But can't this N350m set up Industries where their parents can work and cater for their children but we are made to believe it's the food they share that attracts the kids to school. Africa and our mentality

The culture of sharing against producing is common among Northern Nigerian elites, they will rather people beg for money instead of investing in industries that will employ Nigerian

jimyjames:
I thought Yoruba's said amotekun is a cheetah not a leopard

Correct.

Amotekun is not mentioned in the Bible, Amotekun means Cheetah and to my knowledge, there are no known reference of Cheetah in the Bible, but the Koran reference Leopard - namir (نَمِر, leopard)

Seriously, do we need Chinese companies to build railways lines and rail stations? I can understand the importation of Chinese locomotives, but rail construction is basic civil engineering.

We should be ashamed that 60 years after independence, we can't operate refineries, steel plants or operate and maintain our roads and rail networks.

Sterope:
“You cannot blame Muslims for crying out when you ask them to bring birth certificates from churches before joining Amotekun'

I saw the silly requirement. They better see to it. The draftsman should be questioned.

When did church supply birth certificate?

JAWBONE:
Somebody should investigate how Ishaq Oloyede acquired his professorship. I can't believe an educated individual will make such foolish statement.

Amotekun is Christianly because it is mentioned in the Bible? A word that anybody can use. Is it that this man just sits down and think about ways to cause trouble or create divisions where there is none.So If a word is used in the Quran, then it is Islamic? Good heavens!!! This man must have a secret agenda he is pursuing with his MURIC group. Always playing the victim card when we know muslims in Nigeria are well positioned everywhere you go.

The public must be very observant of this bigoted mischief maker

I agree

Ogonimilitant:
The Fulanis are using this man to create division in Yoruba Land.
He is the one who always bring the issue of Yoruba Muslim and Yoruba Christian.

The man was the one that thought the Igbos that there are Yoruba Muslims and Yoruba Christian
and he is actually intensifying this agenda.

Yorubas have never been divided by religion. Its obvious that the aim is for them not to speak with one
voice which this man and his group have achieved.

Anything that happens in Yoruba land, the man will make sure he gives it religious colouration.
Any Yoruba person who thinks that they can work together with one voice again is dreaming.
Amotekun has been destroyed by this group and will never work as planned again.

That is what the Caliphate wants and they have achieved it using religion.
that is the same way they used Akintola against Awolowo.

I just pity the Christians and the traditional worshipers in Yoruba land.

Biafra is not your Problem. I can conveniently tell you that it easier for Biafrans to leave Nigeria
than for Yorubas to break away from Nigeria to achieve Oduduwa republic.

The Yoruba Muslim will never let it happen

Amadou Bello succeeded in splitting the SW by first splitting the region into Western and mid-western and was also responsible for the unrest between Akintola and Awolowo. The current Fulani's cabals are very smart they have found a fool within the West that can sponsor regional division to serve their political ambition.

Fulani's are dominating across West Africa, The main opposition leader in Guinea is Fulani, the newly elected president in Guinea -Bissau is Fulani, the current president in the Gambia and Senegal are Fulani, the vice -president of both S Leone and Mali are Fulani and until recently the president of CAR was Fulani until they were thrown out of the country.

We have the potential to excel in Nigeria, but we have trust towards one another and it's killing the potential.
We need to change

Corruption, insecurity, poor governance, low productivity and high debt profile are some of the bottlenecks against Nigeria fulfilling it's potential.

Arrewa:
Killing our people in the east... And still coming on Nairaland to boast about the killings...

But note: if our people retaliate by killing your own people don't start crying Genocide and yearning for international sympathy...

Fulanis doing their business in the east were murdered in cold blood... And I can see some southerners in full support of these Atrocities...

Were the Fulanis killed bandit?? No
Did they attacked anyone?? No
Did they try robbing anyone?? No

They were killed because of the tribe they found themselves in...

If we start our own now they will start crying Genocide...

The highest thing you will do is to start killing Nigeriens migrant...migrants from Niger republic that you believe are Hausas... Just the way you massacre them at onitsha thinking you are killing the Northerners while you people suffered real casualties in the north...

Right now... Na una start the killings
Killing Nigerians doing their business just because they were perceived to be fulanis

Instead of blaming the criminal element within the Igbo communities, why not start with the failure of the government to find a lasting solution to the herdsmen militant, by removing the herdsmen from the South.

Nigerian have had enough of the Fulani's

Osagyefo98:
For where?

Go and read the statement of your people on newspaper about the development

Yoruba's are not my people, but any Yoruba that object to this project is a fool.

brodalikeme:
Saudi Arabia is waking up too fast. Under their korokoro eyes, UAE has become the hub of everything development and tourism in the Middle East with Saudi fading into irrelevance.

The insanity in Nigeria wont let us see beyond the god of ethnicity, religion and greed that we worship.

Has it ever occurred to you that UAE and S Arabia are comprised of the same Semitic Arab ethnic group, while Nigeria is made up of diverse ethnic groups with diverse culture, language and religion, the fact that Nigeria has lasted as one unified country is a miracle, when you considered similar countries such as Lebanon, Syria, Yugoslavia and India are permanently in a state of war or have completely separated.

