Will President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, be the president that finally made it possible for Nigeria to become an INDUSTRIAL POWER? Once Ajaokuta produces liquid steel, and stakes in the company are shared between the FG and local producers and manufacturers, NOT foreign firms, IT IS GAME ON in terms of industrialisation. Nigeria will start to build THESE from scratch: https://static.euronews.com/articles/stories/04/66/01/54/1440x810_cmsv2_96a22d2e-548e-5782-a60c-3e06edfb3523-4660154.jpg https://s.abcnews.com/images/Politics/f-15-ht-er-200723_1595551915400_hpMain_16x9_1600.jpg https://www.topgear.com/sites/default/files/2021/06/aircar6.jpg 2 Likes 1 Share |

Ajaokuta Steel Company Will be Completed Before End Of Buhari's Tenure – Adegbite The minister says the company will function to capacity before the end of President Buhari's tenure, and produce LIQUID STEEL for building aircraft and motor engines and parts. Liquid Steel Production https://i2.wp.com/rayhaber.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/kardemir-sivi-celik-uretiminde-25-milyon-ton-hedefini-asti.jpg?fit=1424%2C800&ssl=1 By Agency Report July 21, 2021 Olamilekan Adegbite, the minister of Mines and Steel Development, says Ajaokuta Steel Company Limited will function to capacity before the end of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. Mr Adegbite made this known during the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Forum in Abuja. He said the federal government had made effort to ensure that the Russian company that built the steel industry would come to Nigeria to conduct technical audit of the company..... NAN recalls that the minister had earlier said that a 60-man team from Russia would arrive in Nigeria to start technical audit of Ajaokuta steel. The agreement on how to revive the steel company was reached during a meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and President Vladimir Putin in Russia in 2019. The Russian government had nominated TPE, the original builder of Ajaokuta Steel Company, to conduct technical audit of the steel company to ascertain the level of work remaining to be completed on the steel company. However, the minister said the main purpose of the steel company when it was conceived and built was to produce liquid steel, adding that the National Iron Ore Mining Company (NIOMCO) was set up at Itakpe in Kogi to feed it with iron ore. He explained that liquid steel could be used for building aeroplane and car engine parts, among others. “Ajaokuta Steel Company has not been able to produce liquid steel since it was built – the little hurdles we need to address.'' “The steel company has worked in the past whereby billet were imported to produce reinforcement but that was not what Ajaokuta steel was built for,” he said. He also said the ministry had recently trained some youths in the metal sub-sector on national development to ensure human capital development with special emphasis on vibrant metals operators. He said the workshop was an appropriate strategy meant to launch and mainstream youths into the sector, adding that the three weeks intensive workshop was to work towards the development of the sector. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/474867-ajaokuta-steel-company-will-be-completed-soon-official.html 1 Like |

So the UAE ''produced rain'' using technology and drones to spark electrical reactions in clouds which resulted in rain. Congratulations to them. But please, how does this concern Nigeria? Oh wait, you see Nigeria as an oil producing country ''just like UAE''? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha...  I laugh in Zulu. Mass ignorance is a serious problem in this country. Listen up. Never EVER mention UAE and Nigeria in the same breath when talking about oil. Here are the facts, and here is why expecting Nigeria to ''create rain'' or ''manufacture rain'', because UAE did so, is foolish in the extreme. UAE Population: 9 million Proven Oil Reserves: 98.7 billion barrels Production, (million barrels per year) 1,133.7 UAE Annual Budget: 167 billion US dollars https://www.mof.gov.ae/en/resourcesandbudget/fedralbudget/pages/budget2020.aspx . . Nigeria Population: 210 million Proven Oil Reserves: 37.5 billion barrels Production, (million barrels per year) 730 Nigeria Annual Budget: 35 billion US dollars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_proven_oil_reserves ........ Given the above statistics, why would UAE not be able to create rain? What else are they doing with their money? If 9 million people are sharing a budget that is 8 TIMES the budget of 210 million strong Nigeria, why would you expect Nigeria to be as rich and developed as them? Please, Nigerians, know your mates. UAE is not your mate when it comes to money or oil and spending. So if you see them creating fire from water, or creating rain from sunlight, or gold from sand and clay, just look and smile, and stop beating yourselves up, for that is the height of supreme idiocy.

