You don’t expect an Fulani man to love an igbo man. So China is more of a brother to Fulani man or Yoruba man than igbo man and vice versa. The problem of the country is unity and love yet I don't understand why the force to stay together.

Mystic216:
Why can’t Nigeria be independent for once?

Can’t you empower your citizens to do these things and have all the money by yourself?
There are people that are capable of doing these things with adequate empowerment and support from the government, but No, they love China more than their citizens

Sigh

If you want to attract investors, do your bit.

How can you tell a sane mind that after 60 years of independence Nigeria cannot boast of 24-hour electricity supply?

etcme:
Must Nigeria as a country depend on other countries to provide everything for them?

Why not fund the existing ones. Don't tell me there is no money.

Nigeria has money. Money is in Nigeria. Our politicians knows that.

The problem of the country is lack of factories and lack of technical know-how to turn raw materials into other finished products.

So to tackle it either the government or wealthy Nigerians must invest in building factories and invest in building institutions that teach and train the technical know-how to Nigerians.

The problem of the country is not unity.

The problem of the country is that majority of the old people that run the country are not innovative, don't know how to use computers, don't invest in new ideas, don't invest in research and development e.t.c

so Nigeria is stuck in the 1970s and 1980s that those old people grew up in.

Another problem is not wanting to see another ethnic nation progress.. Bu:hari stopped Lagos from having trains. When he came back in 2015 he closed the borders in the south and indirectly stopped Southerners from farming by not prosecuting h:erdsmen.

So to tackle this, ethnic nations in Nigeria must create their own development agencies funded by billionaires among them and maybe also their state governments. e.g. Lagos State govt built a port without federal government.

You are right but these are symptoms of lack of unity and love. Buhari didn't like the south hence he preferred herdsmen to every other person. Buhari closed many companies in the south due to hatred not because of any economic development. Billionaires are now afraid to invest in their country for fear of efcc and witch hunting. It is impossible to make any progress if we don't work together however, I don't see that happening soon. In the polling units, an average Yoruba man will still prefer his tribe man irrespective of anything, same with the north and the east. Any family or organization you successfully disunite, you have already conquered them. Nigeria needs a good leader who would unite the country by equalizing the playing ground, making everyone feel at home first and engaging all ethnic group to the best of there best.

It's not symptoms of lack of unity and love.

Nigeria is a br:itish location and company which means the ethnic nations within Nigeria can never be United so the ethnic nations within the location called Nigeria have to work and develop the infrastructure in their own ethnic nations.

You have to understand and accept that all the ethnic nations cannot grow at the same pace and time so there is nothing like "unite the country by equalizing the playing ground" because infrastructure development is determined by each ethnic nation's revenue and their will to want to build more and better infrastructure.

If ethnic nation A uses it's revenue to build more infrastructure and ethnic nation B chops it's own revenue due to corruption and doesn't build anything then ethnic nation B starts complaining of marginalisation, hatred and lack of equality.

will ethnic nations B complaints make sense to ethnic nation A

The complex corrupt network is what you have failed to address. Do you know that no region or ethnicity has the right to develop her federal roads unless the center (FG) does it. Do you also know that before this year no region has the right to generate power for his people. Do you also know that security must come from fg all the way from Abuja? Do you also know that revenue generated in my state or region goes to the center first through FIRS and the likes before coming back to me in form of allocation. That is wether my region works harder or not, I get the same allocation. Therefore, working hard is not proportional to the revenue I get. Now, if the center hates my region for no reason, what do you think will happen? Of course, poor road network, poor security, little or no allocation, poor electricity etc. Please, can you define development again for me if I cannot do all these by myself. The worst case now is the center now decides who governs the region by election malpractice. My dear, the country is terrible. Until a good leader levels the ground for independent development in equity, justice and unity... I doubt.

codemaniacs:


States can repair federal roads if they want to then they permission from the FG.

States could generate power just not more some megawatts.

States could have created and funded security if they wanted to afterall northern states created h:isbah.


Revenue from federal institutions go to the FG and FIRS collects taxes, states also collect taxes so if states want more revenue then states should create companies, farms, hotels, same way Lagos built toll Gates, the new season state owned seaport and made money and only paid a percentage as tax to FG while keeping the profits and doesn't wait for allocation.
State owned airport only pay percentage as taxes to FG and keeps the profits.

It's not about working hard, it's about ownership of companies, hotels, toll gates, airports, seaports, factories, refineries, farms, parking lots, houses to rent e.t.c
If your state does not invest in ownership then your state will get the same allocation from FG due to crude oil revenue.

For example, As an employee your salary will remain the same unless your boss promotes you and increases your salary.. Your salary cannot increase from N30k to N30m because you're working hard... it can only increase like that if you start your own company then you determine your salary.

The FG does not decide who your state governors, senators, LGA chairmen are.

A good leader cannot level the ground for independent development in equity, justice and unity because all states are not equal and can never be equal especially in revenue..

it's revenue and will to build infrastructure that determines development not good leaders.

Bros if you know the numbers of people the government is sponsoring to go abroad to study you'll know that it's part the government and part the people fault. Most people sent abroad by the government stay back abroad and don no plan to ever come back to benefit the nation. Chinese student most don't even spend a night abroad after graduating from foreign university. They rush back to their country to find something doing

Nigeria will start from somewhere.

ThinkSmarter:
Long over due.
Nigeria has a huge deposit of lithium in Sambisa and around Lake Chad basin.
One of the cause of insecurities in the region.
Like it's happening in DR Congo.

TUANKU:
People here complaining about China coming to take OUR(?) Lithium have no idea that China is the biggest player in Lithium both in terms of Lithium deposits and Battery development.
Calm down.
