I am not surprised.

jmaine:

Barth Nnaji, am sure is way smarter and has more value than all your bloodline combined . . .Nuff said . .


Btw, What you termed as hard facts is the empirical evidence of folks seeing their house powered more often than was obtainable . . .and that my friend was evident in that thread i referenced . . . The same way you believed that Kobo reference cos it supported your stance is the same way you won't believe a reference if folks report their experience mainly in the negative . . .




So fella, let's carry out a lil survey experiment by creating another feedback thread on power supply generation from Nigerians residing in various part of the country . .let's hear from them . .You wanna try it out ?

Kobojunkie: 95% of road work in Nigeria are pretty much MAINTENANCE JOBS if you consider that much of the work is on restoring ALREADY EXISTING roads, only that they are in poor states, which happens anywhere.

Last year, we witnessed how a cracked road in Japan, was literally fixed in a matter of days. Can we please stop glorifying road jobs, especially as many of them are just common sense maintenance work, that should really happen more frequently on many of the roads, but due to system delays and corruption only happen once every other year.

philip0906:

Oh yeah a feedback on power on nland right?is dat supposed 2 be a joke? Let me remind you. . .
[size=14pt]1. we will be sidelining the millions who don't have access to laptops not to talk of internet and who should form the backbone of whatever survey cos they are in the majority. . .
[/size]2.How do i trust that you and your boys won't duplicate usernames and spam the thread?
3.How will a survey carried out on nland be considered a true position of the country?

Kobojunkie:

The most obvious of reasons why we rely on the REAL NUMBERS to make decisions on how well the Nation is doing.

Pataki:

DUNCE ALERT again!!!

Bridge maintenance, road maintenance, street maintenance, bla bla bla? Haba, have we really sunk this low in development in Nigeria

philip0906:
In ur desperate bid 2 scramble a list of phantom acheivements, 3rd Mainland bridge maintenance,is now officially an acheivment.hurray 2 d fisherman president . u r a sucka pipe

Pataki:

DUNCE ALERT again!!!

Bridge maintenance, road maintenance, street maintenance, bla bla bla? Haba, have we really sunk this low in development in Nigeria

jmaine:

Agreed . . .Will remind you of this, when you folks place a poll trying to access the admin of GEJ . .Nice development

oiseworld:

oooohhhh so thats on going abi,
what else do you want ? He fights corruption,No achievement, remove subsidy; you'll protest, introduce cassava bread; una no chop. Soo what do you want yee restless and stiff necked children.

You guys remind me of my neibours sturborn baby. That cries consistently at will, rebuffing every attempt to calm him down. The mother finally drops him down to cry endlessly until he sleeps off. Una go soon sleep.

BLIND BATS .!!

dedeike:

Those who ply these roads will laugh at you seriously. Onitsha -Owerri is just a maintence job abi? What is to be maintained in Benin -ORE -Sagamu Highway which your paymaster El Rufai's govt left in a dilapidated state?

Pataki:

DUNCE ALERT AGAIN!!!!

So in your doofus head, El Rufai was the Minister of Highway construction for Benin-Ore road? The same Minister that wept like Jonathan on the same Benin-Ore road the other day is still in government till tomorrow. Right in your RETARDEEN's inglorious administration.

Keep up with your lies, I hope one day it leads you to the freedom your pathetic soul needs.

It obviously means that poverty is still [size=18pt]@ its peak under fisherman [/size]GEJ.

Recent figures by Opera Software Company shows that Nigerians are first in Africa and fifth largest users of Opera Mini browsers in the world. With this latest ranking, Nigeria has surpassed more tech-savvy countries such as the United States and China.

According to StatCounter, internet browsing from mobile phones in Nigeria grew by over 25% between October 2010 and October 2011. In the same period, according to StatCounter, internet browsing from desktops decreased by more than 25%.

You don't need laptops to post on nairaland . .Hope you are aware of that . . .

oiseworld:

your generator never blarr, he go soon bomb join.
Let me ask, how long did it take to build the house from which you're posting all this rubbish? How long tell us? And you want the power situatio to be fixed withing howmany months. A situation that has always been since the existence of nigeria.
You've not seen s***t. despite the security situations which we all know is orchestrated by some individuals, this administration is still making progress. And will make masive progress.

jmaine:

The last time i checked, internet penetration in Nigeria has been increasing on a steady basis, with Nigerian occupying the position as the first in Africa and fifth largest users of Opera Mini browsers in the world . .

What were you saying about poverty and internet penetration under GEJ again . . .

chucky234: Its too bad you not born when Mr. West was a minister of Petroleum in Nigeria,no wonder you display so much stu:pity than anyone else on NL.
Trials of thieves you say,how long does it take to convict a man who scammed govt of N120m and have him lock up in prison? You must be sick to list trials of thieves as achievement when Bankole who single handedly scammed govt of N600m is still roaming the streets a freeman let alone group of people who shared N120m between themselves.
Well I'll be happy if you can well list Reginald's great achievement since resuming office, it may also interest you to know that FG were not ready to pass the PIB into law if not for the cloned copy that went into circulation which eventually forced them to pass the PIB into law relunctantly.
But is the passing of PIB into law an achievement as you foolishly claimed? I guess not because this govt has been effective with the passing of bills into law but alarmingly poor in implementing them and that makes your point rediculous and childish,google failed to lecture you on that.
Poor you...

dedeike:
Mr DAYOKANOU,
I said clearly that Ibadan -Ilorin road is under Dualisation by this administration. Is it rocket science to understand?

dedeike:

In the annals of our Petroluem industry, Diezani will be remembered as the first oil minister to hand Nigeria a legal and regulatory framework for the oil sector via the PIB.
She will be remembered as the first minister to institute a govt probe into the Petroluem sector.
She will be remembered as the first minister to further institute criminal proceedings against oil thieves in Nigeria.

