Northerners might not be into internet fraud as much as their counterparts down South. Their scamming na face to face with confidence. Much like dis our Oga in the Rock wen use local run all im supporters back to back.

Their fraud is in foreign exchange at the parallel market. Northern Nigerians are making billions buying dollars low and selling it high.

Baawaa:
America will be the one telling us when and where to use what we buy with our money, our leaders needs to get brains

It took them 6 years to buy the Tucano Jets, which they could have gotten directly from Brazil, at less the cost and within 2 years, now they have to get clearance from the USA before they use them.

Truthisunique:
Misplaced priorities

What's the need of flyover when your people (future Terrorists) dey use plate beg all over the country cos your state can't help

They forget that the most important infrastructures are the people.

Awolowo started universal primary health care and education programs in 1952, today the Western states have a literacy rate of more than 85%. The average literacy rate in Northern Nigeria is below 30%. Despite Northerner ruling Nigeria for the best part of 70% of her existance.

Chairman Mao of China responsible for over 39million deaths.

Stalin of Russia responsible for 9 million deaths.

Adolf Hitler with the Holocaust...

Uncountable wars because of land, but religion is the biggest cause of death?

Stop ploughing people's wives you won't hear word

The Spanish in the name of Christ killed more in South America, virtually wiped out three civilisations and built their church on their temple. I don't even want to go into the carnage of the Arab and Fulani jihads.

GenBuhari:
Another reason I am beginning to fall in love with the idea of flat roof garden terraces, instead of conventional roofs. All that roof timber just became unintended fuel for the fire.
In senegal it is the normal design for homes and it is rare to find a house with a zinc roof.

Flat roof is not a good idea if you live in the tropics with heavy rainfall. Flat roofs are usually in the Sahel and Sahara where there is little rainfall like Northern Nigeria, Mali and to a lesser extend Senegal.

caesymore:
lolz...

That na shikini matter most of us owing them app niggas no be say we no get money to pay but we won pepper those men wey think say they go dey use us shine anyhow.

I dey owe them like this and na small 10k and no Jupiter go make me pay those greedy bastards. What happened? I don dey build my credit limit from scratch to 180k I borrowed 150 they demanded I pay in two installments I wasn't ok with that cause I had it in mind to pay once its due in 1 month time, I paid this Men in that a month with the interest accrued and instead of increase in credit limit they took me back to 10k I was disappointed I vex collect the money after all the interest paid to them them do me wiliwili so I decided to do them back. that 10k nah my pay off, they can do there worst.

It is idiots like you that destroy opportunities for other hardworking Nigeria. The credit line is supposed to be used to improve your business, instead, you see it as an opportunity to steal, then will complain that politicians are corrupt.

Useless Nigerian, your suffering has just begun.

NGpatriot:
1. There is no waste and there can never be any waste per money and estimate of the amount we need to connect every corner of Nigeria via rail system, It's either you did not read the article or you are just one of the can't read and comprehend people.

2. You are not a rail construction engineer and you have zero knowledge about rail construction, management or operation so you can not determine the cost of any rail system talk less coming up with your own price tag?

3. Do you know the cost of ordinary screw, talk less the cost of labor, manpower, tools, procurement, importation and installation of trains, coaches and hardware? You really know?

Of course, you don't know, you are just making ignorant noise with zero substance,

4. It cost $1.5 Billion to construct Lagos Ibadan railway with many beautiful stations, so how did you arrive at $3 Billion to cover the whole of Nigeria with rail, rail yards, stations, coaches and engines?


Do you not see how ignorant and lame you sound?

Olodo,

Perfectbeing:
What about the money that went into road construction and power?

What Power?

Please list the investment in Power, last time I study the Electricity situation in Nigeria I notice that the Power capacity has increased in 7 years and delivery has fallen to 3,000 MW the lowest since 1999.

Regrading roads construction this is an article from November 2021

The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has said the country will require N1.3 trillion to fix its roads in 2022

He also said the federal government is owing certified contractors N420 billion for road construction.

Mr Fashola stated this when he appeared before the House of Representatives Committee on Works Wednesday to defend the allocation to the ministry in the 2022 budget.

