Jamb is becoming controversial these days..bubu govt.

Igboid:
How exactly did Yorubas deliver GEJ in 2011, what type of " fuckery" is this? Why do you people revel in outright lies and falsehoods?

It is a known fact that despite not being Igbo or from the SE, GEJ main block Vote in 2011 came from the SE.
The turnout for presidential elections in 2011 in SW was poor, simply because none of the candidates were Yorubas. Despite GEJ not being Igbo, Ndiigbo turned up in mass and delivered him. How dare you treacherous people try to re write a history as recent as 5yrs ago, what sort of madness is this?

In 2003, despite Buhari fielding an Igbo VP, ObJ won the SE.
Yaradua also in 2007, despite Buhari picking an Igbo VP, won more Igbo votes.

Between 1999 to 2015, Igbos had voted for A Yoruba president( OBJ), Northern president ( Yaradua) and a Southern minority president( GEJ).

We owe no Nigerian group any votes as it stands, they all owe us One, which we know will not be given.

[s]Your arguments are myopic, thoughtless, halfsighted and totally blind! Why on earth would a country take a loan and get a satellite when it is still going through a recession? There are so many problems out there that needs immediate attention case in point- The Power Sector!

It is so glaring that your oversight on this project is heedless and careless as well as inconsiderate to the plight of many Nigerians who live below $1/day. The government of the day show grow up and seek solutions to necessary quarters not cosmetic solutions to realistic problems[/s].

nairaman66:
There is no point arguing with you! Goodluck with your satellite scam!

nairaman66:
Goodluck trying to defend a white elephant project! Besides, your comments are not making any sense! initially you said I told you Nigeria's satellite didn't last beyond 18 months! So far you have not cleared that argument!

nairaman66:
Please read and be guided Enjoy

nairaman66:
Dude screw google!

nairaman66:
Is that the reason the satellite disappeared? For the records the satellite did not stay up to 2 years

nairaman66:
Besides, the government said insurance would pay for a replacement!

nairaman66:
It is absolutely foolish for the government to get a loan to purchase a satellite when they are myriads of problems facing the country at this time. This move is not only directionless, but nonsensical to borrow and fund a White Elephant in space!

SnowJay92:
A sane country would skip this year, we're in a recession. You don't borrow money for such projects.

SnowJay92:
No, not at all, I don't. we've had more than two satellites previously launched right? Including the one we didn't know how it fell off, how ridiculous.

Polyphony:
Population of over 160m people and we can't generate upto 5000MW and you think it's good abi?
Work on power and everything will follow
This is 2017 bro, wake up

Polyphony:
Are you sure that you're okay?
Power supply is the number 1 thing we need right now. When there's constant power supply, the country will grow both financially and technologically.
You're talking about hatred. Mtchew okpo

SnowJay92:
There are more critical issues, issues like extreme hunger and a failing economy. There should be a scale of preference, impoverishing ourself just to seem like we belong is just tantamount to lying to ourselves. it's just synonymous with that adage about going broke just to look rich.

Chiedu4Trump:
Oga one Nigeria where they kill IPOB with impunity
They say Igbos will never rule Nigeria.
Are really part of Nigeria?

Saintp:
Bros, I don't think there is anybody who will say launching satellite is not good but we have a million more priority ahead of it at this moment. For goodness sake, 550m USD can get us 2 medium sized modular refineries which will solve our immediate fuel problems and boast our naira. etc So why take loan for something like that when there are more pressing issues?

optimus09:
Mr prof,what is communication and technology without power?How do i enjoy the streams if there is no power for my gadgets and equiptment.most of you just want to write something,behave as if you know it all.Guess u are the ignoramus.The west conqured the issue of power from coal,sunlight to reactors before launching their satellites.So ......better u shush if u know nohin.

dabrightt:
TRUTH IS BITTER BRO stop Pretending

dabrightt:
can you just tell me how the first satellite affect nigeria economy hope you remember nigerian exchange rate to dollar don't u knw that is not wat people want right nw...I am sure u are nt living in nigeria presently...if you are that means you have PH(donated) your brain to m m m

TheRealestGuy:
Urgently is the key word, comprehend what you read...

TheRealestGuy:
There's something called scale of preference and opportunity cost you know...
What Nigeria needs urgently now is constant electricity and working refineries...
And this trend of calling everyone haters is absurd...
Moreover, I cannot commend this as there are no timelines given...you cannot be planning something and there are no timelines....

nairaman66:
Oga English!

Wetin happen to the first launched satellite?

spaceshipz:
That is not our problem now. Satellite is not our problem, who will use it when there is no food and hunger is in the land. We have got pressing issues not satellite issues.
Use the 550 million dollars and build industries and create jobs and watch it grow to billions.
Very stupid action, leaving fire to chase rat!!!

SnowJay92:
All the previous ones we've supposedly launched how much connectivity have they given us, we couldn't even locate exactly where chibok girls were hidden a year after their abduction. Launching two satellites in a country where 99% of the industres have to generate their own power from god knows where, is a white elephant project. Very convenient for em, Nigerians won't even be able to confirm what was launched.

Godsate:
So what you are saying now is that it's this satellite that will provide 24/7 electricity, restore lost jobs and make naira regain the lost value.

No matter how foolish a policy is there are some fools that will still buy into it because they 've closed their eye to any foolish thing that the present government are doing.

To the next post bye!
