From the grazing plains of Sokoto to the bank of River Oron, from the deepest points of the Lagos Lagoon to the depths of the Sambisa, from the tip of Bonny Island to the groundnut plains of Katsina,
If Hitler's "Mein Kampf"(my struggle) had been entitled "Gottes Plan" (God's plan) his political idealogies will still be surviving today and his war could have easily been tagged "Holy", N@z1s against the evil forces of this world. Any dissenting voice would have been charged...
@AnyafuluAda@euphoria365@jadeosiberu My exact thought when I saw the reply, if we are like this now imagine children in there formative years today. How will there thoughts be 10-20 years down the line? Sincerely the future isn't looking bright.
Life isn't just about "normal circumstances", it's a combination of normal, abnormal, and extreme circumstances. You need to always recognize the phase you're in and react accordingly.
Almost the same goes for viable agricultural products. Once a mineral deposit is detected in most cases, the average artesian miner can start trying their luck with a bucket or pan, pickaxe, and a shovel, and the day big luck meets this miner he can immediately move from lower...
HOW TO GROW AN ECONOMY FROM LOWER INCOME MAJORITY POPULATION TO A MIDDLE INCOME MAJORITY POPULATION - MY PERSPECTIVE

I think I now understand why this government always claims sabotage. Cos tell me how the news of 40% less pressure on dollars requirement for the country is trickling in and in about 36hrs naira has lost upto 2% of its value against the dollar.
I'm so emotional right now after many years of delay. Dangote refinery is finally producing gasoline. This is a massive win for us as a people, a win with positive results in the coming years. This changes a lot of things for us economy-wise. May Nigeria succeed.
2. Because of these obligations, the Nigerian government in support of a local company will be forced to give tax cuts to Dangote.
3. Dangote might take a chunk of NNPCL when it becomes eventually privatised due to unsustainable debt.
4. Then, a real scary monopoly will be born.
With "owe owe" NNPCL becoming the sole off taker for Dangote refinery's petroleum products, these are the things I think we can expect:
