Nigeria needs to sort out electricity in Nigeria quickly.

I'm a Nigerian, unfortunately I wholeheartedly agree with what my African American brother said...it is the reality in Nigeria. If Nigeria can figure out how to deal with corruption (which is a serious sin to God), it will change everything for best. Nigeria could become one of the great Nation in the world. God Bless Nigeria!

I'm Nigerian Canadian, and im sick of the corruption, and it has become cultral. Everyone is trying to get over on one another.

Well done guys. Great topic, brilliant discussion. As a Nigerian, I've quit blaming and being always negative. Trust me, with the right leadership, Nigeria 🇳🇬 will get it right. Let's watch out !!

Twelve years ago the late Ethiopian PM .Meles Zenawi said ,Nigerian did a good job on telecommunications but not on electricity .No country can develop without proper infrastructure.

The people who looked at me funny when I said "don't trust anything about Elon Musk" must be crying, by now.

As a Nigerian, I see our leaders fighting over the resources. But pray we get it right this time .🔥

As a Nigerian American in which I’ve lived more of my “life” in the USA 🇺🇸 rather than Nigeria 🇳🇬, I’d say if Nigerians begin to believe in & Implement this Motto: “All for One n especially ONE for ALL” it’ll be a Lighthouse in Africa!🧐😳🤔

But the Nigerian government told him to open the factory in Nigeria or leave.

I don't know this brother from America but he is laying out some hard truth. It's insane when you think about it, Nigeria is the richest and poorest country in Africa! That is frustrating given that Nigeria has some of the most educated people on the continent. So then this means that the ordinary Nigerian never benefits from any economic deals that I made. Also, I don't understand why some of my fellow Nigerian people obsess over billionaires when the same rich folks don't even reside in the continent. And this goes for all African countries, we should stop glorifying the rich simply for being rich. It is time that we worry about the ordinary citizens. SA is one of those countries with a lot of problems but what I have learned is that their citizens are constantly protesting and trying to hold the government accountable. Obviously, protesting alone is not enough and we have seen how the country has been declining, but the people will never give up. What is the point of being called Africa's Giant when the ordinary people are neglected and oppressed and silenced? Good conversation and I must say that the brother from the US was very honest in this discussion.

Awesome podcast and heartbreaking at the same time... Africa wakeup

It's true, corruption is the only problem in Africa. We have almost everything in abundance but it only stays in the hands of a few current government officials and ex-officials. What pisses me off is if u ask an average African what he'll do when he gets power he'll tell u he wants loot just like those in power yet wants corruption to end. Very depressing if u think about it..

The problem with Nigeria in terms of the corruption is that there are no working systems of accountability. The first step in solving the problem of corruption in Nigeria is to make sure that we set up proper systems to keep the people in power accountable for their actions.

Nigeria needs to be talking to Zimbabwe about the mining of lithium. Keep it within the continent

Africa must unite. No more exploitation!

"In August, Nigeria’s minister of mines and steel development, Olamilekan Adegbite, said the country had rejected Tesla Inc’s request to mine lithium, unless the company were to situate a battery-making factory in the West African nation. He said this is to retain value along the global processing chain of lithium". I hope this is not a double-speak which will translate to accepting a bribe later to do the opposite.

Oshay is really making a good point honestly I'm Nigeria and I totally agree with him it's so bad 💔 really..

He is right about the beef, generally other African brothers from East & Southern Africa don’t have issues with AA. Matter of fact many Africans get along with AA in US without any issues.

Congrats Oshay for these needed conversations. We need a lot of self examining.. It is tiring to always be pointing the blame to others when we can do more for ourselves. Mining is not inherently bad if well managed. It is when corruption allows mining companies to skirt environmental regulations which more times than not are in place. The issue with Africans is we have a lot of laws that are loosely followed. Australia benefits greatly from mining just as countries like Norway, Canada do from their oil resources whose revenues are well managed for the benefit of all their citizens.

This is why they want the diaspora confused and separated. If we had the money, we would bankroll, put each other on, chase colonizers like Musk out of town, or charge him a high price like the Saudis do with OPEC. I enjoyed this conversation and our continued rise. Does not take a million dollars to start. Find hungry people and partner with them.

Another great one, and shout out to Joan for convincing Oshay to bring this back

This is an amazing podcast. Oshay is very impressive with the knowledge of African countries. He's a gift to the Diaspora.

