He is absolutly right. Its hight time we stop unecessary wastage in this country. Lets use african technology to create a brand for our selves. Made in Nigeria fan belt.

At times i wonder if some people are under durex to post comments on nairaland,the man never said give us the tyre to sell to the people,he wanted it as a raw materials to produce conveyor belts and fan belts for cars but i guess you were too engrossed in what you intend to say that you never read that part,these are the type of materials used in making the items he listed,igbo people have Bernard making fan belts and conveyor belts from used tyres since time immemorial,the tyres are not exactly fakes,they are used tyres branded as new,that is why it was ceased.

he is only speaking as a Layman with no Knowledge of the safety and acceptable industrial standards... the implication of having a substandard tyre on your wheels under the worst roads on planet earth... simply means that there is a possibility of your tyres blowing up in the middle of the road, and what happens when your on a speed of 90 - 120km/hr death...! Nigerians plz say no to substandard goods, you deserve the best.... not sub-standard goods and dont forget, that the mumu Governor is using the best tyres on earth, certified and standard tyres on his cars... so be wise, dont buy your death with your hard earned money and dont sell death to your fellow country men. except he will ensure some of the tyres does not find its way to the market....thanks

did you even read the post? He said they will convert the tires to manufacture conveyor and fan belts and other items that require the rubber of that strength. I did not see where he said they will put it in cars. Mtcheeeeew u can always hide shit inside a book from a blackman

Burn them all...Fan belts ko Fani kayode ni,,,u want to use a Substandard product to produce a good/standard product,,where in d world is dt possible ?

sssshhhhhh..... keep quiet before you expose your ignorance in public!

Ikpeazu actually thought wisely. Let those tyres be recycled and not wasted.

or we can turn them into something more useful for everyone...

I can see many have criticized you for your post. It is a sign of lack of knowledge by a greater percentage of people in this forum.

By the very process of tire production, If it is substandard, it will be unfit for fan belts and conveyor belts. These are used for moving machines and their integrity is vital for the safety of people using and operating it. Even the engines themselves can suffer loss of value, like overheating and engine damage due to fake/substandard belts. Reasons for the damage we experience often around our cars and fabricated machines.

That is on one side, what measure will ensure these tires all go into the recycling process? For a people that are already renown for deals in fake and substandard products, the risk is super high.

The process of recycling in many instances is for control of waste and care for the environment not necessarily commercial. What happens if the recycling process becomes more expensive than producing the intended belts and other product from scratch or we don't think so? A governor at his level should not be talking of converting substandard items to other substandard items for use. There is no measure to ensure the belts so produced will conform to standards. In a sane clime, you cannot produce and sell fan belts and conveyor belts that has not been screened by international standards. Even expiration dates are stamped on them after testing. Reason why they can expire on the shelves. So for an enlightened (so to speak) governor to advocate something like this is a national embarrassment

So those lambasting should do more search and be informed.

No pawn intended sha.

Good news

If only TA orji was half a leader like him.

In the South East where we come from its only Imo and Abia that is owning workers and unfortunately the two oil producing states in SE who were receiving more federal allocation than others.
Btw,there is no difference between Ikpeazu and Ochendo in terms of bad governance at the moment.
If you live in Abia state you will understand what i am talking about.

Lesson to others, it's not by collecting extra sheet in exam hall, read and understand before answering .

She get small point, hope some of the tyres don't escape recycling and end up in someone's car.

Nice one
I thought in this same direction too
Manufacturing a product from a substandard product
How does that end well??

I only liked one point the governor made, which is recycling
We should rcycle more in this part of the world
It helps

Did you even read the post or you just rushed to comment trash. Please try to read before commenting next time.


He said rather than the FG burning those tyres due to Environmental hazard, it should be sent to Aba & d boy at PH rd can use it to produce other products not TYRES & sell it at good prices.

Good post! Many are castigating you out of ignorance. No standard conveyor or fan belt can come out of substandard tyres except of course he intends using them for waist belts and footwear.

I wonder why no one is seeing the bolded part of your comment which gives credence to the beginning part of your post.

Chei

Gocac take heart

that's true, my main argument is simply that all regions weda u be SW or SE or SSWN has what they specialize in. Same reason Biafra will fail if they allow hate to hearts, WHR will d food come from, importing food and services no b beans o.

I love intellectual discussions that are not based on tribalism or bigotry as is prevalent on NL. I commend you for your objective opinion.
Back to the discourse, can you imagine what will happen to all the farmlands in Badagry if commercial quantities of oil is found or the impact on Lekki free trade zone when Dangote refinery is up and running? The whole area would change to provide ancillary services to the predominant trade (Apapa is clear case study).

as long as all is handled well there should be no problem(highly unlikely), I Dnt Knw much about lekki free trade zone, but I can tell u that badagry would become a barren wasteland, the govt has proven time and again that they cannot and do not want to be responsible for any side effects of oil exploration. The ND speaks for itself. But while businesses will be forced to close, others will arise, like u said, to feed the predominant trade.

At the end though we must look at what benefits the country the most. Should the farmlands and trade zones be sacrificed for oil? Probably not, but if it bring about an increase in d general wellbeing of the nation in the long run, then the indigenous ppl there should accept compensation and move on.