Major Causes Of Traffic On Lagos Roads...poor government planning and organisation. The rest are symptoms of the above mentioned

midolian:
How more empty can you be?

That a person defends Buhari means he/she can not have genuine sympathy for Leah?

You mean all the years you wasted supporting Mr clueless, you didn't have sympathy for those affected by his clueless governing?

Buhari is impotent and weak, he has lost the right to lead Nigeria.

samintegrity:
How can we be spending $1.3 billion US dols on 750mw??

Seriously is Nigeria Ok at all?

This project is padded .

Chinese funded projected are usually very expensive. Normally a 750 MW power plant would be in the rage of $700 to $1 billion if the source of funding in local.

Bigflamie:
Buhari playing smart one on the Yorubas.

Y'all should be able to get this subtle message

The Yoruba's support the relocation of Shipping traffic to the East, it has been long overdue. There is more than enough business to be shared by all ports facilities.

Rosskiye:
The USA is the world's largest debtor nation. Currently owing $23.16 TRILLION.

I guess their leaders ain't super creative either, so we're in good company.

USA is also the most productive nation in the world with export valued at $1.6 trillion. Nigeria export was $35 billion with a debt burden of $81 billion.

I am not against debt, but wouldn't it be wise to fund a joint venture with a private enterprise to construct an assembly factory that will assemble tractors and farm equipments for local use and export.

Nigeria once had a Fiat tractor assembly factory in the 1980s

There goes Nigeria wildlife. Good luck to those that want tourism in Nigeria

Sorry for posting this here but nairaland education section doesn't respond

since there's no robotic engineering in Nigeria, after conducting my research I finally discovered that the closest course to robotic engineering is mecatronics and I decided to take the course which is mecatronics but what's your advice?
Please is the course good and what's the best university to study it.

Mechatronics is the undergraduate level, of Robotics Engrs, is what you study at post-graduate level (specialisation)


From Google

Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary between mechanical, electronics and computer engineering. Robotics can be considered as part of Mechatronics as it involves these mechanical, electronics and computer engineering fields.

Where is the forest?

Deforestation in Nigeria is critical.

Nigeria must industrialise cattle herding(Ranching), to reduce conflict between farmers and herdsmen

Conflict over fertile lands threatens Nigeria’s food security
A deadly ethnic battle sparked by cattle-herders is driving farmers from their land -FT.com

The potential for agricultural expansion is massive in Nigeria. According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, Nigeria uses only half of its 71m hectares of available farmland. For Joseph Lengmang, the director-general of Plateau State’s Peace Building Agency in Jos, the state capital, there’s a “clear association and correlation between the risk of attacks and violence and low agricultural productivity”. 

Amnesty International estimates that more than 3,640 people were killed between January 2016 and October 2018 in clashes over access to pasture in the Middle Belt. This represents about a third of Nigeria’s land mass and includes some of the most fertile farmland in west Africa, say experts at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture in Nigeria. 

The conflict is also adding fuel to already heated religious tension since the majority of Fulani herders are Muslim and most of the farmers under attack are Christian. Yet some Fulani have also been reportedly attacked by farmers.

Brighton Karume, a Zimbabwean agronomist working in Nigeria, says that “until someone solves this, it will be hard to unlock real agricultural growth here because security is a big concern for investors”. The conflict is hampering the Buhari administration’s plans to reduce the country’s food import bill — about $6bn a year, according to the United Nations — and to increase farm exports, to reduce Nigeria’s dependence on oil as a source of foreign currency earnings. 

Until someone solves this, it will be hard to unlock real agricultural growth here because security is a big concern for investors

“This land is perfect for agriculture and because it is so fertile herdsmen want it for their cattle,” says farmer Lawrence Zongo, who leads the Committee on Rural Rights and Empowerment in Miango. After herdsmen attacked his farm in July, he was forced to move to a place where he feels safer, but where there is far less land to grow millet, soya, and corn.


The cattle-grazing crisis has wider implications. In Africa’s most populous nation, about 60 per cent of livestock is managed by pastoralists while 88 per cent of farmers are smallholders producing most of the country’s farm output, which accounts for some 21 per cent of gross domestic product.

“You know what this conflict does? It limits the potential of agriculture,” says Rotimi Williams, a 37-year-old entrepreneur who owns Kereksuk Rice Farm, until two years ago one of the largest commercial rice farms in Nigeria. He had to freeze production on his 45,000 hectare site, due in part to attacks on his farm in Nasarawa State. 

Across the river from his farm are Taraba and Benue states, both known for clashes between farmers and herders, but also between the Jukun and Tiv communities, who have been killing each other over land disputes, explains Mr Williams. “There’s no future in agriculture in Nigeria until we solve this strife,” he adds.

Xisnin:
There was never a $16 billion dollar spent.
Nigeria neither has that money nor did it borrowed it.
The proposal was to spend $16 billion dollars, about $2 billion dollars was eventually spent on independent power projects.
It is not a surprise why the contractors and ministers involved in the projects are not on the top list on EFCC
since that would have been used to humiliate OBJ. This is not a defense of anybody because fraud is always involved in
any government contract but it is important to set the record straight.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it" ..........Joseph Goebbels


OBJ as bad as he was as president, he left Nigeria with it's lowest debt and largest foreign reserves.


