The Nigerian Army has already placed an Order for this vehicle(delivery are ecpected this year).

The nigeria auto manufacturing sector is really growing, if we keep up this tempo we can and will overtake South africa Auto industry in a couple of years.

Made in Nigeria Pf2.

Lol, very amusing to see people trying to make themselves relevance by comparing with their betters. Very funny, very very funny.

MADE IN NIGERIA Air beetle(About 60 of this plane was assembled/produce in Nigeria.)

Let's just forget it, but some of his appointments of which some has about 51 from katsina only is an indication of that. I'm not completely against Bubu though, but some of his statements have added fuel to the fire on this tribal issue.
And of course Bubu is not the major cause of recession.

Dont be mislead.

Stop trying to look at every issue from ribal/religious perspective.

Every nigerian president have been accused of being tribalistic (That is the first point the oppositions always raised).

From Obasanjo.

Tribalism is the first attack that is launched on any ruling Governments in nigeria by oppositions.

Stop falling for that trick.

freshest4live:
I don't think you are being fair on the BokoHaram stuff, remember the election was postponed because of BokoHaram, they were almost taking over the North East completely, l know you hate Bubu but let's be fair in our judgment.

What many nigerians fail to realise was that boko harama would have been defeated whether buhari was elected or not(elections were held in every LGA in the North east).

They were already losing ground before the election, buhari just did what anyone would do, Capitalize on the success.

ednited:
Actualy, I think what she have said is true. It's now time to speak out for the truth

There be no brainwash. Africa is in a big prob. PERIOD

No they are Not.

Most of what she said are false.

I am not a PMB supporter, heck i didnt even vote for the man.

But that dosent mean i should start spreading lies about his government.

NairobiWalker:
Zuma is a way better president than most African presidents - better than any that Nigeria has ever produced. It's only that S Africans have very high standards for their leaders that he comes off as a clown.

Carefull boy, carefull.

Fidha254:
the one on African military started in 2010, while the other thread started only in 2016

The question was about the longest thread.

Not about the time/year it was created.

docadams:
I think it is the longest thread I have seen on Nairaland so far. I didn't expect it to generate this load of 'bad bellerism' and destructive criticism. It should, rather, act as a veritable ground to get a feel of the temperament of our brothers in other African countries.

No its not.

This is the longest thread on nairaland(more than 2000 pages.)

this is a interesting story from ancient Rig Veda

the tale later became well known in Europe, with 19th century American poet John Godfrey Saxe creating his own version as a poem

Blind Men and the Elephant – A Poem by John Godfrey Saxe

It was six men of Indostan,
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.

The First approach'd the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
"God bless me! but the Elephant
Is very like a wall!"

The Second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried, -"Ho! what have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me 'tis mighty clear,
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!"

The Third approach'd the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
"I see," -quoth he- "the Elephant
Is very like a snake!"

The Fourth reached out an eager hand,
And felt about the knee:
"What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain," -quoth he,-
"'Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!"

The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said- "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!"

The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Then, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
"I see," -quoth he,- "the Elephant
Is very like a rope!"
And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!

MORAL,

So, oft in theologic wars
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean;
And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen!

i will just leave it here

400 million? dafuk.! Why don't these people borrow a leaf from their fellow Muslim counterparts in Places like Dubai and other developing Islam nations? they are extremists more than those who even brought the religion to them... Education! Education! what this people really need, those who grew up in the South don't have this wack mindset, my major problem with them is that they are drawing other progressing regions back!

Only stupidity would make someone to waste his life with a bomb, their elites wouldn't go unpunished for this wicked acts..

I dont really see a problem with feeding people during the ramadan, remeber kano state is technically a muslim state in nigeria.

Muafrika2:
There are people here (Nowe, Skirty et al) who can reason with you at your brain capacity. Try them.
Limit yourself to discussing gossip. This is serious stuff

Bwuhahahaha.

So your feelings were hurt? Good.

That will teach you guys to have some respects for humanity, and never ever post pics of mutilated and dead people(As if they have not suffered enough), they have to be dragged onto an internet discussion by people with shallow brains to make stupid points, how do you think the families of the deceased you guys are posting on a discussion forum will feel like.

You do know they have families and friends? With access to internet, making them relive their terror just because some dumb fools in kenya want to satisfy their stupid ego.

Never Ever Again Should you guys share picx of dead people on an open forum. It just shows the kind of person(and the kind home you were brought up) you really are.


Now Run Along And SIN NO MORE.

mtis:
Shytan first you need to be less savage so that people can follow what ya trying to say..That pic you posted up there is not a good start

I am only savage to people who deserve it.

Or do you expect to come to a nigerian forum and badmouth nigeria and escape scot free. HELL NO.

Contd.

Nigeria. Saganmu

So on point.



"The former Central Bank Governor, and Emir of Kano His Royal Highness Muhammadu Sanusi the second , surprised guests present at the Muson Centre for the launching of the book of Sir Olaniwun Ajayi.
Below is his unedited speech.

