G8 Worried Over Nigeria's Nuclear Programme

O King of Jerusalem yout vitriolic attacks on this country no be small ooo. i couldnt help but laff after reading your posts. i called my brother to come and have a good laff too. anyway, every detail you pointed out here isnt far from the truth. infact, i am surprised that the G8 is worried, when we are the ones that should indeed be worried. i however pray that your statement "this government is surely on a path to anahilate us with the hazards that will occur if we embark on this foolhardy project " doesmt come to pass ohhhh .

what we need do is too pray for this country, and for those of us that have goon hearts and intentions, they should venture into politics.

So by extension, it is the G8 that is responsible for the incessant power outtage in Nigeria.    Orishirishi.


Who is stopping Nigeria from solving its power problems? The G8 I suppose 


Just as we have Nigerians in Medicine, Communication, Finance, Biotechnology, Military etc. How did that  help these sectors?  If the environment is stifling, then there is very little you can do. Ask Dora Akunyili and Ngozi Okonji-Iweala.


Yeah, right!!!! I wonder where they would enjoy the dividend of their investment if some corrupt fool in Nigeria ends up blowing up the world via crass mismangement and carelessness. Me thinks thats one potential outcome if Nigeria starts messing around with radioisotopes. And I want to believe that this what is more on the mind of the G8 members rather than their so called investments.



Your point migth be a little valid if You can convince me that Nigeria would know what to do with Nuclear wastes. This is a country that has not fashioned a scheme to efficiently deal with its solid waste and sewage. Last I checked, used pure water bags are almost taking over the landscape.

Ever since I have learnt about G8, I have known that it is just a conspiratorial strategy to prevent some country from moving up and leaving up to their dreams.

D only thing I seem to know is that they put too much emphasis on a particular issue. Giving it a picture view with which they want the world to see it.

Nigeria should just look for another source to tap the power. I wouldn't want countries like Goddamn US and Britain painting my country the colour it doesn't portray.

I fear for Nigeria, Nigerians. One can look at the aviation industry and shake ones head in disapproval. Safety and Maintenance in this country is nonexistent. All the tattered stadiums, collapsed building, falling airplanes, blocked sewage, cow infested runways and other maintenance issue that the government and the people have failed to carry out have been catastrophic but it wont come close to the disaster this program can melt on us. Ikeja bomb blast, Families are still trying to recover from that,  Olorun ma je to lo je Nuclear. Russia, Siberia and it environs can tell you about the damage.
Forget G8 we self suppose they fear.

Chai. See yabbing. My poor country. They cannot even get a traffic light to work but they want to build nuclear weapons. No need to fear. It is well.

Nigeria should go ahead. If critiques are saying this and that especially about global warming, then I think it is justifiable. I mean who is to build and not to build when it is not intended for violence. They should look for safe spots and let the building go on. How can you do without trying to do. My main fear is corruption in terms of making the project see light but as for naija having it I support that move. Its high time we save our oil and we can help neighboring countries with electricity. We shouldn't wait until everyone does it then we jump in because of fear.

roflmao!!!

In my own view, criticism is at times good but the extent at which we are taking it to is just inappropriate.

Before the manufacturing of automobiles and planes were approved there were critics but it is limited and what we are just saying is that we have to take some risks to get what we wish for.

Our problems in this country is that we are always thinking of the negatives than the positive sides of what we embark upon.

We like to sight example  using US, UK and other leading countries in the world based on their achievement but what we always forget is that they also took risks to get to that stage with which we all cherish.

Even in the NASA buildings they take risk and people die all because of achievement but we sit here and we expect our lives to shape itself without us contributing to it.

Talk about corruption; even the high flying countries are not excluded from this because the holy lands are experiencing the same. It can't be erradicated we have to get that at the back of our mind.

If you most know, it is also another sign of being human and that we are on earth but not heaven.

Lets try to be sane for atleast an hour and think this issue through or else we would never move an inch even after 2020 that we all are dreaming about.

Brothers & Sisters, sow something to rip something.

We cannot achieve anything if we sit and watch.

If the citizens believe they do not want power through Nuclear plants then you should present another option with a proof to back it up that it will be more reliable, economical, risk free, and reasonable. We cannot sit and complain without given options to the government.

Did anybody remember ikeja blast?They can not handle arms and ammunitions cache talkless of nuclear facilities.The government should focus more on basic needs of the people rather than empty and killer projects that will end up wasting the people's money and lives.

A case of trying to run before walking.It is like jumping from basic needs to self-actualizations in the pyramid of life,it doesn't work,it goes stage by stage and at any given situation,nuclear facility is not something to look forward to,it is part of man's madness and defiance against nature and himself,self destruction.

All this unecessary worry, why? As long as the nuclear plant is built next to aso rock why would anyone break sweat? Peter Odili and other politicians all have mansions in Abuja, so it would be a win win situation. If it works then we are happy we have more power, any errors and . . . . it is a win win.

You just soothe my pains with that comments up there :

@NINETOFIVE. Next time try to put your point across without insulting others. Everybody is entitled to his/her opinion. What you have been reading on this comment so far are the bitter truth about the situation of things in Nigeria. We are not optimists, we are just being sincere to ourselves.

Let the Government put our roads in good shape and follow up with effective maintenance practices may be, we will have a change of heart about their ability to run this nuclear program.

 Nigeria has called on the industrialized countries of G8 to evolve a comprehensive global action plan for the water and sanitation challenges facing Africa.
 

President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua made the call, while contributing to the debate on the theme “Meeting the Millennium Development Goals on Water and Sanitation” of 11th Ordinary African Union which opened in Sharm el Sheikh Egypt.

Correspondent who is attending the summit reports that goodwill message from UN secretary General, the Arab League and the Palestinian Authority were delivered to the summit. 

Dude,  guess what You can apply that thinking to most every other problem in that country. The problem of having goods roads have been solved, guess what? we still do not have good roads. So I don't think that is the problem here. We seem to mess up even the simplest things. It just does not make sense at this point to embark on the craziest of crazies when we have yet to conquer the simplest of all.

now experts are talking!!!

With Great Power Comes With Greater Responsibility.

 
Not a bad idea, though, considering other sources of unharnessed power. Solar, Wind, Geothermal--
