nusetron: @taqhara,@tchalk no 1 is saying power situation hasn't improved slightly, but why must a president pay millions of naira 4 cheap publicity when he knows d improvement isn't a marked 1. Obviously he bragged on air about lagos and amanpour decided 2 visit lagos. Leave ur sentiment aside n please 4get abt benin 4 now and think abt d general populace, evaluate their thoughts and u will know Jonathan just made a mockery of the nigerian populace. 2 cap it all I grew up in lagos and power wasn't this bad prior 2 now, so if lagosians say jona no try, ABEG TAKE IT FROM THEM. Cos its simply d GOSPEL TRUTH

lovejo: In my area in Ibadan, Oluyole extension precisely, we got light of at least 18 to 20hrs daily, anyone living around this area can confirm it, I don't know about those having transformer problem.

Chrisbenogor:

Jeez we are not yet at the promised land, I agree!

The decay in the power sector over the many years the military held power cannot and I repeat CANNOT be repaired in even 10 years. It will take TIME even if all the money in the world is there.

OBJ used 16 billion dollars to produce darkness was never able to get generation above 2k MW for 8 years same thing Yar adua. I do not like the pdp or GEJ, but we should stop letting these people pull us down each time. Na so slave trade start, you think Christiane is on your side? Dream pfocking on!

Josh090:
On point bro...I only fear of power outage whenever it seems like rain.

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. 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..

Josh090:
This is true in my own case too...last time I tried to start my gen, it didn't start and am still to repair it.
But guy, why must you always abuse yoruba people?

pauloman:


Nobody is trying to criticize his performance but a real,true and compassionate leader will be very objective,sincere with his words and be honest at all times about the situation of things such that he would command respect from his followers . GEJ was trying to embellish his performance in that interview which does not tally well with the real situation on ground.

lovejo: In my area in Ibadan, Oluyole extension precisely, we got light of at least 18 to 20hrs daily, anyone living around this area can confirm it, I don't know about those having transformer problem.

Josh090: If they had interviewed people in my area in IB, the response would have been very different. Power in my area is almost 90% constant, I mean, ALWAYS ON.
But, I guess not so many places in Nigeria can say the same thing.

Panter215: This discussion or argument is not the important. If power as improved, why is the presidency budgeting for fuel for running generators. Also why is the value more than last year's value? Abeg make I go buy some for filling station come.

GARRI (x7):
Bwahahaha!!!

Yet some eediiots on NL run about from thread to thread like demon-possessed drunkards lying about how they now have light 36 hours every day...

Such ones are evil their lies have a terrible stench which surpasses that of a mixture of decaying corpse and freshly discharged fecal matter. Such ones are collective children of darkness, sons of disobedience, advocates of deceit and self-aggrandisement. For such vessels which are already marked for decimation, the judgement of the lord shall come very swiftly!!



Hon. Garri (x7)

Take it easy bros... calm down...don't give yourself high blood pressure . Just say it is well..

KokoBeware:

Because it doesn't take 2years to generate and transmit enough power for 160million people........ power has improved no doubt and it's improving... GEJ never claimed we had 24hour power supply... He said it has improved and still went ahead to say there is still more to be done... Most people did not watch or read the transcript of the interview.... Just jumped along with the bandwagon claiming he said what not.....

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

Saintp: @ Tarqha and sincerenigerian,

While do you always defend the govt with so much vigour? I have not seen any post in which you admitted any wrong doing of the govt or you criticise the govt. Are you telling me that this govt is the best? Are u satisfied with the situation of this country? It is people like you that are causing our problems. If GEJ advisers are like you, we will never make any headway cos the president will always hear wot he wants to hear. I jump your post most times cos i already know wot u will say and when i do manage to read it,its always what you are known for.

Sometimes it pays to tell people you love the truth. Most people criticize the govt cos they want him to make ammend and succeed. They want him to prove them wrong.

AK-ONE:
See Nigerians exposing the weakness of their Nation to the world. I wonder if Amanpour is the one that will solve the power problem in Nigeria. I have never seen critics like Nigerians, even calling their president "Retarded". Even if the President lied, calling him names is only creating a bad image for us as Nigerians? All Nations have their issues, even America but they keep their issues to themselves. America is Never our standard. Power supply is bad in Nigeria, but it is not what it used to be. Improvement is a process. We only wish it would be faster. GEJ can do better.

Okija_juju:

ENGLISH LANGUAGE 101

TOPIC: Improved

Definition: IMPROVED : to enhance in value or quality : make better

^{Example. No. 1} The fuel consumption of my car has greatly improved since I changed my injector.. _Meaning..Though my car still consumes fuel, its not as bad as it used to be.
^{Example No. 2} The Light situation in Nigeria has IMPROVED significantly.. _MEANING.. Though PHCN power supply is still erratic, its not as bad as it formerly was.



Okay you are right, I will work on my english or next time write in a language I have control of but help explain your logic on the fuel budgeted for the presidency and the need for the value to be higher each year.
