If wheat grew in Ife yeas ago why can't we grow it now?

Nigeria once did, in huge commercial quantities, apparently. I think it may have been in the 80's or early 90's. I read it as a youngster and believe this is true. Nigeria also was harvesting huge quantities of prawns. Nigeria exported all these to America. Eventually US began to put pressure on Nigeria to cut down on wheat production due to balance of trade issues. And due to the threat Nigeria's prawn export was thought to be causing US producers, Nigeria's prawn export was slapped with being contaminated and stoped.


Ironically the US now import prawns from India that are reportedly contaminated without sanctioning them.

Given his wealth, I would never take myself that seriously. I cease to matter, there's so much I would do for Nigeria. I have a ton of ideas in my head, so many, many projects, I'd like to carryout but don't have the financial means.

Hope his people are able to overcome and not be damaged emotionally. I hope it's fake news.

Didn't read so excuse me. Are off duty police officers allowed to keep thire weapon?

In May 18, 1938, the son of one of America's wealthiest families traveled to the Asmat region of Southwest New Guinea. The region was home to primitive natives. He traveled there ignoring warnings. Shortly after Michael Rockefeller disappeared from the face of the earth, presumed consumed.

The Rockefeller family exerted thire considerable wealth and political influence in attempts at returning him to America. In the eventuality, nothing worked. Thire son was lost.


What would be the point abusing America and insulting the President for the failure of retrieving the boy or allowing him to travel there in the first place. Michael Rockefeller chose Asmat Papua New Guinea and traveled there of his own volition.

In any case, subsequently, America devised Advisories on the different nations of the world where Americans may wish to travel. If Americans fail to heed any of these advises and find themselves in trouble anywhere in the world, America the nation has the ultimate escape clause - the individual's responsibility.

RealityKings:


Hello Mr. Do you understand my post?

I did and I was wondering how you came to expect respect from peoples that are self-evidently too primitive to know what respect means.

RealityKings:


Its pathetic how Nigerians are not respected

Reserving your ire solely for Nigeria when foreign Nations transgress against Nigerians contributes hugly to this.

Why aren't apparently concerned Nigerians like you condemning Benin Republic ? Why have none of you pointed out that Benin Republic is evidently a barbaric and primitive nation without rule of law if they can treat a suspect in the manner reported. Is chaining a man to a bed not a human rights abuse incident? Why is this not discussed?

I have no doubt that had the case been the reverse, if a Biniose pastor was chained to a bed by Nigeria justice system , that individuals like you would Benin Republic people in condemning Nigeria using the most derogatory possible.

Foreign forces work best and do the most damage to Nigeria when they can hide thire mischief behind you pointing fingers at one another. See Bokoharam terrorism.

Dangote should have worked entirely with the Chinese on his refinery. Massive investments such as Dangote Refinery and Adjukuta steel are potentially transformative. Too many forces are against Nigeria becoming an industrial Nation with the ability to exhert itself as an independent influential force on the world stage.

Simply put, a powerful Nigeria is none threatening to the Chinese. It will not impact thire philosophy. They will help Nigeria without subterfuge. However a powerful Nigeria, while not arguably threatening to the race of people Dangote has chosen to primarily work with, a powerful Nigeria is an offence to them habitually and philosophically because they have become symbiotic with white people and the West.

Understand this and know peace.

List the number of nations that embarked on massive infrastructural drive in other to revive the Nation in the face of faltering economy, mass unemployment, poverty and hunger?

ChatGPT
Several nations have embarked on massive infrastructural drives to revive their economies, especially during periods of economic downturns, mass unemployment, poverty, and hunger. Historically, notable examples include:

United States: During the Great Depression in the 1930s, the New Deal was implemented, which included massive public works projects to create jobs and stimulate the economy.

: In the 1930s, undertook extensive infrastructure projects, including the construction of the Autobahn.

China: In response to the global financial crisis of 2008, China launched a significant stimulus package focusing on infrastructure development.

Japan: Following the economic stagnation of the 1990s, Japan invested heavily in public works to stimulate growth.

South Korea: During the 1997 Asian financial crisis, South Korea implemented infrastructure projects as part of its recovery strategy.

Brazil: In the early 2000s, Brazil undertook large infrastructure projects as part of its growth acceleration programs.

India: Recent years have seen India investing heavily in infrastructure to boost its economy and address unemployment and poverty.

Each of these countries recognized the importance of infrastructure development as a means to stimulate economic activity, create jobs, and alleviate poverty and hunger during times of economic distress.




Pre 1945, several nations undertook massive infrastructural drives to revive their economies, reduce unemployment, alleviate poverty, and address hunger. Notable examples include:

United States: The New Deal (1933-1939) under President Franklin D. Roosevelt included large-scale infrastructure projects like the construction of dams, bridges, roads, and public buildings to counteract the Great Depression.

