Chinese have not replicated G-wagon Hummer and range

My brother you're on a long thing.... I have seen G-wagon and Range Rover look alike cars, same body designs with some modern functions but like I said, the cars are way cheaper and substandard. The keyless function is not as sensitive as the original brands and the comfort can't be like the original Mercedes and Range Rover. You can't see most of this Chinese car companies in Nigeria because we don't have long term payment packages that encourage buying brand new cars.

""The standard version can travel 354 kilometres on a single charge""




The time of electric cars Is still over a century away. A single charge can't even go from Lagos to abuja (around 700km) and @ 11 million, most people in the world won't afford it.
Oil will still be here for a very long time.

Use gsm phones in Nigeria as an objective yardstick, when it first came to Nigeria it was a luxury but now am sure you know its now what almost every one can buy. Am sure in a few years from now the Market will become open and more competative, the Chinese will also in their usual nature build a substandard cheaper version.

Elon Musk is a South African and merely traveled to Canada for his University education and nationalize as a US citizen after selling his first online business. Surprised the South Africa has disappeared in his story.

Success they say have many friends... Am sure if he had commited a huge crime like Terrorism the media would br like " Elon Musk of South African decent " and the Caucasians would have screamed, strip him and all his African brothers the rights of being an American citizen. Mother africa has been losing and is still losing her best people as time goes by.

FriendNG:
Agreed. But specifically for this thread we are referring to those ones sponsored by Kano state government under Kwankwaso.

You're right, this is about the students sponsored by Kwankwaso but I had to use the opportunity to say what I observed in Egypt. Do have a great day ahead.

Still very empty, mention any of the students you know from rich homes and save me the task of reading empty epistle.
In my own case, two of them are in my neighborhood and their fathers (both of them) are petty traders in the market.
Stop lying, your case is getting annoying.

Just listen to yourself, so you expect me to mention names on a forum like nairaland. I guess you do not have much to lose in life so privacy and security means nothing to you. I owe you no further explanation but if you can, ask the people you know in Egypt about all I said. Case closed

FriendNG:
You're wrong. Kano State scholarship under Kwankwaso is not what you think. After the screening, he further screen it himself to fish out children of the rich or official in government.

I never even called out Kwankwaso, I generalized based on the ones ive met. Like i said, most of them not all and I hope you know Kano/Kwankwaso is not the only state/person offering scholarships to students in Nigeria. Please ask the students you know in Egypt about our Nigerian (mostly Hausa) students other Universities like American University, Cairo University and Al hazar schools. My brother you will be amazed, trust when I tell you Egypt is another coded Dubai where so many rich Nigerian are hiding too much money building estates and other structures.

aumeehn:
sharaap!! Who told you kano state is as corrupt as your dammed south!! My niece is in Egypt she doesn't know anybody she's an orphan Rabiu musa kwankwaso paid for her edu in Egypt you kon de tok rubbish mtsww! Pesin go dey umahia but be talking about the North like he 's a northerner mtsww!

Wish her all the best and please encourage her to avoid bad groups. Tell her to tell you the truth about how the rich students live there, most are not from poor homes and am sure you cousin is among the lucky few, once again I wish her all the best.

Stop lying. How some of you sit down and churn out these kind of lies and still go to bed still amazes me.
Do you know any one of them? Do you even know of the programme? How do you feel comfortable with these kind of lies? A person that can call his parents and get $10k searching for govt scholarship to study nursing? How is this even logical to you?
Yes, I'm fully aware of the programme and the selection exercise was on merit, those that scaled their ways through the back doors are the low performing ones that will soon be sent back and let me tell you, rich men in the north don't even bother themselves with govt scholarship because of pride.
Again, the person you quoted asked a simple question; what was his state doing with tax payer's money? He didn't ask which state has any number of beggars.

Now listen here, I don't always comment on this forum but I chose to do so because I know what am saying. Have you ever been to Egypt or do you live in Egypt ? Do you have vast knowledge about how Nigerians live there ? You should ask me to enlighten you and stop the bullshit about Rich men/politicians not sending their relatives or kids to school abroad on scholarships, they do it allot to gain cheap sympathy from the guilable public so do not come here to mis-quote me with out facts. As for the number of beggars I previously talked about I guess you missed the pun in that, it was just a rethorical statement. Let me know when ever you visit Egypt so I'll direct you to where you will see things for yourself. Most and not all of The students are living large And that is a fact, which poor man child/student rents a 600/700 dollars car per month ? I guess your thoughts are as good as mine so correct me with facts not fairy tales.

nextprince:
At least the tax payer's money belongs to Kano state and is being expended on Kano state indigenes, rich or poor, but pls kindly tell us what your state's tax payer's money is being expended on.

