googi:You are roping too many time epochs into one in order to create a single chosen narrative, that Africans sold out themselves etc. In the 1330s and for 500 years after that, Africans had no reason to fear, and experienced no major foreign invasions. They were militarily powerful. They had gold. What to do? Just keep the gold and hide it, out of fear that (500 years later) they would be invaded by powerful, greedy Europeans?? Of what profit would that be to them? Gold, like other treasures, are traded for profit. So they had to showcase their wares to a world largely ignorant about West and Central Africa. The reason Europeans invaded the continent centuries later was pure greed allied to military superiority. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't blame Africans for that. |

googi:This is a very unfair and misleading analysis. Mana Musa lived in the 1330s! A full 500 years before the colonial drive to grab the riches of Africa. In HIS TIME and long afterwards, no power on earth could defeat the Mali Empire. So he had the military power. He had wealth. What his empire lacked was exposure - for the outside world to know the Mali Empire - and increase trade and diplomatic relations thereby. So how do you do that? How do you show the world you are worthy to deal with? Remember this was in the days before modern media, internet, radio, TV, etc. What you do is exactly what Mansa Musa did. You send an impressive entourage laden with gold, silk and fine horses, to the nearest cosmopolitan hub. At the time - Cairo, Egypt. And it paid off for his empire. He returned to Mali with new trade commitments from various nations, and was followed back by numerous intellectuals including architects and surveyors. The visit definitely increased the number of international students who studied at Mali's elite universities. So please, don't use Mansa Musa the Great as a stick to beat Africans with. He was a superb leader who brought great wealth, peace, prosperity, and international reckoning to his empire. 2 Likes |

ernieboy:You are WRONG. Manufacturing DOES NOT have to ''start from design stage''. Anybody can design the product. You do not rewrite the rules of industry just to suit your inferiority complex. Assembly is the SAME THING as manufacturing. That is why in the US, car manufacturing plants are called auto assembly plants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_automotive_assembly_plants_in_the_United_States Most car plants import or buy locally, the various components they use to assemble their vehicles. NONE make all the parts themselves, not least because that would be economically unviable for any firm. THERE IS NO DIFFERENTIATION between ''assembly'' and ''manufacturing'' anywhere on earth, except among ignorant people in Nigeria. ASSEMBLY LINE: ''An assembly line is a manufacturing process (often called a progressive assembly) in which parts (usually interchangeable parts) are added as the semi-finished assembly moves from workstation to workstation where the parts are added in sequence until the final assembly is produced. By mechanically moving the parts to the assembly work and moving the semi-finished assembly from work station to work station, a finished product can be assembled faster and with less labor than by having workers carry parts to a stationary piece for assembly. Assembly lines are common methods of assembling complex items such as automobiles and other transportation equipment, household appliances and electronic goods.'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_line innoson simply imports them as knocked downs and assemblesWRONG. Innoson started off by doing that, but over the last decade, they have built several factories at their Nnewi plant which now produce most of those components here in Nigeria, plus they source components from other local manufacturers, so that the local content in every INNOSON vehicle today is over 70%. 2 Likes |

''The company runs its plant in Nnewi, Anambra State, with 70 percent of the car parts produced locally, while the rest are sourced from Japan, China, and Germany. Innoson vehicles are currently being used in some West African countries like Mali, Sierra Leone and Ghana.'' http://venturesafrica.com/is-zimbabwe-about-to-lose-its-biggest-foreign-donor/ ''Over 60% of the parts used are sourced locally, creating employment opportunities via local manufacturing of components. Inaugurated in 2010, IVM has produced thousands of automobiles to date, ranging from heavy-duty vehicles, patrol vans, pick-up vans, SUVs, mini and long buses and saloon cars. These automobile products are quite affordable compared to the foreign brands and are also built to cruise easily on the Nigerian roads.'' https://themarketmogul.com/innoson-vehicle-manufacturing-first-made-nigeria-cars/ 3 Likes |

EgunMogaji2:Stop talking rubbish. Assembly is the EXACT SAME THING as manufacturing. It is a uniquely Nigerian ignorance that claims otherwise. All over the world, car manufacturing plants are known as car ASSEMBLY plants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_automotive_assembly_plants_in_the_United_States Here: Dictionary: Manufacturing: The process of converting raw materials, components, or parts into finished goods that meet a customer's expectations or specifications.

