We never stick to project timeline completion date in this Nigeria. Something they initially promised would be completed by March this year, as at 16 months ago: https://www.thecable.ng/sylva-port-harcourt-refinery-to-refine-60000-bpsd-by-q1-2023/amp

It's not a war. I don't know why ignorant people are pushing this propaganda. It's going to be a dislodging operation that won't even take more than 1 week, if Ecowas plays their game well. It happened in Sierra Leone in 1998, Ivory Coast in 2011 and Gambia in 2017. This is NOT new.

Who's even in charge of pushing threads to FP?? Why must important information always be contained in the titles of thread?? Can't this topic be: 'Tinubu appoints new CEO for so and so' without mentioning the person's name or including all the three titles , until the person clicks to read it.??
If I've seen all the information from the title, why would I then bother myself to click to read??

Memphitz357:
Nairaland's MODS are the most dumbest set of individuals currently parading earth's surface.

That was too harsh sha, but the person in charge of wording or rewording FP thread titles has been doing a very horrible job.

When is the FG going to start incorporating sidewalks on our federal roads?? Why should they always end up in between grasses and red muds??

SmartPolician:
Sidewalks?What are you doing in the middle of nowhere? You be thief? 😂

slowice:
Highway with sidewalks? Are you high? Where are you walking to?

Larryndelaw:
...

MODIFIED: Lol. I can see people saying it's not necessary. Well, not in all cases, but there are a lot of places where you see people standing by the road side on federal roads. What am I even saying sef, apart from Abuja and Lagos, are there other states that build sidewalks on their local roads??

All for 2027 election that's 4 years away. Imagine a California state governor using public resources to sponsor wedding for thousands for poor Californians. Will the Kano gov continue to feed them after the wedding ceremony??

Helgreenluv:
Avoid Oraimo power banks. Even the one I bought directly from the company is already malfunctioning less than a month

It's still on warranty. Go for a replacement free of charge. I did same.

IyaTola:
From DM

2018 NL thread by another person — https://www.nairaland.com/4275378/got-job-30k-after-nysc. Why all these regular lies?? From DM koh, from FM ni.

IyaTola:
You dumb because most people are currently in such situation and many are in my DM asking if they should take teaching jobs less than 50k.

Lie. You copy previous NL threads or stories from Facebook, IG or Twitter and post them just for FP. Who will see your satanic profile picture and choose to send you mails asking for career advice??

limeta:
See this one
Democracy is the people's choice what you see in niger is the people's choice

Give evidence that 100% of Niger people support the coup. So because you saw tens of thousands of hired people rallying in support of the military automatically means everybody in Niger is happy about the coup?? Even if majority is in support of illegality, does it automatically make it legal??

Just because it's the Hausa Fulani oligarchy that took over. When ECOWAS military helped his Fulani brother in The Gambia to assume office about 5 years ago, was he against it??

Wodu89:
Smh. The issue is Tinubu is spoiling for a war to prove a point

Buhari formulary used on the south. Tinubu wants to invade Niger on a personal level because he has a point to prove.

What does protest about governorship election tribunal got to do with Niger Rep??

Ofunaofu:
How will Wike being the FCT minister uplift the life of a River state citizen

Stop turning logic on its head. It's not always about tribal leaning. It's like asking how an Igbo person becoming Nigerian president benefits an average Igbo person.

Tinubu did a revolutionary job in that aspect. If northerners have headed petroleum ministry, NNPC and countless other oil-related FG agencies, why should the position of FCT Minster be their exclusive preserve??

Rostikol:
Plus more wealth and development.
Just like India.

India is not a wealthy country, please. There's NO single country that ever became wealthy or developed due to its population size. It has always been due to the ingenuity of its government in harnessing wealth through private sector — through manufacturing, innovation and research. When we're talking about wealthy, rich or prosperous countries, we should be talking about the citizens living in prosperity, not the govt having billions of dollars in reserves or the country being rich in crude oil, gold, silver, diamond, etc, whilst the citizens live in squalor.

Keep on glorifying "white" people and then turn around to accuse them of superiority complex and racism. Let us know when a US journalist writes an African president concerning what's happening in North America.

I may not be fully in support of the military operation, but why are some people making it look like this is the first time this kind of thing is happening?? Ecowas did the same in Sierra Leone way back in 1998 and it succeeded within days. During Buhari's tenure, they did the same when the then-president of Gambia lost election and he refused to vacate office. His soldiers refused to fight and ECOWAS forces didn't have to fight at the end; they just did mopping operation — in fact they are still there till date.

Uproar as Senate okays fresh $800m World Bank borrowing

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2023/07/uproar-as-senate-okays-fresh-800m-world-bank-borrowing/amp/

It was Buhari that initiated the borrowing before leaving office: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/business-news/597819-buhari-writes-senate-seeks-approval-for-800m-loan-from-world-bank.html

And I was thinking that this guy was an intellectual. It's OK to display support for any politician of your choice (and I'm even a tacit supporter of Tinubu), but do it without dragging your self-esteem on the ground.

ahiboilandgas:
lies COAS is labaja that the only new appointment all where former. Yorubanization never start he still looking for replacements

Yes, that was an error. It's CAS, not COAS. You mean ministers/deputy ministers of defence/police, NSA (nearly 90%) are former??

ahiboilandgas:
aboki provided the 5.2 million vote over 60 percent of the votes tinibu won with now he his yorubanizing everthing. Na Muslim/Muslim him use decieve aboki but million 0f abokis will be 18 in 2027 and will redirect vote to s
Somewhere else. Make him Yoruba crew vote am exclusively.

