We keep saying the military, the military in a few year the number of year under military will be equal to the number of years we have spent under democracy. Thank you some people believes it will take 20 years or even more, especially that it's now their time to rule, they must make the situation worse than they met it  1 Like |

Amanpour also made mention of Okonjo Iweala of being a passionate defender of Nigeria. I actually saw her as a capitalist agent. She is in Nigeria for a mission. She is well educated but common man won't benefit from her policies. They have sold so many things from the Obasanjo days, and now she is back to sell the remaining ones without a single alternatives. By the time she is done with Nigeria, only God will save us. All she will be telling you will be poll results and statistical analysis, but food and basic amenities we may not have.

OKONJO-IWEALA: As you know, Nigeria became a democracy again when President Obasanjo came into power in 1999. Two decades prior to that, there was hardly any investment in electricity. THAT'S IS A BLOODY LIE, IF I HAVE EVER SEEN ONE. |

Red-Light: A lot of areas in Port-Harcourt, is having wonderful light, while other areas like Rumukwuta, Mgbougba, Rumuodomaya, are in total darkness. What these guys are doing is cutting off some areas and making other areas stable. Then go out claiming they are improving power. For about four days now, Light hasn't even come. We have seen light for about 4 nights in a whole month. These guys are just robbing Peter to Pay Paul. This is a scam government.  |

NOI is a very experienced public communicator & she would have had prior discussions with Amanpour as to the direction of the interview. For her experience & at her level, she has to defend Nigeria without seen to be dishing out falsehood. She also was on assignment to reverse the damage of GEJ's Davos interview which was a PR disaster. As for her interview, she did was was required. Finito!! As for us,we fail to understand a lot of things. (1) Change does not come by Huffing & Puffing. We are too into ourselves that nobody is ready to takes the pains or sacrifice for the next person. We have bn shapened over the years to think of ourselves only and not others. We are too proud to our detriment e.g, we look down on neighbouring countries, meanwhile, we beg, steal & borrow to send our children to school in Ghana & Lome. Shame on us!!

As for us,we fail to understand a lot of things. (2) We fail to understand relativity.Because you have electricity in your neighbourhood for 72 hours but you are not likely to have for the next 1 week doesnt mean things are okay. We have bn reduced to accepting mediocrity. This is 2013 for crying out loud, how can anybody literate enough to use the internet be content wt this abysmally poor Power provision Its a big shame to applaud the level of electricity we are getting. I am sick & tired of hearing blames bn leveled at past govts. With the kind of money at our disposal, we should use it intelligently to provide power. Have we thought of sectional power provision that can then be collapsed into the national grid in future? Can we not learn from the principle of "VPN" in power as well? Its not new or unsual, examples abound or VPNs in power provision, its just left for the right thinking Ogs at te top to bring them together e.g, NLNG supplies 24 hour power to Bonny & Finima, that is a VPN. Rayfield in Jos enjoys constant power supply, that is a VPN; Lagos has a tiny facility on Marina that supplies Broad street & environs; some housing estates run gas fuelled gens 24/7.Let each "Block' as you call them in America have their own VPNs that could then be collapsed into the national grid later. 1 Like |

In conclusion, a lot of us are unaware of the Wickedness in governance in Nigeria. 99.99% of those in power couldnt care less about your plight, infact, you dont exist to them & if you do, its to use you to make money. All the noise the govt makes about one project or the other is simply to line their pockets. The projects are unbelievebly over inflated whether its power; roads; airport or everyday governance. Legislators set up probe committes just to line their pockets even though they collect armed robbers salaries. Its is rumoured they collect 500k overnight allowance. All the politicians & the accompanying SSAs;SAs;TAs; & contract hunters are all adding to the destruction of Nigeria & we are aiding them by watching and then abusing ourselves along tribal lines on Social Media. When are we going to Occupy Nigeria & force a change because we saw an Unfair list of Oil Block owners. When are we going to Occupy Nigeria & force a change because we saw the list that a Senator goes home with =N=360,000,000 per annum. When are we going to Occupy Nigeria & bring about a change because we have seen that Fuel Subsidy is a scam! When are we going to Occupy Nigeria & bring about a change because we refuse govt to transfer the Subsidy payment of marketers to us when (1) we dont know the true cost of importation (2)our refineries have failed to work When are we going to Occupy Nigeria & bring about a change because we see that our leaders are not representing us but their pockets only When are we going to Occupy Nigeria & bring about a change because we see that the educational system has collapsed & we are only creating more Universities when the existing ones are hardly viable When are we going to Occupy Nigeria & bring about a change because we see that the Judiciary is no longer the last bastion of hope for nigerians NOI; SLS; Oby & other well meaning Nigerians are giving us promptings that they need our help to get things rightly done. They cannot fight the system from within as they wld be immediately sacked but they occassionally give us hints of what we should go up in arms for & put excessive pressure on the govt at all levels but we are to divided to hear; listen and act upon it & becos of that, the impunity of govt continues and if we continue to allow it, we might be known as refugees in the nearest future & no longer Nigerians. God help us to wake up! 1 Like |