I am a Nigerian living in diaspora, and I am sick and tired of corruption in that country. Thank you for this great discussion. You really hit the nail on the head.

The boss move for Nigeria should be to make their own electric car and crush the competition with how cheap it will be since the battery component is in your backyard.

Yeah what Oshay said is accurate about Nigeria, we are literally sabotaging Nigeria. We don’t need anymore opportunities if we misuse what we already have.

The Continent of Africa needs its own Central Banking System!

You are speaking the hard truth that all Africans need to hear.

Hi, thank you so much for all your observations and frank talk. We believe that when we Africans put the Right people in place there will be a CHANGE and CHANGE is a constant thing 💯 thanks 🌹 hoping for the Better. 🤞

It sounds like Nigeria has to humble herself and turn to her true Heavenly Father, TMH, SoNini NaNini, or what he may be call in Nigeria, for forgiveness of sins and honor the TMH only and non other. Then, TMH will heal her, remove the corruption and renew Nigeria!!!

You are on point guys , with good leaders and zero corruption initiative in our various political offices NIGERIA will lead Africa to the promise land .

Great conversation about my Nigeria. Unfortunately, what was said is the basic truth and that is where we find ourselves while still hoping for the best.

It sounds like right now Nigeria is like an animal running around in a circle biting her own tail. She has to learn to turn to TMH Heavenly Father to be set free. I say this with deep love for her!!!💕♥️

Great show. So now I know Joanita is making Kenganda happen. Team Joanita!

With due respect to my brother sitting on the left Oshay Jackson who spoke about going to Lagos airport in August, former President Olusegun Obasanjo was never involved in a coup to remove any government in Nigeria during his career as a soldier. Rather, he was appointed by the Supreme Military Council as the most senior military officer to lead Nigeria in 1976 after a failed coup d'etat led by late Colonel Dimka where late General Murtala Mohammed as HOS was assassinated. I just want to set the records straight. Thank you!

Excellent show and teaching, thank you!!!💕♥️

Lithium is big, but the environmental consequences is outweigh the benefits in terms of environmental pollution. Lithium requires massive amount of water for processing. Our environment will be polluted, water will be polluted, resulting to worsened health condition. Its so difficult to get rid of old lithium batteries, dumping old lithium batteries will lead to massive health problem. Argentina has similar situation.

That's wonderful!!! Nigeria is really blessed!!! Blessed with Oil, and now Lithium. To me I'm very sorry to say it Nigeria has alot of corrupt people from all levels whether rich or poor. This is why every Nigerian should stand up and say NO MORE CORRUPTION. And prove it!!! That's when things will change in Nigeria.

Lithium is just the latest hype. Only some good command sense can save Any African country.

Enjoying the topic, Ugandan in the Emirates! Oshay welcome back..

Great platform to discuss our issues (Africa/blacks).Please keep it up, and may God almighty bless you all.its unfortunate to have so-called leaders that's so disconnected and don't care for their people.They don't have shame at all but keep clowning around abusing the people they are supposedly serving because leadership is services. God will save Africa and her people

The day you can drive from Accra to Lagos without taking 24 hour, is the day Africa will be great economically!

You are right my brother. they know if we get on our feet it is really over... that is why, they invest heavily in DESTABiLIZING, Africa. but that is inevitable.

This brother is talking the truth. We must face facts if we must go forward . The truth will set us free.

Got to give you credit Oshea, you’re speaking truth to power about the corruption in Africa.

Excellent observations Oshay. You’re saying the things no one wants to say aloud because people want to keep up appearances.

I pray Nigeria and future nations benefit INTERNALLY and able to contribute global while benefiting. Salute to the panel for the variety of knowledge social, celebrity and history.

Am from Nigeria and in Nigeria I live in the northern part Kaduna in particular im surprised how Mr oshey knows Nigerian so well like he live there till now, no reasonable Nigerian will fault his view. Great podcast

Joanita is very correct, mining oil in Nigeria has devastated the Ogoni's environment, practically all the Niger Delta environs where oil drillings take place by multinational oil corporations are badly polluted, and there is nothing much done about it. The indigenes have lost their sources of livelihood which, predominantly, are fishing and farming. There is a record of high rate of cancer plaguing the indigenous in that area. Many of the people that protested against the environmental pollution and lack of just compensation to the indigenes had been killed. One of them was Ken Saro Wiwa. Chances are that similar situations might be the case with lithium mining in Nigeria. Just as Joanita pointed out, I am likewise very concerned for the locals in Nigeria, should the lithium mining deal scales through.. Yes, multinational corporations have environmental procedures on paper which they, due to corruption and other sinister factors, never fully implement in Africa the same way they do in Europe, North America, Japan and other countries around the world.

