Education › Re: FG Suspends Proposed WAEC, NECO Fee Hike After Public Backlash by Raph82(m): 11:44am On Jul 13
njokuuche77:
I like how Nigerians are uniting against the impunity in this govt. If we can sustain this unity beyond politics and ethnicity, no government will take Nigerians for granted.
The thing is that they are cautious to implement whatever it is they want to implement because they know election is at the corner, they need people's votes. They're coming back to it.

A single bullet from a sniper to this guy's forehead will end all these lose talks here and there. He's already a national threat. That's why I love IDF.

The best and most effective antidote to crime is to pull it out from the root, even the dumbest can relate with this. But what is our government doing? Exactly the opposite. I don't know if their sponsors are too big for the government to profile.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Ukranians Riot Against Forced Conscriptions, Beat Recruitment Officers (Videos) by Raph82(m): 4:44pm On Jul 09
I was watching a report on Ukraine in Al-Jazeera a while ago, and was wondering if this country was truly in war or banter with Russia. Nigeria can not be in this kind of war for a year and not know its level by now, this is 4 years counting, and they're still rocking nightlife like Lagosians in some of their cities.
Business › Re: Nigergrob Ceramics Ogun:What I Found In An Abandoned Factory Established In 1974 by Raph82(m): 4:32pm On Jul 09
Nigeria is a sorry case. All companies of yesteryears, where are they today? I don't think we have up to 5 factories established in the 80's to 90's still functioning today. Even multinational companies are moving out of here for fear of extinction. God will save Nigeria.

Foreign Affairs › Re: China Sentences Official, Yang Youlin, To Death For Taking $325m In Bribes by Raph82(m): 1:01pm On Jul 08
So in 30 years of service, he could only corner a little over 2billion Yuan, and there's no way out of death sentence, that's to tell you how easy it is for a Carmel to pass through a needle than for a Chinese to enrich himself or herself through corruption in Chinese soil. WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!

Politics › Re: Makinde Caused Oyo Schoolchildren, Teachers Abduction – Fayose by Raph82(m): 9:19am On Jun 29
HacheNoire:
Oyo state security votes needs to be audited by a world renowned auditing firm.

How can a large scale crime occur in a state without instantaneous mobilization of security forces.

Fayose made valid points!
Other states were also affected by these kidnappings and nothing has been done about it, why the selective criticism? All the states need to be audited asap, not only Oyo. Fayose is lately becoming frustrated, and want Makinde to be pulled down at all cost. It's so glaring from his body language.
Crime › Re: Yusuf Alhasan: Bandits Kidnap Wife & Son Of APC Chairman In Kebbi State by Raph82(m): 5:02pm On Jun 23
When the poor and his cronies are kidnapped,
Politicians : Let's all remember Nigeria in our prayers to deliver us from all these evils happening.

When politicians and their family members are kidnapped,

Politicians : This is abomination in the land, we are fighting this with all our might.
Imbalanced society.

Sijo01:
They keep picking south-southerners like snails! Where is their Amotekun? Disbanded or compromised? They've not been active/on the news for a long time now.
They've been weakened and silenced. There are some forces among the Yoruba elites who don't want to see them functioning. You will wonder why Lagos State refused to embrace Amotekun up till now, despite Akeredolu's tireless efforts that time to establish Amotekun in all the South West states. Politics everywhere.

Agriculture › Re: Kenya Versus Nigeria Dairy Industry Output Comparison by Raph82(m):
Gerrard59:
The number there makes it impossible for me to list them because I am not too sure they have such in their ranches. I read about a Malaysian man who became a multi-millionaire from the industry. A solid middle class population to sell to and low interest rate loans from agencies are the key factors to building a thriving dairy industry. Now, does this mean Kenya has a stronger middle class than Nigeria?

see here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanburgos/2026/04/15/malaysian-tycoons-farm-fresh-dairy-outfit-is-taking-on-rivals-with-its-grass-to-glass-approach/


So why are northern elites not pushing forward for this big time? The industry needs patient capital and as illustrated, the Malaysian entrepreneur, even though ethnic Chinese, got gov't backing to expand his farm.

You might have come across L and Z farms. His recent interview here: https://nidacity.com/articles/nigeria-has-enough-cows-it-just-needs-muhammad-abubakars-system and a long time article about the industry here: https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2015/06/06/uncowed
So why are northern elites not pushing forward for this big time? You can't invest into a business you know nothing about, what they know about is what they're investing in, which is beef cattle production, and they are even doing it in the crude way (the ancient practice of nomadic system).