Construction of toll plaza and reinforced concrete median barriers, concrete box and ring culverts and concrete lined drains.

bayooooooo: GEJ has failed not just the entire nation but also himself. He has taken incompetence to highest level, corruption to an unenviable height. The President himself admitted to woeful performance by blaming his lackluster, corruption ridden administration on Boko Haram a la insecurity as if the same was not aggravated under his watch. The federal payroll has quadrupled under his watch which effectively reduces capital expenditures to nothing more than a mere purchase of "tooth pick".

The other day, his administration told the nation that a whooping 1.4 million jobs were created within 12months. They continue to run an expensive propaganda to feed these lies, deceit and outright conjectures to unsuspecting Nigerians. They have hired an attack dog, so more of this thread will spring up in immediate foreseeable future! It's that not what this thread is all about? To trumpet the achievements of GEJ? You said the foreign reserves rose to 37billion, can you tell us who depleted it? Can you tell us the debt profile (FG share) of this nation now? If you don't know, it's rising under the watch of clueless President. Why won't 120billion scam be exposed? Has Dame Patience not been collecting salary as a ghost worker for the past twelve years? Anybody can expose anything, we will applaud him if his wife return all the salary she had been paid without commensurate work. The proposed SWF is a mere change of appellation from what's used to be excess crude account. It's not a new initiative but essentially a fraudulent ornamentation to portray GEJ as an innovative leader which in any case he's far from.

The reforms you hype about in oil sector are non existent. What's oozing out is putrid odor of monumental corruption that's suffocating the entire nation. We have seen how executives of NNPC are being retired in one sweep in a glaring case of tenure violation and same executives being praised for job well done. We have seen how the subsidy figures provided by CBN, Okonjo Iweala, NNPC chairman differ as if no records are being kept. We have seen how subsidy funds jumped astronomically between 2010 and 2011. Every man of good conscience is aware that GEJ fraudulently used the funds to run his election campaigns and that explains why all efforts to catch these thieves have been impeded and under intense pressure ended up arraigning sons of past and incumbent chairman of PDP? What a natural coincidence. GEJ refroms in energy sector also brought the OPL 245 Malabu scam where the president reportedly got his share. He does not give a damn you know! The petroleum industry bill is not an idea of Diezani. It was already presented to the NASS but GEJ chickened out when Shell and US mounted opposition against the Bill as Yar'Adua previously wanted the bill to sail through. What you have now is a watered down version that is essentially a retention of the status quo ante. On refinery, tell that to the marines! Vulcan "is to, wants to, proposes to etc" falls within the deceitful propaganda of this administration. Not to talk of the credibility of Aganga and Vulcan (I dey laugh). Come back and trumpet that as achievement when construction is in progress.

On roads, we can only hope that will not be abandoned. Some of the roads have been awarded in the past but fall within the 6000 projects that the PDP led government have abandoned with impunity, without accountability and they continue like the present inept leadership to run the country down. No contractor was questioned, no policy enunciated to prevent re-occurrence and some of these companies that have sordid history of abandoned projects are being engaged to work in other areas a la Vulcan. Not to even talk that the list is a mere pint of water for a thirsty man. It merely scratches the problem at the surface.

On transportation, what's massive in expansion of the domestic wing of Abuja Airport? What's the updates on the so called upgrade of Enugu airport? As at 2010, I could not use same airport. I had to use the one at Owerri so what has/have he/they been doing for such a long time to bring to fruition their efforts? Meanwhile Delta just built a modest airport in Asaba without "is to, plan to, wants to" mantra that has become the watch word of this administration. Lest I forget, where is the 1600 buses promised by GEJ to cushion in the effect of the suffering masses? Yeah I know, he does not give a damn!

On education, while the Almajiris initiave is commendable, the rest amounts to pure junk. What's the fate of the federal universities that are acutely underfunded? Why establish universities that will not have adequate funding? Who are the lecturers that will teach in these universities? A more serious, innovative and cerebral president with a genuine PhD would have thought otherwise and instead focused on establishing Research and Infrastructure Upgrade Funds for existing universities. It seems the administration is suffering from poverty of the mind.

On agriculture, where is the policy? The administration wants to use the prevalent subsistence farming in the country to drive agricultural development? What a huge joke! Where are these "massive construction of silos" located? How is it being run? How do we get the products to the silos? Is the government creating a mechanism to act as interface between the farmers and the market? Cassava Bread Campaign is not a comprehensive policy as you have posited. Even at that, what's the correlation between cassava and silos? Do you keep Cassava in a silo? While setting up a loan scheme on the surface looks attractive and commendable, the question remains, how accessible are these loans? Banks do give loans but are not quite accessible to poor farmers. How's this loan different from conventional one? How many farmers have been able to access it? Or is it another NAPEP to feed PDP thugs?

On power, there is a genuine effort to improve the system. That's visible. The sector is such that if a plant is not completed, the effect can not be felt. There is nothing like 75% or etc completion. That's a unique challenge of power generation. Reviving NIPP, an initiative of OBJ, seems a right step in the right direction and a competent man in person of Prof Barth is at helm of affairs. I sincerely hope GEJ's culture of "I don't give a damn" and corruption will not be visited on the sector as well.

Overall, GEJ has failed the nation. (If we add insecurity, corruption, etc , you can only imagine the verdict).

Katsumoto:

The only visible achievements GEJ seems to have is that he has assembled a motley crue of Internet spin doctors dunces.

Yes i head it from NL that when a very hot tea drop on cassava bread it becomes eba.
