So finding solution to the problem has now become medicine after death? if you don't have any tangible comment to contribute just read and pass, no be by force

It is medicine after death because they shouldn't have allowed the mess to occur in the first instance. Nigerian is an oil producing Country. Tell me how many oil producing Countries that have experienced this kind of mess. Mention me only when you make sense ok. Don't start with me this xmas jack!

if the government didn't respond you'll cry now they're responding you're still crying

Believe me, ìwo l'ayé n se. With the truck load of promises made by these people, should we even be experiencing this at all? Government of Failed Promises

It's a sad situation but not enough to condemn the government.

Fuel scarcity isn't new in Nigeria and we can only hope this is the last.

Today on Nairaland there was a poll on power supply situation with most respondents admitting to the improvement.

Yes, the situation should have been better. The government of the day is responsible but i still think they've acted with alacrity to control the situation.

No vex.

If people are paid to work and they fail to get their job done, sack them. I don't know why it has to take a minister and a V.president to get depots to work. It is either the people employed are incompetent or the government has not provided them with resources to work and are simply using their visitation as smokescreen to deceive gullible Nigerians. Are there no works they themselves ought be attending to? Nigeria and mediocrity.

Bross leave that power situation matter, how could you improve power when you never increased power supply?we have gas burning FOC, and no turbines to convert them to electricity cos of ethnic bigotry

GavelSlam:


You can't wish away the improved power supply no matter how you try.

The polls keep showing an improvement even if not perfect.

I am always wary of people like you who always try to paint everything with ethnic coloration.

You lot are the problem with this country.

erico2k2:

What is the Meaning of Ethnic Coloration ? and how does it relate to waht I said up there?

muykem:
How is it medicine after death? You want situation to continue like this. They should sit-up and do everything humanly possible to remedy the situation.

*BUHARI, Fuel and Refineries:*
Let's do some thinking and talking.
Don't worry, I'll do the thinking while you do the talking.

Monday 23rd October, 2017 was the 530th day that the Buhari administration increased the petrol pump price from N87 to N145 per litre. As a country, we consume roughly 40 million litres of petrol per day. The implication of this is that from 11th May, 2016 (when the pump price was increased) to 23rd October, 2017, the consumption amounts to 21.2 billion litres. [That's simply 40 million litres per day multiplied by 530 days].
When you subtract N87 from N145, you get N58. Now, multiply that N58 by 21.2 billion and you will get N1.2296 trillion. Let me write it in full - N1,229,600,000,000.00 That is the EXTRA amount we have paid above the N87 per litre price.
When Buhari was campaigning to become president, we were told he had built refineries before and would build more refineries again. Every attempt to correct this fable was rebuffed. Today, however, after paying the government an EXTRA N1.23 Trillion, we still don't have the refineries and the dead ones are yet to come back to life. Fuel is still being imported.
What's more? When crude oil was $120 per barrel, we were buying petrol at N97 per litre. Now crude oil is $55 and we are buying at N145 per litre. If crude were $120 per barrel today would Buhari retain petrol at N145 per litre or move it to N300 per litre? Well, that's speculative.What's not speculative is that we have paid this government an extra N1.23 trillion in 530 days and they still have 583 days until May 29, 2019.
Over the next 583 days, we would add another N1.35 trillion to the N1.23 trillion already collected.
I don't want to ask what the government has done with the N1.23 triillion it has squeezed from us. I believe you don't want to ask either. But I want you to write it down somewhere that between May 11, 2016 (when fuel became N145 per litre) and May 29, 2019 (when Lying mohammed would have made you give Buhari a second term); the cost implication of changing N87 to N145 would add up to N2.58 trillion. Actually, N2,582,160,000,000.00 It's NOT a small "change."
Keep the note somewhere for the next 583 days. Then after you might have voted in Buhari again for second term, after the swearing in, ask yourself whether N2,582,160,000,000.00 could have built a refinery or rejuvenated the four ailing ones.
Don't think, just talk.

This is your post:

"Bross leave that power situation matter, how could you improve power when you never increased power supply?we have gas burning FOC , and no turbines to convert them to electricity cos of ethnic bigotry"

Now explain what this means if you may.

jaymichael:
You dey mind those idiots with factory fitted hatred for anything that they don't approve of. Their hypocrisy and foolishness is follow come. They would rather bad things happen to the country as long as the hatred they have for PMB persists than for the country to make progress under his watch to to have this morbid orgasms of "did we not say he will fail?"

erico2k2:

it simply means Instead of building power stations at source of abadount gass supply to rapidly increase power to the advantage of the whole Nigeria, this is being Neglected cos they think by so doing it will develop these Regions
Note the Areas that has gas Include.Lagos,Ondo,Ogun,Delta,Bayels,Rivers,Cross River,Imo etc.

Please stick to your area of expertise.

Clearly you are not qualified to speak in the area of power generation.

erico2k2:

And you are??

GavelSlam:


Certainly more knowledgeable than you.

In addition I'm not a bigot, unlike you.

Mr tangible comment! Show me where your tangible comments are scattered on Nairaland. You can’t even afford a bicycle tire and you’re here with your ‘tangible’ comment. Loser!