Educationalserv:Thank you very much. This is what I'm talking about. Alhassan Dantata did not say to his family, ''I worked for my millions, go and work for yours..'' He built a family corporation, in which financial resources were shared freely for business pursuits, leading to multiple millionaires, billionaires, and business tycoons in the family. That's why they are such a powerful and influential family today, and of course, are long time members of the Kaduna Mafia. I can't think of ONE Igbo family that has done this with its wealth. |

saajus:This is about sharing money and resources within their families to make their families more powerful and multi-generational. Think the Rothschilds. They can then combine with similar families to create Kaduna mafia - type entities that influence national policy from behind the scenes. This is about power politics, the way the big boys of the world play it, not this stuff you people are typing here about your apprenticeship systems for poor people. The Kaduna Mafia has families which joined in the 1930s, and are still active today. Dynasties. Wealth passed through generations. Among Igbos it's more a case of when the big shot dies, it all goes downhill. You'll see his family fighting over his known possessions. Unknown possessions, such as some of his foreign accounts, disappear for good. The entire family must be made a corporation, so that the passing of the founder does not lead to the demise of the corporation and its interests. Think the Gambino family. For this, the mentality of ''I suffered for my money, go and suffer for yours'' is inappropriate and counter-productive. |
| Politics › Re: Igbo Slaves Built The Great Wall (Moat) Of Benin - Reno Omokri (Pic) by rosinkkit: 9:44pm On Jul 23, 2021 |
Fred Pearce wrote the following about the Benin City wall in the science magazine New Scientist: “In all, they are four times longer than the Great Wall of China and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops. They took an estimated 150 million hours to construct and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet.” The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as “the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era”. Benin City was one of the first cities on Earth to have a semblance of street lighting, with huge metal lamps, many feet high, built and placed around the city. In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon. All the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown, and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.” In his personal account, 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper wrote, “Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other. Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.” “[The walls are] as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water,” he continued. https://thisisafrica.me/politics-and-society/african-marvels-the-walls-of-benin/ ............................ Show our colonised countrymen the above underlined when next they show you some stupid colonial contraption from 1907 as the ''first storey bullding in Nigeria''. |

EMMY76:Well, who knows? Could have been a powerful figure with supernatural powers, of whom they were many in antiquity. But the accepted history is that the wall was built over a 300 year period and finally completed by Oba Ewuare in the 1400s. According to Wiki The Walls of Benin are a series of earthworks made up of banks and ditches, called Iya in the Edo language, in the area around present-day Benin City, the capital of present-day Edo, Nigeria. They consist of 15 km (9.3 mi) of city iya and an estimated 16,000 kilometres (9,900 miles) of rural iya in the area around Benin. The 'walls' of Benin City and surrounding areas were described as "the world's largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era" by the Guinness book of Records. Some estimates suggest that the walls of Benin may have been constructed between the thirteenth and mid-fifteenth century CE and others suggest that the walls of Benin (in the Esan region) may have been constructed during the first millennium CE. The 'walls' of Benin City and surrounding areas were described as "the world's largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era" by the Guinness book of Records. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vc0fNOPlbdo/maxresdefault.jpg History First Encounters with the West and Records The Benin City walls have been known to Westerners since around 1500. Around 1500, the Portuguese explorer Duarte Pacheco Pereira, briefly described the walls during his travels. Another description given around 1600, one hundred years after Pereira's description, is by the Dutch explorer Dierick Ruiters. Pereira's account of the walls is as follows: ''This city is about a league long from gate to gate; it has no wall but is surrounded by a large moat, very wide and deep, which suffices for its defence.'' The archaeologist Graham Connah suggests that Pereira was mistaken with his description by saying that there was no wall. Connah says, "[Pereira] considered that a bank of earth was not a wall in the sense of the Europe of his day." Ruiters' account of the walls is as follows: At the gate where I entered on horseback, I saw a very high bulwark, very thick of earth, with a very deep broad ditch....That gate is a reasonable good gate, made of wood in their manner, which is to be shut, and there always there is watch holden.'' Construction Estimates for the initial construction of the walls range from the first millennium CE to the mid-fifteenth century CE. According to Connah, ... [traditional history] and travelers' accounts suggest a construction date of 1450-1500 CE. It has been estimated that, assuming a 10-hour work day, a labour force of 5,000 men could have completed the walls within 97 days, or by 2,421 men in 200 days. However, these estimates have been criticized for not taking into account the time it would have taken to extract earth from an ever deepening hole and the time it would have taken to heap the earth into a high bank. Description The walls were built of a ditch and dike structure; the ditch dug to form an inner moat with the excavated earth used to form the exterior rampart. The Benin Walls were demolished by the British during the Benin Expedition of 1897. Scattered pieces of the structure remain in Edo, with the vast majority of them being used by the locals for building purposes. What remains of the wall itself continues to be torn down for real estate developments. Ethnomathematician Ron Eglash has discussed the planned layout of the city using fractals as the basis, not only in the city itself and the villages but even in the rooms of houses. He commented that "When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganised and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walls_of_Benin On the 11th of September 1999, popular science writer who had reported on the environment, popular science and development issues from 64 countries over the past 20 years, Fred Pearce, talked about the Walls Of Benin which he published in an article in the widely read science magazine, The New Scientist. He stated that: “They extend for some 16,000km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They cover 2, 510 sq. miles (6, 500 square kilometers) and were all dug by the Edo people.” “In all, they are four times longer than the Great Wall of China and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops. They took an estimated 150 million hours .... to construct and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet.” https://vocalafrica.com/walls-of-benin/ |
