Parachoko:They prefer Tinubu to build breweries like Obi. |
ALL NIGERIANS WHO SUPPORT THE GAZA GENOCIDE ARE EVIL MONSTERS. THROW YOUR BIBLES IN THE DUSTBIN. THEY MEAN NOTHING TO YOU. |
LordLicifer:SHUT UP. YOU ARE A BORN LIAR BY CALLING ENTIRE INNOCENT POPULATIONS BEING SLAUGHTERED "TERRORISTS". |
FSBoperator:GARBAGE. THE ANCIENT ISRAELITES WERE BLACK AFRICANS. THEIR IMAGES ARE STILL VISIBLE TODAY ON TEMPLE WALLS. |
Judemarco31:Funny 😁 |
Ofemannnu:Stop talking nonsense. Africans INVENTED AND PIONEERED the mining of minerals on this Earth by a factor of THOUSANDS of years. The Nubian mines of Sudan are the world's oldest mines, dating back over 5,000 years. The Mali Empire was a renowned centre of gold and iron ore production at scale. How DARE you say that without Europeans who emerged from their caves yesterday, we wouldn't know what we had underground? This is the same colonial miseducation system that has relegated you to newcomers to civilisation instead of your truth as the Builders of CIVILISATION. IRON SMELTING ITSELF WAS INVENTED IN NIGERIA. You can visit the site at LEJJA, NSUKKA. Full evidence of heavy iron smelting and manufacturing AT SCALE. You will see the iron slag waste weighing countless tons on the ground. It's on Google Images if you want to see it. And the site was dated by scientists to almost 3000 BC! It's because you don't know your African history that you feel less than "oyinbo". And think they "civilised you". The world's oldest mathematical object is the Lebombo Bone discovered in CONGO and carbon-dated to 25,000 BCE. It had markings on it that showed evidence of the use of multiplication, division, and even prime numbers! Without Africa the entire World would still be in the STONE AGE. |
My question to AI Is this deal exploitation by USA? ................. The solid minerals framework agreement signed between Nigeria and the United States is not inherently an act of exploitation, but rather a strategic partnership. Whether it becomes exploitative or mutually beneficial depends entirely on how the terms of the contract are enforced and executed on the ground. ------------------------------ What is the Nigeria–US Mineral Pact? Signed in New York City by Nigerian Solid Minerals Minister Dele Alake and US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau, the agreement is a framework designed to attract American capital into Nigeria’s underdeveloped mining sector, which holds resources estimated at $700 billion (including lithium, gold, and iron ore). The agreement explicitly covers: * Geological data sharing and exploration mapping. * Technical capacity building and infrastructure development. * Local processing and mineral development. ------------------------------ ## 🤝 The Case for Partnership (Why it's not viewed as exploitation) The Nigerian government explicitly structured the agreement to avoid the traditional "extractive" or exploitative traps of past resource deals. * Mandatory Local Value Addition: Minister Dele Alake explicitly stated, "Nigeria cannot remain a source of raw materials while others capture most of the value." The deal explicitly focuses on local processing, meaning raw lithium or gold cannot simply be shipped out; processing plants must be built in Nigeria to create local jobs. * Economic Diversification: Nigeria is attempting to break its heavy reliance on crude oil. Unlocking its $700 billion solid minerals sector with US capital allows the country to build a more robust economy. * Leverage in Geopolitical Competition: The US is aggressively playing catch-up with China, which currently dominates Nigeria's lithium and critical mineral supply chains. This competition gives Nigeria leverage to demand better terms, technology transfers, and higher environmental standards from both Western and Asian investors. ------------------------------ ## ⚠️ The Case for Skepticism (Why critics worry about exploitation) Historically, resource agreements between wealthy Western nations and African countries have left room for caution. Skeptics highlight several risks: * Asymmetry of Power: Historically, multinational corporations hold vastly more legal, financial, and political power than local regulatory bodies, which can sometimes lead to skewed profit-sharing. * Environmental Degradation: Mining critical minerals like lithium is highly resource-intensive and can cause severe ecological damage, water pollution, and displacement of local communities if environmental laws are poorly enforced. * The "Resource Curse": Critics worry that without strict anti-corruption measures, local governance transparency, and a solution to regional insecurity, the wealth generated from these minerals may benefit