No one is stopping us from erecting such structures.
We've been independent for 60+ years and raked in trillions of dollars in revenue.

All told, Nigeria is a black hole for architecture.
From government to private buildings, it's just chaos.

The modernist architecture of some of the high rises and bus terminals in Lagos are a ray of sunshine.
But it's so miniscule and there's even less variation. Neoclassical architecture like the building you referenced are unicorns.

-Lord

We mustn't copy or have the architecture of the west. What happened to developing our own designs?

Meti99:
It was a regret oil was discovered after the British exited Nigeria. Just imagine what they would have done with oil money in Nigeria.
Nigeria is just naturally plagued with unfortunate indigenous leaders

You don't know your history, lol. Oil has been prospected and mined before the so-called "independence".

malali:
Why doesn't the government allow more private investors to set up refineries? We have many small-scale refineries costing between $30-50 million. Even if we don't export, they could meet local demand.

It could boost crude oil production if we license one in every state. We have fewer working refineries compared to crude oil production, unlike countries like Singapore, which don't produce oil but export refined products, contributing to 5-15% of their GDP.

Why not issue more refining licenses? Give one to each region, even the poorer northern states. This could create revenue and jobs locally.

Every region should have a refinery license to produce something valuable for the whole country. Instead of giving oil licenses to individuals, why not invest in the whole state's economy?

It's not fair to ask a whole state to farm when oil can bring in more revenue. Let's share the wealth more equitably and develop our nation together.

You are still missing the mark. All states can't go into the oil business. That's like putting all the eggs in one basket. Not to mention the logistics of it all. It will only take one price hit on the open market to unravel. Every region in Nigeria can produce an industry that will rival oil production, fact.

What you should be saying is let government create an education endowment fund that is being funded by different industries Nigeria could develop. This fund and the institution that oversees it will be responsible in training the citizens in specializations that enable further wealth creation.
As a bonus, government will provide stipends as a form of welfare until people can stand on their own.

yarimo:
A whole governor celebrating drainage 🤣🤣🤣

As for me, I like this thing you are doing. Continue deceiving your fellows especially the 54+ people that liked your comment(s) while we are silently building.
As far as una dey hung for una side, you can insult us all you want, no problem.

Creamypie:
No carry ur nigerian wife come join u for obodoyibo, she go become tiger, women naturally crave for power, that they will abuse. Nigerian men no go learn

"Women naturally crave for power, that they will abuse"

Truer words have never been spoken.

Women crave power so much more than men. I think it's because they know they are very weak, and that knowledge brings about the feelings of insecurity.
Men feel more secure about themselves because they know they have the innate power to build or destroy.
However, women abuse power more because they are more emotionally driven than men. And it makes them feel so good when they scratch any emotional itch they may have.

LilMissFavvy:
If the women are also sent to war, who will take care of the children?. Women are willing to fight for their country, but they need to stay behind and take care of the future leaders(children).

Yes, I was waiting for this comment. I have thought about this too.

The fact is, it's not every woman in Ukraine that has a child. They are many young, single and childless women there.

Besides, if they are left alone and all their men die, these would get picked by men of other nationalities, thereby producing children without pure Ukrainian blood.

So, I say, men and women with children should be allowed to go and raise their families, while others can stay and fight.

Phut:
Who initiates wars and settle differences by violence? MEN
Who are the warmongers and initiators, in the instant case? MEN.
Women by and large involve themselves in verbal conflict resolution.
Please MEN should not involve WOMEN in their MADNESS!!

That's where you are wrong. Women's vote also brought in Zelensky.
Secondly, what is the common denominator in all wars? Greed. Both men and women have it, and can kill for what they want, it has been proven. The only difference is that it's a man now at the helm of government.
Women also supported that Ukraine should join NATO because they were afraid of Russia.

DeepSight:
What is wrong with you. A topic is about a Chinese establishment and you have still started this nonsensical tribalistic BS.

You guys are irredeemable.

It may seems so, but when e begin to happen, somebody will remember that I once said it.

And there it is folks, little by little, Yoruba is losing their lands.
While fighting igbos for starting businesses in Yoruba lands and wishing that foreigners or Fulani will take over their lands, they should know that each square metre given out like these means they will have no access to it in the future.

