All you lot accusing Israel of being land grabbers need to read. If Israel really wanted to get all up in Lebanon's grill, they could've taken Hezbollah's stronghold in southern Lebanon, but they didn't. They just sent in the ground forces for a bit to decimate hezbollah, then stepped out like they promised.

Now, here's the part hat should make Israel's enemies proper scared. Israel's got the intel on all Syria's ports, ammo dumps, and naval fleets, but they've been keeping it classy, restraining the IAF from taking over and striking for years, all in the name of diplomacy. But now, with all these Islamic terrorist and rebel extremists running around, Israel's had to take out Syria's air and naval assets, just to keep everyone in check.

It's a right deterrent. Israel's showing it won't hesitate to strike if someone's getting a bit too big for their boots.

Am yisreal chai 🇮🇱!

The deterrent was Russia. Russia provided air cover for Assad army.

mastermaestro:
That's what is baffling me here. Couldn't his advisers have rehearsed this with him moments before the presentation? I hate this kind of embarrassment especially when it involves a leader. Leaders must be protected from public ridicule at all cost.

Monday Okpebholo claims that he holds Master' degree in Policy and Leadership Studies. This is what happens to cheaters

Monday Okpebholo completed his secondary education and obtained his senior school certificate in Jos, Plateau State. Afterwards, he obtained a degree in Business Administration from the University of Abuja and holds Masters' degree in Policy and Leadership Studies from the same institution.

Jayhome24:
Still talking nonsense as usual.

Yes unfortunately Gov. Monday didn't get this right he should haved seen the budget, read it and understand it before coming to the House of Assembly to present it, moreso his aides goofed badly they did bad job, however, you that speak good English pls tell us your achievement till date?
I will only start blaming this governor till he fails to perform because naturally we learnd he is a shy person and a stammered person.

Moreso you talked about drug addict ruling over you but you are supporting obi who is a known notorious drug trafficker infact his PA and his Inlaw was caught with drug in obodo oyibo and he confessed the consignment belong to Obi so what are you talking or you forgot about the news at that time?

Or you want to pretend you never heard obi papa was murdered by his fellow drug trafficker kingpins in drug deal went wrong? Go to his village and confirm what I said.

Dey play...

Monday Okpebholo holds Masters' degree in Policy and Leadership Studies yet he cannot read a simple budgetThe man has been cheating since primary school, if the EDO people don't remove he will destroy the state

to build on when the money he left wasn’t enough to actually get roads done.. something he couldn’t use the money to do.. and electricity he spent money on never changed .. even the 2nd Niger bridge money contract was awarded numbers of time but still wasn’t done .. all those money went to air in na administration .. the most corrupt human as far as Nigeria is concern is Baba.. he’s just too scared someone will do what he couldn’t do cause he was working for his Lords as president .. Baba was a slave

He left the country with less than $5 billion in external debt, $45 billion in FX reserves, and $35 billion in excess crude oil savings. To replace NITEL and MNET, a new telecom industry was developed.

Okete001:
He who comes to equity must come with cleans hands.

Baba too is one of the reasons we are where we are today and the next generations will continue to be.

Baba has his flaws, but he left enough for Nigeria to build on. What have Yaradua, GEJ, Buhari and Tinybu delivered since 2007

Ironfaceman:
Brand new train breaking down or repainted scrap from Shangai. There was a country

The Redline trains are not brand new. They are old second-hand trains from the USA. I don't see this as a problem, the state should purchase better rolling stock.

obedience4:
Russia will never be a reliable partner when it comes to security..

A supposedly world power, watched and did nothing as its ally was overwhelmed by rebels. Now they have lost their only military presence in the middle-east.

Can't imagine this happening to Israel.

The same can be said about Iran. Hamas, Hizbollah and now Assad have all been defeated, leaving Iran isolated and weak. There is no doubt that the Assad defeat was orchestrated by the West, Turkey and Israel, taking advantage of the defeat of Hizbollah in Lebanon.

The problem is who will replace Assad in Syria, going by the record in Sudan and Libya. Syria problem has just started.

Now this is good news.

Very good news: if Nigeria start producing food and PMS, the Naira will continue to appreciate against the dollar

Are you calling the Minister a Liar?

Please return to this post and apologise to me. I deal with fact and not Nigerian gossip.

Kaduna Refining And Petrochemical Company (KRPC)
Address Of Enterprise
KM 16 Kachia Road
P.M.B 2252
Kaduna

COMPANY PROFILE
The refinery was commissioned in 1980 to supply petroleum products to Northern Nigeria with a capacity of 50,000 B/D. In 1983, the capacity was expanded to 100,000 B/D by adding a second 50,000 B/D crude train dedicated to the production of lubricating oils (lubes). In 1986, the capacity of the first crude train was expanded to 60,000 B/D. The expansions have increased the current nameplate capacity of the refinery to 110,000 B/D.