political elites and foreign corporations rather than ordinary Nigerian citizens. ## ⚖️ The Bottom Line The agreement itself does not grant ownership of the minerals to America; it establishes a legal freeway for business-to-business transactions. If Nigeria successfully enforces its local processing mandates and holds US companies to high environmental and labor standards, the deal could be a massive economic win. However, if regulatory enforcement is weak, it risks falling into older, historical patterns of raw material extraction. - AI .................. Translation: You people underestimate Nigeria. NIGERIA does not sign and has never signed those types of contracts that hand over resources to imperialist powers. Maybe if you are talking about all those Francophone African countries where they dash everything they have to France, then you may have a point. BUT NOT WITH THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA. The agreement must be solid with Nigeria in all cases. As the AI, everything boils to the seriousness of Nigerians on ground to ensure the arrangement works. |
Akerele44:Help me ask them, please. Confused set of people. They do weekly Sit At Home to leave Nigeria. Yet they want to produce the President of Nigeria. Make that Make Sense! |
Wizardslayer:SHUT UP THERE. NOBODY STOPPED YOU FROM GOING. EVEN BUHARI SAID "RETURN TO YOUR HOLE IN A CIRCLE", UNA NO GREE. UNA STILL DEY RUN COME LAGOS. ![]() |
Nnamdipapa:And who exactly is this daddy freeze? Does he have a job? What does he do? |
PlasmaTV:STORY. ALL THE BILLIONS THEY COLLECTED WENT ON ROBOTIC, ABI? UNA NO WELL. AWON OLE! |
Of course an Igbo person will be president of Nigeria. But it has to be a more accomplished and capable person than Obi. |
Kalashnikov49:They're all on the same side. You're just not smart enough to see it. The two parties in America are two sides of the same coin, controlled by the same 'deep state'. That's why their warmongering and imperialist policies are the same, no matter which party is in power. One day you go get sense. Why do you think the "Democrats" are so silent in the face of Trump's atrocities? So called "opposition"? |
Unbiased1:SHUT UP AND STOP TALKING RUBBISH. There is such a thing called Proportionate Response. You don't slaughter 150,000 civilians in Response to the slaughter of 1,200. Was it you that created all those people you're slaughtering? Do you know they are God's children? What religion do you practise that supports disproportionate Response and genocide when even the Eye for an Eye principle of the Old Testament was considered too harsh in the New Testament? Your 1,000 eyes for an eye...whose law is that? Your arrogance will get you nowhere. When you die and stand before God to answer questions for your promotion and support of mass murder, there will be no Trump or Netanyahu there to protect you, okay? You will learn that you weren't created by Trump or Netanyahu, and that you're answerable to far higher powers than them. |
HacheNoire:There are people on this forum who would support Trump even he raped their wives or their mothers and sisters. He has an occultic hold on them. Many say he's the antichrist long predicted... Because this is not natural. How can a leader be so openly cruel, evil, corrupt, lawless, arrogant, bloodthirsty and barbaric, and yet people love, adore and support him? That's never happened on Earth before. |
Unbiased1:THAT'S A DEMENTED VIEW. YOU NEED PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT. YOU SUPPORT THE SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS AND YOU HAVE THE TEMERITY TO SAY THERE'S NO KARMA? YOU WILL LEARN INSIDE THAT YOUR SKULL ONE DAY THAT THERE IS KARMA. OKAY? |
ojbanja:The problem with this idea is Conflict of Interests. Where does he draw the line between what is Dangote Group Plc work, and what is FG work? The confusion would drive him mad. He is even talking about investing in the power sector now! Haven't even added the political minefield of multiple competing interests he must manage as president, and the deep political skills required for that. Abeg just leave the man to do his business. So long as he continues to be supported by FG in his industrial concerns, that's fine for us. |
mysticwarrior:EXACTLY. You know the deal. She might even be a narcissist who deliberately is rude or provokes him when he's already fuming over something, just to get a reaction from him. Then when he slaps her, she will say he slapped her because Man U lost. Because no man will just enter the house and start beating his wife because his team lost a match. That's a big lie. |
Kukutente23:🤣🤣🤣 |
jmoore:If they were unemployed would he send them to the farm? |
