Tell me what is there to like about Islam?
The violence or the poverty?
Are you aware that Christians have slaughtered far more people on this Earth than Muslims?

It was even a Christian that led the Biafra war against you which killed 2 million Igbos. The unjust war against Iraq, the murder of Ghadaffi, the assassination of progressive African leaders from Sankara to Lumumba to Murtala Muhammed, and many other atrocities were committed by Christians. It is Christians who make monkey chants against black players in European stadiums, not Muslims. The biggest producer and exporter of deadly weapons of mass destruction is a Christian nation, the USA. This country has also invaded or had troops in 97% of ALL countries on Earth.

When will you brainwashed people get sense?

The unjust international financial system, where African countries can access development funds at 40% interest while white countries access the same funding at 3% interest rates, hence leaving billions of people in poverty and destitution, was devised by Christians. You Christians are by far the biggest problem we have on Earth today. You’re the very cause of all the poverty and destitution on Earth.

Standard of living is about higher disposable income not street pavement
Do you know that by making it EASIER for pedestrians to walk the streets on wide pavements unimpeded by sand and open gutters, and to even do window-shopping, or actual shopping, popping in from one shop to another along the pavement easily without stress, GREATLY INCREASES pedestrian traffic, and hence business activities on a street, thus boosting incomes?

If you take your busiest street today in Nnewi, and FIX IT like in that picture above, I can GUARANTEE you that trade will quadruple on that street.

Quintriple even.

GUARANTEED!

Meaning more income for traders and more tax revenues for govt.

You people don't use your sense.


Check out this busy street filled with shops.

Do you think all these people would be strolling like that there if there was an open gutter, sand, and mud there instead of a wide, clean pavement?

You can imagine how much those shops are making per day on that street.

Dude 'the economy'' is about PEOPLE.

Raising the living standards of the PEOPLE.

Part of that is done by improving public infrastructure.

This is how EVERY STREET should look:

https://nacto.org/wp-content/themes/sink_nacto/views/design-guides/retrofit/urban-street-design-guide/images/sidewalks/carousel//retail-sidewalk.jpg

It is not hard to do this. It is just about imposing STANDARDS in the building of road infrastructure.

The useless state governors must INSIST that every street must look like this. The people who made their streets like this don't have two heads.

These useless leaders KNOW how to build these streets, but because YOU, the citizen are not INSISTING they do it the right way, they build you these primitive, cheap roads with open gutters and sand on the side, and you praise them for ''tarring the road''!

You're IGNORANT, and they capitalize on this.

PoliticsI'm Starting To Like Vice President - Elect Shettima! by Rostikol(op): 10:43pm On May 23, 2023
At the recent commissioning of the 20 billion dollar ultra world class Dangote refinery, Vice President Shettima was one of the dignitaries who addressed the gathering which included party big wigs, traditional rulers, Mr President and other West African heads of state.

Shettima said the expected great things about the refinery, and in conclusion said

''Africa is not all about the crisis in Sudan. Africa is not all about poverty. deprivation and destitution. Africa is not all about insecurity. I hope the CNN, the BBC and the Sky News of this world will be around to give maximum coverage to this function.''

A thunderous applause from the audience followed.

It was a defining moment for Shettima and the Tinubu administration.

I like the black consciousness of Shettima.

The last thing we need is leaders that will be kissing Europe and America's ass.

If they try nonsense we ignore them and redouble/consolidate our links with China/Russia/Brazil and other powers.

What has the west ever done except assassinate Africa's best leaders including our Gen Murtala Ramat Muhammed of blessed memory, enslave, colonise and loot the continent?

Thank you for your Pan Africanist outlook VP Shettima.

People like you who respect your African heritage with no colonial mentality regarding whites, usually do very well in government.

One thing to learn from Dangote in this project is how as a businessman you should make other's problems your problems.

Subsidy, fuel scarcity, importation of fuel are problems Nigeria has had to deal with since the 90s, Dangote made those problems his own and in the end, the govt HAS NO option but to support him and ensure his success as it is the govts success.

A lot has been resting on the coming on stream of this refinery. Govts want to pursue one policy or another but they couldn't due to multiple factors, now this refinery make it possible for them as it takes care of most of those factors.

