Litmus: Since all have made the relevant criticism can i just add that there's something to be said for the fact the the equipment were kept so long and
intact, no degradation, no theft, just red tape - well done you ports authority guys.

poiZon:






so where obj from, no be southwest.
hw abt that bode george that was NPA md n na during him regime dis shit happened, na from SOUTHWEST TOO.
so whats is ur argument now?

adanny01:

You are a piece of work.

These projects were awarded between 2003-2007. It will take another 2years to procure the equipments and another year to manufacture and ship thats 3 years for them to start arriving. So, by 2006 was when you start expecting these equipments for 2003 projects and 2010 for 2007 projects. We all know these things never happen as planned so they actually started coming 2007 when OBJ's tenure expired.

It wasnt OBJ's responsibilty to clear but Yaradua and GEJ. Infact most came in in GEJ tenure, thats a fact.

You just saw 11yrs and believed the propaganda, no power reform equipment was imported 11years ago. Its a big lie. Those equipments are not bought but designed, procured, manufactured and shipped for every single project. 11years ago or 2003, contracts were just starting to get awarded, it will take atleast 3 years to recieve an equipment for those contracts. Thats 8years not 11 as you have been made to believe.e

rickkid: We could have been enjoying better power supply since 2003 but the equipment was stored deliberately to keep us in darkness buying generators and diesel! No wonder Barth Nnaji said what he said! Jesus Christ!

Tundeiab: didn't your OBJ write a stupid letter to GEJ which was meant to indict him? Did he mention that in his letter ? Any way I saw the letter as a last stroke at redemption from a failed leader.

Whether you like it or not God has a purpose for allowing GEJ to become our president at this point in time.

You are indirectly fighting God with your hatred-inspired comments. Remember what the Holy book says that there is not a leaf that falls from a tree without Him(God) knowing of it.

Tundeiab: Bros! Your lies are in the class of their own. May be you didn't quite understand the write up. They have been lying down there unattended to for the past 11 years. They didn't just approve the importation 11 years ago bro!

ceaser:

Yeah, lemme guess the purpose - balkanization of the country, impoverishment of it's citizens and the last but not the least, nurturing of corruption.

Tundeiab: ask your dad cos he can compare this government and the past. You are just a kid who didn't really know what happened in the past government

Tundeiab: Bros! Your lies are in the class of their own. May be you didn't quite understand the write up. They have been lying down there unattended to for the past 11 years. They didn't just approve the importation 11 years ago bro!

Apologies ahead but you have to dig deep, and I mean real deep, to find Nigerians with a conscience.

Controversial statement sure but ponder it for a minute.

Who was the last Nigerian that you dealt with that you feel had a conscience deep down.

Ochoiho:

There are 1001 of them that you've never meet. There are evil people all over the world. the difference between africa and other continent is the effectiveness of the legal system and the will power to punish those that contravene the law. the question that should be asked is 'an i trustworthy in my small daily dealing as a Nigerian'?

Blakjewelry:
seriously i see alot of good nigerians everyday though there are alot of crazy ones out there. May be its just me but normally i always attract the goods side of people.

Akainzo:


And OBJ that you want to blame for this has been the President for the past 11 years!

As I said, your reasoning takes a holiday funded by sentiments.

Akainzo:


The reasoning of a nincompoop! Based on your reasoning, your education has been wasted on the altar of sentiments.

I'd school you on History on any day of the week.

You wan bring Chinese style come naija . We love life o dem no go do politics again o

Dreal1247: A ban is supposed to be placed on the importation of generators in this country.

Tundeiab: See this yaba left escapee!

Tundeiab: your appointment with the psychiatrist is long over dew.

pitfol: I laff @ these our politicians...and Nigerians that re foolish enough to believe them... How will transmission materials help in d generation of power? Will u transmit what is not available or what hasn't been generated? God helep us all... Work more on increasing power generation before u start talking about transmission...

Akainzo:



This sums up your entire reasoning abilities: No originally, lacking depth, pedantic, childish and ultimately Stupid.

Tundeiab: Bro, it's originality and not originally!


Hahahahaha.

At least you used your brains for once. Happy to have been of help to you. (BTW, that typo was caused by the smartphone auto correct.)

This news is all propaganda.

Customs have been seizing PHCN and NIPP equipment since Obj's regime for no just cause or beauracratic bottle necks created by custom and other port authorities. In Dec 2011, Barth Nnaji lamented when customs initiated a plot to sell off the very expensive equipments to themselves. The port customs boss whom i remember seeing on tv denying the allegation was investigated but the outcome was never published. They had already began selling when the power minister raised alarm. Many equipment were missing by then. Most of those equipments had import waivers granted by the Obasanjo's regime especially those of NIPP but the customs held them i guess for bribes. By then, some non performing contracts had been terminated while those who were still on claimed their containers. The containers customs claimed to be abandoned were more than 500.

These other containers mentioned now were the ones whose contractors were either terminated or are still non performing. Its not a matter that they were abandon ed. In 2012, my site recieved its total of 19 containers which were held by customs.

In another case, we have one container at a police station which fell off the flatbed truck and killed a biker. The police were asking for N4million for the container's release which the contractor refused. You see, that container is still in the police station and will never be released till a minister asks why the project could not be completed, then the police will accuse the contractor of abandoning the container forgetting that a bribe of 4million was the real reason the project cannot be completed.

Almost N2 billion worth of equipment lie waste in a warehouse in Akwaibom because the communities claimed a fraudulent total compensation of over N6billion which was more than twice the cost of the project. Why wont government abandon the project?

No one will abandon important equipments like that unless someone like the customs in this case stops them from taking it. They should not insult my intelligence shifting blames or trying to show that they are working!

If i may ask, who established NIPP? OBJ.
Who awarded all the power contracts? OBJ
Who paid for design of the projects? OBJ
Who paid for procurement of these equipment? OBJ then later Yaradua
On who's watch did most of the equipment arrive? Yaradua then GEJ.
So who is responsible for the failure of power reforms?
GEJ.

NoContract:


See? I just said it. They know how to turn you people against each other. So that even when when points are being made [unavoidable harsh truths sometimes] both parties will look like enemies.

I'm smarter than you not smarter than you , I will not banter with you. Do yourself a favor, and read a bit. The world is bigger than your father's compound, NL or Nigeria herself.

I'm sure you'll still consider what I wrote earlier as insults. But trust me, I'm not insulting you. I'm insulting us -all of us- Nigerians. I have absolutely nothing to gain by insulting you alone.

Peace