I'm even surprised you did not add the usual programmed line "our oyel money".

Those students are not poor. They can call over $10,000 dollars from their Nigerian family in less than 30 minutes if the need arises. As for other states, I will kindly tell you that the beggars and illiterates in Kano is far bigger than most western and eastern states so forget this tax payers illustration because Almost all the Nigerian politians are corrupt birds of the same feathers inresoective of their regions.

Ok.
This is how they waste money sending their love ones, present/future cuncubines and mistresses to School in different Arab countries. I have met so many of them and all I can say is, they are on an all expenses paid long vacation. They occupy 6th October area and club almost every night at Giza and the boat in maadi, some will boldly tell you their future is already secured so they are just doing this school thing to cover up when they go back to Nigeria to eat our national cake.
Their parents/relatives don't buy or rent apartments in Egypt, they buy entire buildings and villas there, this is why Egyptians don't joke with Hausa people and treat them better than Nigerians from other tribes. The embassy in Egypt is also occupied with Hausas and give the Hausas better treatment then other tribes, this is fact and you can confirm it.

freedom fighter standing on a mountain in a foreign country, trying to send a message to his people back in the ghetto ,he had a home one time ,love of a girl but he left all that behind .oh yes I can hear him clearly as he whispers in d air his voice came out loud and clear ,what he asked for as a prayer and as he turns to walk away he said: I'm still here in d house of exile for the love of nation

Words of lucky Dube. May his soul rest in peace.

The fruit seller should have been lectured on how to cross a road before walking away like Craig David.......

iamwoods:
all the thing this frog jonathan said no pain me,but wetin pain me pass is that he said all member who left would come due to internal crisis,why they leave the party in first case they now swapping party like jersey..idiot old fools..make i go bank jor

That was the most annoying part but what baffles me the most is the fact that there is no shame or any form of starting something fresh and out of the box. Same old wines in new bottles.

Omofunaab2:
Umahi and okoroawusa knows better than you all

Stay on your lane and speak for yourself. If they know better they should be busy engaging their lazy ass in growing and creating grass root projects that will increase their IGR thereby creating more jobs and also attracting investors from other regions. A good example is Abakaleke rice, what stops the state from packaging such a precious comodity by creating better ways to get loans or easy land purchase/lease for large scale rice production. The north had groundnut pyramids which was exported and other regions had large production of cocoa, Palm products e.t.c so no region stand to loss if we work hard after restructuring.

Salgado still got his iconic thunder shots. This man can still bench some players in competitive football with his current level of performance. Nigerian players are suffering from same problem affecting almost all our young football players who signs a good financial contract, once the account comes alive the passion and zeal for glory dies. They see financial success as their trophy even if it means writting their name in the book of history with a pencil instead of a golden pen.

I keep wondering if this guy is a fish.. I'm yet to his picture where his mouth is closed.

and dat is why the youth are far behind in the fore front of the country decision maker.
we shouldn't kiss ass because we want to eat, we should be able to sacrifice and fight for what we believe.

right now am in an Igbo shop, buying things, we say our piece, argue, and still make up. he is also a nairalander. I introduced him here. only stupid people take internet discussion too much to the heart

anyone who take my opinion too personal has problem not with me but he or herself.

What ever rocks your boat. Words are more powerful than a nuclear war head so chose them wisely because you don't know who reads them especially in a public forum, a lady was recently sentenced to prinson in the states for aiding murder just because her choice of words made her boy friend commit suicide. He may be stupid or not, a life has been lost is whats on the table. Wish you all the best.

holatin:
Fayose and ffk will never, can never become a mouthpiece for we south western, both of them are sharing their dumb opinion even though no one asked for it.


when we grade intelligent and leadership in southwest, Ffk cant even make an apprentice post.

he is nothing but a drug addict with the penchant of Notice me attitude.
we don't and will never take him serious, we are giving him to the IPOB tout who took him as their lord and saviour

Are you sure you need more clients. It's better you remain neutral in issues like this for the growth of your business. Your best client in future may be an IPOB supporter and you may end up losing him/her with comments like this. Better you create another account and join the jay talking trolls in their tribal online war which you seem to have ignorantly or knowingly joined.

