@OpemipoBanso @YusufAdetayo1 @Dontee___ Start your business and come tell us how successful it is. You think to run a business here in Nigeria is akara

@YusufAdetayo1 @secamna @Dontee___ My problem is that you people think this is an attack on Dangote. I'm tired of explaining. Go and read the F.O.O.D series by FF. If you do, you can return for a conversation

How many companies in Nigeria can actually build a cement plant? How many individuals even have the required skillset to build a refinery? At this point, your criticism of Dangote feels more personal than logical. What matters is that Alhaji is building, not just talking!

@brooskay @DoubleEph Do you work in the sector yes or no

@secamna @DoubleEph You guys just throw words around and that’s funny, your summation is not totally accurate but….

This - from The Economist - is the first time this specific topic has been brought up in any major media in relation to Dangote. A complete lack of technological learning, upgrading or mastery after 20yrs of govt protection. Every other criticism I make of Dangote you can hang it on this one. It is utterly utterly shameful.

@Ahfo__ @Dontee___ You like grammar. Let me expose your lack of understanding about the cement sector. How many staff do you think Dangote cement employs in Nigeria. Let start from there

@Dontee___ Dangote is benefiting from the government policy, he should also be supporting their policy on local content ( company and labor)in such industry.

In the United States, companies do hire skilled professionals from India and China especially in tech, engineering, and construction roles. So what exactly is the issue with Dangote hiring Indians and Chinese professionals? Let’s criticize with clarity, edakun.

@OpemipoBanso @Dontee___ Do you want me to give 10 reasons how it benefits Nigerian and you promise to stop this line of thought

@Dontee___ How does that benefit Nigerians though? For instance, Dangote has not added new innovation to Cement manufacturing but keeps raising prices year on year to the extent that our Cement prices are more expensive than anywhere else in the world because importation is banned.

@winexviv Can the exam be domiciled at the LGA level

We are estimating to have 150,000 children participate in 2027 South East Maths Olympiad. We have started early preparation. Students have seriously started preparing early across so many schools which is what we love. We will build the greatest workforce from Africa in 10 yrs

@winexviv lol has it stands now sponsorship for 2028 should kick on in time. Time to make it a full STEM Olympiad.

Sterling Bank will be giving us N60 million for prizes only towards 2027 South East Maths Olympiad. This is now by far the biggest academic event in the country. We are projecting to have up to 100k students in participation for 2027 and we will also remain transparent in every step. Senior category winner takes N10 million Junior category winner takes N5 million Primary category winner takes N3 million Teachers in each category takes N3 million Schools for each winner takes N5 million Every student that qualifies for round of 45 gets N100k Second position gets N1 million Thirst position gets N500k The winners will represent us in 2027 International STEM Olympiad finals and also 2027 German Maths Olympiad Grand Finale. Participation is FREE for every child who lives or schools in the South East regardless of your nationality or tribe. We are on track to build the greatest workforce from Africa and we will make education highly rewarding and exciting like never seen before.

@FinPlanKaluAja1 In short God bless abacha for this model. How I wish brass LNG and olokola LNG had exist with this model it would have been a smack down

If NNPC were run like NLNG from its inception, the NNPC would rival Saudi Aramco in operation efficiency and ROIC Notice how NLNG has its own sea fleet Na God save us with 49% in NLNG

@woye1 @GeometricPower God bless you. @markokoyeII doesn’t need mou or conference for this to materialize.

Why is South East not leveraging on @GeometricPower to improve electricity in that region? Note: 2: GP is designed to provide 24 hour electricity to The city of Aba and surrounding communities. -(a): the plant is “ring-fenced” meaning it is separated from the NATIONAL GRID to provide uninterrupted power through its own dedicated Natural gas pipeline from Owaza. 3: My advice: -(a): @SEDCgov should lead this battle to extend this project to all South East states by investing in GP. -(b): @SEDCgov should bring on board all the Govs of South East to collaborate and invest in GP @PNMbah @CCSoludo @FrancisNwifuru @alexottiofr @Hope_Uzodimma1 -(c): @GeometricPower should discuss with @ngxgrp to allow people to invest in their biz. -(d): GAMCO via @femigbaja could also look at GP as another vehicle for pilot program by having SOUTH EAST REGIONAL GRID. -(e): Gas companies will be excited when cash projections are secured and stable. -(f): local banks, abroad people should invest too. 4: The economy value of South East will be tripled if this proposal sails through @markokoyeII @AbaPowerOnline @Buchieagle @komofela83 @Onsogbu @Onyeani_Kalu @PresidentIkemba @sama_on_point @ProfEmeka @ObasaSanmi @slowcoach @DanNwomeh @AdaAnambra2023 @Jamessucre2 @chudi_chudia @chudi @Philadelphia625 @chudi19752475 @OselokaHObaze @DrEmekakalu @OfficialPigo @martinokorowu

@Jack_ng01 @markokoyeII If mark is the solution then we are doom. Anyone who still needs an mou and conference to solve south east problem in this 2026 is not ready and prepared. We all know the problems what we need is a solution that does not require committee

I just watched Mark Okoye's interview on Gbam podcast and I just figured why I like the dude so much So much similarities So as a young investment banker in Lagos, he presentation in a meeting with Donald Duke earned him an introduction to HE Peter Obi who eventually appointed him SA on Investment Even as SA he earned his place in Obiano's Govt by proposing to him what he should do in Govt in the area of investment - he eventually wrote Obiano's manifesto for that campaign This reminded me of my journey with George Moughalu last year. On getting to his campaign, I was not satisfied with his policy proposals so I crafted a few points and shared with him Then setup a policy team and came up with the #RecoveryAgenda; boom he appointed me his SA on Policy Communication & New Media The main point I want to make here is that young people should learn how to come to the table with solutions. If you bring solutions to the table, nobody will be able to ignore you! Meanwhile Mark Okoye was earning 800k salary in 2012 + 18m yearly bonus? Crazy!!! So much to learn from the podcast!