: The Autobahn construction and other public works programs under the Nazi regime in the 1930s aimed to reduce unemployment and stimulate the economy.

Soviet Union: The Five-Year Plans initiated in the late 1920s and 1930s under Joseph Stalin focused on rapid industrialization and infrastructure development, including the construction of factories, railroads, and power plants.

Italy: Under Benito Mussolini in the 1920s and 1930s, Italy undertook several infrastructure projects, including road building and land reclamation efforts.

Japan: In the 1930s, Japan pursued aggressive industrial and infrastructural development to its military ambitions and stimulate economic growth during periods of economic difficulty.

These efforts were characterized by large-scale government investment in public works and infrastructure projects aimed at economic recovery and modernization

Exactly... I have always known the guy had nothing

Anyone who thinks building infrastructure right now is a good thing is a fool

Its funny how people attacked my for my statement above... Nigeria has a long way to go

Nigeria debt to GDP is right now over 50%
Nigeria revenue to GDP is about 7%
Nigeria revenue to debt servicing+recurrent expenditure is 300% minimum

And a normal human would think building infrastructure right now is what we need ?

Buhari built infrastructure what was the results ? Increased recurrent expenditure without any net increase in revenue

Who really swear for Nigeria

Can't recall right now so will possibly need to look it up but, ogar, embarking on massive infrastructural drive when a nation's economy is faltering, leaving masses unemployed and hungry, is precisely what several Western nations did to revive thire nation and economy. If memory serves me, I believe that after the first world war, did precisely this as did Russia.

What Nigeria couldn't do is what they are doing.

What Nigerians did Kenyans can't do either, can Kenyans kill and Eat their police men?

Can Kenyans declare and enforce Sit-at-homes in protests?

Wow, look at the number of weapons. Nigerians are not poor.
You people build house at the drop of a hat. You erect structures quicker than authorities can pull them down. Let herdsmen destroy farms full of crops. People pull down electric power plants, and take newly built bridges apart. You have virtually free trains.

To an honest, impartial observer, Nigeria looks like a place drowning in wealth, which explains the disorganisation. Imagine a castle whose inhabitants are so bloated by food, wine and decadence, throwing custard pies at one another, slipping and sliding on gold coins, while rats and mice scurry across shelves and under tables feasting on garbage that lack of organisation allowed to build up.

Hec, if there's a God, he/she/it is probably angry with Nigerians or ought to be for being so wasteful. Yours is a land lacking nothing but the ability to see your blessings.

Has Federal or State Nigeria governments outlawed begging at airports in addition to other federal/state institutions?

Are there signs placed in strategic points at Nigeria airports warning the public that anyone caught begging, touting, soliciting, hawking may face prosecution resulting in heavy fines or imprisonment?

FG won’t bring food to your table, go back to farm, Delta monarch charges Nigerians



To mitigate the current ravaging hunger in the land, the traditional ruler of the Idjerhe Kingdom in the Ethiope West Local Government Area of Delta State, His Majesty Monday Obukowho Whiskey Udurhie I, has urged Nigerians to take advantage of the rainy season and return to the farms.

The journalist-turned-monarch, who stated that Nigerians should not expect the government to bring food to their tables, also emphasised that the Federal Government should address herders-farmers clashes, which he acknowledged are partly hindering farming activities in communities.

HRM Whiskey made the plea while discussing some critical issues with journalists at his palace in Idjerhe Kingdom on Monday.

“Let’s consider encouraging this government. Take the issue of hunger now. Some of us fail to understand that no government has ever brought physical food to anybody’s table.

“One thing I want the government to do is to see how they can decentralize their farming method.


“The Southwest has vast, arable land. The same applies to the South-South and Southeast. Therefore, fertilizers should be distributed along geopolitical zones.

“So, if a particular zone refuses to use theirs for farming, the next season we’d ask them why crops peculiar to their zone are unavailable.

“There are traditional tomatoes that our people here are accustomed to. Before you bring tomatoes from the north to the south, they’d spoil in no time. And then we blame the government.

“The government should holistically address the issue of the farmer/herders crisis. If, for instance, we form groups and decide to farm, I don’t see how 20 or 30 herders can take over the entire community.

“We should return to our traditional occupation, which is farming. We still have people who practice traditional farming. We should encourage them.

“Blaming the government for everything is ridiculous, as if it’s the government that will give us yams, cassava, etc.


“I have a different view. The government should also encourage people to return to their farms by improving the country’s security architecture so that if someone has worked hard to cultivate a farm, no one should come and destroy it,” he pleaded.