MrBrownJay1:
I can't/won't stop that friend from dating her, but he will be excluded to hang out with us while with her.

That is a serious breach of rule #18 of the MEN's code:
rule 18: Thou shall not try to date the ex of your buddy... But, if you lose your damn mind and suddenly wanna date his leftovers, you will be thrown out from that circle of friends until you regain your senses (aka dump her). Even then, series of tests must be carried out to confirm that your sanity is intact. You shall therefore pay a fine (possibly a few rounds) and you MUST never talk about the JeZebel while with any members of the group.

Bro code ....101

emmalux2:
To Egypt? for what? to place more people in captivity? I went to one of his branches last week, as they were raising prayer points, i couldnt follow suit but i kept praying for their salvation. No holiness in in his ministry, women with hair uncovered, choir with short skirt and uncovered hair. They danced "One leg up" "One leg up"
The pastor said if u bliv im Suleman, raise up ur hand, they all did but i refused cos he is not God, they later started rubbing oil but i refused because only Jesus saves. Oil,water,handkerchief,aproan,salt,soap,sand of ijesha are the instruments of false prophets and penticostal witchcraft practices. Jesus is waiting for his likes in Nigeria to repent and set his lawful captives and followers free. Heb 12:14 ............"without holiness no one will see God. #Whatsapp08034342755

So what is the what's app number for? Do you think the Church is for the saints alone? The church is for the children of GOD and also a map for lost souls to find their way to the LORD so please go back and read the Bible but this time take time to read and understand.

Moukandjo:
Bro, that's why I said "most," & I have evidence to back my claim. If you have carefully followed comments on Nairaland overtime, you'll hardly find anyone claiming to be from a region just to make the region look bad; it's hardly sustainable.
For example, hateful, silly & unintelligent comments on fora like Nairaland against other tribes emanated from the Igbos especially against the Yorubas, & it mostly boils down to the election loss by Jonathan, when even Jonathan himself & his kinsmen have moved on. Your people began calling the Yorubas cowards for not supporting their candidate. Sadly & inevitably, the hate will have to be reciprocated by the Yorubas, hence the chaos you find on Nairaland today. You're right when you say there are bad eggs everywhere but, bros, una own pass. How come you don't see such hate between the Yorubas & even the south southerners? How come it is the Igbos against almost everybody including the south southerners whenever they deny being part of your Biafra?

Igbos against everybody?? ... Come on you know that only happens on nairaland bro and remember, Change starts with me and you. Honestly, I am not happy about the name calling but at the same time we should not throw a baby along with dirty diapers. Now tell me the truth, does this hatred really affect your relationship with the Igbos you have met in person? Do you know that I have been duped by my fellow Igbo brothers but have never experienced such from any other tribe in Nigeria. I have wonderful Yoruba friends and I still eat ewedu in my home and sometimes the MRS. Join me ( She's also Igbo and never tasted it before she met me ), so there are more liberal and open minded Igbos in the world than the tribal ones who litter nairaland. I am proudly Igbo but will never insult People from other tribes because that makes me a lesser human who's got no right to criticize any of my crazy racist white neighbors who don't even share an elevator with a black person.

Moukandjo:
Not true, bro! Most Igbos will agree with him. They reason in the same warped manner!

You have no evidence to back that. I can claim to be Donald trump and say trash on a faceless forum like nairaland just for likes or to make a certain region look bad.
Am a proud Igbo man but I still cautioned him/her for not showing sympathy or any form of best wishes to those affected so insulting most people from my tribe makes you also sail on the ship with him/her.
There are bad eggs everywhere so please let's not make a common mistake of tagging the bad ones with the good ones. Have a blessed day bro.

Leyke14:
Let me ask for something not really mainstream. Someone hook me up with Etcetera songs. Going Crazy on twitter and Ndigbo.
The guy sings funny, looks funny fella. wonder just why he never mainstreamed, he is really good.
anyway, please even if you just have to upload for me please,, Thanks

Am a huge fan of Etcetara. I have almost all his songs so just tell me the track you want, drop an email and I'll send to you. Cynthia Morgan is more versatile than Mc Galaxy and Btw, We hardly ever listen to evergreen songs in Nigeria in recent times.

Rapoo:
God I thank you for south eastern states, Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, Abia, and Imo state, we hardly experience such things more especially Enugu state.

No reasonable Igbo person will ever agree with you on this one. You lack wisdom.

