  Chinese firms are mining lithium in Nigeria and selling finished electric vehicles into the country as the market hots up. Chinese companies are taking up positions at both ends of Nigeria’s clean energy supply chain in a bid to dominate the electric vehicle future of Africa’s most populous country. Two factories for the processing of lithium, a vital element in the batteries for electric vehicles, are planned in Nigeria this year, both backed by Chinese investors. One is a $600m facility under construction on the boundary of Kaduna and Niger states in the country’s north by Jiuling Lithium Mining Company, which is due to start production this quarter. Another, a $200m facility by Canmax Technologies located in Nasarawa state, just outside the capital, Abuja, will start in the third quarter. The Chinese firms have the majority stake, funding more than 80% of the ventures, with the minority stakes held by local investors. Founded in 2011, Jiuling has grown into a leading global su...

  By Emenike Maduka It may well be the case that Mr. Fejiro Oliver, not being from Anambra State truly does not know that Mr. Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State, created for himself the credibility crisis he suffers today. In a story published by an online medium,’ Secret Reporters’, Oliver, accuses Governor Willie Obiano of trying to destroy Peter Obi! And the evidence? A video by Odenigbo Productions, demonstrating the inconsistency in Obi’s periodic vows not to ever leave APGA for another political party is being flaunted as breaking news of the Governor’s involvement! Members of APGA who feel let down by Obi may well have an interest in taking Obi to task for his trickery.  I do not think those who produced the video are saying Peter Obi has no right to join another political party. It is the crafty politician’s fundamental right. It appears to me that they are saying; let us put the records straight. This man declared many times that APGA was not just a political...

What is the Meanings Of the word "Olodumare" ?  Our forefathers gave the term "Olodumare" many different meanings. First and foremost, the term "OLODUMARE" is derived from  the phrase"OLODU-OMO-ARE" (THAT IS, AN ENTITY THAT IS SO ENORMOUS YET WE CAN NOT ASCERTAIN ITS LOCATION ). So the word Olodumare comes from the word OLODU-OMO-ARE (that is, the entity that is so big and enormous that we cannot fathom or ascertain where it is). If Yoruba send a child on an errand and they don't know where he is or can't ascertain where he is, they will say "Mi o mo ibi to rin irin ARE lo" (that is, I don't know about his whereabout. The second view is that OLODU TO MARE (that is, the only big entity that knows what is right ).But to be sincere, the first view is the most correct. Olodumare is also known as  OLORUN (THE OWNER OF HEAVEN) OLUWA (LORD ),OLOFIN ORUN (KING OF HEAVEN ),ORISUN (SOURCE OF ALL THINGS )ADEDA ASEDA (THE CREATOR )ELEMI...