The Delta monarch, who criticized oil multinationals for describing the Niger Delta terrain as difficult when it comes to developing the region, called on President Bola Tinubu to expand the scope of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Ltd (TSSNL).

According to him, the effective security surveillance work of TSSNL is gradually restoring aquatic life to the Niger Delta region due to reduced oil theft and pollution.

“We thank God that TSSNL is doing well. We appreciate that it is helping restore our environment and aquatic life to a large extent.

“If you go through our rivers nowadays, you’ll see clean waters, and aquatic life is returning compared to the past. And this is due to the activities of TSSNL.

“It has shown that it has the capacity and commitment to grow our oil and gas industry. If we must move forward, there’s a need for more encouragement.

“I thank President Bola Tinubu for renewing the operating license of TSSNL. I’m also appealing to him to expand the scope of TSSNL’s job beyond the present scope.

“They should consider expanding TSSNL’s scope to foster a better environment. The Federal Government should encourage TSSNL to do more so that more hands can be engaged.

“He’s seen the terrain firsthand. TSSNL’s presence has reduced pirate activities in our rivers. Our people are returning to their fishing vocation,” he disclosed.


HRM Whiskey, who recently earned an academic PhD from Delta State University (DELSU), Oghara, urged Nigerians to President Tinubu, stop ethnic profiling of leaders in power, and refrain from portraying Nigeria negatively on social media.

“Nigerians should be their brother’s keeper at the local, state, and national levels. Our leaders at all these levels need our and encouragement.

“I’m appealing to Nigerians that we do not have another country. The only one we have is Nigeria. The way and manner our people condemn leaders and government is unbecoming.

“We often forget that social media is a record keeper. You’ll either benefit positively or negatively from what you’ve said on social media. So, I’m appealing to Nigerians that this government is just a year old.

“I also think that President Tinubu needs our and encouragement. No matter how powerful you are, there’s what we call local .

“If he has no locally, how will the international community him? You can’t start with crises from the beginning to the end.

“We need to go back to the drawing board. Ethnic profiling and colorization of attacks won’t take us anywhere. We all have a role to play in the sustenance of peace and security in Nigeria.

“I strongly believe that collectively we can do better. Encouraging those in power is crucial. God has a hand in every government that comes into power."

Poor Vandals. As a Nigerian, I sympathise with the Vandals that were among the first groups of peoples negatively stereotyped by means that would later evolve into Western Media.

The Numbskulls turned Burnedskulls attempting to sack Nigeria's electricity infrastructure, do not deserve the title Vandals that justifiably sacked Rome circa 455 AD.

The 18-storey five-star Tower Hotel project in Bayelsa State aimed to attract tourists and provide high-end accommodations.
The project cost initially put at 8 billion naira had to be put on hold after the contractor demanded an upward review. This is after 6 billion naira had been released.
Number 9. Abuja Millennium Tower.
Amount Spent: 34 billion naira.

The Millennium Tower and Cultural Centre project in Abuja began construction in 2006. At 170 meters, it is the tallest structure in Abuja. Despite being topped out in 2014, the project remains incomplete. The FCT Minister once promised to finish the project, but costs have ballooned from 50 billion naira to over 200 billion naira, with 34 billion naira already spent.

Number 8: Tinapa Resort.
Amount Spent: $350 Million.

The Tinapa Resort in Cross River State, designed to be a shopping and trading paradise, has fallen short of its potential. Initiated in 2005, the project was meant to transform 80,000 square meters of retail space into a bustling economic hub. However, despite $340 million spent, the resort remains largely unoccupied, a stark contrast to the vibrant center it was intended to be. This project, a legacy of former Governor Donald Duke, now lies in waste.

Buildings, lights and resort type infrastructure will not attract tourists to Nigeria in meaningful numbers. Nigeria's strengths is culture. Nigeria needs to invest in this area to maximise her visitors attracting potential. Resorts, fancy buildings, and spectacular lights should be viewed as complimentary. After touring Nigeria's cultura offerings , resorts, high quality buildings, roads and the rest should act as places for tourists to wind down and savour the memories of Nigeria before departing.

Haven't bothered reading responses because I already know most will be about how Kenyans are doing what Nigerians cannot. When in reality there's nothing Kenya can teach Nigerians about democracy in all its ramifications. Nigerians protests, riot, tear down things, blow themselves up as terrorists, kidnap expatriates, force people not to work on Mondays, protest fuel subsidy, protest minimum wage, protest police harassment, even literally kidnap and eat polices officers in the process. Nigerians have been there, done that and have police officers bloody T-shirts to show for it


But of course Nigerians are going to forget it all an hail Kenya as doing what Napoleon couldn't do!
