Gamji007: Here is the answer you need. You just choose to read part of the report that suit your thinking but OKONJO-IWEALA clearly mention OBJ invested in electricity. OKONJO-IWEALA: As you know, Nigeria became a democracy again when President Obasanjo came into power in 1999. Two decades prior to that, there was hardly any investment in electricity. If you've neglected a sector for that long, you've not invested, you've not even maintained your basic facilities, it's not going to happen that fast. It takes time. 2 Likes |

I saw that interview and in my opinion she did well. She may have dodged her way in the answers she gave to most of the questions. However, you cant deny the fact that she did better than what other GEJ spokepersons would have done including Abati and Okupe. You can argue on her honesty and answers but not on her performance during the interview. 3 Likes |

oneangle: How much did the federal Govt pay for the release of her mama? anyone with the figure? These people are not transparent at all.. They are all the same. I can't imagine what i will do to this woman if i find her on the street one on one? That was even included in Amanpour's opening remarks;the kidnapping issue.how a whole federal minister's mother could be kidnapped. The simple truth is that Amanpour did a good home work on Nigeria situation as evident from facts from the world bank to back her claims.All Iweala was talking about were invisible macroeconomic policies,GDP and growth while trying to avoid the reality on ground. I like her comments about Nigerians' contributions especially on Nigerian issues to the Amanpour show.keep it up guys. 1 Like |

Having read the comments of my fellow citizens of this country, its now obvious that some of us are born liars/haters and lacks common sense. Some of us here expected this woman to go live on CNN and start voicing out how useless her country is. Atleast on thing i can vouch for her is that of electricity, where i stay i can boast of 20hrs of electricity daily. And so it is in some other places. If you electricity havn't improved in you area, don't come here and talk jibberish. Don't generalize it. Some of us here because of frustration and there hatred for government, they can never see anything good, and they can never appreciate anything good the government does. Lets not criticize with biased minds.Nigeria is gradually improving. Nigeria is gradually progressing. Slowly, we are getting there. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. 13 Likes |

Product of a failed educational system.instead of bitching here,why not tell us the capacity of electricity generated in Nigeria as at date ? What's the point in having electricity in Lagos,Abuja and port harcourt when the whole North is in darkness ? Has Nigeria passed the 4000mw myth ? |

Am so surprised that most of u i*diots that believe so much on the US and UK, this countries feed on african suffering, during the period of diamond in africa its this 2 countries that promoted bloodshed, during conflict the sell weapons to us and help promote the bloodshed n den CNN, BBC and the rest come in to say rubbish, they neva give anything free n fare to anybody. This CNN, BBC, FOXnews, etc all feed on the poverty of african, they claim they are evangelist but they only show the decay n pictures of hungry children, I watched a documentary were all dis save the animal agencies such as NSPCA pay govt official to wipeout all human settlement to give room for elephants n tiger, so many people were killed or misplaced in some african countries, NSPCC, WHO n other charity organisation displaying hungry children in africa n yet they only do this cos of tax relief jt like our so called churches. Corruption is everywhere in the world 2day every single thing nigeria does or is going to do be rest assured that the US and UK have done worst than that n are still doing. So u fake Nigerian that complain about Nigeria from a distance just because CNN, BBC, FOXnews or skynews said it una all they MAD. Nigeria may not be improving @ a fast pace but it is surely changing I kn this cos I am on ground. 3 Likes |

[quote author=anonimi] It is easy to criticise. Very easy. Meanwhile the leading critics who are in the "progressive opposition" have been unable to provide pipeborne water all over Lagos despite 14 years in power continuously as AD/AC/ACN under Tinubu and Fashola administration. Basic facilities in Lagos are worse off than they were 30 years ago when UPN's Lateef Jakande was overthrown and jailed by Ayatollah Buhari. Wetin make you jump go Lagos now? 1 Like |

I pray that this woman will not bring 'doom' to Nigeria...i have disliked her right from the time of subsidy saga. I believe she is an implantation by the IMF and world bank who are the major controller of most developing countries-she is just here to do their bid and put Nigeria into 'check' incase we are going beyond boundaries. Imagine the way she dodged the Alams question! May God help us all. My opinion anyways! 3 Likes |

One thing that gladdens my heart in the last few weeks is the DECIMATION of the haters on this forum. Even when the battle is yet to begin, the camp of the haters is already in TURMOIL.

Even when the battle is yet to begin, the camp of the haters is already in TURMOIL.

For me, when GEJ gave his interview, I couldn't criticize because light had significantly improved in 'MY' area in Owerri but from what I could see, it wasn't the same everywhere so he had no right to go on int'l TV and disgrace himself by spewing such lies...Typical of Nigeria, the light situ in my area has gone back to the SHIT it used to be apparently bacause of maintenance. The thousand naira question is don't other countries with 24/7 electricity do maintenance on their power installations? 2 Likes |

my issue isn't even whether the light situation has improved or declined. What caught my attention most in the interview after reading through is how the Minister answered the question on corruption. Particular reference was made to the pardon granted Alams. It was only expected that she responded to that. She, as far as i am, only glossed over the issue raised by the question. She was asked on what her take was on the pardon granted amidst the alleged fight against corruption. But did she answer? Hell No! 4 Likes |

I think u guyz are seeing this all wrong. Firstly,what's this craze abt Amanpour and her 'knowing more abt Nigeria than NOI'? Pls, she was jst doing her job.Did u xpect her to cross her legs,sip coffee and act like she didn't knw Nigeria existed? And I don't care if she is the best journalist that ever lived,it's she who lives in d house dt knows where it leaks. Secondly,of course she dodged the Alamesiya (4give d spelln)question! What would u ave her do? Tell d world that she thought her boss was a foolish and confused man? And make Nigeria lose d tiny respect we still ave? Finally,sumtimes we Nigerians criticize what we don't understand. What do you mean by invisible macroeconomic policies? Well,we ave to start sumwhere! Do u want her to go round dashing money? BTW, these invisible policies have helped many a country. *sighs* we really shld stop swallown what evri1 tells us abt our country. Well,I think she did okay. 3 Likes |

Some **** people here are claiming she lied, please tell us what she said that is a lie I'm sure a lot of you haters(always looking for ways to riddle the Governemnt) were disappointed in the interview because you couldn't find fault in her speech, so you resort to calling her a liar and of-course you have the band-wagon to support you(because they are always pessimistic/negative).... anyway i've learnt its easier to be negative than positive.I'm still waiting for the haters to show me where she lied, i can only see people criticizing her about her face, as if your mother looks better, or as if you can create someone (well i guess its easier to blame her looks on GEJ, that way we'll have the bandwagon supporting/liking our comments) P.S. Electricity has improved drastically in my area, and since i stay in Nigeria then its safe to say: electricity has improved in Nigeria Shikena 2 Likes |
