Nothing concerns britain as long as their economic interests in nigeria is well secured by tinibu they don't give a damn what ordinary nigerians are currently going through.

You will wait till eternity. You must be young and have never experienced the military regime. If not, you wouldnt refer to BAT as a dictatɔr. Either that, or you think it's a buzz word and have no idea what it means.

Is Ramaphosa a Nigerian President?
MrUnitedstatesA:
He gave Ramaphosa of South Africa this honour in 2022 grin, the owl lovers are here celebrating as if it's something new or it indicates that the certificate forger has done something Africa had never seen before . We shouldn't be playing second fiddle to any country in Africa with the amount of oil and wealth we have. Our population is 5 times that of South Africa which should signify strength and an abundance of human resources. But we are led by criminals and druglords and kings who are ex-cons,now we celebrate any second or third place even fifth . What an embarrassment by the useless APC and it's followers. A whole giant?

NIGERIA IS THE NEW BRIDE OF THE WORLD.

Every other country is positioning itself to be part of the Great Rise of Nigeria.

First state visit to UK in 37 years.

Can you imagine?

It's almost as if they'd completely given up on the country before seeing that ''Oh, so they even have some seriousness in them with this Tinubu of a man and his genuine reform policies? We better get back in!''

If you go on AI ChatGPT and tell it ''describe Nigeria in 2050'', you'll be wondering if it's this same Nigeria it's talking about.

If you push it to 2070, it's more or less describing heaven on earth.

If you have a business you want to start, in order to build generational wealth, there's no better time to start than now, however small.

In the next 3 to 5 years, you won't believe where you are.

THIS ECONOMY is headed in ONE DIRECTION ONLY for the forseeable future.

Up.
Nice write-up brotherly. Nigeria will be great again. Lagbara Oluwa.

What a foolish question. He is a leader of an African country that should be the position of Nigeria in global affairs. You cannot have any serious gathering of global leaders and he is not there what of your owl ?Nigeria should be playing a bigger role in global politics than small South Africa
Re: King Charles To Host Nigeria's First UK State Visit In 37 Years by MrUnitedstatesA: 8:53am On Feb 08
Ihaveleftnaija:
Mr , South Africa is a multi-racial country and a high middle income country and it has millions of indigenous English population who have been living there since the 1800s. So South Africa is a very different African country hence it gets a different treatment globally, that's why they are also heavily criticized when they fail to live up to expectation whilst other African countries who fail or elect dictators ,no one says a thing , the country is held on a different standard in the eyes of those outside Africa. So it's foolish to realistically compare SA and Nigeria on the global stage. Nigeria is the biggest black nation in the world,and that's our advantage and I like that Tinubu is using that wisely these days. We need to use our population as leverage sameway South Africa uses her multi-racislism as leverage. Let's stop whining about what we don't have and use what we have fully and effectively. We are more likely to be seen as an example by most of Africa than South Africa because we have similar demographics,challenges and history to the rest of the continent unlike the south Africans who seem more different and strange to the rest of the continent because their own story is very different and most can't relate. We must use this to win.

Big up Naija. The giant is waking up.
😂😂 Oga abeg rest.

So now population don turn leverage? Since when census dey win respect for Buckingham Palace? If na plenty people dey give global weight, India for be landlord of the world by now—yet dem still dey struggle with basic dignity sometimes. Make we be serious small.

You say South Africa is “different” because multiracial and English-speaking since 1800s — bros, that’s exactly the point you’re dodging. Difference no fall from heaven. It came from institutions, order, and consequences, not motivational speeches. Nobody is grading countries with “blackest nation” ruler. The world responds to credibility, not vibes.

And abeg stop this coping mechanism of “they’re held to higher standards.” South Africa is criticised because they once delivered something. Nigeria is ignored because expectations have been buried with NEPA transformers since 1985. If you constantly fail, people stop shouting — dem just move on.

Tinubu going to meet King Charles is not awakening of any giant. Na basic diplomacy we dey package like Champions League trophy. 37 years later we dey shout “big up Naija” like say we just landed on Mars. Meanwhile:

currency dey free-fall

refineries still PowerPoint

bandits dey collect toll like FIRS

leaders dey form royalty

You say “let’s stop whining and use what we have.” Bros we have oil, have people, have brains — what we don’t have is leadership that isn’t allergic to accountability. Until that one land, population na just plenty mouths, not power.

Giant waking up ke?
My brother, giant dey stretch, yawn, press snooze, then go back to sleep 😴

No hard feelings o.
Na reality check.

Things are really going awry for the obidients -cum-obidafts.
While the heavens are not smiling at they, they are beaming their gracious lights of mercy on Asiwaju Tinubu and his people.

Obidients evil plans to rig the elections through the fragile e-transmission of results thwarted.

