haywire07:
Diversification is not a question of today. It has been there for up to 30 years ago when Oil took over.

Right now, I mean during this corona crisis, we cannot diversify. We should only be looking forward to sustaining ourselves first.
Exportation has been halted since the borders are closed.

But what about after the pandemic period?

1.We have former Niger Delta militants who were sent to learn production in China.
There are so many university scholars who were granted scholarships to study abroad.
E.t.c
Bring them home. Set up a conducive teaching and production environment.

2.Invest more in agriculture. Continue the ban of rice , chicken and other foods.

3. Encourage SME

4. We don't have to keep exporting our minerals to China. China would mine our metal family here, export to China, build cars and other technologies and sell back to us 200%

E.T. C..

All these might not make up the gains from oil, but it is necessary incase situations like this arise.

In design engineering, whenever you take your new design to review, the review board will task you on using the existing and legacy infrastructures instead of wasting funds on a new design.

Across Nigeria, there are hundreds of infrastructures and plants that have been neglected at the expense of cheap oil exports.

From the Alcon Aluminium plant that is now valued at $10 billion to the redundant refineries plants that were only built in the 1970s/80s, very young by the international standard to the Ajaokuta steel plant that can produce 10 million tons of steel for rails, constructions and manufacturing.

Nigerian has no business in OPEC or exporting crude oil with its arable land and redundant infrastructures, Nigeria can easily transform its economy into a manufacturing hub in less than 5 years by leveraging its existing infrastructures and exploit skilled Nigerian in the diasporas.

Finally, forget about scholar or people that have multiple academic qualifications, they have nothing to offer but hot air and corruption. Nigeria needs Nigerians in the diaspora that have a minimum of 20 years working at the highest level in Europe and America that's the only qualification that interest me.

salford1:

Maybe in Nigeria.

Tesla mega-battery are already powering a town in Australia, The batteries are connected to both Solar and Wind Farms. Nigerian is just to slow in adopting new technology. A serious government will be supporting the replacing of the over 60 million dirty electric generators with clean solar and batteries, imagine the number of low technicians that will be required to set up the solar panel and batteries across the country.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-42190358


The world's largest lithium ion battery has begun dispensing power into an electricity grid in South Australia.

The 100-megawatt battery, built by Tesla, was officially activated on Friday. It had in fact provided some power since Thursday due to demand caused by local hot weather.

Prudency045:
But this applies to the developed countries. How soon will the underdeveloped or developing countries catch up with them.

Don't forget most of the refined products are shipped to the underdeveloped or developing countries.

There will always be a needs for refined products, petrochemical, Natural Gas, Bitumen and Fertiliser this is where Nigeria should be capitalising its export industries by moving up the manufacturing food chain.

peeps4u:
The problem of Nigeria is largely corruption and waste of public funds, not about tax. Lagos is a tax state, what is there to show for it?

Tinubu three private jets and yellow teeth.

Xisnin:
Very soon can mean a century.

Solar and winds are pipe dreams used to cajole people that are not familiar with the industry.
The only real alternative to oil is nuclear which the "green" environmentalist hate.
People will eventually see through the parasitic subsidy being used to prop up the failing industry
and call for accountability.

Oil price will definitely go up.
The majority of the world's power still depends on oil.

Solar is not a pipe dream, factories are now being powered using batteries and solar farm.

Prudency045:
To buttress your point, why will Dangote be building a 650,000 bpd refinery when Crude Oil will be useless as being speculated in some quarters.

For your information, marginal field operators in the country are also embracing the concept of modular refinery.

Definitely, other forms of energy will come. But the question remains, how soon?

Pending when the above question will be answered, Crude Oil isn't worthless yet.

The majority of oil export is for cars, power generators and Electricity power plants with the advent of Electric Vehicle (EV), Solar Energy and Battery and Natural Gas there will be fewer requirements for crude oil export.

Racoon:
This will have terrible economic implications on the oil-dependent Nigerian economy.Meanwhile will the govt of "subsidy under-recovery" implement a further reduction in oil price since it's this abysmally low in the global market?

This is a crisis that can transform Nigeria, oil renting will always keep the country poor and recuring expenditure high.