$16 billion was the planned budget but less than $2 billion spent, I blame OBJ for his lack of foresight and planning, had he embarked on the electricity programme much earlier in his government he might have delivered some results. The same cannot be said of Buhari government that is full of hot air and about to double Nigeria debt profile.

Born2Breed:
You are in deep shit sir.

Get a lawyer right away to look for loopholes in the agreement so you can get your documents back.

I doubt though.

The only loophole is the man that allowed his house to be used as a guarantee for a loan. If I was lender I will immediately contact the bank that issued the loan and arrange a repayment plan. I 'm beginning to worry about the sanity of Nigerian.

Uyi168:
Where are the bushes and the tall trees...

Nigerian don't appreciate nature. The trees were cut down for firewood and the wildlife devour for bushmeat, then some stupid Nigerian will start preaching that Nigeria should start promoting tourism to visit these drab buildings that look like a US maximum prison.

Universities should promote creativity and intelligence, the building should go beyond functional construction, but promote the local environment and culture of that community.

The more reason Nigeria must be on the US terrorist watch/ban list.

goslowgoslow:
See the way Nigerians run down their country.

Telling the truth about Nigeria might be the only way we save the country.

Why will any country release 602 Boko Haram terrorist when they are still at war with the country, what is the logic of that decision?

goshen26:
In as much as I feel sorry for him because of his career, but should serve as deterrent to other Nigerian coaches who collect money from players to feature them.

Good but not rich players will attend camp, only for them to pick rich guys that join camp few days to the end of the camp

I was shocked when journeyman Michael Uchebo was included in Keshi 2014 world cup team at the expense of better qualified Nigerian footballer.

I wish Siasia the best of luck but he should consider appealing to wealthy Nigerian or the NFA.

A Friend Wanted Me To Lend Him Money I Told Him This. Am I Wrong?

So a friend of mine told me that his girlfriend is about to lose her admission, because school fee deadline is tomorrow. He asked me to lend him 70k.

I know how he loves this girl so I asked him to fill a form before I give him the money. Am I wrong for doing that?

He started saying a whole lot of things and has not spoken to me since. Note this is half of all my savings and I have a purpose for this particular fund just that the time has not come.

Advice is needed please

You have done the right thing. Friends will normally exploit your relation and refuse to pay back the money.

In future, just say you haven't got the money.

I have four former friends that own me thousand of dollars, there will never be a fifth borrowing friend.

Damnnnnn niggarrr

"Investigations were opened after her successor Carlos Saturnino raised the alarm about “irregular money transfers” and other dodgy procedures."

Exactly!!! When they are in power them go dey misbehave.
We go soon know if buhari and his niggars were real niggarrrz when them dey power.
Just a matter of time.
May Allah give us a good successor

The present will always become the past

The minister of petroleum has locked down the opaque NNPC. Since Buhari has been in government has there been any improvement with NNPC.

Arrewa:
As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, i think this amoketun issue is being hypocritically blown out of proportion to expand hatred for other tribes especially the Fulanis. Why must we Christians be the brain behind the vast support for Amotekun when the Nigerian constitution is clear about the roles of the armed forces and police in the security of the country? Why must we form an ethnic militia to target fellow Nigerians when the constitution guarantees freedom of movement and doing business nationwide as long as we are Nigerians? What we fail to realize is that the south east cheering on Amotekun sees its as a synonym for their biafra agitations and they will rather support anything that will disband the relative peace and unity of Nigeria. The IPOB sympathizers will be the one to cry wolf when Amotekun starts targeting their tribesmen who commits various crimes in the south west. MURIC recently condemned the killing of a CAN pastor and sympathized with we Christians, how many Christians will condemn the killing of an imam or Muslims? Instead we rejoice when tragedy strikes them forgetting we are all humans before religion. Instead of emulating our Muslim brothers who have remained silent on this issue of Amotekun, we Christians are disturbing the cyberspace with hypocritical comments. Amotekun will never see the light of the day as long as we remain one Nigeria. It's a bad policy and a tribalistic security outfit aimed at persecuting other Nigerians. On behalf of we Christians, i condemn Amotekun. Let's learn to live in peace and harmony

My Dear Born Again Christain,

What you fail to appreciate is the ongoing insecurity in Nigeria and the arrogance of the Fulani ruling class are some of the reasons for the Yoruba nation needs regional security. Let's not forget that the only Yoruba land under occupation is Kwara state under the guise of the so-called Illorin Emirate.

A country that can't defeat Boko Haram will now fight a war with it's most industrial region - the South West.

Can anyone share images of the medical school facilities and infrastructures?

Which teaching hospital will be used for clinical studies and research?

24/7 Electricity to all Nigerian is not an impossible task, in fact, it can be easily accomplished if the country scale electricity generation, transmission and distribution to regions. I like to see the SW, SE and SS withdraw from PHCN and build their own regional electricity infrastructures.

OnankpaBa:
seriously

People security cannot be negotiated
