Is this the person obedients are asking us to vote for as president?

UrVillageChief:
"China get oil?"
What is that supposed to mean mister?
So for your mind, China no get oil or what?
Who dey born these pikin troway for Nairaland sef. You're saying this about a country that's among the world's largest producers of oil. Pekele Pekele. This is how many of you often think and say the US has no oil hence the reason for their invasions of oil-producing countries

Lolz, see person wey de follow me the argue? For saying China is an oil producing country oga i don't think you reach to argue with. Good day

Smiles, this dude is high
Using textile and fabric to rival oil sector
The only thing that can come close to natural resources is talent, because the pricing is arbitrary, so a footballer or musician can be paid a ridiculous amount that is not determined by market value, same can't be said of any goods

it's far fetched.... But not totally impossible.
The value of the manufactured goods exported by Netherlands is like 5X of Nigeria's total oil revenue.
These are just manufactured goods ( 20 percent of All exported goods) , excluding machines, industrial equipment , Agricultural and other goods.
The Netherlands has a landmass of approximately our Southeast region's.
Like I Said, it's far fetched, but the possibility Is never Zero.

OlujobaSamuel:
If China no get oil, does it mean they don't have any natural resources
Use your head next time

So you too fell for the lie that China doesn't have oil?
This is why I hate arguing on this forum because it's a big waste of time to engage uninformed people.
What would I be dragging with someone who doesn't even know that China is one of the largest producers, importers and exporters of oil in the world?
One even claimed the Chinese textile industry was what helped the Chinese economy and that one too is false, what helped the Chinese economy is innovations and resilience from the citizens. The mindset of producing and producing. An average Chinese man is a producer of one thing or the other. What helped and still helping the Chinese country and people is EXPORTATION, their exportation drive is simply higher than IMPORTATION unlike Nigeria and Africa where reliance heavily outweighs production. The textile industry of China's success can be attributed to both the Government and individuals' efforts and high quest for success.
Another lamba's supporter suggested banning the importation of textiles forgetting that we used to buy a bag of rice for 7000 naira until one calamity befell Nigeria and this calamity banned the importation of rice and even gave local farmers several incentives. What serious country and economy even thinks of banning importations? Where is it done?
The ones that are saying the FG should ban importation have even forgotten that their messiah is one of the largest importers in this country🤣

How much of Anambra State money did Peter Obi invest in the Aba footwear and garment industry when he was Governor of the State?🤔

PHIPEX:
This your thinking is why many of you still.believe so much in ritual money. Rather than think of how to take advantage of this massive industry, your brain can't process it

So what has been stopping the Aba people from taking advantage of your so called massive industry and turning it into a huge money making venture bigger than our oil industry?

To their advantage, they now have 24 hrs supply of electricity, and banks are there to finance any project, so what's stopping them?

Let Mr. Obi come and tell us his perceived hindrances to this big dream he has for Aba costumes industry.

He speaks to folks who see life from the viewpoint of the emotive and clannish.

Amazing. Do you now see why Obi can't be Nigeria's President? We want brilliant people in the corridors of powers. Obi surely knows his audience
I even thought you were joking at first but just lol
So wrong, loud and arrogant🤣

mrvitalis:
Because of government useless policy on fabric importation... Making aba made wears uncompetitive globally

I have made the analysis here severally

Aba can generate 60 billion dollars from garment and lather industry

Do begin with, is there a thriving textile company in ABA How about a thriving leather manufacturing?

This man is a big fool, always making irrelevant statements.

How many industry he built in Anambra state as governor?? Governance Is not about rhetoric.
As for me, all those tested with political offices before now have failed, all of them!

Richtaiwo:
Here he goes again with another dubious claim. Aba footwear surpassing Nigeria’s oil revenue? If that were true, what is stopping them from fully pursuing such a lucrative venture?

This fraud needs to learn to distinguish between fantasy and reality, because Nigerians are far more concerned with facts than with superficial claims that can convince a baby goat.

“The reason why many people still dey where dem dey na because dem no believe say better things fit happen.
See the countries wey Obi dey mention—no be top countries.
If dem fit do am, why Nigeria no go fit with all our resources and manpower? 🤨
Time don reach to wake up and start thinking big—even the impossible.”

We need to shift to an industrial economy

Instead of 24/7 electricity what President Tinubu has for us is an apology for not providing electricity for Nigeria as he promised. If he continues to fail to keep his promise by 2027 I will not vote for Tinubu. I encourage all Nigerians who mean well for Nigeria to do likewise so other politicians can learn to serve their country faithfully. What Nigeria needs now is to stamp out corruption and provide electricity. Before anyone here thinks I hate Tinubu or am a partisan politician I must say that the lack of power does not affect me in any way. I have a perfectly reliable alternative that is environmentally friendly meeting my power needs. I am interested in the common good.

Yea, as you said, it's possible but far fetched.
Eg, Netherlands that you mentioned is also an oil nation, and one of the highest exporter in Europe.
Nigeria do not have a comparative advantage to push for such this time, if not it will create a crisis never anticipated in the economy. Eg, take a look at the FG policy on Rice, it affected not just rice but other staple food, as it affected demand.
Btw, I don't subscribe to impossibility, but some things are not worth the stress.
The govt should rather go for value addition over agric produce wasting away or being exported raw at different villages

He got the information from a mad man...

Now let me ask you, which of the statements is irrelevant ?

That is possible or the one that don’t believe it can.

No sir, I wasn't interested in having that line of argument, I was just comparing natural resources in the broad sense than limiting to oil.
I was about responding to his 2nd mention of you that China isn't having oil before seeing your post again.
He seems not to be aware that China is one of the highest oil producing nation in the world
I never even knew someone is having same view on Rice policy, if you looked up, you will see that I also shared similar view

Ezewuzie01:
So why didn't the demented Peter Obi generate such oil equalling revenue in Anambra, instead he was owing public sector doctors, university lecturers and water corporation workers that they had to go on strike for over a year and it didn't even bother him

Am from Anambra state peter obi didn't owe anyone dime when he was governor, rather he left 75billion on sit before going out as governor

Countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam are competitive in garment making only because of very low wages then they have better infrastructure than Nigeria and that will lower their operations cost. To compete with them you have to upgrade your infrastructure and pay even lower wages than them. If there are ten million people working in the garment and leather sectors then the activity will be larger than oil and gas.

Okechinwadike:
china get oil? Why did you people refuse to get sense?

U that have sense see your life.

SaintLucia:
So how many did Gbajue build when he was governor of Anambra state?

None of them dey alright. But gbajue nor dey lie like this now.

How much of oil revenue accrues to Abia?
Abia's and other South Eastern oil revenue are being stolen and the remenats shared to the rest of Nigeria.

mrvitalis made an analysis? severally? I can't wait to see it...........do you want to share it with us here in Nairaland?

Wonders shall never end. Would you trust his analysis when he cannot even spell leather correctly?

Thank God we dodged the "new Nigeria is possible" disaster!

Must everything be tribalized you people? Do you even know how much only footbwear industry around the world is worth, let alone joined with the textile industry?

Do you know how many countries in Europe and Asia that 90% of their GDP comes from the textile industry alone?
Sometime you guys should remove this log of tribalism that has eaten so deep into the fabrics of this country, and be sensible.

China's leather work Export in 2025 was $32.8 billion, France $13.1billion , Italy $12.3 billion.

On the other hand, total Nigeria's oil export in 2024 is $32.91 billion.
