SIRTee15:He's a typical Nigerian coon, or coconut. Too many of them like that. |
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. |
obiekunie01:SHUT UP, MUMU. |
Kirkman:So you think you can list NIGERIA'S military inventory, from tanks to APCs to trainer jets to fighter jets to warships, based on stories you saw in the newspapers? Ignorance is not cool bro. |
Parrot69: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. |
checky619:They will park them in front of your house to prove it. Just wait. Ode. |
dirtydiva:It's part of Biafra in his drug-addled dreams. |
SmartPolician:You must be pretty cold-hearted to be bandying around terms like 'demarketing' and 'relevance' where the very lives of people are under threat, courtesy of Kanu and his gang. |
Treasure17:Eagles played Tunisia with fear. Burkina Faso played them hard African soccer. |
BUT KANU WAS OFFERED THE 5 IGBO STATES AS 'BIAFRA' AND HE REFUSED, SAYING HE WANTS RIVERS, BENUE ETC AS WELL. SO THE PROBLEM IS NOT THAT NIGERIA WON'T LET IGBOS SECEDE. SHE JUST WON'T LET THEM SECEDE WITH NIGERIAN LAND AND RESOURCES. SO WHEN YOU THIEVING, GREEDY OIL HUNGRY DEVILS GET TIRED OF TRYING TO STEAL NIGERIA'S OIL WEALTH, YOU CAN FREELY SECEDE WITH YOUR DOTCOM IGBOLAND ALONE. |
femicyrus: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''. Damn illiterates. Why do I even bother with this Low IQ forum? |
femicyrus: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. |
winterfell007: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. |
lumidee2580:YOU DON'T KNOW THAT. You are just assuming based on what may have happened elsewhere. |
ufotunang:Bros, they have to build it well nah.....be patient. ![]() |
Truvelisback: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. |
Ttalk: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. |
femicyrus: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. |
Coldie:Don't mind them. |
dasparrow:lol |
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.

airmax16:You are dead. Nigeria is very much alive and kicking. Stupid failure blaming 'Nigeria' for his uselessness. |
Evolutionlove:PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE A CURSE TO THE BLACK RACE. Your wretched and baseless inferiority complex is a sin against God who made all men equal. Hope you don't transmit your disease to your kids. |
So... China has an annual budget of 5.3 TRILLION dollars per annum. Nigeria has an annual budget of 35 billion dollars per annum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_government_budget YET SOME OAFS ON NAIRALAND think THAT NIGERIA SHOULD HAVE BRIDGES AS ADVANCED AS THOSE IN CHINA. KAI 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. |
LegendHero:Don't mind him. So that terrorists like IPOB can go and spoil his refinery abi? Something that cost over 12 billion dollars? Msshew. Abeg make una talk another thing. |
gidgiddy: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. |
Area4Area:Please educate. |
tellwisdom:Don't mind him. He can easily get a shooting coach to help improve his shooting. Or make him a free kick specialist etc. But no. Those boys never strive to be extra, or better than they are. |
paulolee:That shot can't beat Uzoho. |
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. |