Now, does this mean Kenya has a stronger middle class than Nigeria? I think Kenyans have a better purchasing power than Nigerians, we are far below the ladder. Kenyans are spending far more on milk products because it's become part of their daily life, and the government is working towards making it available for all citizens. Here in Nigeria, milk is a luxury, that only the rich and middle class can afford to include in their cuisine.

The industry needs patient capital The industry? We don't have a dairy industry ( a well-structured and functional institution governing the establishment, business, quality control /assurance board and dairy products marketing board of the dairy subsector) in Nigeria, it's only the poultry subsector that has been developed to a minimal level in Nigeria, and the major players in the poultry subsector are foreigners (Lebanese, Israelis, Indians etc).

This is how a thriving dairy industry runs in a saner clime;

All functional dairy farms are documented and registered with the government board.

All dairy farms belong to a dairy association

The association is responsible for collecting all fresh milk produced on the farms registered under it on daily basis

Payments are made to each farms based on the litters lifted daily.

Farmers don't have to crack their brains on where to sell their products, the industry controls the price through the price control board, so middle men don't rip farmers off.

Gerrard59:
Seeing your signature, then this post. It is a thriving industry in northern Nigeria. But agreed, not up to the level of the Kenyans.
Thriving industry you say? Well, the word thriving is relative. I'm well familiar with northern livestock production system, because I served at the state veterinary clinic in the north. I would be glad if you could mention 6 dairy farms in the so-called north with 200 dairy cows (exotic breeds) and a 30 to 50-cow capacity fully-automated milking parlours that's fully operational.

With which cattle does the north produce milk from? Is it with all these Bunaji breeds (white fulani breeds) or what? How many litres of milk can the white fulani breeds produce daily? Kenya invested heavily in exotic breeds of dairy cattle from Netherlands, UK to improve their local breeds through a good breeding program. But Nigeria leaves the business in the hands of fulani nomadic farmers who can't even differentiate between beef cattle and dairy cattle.

Nigeria should just present southern Christian and northern Christian as president and vice. I want to check something.
Agriculture › Re: Kenya Versus Nigeria Dairy Industry Output Comparison by Raph82(m): 6:04pm On Jun 18
There's nothing like dairy industry in Nigeria, that industry is non-existent here. We still have a long way to go getting the industry running. It's a multi-billion dollar industry lying fallow, yet untapped.

Of course, they have unfinished business at home, xenophobing other Africans in their territory. Take my word or leave it, no single joy is coming their way this year. They've stepped on cobra's tail. Even almighty God is not happy with them.

That's insane, adding 100 billion USD to your portfolio in a single day? That's massive, and Americans don't because of that give a hoot. Meanwhile they worship a man in this side of the world who's networth barely dangles around 20 to 30 billion USD with all the favoritism. Some people have special grace sha.

ceejay80s:
oga truck or Trump , an attack is an attack,
why should Lebanon attack first
Abi o, if this small attack as said by Trump goes unchecked, then be expecting a bigger attack as test run. Israel is right in the centre of adversaries calling for her extinction if the slightest chance surfaces, so Israel can never give a chance for that. It's survival of the fittest.

I hate these set of politicians with their stupid religious ideology. Must you bring your stupid religion into every healthy discussion just to discredit your fellow politician all in the name of not picking you as running mate? Until Nigerians begin to see all these imported religions as instrument of doom in our daily life, we will not move forward as a nation. That thing is too common with these northerners.

But they have a solid point about Nigeria's situation. We are not calling out our leaders over the killings going on here, but fuming over South African xenophobia.

These monsters is now all over the sw where is igboho?
In the middle of no where. There's less he can do, considering the circumstances behind his actions against these miscreants the last time. Now he needs to fight the Yoruba battle (quote and unquote) with his sense, or better still with wisdom. He's seeking for approval from the government before he could take any action, which is the best way to go, but up till this present moment, the government has not given him approval, I think you can read in-between the lines.

She is in captivity, how come she was able to know what is going on regarding their situation?
Do they listen to news in captivity?
Two things, it's either their abductors have direct access to the internet right in the bush to monitor news flying around or they have moles in the public calling them to give them the latest news in the public space regarding their abductees.