Obaofaba:Don't mind him. ![]() |
ChukwuObe:Same thing I was thinking. He should sell his wife's $150,000 designer handbags and send her to the farm. Afterall women do go to farm. He himself should join her on the farm with his cutlass. |
osuofia2:But our leaders have built 300 universities in 60 years of independence while they built 1 University in 80 years of colonisation. BASICALLY our leaders LOOT at most 30% of the budget. The British looted 95% of the budget. You que to get visas to their countries to do the least of jobs.Indians and Pakistanis are in their countries 10 times more than us. THEY looted thousands of trillions from the global south using guns and bombs, leaving us with poverty, so why should we not go to their country WHERE OUR MONEY IS? Huh? Huh? Your generation would have probably been in the jungle if not for their coming.BENIN CITY which was invaded, bombarded and looted by the British in 1897 had street lights 300 years before London, had underground drainage, had ZERO CRIME to the extent that visiting Portuguese and Dutch traders wrote in the 1600s that they built their houses without front doors because "theft was unknown". Today in your ex British colony, can you build a house without a massive fence, huge gate, barbed wire, plus aboki gateman? Can you go around without fear of robbers, kidnappers, bandits and terrorists? You know the answer to that. The western education they brought through the Missionary activities and colonial policies introduced modern schooling systems, which raised literacy rates and created a class of literate local administrators.WE HAD OUR OWN WORKING VERSIONS OF ALL THOSE THINGS BEFORE THEY CAME HERE. Healthcare and urbanization: Introduction of Western medicine, hospitals, and urban planning transformed major administrative centers.BENIN CITY AND OTHER PRECOLONIAL URBAN AREAS WAS BUILT with sophisticated African fractal mathematics unknown to Europe until the 20th century. railways, roads, and ports primarily to extract and transport raw materials, which inadvertently laid foundational domestic trade routes.WE HAD DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE ROUTES BEFORE COLONIAL INVASION. Do you know we manufactured glass and even exported manufactured soap to Europe before the colonial invasions? In a place called Igbo-Olokun near Ile-Ife, they recently discovered a massive glass manufacturing site dated to over a THOUSAND years, complete with the glass objects in various colours and shapes. You have a lot to learn. Railways could have been introduced through trade and economic diplomacy. They didn't need to invade, slaughter and colonise your ancestors and loot 50 trillion dollars of your resources to introduce railway. STOP LOOKING DOWN ON YOURSELF, OKAY? YOU'RE NOT AN INFERIOR BEING. YOUR ANCESTORS INVENTED MATHEMATICS, ARCHITECTURE, PHILOSOPHY, RELIGION, LAW, WRITING, ASTRONOMY. In your next door neighbour Sudan, the land of ancient Nubia, sit over 300 pyramids and temples thousands of years older than any building in Europe or America. IN LEJJA, NSUKKA sits the world's oldest Iron Smelting site, discovered recently and carbon-dated to 2650 BCE. That's roughly 2,000 years before Greece, the first white civilisation. Iron Smelting is the technology of extracting metal from ore using specific heating principles, and is the foundation of the modern world we enjoy today. Every spoon, car, bike, plane, train, fridge, computer, phone, exists today because of the invention of Iron Smelting in LEJJA, NSUKKA, NIGERIA. You can confirm all this on AI or Google it. WITHOUT THE BLACK AFRICAN, THE ENTIRE WORLD WOULD BE LIVING IN CAVES OF THE STONE AGE. Now run along and stop feeling inferior to the races you pulled out of the caves. |
Napata77:Christianity is the JUJU they used on them to turn them mumu. Same as Islam, the JUJU the Arabs used to turn northerners mumu. Both regions worshipping their respective invaders till today. Only GOD can rid them of this mental slavery. |
magoo10:VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE US SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPS COLLECT BRIBES FROM AIPAC, THE ISRAELI LOBBY, TO SUPPORT ISRAEL'S GENOCIDAL MILITARY OPPRESSION OF GAZA. AND HER EXPANSIONIST AGENDA. SO THEY ARE VERY, VERY CORRUPT. OBI HANGING AROUND THEM IS EXTREMELY SINISTER, AND WE DON'T NEED HIM AS OUR PRESIDENT. |
Nefort:Is Nigeria US CHINA FRANCE RUSSIA CAMBODIA AND INDIA AND MEXICO? NIGERIA IS NIGERIA. GO AND SLEEP. JOBLESS YOUTH. |
This man is starting to constitute nuisance in this land. He needs to return to his Dubai palace and stop disturbing people. |
Chucks13:You're indeed a wise man Forget their useless propaganda. "WORLD LEADERS" my foot. |
