Here you come again. Is Nigeria really the poorest Country? Can you defend this? I can see you're a real Olodo, that's why you kept using the word.

90 million Nigerians living in extreme poverty can defend this.

timesup234:
Countless. In short almost running into millions. Being successful has nothing to do with fame. 95% of so called western educated Nigerians always turn out to be junkies. 85% of successful Nigerians grew up in the slums. Greatness is born everyday in the slums. Quality education is overrated, it doesn't give you any single advantage to make headway in life. You must be dreaming to think otherwise

My friend, you have not met educated people. There are reasons why the majority of the world smartest people are former students of the best institutions in the world. A good education from the age of 3 will improve the critical and lateral thinking of your child.

Quality education is not overrated, I pray that one day you will get some.

if 85% of successful Nigerians grew up in the slums, you can understand why the majority of Nigerian politicians and elites are incompetent and 50 % of Nigerians are living in extreme poverty and misery.

The person who forcefully collects your mobey in the name of tax and does nothing with it you never vex.
Electricity people when dey scam you day and night you never vex. Na person when dey live her life dey scam you. .

It's this mentality that has destroyed Nigeria today.

Otuegbe:
is she a govt official

She is a hypocrite.

When she becomes a government official she will be worst than the incumbent.

Taking into considering tuition fee costs, accommodation, travel and other essentials such as food and textbooks, Regent's University London was named the most expensive place to study overall, at a cost of £38,854 each year.

engrfaruq:
I know this would be your response. Next time don't dare throw careless figures on a public forum like this, you'd be disgraced, just the same way you resort to blabbing because you couldn't defend your baseless allegation now.

Olodo

The poorest country in the world has more than 400 private jets, yet you are asking me for a list of who own these jets. Your uselessness has just started.

.

engrfaruq:
Please give me a list of Governors that have Private Jets, and I'm expecting nothing less than 18 Governors since you said majority.

You should consult Buhari for that list.

Olodo, calling himself Engr Faruq, only in Nigeria that someone will use the prefix of Engr, yet cannot fix a light bulb.

The most unproductive people ruling the productive will destroy Nigeria

Nackdemall:
At least with infrastructural development

You cannot have any development if the country cannot generate sustainable electricity.

engrfaruq:
You think everyone that uses private jet is the owner of the jet abi? Do you deliberately choose to be this myopic or your myopia is follow come?

Olodo, majority of the governors have private jets. you should ask them how they can afford $20 -40 million to purchase and $5 million annual maintenance.

valentineuwakwe:
What about the German company Siemens that the late Abba Kyari had a deal with? So Egypt will now provide better power agreement than Germany?

This country things just dey tire me sef!

The useless Minister Sale Mamman mess that up.

Sale, also screwed the Mambilla Hydro -Electric project to the point that Nigeria now owes close to $500 million to former contractors who haven't laid a single brick at the dam. This is what happens when a government select incompetent and corrupt official

SEGLIZ:
do you at all know the reason you are enjoying such hours of electricity? I'm sure you don't!

so don't feel elated like you are top of the world, you are still in Nigeria as such it makes no difference. we all still in this mess together.


he isn't lying, he said the truth but I'm sure he knows not why it is like that.

He is a useless liar. Unless the electric companies are delivering electricity only to his town, it's impossible for Nigeria to deliver 24hrs electricity..logic does not like

Nigeria generates 3000 MW in a country of 206 million how can Nigeria deliver 24 hours electricity across the country. Even Countries like Egypt with a Pop of 100 million and Electricity generating 50,000 cannot boast of 24 hrs electricity across the country

Baawaa:
Who owns those private jets,if you want to talk you better talk now?

The owners were at Buhari's son wedding.

Start investigating the current and ex -Governors of Northern Nigeria

The law is design to stop Nigerians in the Middle Belt and Southern Nigerians from arming their people against Fulani and Islamic onslaught.

Why now?

Illegal arms, usually imported, have been proliferated in the North, with Fulani's herdsmen openly carry arms to terrorise farmers, now that Southern Nigerians have started arming the communities, they now want to regulate and control the distribution of arms. Nigerians must be given the right to arms and protect themselves and their families.

Mr Lawan said the bills, namely, Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons Bill 2021 and Explosives Bill 2021, were accompanied by two separate letters dated August 26 and August 27 signed by Mr Buhari.

maxtop:
I dont seem to understand the situation in this country. I heard we supply electricity to Benin Republic and we are still unable to supply for the whole Nigeria. Now if we partner Egypt, are we so sure it will be directed to our immediate needs or we still ant to share with Chad or Cameroun ?

Egypt, boost its power capacity from 22000 MW in 2010 to 59000 MW. Electricity delivery is not rocket science, it starts with having the right people at the helm, dividing the country into independent regional grids that can generate, transmit and distribute electricity in their own region.

CAIRO – 14 April 2021: In six years, Egypt has been able to jump 68 ranks in terms of electricity production from the 145th rank to the 77th, and that success is attributed to public investments directed at upgrade and expansion in the sector.



By December 17, 2020, Egypt's power generation capacity recorded 59,063 megawatts while that of the distribution networks hit 164,000 megavolt-ampere (MVA) rising by 12,560 MVA.


Speaking of 500/220 kilovolt (kV) switching substations, three of those were built in New Ismailiyah, Eastern Sohag, and October 500. In addition, an existing one in Beni Suef Industrial Zone was expanded. The total capacity of the four of them is 6,750 MVA.