The allocation to the ministry in the 2022 estimate is N450 billion out of which N282.6 billion is proposed for the execution of roads

arsenal33:
I will not insult you, I come from a good home, but we are discussing money for railways, not other borrowings. There will always be corruption in every system...and nice for letting us know you have a house

I don't care what home you come from, I just cannot tolerate the ignorance and docile behaviour of the average Nigerians, next you will say god will provide.

When you lower your standard to the point that you can tolerate corruption and waste of $35 billion for a $3 billion rail investment then you have insulted yourself and wasted my valuable time.

arsenal33:
have lagos to ibadan and abuja to kaduna been abandoned? Some people just do not want progress

Dummy try and reason,

No one is questioning the importance to borrow to build infrastructures, I borrowed thousands of pounds to buy my house. The point is that majority of the funds that were borrowed did not end in infrastructures, but consumption, corruption and recurring expenses.

Nigeria has borrowed to pay salaries and import food and refined oil. Can you equate the $35-40 billion that Buhari borrowed to the number of infrastructures on the ground? In 7 years of his government, how many refineries are working?

Think before you respond.....

arsenal33:
fact is to develop our infrastructure to an acceptable level we have to borrow. If you have an alternative, think before you respond and tell us

Nigeria’s foreign loans set for all-time high at $45bn as Buhari begs for additional $4bn loan

arsenal33:
God bless you. We had plenty cheap oil money to build these things but they stole it all. Now we MUST have them, hence the borrowing. Those who criticize the borrowing should say where the money will come from

The majority of the borrowing hasn't gone into infrastructures developed, Amechi has borrowed only $3-4 billion which has been invested into rail programs, but the Buhari has borrowed close to $35 billion.

Where has the $31 billion gone too?

Please think before you respond.

FirstbornWds:
Truly, Afcon is one heck of an underrated competition and too disrespected.

AFCON should use players based in Africa if they want respect.

If Africa wants respect to develop your local football league and African players will not need to emigrate.

Simvan:
Please try and ignore my punctuation errors.

I have plans to study robotics after getting my bsc degree in Nigeria, and I am here to find out from those that have idea on how things go in both countries(Japan and Singapore), with regards to;
1. Cost of living.
2. Where can I get a better degree.
3. My chance of being accepted in their university.
4. My chance of getting a job after graduating.

Please if you have a better suggestions aside the two countries I gave, I am open to learning from you.

I will go to Japan to get a good robotic degree and learn the language a second language will improve your career prospect in Europe and USA

babaolofin:
On another level, having posted earlier that Insurance would pay for the loss , another question is this; if this mall were to belong to Tinubu or Fashola or Osinbajo this thread
and all other threads on this inferno would have gone up to ten pages, Instagram would have been set on fire and the type of kind hearted and good reasoning emotions exhibited by some people would have been missing. Heavens would have been let loose.

Tinubu, Fashola or Osinbajo do not represent Yoruba people. The Igbo's should take of their own business.

Racoon:
Regionize this failed entity and let all regions take care of themselves.With the escalating insecurity, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the central govt to provide security.

In Russia, all regions have their own interior ministry army. In Ethiopia, every region has their own independent security army designed to protect its local security. Nigeria security army is an occupation force, set up to control the oil wealth and subjugate Nigerians.

OneCorner:
Afonja youths just learning how to construct roads when youths of their age are already building cars in the east

Yoruba can construct the road for Igbo made cars we all benefit from our skill and talent.

Rugaria:
Why are you desperate to insist that this is not as a result of arson or politically motivated, when you have no single proof to back up your vehement assertion? If you consider those insinuating that this was triggered by an arsonist to be playing victim, how about you that don't have any proof otherwise but want all of us to believe that the fire occured naturally, are you not diabolically mischievous?

I don't know whether it's arson or negligence. Probably both, but I am fed up with Igbo victimisation, in a country where all Nigerians are victims of a failed country called Nigeria.

I wish Igbo's will stick to their demand for an independent Biafra because any political leader with good intentions will fail in Nigeria.

OreMI22:
Its been a very long time that this store had been on their hit list.

Peter Obi should know that this investment was targeted to either go up in flames or be demolished by FCTA under the guise of distortion of Abuja master plan.

At least now they achieved its destruction without any lawsuit

JAMO84:
Everything that happens to Igbo, someone must be behind it.


Only God can forgive you, people.

They are always playing the victim. There are more businesses that go up in flame in Lagos and Oyo due to poor maintenance and lack of health and safety standards.