The government should sell assets to competent investors, the oil refineries and steel plants can easily raise $3-4 billion that can be invested in Mambila Hydro Electric dam. The emphasis should be on an added-value chain export-driven economy, based on finish products such as refine oil and gas, steel, agriculture products, fertilisers and petrochemicals.

blueAgent:
All we need is to copy this technologies like the Asians do.
I have concluded long ago that blacks do not have the capacity to achieve first World Status

Actually, we do when we live among European. The problem is black societies.

NairalandDoctor:
what's wrong with you, what have you contributed in Nairaland not even in your area

He is not lying about his capabilities.

Samdaresd:
All these Nigerian universities, are just abusing the word,"invention", they all need their dictionary.

Majority of Nigerian universities are glorified high schools, the fact that we have to import Chinese engineers to build our rails, roads and electricity cables is a shocking indictment of Nigerian education systems.

I will close the majority of Nigerian universities and invest in technical schools and apprentices programmes.

Toromiroro:
Nigeria is too talented abeg

What talent?

How can they invent ventilators that have already been invented? The engineers should focus on working as technician, repairing broken medical equipments.

Blackfire:
When will Nigeria go to space??

Let's focus on the evolution path of generating 24/7 electricity, basic health care, clean water and modern education to 50% of Nigerian first.

Sharatan:
Oga forget that shii,.. Nigeria doesn't have the ability to conduct such large scale tests. It might even be an avenue for spreading it the more over here in Nigeria, because we can never do something orderly..

Thanks,

I don't understand why Nigerians don't understand the limitation of their government.

TheGoodJoe:
The Federal, State and Local governments need to channel all resources into fighting this virus. A big part of it is massive testing.

Lockdown means nothing without testing, isolating and treating infected ones.

---

French Professor Didier Raoult, who is one of the world’s top 5 scientists on communicable diseases, argued that the approach of mass quarantine (Lockdown) is both inefficient and outdated and that large-scale testing and treatment of suspected cases achieves far better results.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.globalresearch.ca/covid-19-fight-cure-western-pharma-rip-off/5707360/amp

The same French that wants to use Africans as guinea pigs. The testing process cost money and require expensive types of equipment, costing about N10,000 per test. Prevention is the cheapest option for Nigeria.

When the government officials can't follow the directive regarding COVID-19 pandemic, what do we expect from the people?

Nigeria is in deep problem.

traihit:
Seriously I don't understand. We just like sensationalizing everything jare. Someone was asking if the other victims of Covid-19 are beneath Kyari. Well, my answer is, they're not. But have we had anyone whose death through Covid-19 made headlines and shake the whole nation as this? Even BBC calls him "a powerful man in government".

..but are Nigerian mourning the Biggest victim that happens to be one of the biggest crooks in the current government.

AS NIGERIA’S ROGUE RULER IS OUSTED BY COVID19

Nigeria has the tragic distinction of being a nation whose citizens rejoice when their rulers die of natural causes.

The deaths of maximum dictator Gen. Sani Abacha who killed and imprisoned many including myself and the death of Yar’adua who’s secretive cabal also threatened my life were greeted with joy and relief respectively.

The news of the demise of Abba Kyari, Chief of staff to MG Buhari and de facto president in his own right unfortunately reconfirms this sad historical trend.

Abba Kyari was a brilliant lawyer who reportedly made a first class studying abroad. However he utilized his knowledge and intellect not for the betterment of his nation but for the battering of his nation through the most lawless and foolish government ever.

Kyari reigned Supreme as the only unelected non-military person ever to completely arrogate powers of state to himself.

He was implicated in collecting bribes from MTN a foreign company that jeopardized national security by non-compliance with our laws and shortchanged Nigerians of billions of dollars in fines.

Kyari who appointed himself on the board of NNPC also appointed his daughter Vice President of Nigeria’s Sovereign Wealth Fund. In effect, his nuclear family alone was in charge of both Nigeria’s income generation agency and Nigeria’s savings agency.

Kyari was implicated in the shameless auctioning of ministerial posts that brought in the most lackluster and uninspiring cabinet in the history of Nigeria which even included a General indicted for stealing public funds during the Abacha regime.

Kyari then decreed via president Buhari that ministers must see Kyari instead of him.

But Kyari was not just a corporate thief. He stole from the poor too. A relative of Kyari’s who’s father reportedly helped raise him fingered Kyari for duping him in a contract scam. The victim relative who was an IDP and the police officer who investigated his claim were imprisoned and persecuted by the untouchable Kyari.

