That's why they support everything the evil devilish government does. To them it's all about interests and nothing to do with humanity. That want the status quo to continue.
Why can't we process our cocoa like other African countries like Ghana do? Any country that only exports raw materials is doomed.

The number of people who don't know that colonialism never ended is disturbing, even more disturbing than the people who believe all the audio achievements and propaganda which this APC government is using to program them for 2027.

This is exactly what I said yesterday when someone was doubting me. I told him colonialism never ended that it simply went underground and that the British empire still runs things albeit codedly behind the scenes.
Why do you think they are always the first to applaud every controversial election we have ever held as free and fair? It's all done to protect their interests.

Everytime I see Oseni pictures, I see a very rude, brat and eerily confrontational journalist who hides under the guise of his job description to exhibit his character

It's not about character. The guy is just pure smartness.

His strategy is simple. He knows he lacks competence in almost every area of life. But he has also noticed that the average Nigerian youth is also clueless too. He has decided to make them his target market.

And they are so oooo freaking plenty. So, it's a smart business move on his part.

It would not work in an advanced society. Everyone will see right through it, as industry experts, especially in the academia would quickly challenge him in any field he talks about. Na their own way be that.

Nigeria is their biggest clients for scam. They can't leave never soon

Crude market is highly competitive now, we should be happy to still have willing buyers, they are not forcing us to sell, are they?

When you understand what a trade imbalance is, I will tag you. Until then, any further discussion will only be a waste of time

It’s cute that you think the organ you carry around in your head is too advanced to enlighten another human.
What does what Rufai posted have to do with trade imbalance?
I didn’t even tag you in the first place but you were eager to show the world how shallow you analyze issues before commenting on them.

Wonderment.

I have long giveup on the average Nigerian and their thinking ability

Both the Rufai and mist commenters here are the reasin Nigeria is a 3rd world country.

No country can develop above tge average IQ of its citizens.

See analysis

Oil & Gas (72%)
• Nigeria ships 1.6 million barrels/day to Europe
• 2025 avg. Brent price: $78/barrel
• €36.2 bn cash straight to EU energy giants (Shell, Total, Eni, BP)

How is this straight cash to EU energy gaints.

When the Federal government through NNPC owns about 45 to 50% of all oil production facilities or field, the Oil companies pay royalties and tax.

. Cocoa, Sesame, Leather (18%)
• EU buys €8.1 bn of Nigerian farm & raw materials
• Germany alone takes €2.4 bn cocoa beans

Is importing goods from Nigeria now a crime done by EU?

But these things are paid for.
You sell to them and they pay in forex.
Trade is mutually beneficial.
I don't understand what the lamentations are about.

That you cannot use your earnings to improve your lives is absolutely up to you.

Japan is the fourth largest economy in the world, was second for decades. This is an island nation a third the size of Nigeria by land mass and in which half that area is mountainous and unusable.

It has practically no raw materials but enough volcanic and seismic activity to sharpen the mentality of it's people to the fact that they are on their own and have to survive by how they think and what they are able todo with their hands.

In addition they have fought and lost a war, the only country so far in history to have been nuked, yet they have not sat back and lashed out against our nations in spite or retribution. Today they are the primary champions of peace round the world.

What exactly is Africa's problem and this endless victim mentality.

This is a mentality completely lost on

Well said.

Most Nigerians are irredeemable.

They claim that they are smart and intelligent but all na wash.

Since Nigeria has resources that it can't use well EU will help you use it. Is America the reason why NIGERIA'S resources are USELESS to NIGERIANS?

America must defeat Islamic terrorists in Nigeria by fire by force whether terrorist sympathisers like it or not.

The objective is to eliminate terrorists. Its not about attacking Nigeria in general. They won't be targeting your house. Are we better off with bandits and other terror groups overrunning the country? Should we continue like this instead?
