Abeg help me ask am o! Maybe e be PHCN staff, stage-managing d whole fing! My area for Benin na 5mins per day dem dey bring light & d voltage be like candle flame.
There is no area in d country that has 24hr uninterrupted power supply, except ofcos...Aso Rock Villa!

ypzilanti:

Hot chick. But you are a woman, na.

naijababe:

Why do people never give up?! Open MIC should have been set up in Benin jare, those phony Lagosians, na ACN pay them to yarn opata jare

ehie: you guys need to go and see how Beaf and Crew have taken over amanpour's blog...lol

http://amanpour.blogs.cnn.com/2013/02/04/what-nigeria-and-the-super-bowl-have-in-common/

ypzilanti: My advice is that the President's media aides should quietly let this one slide. Something tells me that Amanpour is going to be relentless in destroying their pack of lies if they try a back and forth with her. This one no be Channels or AIT reporter,oh. Let's not wash our dirty linen in public. Memo to Abati and Okupe: Leave Amanpour alone,oh...or you will regret it.

Chrisbenogor: This is total bullshit Journalism!!

Power supply has improved in Nigeria, if where you stay is exempt, sorry and wait small.

These pfocking Neo imperialists

pauloman:


This Jonadunce and his government think they can lie to the western media and get away with it. Little do they know that the truth is out there for the seasoned journalist and reporters of the western media to seek for. Imagine the retard claiming on public media that the light situations has improved in Nigeria on that CNN interview the day he was being interviewd...SMH. It was like i should rip off the TV screen and slap him with my two bare hands to STFU !!!


Little did he know that Amanpour would do a follow up on his statement and interview Nigerians on his claim about the country now having steady power supply which has now been established as a blattant lie ! For GEJ to make such a false statement on international media and on top of that further prooved wrong by the CNN report on the interview shows how corrupt minded he is !!!

Kamanda:

I thought you lived in Enugu....Oh I forget that is your other I.D.called insinseregoat.

-Tip-
(sorry,try edit ur Enugu/Sincere posts so they are different from your Benin/Taharqa posts) But good job,my man.

ypzilanti:

Development does not have anywhere to hide. It's only in Nigeria that we have people asking others to look under rocks for on-going 'development'.

When power briefly improved about mid 2012, everyone agreed that it has indeed improved. Those of us who are always suspicious of F.G. agreed that it had improved too. Even opposition parties agreed it had improved, but cautioned ominiously about being in hurry to celebrate. Eventually, the opposition was proven right: Barth Nnaji was sacked, and we went back to square one. Now the megawatts are all being 'generated' in the pages of the newspapers.

Summarry: GEJ should accelerate the privatisation process. When we have 10,000 megawatts, then he can crow. For now all the boasting and bravado is hollow for people who are watching his interviews with generators purring outside.

v love: i think dis should not be the issue, we agree that power has improved but why cant we have uninterrupted power supply after so much billions has been spent and presently on going.

Nigeria is one of the richest countries where the cbn governor can be paid 25,000 a day for just an allowance of whatever he calls it saying that the president approved his allowances and income, where the entire nigerian airspace is filled with private jets jettying off and fro different destinations, where a man that stole the sum of 23billion naira can be given a fine of 750,000.00 or a jail option of 2year in jail while cant we can uninterrupted power supply.

KokoBeware:


But she left out this part which I think justified his statement

JONATHAN: We are not quite where we should be, and of course you know the power infrastructure is
one investment that you must complete the (inaudible) before the ball collides. You must generate, you
must transmit, you must (inaudible), and even if you have the money and the political will to do so, you
cannot do it overnight. And we are working very hard and I promise you that, before the end of this
year how I will be reasonably stable in Nigeria. This is something that has been a problem for years, for
years. So, you cannot correct it overnight. It takes time, even if you have the money.

Okija_juju: Watched the darn thing live yesternight on CNN



Why would CNN choose some retards to film?! That Okoko Yoruba girl was just speaking fhune (with 'How' being pronounced as 'ow') and she was overly excited to be filmed by CNN. [b]She even claimed they had 4 generators at home.


IMO, Light situation in my area has improved from the norm. I havent had need to put on my generator at night in over a month. I have an inverter but between the Inverter and NEPA light, I always have power all night when I am home. Infact, at night, if the light goes out, its always turned back on in under 30 minutes..

