Nineteen thermal plants in Nigeria have been shut down after militants knocked out the Forcados export pipeline last February, and the Escravos- Lagos link early May, leaving the country to depend on only four gas-powered generators. http://newtelegraphonline.com/blackout-19-plants-shut-as-militant-attacks-shrink-gas-supply/ 1 Like |

This is what happens when the people doesn't understand the government and the government doesn't understand the people Dialogue with the NDA and let them see reasons why they should put an end to it and then know their demands while trying to reach for a compromise with that you are sure to checkmate them 66 Likes 8 Shares |

PMB, The good people of Nigeria acknowledged your great effort so far in moving the country forward. We can see some evil elements trying to frustrate the good work. Let them continue with their bombing, I am double sure you won't dance to their tune, Nnamdi Kanu will remain in maximum INBOX and I hope the good people of South-South will wake up soon before it's too late. Someone is trying to use your land as a battle field, I pity the innocent people of the region. In PMB voice : No terrorist group will hold us on ransom again. Let the Avengers terrorists continuing with the Oil pipe bombing. More dynamites to their launcher. God Bless Federal Republic Du Nigeria. 68 Likes 6 Shares |

Now we know the reason this country won't go anywhere. Tribalism is what's killing us. Just cos the person we want in power didn't win doesn't mean we should make sure the government fails. How will the economy pick up when all we can use to boost it is being destroyed? Can't we just support our country? We need to remove the hatred and move forward. That way we can all enjoy together. I just pray the government will look into this and do the needful. God bless Nigeria and Nigerians. 47 Likes 5 Shares |

There has always been sabotage in the Nigerian system for as long as I can remember, but this is on a whole different level. PS: no one should make excuses for the government and its officials, because it is the duty of the government to provide security. A failure is a failure 108 Likes 9 Shares |

People should stop wasting their time on this dialogue issue. Buhari WILL NOT DIALOGUE with anybody. Is their lands and it's their waters, they can blow them off for all we care. About the issue of power, I think decentralizing the power sector instead of fashola's diversification will be the best option, though it may take some time to achieve this. 9 Likes 1 Share |

This will not stop the construction of new power plants But we have to look away from gas Gas power plants should have a gas reservoir And a pipeline integrity team on standby Since the bird have refuse to fly without patching they should learn to shot without aiming The only people that will gain are the oil construction companies I swear now is a good time to be a pipeline welder 4 Likes |

You will not get anywhere than to regret of your action. I believe by the time the SS wake up from their slumber that you people from that region are trying to use their land as a battle field for a battle already lost, they will stone you all away. Keep dreaming, sebi you people have been flexing muscle shouting UK Govt will come to Nnamdi Kanu, days turned week, weeks to Month soon you people will be celebrating his anniversary in Nigeria INBOX. Buhari will not release Kanu, so after bombing bombing every oil installations, move to the investments there and turned the region to desert no one give a damn. Nigeria is bigger than anybody/group of terrorist. Wish you more bombing. chukwukadibia10: 12 Likes 1 Share |

madridguy: This is the type of unscientific thought process that is currently sinking Nigeria to its abysmal low. Nnamdi Kalu was never a threat to national development rather the destruction of farmlands by the "preferred and highly protected" Fulani herdsmen is the cause of dwindling agricultural output and unwillingness of Nigerians to go back to farm. Closure of Maritime University was a result of unreserved bigotry from Buhari. Buhari's problems stern from his recalcitrance to implement APC manifesto because of his chronic bigotry and shallowness. Within one year of this administration, we should've gotten a clear view of what APC made us believe they were. These include and not limited to: THE CONSTITUTION REFORM Manifesto: •Initiate action to amend our Constitution with a view to devolving powers, duties and responsibilities to states and local governments in order to entrench true Federalism and the Federal spirit; •Strengthen INEC to reduce/ eliminate electoral malpractices; •Attract the best and brightest into our politics and public service by aggressive recruitment of private sector people, academics and professionals within Nigeria and in the Diaspora through internships, fellowships, executive appointments and special nomination to contest elective offices; •Prevent abuse of executive, legislative and public offices through greater accountability, transparency and strict enforcement of anti-corruption laws whilst strengthening the EFCC and ICPC; •Amend the Constitution to remove immunity from prosecution for elected officers in criminal cases; •Restructure government for a leaner, more efficient and adequately compensated public service; •Require full disclosure in all media outlets of all government contracts over N100m prior to award and during implementation at regular intervals; •Reform and Strengthen the Justice System for efficient administration and dispensation of justice along with the creation of special courts for accelerated hearing of corruption, drug trafficking, terrorism and similar cases of national importance; •Ensure full implementation of the Freedom of Information Act so that government held data sets can be requested and used by the media and the public at large, and then published on regular basis; •Seek to amend the Constitution to require local governments to publish their meeting minutes, service performance data and items of spending over N10M. 59 Likes 4 Shares |

Hypocrite, don't tell ur sheriff to look for ways to appease angry parties in his ship and sail peacefully. Keep up with ur almighty new sheriff in town Try n see things from another angle. **** It is not a crime for us to discuss our way forward, not like we demand to detect, we are only asking u come up with ur own demands while we bring ours and we sort ourselves.

Pheals:and you think it'll make things better, FYI it was OBJ that technically started all this when he attacked Odi, it gave rise to all those deadly militants, it emboldened them and made them more formidable and deadlier. Did you watch Hillary Clinton's campaign speech on CNN yesterday, you heard what she said about Donald trumps approach about ISIS! She said that Donald trump would even encourage and bolden them. PMB is left with only one option, dialogue... If not Nigeria is history. Don't underestimate those NDA.. 15 Likes

I hope it is not too late before these miscreants disgracing us realize they are causing more harm in a long run than the goverment whose lives will still go on smoothly despite the hardship they cause.. It's easier to destroy than to build. I feel sad coming from a zone like this with more illitrates and lazy people than the ones who will concentrate more on the roles they played at their state's derivation instead of causing troubles with the Federal Government Who are these people encouraging this nonsense? Are you sure they are even from the SS? I doubt see how the likes of Cross river and Akwa-ibom is progressing? Why don't we hold our state's leaders accountable for what is going wrong? 2 Likes |