Under Kyari, the legitimate Chief Justice of Nigeria was unconstitutionally usurped, national elections were hijacked and rigged and the Vice President of Nigeria was permanently quarantined. Kyari will go down in historic infamy as the only man to have surreptitiously and effectively removed a Vice President, a Chief Justice and a President in a democracy - leaving a carcass of a government and a nation behind.

Kyari had the blood of countless Nigerians on his hands according to the NSA, with whom he had a public feud, because of his meddling in the war against terrorism.

From the above resume of wickedness, lawlessness and maximum impunity, it is clear why it will be difficult for Nigerians to moan the passing of a man whom they did not elect but who misruled them with utter contempt and shameless arrogance.

The only redemptive thing about Kyari’s rule is that he managed not to infect several western ambassadors who had the misfortune of meeting him recently. Fortunately, some of these ambassadors have completed their 14 day self-isolation in Abuja without incident.

Kyari’s self-importance was so much that even the military boys at the war front and foreign ambassadors in Abuja were all impacted by his overweening presence.

For a cabal that has disemboweled our democracy from the inside out, this is a major loss for them. For the populace held down and raped by a vicious and unpopular regime, this is not a loss but a plus - that God in heaven rules in the affairs of men.

If we must shed tears for Kyari, then know this:
“As long as our rulers pretend to govern, the people will pretend to mourn.”

Let us be very clear about this, the good book says, “when the righteous prosper, the city rejoices but when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.”

Let everyone ascertain for themselves whom the cap fits.

I call on the remnants of the cabal to surrender power back to the de jure rulers, in the fear of God, and to release Vice President Osinbajo from banishment.

1 million Chinese doctors cannot reverse the hand of God. Therefore kindly fear God and do right by his people - the citizens of Nigeria - and govern well and justly for the benefit of all.

May God have mercy on us all.

This Abba kyari news should rest small now.. He's not the first patient to have died of the Wuhan virus. And, seeing some hypocrites and miscreant trying to force "sympathy on the dead" on us will not work. Live a good life on earth so people don't get to lie at your funeral. Don't try to guilt trip people. Because We owe them no sympathy! RIP Abba Kyari

Abba Kyari, spread COVID-19 when he was alive and now spreading the virus in his grave. There will be no RIP for a man with this record

jaxxy:
Even Prince Charles contacted and didn't know and possible might have spread it to 1 or 2 people. So pls nobody anticipated this and abba kyari went and came b4 it was global pandemic.

Even Atiku once supported Buhari everybody with their reason or judgement.

I am not interested in "Whataboutism theories". Prince Charles was irresponsible doesn't mean that Abba Kyari should be irresponsible. It's only a global pandemic because many countries place profit before the health of the country.

How can anyone support a politician that supported Buhari who spent a large part of his first term in a UK hospital?

BTW, I don't reckon with Atiku, he is even worse than Buhari and an opportunist.

Yenefer:
It’s sad to see Nigerians making a Joke out of Abba Kyari’s death.

He was such a Visionary leader who changed the Life of the average Nigerian since his re-election, transformed our health sector and laid down his life for the greater good.

RIP Sir, your memory lives on.
Dear respected brothers & sisters in Islaam,

Please in honor of Malam Abba Kyari, do not engage anybody celebrating his death. Do not honor those that have no honor & worthiness or return their insult. Our consolation is, death is a debt & nobody is leaving this world alive.

NB: Even if they come to shower the insult under this post, don't respond to them please. Leave the insults there hanging. They will be useful one day. It is like a register. Leave it there. Don't honor people that have no honor.

PS they're SAD souls don't know how to respect themselves and their elders

You don't have a clue what "visionary leadership" means, despite his education and work experience he backed the like of Buhari at a crucial time in Nigeria history. Backing an old unhealthy president is a recipe for disaster.

His irresponsible behaviour during this COVID-19 epidemic is the reason why Abuja is now one of the two epicentres in Nigeria.

FREEMADNESS:
dis country is a joke.


our politician see us as maga.



continue covering ur tracks ooo.

More like the civil servants covering the corrupt track now that the government is forced to audit the account as part of the IMF support criteria. Civil Servants are the biggest crooks in Nigeria.

medTechworld:
Wow... May God bless him.