Maybe the cash and carry didn't follow basic health and safety regulations. We have seen a 21 story building collapse, oil tanker fires every week, so I will not be surprised if a shopping mall is engulfed in flames. Nigerians forget that maintenance is critical for business.

GboyegaD:
What is he prostrating for? What was he thinking when he was driving a client's car he ought to just wash? He's the evil one here and shouldn't think of the car owner doesn't accept his plea the car owner is wicked.

He was thinking about Eba and Ewedu

superCleanworks:
That same box is paying them massive cashout.
They hold the country to ransom when they come up with such stories to collect money for equipment and maintenance for the same things every year.

Nigerians are the dumb ones.

You got it,

They are gaming the systems. Failure and incompetence is business opportunity.

SARSCoV2:
Nigeria needs to start considering the Nuclear option.

They can't even manage simple gas that they flare regularly, yet you want these idiots to go nuclear, are you out of your mind. These idiots will replace oil spillage with nuclear radiation.

paulolee:
I dnt see any sense in what the Napoli lawyers are saying...they can sue him if they think he Is not properly fit n they believe dt Nigeria are rushing him back to fitness bcoz of AFCON instead of him resting..
I dnt see covid or vaccine issue as a case here bcox the whites dt are taking daily jabs are still getting increasing cases of omicron bt covid or omicron dont exist in Africa n AFCON dnt even gv a fck about who is vaccinated or not

I see a lot of sense in what the Napoli lawyers is saying. I don.t see any sense in Osimen wanting to play for Nigeria when he is just recovering from injury.

Africa should use local players.

It seems like building flyover is the new mechanism to steal money in Nigeria, last year it was airport construction.

Onyiiobi7735:
This Ortom or Otu m is very stupid. Wasn't he the same ranting and blasting Mr Lifeless over the rampaging activities of Baba Lifeless's kinsmen in Benue.He said all sorts and now he has suddenly turned to lick the Lifeless ass.

That's why I don't trust the Middle Belt

Ovamboland:
That's at least $100bn for generation alone. Another $100bn will be needed to finance distribution and transmission. Then at least $20-30bn must be available to operate and maintain this complex system

How is that going to happen? Who will provide such funds? Without a viable path for cash flow?
You must think our capacity to raise funds is unlimited

It cost that much if you intend to build a system across Nigeria, but if the power generation, transmission and distribution is regional and state-owned and focused they will require a fraction of $100 bn.

Egypt built three 5000 MW (total 15GW) for a grand total of $6.7 billion, this was the cost of the turbine, the transmission and distribution cost $2-3 billion.

This is not true, FG said it will start in the second quarter!

I hope so because a country of 210 million should have 120 million electricity capacity.

This report was from October 2021 :
The nation’s $2.3 billion Presidential Power Initiative, PPI, project, has come under threat, following a sharp disagreement between the Federal Government and Siemens Energy over local content, automation and counterpart funding.

Under the Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, signed between the government and its German ally, the initiative was originally conceived to supply 7,000 megawatts by December 2021, and additional 11,000MW and 25, 000MW by 2023 and 2025 respectively.

treesun:
How do we get to 25000MW by Siemens now!

According to news media, that deal has been cancelled.

There was an issue about local content by the Nigerian government, since the German government was providing the majority of the funds (like the Chinese deals) Siemen was reluctant to share 40% to local Nigerian organisations.

ruggedtimi:
stopping illegal bunkering In rivers state is like stopping drug trafficking in Mexico. The security personnels responsible in curbing bunkering are actively involved in it.

Typical Nigerian!

No solution to their problems

IgiveLadiesBj:
Relocate for your health sake. Don't wait for any government

Relocate to where?

They should stop those oil gas flaring and illegal refineries.

Penguin2:
Is that all you will say?

Hope you are seeing how the man your Tinubu helped foist on Nigerians is fighting the insecurity he promised to lead from the front?

They have now shamelessly resorted to propaganda claiming Airforce has decimated the camps of all bandits.

Where did these ones come from?

The downfall of Northern Nigeria proceeds both Buhari and Tinubu, it can be traced back to Amadou Bello feudal politics in the 1950s to the introduction of Sharia in 1999. The final result will be the complete impulsion of the North similar to the collapse of Afghanistan.