That's very smart thinking.

Your concerns are valid but I am confident the exhaustive environmental impact assessment studies done has taken care of potential problems noted.

Nothing and no one is perfect but big projects like this tend to have very solid, comprehensive and effective EIA reports and it appears the Dangote refinery project does from studies I have read.

The challenge is for relevant agencies to also adhere to guidelines and residential set-back recommendations without allowing corruption compromise their dedication to duty.

The site itself was chosen strategically and carefully as meeting criteria for location of the refinery.

Dangote launches Africa’s biggest oil refinery...

....Reduced oil import dependence
The most notable impact of Dangote refinery will be the increase in local refinery capacity, which will reduce imports.

Dangote refinery is expected to help Nigeria meet 100% of it’s refined petroleum product needs (gasoline, 72 million litres per day; diesel, 34 million litres per day; kerosene, 10 million litres per day and aviation jet, 2 million litres per day), with surplus products for the export market.

The refined petroleum output from the refinery in combination with other refineries in Nigeria is expected to meet the shortfall of the estimated daily consumption of 72 million litres of petrol.

The country has faced several fuel shortages in the past, which have caused prices to surge for transport and basic commodities.

Recent fuel shortages have been blamed on the Russia-Ukraine war. The price of imported fuel rose more than 100%. Importers operated at a loss due to price ceilings set by the government.

Besides eliminating import dependency, the Dangote refinery can potentially reduce Nigeria’s crude oil export dependency as more crude oil will be refined domestically.

Refining crude oil locally will enable the country pay for the refined product in naira which will save scarce foreign exchange and generate revenue in exported refined petroleum products.

Support for allied industries
The establishment of the refinery is also likely to help reduce the cost of production for industries that rely on petroleum products such as diesel to power their operations. In turn, this should increase their competitiveness in the global market while promoting local industry capabilities.

The refinery could also create an environment for allied industries to emerge in and around it. For instance, businesses in transport, housing and telecommunications will benefit from the construction and operations of the refinery.

And the refinery should create jobs and entrepreneurship opportunities.

While under construction, the refinery employed about 40,000 workers – 29,000 Nigerians and 11,000 foreigners.

The jobs were in engineering, construction, manufacturing and operations, among other areas.

In full operation, the refinery, according to media reports, is expected to create over 250,000 direct and indirect jobs.

PoliticsDangote Refinery - This Economy Is About To EXPLODE Into Prosperity by Rostikol(op):
The more I research this refinery, the more amazing it is in terms of its salutary effects on the Nigerian economy going forward.

It ticks every box.

Supplies 100% of Nigeria's refined petroleum requirements, adds 21 billion dollars in revenue to the economy each year, makes Nigeria by far Africa's biggest producer and exporter of refined petroleum products and petrochemicals with zero competition, and saves 20 billion dollars previously used in importing refined fuel each year.

So we're talking around 40 to 50 billion dollars annual benefit to the economy.

We haven't even added the multiplier effect - the snowball effect - of so much money floating around in terms of new businesses, industries, and jobs.

If you do, we're talking a minimum 100 billion dollars added to annual GDP.

It's a friggin' game-changer by any measurement.

I've read one expert go so far as to say that this project on its own officially makes Nigeria an industrialised country.

Here's the thing. Here is how it impacts you, even if you're not into oil and gas business.

If you ever had a business idea in mind, ANY BUSINESS IDEA, its chances of succeeding just increased by a minimum 70%.

Because, as this refinery is CERTAIN to increase annual GDP in the years ahead by a HUGE margin, the market for your business is ASSURED, so long as you know what you're doing.

DEMAND IS ASSURED.

And we're talking long-term here.

Where do you want your business to be in the next 10 years?

20 years?

Its chances of HUGE success are a lot BRIGHTER today, following the opening of the world's largest single train refinery in Lagos.

One more thing.

The SIEMENS POWER DEAL is on course, and probably in the next 2 to 3 years, power cuts would be a thing of the past in Nigeria.

Plan your hustle well, and you will succeed in the NEW NIGERIA.

Thanks all. wink
