What Nigerian businessmen do is just rent-seeking.
What's is rent-seeking?

Rent-seeking is seeking to increase one's share of existing wealth without creating new wealth

The truth is that resources minning in the North has been going on for many years. The state as well as the local govt pocket the money and not remiting to the federal govt saying nothing serious is going on. Go to Zamfara and see lead being mined. Jos and other parts. The North rules Nigeria like it or not. We need true federalism or regional govt. Let regions develop itself with its resources.

Nice brains u ve got..
Buh have Doz brains ask itself y can't IBB nd d numerous owners of Oil well frm the north do something to alleviate d poverty of the northern region..

Papa LouLou personified..

its just crazy with this country...our leaders dont think...IBB alleviate poverty in the north?..then how would you know he is still an oga?

dustmalik:
This nation is blessed with enormous mineral/natural resources, yet we suffer. Like someone once said, "Nigerians have absolutely no business being poor". Imagine leasing Nigeria to China for ten years. They would turn this nation into one of the richest and most powerful nation in the world. I wonder when we are ever going to get it right.

Some Nigerians are mentally lazy. We set wrong priorities. All most Nigerians want to do is assume a political office and siphone national resources into private pockets.

Hope it happens

exactly my thoughts...why cant our own people divest and explore other opportunities...what are they hoarding the monies for??...


We would just sit back and let dangote own the whole country...whats wrong with us??..

Cry no further, help has come from the east..

Imokay:


Since Ibo are still shouting for Biafra and opening embassy about, most investments will shift elsewhere while waiting if they will develop sense and calm down. The unfortunate thing while waiting is most of them would have migrated to no man lands all over Nigeria where they will help the locals to develop their land like they did to Lagos.

Ibos driving investments away with Biafra agitation

My thoughts exactly, nobody wants to invest their money in an unstable environment, how many dangote's investment is in the north?

dearpreye:


Vision. Vision. They criminally lack this vital ingredient in their lives. They're fulfilled to remain little Lords in their enclave. No vision.....

A colleague of mine allegedly saw Alaibe somewhere in Paris. He described how the iidiot was struggling to convey the huge mountain of goods he bought at the supermarket. That's the vision.

so pathetic..they think property rather than sustainability..and that man was once the chairman of NDDC and a governor aspirant ......so it means his intentions were to steal the bayelsa state treasury dry...may God help us from our own block headed leaders...these are guys that should stick around to fight for the niger delta but alas they are busy travelling round the world like missionaries..

We have to plunder and make use of other places resources for now use the money for our infrastructure

Can't you see the wise men from east are wise

... Biafra will take too long to come. Dont let the rqdio station fo.ol you. Independence is not gotten on radio or nairaland pages..... Your business men should be wise nd start Now or else the liscence will be given to someone else

If those phat bellied leaders In politics were reasoning the same direction Dangote is doing I don't think you and I will criticize their likes. God bless this man for his idea and patriotism. I also heard his refinery will kick off soon. Some men will be reasoning embezzlement while others be converting dreams to reality. I strongly believe in achieving ur dreams, no matter how long it will take don't ever divert from ur dreams #Godbless

If not for mischief, why should an Austalian firm named "kogi mines". I need some1 to tell me d meaning of "kogi" in Australian language.

This is no news cos the North have been mining their resources and chopping the money alone but they still can't take their eyes off Niger delta Oil.

President Buhari running the country...

Aliko Dangote running the economy..

Arewa is ready for PROGRESS.

IzonOwei we kept telling you guys about Dokubo's insincerity with the whole struggle but in your mind it was parasites that were speaking, well Good Morning.

That's strategic business 101.

WHY SHOULD YOU MINE COAL WHERE OIL IS THERE AND DO YOU STILL WANT TO ASK ME WHY DONT RICH IGBO MEN INTO OIL BUSINESS...BUT LET ME ASK, WHY DO YOU START ANSWERING QUESTIONS WITH A CURSE...ARE YOU YORUBA?

iconize:
You're a moronic person!
Why can't rich Igbo men start mining coal in Enugu?

Ehya, even coal isn't mined in the SouthEast. Absolutely nothing! After all their noise of "Awa oyel, Awa oyel"… We will show them. 100% derivation!

We have abundant natural resources but no human resources to manage it what a country

abu12:
"while Dangote Group would mine coal in Kogi and Benue states."

Who will mine Enugu coal, since Dagote is scared of stepping his foot on ibo land?

Where are the rich ibo men to get licence and mine enugu coal mine, this is business and stop blaming Dangote.

But buhari doesn't have even a metal container shop in the east n he just built a 600 million dollar cement plant in another African country. he also has properties across other geopolitical Ones. that is tribalism @ its peak, don't paint things.

You think it's a coincidence that this idiot Asari and the rest have finally kept quiet. They are too fat to fight. Filled wiv eba and okro. Shey na wiv that kain mouth they wan cajole people to fight for them. My papa don talk am right from the beginning that Asari dem lost focus a long time ago when he saw money. It's d same for a lot of this Niger delta militants. They are very lazy and loud. Asari is d worst of them all. They should throw shit on him when they see him. Boo him. Imagine him going to build a school in benin yet he said he is a freedom fighter. Shey na republic of benin people in won emancipate? Whether Nigeria break up o, whether na resource control or regionalism, so far we still have this idiots as leaders and so far average nigerians don't have re orientation of what is right and what is wrong. It's still business as usual.

Australia's tax laws may be more favourable than Nigeria's...

The firms are owned by Nigerians but registered in a Foreign country... Hence, the term "FOREIGN"...

So, because there's oil from another state - Enugu state won't and shouldn't tap into its mineral resources that are not in the exclusive list - in order to sustain itself?
This dumb logic is the major reason why many states are not viable, hence they inability to pay salaries.

i was so shocked when i confirmed really that asari dokubo had a school in benin republic..its such a shame...i am so disappointed in the so called niger delta leader,...

i always knew the niger delta militants werent freedom fighters but hungry fellows...i was just stressing the fact that non niger deltans were parasites...asaris greed doesnt change that fact as we can see with the present situation in nigeria where governors cant generate money internally to push their states forward..

Isn't that because of the distraction of oil for such a long time which was worsened by military rulers that were too lazy to think and wanted easy money? This is why we are celebrating this news so states can leverage on their resources to sustain themselves.

The worst thing is that the Niger Delta is still one of the most impoverished and under-developed regions of this country as a result of this distraction of oil as it's leaders were even more guilty of pursuing oil wealth at the expense of their people, leaving them to suffer and diverting monies for environmental protection and restoration for their selfish gain. They were parasites on their own people... What kind of parasite is worse than the one that destroys itself?

Ask yourself.

See the mentality of your fellow easterner who's state I presume can pay salaries. Is he also a parasite? This is because you're going to be stuck with them in Biafra eventually.