MissTechy:
My sincere apologies for seeing this late. It is hillsong worship what a beautiful name

Already searched it out and I must thank you for connecting me with such a wonderful worship song even though you may not have done it on purpose. Keep up the good work and do not see constructive cristism or negative comments as an insult, it's all part of the package due to the nature of your job so ignore most of them and always trail on the positive. GOD bless from one of your coded fans outside naija.

midayy:
wow....

and not even one naija artist was featured

I love his risk taking mentality/ability which has been working for him but he should have at least featured some African artist's to promote our music industry. Wish him the best and I pray/hope he gets what ever he hopes to achieve.

samuelsotas:
If na YORUBA or I BEFORE OTHERS (IBO) man now, ABOKI'S AND FOOLANIS GO DON MAD

It's IGBO not Ibo, but you're absolutely right. The north would have been calling for the quick resignation or impeachment of the ailing president.

what about I Join After Winning

It's Allowed.

NtoAkwaIbom:
Never ever try to reason with an Ipob miscreants... it's like tying up a goat and trying to talk sense into the goat, at the days people will feel that you too are a goat.
Those Miscreat hv never raised an article, not to talk of a voice, or stones against Theordore Orji.. whom for 8yrs didn't even pour I spade of sand to make Aba Better... they voted him to Senate.(While Godswill used the same 8yrs to turn Aks to a near El-Dorado)
Ipob miscreants are afraid of T.Orji.
but they feel their problem is the northerner selling Suya.. selling beans, selling onnions etc.

collectively, weda North, East, South and West.. our collective eniea are the stupendously rich political elite.. but instead of joining with EFCC or other Nigerians to fight them... those guys are busy protesting.. "HE IS OUR THEIVE, DONT TOUCH OUR THIEVE"... So u see them protesting for Saraki, Methuh etc by day and Asking for Biafra by Night... Someone said " PDP is Biafra, Biafra is PDP." Sarki and I bliv there is huge truth in it... same people that were crying GEJ or Death... after March 2015, changed GEJ for Biafra.






Ikpa Why do you feel Phyno, P-Square, Kcee, Tekno, Don Jazzy, Humble Smith, and all those making it big in the entertainment world, are not staying in the East ?

produce a song, sell to 1million people, and produce a song and sell to 170million people.. see whether you make same money.
some Miscreant will be claiming that artist go to places... but let me ask, how often does Phyno go to play in Ghana or S.A ? or how often does Aka or Sark come to sing in Nigeria.

even in the Movie world, get a Ghana Cable TV, they rarely show nollywood, they concentrate on showing Ghanian movies.. You feel that your Movie Actress will be OK doin movies for your 5 eastern states ?
At a point, Ghana did put an embargo on nolywood films to grow theirs.. you feel Nigeria will gv a wide berth for Biafrawood movies to spoil their market ??

TO SELL ANYTHING, YOU NEED A WIDER MARKET, THE POPULATION, OF NIGERIA IS MORE THAN ENOUGH MARKET TO MAKE US ALL RICH..selling whatever tallent we have to millions of Nigerian is far beta Dan to a set... Ask Linda Ikeji, ask all your Bloggers, if they would prefer to blog to just Igbos or to 170+ million Nigerians.

OUR PROBLEM ARE THE POLITICAL ELITE, THOSE THAT USE MONEY FOR ROADS TO BUILD HOTELS, we have them in the North East, West, South.... They are the ones we should stand togeda to fight...
not calling each other Afonja or Igbo here.

Mme tang akeh Mmi mma,
You can now fire at me at will...

You aired your opinion so no need for any firing since you never committed a crime. Now, how big is Luxembourg or Switzerland ? What is their GDP compaired to the GDP of Nigeria ? They are way ahead in almost everything thing that makes a country great but Nigeria have more human and natural resources.
The land mass or population of a country does guarantee a great economy. As for the point raised about T.A Orji, hope you know he manipulated his way into the senate in a rigged election but at the same time I share the same page with you on that because I wonder why there was no protest against that man who in my opinion is one of the useless/worst governor in Nigeria.
For now I may not be fully into Mr. Nnamdi Kanu's aggressive and sometimes insulting choice of words but when one takes a step backward the past and current situations in Nigeria gives one no other choice but to be sympathetic to his ideology of either genuine and speedy restructuring or referendum.
For the records, most of the Lagos Alaba, Trade fair and Igbo people based abroad are more committed to the Biafran cause than the average street hawkers in the east. Have a great Sunday.
