TI1919:
GEJ on my mind till 2019

By that 2019 children born around that period will never know that Nigeria had national electricity generation and transmission capability because everybody will rely solely on personal generators 24/7.
Just like our children have forgotten about State Waterboards and that you need a driving test to get a drivers licence.

May God forbid us of GEJ by May 29, 2015.

TI1919:
If what you call Nigeria is just what happen in your area then you are out of point.
We have steady light here and water steady even before GEJ's administration.

Mention the exact area please so we can verify your claim.

I dont understand, was their light, water and credible driver's licenses b4 gej? Generators have been in use since eons in nigeria... so i dontbget your analogy...every one of our leaders since inception have failed including those shouting change. And in 21st century, we dont even still discuss these issues during elections.... shame

TI1919:
I live in Gudi, is a village in Akwanga local government of Nasarawa state.
Thanks for asking.

LRNZH:

Since you are in a rural area of Nasaraws State, I suggest you talk to people that stay in urban centers starting from Lafia to give you the real situation on ground.
If I get up to 3 hours of light in a day, then it is a good one. However, the electricity bill keeps increasing every month.

Choosing GEJ was a misfortune to this country.

Sammiejokes:

Broz stop reasoning like a child, we are in democracy, where people vote based on performance or promises. OBJ never promised us power in his campaigns but its on record your clueless president deceived us by assuring us what he. Will do and he does not do it he should be tagged a failure. So my ? Is on what basis. Do you want us to use our right to vote. Self acclaimed failure. I repeat stop reasoning like a lost soul, follow trends, I challenge you to read more about democracy and what is stands for. Olodo

Crazy joe youkwe.Where is thread bashing him sef

Meanwhile i don't hold the fort for others but here in my area there is steady eletricity.

GEJ till 2019

TheSonOfMark:


Blame your underperforming state governors.


Here in Akwa-Ibom state , the state government has been generating power since 2007 via the IPPs and I dare say we have near constant electric supply.

stop lying...biko...

Am pdp supporters too but i cant go to that extent lying on what is obvious...

Power generation or supply in nigeria is a faillure and that s where i blamed jonathan for slow work...

Dnt go that extreme hiding from the obvious fact..

LRNZH:


So if these problems started before GEJ we should then absolve the non performing president of all responsiblity going by your post.

Let me educate you. While the power situation has gone worse, refineries remain dead, the Chibok girls are still missing and the Naira is gone haywire, GEJ has taken Nigeria's debt from $21Billion under Yar'adua to $70Billion today. What did he use our money For?

For me, that is enough to query GEJ very hard.

Light supply power is a failure there so tell me where yu saw the constant light...?

Jonathan failed in the aspect of light but i prays he do better if he returns...

nobody's absolving the president, in my view he brought this upon himself by being slow in responding to issues and his media team is wack, his own failure has been recorded and has entered history ... but it hasn't stopped me from looking at everything without bias
now, I'm just trying to say this old lingo of politicians about providing light etc should be made the focus of discussions... what are the exact plans of the politicians down to the funding and technical aspects? If we dont start insisting and asking, we'll just be duped again for the next 4-8yrs.
so when you hear 'we will provide light', lets focus less on the umbrella opening, broom waving, and chicken flinging et al.... lets start challenging them about light, health, housing plans etc. This parties are not arsenal and man utd fan clubs you know?
in the same vein, the refineries have been dead for donkey years...
ask for the chibok girls, I feel sorry for them and their families but we should be realistic... we're in the middle of a war that thousands have died since the chibok girls debacle including soldiers and innocent civilians. Current issues have superceded their rescue, or do we want our soldiers to go hunting for them in that dark boko territory instead of reclaiming territories while more nigerians die. What of those trapped in those areas? Are they not worth rescuing too?
I dont have political affiliations, I prefer to stand aside from the herd and think for myself, we do not need mass hysteric decisions in this 21st century.
my two cents...

Collynzo9:
I don't get it, are they complaining about lack of electricity or the cost of it?
Surely, if all those industries were running on generators as APC would have us believe, they wouldn't be bothered about electricity cost, would they?

ozoigbondu:
If your state governor is too lazy to generate eletricity mine is not.He does not sit about waiting for jonathan to do everything

LRNZH:


What are you saying?
Yes companies run generators almost 12 to 18 hours per day which is very expensive. PHCN rations light more to industries and companies in the day time and residences at night. The manufacturers hope that GEJ's power in 1 year promise of 2010 will come to pass
Instead, they are being asked to pay more for little to no power. Their bottomline is gettig worse with this development.
I hope you learnt something today.

LRNZH:


Let me summarise for you. GEJ has underperformed. In a country of 180Million why should we stick with the same guy who has done nothing significant to our lives.

We need to set a precedence with this election so that politicians will know that performance matters. If GMB and APC wins and don't performance as well, we kick the out in 2019. Infact kicking GEJ out in 2015 will make an APC govt stand on its toes so that the same fate doesn't befall them in 2019.

That is the only way Nigeria's democracy can grow to the level we aspire to be.

Did anyone notice this part of the article

What is clear to all Nigerians is that the outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan government has finally run the power sector aground. The country has been generating less than 4,000 megawatts of electricity, but the current Minister of Power, Professor Chinedu Nebo, a serving high Anglican priest, has been compelled to tell lies serially to the effect that 4,500MW is generated.
The amount of electricity clamed is still about 1,000MW less than the quantum of power the country was producing when Prof Nnaji left office in August, 2012.