As for 66/220 kV switching substations, 14 of those were introduced and expanded, while 30 11/66 kV others were built and enlarged. The total added capacity of the former is 4,280 MVA, while that of the latter is 1,530 MVA.

Maybe I should atleast host you and your grands... Let them see 24 hours in Nigeria..
I am used to 24 hours even more.. I rarely sleep without light for the past 1 year...
I stay in Osogbo and we enjoy light more than any south west state.

Liar

wallstreetnews:
It is a matter of choice

For the unfortunate indigenes of Kano state. You wonder why the Nigeria hospital and schools are not fit for dogs.

I like Saraki's family. They are not fanatics. The wife quote more Bible verses often

That is a fanatic.

Decentdave:
Innovative..Kudos

eMR are not innovative in 2021, this is now ancient technology

richmond500:
Desperate people no go gree make we vote genuine persons.

They will always spend billions to discredit the present govt so that their own voices will be heard.

APC did it to PDP and took power, and now PDP is doing it to APC.
My problem is that Nigerians don't know the real enemy, everything(insecurity, agitation, ND avengers etc) going on is politically planned out

abeg you well tody APC =PDP so how can APC discredit PDP

Yemi Osinbajo this is you in your own word:

“The chief weakness that we have is a human one. Our political, economic and religious elite who have so far proved to be socially irresponsible, has so far been unable to build institutions.

Basic food are not vatable.

If it processed and packaged it will be have sales tax (VAT)

if they won't fire him a few days after being employed in Oron, he can go. Na just the irregular staff thing dey worry me o. 40k wey dey come steady can be trusted than 85k[b] wey go stop after failure to meet expectations[/b]

Why would he fail to meet expectations?

You should join any new organisation with the understanding that you exceed their expectation.

I will suggest that he take his annual leave from his Ilorin Job and test the water at the Maritime Academy for a couple of weeks.

angelfallz:
how many Fintechs would nigeria have biko nu?

We need more agricultural technology (Agritech)

And it is mostly Southerners that are rushing into this fintech of a thing and ignoring agriculture. Yet we the same southerners start frothing at the mouth when the north decide to ban the sale of food items to the south.

It is good there are some agritech in Nigeria by Nigerians. But it obvious with the agricultural products we import that we need more agritech to boost our agricultural sector and achieve food sufficiency and security in our country.
If people are hungry no development can take place.

Nigeria hasn't got enough.

Sunnybay7:
I wonder how the north will survive this onslaught, the south survived the herdsmen madness but will the north remain the same after this? Problem is they will start migrating south when hunger starts ravaging them.

If the Northerners are smart they will retaliate and start adding VAT to livestock and agriculture products like peppers, onions that are produced in the North and consume in the South.

Sammerboi:
As rivers dey come collect their own vat how them go take pay the new recruited staffs? Northerners are in for long ride if they don’t move from over dependent on the FG.

The North has agriculture that they can industrialise and monetise.

Oil has been a cause to Northern Nigeria.

For example, Northern Nigeria has the potential to deliver a world-class dairy industry, together with sugar cane in the North, Cocoa in the SW and Palm Oil in the South-East. Nigeria has a vertically integrated supply chain to deliver a chocolate confectionery industry that can generate billions of dollars. Belgium exported $35 billion of confectionery products and they have to import all the ingredients that Nigeria produces.

The North must prioritise education at all levels and compete.

Watch this brilliant data visualisation of West Africa GDP growth and fall. You will notice the negative impact of Nigeria military government under Buhari, IBB and Abacha and the impressive growth under OBJ, Yaradua and GEJ only for the economy to contract again under Buhari.

Modrov:
Maybe, but consider this



There are 5540 applicants for 100 jobs. Out of which, 767 are actually qualified for the jobs...meaning that's 767 applicants for 100 jobs. That means for every one space, at least 7-8 qualified applicants are fighting for it. And Nass Poly can only take one ....one of every 7..

Apart from the fact that they are a state poly and would be very likely biased towards their indigenes, and even then, not all of them would make it.

Let's be honest....whichever way you look at it...6-7 people are not going to make it per 1 space. ...that's something like 647 people who won't make it. It has nothing to do with corruption. Or with spaces already shared by the big political forces.....it is the way it is. Too many people competing for too few jobs.

At the end of the day, it would be easy for one of the failed applicants to say s/he did not get the job because he did not have the 'connections' or because 'he was not an indigene'. But the simple fact is that s/he did not get the job because there were too many applicants for too few spaces.

That is why Nigeria needs to be like China or Japan...an industrial nation...so that we can have too many jobs outnumbering the graduates. But we want to all live off the revenue we get from raw materials which is never sufficient for our needs.

Industrial development requirement good governance that can enact good policies. You can't build industries in a country that can only generate 4000 MW for 200 million people. Steel plants that are waiting for the Russians to return and tell them why Ajaokuta is not working.

Nigeria must restructure its economy and let the regions with potential develop their capabilities, that is what the Chinese did. They didn't industrialised China, they created FTZ on the coast of China and invited Western and Japanese firms to build factories.

Babanah:
I hope the coup plotters are not Fulani. The Fulani are the majority ethnic group in Guinea but they have never being allowed to rule.

He is not Fulani, but the Fulani's will now position themselves to take over. Alpha Condes mess up big time .