Multinationals are rushing back to invest in Nigeria.

UAE is practically begging to invest their dollars in Nigeria.

Tinubu's travels and reforms are yielding positive results.

They global business experts are seeing from a distance, what the hating mob at home chose to be blind to see.

Trump has become Tinubu's chum

And now, the Royals have also seen the rising star in Nigeria, an Awolowo incarnate, Jagaban of Burgu !
They willingly chose to befriend Tinubu by inviting him and his pretty wife without him asking for it.
After 37 years.
What does this mean ?
It means they have just recognised a president worth his salt in Nigeria.

My advice to obidients - since you have sworn to hate those whom the Lord loves, get empty drums ready to contain your tears because once you begin to fall before Tinubu, there can be no respite for you

The UK don dey fear of losing their farmland Nigeria... But it is glaring that they have done more harm than good to Nigeria... They pioneered the genocide in 1967-1970 to wipe out God's own tribe... The lost tribe of Israel in the eastern part of Nigeria. This tribe lost over 3 million of their families during the full blown war only in the region (BIAFRA LAND) that lasted for 3 years. UK is just buying more time for themselves but Nigeria is about to breakup. For those from this region, you will sleep in Nigeria and wake up in BIAFRA



LegendHero:
King Charles III and Queen Camilla will host Nigeria's president in the country's first state visit to the UK in 37 years, Buckingham Palace has announced.

Bola Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu have accepted an invitation to be guests of the King at Windsor Castle from 18 to 19 March.

President BAT is doing well, he will be re-elected in a free an fair election come 2027 as was done in 2023.The opposition ADC has nothing to offer this country. Baba A who should be a statesman wants to drag tickets with PO and RCA who are the only people that make sense in that coalition.

It's not easy, my brother..

The entire world is shocked. See Chevron that was fleeing Nigeria the other day now rushing back to say they want to invest $20 BILLION in new fields.. Not even 4 or 5 billion to test. 20 BILLION DOLLARS.

Then China has said it will inject another $25 BILLION in the new Ogidigben Gas City/Industrial Park in Delta state.


AI Review:

1.....Ogidigben Gas Revolution Industrial Park (GRIP) — large gas-industrial hub

Nigeria has proposed and begun work on a major Gas Revolution Industrial City / Industrial Park at Ogidigben in Delta State.

This project focuses on developing an integrated gas-based industrial complex with gas processing, power generation, fertilisers, petrochemicals, LNG, methanol, aluminium smelting and related industries, designed to add value to Nigeria’s gas rather than simply export raw gas.

The estimated investment has been reported around $20 billion in partnerships between Nigerian interests and international firms (including China National Chemical Engineering International Corporation — CNCEC).

This Ogidigben GRIP project is often described as “Africa’s largest Gas City” in planning documents and industry commentary.


2..... $25 billion gas pipeline projects tied to export infrastructure

Instead of a standalone Gas City project, another $25 billion investment figure is tied to Nigeria’s energy export plans:

Nigeria is pursuing a $25 billion West African gas pipeline — the Nigeria–Morocco Gas Pipeline (NMGP) — expected to span roughly 5,000–6,000 km across 13 countries, carrying natural gas from Nigeria’s Niger Delta toward Europe via the Maghreb-Europe pipeline system.

This initiative is envisioned as both an export infrastructure project and a regional energy integration corridor benefiting West African states.

Discussions and investment calls for this pipeline (including undersea sections) often quote a $25 billion cost.
And UAE just announced tens of billions of investment in Nigeria in next few years. Things are looking up for Nigeria.

Everybody just they rush Nigeria. The rest of the world are surprised at how we’ve been able to flatten the curve and turn around our extremely bad economic situation of 2023 around to now become one of the top ten contributors to global GDP growth in 2026.

Even Donald Trump who was an adversary just a few months ago is now going about rooting for Nigeria. Multiple international corporations are all announcing plans to invest billions in Nigeria and now we are having world leaders inviting our president for state visits almost every other week.

Apart from the politically instigated insecurity, Nigeria is on a positive trajectory in all areas. We must ensure this progress in sustained and not derailed.
Indeed we have flattened the curve and we've crossed the rubicon to the glory of God. It's been my prayers that the glory of Nigeria and Nigerians shall return during the tenure of Bola Tinubu and the entire world shall celebrate Nigeria like a new born baby.

I'm not from Delta but I'm so glad about the gas pipeline project. This is equal to the magnitude of Dangote Refinery. $25B is huge.
I believe that Asiwaju will start to establish gigantic projects like this in the SE in his second term since almost all the States in the region are in the APC and coupled with the fact that he has a very reliable friend and ally in Mrs Ojukwu and Soludo.
Congratulations Delta.