Nigeria have so many educated engineers who can make it right in terms of getting the lithium manufacturing from A to Z so don't rule out Nigeria in this arena.

Great great discourse ,all of you made me proud to be African!!

Thanks guys for this podcast. It's needed. More

Ur guys really and truly did ur work and assignment very well on Nigerian....Quiet emotional and bitter truth. As a pure Nigerian u guys got the words right and as Nigerian. Is . Like # I GRANTEE U TO TALK BUT I CANNOT GRANTEE UR LIFE/SAFETY.

Africa needs to think critically to stop all forms of corruption by all means completely and then move forward with all governance of businesses to build proper strong economies with love for each other be united work hard as usual with honesty transparency is vital. ❤️

Oshay is right in everything he said about Nigeria. We wasted some golden opportunities in the past when there was an oil boom. I understand his opinion and admire his guts in saying it as it is even though he was careful not to offend. But in terms of going forward, I share DJ Maintains optimism. The economy is so bad now that they know they can't afford to mess it up. We can be surprisingly competent when we know something is at stake. If Obi or Atiku are elected, I think they'll make good moves.

Natural resources are a blessing for human resources equipped with intellectual and moral resources, and a curse to human resources without intellectual and moral resources!

I’m not gone lie they so cold 🥶 at what they talk about shoutout to DJ MAINTAIN FIRE MY BOY BOY 🔥🔥🔥🔥they need to be on for about an hour and an half rather than your 40 ball time. But I love it keep it going baby it’s making us come together and wake up and become smarter. Read and learn then do and create and communicate.

Awesome topic, you Guys are great, we hope that who ever emage as d New president will do something great. One again thanks for this Very great information

Wow this is so on point

Great conversation guys, We need to be very critical and constructive about conversation like this not just sensational. African we need to come together regardless of nationality impose on us as Africans,seeking forming credible economic alliance with ourselves as African you and thereby creating workable charter that can foster economic development across Africa continent.

Well you're right and as a black man keep pushing the narrative of uplifting Nigeria....with pressure comes diamonds..As a Nigerian I will tell you just wait for the explosion of wealth from the African continent when the time is right ...Keep doing your part,you're not alone even if some of us work under the radar....No wahala my people

God bless you guys from Nigeria 🇳🇬

the honest answer is on 25:36 you nailed it Oshay...you guys are just amazing great topic as always!!!!!👏

That's the way to put it out there (again)... some of us will perish but we must think of our offspring

Obi is going to be in charge. He is going to educate us to look out to our resources!

Oshe...., you got me right there! @30:02! I used to be a subscriber to one of his (Oshe) channels and I remember a particular one where he discussed the term; AKATA... and I was not having it, lol...cos, he got it wrong then... glad you are enjoying the continent and your perspective on African countries and their leaders are on point...especially those on Nigerians'...

Everything you Guys said about Nigeria is correct, the truth must be said , the Ruling class hold the country randsome. , am a Nigerian

POWERFUL CONVERSATION🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That’s a very very intelligent wise move the president of Nigeria made

Another thing I love Nigeria but I can't stand the attitude. Nigeria need to invest in Nigeria infrastructure like school hospitals and the marketplaces Do a big campaign on cleaning up ur homes ect Culture change

History shows that people who don't fear you will turn on you. Help yourself and others will wisely follow, those who won't fight will be enslaved or die trying...

Dangote has a cement factory which starts with mining limestone. Mining lithium is mining. The important thing is benefiting from the lithium. I think that is also possible

Great conversation !

She is so correct , the corruption runs so deep , their is no fixing the problem 😂😂

We are looking to work closely with all of Nigera, to stop exporting their raw material and to turn to manufacturing. We are now in International Trade for everything and we need to manufacture to sell finished products, only! We are moving to manufacture Super Semiconductors for all of our children's inventions. Finished products that can supply all of us and compete in the AI World Trade economies for 100% Profit. We are unifiying West Africa with the South Pacific, Caribbean, Mexico, and here in California in joint manufacturing. We are building African Manufacturing Plants. You are the One, I am the One, WE ARE THE ONE!

good make sure you get a good attorney to look over any contract you sign

1st.- I think Africans should minerals *responsibly* and there would be no environmental issues. (Ex; as long as no harmful chemicals are used during the mining process and soil rub-off into streams is prevented everything should be o.k.). Most important thing, after the mining operation is done, reforestation of grass, plants, & trees must be done. Even rearranging the topography (hills shorter, streams deeper - wider) can be beneficial to wildlife. 2nd.- Countries in African may have to rewrite a new Constitution, because somehow governmental corruption is running too rampant. But most of all, develope *Labor Unions* to ensure ppl are being worked and paid fairly.

