The next thing is to start importing nickel when the need arise just as we are set to import Bitumen which we have in abundant.

I hope the coconut head we have as president don't spoil it because Nigeria is gradually becoming a failed state due to the stupidity, bigotry, wickedness, cluelessness and mor0nic behavior of Buhari and his confused, incompetent and evil APC government.
If things keep deteriorating at this rate, then Nigeria may collapse any time soon.
Odedinho...Can't you see anything good in what the Government is doing or even trying to do?

We do not have the mental capacity to exploit the nickel. So wetin go happen be say, oyinbo go come exploit am, export am as rawmaterials, then we import back as finished product at more then 50% cost over its cost as raw materials.
Exactly! That's how gullible our leaders are! undecided

Good news is propaganda to you. You only like news like "The Kaduna nickel is not of commercial quantity". Then you will call it Genuine news. You people never want good things to happen because of your genetically modified hatred.
A lot of anarchists are never happy with good news.

The answer is there in the right up...
“Pits dug up to six metres deep, at roughly 200 metre centres, show the nickel occurs in a coarse-grained micaceous felsic unit, associated with localised zones of mafic and olivine-rich ultramafic bedrocks”, the team said.

I pray we don't import Nickel later like we're importing bitumen..
We will continue to import Nikel same way we import Petrol and every other natural resource we have in abundance. The world's system of things is set up that way. The world is set up to keep on exploiting third world countries forever.

We will continue to be poor in Africa and will continue to depend on white people to do everything, UNLESS we learn science which will lead us to technological and industrial development.

Unless we re-invent education in Africa and learn science enough to be able to be in charge of minning our own Nikel, forget about development. We will continue to be peasants to the Australian company who have the technology to mine Nikel. The said Australian company would make more money from the Nikel than the Nigerian government, just as the oil companies do.

I look around and I see no plan for development in Africa.

Lord Nkrumah was right!. ''Neo-colonialism is the last stage of imperialism''.

Instead of us thinking about how to process the nickel into finished products - a process that will create employement and reduce trade deficit - we are allowing our current economic predicament becloud our thinking process. I strongly suggest we process it into finished products and sell to the world for a far higher profit as against export of raw nickel. This is the logical thing to do going by the claim that the nickel is of unusually high quality.
