post=90984568: Ive told you several times, you are fabricator of deception. You will loose credibility if you continue to embellish genuine accomplishments with fantastic wishes and end up humiliating the subjects you are supposed to celebrate. On his own, in 1962, that was a good achievement. That should be celebrated. Attaching lies to his position not only discredit you but it also takes away and diminishes his credentials. No where in the newspaper report is it said that the man planned or originated national grid. Heading a planning dept doea not equate to designing a national grid that was already in place and working efficiently. Read the attached. It shows that the national grid was complete and in operation before Mr Onyemelukwe. If NNPC hires someone today and give them position of Design and Planning for Downstream, should a post be made 60yrs from now and call that person the designer of Nigerian refineries? Im begiining to doubt you are Ibo....given the way you embarass their sons and bring them here to be openly ridiculed with every post. You speak Ibo but Im not sure Ibo blood runs in you. Same way Hausas and Fulani on facebook and Arewa blog are not able to detect Im Yoruba in our interaction online. 3 Likes

chuxyfranklin:During obasanjo's time as president, Nigeria's GDP grew at an average of 6%, one of the fastest in Africa. Compare with Buhari's time as president when the GDP is hovering at an average of 1.5%. Obasanjo is the author of at least two books, My Command, and My Watch. I am not sure Buhari ever wrote a newspaper article. 1 Like |

Fucsheetup:Books hold a lot of secrets that can influence intelligence. A reading society is a leading society. There was a documentary on Germany I would send you if I could find the link. In the documentary, there was a discussion between a dutch artist and a German about leadership in Germany. The dutch said Germany would always be a leading country because no matter how dumb the average German politician is, at least he would have read no fewer than two books. I hope you get the message. 1 Like |

MetaPhysical: ECN began making preliminary plans for a transmission network to link the power generating sites from Lagos with other commercial centers, in 1961, ECN completed a 132 KV transmission line linking Lagos to Ibadan via Shagamu, in 1965, this line was extended to Oshogbo, Benin and Ughelli to form the Western System. In 1962, a statutory organization, the Niger Dams Authority (NDA) was formed to build and maintain dams along River Niger and Kaduna River, NDA went on to commission a 320MW hydro power plant at Kainji. 1 Like |

MENELIIK: Nepotism!? Besides Ironsi who spent a brief spell as Head of State, was there ever a time a Igbo headed central gov’t to have been able to effect all the nepotism you accuse us of? You do realise the colonial government were more interested in merit, results and who could do the job, hence the preponderance of Igbos in administrative and gov’tal positions when they left on 1st Oct’ 1960? Your problem is, as you’re comfortable or prepared to accept Fulani hegemony and domination, for some funny reason you lot go ape and start dreaming up all kinds of conspiracy theories at the thought of Igbos equally heading top administrative, gov’tal or political positions! As we speak, the Fulani have taken over most if not all top positions in agencies and ministries whose operations are domiciled in your backyard, but i don’t see you expressing similar outrage! Ndigbo are a ethnicity blessed by God, and it would serve you no purpose to keep on bellyaching over their successes in life while at the same time giving the Fulani a pass! Those appointments you mentioned, the appointees merited them! We could all see how, despite the purported corruption at the time, Nigerias’ economy was growing in leaps and bounds, until the Nzeogwu coup happened and the Fulani hegemony became firmly entrenched under the military and they brought everything under their control....things started heading south from then onwards! Given the positions Igbo held in governance on the eve of ‘independence’ and also given the positions Igbo have held and are holding in international organisations, bodies and financial institutions (second to no other ethnic grp in Nigeria), i have no reason to believe the positions of which you mentioned were not merited! 2 Likes |

Flairoqy:I'm glad you took the trouble to look it up. George Orwell was one hell of a writer. But his most notable work isn't Animal Farm but a book titled 1984 written in 1948. The name Big Brother came from that book, as well as the idea of people living under the watchful eye of Big Brother. Some people took that idea and name and turned it into a big reality show that many youths waste their time and emotion on today. Try to get a copy of 1948 by George Orwell. You won't be disappointed. 1 Like |

[quote author=kikero post=90972618]OP, not to be petty, but your man was not the father of electricty in Nigeria. That would have been long before your 'father of electricity was born. More information from this Covenat University lecture [url=http://m.covenantuniversity.edu.ng/content/download/35621/245141/,file/38th+Public+Lecture.pdf]here (PDF)[/url] [/quote i don't know what you guys gain fron stirring tribal bashing they said electricity grid it doesn't mean he started electricity generation in Nigeria. The man when he was in charge of ECN designed the grid which we still use today. |
