Trying to explain Nigeria Oil and Lagos well being is misplaced priority.

Why you dey sound like this, come dey put mouth for things wey no concern you o. so are you saying if Nigerdelta had kept all the proceeds of their natural resources your mother would be living in Warri by now. Nigerian people don show Nigerdelta people pepper.
Or are you implying Nigeria is a destiny destroyer of oil and gas bearing communities?

Of course, the likes of Shell have been exploiting crude oil in Nigeria before independence, pumped it in vessels and shipped abroad. Only giving tokens to Nigerian Government in form of royalties and taxes. More unfortunately, the Military Governments even empowered them the more as long as they were oiling their deep pockets privately. One of such military government was Abacha under which a certain fraud from Agulu served as a boi boi, he benefitted from the corrupt military government. Today, he is telling his gullible supporters a new Nigeria is possible.
Thankfully, we now have a President who has the love of the country at heart and is now repositioning the fortunes of the country's oil sector. In line with Akon's evaluation, Tinubu has been supporting local investors to take over the oil sector and keep it running. Under Tinubu, three big local oil companies have acquired some offshore assets of some major international oil companies like Shell and ExxonMobil. A local consortium company has also bought some. Tinubu is trying to make sure the oil money is largely retained within the country. The masters stroke is the new policy of allocating oil wells to local refiners like Dangote to directly drill and pump his oil to his refinery. Also important is the policy of buying crude oil in naira rather than dollars.
These are some of the reasons why Trump is talking of invading Nigeria.

They see a rising black COLOSSUS, and they're alarmed and confused.

One sure way also is for the govt to clear away all agberoes and area boys.

Putin in D ..... grin
The agberos and area boys everywhere in the country are their "unknown soldiers"... Their eyes and ears in the streets

They won't clean that themselves. I tell you brother, they need help to vawulently clear the streets. Help they will resent but, if I have the means, I'll help them anyways.

U are deliberately trying to mislead d public for some small data tips or u are totally a mischievous fellow blinded by ethnic ism,of which I am a leader and clan

Which oil does Lagos have that Akon is talking about keeping the proceeds for its development?

The ones they milked from states that are producing it and dumped into Lagos is still the reason they are always crying for one Nigeria up and down without anything else to back their reason. Could Lagos have survived without the oil from other states?
Akon should know where the oil is coming from and advise for its use there and not some leeching states

That is why Britain loves the country the way it is. An underdeveloped cesspit run by criminals and sons of devils with very daft citizens who don't even bother to ask questions.

It’s never too late. Nigeria still has many other untapped resources although with AI specifically, Nigeria can leapfrog its receding economy and turn it into a multi trillion dollar economy in a few short years. It’s going to be the source of economic transformation for serious nations. How serious is Nigeria?

Let's assume that your house was bungled and everything you ever owned was stolen. There is also this shady character that is your neighbor but you know for sure he wasn't the one.

But when he had what happened to you he came to sympathize with you and offer a possible explanation or solution to what has happened to you. Will you shut him down and tell him to go and explain his previous misdeeds rather than sympathizing with you?
