Demdem:

Aproko, let him speak for himself. U seem to be much more dumb than he is. I prefer him abegii.

Demdem: Again, i salute the OBJ admin for initiating and commencing this project
Secondly, kudos to the retardeen for sustaining it.
However, am concerned that we dont have sufficient transmission capability to adequately evacuate the very little MWs we are presently generating which is very important as it will determine if Nigerians have power supply in their homes or not.
This is where i expect the retardeen to focus more on.

Sealeddeal: just go and start thanking God for GEJ.

Sincere 9gerian:

Yes oh! We MUST commend OBJ for initiating and commencing the project just the same way he initiated and commenced the construction of second Niger bridge as reported below:

Bring up a thread and lets discuss Niger bridge. this is about Geregu Plant.

My friend, OBJ had 8 SOLID years to commence and COMPLETE whatever projects he thought were top priority.

8yrs is neither 8days nor 8months.

Whatever was not completed by someone who had 8yrs to PLAY WITH, was OBVIOUSLY not seen as priority. Or maybe the person had his priorities wrong.

Crap. Do u even have an idea when the NIPP projects commenced originally? I care less if u delight in criticising OBJ but it wont change the fact that under his govt and leadership, the geregu Plant was conceived and construction commenced to an advanced stage before he left.

I am constrained to say that the facts that pertain to the four plants established during the period and which can be verified by all, clearly show that nothing can be farther from the truth than Ngige’s assertion above. The siting of the plants namely, Papalanto (Olorunsogo), Omotosho, Geregu and Afam V were based on sound technical consideration and the prices at which the plants were procured were highly competitive by global standards and are the cheapest Nigeria has ever procured viz:

1) The Papalanto and Omotosho plants were located less than five kilometres to the existing Escravos – Lagos Gas Pipeline making the cost of connecting them to gas less than $5million each.

2) The Geregu plant was located less than eight kilometres from the existing Pipeline that takes gas to the Ajaokuta Steel plant.

3) The AfamV Plant was located within the existing Afam Power Plant and therefore did not need any special pipe laying.

4) The distance of all the four power plants from existing major transmission lines is less than two kilometres making the cost of connection to the National Grid infinitesimal.

5) The turnkey costs of all the four power plants were less than $500 per megawatt which was verified by the Due Process Office to be globally very competitive. The benchmark price used for the NIPP projects which came up later was more than $1000 per megawatt.

6) All the four plants were completed within 24 months from contractors’ mobilisation, making them the fastest of deliveries in the history of Nigeria. AfamV was commissioned within 12 months!

7) A concessionary funding programme was negotiated with the Chinese Exim Bank for the Papalanto and Omotosho power plants through which Nigerian government paid only 35 per cent of their cost for the plants to be delivered. The balance of 65 per cent will be paid over a seven year period at six per cent interest rate and two years moratorium. The idea was that after paying 35 per cent and the plant was completed within two years, the income from generated power would be used to pay up the balance of 65 per cent without recourse to the Nigerian treasury!

The facts above are all verifiable on the ground and in the books of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria. What is perhaps intriguing is that Ngige, a former State Governor, presently the Deputy Chairman of the Senate Committee on Power and who was a contractor to NEPA

Eediot, retardeen is not even an English word let alone going to check in a dico. u are so dumb.

Sealeddeal: just go and start thanking God for GEJ.

U hv jus exposed ur stupidity. Wether english word or not, many words in english dict. were borrowed. Or let's say d word retard ws authored by d world renown gramarian, DEMDEM, we stil d hv 2 shy away from d meaning u ascribe 2 it which proves me right dat nothing good comes from a retardeen but u jus foolish & ignorantly told us dat u're a retardeen.

Fool so inside ur dico, the word Retardeen exist right? u are just a morron. Ok, whats the meaning of retardeen fool? eediot, stop these rants and lets talk about power which is the reason for this thread.

gbadexy:
He stated that with the completion of all
the gas turbine projects, the NIPP
capacity would hit 4,264MW by the end of
2013, adding that there would be follow
up on the outstanding combined cycle for
Alaoji (510MW) this year.



I though the power generation has reached 4300 MW before, which one is this at the end of a whole year again(2013).

hercules07: OBJ should be praised for Geregu, if not for the fact that he was a stubborn man, he would have been praised for far more, the greatest kudos should go to OBJ followed by Yar Adua then GEJ, after we have given them kudos, we will like to know how much of the common wealth was spent to bring this things on stream.

Sibrah: I still maintain my stance in all of this. Where is the provision for transmission of the power they claimed to have generated. In the absence of a solid explanation, my verdict is this:
The GEJ Admin is simply using the restriction on power transmission capacity to make frivolous claims of power generation capacity because they know fully well that power transmission comes after power generation and is dependent on power generation in a power system.

solomon111: Are people really praising OBJ on this thread?
The same man that ruled for 8yrs without any improvement in power.
The same man that embezzled $12 billion meant for power.
WTF.

warrior01:
it doesn't really pay to be an armchair critic without facts. major transmission projects are ongoing and whether you like it or not we will get there; your hatred for Gej not withstanding.

Demdem: To those who delight in distorting facts. U can also read this to understand the careful planning of the OBJ's admin on power plants location.

4llerbuntu: GEJ is working by commissioning infrastructures that were contracted out before his term of office or are the fruits of private companies and initiatives put in place as far back as the obasanjo led Govt?


sometimes i wonder about the IQ requirements of being employed as a GEJ mouthpiece and of course blindly supporting this PDP led Govt.


im not surprised though. This country still has a majority population of illiterates and most of the ones who purport to have had some form of education are functional illiterates.

this type of asinine fuckery is to be expected


GEJ is WORKING Y'ALL. Pop Shampoo!!

Noblechyk:
Except dat u're not talking about power. U're jus showing ur dat u think through d anus.

Fool, my first comment u qouted, what was it talking about if not about power? are u this daft?

Sincere 9gerian:

The propagandists can continue in their LIES but lies cannot fly in the face of TRUTH. The FACTS on this issue were laid bare by a legislative enquiry into the power sector reforms under OBJ regime. The findings from that enquiry, as reported below, SHOCKED the entire country (Apr 2010):

kutchs:
[s]The more u write the more ur stupidity becomes more obvious.
Dont even know why noble elected to take u on but this is just to ask u to check ur dict and whatever it means to be retarded is what u are.

Case closed.[/s]

dagbokoncept: A̶̲̥̅♏ very sure GEJ is trying to set a pace I̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ development of the power sector I̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ Nigeria but that doesn't mean his not as cruel as those that ruled before.Even .More is still needed to be done.
