Bukkyade: . Admitt it, there is improvement in power in Nigeria. Transmission in process,if it has not gotten to jus relax it will. GEJ is working.

bashr8: all this one na cry cry , we are more interested in knowing where theres improvement and which areas are still having blackouts.we are waiting for more people(that reside in nigeria not junkies like you and kobojnkie)to comment

chucky234: Look who is talking, a man who don't know a think about power generation,your likes are the reason why this country is still the way it is. Clueless retarded deluded goon raming his daftness on NL for all to see, your case is a lost one.

bashr8: another sadist so we should shut up if we see improvement in our area just to give GEJ a bad name ? some areas might not feel it yet but for others that are feeling it this is the first time in decades they are having constant supply of electricty , if that is not improvement than i wonder what is.

bashr8: transofrmer she is talking about supplies streets ,avenues. places that are over populated require bigger ones, its left for them to get a bigger one which she indicated they are planing to , why cant you people ever see anything good.

dont derail this thread we only want those that are either getting light or not getting light to comment and tell us their location.

mkmyers45:

Shut your gob before flies enter....are you hearing yourself? Dude, where you born in the 2000's? Stop talking like a squad member abeg

bashr8: what exactly is vexing you , that people are seeing improvement or what? we need to be on the same page ,throwing stones wont get you anywhere.

chucky234: And you dumby said power has improve when govt cannot provide a simple power transformer to serve a district,most of the power transformers serving most streets were bought by residents of those areas and I stand to be prove wrong.

mkmyers45:

Sorry sir but i am disappointed at your words....North East esp Adamawa and Borno are off and on....this is not the first time this sort of boom is happening and definitely not the last...

mkmyers45:

You and who?...carry your self go park well oo....You obviously a toddler recruited by the 40-man squad...Stop insulting yourself ooo...you can say i've never had it better but never you tell Nigerians that...

bashr8: you dey mad , am speaking for my area in enugu and other people are speaking for their areas, you can get heart attack thats your buisness, i dont need to be paid to notice an improvement in electricity in my area.

pembisco: wetin bring chrstians 4 dis mata! Nawao!Anyway, my view about this whole power-improvement matter is that you don't judge with what happens in your tiny area which doesn't make up to 1/1,000,000 of areas in Naija.
I just liken to the kind of prayer I hear some Nigerian Christians say. that, even if fuel were to go for a 100

mkmyers45:

Thank you sir, but i humbly put it to you that you are a toddler with misguided priorities on the net

Cheers

chucky234: For a president who
receives N1bn annually as food
allowance he certainly has no
excuse to why he cannot achieve
anything meaningful in 24 months.

I am waiting for the deluded
GEJ agents to prove the below wrong
and tell me why the most
expensive govt in the world should
be applauded by mere maintenace
projects which 50% was initiated
by past administrations and mere generation of less than 1000MW of electricity in 24 months.

NIGERIAN SENATORS
Basic Salary (BS) = N2,484,245.50
Hardship Allowanc: 50% of Basic
Salary = N1,242,122.75

Total per month = N29, 479,749.00
A senator's anual salary = over
N182 million multiply by 109 senators (don't forget the House of rep,
ministers, ambassadors, ...) In addition to the regular and legitimate salaries and allowances of over N17 million ($113,333) and N14.99 million ($99,933) which senators and reps were collecting yearly and the irregular allowance of estacodes, duty tours etc, they were also collecting over N192m ($1.28m) and N140m ($0.93m) respectively in illicit quarterly allocation which is not provided for by RMAFC.
Effectively, a Nigerian senator was
taking home at least $1.40m ($
1.28m quarterly allocations + $0.113m regular salaries and allowances) as against the $0.174m an American senator takes home hence a Nigeria senator earns at least 8 times as much as an American senator and more than 3 times the American president.
Whereas a Senator in the U.S earns
N21, 146,000, the same as a
member of the House of Representatives; a UK Member of Parliament earn  £64,766 (N14, 896,180) In other words, a Federal Legislator in Nigeria is paid more than double what a Member of British Parliament earns per annum. Senate President David Mark alone takes N250 million quarterly or N83.33 million per month.
Senate Deputy President Ike
Ekweremadu gets N150 million per
quarter or N50 million a month.
Mark and Ekweremadu earns in 4
months, six times what the UK
Prime Minister earns in a year.
David Cameron goes ho me with Â
£190,000 per anum (N43,700,000) In a newspaper news article entitled ‘An Assembly for looting’ written by Musikilu Mojeed with Elor Nkereuwem, the authors rightly claimed that each of the 360 members of the House of
Representatives were getting N35
million in cash money in quarterly
allocation while each of the 109
Senators pockets N48 million each.
These allocations have however
been slashed by 20% to N27 million ($180,000) and N38 million ($253,333) respectively due to the 20% reduction requested by the late president.

bashr8: so no improvement in adamawa, kogi and borno

bashr8: some places state govt,federal govt, local govt supply transofrmers . we can open another thread to debate that.

htajz: wow some people are really angry ,why not open another thread for this.

deshclones:


What in fccks name are the bolded doing with constant power??..abeg enlighten me biko..

Hodaya: Funny enough, Brazil spent $10b and got 10,000MW in return. So far, since 1999 it is estimated that we have about $25b and we lost power in return.

Nothing to get excited about brothers and sisters except you are short sighted.

chucky234: Because I was shocked by your level of stu:pidity about what is going in the country.

deshclones:


What in fccks name are the bolded doing with constant power??..abeg enlighten me biko..

Kobojunkie:

Stop yapping like yet another im_bec_ile and focus. You are told by your Government that average output has fall by about 1000MW in the last 6 months. I repeat this information to you. Where is the blunder? What the heck has the information spread by the Nigerian Govermment to do with my location?
