I actually advertised the one on your neck as you can see with all the knocks you’re getting by the minute.

Show me in the copy of the agreement they signed where president Tinubu says he’s going to put a stop to the second mainstay of his country, after he said publicly that he will do what’s necessary for his own people? Even what you put down there can be interpreted in 100 different ways. Plus the special interest/lobbyist could have written that just to get paid. Use your head man! China sits on top of UN but still the highest emissions polluters, India is second and nobody can tell them to stop their ways of life.

Like I said earlier, stop reading fantasies, it will make you the dumbest in the room, we have the smartest president in charge and he told to the power-that-be’s face that we will do green energy our own way.

Thank you for advertising that empty room for vacancy that sits on your neck.

But I noticed you didn't answer my question. Why did your "president" sign and ratify the COP28 Climate Treaty which has a goal of drastically reducing the use of fossil fuels by the year 2030? Does your president know that in strategic terms, 2030 is just around the corner and it is not as far away as he seems to think it is?

Does your president think that Nigeria is a world power which can just walk away from Climate change commitments the way that Trump's United States walked away from the Paris Climate Protocols?

I know that given the limitations of your meagre mental resources, you can't even begin to answer any of these questions, but I asked them anyway because I think others can learn from your folly.

Nobody should be spending money looking for oil in the north; northern Nigeria has no oil in commercial quantities. Instead, Nigeria should search for oil and gas in the Niger Delta region and invest more in northern cash crops to reduce the prices of foodstuff in the market and export to other countries.

Antarctica should be used to settle Africa as a reparation for colonization and slavery.


U sef know that that one will never happen na
White people see African colonies as their right as they gathered together to share it among themselves in the Berlin Conference
They will never apologize for colonization as they still do it today in French west Africa sef
They see it as the doing us a favor by bringing us French language ,English language western ,education ,western medicine ,white wedding parliamentary system, Christianity, automobile&paved roads,rule of law, corporate social responsibility , civil service, pension , banking system ,industrialization and manufacturing, cement housing , republic system, drainage and sewer system , open market alliance,electricity, etc the list goes on and on


Long story short anything you have today as an African black man colonialism gave it to you…

The best man can do is one step forward and two steps back. The hunger to drill the Arctic is a case in point and you praise it.

You're only digging your grave even deeper. The only Exhibit A of ignorance and stupidity here is the one you have put on display.

Your "president" begged, but his begging didn't please his masters in the World Economic Forum and they ended up simply ignoring him. Maybe because he was carried away by the sights and sounds of Dubai or more probably because of his intellectual limitations, he did not understand the full implications of why he was there or the far reaching nature of the document he was signing.

Even his advisers were shocked about his decision.

If you had bothered to do any basic research, you would have found that the APC lickspittle who surround your "presIDIOT" have been wringing their hands in agony ever since Nigeria signed the COP28 agreement because they know what is waiting for Nigeria down the road.

Russia has discovered vast oil and gas reserves in the Antarctic, much of it in areas claimed by the UK.

The surveys are a prelude to bringing in drilling rigs to exploit the pristine region for fossil fuels, MPs have warned.

Reserves totalling 511 billion barrels of oil, about 10 times the North Sea’s entire 50-year output have been reported to Moscow by Russian research ships, according to evidence given to the Commons Environment Audit Committee (EAC) last week.

It follows a series of surveys by the Alexander Karpinsky vessel, operated by Rosgeo – the Russian agency charged with finding mineral reserves for commercial exploitation.

Antarctica is meant to be protected by the 1959 Antarctic Treaty that bans all mineral or oil developments. The UK’s interests are overseen by the Foreign Office – but it has been accused of ignoring the emerging crisis.

Junior minister David Rutley last week told the EAC that his department had decided to trust Russian assurances it was just conducting scientific research, adding: “Russia has recently reaffirmed its commitment to the key elements of the treaty.”

Experts on the region disagree, warning that placing any trust in Russia to stick to its obligations was naive – as shown by its invasion of Ukraine.

Klaus Dodds, professor of geopolitics at Royal Holloway College, an expert in Antarctica, who also gave evidence, said Russia’s activities were far closer to prospecting for oil and gas than to genuine science.

“The Antarctic Treaty faces renewed challenges not least from bad-faith actor Russia and increasingly assertive China.

“Rosgeo has been engaging in seismic surveys and other related surveying work … Russia’s activities need to be understood as a decision to undermine the norms associated with seismic survey research, and ultimately a precursor for forthcoming resource extraction.”

The British Antarctic Territory (BAT) forms the largest and most southerly of the UK’s 14 Overseas Territories – and the least hospitable with 99pc of it covered in ice.

That's a huge find of crude oil and gas... But the treaty to protect that environment must be respected by all since other huge oil reserves still exist.
