Fraud is such a terrible thing, man. You’ll work hard for years, looking forward to retirement, only for someone to clear out your accounts overnight. I feel so bad for old people who have to suffer through things like that after spending their whole lives working.

@montydnotorious @osatohanmwen63 @Gabzdboss @chijiooke_ @LadyDonli @CasperDGoat Most likely foreign train. The next refinery we would open, I expect more Nigerian local talents to be more involved, that is how Knowledge is transferred but for now, yes we still need foreign assistance for most of our operations whether it is from the west, Chinese or Indians

@montydnotorious @osatohanmwen63 @Gabzdboss @chijiooke_ @LadyDonli @CasperDGoat No Nigeria engineering graduate comes out with the knowledge of how to operate a refinery. Dangote started his graduate trainee almost at the commission of his refinery so very few Nigeria graduates worked there at the beginning. The few Nigerian engineers working there were

@osatohanmwen63 @Gabzdboss @chijiooke_ @LadyDonli @CasperDGoat More patriotic, how do you know this Because the ones I have interacted with are planning on leaving. Maybe it is my experience as I have almost been duped by one but I could never trust a yahoo boy. And also the part of a good country lol Ask the average 18-30

@osatohanmwen63 @Gabzdboss @chijiooke_ @LadyDonli @CasperDGoat Focus to regular Nigerian citizens, they are already doing that the only reason it is not widespread is because they can’t defraud a person with 0 naira doesn’t mean they are not trying to. It is dangerous to start justifying things.

@montydnotorious @osatohanmwen63 @Gabzdboss @chijiooke_ @LadyDonli @CasperDGoat lol, if you think the local refineries that waste over 70% of the crude oil yield can be compared to modern refineries like Dangote or what others use, then you overrate us Why did you think Dangote had to employ foreigners to build his refinery when we have ‘local experts’

@osatohanmwen63 @Gabzdboss @ninetailfoxnos @chijiooke_ @LadyDonli @CasperDGoat Chill out 😂; this conversation should’ve been dead when someone said we don’t own our resources because we don’t know the “know how” in 2026 when they have been illegal local refineries in the south for years; you’re replying a med student in Nigeria; these things aren’t taught

@osatohanmwen63 @Gabzdboss @chijiooke_ @LadyDonli @CasperDGoat While a lot of our oil exploration is by foreign companies, Nigeria as a whole still collects the highest percentage of the slice. It could be higher but that’s when we develop the necessary technical know how to do things ourselves, Dangote has started hopefully

@osatohanmwen63 @Gabzdboss @nvm_denzel @chijiooke_ @LadyDonli @CasperDGoat You claim they are stealing from us, but instead of getting a leader to stop those deals, you would rather attack a 90 year old woman who has worked her entire life and needs a companion. If you think the 18 yrs boy doing dating cares about class consciousness you are delusional

This is actually a brilliant observation that deserves a proper answer. You are not wrong about what you are seeing. But what you are describing is exactly how languages disappear without anyone noticing. Adamawa alone has over 40 documented languages. Bura, Vere, Chamba, Gaanda, Lala, Bacchama, Bata, Marghi and more and no they are not variations as you pointed out. But most of them are slowly being swallowed by Hausa and Fulani because those are the languages of trade, mobility and survival. So yes, your Borno security guard speaks Shuwa Arabic and your Sokoto okada man speaks Hausa and they understand each other perfectly. That does not mean only one language exists. It means one language won the economic argument. This is what linguists call language assimilation. The dominant language does not erase the others overnight. It just makes them less useful for daily survival until the younger generation stops learning them entirely. Now here are the facts. Ethnologue, which is the world's most authoritative database on languages, currently documents 520 living indigenous languages in Nigeria alone. Not dialects. Languages. Nigeria has also already lost 12 indigenous languages or more to extinction. Gone forever. The Middle Belt is where this becomes undeniable. Plateau State alone has over 50 distinct languages. Keyword "Dinstinct". Benue has Tiv, Idoma, Igede and more. Taraba has communities that cannot understand their neighbours two villages away without a translator. Your Yoruba example actually proves the point perfectly. The fact that a Yoruba person can move across the Southwest and be understood is evidence of one dominant language absorbing regional variations over centuries. That process happened. It is still happening everywhere else in Nigeria right now. Now I am willing to bet you have never heard of Hyam, Ngas, Mwaghavul, Berom, Amo, Buji, Sura, Anaguta, or Irigwe from Plateau State. Or Kilba, Huba, Bura-Pabir, and Chibok from Borno. Or Mumuye, Jenjo, Yukuben, and Wurkum from Taraba. Or Tur, Nyandang, Kugama and Taram further into the riverine communities nobody talks about. Or what about Igala, Ebira, Bassange, Bassa-Nge, Kakanda and Oworo from Kogi alone. I have not even touched Rivers, Cross River, Bayelsa, Edo, Ondo, or Nasarawa yet. You want to know exactly where each of these is spoken? You will have to tour Nigeria for that. And I promise you, this country will humble you in ways no map ever could. The 500 languages are not cap. Most of them are just quietly dying (Bura has an estimated 11,000 speakers with most young Bura people now not able to speak the language) while we debate whether they exist. And that is the real conversation Nigeria should be having.
sc@sxdiqcarter_

I don’t believe we speak up to 500 languages in Nigeria. Different dialects ?, yes. But over 500 languages is total cap. All the South western states speak Yoruba, diffferent variations ,yh but I doubt there’s no where a Yoruba person will go in southwest and not be able to communicate asides some parts of ondo that speak ijaw or the egun speaking communities in ogun state and Lagos & I’m sure this probably applies to people from the south east too. My former security guy in abk is from borno (north east), he said they speak a language called “shuwa Arabic” but he communicates well with another bikeman from sokoto. (North west) so where did the over 500 languages come from.

language isn't just for talking; for oral cultures like ours, it’s the archive. names like "ojuelegba" or "ibadan" hold the exact history of how those spaces were founded. because our ancestors codified history in words rather than books, losing a language means erasing their legacy. look at river niger. losing its original name allowed mungo park to claim he "discovered" it. look at our ancient immunization practices; all wiped out & western-labeled because we lost the vocabulary. minimal languages mean maximum erasure. fyi: ojú-Ìbọ ẹlẹ́gba, meaning "the spot of the worship for ẹlẹ́gba. the area was a sacred grove dedicated to the deity of fate/the crossroads. ìbàdàn is from ẹ̀bá ọ̀dàn, meaning "the junction of the savanna & the forest." the name is a literally geographic map explaining the exact ecological zone where the empire was founded. for every language we lose, we lose the story/legacy of everything that once existed or emanated from there.
