PhonesRe: How Africans Replied A Racist On Tiktok. by Reflect7:
This is why I laugh when I hear Nigerians talking about how 'backward' the country is, with 'no progress' etc etc.

What we don't realise is that westerners see us as 1,000 times more 'backward' than we actually are.

If you drop the average westerner in the middle of Lagos or Abuja, he'll be shocked to see roads, cars, flyovers, buildings, etc, with well-dressed people walking around etc.

We more or less all live in mud huts and slums, starving, and waiting for western aid, as far as they are concerned.

The idea that we have actual cities with proper buildings, banks, universities, or vehicle manufacturers like INNOSON etc is just not what they know about us.

Of course it's the fault of their racist media in collusion with their leaders, who deliberately shield their people from Africa's reality and potential, for reasons best known to them.

The military do not usually announce when they acquire new weapons and equipment, including jets. Only when it is a politically related purchase, eg Super Tucanos for BH etc. Normally it is usually done very quietly and placed in the military inventory.

So many of you are terribly ignorant and actually think the only weapons/equipment the Nigerian military possesses are the few ones you've heard about in the news.

I can see you are very good in government.
You should know better that all your theories does not fit into the Nigerian situation.
Oil earning is not enough, they still borrow from all over the world to fund the budget.
Which budget?
To build rail track from Nigeria to Niger republic.
To boom the terrorism business by buying weapons for the military who will in turn hand it over to terrorist after claiming ambush
To finance election rigging
To share at party level, over bloated contract sum
To pay bogus salary of the legislature and special advisers
To pay subsidies that even the president once claimed was a scam.

Now tell me which one of the above has a positive impact on the masses you claim the government will be saving for?
This is an illiterate submission, and I don't deal with illiterates.

When your brain starts to work, go to your state and ask them how many billions of Naira the FG sends them by allocation each month to develop your state.

Useless, dumb people sank in negativity and hate. Oh sure, all the national budget goes on ''election rigging'', ''bogus salaries'', and to ''build rail track from Nigeria to Niger republic''.

And they told you all those savings by Nigeria will have impact on you personally? Or the vacancy you talked about will be given to you as a nobody?
National savings are important. If Nigeria has a bigger annual budget than the current 35 billion dollars per annum, it will impact positively on the lives of Nigerians. The real reason Nigeria is struggling is that the oil earnings are insufficient for its huge population, requiring continued diversification to increase govt revenue, and hence the national budget.

Transition doesn't mean ''stop building entirely''. THE UK is building a 20 billion dollar nuclear power plant as we speak, despite all her noises about clean energy.

Giant Dangote Oil Refinery Begins Production in 3rd Quarter

- Dangote refinery plans to process 540,000 barrels a day
- Refinery capacity to meet Nigeria’s domestic fuel need

Bloomberg

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-22/giant-dangote-oil-refinery-to-begin-production-in-third-quarter

Nigeria’s giant new Dangote oil refinery will start processing crude in the third quarter of this year.

Mechanical work on the refinery is complete and “hopefully before the end of third quarter we should be in the market,” Aliko Dangote, chairman of Dangote Industries Limited, said in a briefing at the plant site in Lagos.

The plant will start with a processing capacity of 540,000 barrels a day, Dangote said. “Full production can start maybe, by the end of the year or beginning of 2023,” he said.

The facility, which will cost an estimated $19 billion to build, has an installed capacity of 650,000 barrels per day. Its output will be more than enough to meet Nigeria’s fuel demands and turn Africa’s largest crude producer into an exporter of refined crude.

Dangote, Africa’s richest man, addressed reporters along with Akinwumi Adesina, president of the African Development Bank, which previously provided $300 million loan in support of the project.

The AfDB head and Dangote discussed possible collaboration to expand the billionaire’s businesses to more African countries to take advantage of the free trade area agreement, according to Adesina. They also talked about setting up an industrial manufacturing corps on the continent made up of the engineers that built the refinery. This will ensure that the skills gained can be shared with other countries in Africa and outside the continent.

Dangote, originally a cement tycoon, is worth $20.4 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Get rid of your government dependency syndrome.

Nigeria is a capitalist economy.

In capitalist economies, the private sector reigns supreme.

Every day you people talk about wanting to be like the US.

But anything worth anything in the US is private sector owned and operated.

Dude, it is not only in Nigeria that government projects are known to be inefficient. Even in Europe they had the same problems, leading to mass privatisation of industries from the 1970s till date.

The US has ALWAYS done it the private way. It is simple human nature that when you invest your private money into a business, with a profit motive, you will run it far more efficiently than a government enterprise, which tends to belong to ''everyone and no one'', so to speak.

What a load of rubbish. You have no idea what's going in that place. You have no idea what the price of fuel will be. And this is about more than the price of fuel.

