TOPCRUISE:
After that match anyone that fumbles either in words or action is referred to as a Bebeto. grin

Reason been that when Bebeto was being interviewed on the possible outcome of the match, he rather didn't talk about their present match with Nigeria but instead talked about Argentina, who had already qualified for final. Bebeto said, Nigeria can never stop them, that, Nigeria don't have the experience to defeat them. He said he is only afraid of Argentina, after they win Nigeria (when they haven't played the match yet).
But to everyone's surprise, Nigeria won them and also defeated their final rival, Argentina putting Bebeto to shame.
They defeated us at the group stage and Bebeto believe they will defeat us again. That Brazilian team was so strong that everyone fear them but dream team1 shocked them. Never say never

PoliticsLet Us Create Our World 'oodua World' Within Nigeria by thedio(op): 4:21pm On Jul 06, 2021
Though the love is lost,the unity of this country is being questioned and the drum of secession is beating aloud but I don't believe separation is the only way out of our problems as other problems would surely arise afterward.
I believe their is blessing in our population and diversity.

As a Yoruba man,I believe we can make things happen,we can create our world within Nigeria. Our fore fathers had this idea and it gave birth to Oodua group of companies.
Instead of raising fund to finance a secessionist group,we can do same to build Dubai/China in the western part of the country.

HOW DO WE DO THAT?
1. Let select some group of people with formidable intellect,people with integrity and charisma.We have them abound.
2. Let the state governors make contributions from the state purse.
3.Let us sell this project to the Yoruba's in diaspora and seek their financial assistance.
4. Let our millionaires and billionaires within the country make contributions.
5.Let the general populace also make contribute,no amount is small, it is our project.
We can start by picking a particular location as our industrial hub. In this area we are going to build a power plant and make electricity available for the project. Our small and medium scale industries will boom in that area and our engineers will have a research base around the hub for modifications and further research.

AGRICULTURE
We can build modern farm settlement in towns that are predominant in farming for example Oke Ogun and Ibarapa in Oyo state and other states within south west.
Close to all these farm settlements are;
1.Processing and agro allied industries.
2.Research institute for high yield seedlings and disease control.
All these will create employment for youths,generate revenue and attract foreign investors as the world attention would be shifted to our region and development will come our way.
Lastly, if this project fails we should forget Oodua Nation because it will surely fail us.

Do I call her bluff? And the backside was like a mountain.... My oh my....the trauma was real.... I went out of the room... Consulted with my guys.... Some advised double condoms... Me? Mba! I maintained a civil relationship with her.... She slept over. Second day she left. We maintained good friendship afterwards... HIV infection is not a death sentence.

BusinessBUA Advocates Liberalisation Of Cement Policy To Crash Price by thedio(op): 1:37pm On Feb 12, 2021
The Chairman and Founder of the BUA Group, Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu, has called for the liberalisation of Nigeria’s cement policy to boost production and subsequently crash the price of the commodity.

Rabiu, however, attributed the high cost of cement in Nigeria to low production capacity.

He also said BUA, one of Africa’s largest conglomerates, has paid for one million doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines for Nigeria through the AFREXIM Vaccine programme in partnership with CACOVID.

The doses of the vaccine, which should be delivered by next week, will be the first delivery of vaccines to Nigeria since the COVID-19 vaccines became available.

Rabiu told reporters yesterday in Lagos that the price of cement, which presently sells for about N4,000 per bag, remains high in Nigeria because the few producers are not able to meet the country’s huge demand.

“That is a simple economics of supply and demand,” he said, just as he faulted the belief that the country is self-sufficient in cement production.

“That is a simple economics of supply and demand,” he said, just as he faulted the belief that the country is self-sufficient in cement production.

The billionaire explained: “Look at the numbers: Nigeria is over 200 million people today in terms of population. If you look at the production of cement, last year, we were under 30 million metric tonnes.

“In fact, last year was higher than the year before, which means that in 2019, we were doing between 26 and 27 million metric tonnes. I am talking about production, and not installed capacity, which is another thing entirely.

“Nigeria’s 200 million people make it about 130 kilograms per head. If you check, you will see that most countries in Africa are doing between 170 kilogrammes to 200 kilogrammes per head.

