Schooling??! Hehehehe.... Don't you just wish. Lol.

Not trying to actually shut you down. That's my polite way of suppressing a yawn.

Oh sure, I'm schooling you. It will take 100 billion dollars and 20 yrs MINIMUM for Nigeria to have stable power. FACT. So anything else you say, from ''feeling shame'' - a daft reaction since it's not a crime to be poor - to cursing the govt or people of Nigeria, to calling Nigeria a 'shithole' etc etc is a worthless, fruitless exercise.

What folks like you should be doing is devising little ways to provide electricity to small communities here and there via sola, wind, waste, biogas, and other renewable energy sources. The electricity shortage is actually a huge opportunity for sharp entrepreneurs. You could set up a school to train people in renewable energy, and make it big. You could set up a small wind farm that powers 50 to 100 homes. Again, big money for you. See how much better that is than sitting somewhere feeling 'shame' that Nigeria has power issues, and abusing the government?

Culture › Re: Did Our Ancestors Practice Mummification? by Rosskiki(op): 11:59pm On Dec 12, 2019

I suspect the practice of mummification died out in Egypt and Nubia several centuries before the migrations of blacks southwards, and so there would be no replicating of that tradition in their new abodes.

But there is an interesting counter from South Africa, where an ancient mummy was found:

''The first mummy to be discovered in South Africa was found in the Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area by Dr. Johan Binneman in 1999. Nicknamed Moses, the mummy was estimated to be around 2,000 years old. After being linked to the indigenous Khoi culture of the region, the National Council of Khoi Chiefs of South Africa began to make legal demands that the mummy be returned shortly after the body was moved to the Albany Museum in Grahamstown.''

Culture › Did Our Ancestors Practice Mummification? by Rosskiki(op): 10:54pm On Dec 12, 2019

We know black Africans have an ancient history of mummification of the dead, as seen in the histories of Egypt and Nubia amongst other great black civilizations of antiquity.

My question is, is there any record of this practice in the abodes to which they later migrated, such as West and Central/East Africa?

Thanks.

I seriously doubt we have just 5 jet fighters in active service. Where are you getting your information from? Care to share a link?
In any case we need to start manufacturing our own fighter jets. I honestly don't think the problem is lack of know-how. Nigeria has some of the best educated people on the face of the earth.

Like I said sir... I am really not in that mood.

Enjoy your "power cuts", and respectfully allow me wallow in my "shame"!!!...

Your futile efforts to make me see sense in your endorsement of mediocrity are well noted and even reluctantly respected. Thank you.

I'm not endorsing mediocrity. Simply being realistic. Get this. Nigeria needs 100 BILLION USD in investments to ensure 24 hour power supply for its 200 million people. This figure comes direct from industry stakeholders.

''The Nigeria Electricity Supply Industry, NESI, requires investments of over $100 billion in the next 20 years, if the country, Nigeria must have 24 hours of electricity supply daily, stakeholders in the power sector have said.''

https://allafrica.com/stories/201906210463.html

Do you know Nigeria's annual budget based on her current income?

$35 billion.

Out of that $35 billion, over half is for recurrent expenditure - salaries, debt servicing etc.

Get this. In all likelihood, you will not see 24/7 power supply in Nigeria in your lifetime.

It will happen at some point, but it will take decades of investment.

The figures speak for themselves. You can continue feeling ''shame'' out of wilful ignorance or a natural inferiority complex, but if you were wise, you'd get beyond that, free your mind of negativity and 'disappointment', accept you're from a developing country, and contribute to the nation's development, while enjoying your life as best you can.

Please, go play with your fellow sycophants. I'm really not in the mood for tantrums.

What shame? Shame in what? Keep living in ''shame''. That makes you an ignorant fool. Like i said, MAJORITY of nations on earth experience power cuts. THEY do not live in ''shame'' because they know their nations are still in development. Your ''shame'' is caused by your colonial mentality that tells you you ''OUGHT'' to have 24 hrs power like France and Germany after a few decades of independence. Educate yourself and you will no longer feel ''shame''.

"Do You Have Power Supply In Your Vicinity?"

Just imagine the question Nigerians are asking themselves far into the 21st Century... Someone abroad would think an earthquake or landslide occurred... These same youths will still defend their leaders and politicians, even fight and kill for them.

Sigh... How did it get this unfortunate??!...

Someone ''abroad'?

Where is ''abroad''?

''Abroad'' for you means ''western countries''.

Your colonial history has brainwashed you into thinking ''abroad'' means ''the developed world''. Europe. America. Japan.

But the developed world comprises less than 20% of the world. Majority of nations on earth are developing nations, and they ALL experience power cuts, bad roads, corruption, et al.

You Nigerians should stop bleaching your skins, stop worshiping white people, and start travelling to the non-western world, where majority of the world lives, for holidays and business instead of always London, New York, and 'Dubai'.

