Mynd44:Yes o, the almighty military can protect gas pipelines but they failed miserably when it comes to oil pipelines, recent Arepo explosion comes to mind? Do you even know how many thousands of kilometers of gas pipelines we're talking about? Is your military omnipresent? 8 Likes 2 Shares |

There are uncountable threads on Nairaland praising Jonathan's administration for improved power across Nigeria before formation of APC. Most people promised to vote Jonathan if the improved power can be sustained hence APC decided to give it first line of attack. Just search Nairaland or use google. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Sincere9gerian:You cant keep this bullcrap up You mean for almost 30 months, the government paid billions to ethnic militias to monitor the pipelines and yet those ones failed which meant the contract was not successful? Cluelessness and incompetence For those months, not one person arrested? We are not saying they should stop everything, just catch one person there...they could not complacency maybe? But they could come to the media using their paid goons to thread crap and blame the opposition and we at supposed to believe them? Clowning? Gerarahia 6 Likes |

The military, also called the armed forces, are forces authorized to use deadly force, and weapons, to support the interests of the state and some or all of its citizens. The task of the military is usually defined as defense of the state and its citizens, and the prosecution of war against another state. The military may also have additional sanctioned and non-sanctioned functions within a society, including, the promotion of a political agenda, protecting corporate economic interests, internal population control, construction, emergency services, social ceremonies, and guarding important areas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military My point is military isn't one man and its a lot of people.The pipeline will be cover when they are placed at strategic location.Yes, naija military is "omnipresent" Sincere9gerian: 1 Like |

Mynd44: Nigeria Lost 3,800MW of Electricity to Vandalism in 60 Days, Says Nebo Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo has disclosed that Nigeria lost over 3,800 megawatts (MW) of its expected electricity generation to vandalism of majorly key gas pipelines between December 2014 and February 2015. Nebo disclosed in his presentation at a recent media briefing that the last break on the country petroleum pipeline occurred early last week, leading to a total loss of about 500MW of electricity from the national grid. “Between 2014 and now, there have been over 200 incidences on Trans Niger crude oil Pipeline (TNP) in the east affecting Okoloma gas supply. There are also regular interruptions on the west through the Trans Forcados crude oil Pipeline (TFP) affecting gas supply in the west, and Escravos-Lagos Pipeline (ELP) gas pipeline vandalism in the swamp of west Niger Delta,” said Nebo. He further noted that the incidences between the period had led to loss of over 3,800MW, considering that over 1.1 billion standard cubic feet (scft) of gas supply to power was cumulatively lost on daily basis. Nebo stated: “A loss of 200 million scf/day is equivalent to power reduction of the order of 700MW.” “On the 29 December, they went and vandalised pipelines and that cost us nearly 1,000MW.They vandalise the gas pipelines more and they don’t get anything from it. Two days ago, they struck again after we had arrived at 4000MW and we are down again,” Nebo said. The minister said the effect of power infrastructure vandalism is a resultant high tariff rate accompanied with less power supply instead of a reversal order. He explained that the government is working on deploying remote monitoring of the pipelines which would help to forestall further acts of sabotage. In his response to questions, especially on attempts to apprehend pipeline vandals, Nebo said: “Just this week, two vandals were arrested in Akwa Ibom and jailed for five years, also in Ondo state, there were two convictions. These are just the most recent arrests.” The ministry also signed a pact with civil society groups to raise awareness on the impact of pipeline vandalism on the nation’s economy. At the signing ceremony, the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Godknows Igali said that with about 20 civil society groups on sensitisation campaigns against vandalism, the drive will help to enlighten Nigerians more about the menace and promote the report of vandals’ activities by patriotic Nigerians across communities. Some of the groups who signed the anti-vandalism campaign pact include the former president of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN), Charles Oputa, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and Senior Special Adviser to the President on Youth Matters, Jude Imaigwe. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/nigeria-lost-3-800mw-of-electricity-to-vandalism-in-60-days-says-nebo/202003/ 5 Likes 1 Share |

Obiagelli: APC political strategists and top echelons are evil and did everything unimaginable to discredit GEJ and to get power. Most People promised to vote GEJ should he sustain the improved power supply which APC saw as biggest threat to dislodging the incumbent hence their attack on gas pipelines. 2 Likes |

Mynd44:Mere water pipelines are being vandalised daily talkmore of crude oil pipeline vandalism. At least we can understand the economic benefits of water pipes and crude oil pipe vandalism. But gas vandalization is very strange becos there's no economic benefit to gas pipeline vandalism. Do you know gas pipelines span thousands of km? It will be very difficult to police the whole span of areas that are host to gas pipelines. |

Mynd44:My dear, I did not claim, rather I showed a newspaper report, which is still what you used to justify the current generation capacity. Of course whenever there is incidence of vandalism, generation will drop. Anyway, what APC promised was not 4,700 or even 5,000 megawatts or fight over phantom achievement in it's first 3 months in office. They promised 20,000 megawatts in 4 years so I don't understand why so much is being dissipated on this issue. I expect to see clear road map towards fulfilling this promise at this time, but unfortunately, that appears not to be the case |
Re: Why Electricity Has Remained Stable – FG by Mynd44: 11:07pm On Aug 31, 2015 |
Sincere9gerian:Lmaooo. The current administration promised that this year, generation will hit 5,000mw. This is still August, September in an hour. They just need 300mw to hit this year's target. They promised to add 5,000 next year, why not allow then focus on fulfilling this year and then they work in next year. Obviously, the way to fulfilling this year's target is to ensure that the plants get the gas needed. 2 Likes |

IsraeliAIRFORCE: Her logic seems pretty applicable to me..you later on posted a report from the former minister, and what was there was transniger CRUDE OIL pipeline,transforcados CRUDE OIL PIPELINE,and excravos lagos pipeline affecting power supply. tell me how vandals are supposed to differentiate between the gas and crude oil pipelines as obiagelli rightly said... you havent even put up anything to show that the pipelines arent the same GEJ was paying millions to ex miliitants to safeguard..are you saying the government was paying for the safeguarding of crude oil pipelines, but didnt see that of the gas pipelines as important? and somewhere in that report we saw that some vandals were arrested..if they had anything to do with the opposition at the time, why was it never proven in court? instead you are here propagating insincerenigerian's cock and bull theory that he has been spewing since the 19th century... as far as this improvement in power is concerned, i stand with obiagelli..lets see as goes... but it still doesnt change the fact that GEJ government can blame nobody else for their incompetence in these matters but themselves..all this crap abt APC being the ones blowing up the pipelines and yet u never caught anyone tied to them...and u say you are the government in power.. abeg make una allow us hear word.. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Tonitelli:The question u should ask urself is why has gas pipeline vandalism stopped and crude oil pipeline vandalization continue Just recently crude oil pipelines feeding warri refinery were vandalised the whole plant was shut down. Why will any body vandalise gas lines in the first place if not for sabotage? 1 Like 1 Share |