The only places they might be left would be the swamps and slums.

If in doubt, ask the south Africans, zimbabweans and namibians.

Guys, I think it's time to sell off and buy high yield bonds. Mainly from my analyses of international markets, not necessarily NSE.

What do you think?

Meanwhile, I need to know which broker is the absolute best for trading the NSE?

Zonefree:
I don't want to believe cultists follow dey run too. They should stand and defend their school.

That's the essence of confraternity.

I always say this! If there are strongmen in a place, they should stand up and be counted when that community is attacked or invaded. But if they are cowards, I suggest that after all is settled, those outfits must be pulled down. They only prey on the already suffering weak.

Menclothing1:
The project is privately fund who told you Nigeria have 15 trillion for one road how much is total
Budget for 2024

Then they should have prioritized power first and get the money the same.

Without production, that road would be useless! That is because, where there's increased commercial activity, logistics would increase, hence the roads.

nairalanda1:
The basic problem is the 1.7trillion naira or more in debt the discos owe the gas companies.

And the fact that the debt was caused by the discos not being able to charge a cost reflective tarrif.

Yes discos earned a profit, but that debt to the gas companies dwarfs the profit.

And gas man and woman have gotten tired of selling gas on credit

Modified

Anyone quoting me to abuse or troll me should answer these questions

1.Would you let government set your prices to help the poor?

2..Would you operate at a loss to help the poor?

Thank you.

Why don't government use part of that #15 trillion they want to use and "construct" that coastal road and solve the problem once and for all?

After paying that debt, the management of the discos found culpable should be sacked!

It's funny that people don't know that the FG borrowed $$ to defend the naira.

Let's see how far they can go.

If you know, you know. Women have these weird fantasia when it comes to sex. They will usually want to have sex with the most unlikeliest person maybe because it's boring to them that normal guys like them are going after them.

The same woman who rejects the advances of average male partners would rather go through great lengths to have sex with her grandfather age mate, or minors, or celibate priests, or animals, or the most famous person, or even an item. .... Just about anything else but normal.

BornToSucced:
No sir.

Oh ok

BornToSucced:
This month is my one year wedding anniversary, and I feel i should share my experience thus far, especially for the benefits of other young guys who are eager to follow my path.

The summary of my advice is: what you get out of your marriage revolves around the kind of spouse you end up with. As they say, garbage in, garbage out.

In my case, I have no regret thus far. Sex is great: I sleep better and eat healthy now. No unnecessary spending of money on Lagos broke-ass slay queens. Overall, the benefits far outweigh the demerits.

However, to enjoy the listed benefits above, I have dedicated and sacrificed my time, and intentionally made every effort to ensure my marriage is not a living hell.

As a retired fuc*k boy, I can tell you for free, sleeping with countless women is a highway to the grave. There is nothing to gain in it, not even a trophy. I have been there, done 3sum, and done crazy stuff just for fun. As certificate of achievement, I bagged a Baby Mama

But nothing can be compared to the peace, love, and joy I now enjoy, through Christ who brought me out of darkness

Were you the BornToF"*k guy?

I don't ask for too much, but to select a wife,

1. Communication is absolutely essential. If I am chatting you and you leave me on read, Or it takes you weeks and months to answer me, it's an absolute turn off. Some just wanna play games instead of communicating. Those who don't even answer me at the very beginning still did me a favour. They are not mine.


2. If you are always forming serious that you can't laugh at jokes, how do we solve disagreements? The best way to solve disagreements between us is to laugh at ourselves. 💯


3. If you can't give me anything. Yes, as a man, I can't marry a woman who is not generous to me. No, I won't depend on your resources nor will I be unreasonable for anything I need from you. On the flip side too, when you need something from me, be reasonable. Ultimately, we are both working for our kids. If you don't have that mentality, please shift.


Most men miss these stages then come to complain about the women they "married".


When you dey chaik am, she dey form, maybe she dey wait somebody but after the person don leave am, she con "settle" for you. How that marriage fit last?

Na woman wey love you go do these three things.

Some will love you but can't do these things which are flaws that will cause problems unless they work on them.