Travel to Peru. Travel to Honduras, Jamaica, Tanzania, Grenada, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Cambodia, Djibouti, Burundi, Myanmar, Guatemala, Chile, Uganda, Madagascar, Belize, Barbados, Rwanda, Haiti, Brazil, Senegal, Jordan, Lesotho, Namibia, Bangladesh, Mexico, Gambia, Suriname, Seychelles, Zambia, Mali. It is your fellow human beings that live there. Those places too are ''abroad''.

When you REALLY start to travel ''ABROAD'', as opposed to the narrow band of countries you've been conditioned to worship, you will discover that there is nothing unique about Nigeria's situation as a developing country. That there is nothing to be ashamed of in being a developing nation. That the overwhelming majority of countries are still on a path to development.

So long as '' abroad'' to you people means ''London'', or ''Paris'', or ''Los Angeles'', or ''Dubai'', you will continue being disgruntled and unhappy, and feeling you are an inferior, 'cursed' people, till you your last day on earth.

The same British ruled America, but America defeated them and became the most powerful country on planet Earth today.

Even the so-called Britain keeps quiet when America speaks.

Nigeria is not a serious country.

Stop this nonsense of ''other places were colonised too''. That shows a blindness to, and ignorance of the fact that colonialists did NOT treat their colonies 'equally'. Some colonies were seen as potential/actual settlements for their own people, eg USA, Canada, South Africa etc. In those countries they reinvested into the economy the proceeds from exports of natural resources. They built infrastructure, and strong institutions/public services.

In OTHER colonies, especially black Africa, they did nothing but loot. This was why most of black Africa was bush in 1960, despite a century of European rule. This continent only began to develop after independence.

Do other governors from the East not build tarred roads to their houses while they neglect roads that are more important. Why is only Kalu being singled out ?Does it hurt your brain or that of the OP that all governors In Nigeria, most especially those from the East with the exception of none are die hard criminals ?

Highly developed nations don't even spend half of what we spend in Nigeria on more mega project . What a cursed people! What a cursed nation!

Nigeria cannot be good in this generation and soon our kids will begin to sue us for raising them in Nigeria.

Typical loud mouth, airhead dunce. Don't go and RESEARCH to see what ''highly developed nations'' spend on infrastructure and other things per year, before typing ignorant rubbish. The USA with its annual budget of nearly 5 TRILLION dollars, what is a 5.4 billion dollar rail project to them?

As we speak there is a contract to upgrade the La Guardia airport in New York city, for 8 billion dollars. Just one airport.

O'Hare airport, Chicago, is also undergoing renovation, for another 8.8 billion USD.

In New York City, a new subway line being built, called the Second Avenue Subway, is costing 17.7 billion dollars.

In Seattle, northern United States, a rail network is being built that is costing 54.4 billion dollars.

The California high speed rail network being built is costing 77 billion dollars.

https://mycomply.net/info/blog/top-5-united-states-construction-projects-in-2019/

So what was that you were saying about Nigeria being 'cursed' because she spends 5 billion dollars on projects which ''highly developed nations'' don't spend anywhere near? Even dumber are the 32+ ignorant airheads who 'liked' your comments. Anti-research elements.

Britons can say the same about their leaders, like Tony Blair and America's George W Bush, whose actions led to the death of a million Iraqis, and cost thousands of American and British lives, all based on official lies about WMDs in Iraq.

But if you go on the US or UK forums you will NEVER find anyone from those countries calling for the death or assassination of those leaders.

It is comments like this that make me sympathise with that hate speech bill. Nigeria is not ripe for free speech. In America or Britain where there is relatively free speech, people do not type stuff like this. They are disciplined, and they self-censure. In Nigeria the reverse is the case. Free speech is seen as licence to call for others' assassination or demise, including the president's.

Continue decieving yourself

Only a little kid will say Nigeria has made no progress.

Even as late as the 1990s many of us conducted serious business without phone. Imagine travelling by plane from Enugu to Lagos to see a business partner to discuss a deal, only to be told on arrival that he'd travelled to London. That was a normal thing. Today, a simple free Whassap call or Skype meeting sorts everything. Today you can start an entire business on your phone, and gather clients from all over the world in a matter of weeks or even days. Compare that to your great grandpa, who was most likely an illiterate village peasant stuck to a farm.

We've made progress.

Lagos Airport. Is that one an airport? Considering the amount of international and domestic flights out of that place alone, the airport should be an icon of Nigeria. But no the airport is so useless. If you want to see what airport looks like, you can I mean ones that meet world standards then go to Frankfurt Airport or the one in Seoul South Korea or even Minnesota Airport or Heathrow. That airport in Lagos is so useless and backward. Airport security collect bribe openly. My question as always been that considering all the money that airport makes from both domestic and international carriers and higr airport traffic in that airport wher does all money go to? Your guess is as good as mine. Not only uber but the airport itself should be banned. What a sensible agency should have done was to have a meeting with all the ride sharing agencies and look for the way forward. For example many U. S airports now require ride sharing services to pick up and drop off at designated areas and not anywhere. It's called curb side management.

The MMA is undergoing a massive expansion programme.