“Let me start by saying that I am Fulani (laughter). My grandfather was an Emir also fulani my uncle and guardian was also the immediate late Emir of Kano Alhaji Ado Bayero and therefore I represent all that has been talked about this afternoon. Sir Ajayi has written a book. And like all Nigerians of his generation, he has written in the language of his generation.


“My grandfather was a Northerner, I am a Nigerian. The problem with this country is that in 2009, we speak in the language of 1953. Sir Olaniwun can be forgiven for the way he spoke, but I cannot forgive people of my generation speaking in that language.


“Let us go into this issue because there are so many myths that are being bandied around. Before colonialism, there was nothing like Northern Nigeria, Before the Sokoto Jihad, there was nothing like the Sokoto caliphate. The man from Kano regard himself as bakane. The man from Zaria was bazazzage. The man from Katsina was bakatsine. The kingdoms were at war with each other. They were Hausas, they were Muslims, they were killing each other.


“The Yoruba were Ijebu, Owo, Ijesha, Akoko, Egba. When did they become one? When did the North become one? You have the Sokoto Caliphate that brought every person from Adamawa to Sokoto and said it is one kingdom. They now said it was a Muslim North.


“The Colonialists came, put that together and said it is now called the Northern Nigeria. Do you know what happened? Our grand fathers were able to transform to being Northerners. We have not been able to transform to being Nigerians. The fault is ours.


Tell me, how many governors has South West produced after Awolowo that are role models of leadership? How many governors has the East produced like Nnamdi Azikiwe that can be role models of leadership? How Many governors in the Niger Delta are role models of leadership? Tell me. There is no evidence statistically that any part of this country has produced good leaders.
You talk about Babangida and the problems of our economy. Who were the people in charge of the economy during Babangida era? Olu Falae, Kalu Idika Kalu. What state are they from in the North?
“We started the banking reform; the first thing I heard was that in Urobo land, there will be a curse of the ancestors. I said they (ancestors) would not answer. They said why? I said how many factories did Ibru build in Urobo land? So, why will the ancestors of the Urobo people support her?
“We talk ethnicity when it pleases us. It is hypocrisy. You said elections were rigged in 1959, Obasanjo and Maurice Iwu rigged election in 2007. Was it a Southern thing? It was not. “The problem is: everywhere in this country, there is one Hausa, Ibo, Yoruba and Itshekiri man whose concern is how to get his hands on the pile and how much he can steal.


Whether it is in the military or in the civilian government, they sit down, they eat together. In fact, the constitution says there must be a minister from every state.


“So, anybody that is still preaching that the problem of Nigeria is Yoruba or Hausa or Fulani, he does not love Nigeria . The problem with Nigeria is that a group of people from each and every ethnic tribe is very selfish. The poverty that is found in Maiduguri is even worse than any poverty that you find in any part of the South.


The British came for 60 years and Sir Ajayi talked about few numbers of graduates in the North (two as at independence). What he did not say was that there was a documented policy of the British when they came that the Northerner should not be educated. It was documented. It was British colonial policy. I have the document. I have published articles on it. That if you educate the Northerner you will produce progressive Muslim intellectuals of the type we have in Egypt and India. So, do not educate them. It was documented. And you say they love us (North) more than the south.
“I have spent the better part of my life to fight and Dr. (Reuben) Abati knows it. Yes, my grandfather was an Emir. Why was I in the pro-democracy movement fighting for June 12? Is (Moshood) Abiola from Kano ? Why am I a founding director of the Kudirat Initiative for Nigerian Development (KIND)?

“There are good Yoruba people, good Igbo people, good Fulani people, good Nigerians and there are bad people everywhere. That is the truth. “Stop talking about dividing Nigeria because we are not the most populous country in the world. We have all the resources that make it easy to make one united great Nigeria . It is better if we are united than to divide it.


“Every time you talk about division, when you restructure, do you know what will happen? In Delta Area, the people in Warri will say Agbor, you don’t have oil. When was the Niger Delta constructed as a political entity? Ten years ago, the Itshekiris were fighting the Urobos. Isn’t that what was happening? Now they have become Niger Delta because they have found oil. After, it will be, if you do not have oil in your village then you cannot share our resources.


“There is no country in the world where resources are found in everybody’s hamlet. But people have leaders and they said if you have this geography and if we are one state, then we have a responsibility for making sure that the people who belong to this country have a good nature.
“So, why don’t you talk about; we don’t have infrastructure, we don’t have education, we don’t have health. We are still talking about Fulani. Is it the Fulani cattle rearer or is anybody saying there is no poverty among the Fulani?”, he said.


LESSONS FROM THIS MESSAGE

Tribalism is not our problem. Tribalism and religion are artificial problems created by selfish leaders for their own personal interest.