We lack nothing in this country in terms of intellectual ability. All we need is confidence. There are some private companies in this same world that are releasing prototypes of flying cars, as we speak. These will get more popular in the coming years. No reason we cannot join that level by getting into R & D now, and becoming the future suppliers of all Africa and beyond. |

It is to be used to assemble locomotives, coaches, wagons and diesel multiple-units for domestic use, as well as for export to other countries in West Africa. The plant is being built under a March 2018 agreement between the Ministry of Transportation and the local subsidiary of China Civil Engineering Construction Corp. The Chinese company selected the site for the plant, which it said would undertake production processes including welding, assembly, painting and testing, with a capacity of 500 vehicles per year. https://d1c4d7gnm6as1q.cloudfront.net/Pictures/480xAny/1/8/4/28184_nigerianrollingstockplantgroundbreakingceremony2_984969.jpg Nigerian rolling stock plant groundbreaking ceremony The first batch of wagons to be built would be used for freight services on the 1 435 mm gauge Lagos — Ibadan and Abuja — Kaduna routes, with passenger vehicles to follow. ‘By linking our ports to rail lines and now, building the rolling stock locally, import and export business within and outside of Africa’s largest market will be completely transformed’, said Osinbanjo. He said a commitment to local recruitment ‘affirms the President’s directives on prioritising Nigerians and Nigerian businesses in the innovation, production and procurement of engineering projects.’ https://www.railwaygazette.com/business/construction-of-nigerian-rolling-stock-factory-begins/55094.article |

Nigeria Begins Export of Military Hardware Erwan de Cherisey, Paris - Jane's Defence Weekly Nigerian defence manufacturer Proforce has signed a contract for the sale of 20 of its new Ara 2 mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles. Ara 2 MRAP https://www.janes.com/images/assets/877/89877/p1748657.jpg The company did not wish to disclose the name of the customer, only acknowledging that the purchase was made by an African country. However, a source with knowledge of the deal told Jane’s that the client is Chad. According to the same source, the deal was finalised in June 2019 and deliveries are expected to begin before the end of the year in successive batches of five vehicles. Chadian interest in the Ara 2 was reportedly prompted when Chadian President Idriss Déby observed Nigerian Police Proforce PF2 armoured vehicles in Abuja during a visit last year. Talks were then held in Chad regarding the Chadian Army’s need for MRAPs, which eventually led to the capital N’Djamena’s decision to procure the Ara 2. https://www.janes.com/article/89877/nigeria-s-proforce-gets-first-mrap-export-order 1 Like 3 Shares |

We know of no such arrangements with Innoson. You must be new to how big business operates. I would say this new plant is absolutely fantastic, and is another indicator that Nigeria is fully on the path to industrialisation. A few years ago on this forum, this development would have been discussed as a Nigerian achievement far and above an 'Igbo' achievement. I think the emphasis on ethnicity diminishes us.

You are a white racist who infested this forum long ago and is here to demean Africans. "Stealing land" has nothing to do with prosperity. Stop being stewpid. Land is just land, until you add value to it.Really? So why didn't the Israelis just go and acquire some virgin territory in the desert? Why did they have to go and seize/rob millions of Palestinians of their ancestral land? A crime that persists till today? You are a demonic liar, but your lies will deceive nobody here. Israel has huge reserves of natural gas directly off their coast, that has powered their economy for decades. They got that because they stole valuable land belonging to the Palestinians. And Israel's land is not particularly endowed. They added value to their land with their ingenuity and industry.It is NOT ''their land''. See, you are a shameless thief and vandal yourself, so you see nothing wrong in claiming the property of others as yours. Just as you stole a Nigerian's identity and claimed it as yours even though you are a white boy neo nazi skinhead racist sent here to insult Africans.