IbeOkehie:
But this is old news. Nobody owns any land in Nigeria, it's all government property.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

Lol, I was waiting for your comment. They are just realizing.

This is how you know that CAN is an imposter body.
A "Christian" organization that doesn't know the true meaning of Easter.
Even if you were fasting personally for a particular favor, Easter is such a powerful day of celebration that you get to eat and make merry if you can.

frank33:
All analysts have explained how there were no dollars to give airlines or to settle genuine dollar requests. Hence the need for the president to travel round the world looking for FDI and FPI.

Remember what it has taken to get AFRINEXIM bank 3bn.

All of a sudden you hear 7bn has been cleared and you believe without questions. Mr positive thinker use your brain!

Well, it may be a lie but the exchange rate is reflecting it. Maybe hot air releasing, but it moved, lol.

Newton1045:
Nigerians are so wicked, Igbo traders making calls in the market to hear if dollar is going up...... They quickly double the prices


Now Dollar is down, they say old stock.

I swear to God, if I be Tinubu I ll jail dozen for years for their silly actions.

They make east unliveable. They spreading such attitude everywhere

Oh, na only jailing you wan do? Buhari even flogged people to sell cheaper in the 80s. Did it work? NO!
You have to wait with others while the market is readjusting. If you are wise, instead of coming here to complain, you should have spotted an opportunity to buy goods yourself at a cheaper exchange rate and compete in the market.

This is why good economic policies are paramount for any serious government.

Putindbutt:
That is the wickedness of nigerians to eachother. The cost of food was an artificial inflation and now that dollars is coming down, what's the excuses again?

Old stock. That is until new stock floods the market and the cheaper prices will bring competition, thereby crashing the prices.

Remember this post?

So, is that the aim? To use the bridges to levy pedestrians?
At the end of the day, where is all the money going to?

How do you guys fund Pinnacle (and possibly withdraw) with prepaid cards? Because, I can't seem to access that option on my end here.

mobileboy:
Force all betting companies to send statements of accounts to all their customers every month

The statement will contain their stake, their winnings and their profit/loss

Same thing must be done at the end of every year

When people see the aggregate of what they are loosing to betting, most will naturally start shunning betting

What of those who see winnings in their accounts?

Connected1:
See this illiterate 😂

Na to use VPN bet on foreign betting sites go be the way na.

Laslas na the government lose.

Honestly! They don't know anything. It would only help the wise youths earn in dollars while the mumu that supported the government can't have access anymore, lol.

How I wish there is option trading in Nigerian stocks. I prefer it by far. Seems that the NSE is not developed enough to handle such risk.

If it existed, all these guys fighting whether they need to borrow money or not won't be arguing.

Even stock leveraging don't exist in most brokers or is there?

nyabinghi:
And she voted peter obi

What does her voting Peter Obi got to do with her condition?

freshkpomo:

Well na Igbo people cause that one on themselves, why una go just sit down script map and attach people put behind their back like say them property when them want claim.

What igbos did go out men and women in Biafra war is still very fresh in memory, so benin would prefer to pitch with fellow niger delta majority.

Well, as far as I know, it is up to the people of the lands you speak of to join whoever they want to join. And it better be fast, because now is red period. But instead of finding your way you dey there dey block another person, that is a no no.

freshkpomo:

Let's divide this country but some mumu say no. Una nor know say na because we too get diversity that why the leaders can mess with us. For this Benin when I dey so, of any politician Bleep up, na once we dey agree to vote against am because we are one people and it's much easier. But if you check Edo north, they always vote differently from us because their culture and religion still different. She'll don Bleep up well well for Nigeria and they ought to pay.

While one Edo woman for my compoundside say she no gree make we divide. I ask why, she said because Igbo people go dey oppress Bini (Edo) people.
Go YouTube and see Bini people creating channels to fight Igbo people wey no fight them, instead of tackling the real issues on ground.

Valwezzy:
Wait, what?

Even with Inaki, Ghana couldn’t knack Cape Verde but lost to them? Ayew kidding me?

Chai, they didn’t cedis coming.

Amartey you charlie is highly disappointed, there won't be any partey for him tonight

Anyways, kudus to Cape Verde, the giant killers

Abeg permit me to use this your quote somewhere, lol.
