Some people want to compare us with countries like Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Iraq and Iran. Non of these countries have a population above 100 million and they all have oil resources exceeding ours times 2. So , even if their governments does nothing, their countries will prosper. The only condition necessary for them is to be on the good books of the world's police

You are unexposed to international politics, Venezuela has been rendered that way not because of bad leadership but for refusing US control of their resources, even Trump just declared a $50m bounty on the head of their president like they did to Gaddafi of Libya
Mr expose, what happened to ending tthe rules to buy the US over? How long are the citizens going to play for this senseless geopolitical war? The gulf countries bent their rule to favour the US, today we all are seeing the gains.

China has at least 50 million people in poverty based on $2 per day. If the new standard of poverty is used then that number goes to 120 million. If China only relied on its oil like 9ja, that number would have been close to 500 million, in fact that in 1988 China had over 500 million people in poverty. Oil is a blessing and a curse!