There are only two major tribes in Nigeria. The Elites and the Masses. Once you make lots of money, you belong to the elite tribe. When you are a commoner or suffering, you belong to the tribe of the masses. If you are an elite, and you need more power, or elective position, you sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, so as to sway their emotion for your personal victory. This happens at both the national and state level. Unfortunately, after the election when they have won and joined their “sworn enemies” to drink and party, the gullible masses continue to fight each other.


Even smart people who belong to the masses, sometimes will sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, and then the masses will carry them up until they belong to the elite class. It is a classic strategy used over 3000 years ago in the art of war. A commoner who aspires to sit with the elites, could stir up powerful tribal or religious sentiments, such wave if properly utilized either by shedding blood or destabilizing the elites, carries the commoner to the elite class. But once there, he immediately mingles and makes peace with the elite tribe, and turn his back on the same masses that helped him get there.


Youths are the worst victim of this powerplay, they kill each other, call other tribes unprintable names, do terrible things and sometimes, even lose their life, thinking they are fighting for their right, not knowing that they are fighting for the personal welfare of someone, whose own children are probably safe in America or London.
So youths, don’t hope on the government. If you don’t have a job, create one. There is abject poverty in the south as well as the north, whether Ogoni or Maidugri. At the same time, there is massive wealth in Lagos, Onitsha, Nnewi, Aba, Kano, Abuja, irrespective of zone.


Whatever your hand finds to do, do it well and never remain idle. No job is too low for an idle hand, or else the devil will find work for you. As you become independent, and grow your capacity, do not lose hope in Nigeria. We are the largest economy in Africa and soon the world will fear us. Western powers, don’t like big economies that threaten them, America will do anything to break China, but China is wise to resist that. China has 1.6 billion people, we have only 170 million, and we are talking of breaking.


China has 5 major religions which are Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam and Christianity. Nigeria has only 2 major religions, Christianity and Islam. Yet we claim that religion is our problem.
America, the strongest economy is comprised of every tribe in the world, since they accept anybody from any part of the world. Yet they are united and extremely patriotic. Nigeria has only 3 major tribes, and we claim tribalism.
Think clearly and deeply, and you will realize that empowering yourself is the best course of action, not fighting each other.

And once the youths are empowered, they can begin to take back their future from the hands of the old and corrupt generation that has been blinding Nigerians with hatred, while looting all her resources. Sani Abacha’s loot is still stashed away in Switzerland, did he use it to develop the north? Those that stole billions under GEJ stashed it away in foreign banks, bought expensive toys, jets and foreign homes, are they using it to develop the south? Now the ones stealing currently, including the “grasscutters”, are looking for Ikoyi apartments, abandoned houses, and pit toilets to hide it, are they using it for the youths in their tribe? NO!

Youths shine your eyes ! Don’t always fall for this tribal, religious sentiments over and over again. Nigeria is bigger than these corrupt elites. They are the problem, not the poor masses.

He's joining AU so that he doesn't have to let go of Western Sahara. I wonder who lives there

He's the reason Kenya did not get AU chairmanship. Already so influential with only one leg in the organisation.

Your last statement.

All the information you need is at your fingertip, i dont know wht some people still choose to be guillible.

The statement you should have said should have been That nairobi has more mall than lagos which is true.

But naija has more mall than kenya that is the FACTS

https://www.howwemadeitinafrica.com/ranked-sub-saharan-africas-top-five-shopping-centres/

Enugu.

Enugu nigeria.

Kajuru nigeria.

I hate it when people try to pass their opinion as facts.

When you open an informative thread atleast try and be informative.

Considering you are on nairaland, Saying KENYA HAS MORE MALL THAN NIGERIA just because you spent a few days or weeks or month in nairobi, without backing it up with facts means what you are looking for all along is to start an e-war.

Then when your thread go to shits you start complaining like it is anyone faults but your own.

All you have to do is just search google and you would have known that kenya has nowhere near has many mall as nigeria.

FACTS dude FACTS, stop trying to mislead people with your false/biased opinion, its a crime.

TayserMahiri:
lol man, you caught me mentioning your name. I agree with you brother, Africans, and in particular Nigerians (no pun) need to travel and maybe see what they can do better. We have been busy here trying to inculcate some sense of responsibility on these people because it is our collective duty to wake the sleeping giant. Anyway, how was Dubz man? what was better than Kenya? I heard Nigerians were banned from Dubai after some of them broke into a bank and stole cash. Was that true? Clearly if you went the story might have been fabricated. Did you return to Naija or to Kenya?

Is it Nigerians that need to travel or is it kenyans?.

I am getting lost here.

Please explain what you mean.

coz you love stories about bleaching ..look at this.its all naija

Kenyans it is your fate and destiny to be ugly.

Bleaching wont change that, you were born ugly, you will live ugly, you will die ugly, nothi g you can do to change it bro.

The only solution i can offer you is to interbreed with the Ethiopians, then maybe we will start seeing beauty in kenya in the next 70 years.

But right now beauty and kenya cannot be put together in a statement.
