If Jonathan wins, which I believe he will, I just hope that something good comes out of his presidency. He has promised-and he is taking affirmative steps--to deregulate and privatize the PHCN (Nepa). That would be a sustainable path towards solving Nigeria'a power crisis once and for all.

If he can pull it off, that would be  a legacy. My qualms with Buhari is that he wants to "reform" the PHCN. How can you keep reforming an entity that is hemorrhaging money and will never be successful. Reforming the PHCN also endangers our power sector because if another inept government takes over in the future, their ineptitude could revert the PHCN to the way it ways, meaning we would be back to square one without adequate power.

Privatization and deregulation present the best prospects to end our power crisis once and for alll.

Privatizing PHCN is not the solution, Tinubu gave us the solution 8 years ago but PDP or should I say Obasanjo killed it. The solution is to allow other power companies exist side by side with PHCN, Enron was coming to do that but Obasanjo frustrated it.NITEL existed side by side with MTN, Econet and Glo but couldn't survive the competition. That is the type of competition the power industry needs. There is a lot of money to be made in the power sector of Nigeria, so I believe the private companies will make the investment if the environment is right

Lets face it and stop beating around the bush, the major reason Buhari is unpopular in the south is not because of his qualities or lack of it but because He is a northerner. simply put it majority of southerners don't want a northerner at the moment even if Buhari were to be contesting against Bode George, most southerners would still prefer Bode George especially christian southerners

When were you born? You must be one of the underaged voters. Buhari? Qualities?

We are saying practically the same thing. Even if PHCN is not privatized, then the power sector should be deregulated. But it is better to sell off PHCN's assets so that government can focus on what it does best--to provide roads, water, security, tax, etc. PHCN is hemorrhaging money. You and I know that if other companies are allowed to enter the power sector, then PHCN would not have a single customer. People would presumably switch to those companies, which would be the death knell for PHCN.

You may be over 18 in age, but your brain is underaged. Must you result to insults to pass a simple point Rather than state the qualities He lacks and backup with evidence and also state how GEJ fares  better with his own qualities you resulted to insults I guess it is because you are empty.

And what is the main reason Goodluck is unpopular in the North? Give me a break. You are acting as though this tribalism pariah pervades only in the south, and that Northerners don't vote for a candidate strictly based on tribalism. Most, if not all, Northerners would not vote for a southern candidate even if that candidate would end all the problems in Nigeria. These tribalism pariah is ubiquitous, stretching from North to South and East to West.

Princek12:

Buhari may not be corrupt, but he is an old head. I don't want to relive the Buhari days. We need to move forward. Whether he possesses the intellectual heft to lead Nigeria is yet to be answered.

The Buhari days are not that bad and it was with the best intentions. Nigeria is full of mooorons and a heavy hand is normally needed. The main reason you see me on NL bashing people hard, as that is the only approach that can work with Nigerians and produce quick results.

Furthermore, apart from the gentlemanliness and GRACE Buhari has demonstrated in the last 2 elections Poverty Development Party have rigged, you have to realise Buhari will be operating under democratic powers this time.

Princek12:

Ribadu was, and still probably is, a protege to then president Obasanjo, who appointed him head of EFCC. Ribadu engaged in selective justice, whereby he cherry-picked political opponents to prosecute. When Ribadu was asked about the whereabout of the $16b  his former godfather (Obasanjo) allegedly earmarked for the power project, Ribadu said something to the effect that he did not want to dwell on the past and pass blame, and that he was ready to move on.

Ribadu did not perform any selective justice.

And it is really tosh to say OBJ stole $16bn because:

1) I read somewhere that an analysis done revealed $3bn was the amount not accounted for. So the whole $16bn was typicla Nigerian hearsay that turned into "fact".

2) If OBJ stole $16bn, he would not have the same regards he maintains in the West.

3) OBJ, unlike the typical criminals like IBB, has not for a second hid from the media. He has granted interviews several times to defend himself robustly.

In my view, what ever the amount of money looted for the power project was not looted by OBJ. He most likely was incompetent, careless in the management, but I don't believe he looted it. So I don't think there is anything like "OBJ's $16bn".

Ribadu went after CRIMINALS. That is what matters to me, not their moan that they are being prosecuted based on selective justice.

It is like armed robbers saying why is the police only focussing on their patch.

please dont say this again. it is falsehood. enron was not a solution. enron was a conduit for Tinubu to steal Lagos dry. it was a big scam and everyone in Lagos knows that. Tinubu was a crook. please stop eulogising him.
