Nigerian are always ignorance of tech,
electric stations will be built just like petrol station where motorist drive in to recharge their car or better still all fuel stations will add electric charging to their service. it is easy just the way we have diesel, kerosine and gas sessions in a petrol stations.

How many Nigerians can buy a common tokunbo petrol car talk more of an electric car

Pavore9:
We are living in denial.

So is apparently much of the rest of the world...

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was just gleefully touting the other day that melting polar caps would make it easier to drill for oil in the Artic, while Russia has started to build permanent military bases in the Artic region to secure what would be contested hydrocarbon resources. It's great to simultaneously pursue/develop cleaner energy sources and technology, but the reasonably-certain likelihood is that the global economy will still be heavily hydrocarbon-driven for most (if not the rest) of the natural lives of most (if not all) Nairalanders.

This is completely true of ednut1. To believe in and post this is utterly abominable. Don't you have any sense of self worth? Someone calls you a goat; then you start bleating.

Lord Lugard, the former governor-general of Nigeria, in 1926, wrote his unfiltered thought about Nigerians. From his book, The Dual Mandates, come these excerpts: "In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person, lacking in self-control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewellery. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals' placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the state he has reached.

"Through the ages, the African appears to have evolved no organised religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural. He lacks the power of organisation, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility - he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue. In brief, the virtues and defects of his race -type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy. Perhaps, the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future"

In other news, the Nigeria Parliament just threw out an electric car bill sponsored by Sen Ben Bruce saying Nigeria is not yet ripe for electric cars, meanwhile the minister for industry has assured that the 2019 deadline for production of pencil is still feasible

Would rather have such charging stations around each neighborhood so that people can go charge some of their household appliances, since we cannot even supply simple basic reliable electricity to the teeming masses of Nigerians who are in no 'danger' of affording electric cars.

Things like this happen in a sane environment not in an insane environment like Nigeria

Bros, the kind of low self-esteem, lack of self-worth and self-belief, as well as an inherent self-hatred, that would cause a supposedly "educated" African to re-publish, promote and seek to validate such obtuse racist drivel is shocking!

I was moved to tears with the excerpts above.

How can someone so accurately summarize us and our future in such prophetic manner.

@op, I need this book please

the first step toward change is admitting a problem. We have that problem. Nothing he said there is wrong. They are bitter facts

I love those small small countries of Norway Finland Sweden & Denmark to my marrow & not Nigeria dat out of 200 million, more dan 195, million of d population don't see beyond d now & d future.

everything is about me & my family consumption & selfishness. the GREED never gets filled.

leadership is dead & d people are reflection of their leaders. d different between oyinbo & Nigerians here is dat d formal (whites) get educated be it formal & informal & use it for d betterment of d society while d latter Nigerians the more educated they become d more gullible, tribally wired, & morally lacking.

tell me where he lied in his submission please ( we are still looking for oil in borno, we are not making plans for lower oil demand in future, we are not cleaning our oil spills wen we still have the money, we still voted in a failure) . I lived in the uk for a few years and i can tell u the black man is an abomination to him self and the world. Tufiakwa.

With the way technology is going it might ends up in years to come oil might not be as useful as it is today I guess oil producing countries should be preparing for a bigger falls in the nearest future.

Dannyset:
Norway has actually stopped anything that has to do with oil. They've generated enough from it to the extent that the government decided to stop investing in it. They are one of the leading oil owners in the world but now they've rendered it useless.

That's simply NOT true at all...
Their North Sea reserves are nearing exhaustion, but they are AGGRESSIVELY seeking new oil fields (see below).

Norway Plans To Expand Arctic Oil Exploration Areas
By Tsvetana Paraskova - Mar 14, 2019, 4:00 PM CDT

Norway’s government is proposing to expand the area that will be offered for oil and gas exploration in the 2019 licensing round of acreage in mature areas, Petroleum and Energy Minister Kjell-Børge Freiberg said on Thursday.

Norway plans to include a total of 90 new blocks in the so-called APA annual licensing round this year, including 48 blocks in the Barents Sea, 37 blocks in the Norwegian Sea, and five blocks in the North Sea, Freiberg said.

In the 2018 APA licensing round, Norway awarded 83 production licenses—a record number of awards for such rounds.

So with the continuous decline in petrol demand all over the world I wonder what Nigeria would lean on for foreign exchange earning.

May I be gone before Nigeria feels the heat

Be gone to heaven or Europe, If other Countries stopped buying naija's crude oil.It would definitely force our government to divert the economy into other sectors such as mining,agriculture and other sectors.
During the era of regional government, Chief Obafemi Awolowo who was the Western Region Prime singlehandedly built the great O.A.U and U.I by agricultural proceeds of cocoa, rubber and cashew.
Looking at the master architectural piece of those great schools,you would keep wondering how much was eventually spent on those magnificent structures.
He also established Odua Investment Company which has subsidiaries in Hotels and Housing estates.
This man was generating huge internal revenue's for the entire Southwest region and it was only through agriculture.
I was hugely surprised about other Senators supporting Ekweremadu about the importation of electric cars.The only reason they did that was that they are so myopic and can not see into the coming future.
Moreover, they knew the drop in crude oil proceeds from exportation would force the government to cut the salaries and the emoluments of the Legislatures.
But no matter how long it takes,the word 'change' is the only constant factor on the earth and sooner or later,it would force Nigerian to adopt what the whole World are into.
In the passing of bill video by Sen.Ben Bruce,he said "i had been using an electrically powered vehicle for the past 5years,which I duly charge in my house and it has not been repaired for the past 5yrs.
Apart from the atmosphere friendliness of all electrically powered vehicles of it stopping carbon dioxide emission.
It is maintenance friendly.It adoption would force the F.G to improve power supply and there would be an overall improvement in the Small and Medium Scale Enterprises by sustainable power supply.
A change is coming,all Nigerian should brace up.

Nairaland is NOT the only Nigerian website out there. Meanwhile, Nigerians are killing on the Fintech space.

Now compare Nigerian fintech to that of Chinese fintech.

Nigeria is such a shithole country and our politicians ar backward thinkers moreover most govt officials and politicians dat has oil block will think its going to affect their turnover so dey wont allow d sale of electric cars in naija

No wonder almost all Igbos I have met abroad speaks ill about Nigeria.

This is how Nigeria will divide finally.

When Electric cars is everywhere, Oil will be useless.
The Fulanis wi have no reason to hold on to one Nigeria.

Everyone will go separate ways and develop at their own pace.

And Buhari is desperately searching for oil in the North. Archaic brain