Are you even aware there's a 2.5 billion dollar fertilizer plant there?

Do you know what it means for Nigeria in terms of savings, to stop importing refined petrol, become self-sufficient in petroleum products, and to turn net exporter of same?

Do you know the impact of that on ancillary local businesses and industries here?

Do you know the Dangote plant employs 40,000 Nigerians, from engineers to IT and security staff?

I just don't know how some of you guys reason.

The government and people of Ghana are freaking out over the gigantic, world-class, game-changing Dangote Refinery roaring into life this year, and set to position Nigeria as the Number 1 industrial powerhouse of West Africa, and the foremost producer and exporter of refined crude oil, and the Number 1 manufacturer of petroleum products in Africa, set to supply the entire continent and beyond.

The Ghanaian minister from that country's Petroleum Commission, says his country is very jittery about how Nigeria will halt the growth of the fledgling Ghana oil industry, monopolising the entire African market, with the gigantic 15 billion dollar facility - the largest single train oil refinery in the world.

He called for special arrangements to be made to prevent the crowding out of smaller oil industries across the West African sub-region, to maintain regional competitiveness in industrial development.

The Dangote complex in Lagos also includes the largest fertilizer plant in Africa, as well as the largest urea manufacturing facility on Earth, further compounding the Ghanaian minister's problems.

Educated illiterates.


Get this. Nigeria is a relatively poor, developing country. It is NOT a rich country, in terms of how much it earns per annum. The oil income is a pittance for its huge population.

The solution for raising national income is continued economic DIVERSIFICATION.

That is your biggest challenge. Far bigger than the much vaunted ''corruption''.

Even if not ONE kobo is stolen by officials, you still would NOT be able to afford those Chinese-style bridges.

It is very important to note that a person cannot lose their property or investment in a democrstic country just because they are not citizens of that country. Dangote opened a cement factory in Ethiopia, however, Ethiopia cannot turn around one day and seize Dangote's factory just because Dangote is not Ethiopian.

Getting a Visa to visit places in Nigeria is a very small price to pay for freedom and Independence

As for being landlocked, some landlocked African countries like Ethiopia and Botswana are doing better than Nigeria. The only thing Nigeria has is Oil.

It is far better for Igbos to be landlocked, seek Visa to enter Nigeria but be independent of the failed entity called Nigeria
Ethiopia cannot be ''doing better than Nigeria'' with a raging civil war and a GDP per capita of 936 dollars compared to Nigeria's 2,400.

Botswana is 'landlocked' but borders 3 or 4 different countries.

Your banana republic will be landlocked WITHIN Nigeria alone, meaning Nigeria will have major leverage over your IPOB terrorist-led banana republic.

Kanu was offered the 5 Igbo states in prison in 2017, to form his 'Biafra' and he refused, saying he wanted Rivers State, Benue etc. as well.

Your pathetic 'struggle' is just a clumsy resource grab attempt by a group of deluded, greedy Igbos who care not how many Igbos are killed in their endless, mad, and futile quest to steal Nigeria's resources.

What he was saying flew over you, he's only saying that Igbos would now be foreigners in Nigeria.

You'd now need a passport and visa to enter Nigeria( PH, Uyo, Yenagoa, Warri, Calabar etc are all Nigeria) and Biafra would be surrounded by Nigeria.

Since you'd be surrounded by Nigeria, import and export to and from Biafra now depends on the goodwill of Nigeria. Entry of Biafrans into Nigeria and their movement would be strictly controlled by Nigeria

Nigeria would veto Biafra's entry into ECOWAS and Biafrans in these countries would be made to go get their papers and visas.

Nigeria could decide to close her border with Biafra(Benin and Niger reps comes to mind).

These are some of the the things the man was trying to say, remember that these are existing Nigerian laws, Nigeria isn't creating a new law to spite or punish Biafrans, just extending same laws to them since they're now foreigners.

Alien land act would be extended to Biafrans and all their properties all over Nigeria would be seized.

That Igbos don't feel it now is because they are still Nigerian citizens.

SportsRe: 5 Reasons Super Eagles Lost To Tunisia. by Reflect7:
The thing about Eagles players is that individually, they don't improve their game even after years of playing.

Give me one reason why Ndidi, supposedly a world class midfielder, cannot try a long range shot that actually hits the target, for once?

He poses zero goal threat. He should be able to produce a screamer from 20 yards at least, every so often. Yet every time he tries that it goes way off target. Can't he get a shooting coach to improve his shooting? All these years? Other players same. They just all seem to be content being just slightly above average, and no more.

Scoring is not just about strikers, because they can block your strikers, or the strikers could underperform. So we need players who are goal threats whether or not they are strikers.
