Siemens innovation is located in the north only. Akk gas project is to power it. Steal from the south and develop the north. As usual insurgency will still destroy all the investments due to lack of education and religious tolerance. Peugeot will understand, railway industries getting the point now.

They suddenly remembered Siemens deal after Peter Obi went to Egypt to speak with the company officials. Yeye dey smell.

What are you saying?? This arrangement with Siemens started in 2019, spearheaded by Abba Kyari before he died in 2020. And I had a purview to that arrangement. I am not a fan of the APC but the facts need to be stated. Stop been a tool of propaganda. Your moniker says you are smart politician, but I am afraid you are displaying otherwise. Please reflect your moniker and show that you are indeed smart.

lol so because of election campaign and promises you want governance to halt . So your preferred candidates can campaign with the power failure.
Guess what ? The power supply as improved drastically for the past one month . I seriously hope it's the effect of their policies . Right now we have power for 18 to 20+ hour for quite sometimes now.
While it will be a good thing if power supply improves, as at the time I left the hell hole last week to clear my head there was less than 3hr electricity per day. Continuous diesel burn.
Any heavy spending these politicians do now is to accumulate money for 2023 elections while plunging the country into more debt.

This folks have talked about this Siemen deal since 2018. Yet no available data to back up the progress. It’s a botched deal. This administration is failed one and Tinubu’s administration will put finishing touches to it

I dont trust this government and all these white elephant projects less than nine months to handover. The debt profile of the country is outrageous. There is no magic they can conjure now. The team is as challenged as ever. We need fresh hands. Mr. VP advise your principal to desist from any capital projects of this magnitude for now. We need a fresh hand and fresh ideas.

You're a blatant liar. This is the first government that has been sincere about projects. Every of their projects are verifiable not those in PDP era. Show me one that's is false in those projects listed. Most of you are less educated. Been against government doesn't mean you shud not appreciate good moves. Mumu

Hmmm. We love deceiving ourselves in Nigeria or maybe it's our politicians that their tongues are just too sweet.

Osinbajo may be a good man, but what exactly did he achieve in 8 years, or his boss Buhari?

Now another group of Nigerians are intoxicated with the new guy in town Peter Obi who is promising Heaven and Earth. If he could do that, why in 8 years was he not able to provide in Anambra heaven and Earth?

- Does Anambra have pipe borne water in all homes * something that's common in homes of normal countries)
- Did he eradicate armed robbery?
Did he tar and maintain State Roads?
-Did Anambra public schools become world standard or are they still like the poultries that most public schools in Nigeria look like?
- Was able to make Anambra self sustaining and not relying on FG money?
- Did he build a world class hospital or motivate some one to do it, a hospital that he would be comfortable going to?

And to the Tinubu people who keep saying Tinubu Made Lagos, how?
Same Lagos that everyone pays for their own borehole, security, private schools, electricity?
If Tinubu was so good, why has not been able to transform the other States, his people became Governor like Osun? Or is it just because [b]Lagos is already rich? [/b]Then anyone could do what he is said to have done in Lagos!
Definitely these men Atiku, Obi and Tinubu are better by a million times than Buhari; but nothing exceptional about them based on their past and plans.

At the bolded statement, I laugh grin at folks that say Lagos is rich. A sub national government who’s capital budget for a year is barely above 1 billion dollars if not less considering the Naira devaluation. The budget to be spent on a population of more than 23 million people, very laughable. Johannesburg is budgeting close to 4 billion dollars for a population of just about 13 to 14 million folks and even that it’s still not sufficient according to the Provincial Government of Joburg and people are talking about the Lagos success story, what success story? The only thing keeping Lagos head above water is her population which draws businesses. Even the population In itself is increasingly depressed and lack that consumer spending power that it once had prior to 2015.
Lagos is not rich, it’s not even successful at the moment. It’s only looked promising on paper but that promise has been just that, a promise.
A population that is largely poor can’t make a city like Lagos rich.

3000 MW in 7.5 yearsundecided kiss


IBB and Abacha were doing 4000 MW in 1999

The three most important goals of any government are national security(Military), Food security (food production )and energy security (Electricity plants and refineries)

Buhari and APC have failed on all three important goals and must be stoned as they said if they fail we must stone them.

One of the few good things Tinubu did was to give us Osinbajo.

A man who is Loyal to the core, a man who knows the problem and always profer solutions.

We will miss u After 2023 Prof Osinbajo. You are indeed a great man.

While other politicians are doing Emilokan and disbursing lie lie statistics and trying to make their friends rich.

Can you just tell me just 1 Oshinbajo achievements as a Vice President to Mr failure? A fail president will always have a fail Vice President

Yes, debt laden infrastructural strides that contains a lot of waste. Also, many could have been carried out in far more cost effective ways.

For instance, $1.5b was borrowed to rehabilitate Port Harcourt refinery. The appropriate approach was to sell it as it is to a private company and let the new owner revamp it. Any debt the new owner borrows will be on their books and not the government.

Could these power projects be handled by a private company? If yes, then government carrying it out with borrowed funds isn't prudent. Borrowed money has to be repaid and presently, government revenue is insufficient to even service debt! More borrowing isn't prudent.

Talking of infrastructural development, the wicked APC regime actually tried in all honesty. Just that Satan really dealt with them such that Nigerians never appreciated the few good works they have done in some areas. It should be a lesson to the incoming government, whoever wins. Even if you cut out your heart to make sure a particular sector moves, if your economic team and security architecture is zero, Nigerians will never appreciate your value.

There are no truer words. Imagine if APC fielded Osibanjo and Zulum, a non-allied politician with detribilized views, it would have been a tough call for the Obi/Datti movement. Infact, Atiku should not have bothered campaigning.
Re: Siemens Power Initiative: FG Investing $2bn In Distribution, Transmission by VanuatuWycombe: 1:23pm On Aug 24, 2022
2043? Why can’t FG allow private sector to intervene in our needs for infrastructure? It shouldn’t take up to 10 years to get at least 20% of our infrastructure needs if work is on non-stop.

What the FG is doing is just another talk-shop. Nothing, I repeat, nothing will come out of it.
Re: Siemens Power Initiative: FG Investing $2bn In Distribution, Transmission by aariwa(m): 1:25pm On Aug 24, 2022
This is scary so if Peter Obi had not mentioned Siemens and how he intends to generate power, this government would not have woken up to needs of Nigerians after 7 years? So if PO had not mentioned that NNPC is no longer doing remittances and that Nigeria debt profile is in junk status , servicing debt profile FG would not echo same 3 weeks after? This is scary that this scary that it took a Presidential candidate to wake buhari government after 7 years because when I heard PO saying those things during arise interview about 2 months ago I thought it wasn’t true.

It's foolish to do things the same way and expect a different results.
Just decentralize power production, transmission and distribution,give them to
old regions SS,SE,SW,NC!NW,NE.
Healthy competition will set in leading to growth.

South should go into massive cattle rearing in ranches in the hands of native,in that way no Fulani herder can disguise in the name of business or raising cows to infiltrate our land.
Of course, the court just granted Lagos state right to generat/produce their own energy/power. True federalism is here, look inwards, your state government/governor is who you should blame if they can not provide these things for you, of course FG too carries part of the blame.

Unlike Peter Obi who went to Egypt to learn power generation without knowing the root-cause of our power issues.


It’s good to know we are making progress with transmission.
Obi supporters are quite naive, going to study Egypt power, when Siemens is already here working on our power grin