@winexviv How can we build a smart STEM cbt center in all the 95 LGA that is capable of containing 100 students and above.

We will open up registration for 2027 South East Maths Olympiad on April 6, 2026. Our team will reach all the 95 LGA’s in the entire South Eastern States which are in Enugu, Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi and Abia State. It will be FREE for every student who live or school in the South East to participate regardless of your nationality or tribe.

@Jack_ng01 What about the stadium

Anywhere una see this man abeg make una thanks am for us oooo His name is Pastor Ebere Nwosu This man is turning my town Nanka upside down of late Almost all the rural roads in my community have either been marked, constructed or under construction courtesy of him May God bless him for us! He is the CEO of Greenlife Pharmaceuticals owners of Lonart

@EricLDaugh tic tock the time shall arrive when you would have said had i know.

🚨 TERRIFYING: This is why Islam is the problem NICK SHIRLEY: If the US got in a war with a Muslim country, who would you defend? MUSLIM: Our Muslim brothers! SHIRLEY: Not America? MUSLIM: We would NOT defend America! The barbarians are inside!

@winexviv alex that is not realistic the benchmark should STEMC. that way we know our ranking globaly. STEM olympiad should be the target.

South East Maths Olympiad will be the benchmark of measuring the quality of schools in the South East. A school who’s students are performing poorly in maths is a bad school. We will also use it for state education ranking too.

@ennyola0015 dont mind our businessmen with victimhood mentality. instead of @markokoyeII to use an SPV of @SEDCgov to build a cement plant with SINOMA on a FBOT model. he his more interested in MOU and conferences. key note. The only zone without a cement plant. The only zone with high price

Largest limestone deposits are in Ebonyi 🤷 but no cement factory. Largest coal reserves are in Enugu 🤷 yet the state went green. Africa’s largest gas deposits sit in Imo state 🤷 not a single drilling platform in the state. Nigeria’s longest sand beach is in Akwa Ibom 🤷 no tourism, no revenue. The country’s biggest bitumen deposits are in Ondo 🙆🤷 yet our roads use imported bitumen. West Africa’s largest market is in Aba 🤷 yet traders shut down every Monday. A nation rich in resources, poor in utilization.

@UchePOkoye Onitsha stock exchange already exists

We should create a parallel stock exchange in the East of Niger like Cape Town Stock Exchange (CTSE) which they established in 2021. Only that will make our business owners confident enough to put their business public.

@starboy_abefe You are now shifting the goal post.

If we wan even scatter everything KA Stroud is not even engineering math, na just title. The actual engineering math is the advanced one, bunday, HK Dass etc. Those kids are brilliant but don’t sell me the crap “they finished engineering math”. I had one in 2012 and covered 80%

@tUCORS @FinPlanKaluAja1 It is a simple question

@FinPlanKaluAja1 Typical kindergarten kinda question. Why can't you just keep shut on some topics when you don't have anything sensible to contribute. Hian!

Does Germany build a home worth billions of euros for VP, buy SUVs for NASS members, or maintain a private jet fleet? Simple questions, don't abuse me yet

@kepukepunews I have issues with this news on the basis of the fly ash abundance

Thank you, Kepukepu TV, for spotlighting Abia’s industrial direction — and thank you to everyone in the comments for the goodwill, prayers, and encouragement. I truly appreciate it. For clarity, I’m Hemenandu “Heme” Bob-Nwachukwu — Founder & CEO, HemEco Renewable Solutions (HemEco Geopolymer Cement Industrial Platform), Amiyi-Obilohia, Isuikwuato, AbiaState. X (Twitter): @hemebob A few quick points, since many people are asking questions: 1) This is not “magic” or a random experiment. Geopolymer cement/concrete is a well-studied, globally recognised materials pathway. What is new for our region is commercial-scale local production engineered for our conditions, with proper testing, validation, and quality control. 2) Safety + performance are valid questions — and we take them seriously. Our material performance has been technically validated with Ogbonnaya Onu Polytechnic, Aba, and our strength range is in the 40–55 MPa band (mix design and curing dependent). Beyond strength, we focus heavily on durability, consistency, and repeatability — because in construction, it’s not just “can it be strong once?” It’s “can it be produced reliably, at scale, every day?” 3) On “big players coming for you” — I hear the concern, but please don’t panic. Before speaking publicly, we did the responsible groundwork: legal/IP protection, institutional validation, and structured engagement with the right stakeholders. We are building as a compliant, documented industrial project — not as a social media stunt. Competition is normal in industry; the best protection is strong governance, proper documentation, quality systems, and credible partners. 4) People asking for distributorship / supply: Thank you. We are organising our supply and rollout carefully (because cement is not a product you “rush” into the market). If you want to be considered for distribution/offtake/partnership, please DM me here on X or reach me via my profile — include your company name, location, and the volume band you can take monthly. Finally: I’m grateful to H.E. Gov. Alex Otti and the Abia State Government, as well as PACE and all partners supporting climate-finance readiness and sustainable industrialisation in Abia. Abia can lead, and we intend to do our part — with seriousness, humility, and execution. Thank you again for the support. Please keep the prayers coming — and keep the questions coming too. Remain blessed ndị Abia.
