Dude, you did transpose a Nigerian source over the UK one.

So, unless you post the original link so we can read for ourselves, we deem you a fraud.

You can sulk as much as you want, but the fact remains, you tried to misrepresent things. Why did you have to marry the two sources and why did you hide the rest of the UK source under the Nigerian one?

I did not marry the two screenshots, I posted two different images, and because they are HP computer screenshots, they have no boundry line and appear like merged, you are a computer illiterate and an IT mumu.

Each photo screenshot mentions the news media that published it, Janes says Janes, Tribune says Tribune, or your fish brain has ever seen Nigerian adverts pop up on Janes pages? Can't your dull head figure out Nigerian local adverts on the second screenshot from Tribune newspapers? Soweto Retaard.

Call me a fraud 1,000 times and I don't care, I have developed thick skin, so I don't care.

I have those weblinks repeated over 20 times in the past one month, and I will NOT repeat them for you, keep on devaluing this thread, I am out, have fun !

You can speak like the persecuted messiah until the sun rises in the east, but it won't change anything. You are a fraud, like you have been told before. You tried to mislead the forum. We can read for ourselves man. If you'd posted the links before, why go through the trouble of making screen grabs. It's much easier to paste links? No, Auguby. We don't buy it. Let us read for ourselves or simply quit this story. What devalues the thread are fraudulent posts.

And enjoy sulking!

"The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is in the process of acquiring new fighter jets and helicopters, Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal Adesola Amosu told a press briefing on 8 April.

"Recently, the Federal Government approved the acquisition of new fighter aircraft and helicopters for the Nigerian Air Force as well as the upgrade of some of our existing platforms to enable the service to perform its roles," AM Amosu was quoted as saying.

The NAF chief did not identify the aircraft types or numbers that would be acquired. Nigeria's defence budget for this year includes funding for the procurement of six additional Mil Mi-35 attack helicopters and the reactivation of an Aero L-39ZA jet trainer, but not new fighters."

Olusegun Aganga, the minister of industry, trade and investment, has disclosed that the total value of exporting raw cocoa from Nigeria is approximately $10 billion a year.

He reiterated the commitment of the country to expand the commodity’s production for additional foreign earnings.

Aganga, who said this at the just concluded cocoa summit 2014 in Abuja, noted that with the planned repositioning efforts of the present administration, the country would extract immense value out of the cocoa industry.

According to him, the Federal Government would not relent in the implementation of expansion projects for cocoa processing and manufacturing in the country to claim a greater share of the annual $200 billion global market for finished goods made from cocoa.

“The total global value of exporting raw cocoa is approximately $10 billion a year; the total value from chocolates alone, all made from cocoa, is over $100 billion a year, while the total value of all finished goods made from cocoa is estimated to be as high as $200 billion a year, all drawing from the same $10 billion raw cocoa beans produced.

Like I've consistently told you, those numbers you always parade are wrong, and have always been wrong. The problem is, you lack common sense and the ability to think.

You lack enough common sense to understand that the POTENTIAL 10Billion in exports (not actual) does not go straight into your governments pockets

I did not transpose anything, they are two separate screenshots and each one mentioned it's source, the first is Janes Defense, the second clearly says Nigerian Tribune.

You must be an internet illiterate and a literary nincompoop grin grin

I am not repeating any weblink, I don't care anymore what you South African's think, you made me half quit this thread with your time wasting and incompetent debating capabilities as well as lack of logic, dullards you all are in Soweto after 100 years of Boer imprisonment

Hidden things are hidden by those who know what they are hiding, yes some few people know, but the outside world outside their caucus does not know, a secret cult exists but is secret to the public, the cult members know themselves and their secret activities, so your thinking that any sceret thing is non-exixtent because everybody does not know it, makes you a typical brain-dry South African half-wit.

The people who unload NAF jets from delivery aircraft know a little, the NAF top brass and presidency knows everything, the general public knows nothing except leaked tiny snippets.

Nigerian army is driving around in world class 2013 MRAPS CS-VP3 and STREIT SPARTAN MK III APCs, yet nobody knows details about them, we see AGLs and other grenade launchers, nobody knows how many and no single official news of their purchase, if the smart people who photographed them never did so, does that mean they don't exist?

It's no longer attractive for me to be on this debate because you South Africans have killed the fun and intellectualism, so I will be off again.

Fact is for a single commodity, cocoa, Nigeria gets an estimated 10 billion dollars yearly. If Nigeria has an OPEC quota of 2.4 million barrels of oil at $100 per barrel, how much is nigeria's government earning?

It means there isn't any Economics to state Total value of cocoa, cannot meet government earnings if supplies are adequately met.

This is the bottom line.

The Nigerian government made 10 billion dollars in cocoa exports, what the government currently has in it's purse after payments have been made is a totally different matter.

First of all, the nigerian government does not farm or sell cocoa. So, that the government earned $10 bn is rubbish from that perspective.

Two - if I sell units worth $10 bn, that's only my revenue. The top line. The bottom line will be less.

The Nigerian government provides seedlings, subsidised fertiliser, storage facilities, loan facilities and machinery to small and large scale farmers, including chocolate manufacturers in the country.

These farmer inturn pay duties, taxes to the nigerian government. Across the cocoa chain, the government has made 10 billion dollars of a 200 billion dollar industry.

It is a straight forward comment, easy to understand.

Like i've said, a sellers earnings can and would match up to the value of his produce, if he is able to meet and satisfy all demands.

Providing seedlings is a cost to the taxpayer and is only meant to facilitate the industry.

That doesn't mean that the government is the exporter. Individual farmers and entities are. It just makes no sense that if the collective industry exports $10 bn in value, then the government earns $10 bn.

The article is simply a picture of how big the industry is. It has nothing to do with government earnings. We can't even work out from the article how much each of the actual exporters make in profits. How much their income is and how much they pay in duties or income tax.

Nowhere does the article say your government earns $10 bn. you're stretching things. A lot.

Anyway, your article says "nigeria EXPORTS $10 bn ...cocoa". Your bolded sentence is a beeeeeg thumb suck and misrepresentation of what the article says.

3. Then it says Nigeria exports $10 bn in value of cocoa, which does not work with 1 and 2.

Man!! indeed, your cranium is damaged. Nigeria's revenues are worth $23 billion. I just only hope you make peace with it and move on because even your government says so during their budget speech. That means you are not up to date with the news of your own country.


from the expert point of view, it is also estimated at $23 billion and hundreds of sources, including those of your government. Bigger GDP does not equate to richer government.

@Evarn must start to ask himself why is the government of SA is doing more for its citizens despite being marred by chronic corruption.

-Building of massive infrastructure by the government and not the private sector
-Free healthcare
-Social services ( pensions, grants to children and the terminally ill
-Road accident fund
-Free housing
-Power provision
-Free water supply and sewage, etc

The above mentioned amenities are all that Nigerian government cannot afford to give to its citizens free of charge because of their limited financial muscle. Nigeria might have bigger economy, but cannot match SA revenues, not even close. Thank you!!!