There are so many greedy persons in Nigeria, even those in the diaspora that talk the talk of how things are to be run, the moment they return to Nigeria and find their way into position, they start doing the opposite of all they've talked about, they become corrupt overnight and the situation becomes worst than before.

I agree with Juanita. I also agree with Oshay that a woman should be the negotiator because they tend to be more concerned with their countrymen than greed. A great gift for African leaders you know is "Powernomics," by Dr. Claud Anderson...Maybe they will learn the secret of building a strong enough economy to eliminate the dependency on outsiders.

Another issue facing Nigerian politicians is Nigeria's appearance on the international stage. I'm sure Nigeria doesn't want to give the appearance of shifting to political stances that stifles international business and investment. I would like to hear Oshay's opinion on the proposed port development in Lagos by chinese engineering firms.

Hi guys I never listen to the full podcast That’s the best move Nigeria is taking secondly when Duplantis establish the most fast food safety first bravo Nigeria people need to wake up peace be with your peace be with Nigeria for that

Tough-talking Museveni had the same stand regarding oil. Last I checked we are working on a Crude oil pipeline through Tanzania.

Great show. Weldone guys

Hi yaa I think Nigeria should mine the land after the oil citation. The land needs the minerals for the growth of food and plants .Once all that take. away from the land, and its not good for the community around the area

Africa should put training in place for their people concerning mining , learn about soil material , mining equipment, in schools , colleges, free of charge or for small fee, Africa you must show courage and faith in God

O'shay actually hit that issue of electricity right on the head! The only reason why, is that certain people at the top are making a hell of money outta that situation and they would kill to continue to sadly.😏

Revolution is the only hope for Nigeria and Africa because the corruption in Nigeria will be very difficult to cure

The people of Nigeria need to rise and unite with muslim included to put a end to the dam corruption.

It's true corruption will be there, but it's also true that those resources will be mined at the end of the day,. I will say this, "it's not that things are difficult that we do not dare or try, its because we do not dare that things are difficult " let Nigeria take in the deal to mine and develop those resources.

These minerals should be used for Nigerian development. The development makes the value. The value then creates the money

Our Nigeria must get right. Our resource cannot have more that 40 to investors. Nigeria most have 60/40 shares. Policy must be out in place for that.

9:48 the vlogger Sabbatical had a taste of this stuff the day he was leaving the country. I chuckled a bit, but almost instantaneously I felt sad for my country 🇳🇬.

Long term effects of the mining? Good that it’s processed there. Who’s realty going to be in control and police the mining? I think here should be some type of Pan African progress.

Nigeria needs format and reboot. Start afresh with a transparent, educated, and smart leader. Nigeria has very educated people without jobs. You will see a pro in chemistry end up as a bus driver or hair babber. I have seen Nigerian build hydrogen/water power generators and no sponsor. The government does not see those kinds of people.

One problem EV battery makers are trying to move away from Lithium to Sodium for example. Nigeria should be trying to lure Chinese EV makers, but one problem electricity production for EV charging would need very, very serious upgrading and EV production would need very advanced manufacturing which Nigeria just isn't' equipped for. How could Tesla say yes - their stock would tank in value - Africans wouldn't buy cars that they can't charge - that nut needs to be cracked, particularly superchargers for distance travel

its a major opportunity but they need to make shore they are able to protect it defensicely cause like yall said every leader that try to make change has been assassinated because they didnt have their defenses set up right to protect against these type of situation.

This would be a perfect chance for Nigerians in America to go back home with their degrees. Set up, tech companies.

That man is saying the truth

I hope someone from your podcast will read this. Nigeria is not the richest country in the world. DRC is, but because of war you will never know this.They don't want you to know. Sun is richer than Nigeria. Common factor is war. Do the math

Kenganda! GREAT SHOW! Yeah!

Great show Keganda
