phreakabit: Yeah! I bet there's some hidden catch to this. . . If ther is it's definitely gonna have something to do with his pro-f@g movement. Faggo presido

America wey owu dey catch wella wan give $7B just like that?

The question is what do they want.

toyfat: Obama no be so nao..the problem isn't lack of fund...a failed presidential cabinete would never permit the incumbents achieve what they failed to achieve...u pple (US) should come down to get it done..I'm sure most nigerians would appreciate that

udatso:
For one, I won't Appreciate it and am sure many people share my idea...we shouldn't be talking about whether the issue is fund or lack of fund....the issue is why is USA doing this...I pray they never achieve this aim cause we have seen that america always have a hidden agenda that would benefit them more than it would benefit us....believe me, the price Nigeria would pay won't be worth it....America!!!leave us alone...

REALITY101: We have an idiootic president and his name is Obama

trolling: cuz they are ruled by people in darkness

all4naija: . I can deduce from this your comment to be a primitive man idea, the type who refuses to progress. Sorry, it is clear your country cannot find solution to the blackout all these years.

BabaAlabi: As at 2013,if a country like Nigeria with vast resources cannot provide uninterrupted power,it means there is a problem. The leaders are bad,Yes, but what about the followers? Who are those asking the important questions like
How much power do we have currently?How much do we need? How much is it going to cost to generate what we need? How can we prevent the funds from developing wings?
When we find answers to these questions that's when there will be progress...not side tracking by talking about NGF,APC or EFCC but by saying no more to darkness and holding the government responsible.

trolling: broke country wey wan pledge lol

udatso:
Call me whatever names you like, I would rather remain in darkness than have SAINT USA to come help me out..the modern world you speak of is just slavery

mekaboy: THE SAME US GOVT THAT CALLS NIGERIAN GOVT CORRUPT WILL STILL GIVE OUT MONEY WHEN THEY KNOW IT WILL BE SHARED.

all4naija: You can get a paraffin lantern and go to your village if you so much wished to be in darkness. Nobody is preventing you from living your barbaric life in your village but don't bring it to haunt others who are willing to move forward as in progress.

mekaboy:

We don't need US giving us money for power, they should help us recover the money looted in the power sector. Let them help us get obasanjo to account for the billions of dollars spent on power with no result.

dangiwa09:

It's NOT Obama's responsibility to ask OBJ and Jonathan, it's the responsibility of you Nigerians to question your leaders and take responsibility for your lives.

Besides, if you read the article very well and understood it, then you should know that the US will NOT be writing a check to the Nigerian government for power project. This was in the speech "The program includes $1.5 billion from the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation and $5 billion from the Export-Import Bank, the White House said". Go figure out what that means.

Rex123:


I can't still believe that people believe that shit that America s broke. That is a stupid propaganda, a country that can give out 7billion dollars isn't broke.
That country re playing their card well, concerning Obama speech that he isn't worried about China investment in Africa is all lies, they re trying to out buy China in Africa.

Pattey: Barack HUSSEIN Obama can like to sharrap and leave us alone in peace. . . My people, be ye not deceived! Beware of Trojan gifts . . .

ballabriggs: Obama will do well to start by asking OBJ and Jona how much they have spent over the last 10 years and how much electricity we have today. $17 billion by OBJ alone.

Perhaps one needs to tell him the problem is not all about availability of funds.

On hearing the news, NEPA MD must have brought out his calculator to see how much of the $7 billion will probably get into his pocket.

0.05% of $7 billion = $350,000 *faints*

CROWÉ: As a matter of human talent, population size and natural resources, Nigeria has the potential to be easily one of the five most anything in this world you can think of, that's a lot of potential and what it means is that if Nigeria turns herself around and fixes her problems, any nation would want Nigeria on their side and that is what Obama is buying. For all you fools and idiots out there.

You people keep talking about Americans poison money or whatever, who do you think rebuilt Western Europe after WW2? The Europeans certainly didn't, they were all broke, their women were raped and they were half dead. Today the Europeans aren't slaves to the Americans now are they? The English are relatively subject to the Americans though but Europe is run by Europeans, namely Germany and France. All America does is put money were they see potential so that when you blossom you will be friendly towards them so shut up, accept the money, fix your nation for yourself and your children and appreciate Obama's god damned charity.

Ola one:
Are you sure? Europe was successfully rebuilt because America wanted it that way.


And, for your information, America runs Europe.