Main Plants
Crude Distillation Unit CDU – 1 (Fuels)
CDU – 1 feeds the fuels train of the refinery. It was designed to process 50,000 B/D of Nigerian crude (a 50/50 blend of Escravos and Forcados) and later revamped to 60, 000 by adding a pre-flash column and a second heater. The unit is designed to late 1970s standards, which make it an energy efficient design.

Crude Distillation Unit CDU – 2 (Lubes)
CDU – 2 feeds the lube. CDU –2 is currently not functioning because the utilities performance is not up to par and cannot support the running of the unit.

Petrochemicals Unit
This unit consists of a production complex with a target of 91 tonnes per day of Linear Alkly Benzene (LAB), which is the major feedstock for the production of detergents. It was commissioned in 1988 and uses UOP process technologies.

RealLordZeus:
Is it not the Kaduna refinery that can not refine Nigeria's crude?

Kaduna refineries can refine both Nigeria's light crude and S Arabia/Venezuela heavy oil

I hope Davido also has one or two things to say about the UK.

The UK doesn't tolerate fake pastors as in Nigeria. The sooner Nigeria closes down all those useless churches, the better.

In the documentary, victims claimed that they were “brainwashed” into believing their financial sacrifices would fund community programmes to rescue troubled youths on the streets of UK from gangs and crime, only to find the money allegedly misappropriated to support the pastor’s lavish lifestyle, including designer wardrobes and luxury cars.

CONVERT AJAOKUTA STEEL FROM STEEL COMPANY TO AGRO MACHINERY MANUFACTURING COMPANY.

KOGI STATE IS A FARMING COMMUNITY.

The industry they need is a company that can manufacture tractors, trolleys and other farming implement.

They should forget about this steel business.

It would help if you had steel to manufacture AGRO MACHINERY

Yujin:
Like North Korea like Nigeria... buying weapons of war while masses are hungry, starving and at the mercy of state sponsored terrorists who destroy farmlands and kill farmers. One already knows for which these weapons were bought. They'll eventually fail though and the evil contraption disintegrated.

The insecurity in Northern Nigeria has led to hunger

gidgiddy:
Not true. You can have the right leaders, but if you have the wrong foundation, those right leaders will become bad leaders

The right leader will transform the lousy foundation- Awo, Amadou, and Zik all transformed that backwards and British-controlled terrority into a modern, democratic and productive environment.

If leaders such as Buhari and Tinubu are acquiring debt beyond the country's capabilities, building projects (Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway ) that the people don't need.

Davido is embarrassed and ashamed of the Tinubu leadership.

Tayorshd87:
Nobody is to be blamed because it has always been like that even before now .

The government always work or implement plans wmjist like a snails 😢

Very useless set of leaders

Stop blaming the leaders or ruling. If Nigerian don't like their government then take the street and bring the government

Pickmycall:
What is the reform Tinubu is embarking on that all the sectors are in total collapse?

I am not here to defend Tinubu; he is a crook and should be imprisoned, but all sectors across Nigeria have been in total collapse since 1999. Nigeria's rail, water resources, electricity and health care have been non-existent. Fuel subsidies are consumption subsidies that deplete the country's FX and should have been scrapped by GEJ in 2012

Pooldrowning:
Come to Ikeja Cantonment and see for yourself. Renovation that was supposed to take just fewer months is now taking up to a year. Soldiers and their families together with their belongings are littered every where without accommodations Sleeping outside in in sun, rain and cold because they had to vacate their apartment for renovation.

So pathetic 😭

Who do you blame? If Nigerians refuse to vote and refuse to protest, who does blame? Why should anyone work hard when the people are docile?

Bornu state can now has the right to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity across its territory. This is no longer a federal government issue. Solar and wind turbines can be installed and set up within 30 days.

Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, what is the status of your senatorial investigation regarding the payment of $500m to Indian Firm GIHL

FG Silently Pays $496m Compensation to Indian Firm GIHL Despite Decade-Old Probe

Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, a senator from Kogi State, faulted paying N1.5 billion annually to the staff of a company that was in a concession agreement with the government.

“The Indian firm could not perform; they denied Nigerians access to the iron ore company for three years,” Akpoti-Uduaghan said.

“Instead of them being penalised for depriving Nigeria of its social and economic growth, we compensated them further by paying them $469 million.

That's what happens when conflict is frozen instead of finishing it once and for all
Syria's military was at their peak in 2020 until that useless peace deal by Russia-Turkey, Iran warned about that deal but the Russia President told them not to worry and that the Turkish military would clear the same rebels/Terrorists that the Turkish and Qatar governments are funding.

But how can the Syria military go to sleep like that, they have been watching HTS since 2020 preparing for something like this,
I still don't know how they lost Aleppo and Hama within days.
Peace Time create weak men

Never negotiate with Islamic militants. Islamist intention has never been for peace but to control. Look at Afghanisthan.