I wanna ask this question.... Why is the Nigerian govt feeling so relaxed and not bothered about the state of our health factor? We have less ventilators and other facilities yet they are not saying anything... This govt are the worst in the history of Nigeria.

Nigeria has a lot of ventilators, they are just not working. The government should focus on fixing the equipment instead of looking for donations.
BTW Thanks Izzy

Amotolongbo:
Nigeria isn’t indebted to IMF.

We are just planning to be indebted to IMF through the loan application we just tendered and expecting from them

The $3.4 billion from the IMF is Nigeria reserve with the organisation and not a loan.

SLAP44:
You see, voting a bad person will always have grave repercussions.

When we advised a particular region we thought were educated to select a caring president who has their interest at heart and can at least listen to the masses in their time of need, they let hate rule their emotions.

Have you seen how the man you voted for has turned as deaf as a wall since you now need to be cared for in this period of trouble?

Please stop claiming sophisticated and vote for people with a human heart next time, if not, this begging will continue in your region.

Tanku.

What caring president? GEJ and OBJ governments were all about,..looting. Buhari government is no different. Nigeria deserves to be begging, let then revolt if they want good government.

Simplyleo:
Do you think that one is a Nigerian?

Because I don't believe a Nigerian with family members in Nigeria among whom are workers earning directly or indirectly from the National income will open mouth and make such careless remark about Nigeria.

What are Nigerian earning from the National income?

We have refineries that don't work, do you have any idea what India, South Korea and the Netherlands earn from selling refined oil, fertiliser and petrochemical.

The only way Nigeria will diversify the oil economy is when oil is no more in demand. This is where visionary leadership earn their pay.

taibat61:
Point of correction

Poor people are all over d regions in Nigeria

Have u been to villages in Ogun state (south west) to see how poor people r

The poor people that pay tax are mostly in the South.

Basher8583:
Are you poor? Or a careless spender.

He is correct, why is the government sharing funds in the North, the epicentre is in Lagos, Abuja and Ogun state

Shelumiel:
Another publicity stunt to show the gullible that Jubril-al Sudani is on the throne.

It is shocking that Nigerian are this gullible, how will they measure the impact on the community. If they channel that fund via a bank or mobile banking spread over several months, they will have better data on the public and build sustainable infrastructure that can support the communities.

itsme01:




Same US issuing out bans to everyone including our hardworking professionals now posted on their embassy website for Nigeria Doctors to apply

Chinese gave Nigerians 15 highly trained Doctors for free, cargo Plane load of face mask, 50 ventilators, drugs, and reliefs packages, US and Trump extracted their people from Nigeria, banned Nigerians legitimate immigrant , almost ruined Airpeace's Allen Onyeama and now they want our Doctors, pouching and toasting them

What was US response during Africa and Nigeria's Ebola crisis? they refused giving us an experimental drug.. When Boko haram killed hundreds daily what did US do? they refuse weapon sales to Jonathan because we rejected Gay and Lesbianism.

PayPal and Ebay refused registering Hard working Nigerians, Now Alibaba and AliExpress from China registers us and many youth can now trade and do mini importation without being termed Yahoo, infact if not for chinko phones many wont access internet yet they want to use propaganda to make us reject 5G network

Now they are calling our Doctors to their early deaths, since their racist ones wont work, luring us back to deadly slavery

.

Chinese also provide Nigeria with inflated loans that Nigeria cannot afford, have the Chinese consider cancelling the debt..No, have the Chinese put the debt on hold...No.

The debt repayment will be painful

puyol005:
Insensitive politicians.

The message is the home truth, if they refuse to obey the orders they will die ...period.

Now that China has caused the world recession, I like to see whether China will write off Africa debts.

Zigarmy:
It will peak, plateau and dip. Let's maintain total lockdown, sanitize the streets and help people live through this period.

It will not dip if Nigerian continue to disobey the government directive to stay at home and the government fail to supply PPE to critical workers and palliative to the general public.


We all have a role to play.

SweetCunt97:
That Nigerians keep voting in! Why can we vote in people with good credentials and not just silly popularity.

Only God will punish d people that bought this nonsense Idea of change as if they did not experience buhari's abysmal failure as a military leader

Nigerian wanted a messiah so they voted in Buhari.
