After winning the case, what happened to those Nigerians who were involved in this crime? Nothing! @woye1 the reason we keep having issues like this. P & ID case guys were never prosecuted...what a country!

Abuja Lokoja road completely blocked. I haven't covered 500 meters since I joined over 3hrs ago. We don't know what blocked the road, some said the construction company used their equipments to block the road...this is not fair! The government should help Nigerians.
Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi made his own comment regarding Atiku’s statement on returning the subsidy.
Subsidy removal is a decision that many presidents failed to take because they were afraid of losing the election in their second term.
“Atiku is either lying, or he doesn’t know the job he is coming to” ~Emir Sanusi Lamido.
Take a listen here👇
@KariLakeR1 That's nonsense! Must they pray on the road if not to cause trouble. Religion is a personal thing, hence they should go and pray in their homes or mosque
@OjiRe66585 Some people were naturally born to amplify negative news, but when it comes to good news, they go dumb and deaf...evil people don't see the glory of light
@woye1 They can't give what they don't have. Imagine all our int'l conferences centres that should be used to launch or showcase research products, are now being used as wedding/event halls. The Universities should be the ones leading the research for electricity Nigeria.
BREAKING: Troops Rescue Widow of Late Major General Rabe Abubakar
Troops of the Nigerian Army’s 17 Brigade have rescued Mrs Abubakar, the widow of the late Major General Rabe Abubakar, who was abducted by bandits shortly before the retired senior military officer died in captivity.
@officialABAT We appreciate your efforts in making Nigeria great Sir. In the health sector, Nigerians are still buying virtually everything including cotton wool in most hospitals. As of today, the price of cooking Gas is N2k/KG, Cement is N12k. We're not feeling the impact of these reforms
Can some1 pls explain why the Primary health care centers in Lagos are hell bent on collecting cash without issuing receipts for all health services including tests in this digital age? I feel Lagos state govt should provide an official Bank details @ every PHCs to curtail fraud
SCANDAL IN NIGERIA
11,000 Indians hired to work in the Dangote refinery!
Dangote, India, and the burning mirror: what is happening to Nigeria is happening to all of Africa
There are truths that do more than wound pride; they puncture illusions, strip hypocrisy bare, and throw us—naked—before our own contradictions.
The Dangote case is one of them.
11,000 Indian technicians recruited because Nigeria couldn’t find 100 locally.
In a country of 235 million inhabitants, Africa’s largest economy, the self-proclaimed giant of the continent.
This is the clinical diagnosis of an illness that affects not just Abuja: it runs through the entire African body.
Many are shouting “scandal.”
I see a mirror.
And a mirror never lies.
1. Africa wasn’t defeated by tanks, but by polytechnics
People accuse Dangote of preferring Indians.
False.
Dangote prefers people who know how to run a refinery. Period.
It isn’t India that is humiliating us; it is our inability to produce skills that match our ambitions.
While Africa organizes summits, “national dialogues,” endless conferences, India organizes classrooms.
While we politicize technical education, India professionalizes it.
While we glorify long chains of theoretical diplomas, India trains thousands of hands-on technicians.
Indians didn’t take Lagos by force.
They are entering with their screwdrivers, their software, their skills.
2. Without skills, even our billionaires become dependent
Dangote is not the problem.
He’s actually the proof that wealth cannot compensate for weak human capital.
We may have oil, bauxite, gold, cobalt, lithium…
But until we have the men and women capable of transforming them, we remain tenants of our own development.
We provide:
the land,
the raw materials,
the tax exemptions,
sometimes even public money…
Others provide the brains.
And in the end, they walk away with the largest share of the added value.
Africa is a continent where you can build a port in 18 months—using foreign labor.
But where it takes 25 years to modernize a technical high school.
That should wake us up.
3. Technical education: our silent Waterloo
Our technical schools, where they still exist, operate with:
machines from the 1980s,
teachers who haven’t been retrained,
frozen curricula,
workshops turned into dusty museums,
students considered “less brilliant” than those in general education.
This is where everything begins.
This is where India beats us.
Not at Dangote.
Not in Lagos.
At school.
African parents dream of lawyers, doctors, and MPs…
Rarely of industrial mechanics, electromechanics, maintenance technicians, or process engineers.
Our societies continue to look down on technical jobs, even though the modern world depends entirely on them.
4. Nigeria’s problem is Africa’s problem: DRC, Kenya, Cameroon, Senegal… same fight
What is happening today in Nigeria is not exceptional.
It is the predicted future of all African countries if they do not wake up.
Across the continent:
Our power plants are repaired by foreigners.
Our mines are calibrated by foreigners.
Our dams are built by foreigners.
Our data centers are configured by foreigners.
Our roads are paved by foreigners.
And we applaud, as if development were about cutting ribbons.
Real development begins when we no longer need them for basic operations.
5. The mental revolution: turn every technical school into a talent factory
No magic.
No slogans.
No hollow “Vision 2030.”
Development requires:
qualified welders,
certified electronic technicians.
Culled
@Big_Mck I blame not the man on the right but the lack of humanity from all our leaders and elites who are so greedy and have ruined the future of this country by their selfishness. #Nigeriawillbegreatagain#
Why is the man on the left selling his oil sourced from Nigeria in a foreign currency in his country, forcing his own countrymen to pay through their nose to purchase the same oil produced in their own country?
The answer is the man on the right.
There is no objective reason why a country like Nigeria, with one of the world’s largest oil reserves, to trade its own oil in a foreign currency, except that the man on the right has guns and missiles stationed in the Golf of Guinea to ensure this is your forced reality.
This man on the right now wants to extend this presence (control) from the Golf of Guinea (AFFRICOM) into the heart of your country with boots on the ground, under the guise of fighting terrorism.
I know he does the same thing around the world to any country that lets him, but I'm making this post specifically for Nigerians. Whenever you visit the gas station and complain that the prices are skyrocketing, always remember that geopolitics is a very important subject. One way or another, you will learn it by force.
Good morning.