| Literature › Re: The Simple Reason Why Wole Soyinka Won The Nobel Literature Prize Of 1986 by Rosskiki: 2:55am On Nov 17, 2019 |
Amazing profile of a genius: Wole Soyinka is a Nigerian playwright, poet and essayist. He was awarded the 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature, the first African to be honoured in that category. .. In 1954, he attended Government College in Ibadan, and subsequently University College Ibadan and the University of Leeds in England. After studying in Nigeria and the UK, he worked with the Royal Court Theatre in London. He went on to write plays that were produced in both countries, in theatres and on radio. He took an active role in Nigeria's political history and its struggle for independence from Great Britain. In 1965, he seized the Western Nigeria Broadcasting Service studio and broadcast a demand for the cancellation of the Western Nigeria Regional Elections. In 1967, during the Nigerian Civil War, he was arrested by the federal government of General Yakubu Gowon and put in solitary confinement for two years. Soyinka has been a strong critic of successive Nigerian governments.... Much of his writing has been concerned with "the oppressive boot and the irrelevance of the colour of the foot that wears it". During the regime of General Sani Abacha (1993–98), Soyinka escaped from Nigeria on a motorcycle via the "NADECO Route." Abacha later proclaimed a death sentence against him "in absentia." With civilian rule restored to Nigeria in 1999, Soyinka returned to his nation. In Nigeria, Soyinka was a Professor of Comparative Literature (1975 to 1999) at the Obafemi Awolowo University, then called the University of Ife. With civilian rule restored to Nigeria in 1999, he was made professor emeritus. While in the United States, he first taught at Cornell University as Goldwin Smith professor for African Studies and Theatre Arts from 1988 to 1991 and then at Emory University, where in 1996 he was appointed Robert W. Woodruff Professor of the Arts. Soyinka has been a Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and has served as scholar-in-residence at New York University's Institute of African American Affairs and at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California, US. He has also taught at the universities of Oxford, Harvard and Yale. Soyinka was also a Distinguished Scholar in Residence at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, in 2008. In December 2017, he was awarded the Europe Theatre Prize in the "Special Prize" category awarded to someone who has “contributed to the realization of cultural events that promote understanding and the exchange of knowledge between peoples”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wole_Soyinka |

gidgiddy:You say ''despite'' as if their atrocities are somehow a hindrance to them. It is precisely because of their oppression and theft of others' lands - trampling on the weak - while receiving billions of $ in US aid - astronomical for a nation of just 8 million people, that they are ''doing well as a country'', or even existing as a country. Imagine today that the people of Ikoyi used their mega money to organise the expulsion of everyone from Lagos mainland in order to claim it for a new ''Ikoyi republic''.. And they achieve this through war, massacres, and land seizures, slaughtering millions and displacing millions more, and then a few years later, the entire mainland looks like Ikoyi, with a few rich people populating it, while the former residents of the mainland are caged in their millions in hideous ghettos far away..

Obi1kenobi:Err... no it's not. If he's gonna criticise Nigeria, we need to look at where he is coming from, which is Israel, a country that has MAJORITY of the world's nations at the UN voting against its oppression of the Palestinians whose lands they seized and still occupy. Fact is millions of Jews fled Europe, the Middle East and North Africa to Israel and founded a successful, wealthy, enterprising, resourceful, innovative first-world nation whose high tech sector is the envy of the world - 2nd only to Silicon ValleyBy stealing and robbing others of their land? I know in your soulless brain, the end justifies the means. So what if millions of women and children are slaughtered and robbed? Hey we build great computers. The ''envy of the world''. The world will not descend to your depravity and barbarism. and they did it on a largely barren land with next to nothing in natural resources.They get billions of dollars in US aid and technology transfer each year, plus (politically driven) easy access to western markets for their finished products (something denied African countries via sky-high tariffs etc). What are you talking about? Stop pretending like they were just stuck out there in the desert, and then brilliance and inspiration just came to them, and they built a ''first world nation'' out of nothing but sand. Save that fairytale BOLLOCKS for your fellow racist simpletons and airhead goons. They accomplished this while Nigeria, with all its natural and mineral resources and arable land remains an unproductive shiithole. So, if Israelis are talking about how to run a successful, productive nation, shut up and listen.Israel has only 8 million people. Since the 1940s, they've received countless billions of dollars each year, from the US. They can literally be ''anything they wanna be'', with little stress. Culturally, ethnically, and religiously homogeneous, with no real internal conflicts, they do not face the challenges of a multicultural, multilingual, multi-ethnic, multi-religious 200 million strong behemoth like Nigeria established by Europeans at the ignoble Berlin conference of 1884. A country designed solely for the evacuation of resources to Europe. Can't blame us too much for needing some time to sort out the mess.. Blame your greedy forbears, white boy. 3 Likes |