“So, Nigeria is actually producing less than other countries in Africa, apart from maybe Niger Republic. So, that means that we do not have enough capacity.”

According to Rabiu, whenever any of the plants of the few players in the industry develops a fault, the impact is immediately felt on the price of the commodity, which is passed on to buyers of the product.

According to him, “The moment you have any problem in any of the plants in Nigeria and there is a shut-down or any challenge, immediately, you will see the impact in terms of price going up.

“That is because we do not have any buffer whatsoever. So, it is like hand to mouth daily. The reason why the price of cement went up recently was simply because the was an issue at one of Lafarge’s plants and they had to stop production for few months to rectify that.

“So, as that had happened, the supply from Lafarge reduced by about 25 per cent in Ogun State. Also, one of the plants of Dangote Cement had a technical issue and briefly, they couldn’t load. But that has been resolved.

“But because that took about one month, the price of cement went up to about N4,000, from N2,800.”

According to him, during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, he had advocated for a review of the country’s cement policy.

Rabiu said he advised the federal government to open up the industry to allow for more players, expressing the belief that such would help to crash the price of cement in the country.

“Even though this cement policy is a good one, it must be done in such a way that a lot of players must come in and participate. There is no point in making a policy that only one, two, or three people are able to benefit from that policy,” he said, adding: “That does not make sense. I am benefiting from this policy, but I know it is a bad policy. So, whilst the policy is good, the way it is being administered is not good. You can’t have a policy that restricts so many people from participating, at the end of the day, you are just creating a monopoly.”


He said although the policy had helped the country to put up so many plants, he argued that the government needs to take a second look at the policy, to see how it canbring in more companies to participate.

He described Nigeria’s cement sector as important to the economy, maintaining that, Nigeria has no business selling cement at N4,000.

“Our ex-factory price is still about N2,700 per bag, but cement is selling between N3,500 and N3,800. I had to stop my people from collecting money last week, simply because we are collecting money much more than what we can produce,” he said.

The BUA chairman said there are many other companies that have the capacity and access to funding to be able to compete in the industry in Nigeria, adding that the entire country is sitting on limestone.

“Anywhere you go, there is limestone in Nigeria,” he emphasised and explained: “And the cost of production is probably the lowest in Africa.”
Rabiu urged the federal government to open up the cement industry for more competition.

According to him, the few players in the industry, “are making so much money in the industry and Nigerians are the ones paying for this. I am part of it, but I know it is wrong.”

Rabiu pointed out that the same thing is presently happening in the sugar industry, with the Backward Integration Programme (BIP).

He stated: “In the sugar industry, you have a situation where you have only three players and there is the BIP policy, which states that unless you are seen to be doing a plantation you would not be allowed to do sugar refinery.

“Again, it is the same kind of policy where few people are benefiting and 200 million people are suffering. The business is doing well, we are making money, but how much money do you really need.

“We have 200 million people and they are paying more than what other countries are paying for something that ought to be cheaper.

“Today, I am ready to reduce my cement and sugar prices, if other companies are ready and I challenge them. If you are posting 50 per cent as profit, and Nigerians are paying for that, why can’t you make 25 per cent profit, so that instead of N4,000, they would be paying N2,000 per bag of cement, and it can happen,” Rabiu said.

BUA Purchases 1m Doses of COVID-19 Vaccine for Nigeria

In another development, BUA has paid for 1 million doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines for Nigeria through the AFREXIM vaccine programme in partnership with CACOVID.

These doses of the vaccine, which should be delivered by next week, will be the first delivery to Nigeria since it became available.

According to BUA, the doses will be distributed free to Nigerians at no cost.

Speaking on this development, Rabiu thanked the President of the Afrexim Bank, Dr. Benedict Oramah, for making the purchase possible and the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele, for coordinating the process through the CACOVID Private Sector partnership.

According to him, “BUA decided to secure these 1million doses by paying the full amount today because these vaccines became available only last week through AFREXIM.

“We expect the vaccines to be delivered within the next 14 days and hope priority will be given to our frontline workers who have committed their lives to manage the pandemic.”

He said BUA is committing to purchase 5 million more doses for Nigeria as soon as they become available through the same arrangement.”