All Nigerian MDAs are failures

mrvitalis:
Tinubu that openly told Buhari to just print more money? Helicopter money like he called it

During Buhari first term Tinubu boys and girls held the economic aspect and the nation nosedived

There is nothing Tinubu is doing now that was not obvious under Buhari people where just to blind

The nepotism? South West APC cornered 70% plus of all the post APC zoned South

The bad economic policy? Buhari first tenure was handled economically by Tinubu recommended boys

Buhari was his own man, and I doubt the South West contributed to Buhari's economic failure included the CBN governor Emefile

Below is the list of Buhari 2019-2023 economic team


1. President Muhammadu Buhari – Minister of Petroleum
7. Ambassador Maryam Katagum – Bauchi State – Minister of State Industry
8. Timipre Sylva – Bayelsa State – Minister of State for Petroleum
15. Clement Ike – Edo State — Minister of State for Budget
16. Richard Adeniyi Adebayo – Ekiti State – Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment
21. Zainab Ahmed – Kaduna State – Minister of Finance

VikingKing:
Nope, it was sold by some Arab Billionaires to a Nigerian Billionaire suspected to be Buharis friend Isa Funtua

Isa Funtua used funds from CBN and Afrixim Bank to buy Etisalat Nigeria and rename it 9mobile. His son ran the business to the ground, and it was taken over by Afrixim Bank and later sold to a UK firm called LightHouse Telecoms, which finalised a $750 million acquisition of 9mobile.

That is Isa Funtua a Northern Nigerian cabal with the useless Emefiele.

I guess the damage has been done by the cabals.

They have already embezzled the money. This is just show for all of una

alanto:
I understand Zulum's stand but he (Zulum) is not thinking for states like Kano, Kaduna, Kogi, Plateau and the likes with some level of activities. VAT is not the only money shared in FAAC

Zulum is a professor of agriculture; what is he doing to develop Agriculture and solar energy in his state? Ukraine is fighting a war and can still export food to other countries. The Northerner elites are lazy.

franchasofficia:
No, it wont work now. It will take us backward now. That time Awolowo implemented it in Western Nigeria was the best time for it not now, and that was why it worked back then. If you replicate it now it will fail. Tinubu have been trying to replicate it ignorantly and it's been failing.



Europe started practicing welfarism government after creating and amassing wealth. They then used welfarism system to ensure wealth distribution.


Golf countries started practicing Welfarism system after the discovery of large crude oil deposits in their lands with small populations. So they used that Welfarism system to ensure equitable distribution of wealth among their small population. Such system won't work in Nigeria that is a poor nation with huge population growth.



What we need is a system of government that will harness our population to create wealth, invent ideas and things we can export to earn FOREX like China, etc.


Welfarism system of government is for rich countries looking for ways to distribute wealth among their population, not for a poor country like Nigeria struggling to generate enough income albeit leadership corruption and looting.

You are getting it mixed up. European welfare started in the late 1800s when people were still poor and fighting each other. I am not suggesting that we have a program of employment benefits and health insurance. However, the country must have limited welfare programs, basic primary school programmes, and primary healthcare.



Jakande free education programme, low-cost housing scheme and affordable health care programme was in the 1980s, years after Awolowo universal education program in the 1950s

Germany
In 1883, Chancellor Otto von Bismarck introduced the Health Insurance Act, which was the first to require mandatory government-monitored health insurance. This legislation also included contributory retirement and disability benefits

Great Britain
In 1911, the Liberal government of Henry Campbell-Bannerman and David Lloyd George introduced the National Insurance system, which included the first insurance-based sickness and unemployment benefit

franchasofficia:
Awolowo style of welfarism leadership worked back then because we were in the formative era, it would fail woefully today. It is what Tinubu has been trying to replicate today not knowing that such era of welfarism is over. That is why every little thing Tinubu starts sharing rice and other forms of palliatives.

The world has gone past palliative system or welfarism system of government.

What we need is a capitalist style of government that will inspire wealth creation, business startups and massive healthy competition. It is after we have built and amassed wealth that we can revert back to welfarism government to distribute the wealth.

Right now, we need a government that will pioneer and inspire more businesses, investments and startups. We don't even need to copy Oyimbo in taxing ourselves to poverty like Tinubu is known for, we need to do everything possible to attract massive investment and inspire new business startups and one way to do them is to relax company and small business tax, reduced interest rate for business startup loans, improved power/electricity, improved national security to give investors confidence to come in and improved FOREX.

Yorubas are not good in all these, they are better in media propaganda and entertainment

Europe and the Gulf states (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE) still practice "welfarism", which is why they have a high literacy rate and healthy children with nourished brains that lead to high IQs.

Nigeria should return to Awolowo's play book and take loans to fund primary health care and universal primary and secondary education.

aviara:
When a Yoruba talks, never take his words at face value because it's always laced with several layers of deceit and treachery.

I speak from experience, what they say is different from what they mean.

So you have experience talking to 47 million Yoruba's. When Abati implies that Igbo don't sell land to outsiders, you will be the first person to call him a bigot. Yet you are insulting the entire Yoruba race.

It is called state capture. They are all doing it, but Tinubu and Buhari have captured more of the state.

PheelzAlmighty:

67% of Tinubu support came from the North. Tinubu lost Lagos and Ogun state. Nigeria needs Tinubu to teach Nigerians that there are consequences if they don't fight for their right to vote.