[/b]

PrettyRita: The truth is, power has improved in Nigeria. I bet you, if we were as old as America is today, light won't go off for one second, especially with the structure GEJ has put in place.
Amanpour could not stand the shame of power going off in the states, and in defense, she sieves, selected those that will suit her mission to sensationalize the matter. Atleast Nigerians now know that america isn't what we think. They are not what they claim or portray. Nigeria is improving.

taharqa: Just watched the programme Now and am DISGUSTED at the extremely 'bad Journalism' that she put together in that short clip.

She gathered just 3 persons in Lagos and asked them to say something about their power supply, and all of them said that power had not increased and that they had not had light for 3 weeks!!! Those are the views of an average Nigerian, right? *smh*.

I stay in Benin and Power has improved on my end for many many months now except for some few times when there are National issues, like last Friday till Wednesday this week when we had a terrible supply probably cos of the new Benin-Onitsha Transmission Line repairs. THIS IS FACT.

Amanpour just behaved as badly as that other CNN presenter (the Kenya Guy- I have forgotten his name) who presented an extremely wrong programme on the Niger Delta crisis some years ago, and just like this programme also gathered FAKE persons to conduct his interviews. Nigeria protested, He was SACKED and that ended his International career. She ought to know better.

taharqa: I reside in d Ugbowo and Upper Mission areas; and power has very very significantly improvd in those areas and MOST parts of Benin, except for d FEW things when there are national systems issues like I said. THIS IS FACT. They interruptd light about 20mins ago and just restord it now- this is not unusual to us here where I stay for almost a yr.... NO body talkd about 24hrs CONSTANT supply, dat is not even possible for MANY parts of Nigeria even b4 2015; am talking of significant improvements and real work done. GEJ inheritd a DEAD power sector for Goodness' sake, and only a complete IJIOT wud expect him (or anybody for that matter) to clear d decays of decades in 2yrs. WHAT THA FUVK IS WRONG WITH US

dapachez: Shebi you stay in ugbowo which stretches from uselu market encompassing technical college area,uwasota,nova road,adolor college road,federal government college road,university of benin teaching hospital and university of benin? My family stays in benin and I visit often,so tell me specifically where you experience the improvement.fine in decembar during the yultide the light supply improved but will a few days of light supply make up for the months of epileptic power supply. I. Spent more then 25 yrs of my life in benin so I know what am taking about. The only area where light is a bit stable in benin is sapele road and it has been like that for decades right from d military era and parts of GRA n ekehwan road apart from those areas the others from ikpoba hill to aduwawa to 1st,2nd and 3rd east circular to textile mill road,ogida,siloko areas have never had steady light supply. I know how much we spend on fuel weekly.was edo state mentioned among the states that will be affected by the onitsha relay wahala? NO. Let's get our facts straight and call a spade a spade. Propaganda will not when so many are suffering and a few suffer. Let's work together to make this country better. We deserve power supply,its our right and not a priviledge and what's all these nonsense of improvement,isn't it long overdue? Let's hold our leaders accountable and stop playing to the gallery. It hasn't been easy for this administration but failure aint an option. If Jonathan can deliver adeqate power or make our refinaries work come 2015 I will be at the fore front mobilizingg for him

express101:
Don't be selfish. Maybe ur area has light, but do not speak for the majority of Nigerians who do not have light to carry out business activities, or light in their home. The status quo is not good enough, and shouldn't be acceptable. Nigerians deserve better

Reptyle:

I actually have 4 generators at home...plus one inverter. I do not want to believe that the few of you who are excited about the regularity in power supply are lying. But the truth for some of us is that majority of Nigerians are in darkness for the larger part of the day.

Anyone who lives in Satellite Town and environs in Lagos can testify that electricity is a scarce commodity in that area. My generators are overworked and I spend a premium on petrol every month.

So you cannot blame people who like me, felt insulted by the President's boastful claim on CNN about how the average Lagosian is happy about electricity. Next time, let him present the statistics as they are and allow CNN or whosoever wants to know make their deductions about progress in the sector or a lack thereof. The President's media handlers need to coach him on responding to questions objectively and honestly.