Tinubu is also northernizing our national security sector. The following are headed by northerners: SSS, NSA, minister of defense, minister of police, NIA, COAS, deputy minsters of defence and police, etc. Tinubu appears to be a weakling for even doing this.

Napata77:
This is a reconstruction of the 600 YEAR old palace of the Oba of Benin before it was destroyed in1897 by British troops.

It is based on Benin Ikun or courtyard architecture.

This picture is actually small, because the palace had 207 IKUNS (COURTYARDS), whereas we see just 30 or so Ikuns represented by the artist here.

To show you how massive it was.

SO CAN YOU SEE YOU SEE YOU ARE STUPID AND IGNORANT ABOUT YOUR AFRICAN HISTORY?

Avoid me, because it doesn't look like you're mentally sound, as your modus operandi is going up and down insulting people who are more learned about history and more emotionally balanced than you.

Kingosytex:
The amount is even meagre in my opinion. What they have stolen from us is unquantifiable, whatever they have, they built from the sweat of our fore fathers.

Britain didn't steal anything from you. They used their God-given brain to build the prosperity you see today. Did Russia, Japan, China, South Korea, Denmark also steal from you that their citizens are living in prosperity??

TimeMachine2:
Seriously, as terrible as Nigeria 🇳🇬 is, we can hold down those LGBTQ+ 🇺🇸 army. On God!!
This Ukraine special military operation conducted by Russia has exposed the toothless bulldog NATO is.
What a time to be alive. Look at how all NATO military hardwares are burning 🔥 in Ukraine? 20k dollars drone destroying 4 billion dollars Patriot missile defence system, the best 🇺🇸 air defence? 😆 🤣 😂 😹

No one takes usa serious anymore. That country is officially a 3rd world country with worst infrastructure. No high speed trains, police brutality, daily mass shootings, LGBTQ menace, terrible subway system, homelessness, health care system is shitty, dilapidated airports. Just compare JFK with any local 3rd world airport to understand what iam saying.

You were making very valid points, but delved into blatant lies and exaggerations by calling the US a third world country. You could have simply continued to counter his points without resorting to obvious exaggerations and blatant lies.

That person up there shouting about preservation of history is getting it all wrong. What's worth preserving about thatched and mud houses built in the 1800s?? If the street captured above had contained mud houses, the British would have pulled it down and erect a befitting structure in its place. Are you proud of some parts of Ibadan with rusted roofs as it's today - a state capital for that matter??

Very good. After buying the car, they'll be fueling it with water or petrol at N50/litre.

Napata77:
DUMMY, WHAT HAS PORT HARCOURT GOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING?

IS IT NOT PART OF THE SAME 220 MILLION NIGERIANS THAT HAVE TO SHARE THE OIL INCOME?

WHAT IS THE POPULATION OF QATAR?

ARE THEY EVEN UP TO 2 MILLION PEOPLE, WITH LARGER OIL RESERVES THAN NIGERIA?

STUPID DROPOUT.

DON’T USE YOUR FCKING HEAD.

The guy's comment was well in order. Must our population size be equal to Qatar before we can use them as examples?? Is China not 1.6 billion people?? If the Qatari leaders are mismanaging their petrodollars, they would have also been as poor like Niger that's rich in uranium, but don't know to build wealth from it.
Why couldn't Nigeria use the revenue from crude oil to create prosperity through other areas such as auto manufacturing, ship building, electronics production, etc - all through the private sector, like it happened in developed countries??

Napata77:
ANOTHER

Wow, and I was thinking I was reasoning with a sane human being. So no matter how cool somebody comments on a post on this Nairaland, some people have already made up their mind to reply with insults and name-calling?? May God heal you.

iSense247:
The $800B borrowed can build modular (small and sustainable) refinaries in each of the six zones. The old refinaries should be dashed out or sold to investors on credit because they are a liability to our national purse. They gulp billions every months with zero production.

Not $800b, but $800tr .

Because EFCC is no longer functioning. Can we bring back Ibrahim Magu for commonsense' sake??

Ikaeniyan0:
You have the right to your dumb opinion.

When people don't have something sensible to say, they resort to insult.

Ikaeniyan0:
Things haven't gone worse to this level.

Yes o. Let's wait until a bag of rice is N1m. Argentina's newly elected president already promised to do this same thing OP is suggesting, because of his country's out-of-control inflation. It may just be a God-given saving grace for them, and who knows, we too.

How many crooked lawyers have been made scapegoats in Nigeria since at least the last 24 years?? They're the ones the polithiefcians channel money through to judges after having their cut, but EFCC is blind.
