throughout GEJ'S tenure, the waters never rose to the level of giving Nigerians this kind of power we've right now.
Sai Baba, even waters fear you, with you at the helm of our affairs, waters have changed course.

It's been quite a while it rained don't u think?

The major power plants are gas powered. Egbin is the largest gas power plant in Africa and currently accounts for 20% of the power generation in the country.

The major issues we have had with power generation and transmission has been as a result of gas pipeline vandalism. Which is apparently a fraud or a sabotage of the GEJ's administration.

Whichever is the case, no one has substantial facts to prove that it was a sabotage. After inception of the PMB administration, the reports we have is that firm actions were taken to stop the gas pipeline vandalism.

Probably GEJ was his own undoing after all he allowed so much insanity in his government. Although he put so much into the power sector, its quite unfortunate for him that the yields were not felt during his administration.

PMB has "taken out the gas vandalism issues" and what you are experiencing right now is what we should have been experiencing a while back.

As usual, you spoke the word out from my mouth. At lagos mainland precisely, Ladipo-oshodi axis, power has been constant.

INTROVERT:
let me wait too...


The situation is obviously good around the country now. The dams are full, gas supply is constant and yes... Nobody wants to mess with GMB.

This current situation shouldn't make the government lax. More investments are needed in the power sector especially the TSGP so that more gas fired plants can be built up north.





Let's however wait till dry season for us to really complement.

[b][/b]I just hope we will keep enjoying it like this, bcoz with electricity many things will change. Oh! Concerning who to praise, one fact u guys should note is that alot of people sabotaging Jonathan government would not even dream of doing same in PMB government, alot of them scared to their spines. I think that's wat a leader attributes is, Mr No nonsense for our kind of society but should have a human face too

Maybe because GEJ:

Built and commissioned FAR MORE power stations than his predecessors COMBINED


Fixed and expanded existing power stations

Ensured adequate gas supply via the GAS REVOLUTION that saw the construction and expansion of the MASSIVE gas delivery system

Upgraded and expanded the transmission grid, building far more substations and stringing new power lines

Responsible for massive distribution of of step down transformers initially held up at ports and PHCN offices

Built new distribution substations across the federation

Unbundled PHCN and sold it off, allowing for private sector participation

Outsourced TCN to major Canadian Utility Firm



GEJ didn't build any power plant and not even 1 transformer. The power plants he commissioned were initiated and built by OBJ and before you come back with more garbage, make sure you have the names of the power plants GEJ built and commissioned.


The transmission lines are still the same transmission lines managed by the same transmission company that didn't deliver under GEJ so what's your point?


Beats me why you funny people are shouting GEJ for everything that didn't work under him for 6 long years while at the same time crediting him for what's working under PMB.

Even comatose and compromised EFCC under GEJ is working overtime under PMB so what happened? GEJ refurbished EFCC too before he left?

Fact is, the days of gross incompetence allowed under GEJ where people steal and don't do their job is gone, people are basically doing their job because there's a new sheriff in town.


You people are not making any sense with your bogus and upside down assertions...

WANKERR, did you read the body of this thread at all?

You seem to have issues comprehending the difference between when someone is out to oppose and when someone is simply curious over a phenomena and needs answers.
My dear, i read it very well...the same thing is happening to the refineries...all of a sudden they sprang back to life!!! It behooves to note that some 'persons' at the helm of affairs are trying what's know as the smoke screen effect in order to prevent real probing..
What's happening now in those two sectors is the idiomatic expression of 'when the CAT is AWAY,the MICE would play and vice versa...
The issue is how far can this feat be sustained? 1year or 2 or till 2019 Unless these persons that have turtured/tormented us are out of their jobs, the real change hasnt happened...that's why i'm ALWAYS courteous of anyone who over celebrates or rejoice over these light issue cos ONLY then would the govt believe that the sector is okay...
So madam, nothing has happened yet..the ONLY diff is that power has changed hand and some persons are afraid of losing their jobs that's all...It's our RIGHT to have light and not PRIVILEDGE...

Simple reason. The gas pipelines are now being protected by security officials which has drastically reduced vandalization, hence the much needed gas is getting to the generating plants

Let's hope Buhari will not order more power wattage to Katsina or Borno state than Lagos or Rivers state, with the excuse that the area of Katsina or Borno state is larger than Lagos or Rivers state.
That's the type of thing Buhari is up to.

Exactly!

I have no personal feud whatsoever against PMB and though I have my reservations about him, I can't just seem to wrap my hands around the logic behind praising him for the improvement in power supply.

How exactly has this government affected power generation? I haven't read of any reports claiming that our power generation has increased.

Someone should put up facts we can actually digest and not just come with the same rhetorics 'change has come', as though the mere announcement of that makes a difference.


Don't mind these Idíots that hate anything GEJ and can't give him his honor.

Something wrong happens - Blame GEJ, Buhari should be given more time.

Something good happens - Sai Buhari. Even when Buhari has no input in that sector. They suddenly forget Buhari is in power for around two months. SMH.

This's the main problem I had with GEJ. He set up the structure and then allowed people to sabotage his government. He was too calm to govern Nigeria. GEJ as president of this country was like a sheep leading wolves and foxes.

We all know who controls the Ikeja and Eko power distribution companies and from what happened, they increased tarrif by 3 folds and then supplied power only 20 - 30 hours per month so that one can be frustrated to vote out GEJ. Immediately Buhari got in, they increased power supply and decreased the tarrif from what used to be 15k per month to 5k per month.

This is a big lesson to all Nigerians, especially those from minority tribes, tow the path of OBJ (which is what I think the present administration wants to do) if you want to rule Nigeria for 8 years and probably with an extension, if you can alter the constitution. This means, you don't give your opposition a breathing space, snuff the lives out of them by using security officials to hunt all of them down, shield your own party members/loyalists from the security officials but hunt the ones who go against your wish, only then can you rule Nigeria effectively even if you achieve little or nothing..
Na now your eyes clear?

GEJ was not just fit as a LG chairman talk less of being a president.

Forget all other appeal to pity/emotions you put up there. He was simply not cut out for leadership hence there was very strong opposition against his choice as VP by Niger Delta then.
A sheep leading wolves that you wanted us to have continue for another eight years.

Very soon "Buhari should be given more time" wouldn't be a valid excuse.

Even Buhari gives credit to GEJ's policies and yet his followers are too blind to see this. Most sectors have experienced a continuation in GEJ's policies.

Its evident there were lots of forces working against GEJ and they did well to sabotage his government. But let's watch and see how they run the affairs of this country for the next four years.

I love saying the truth no matter what. GEJ wasn't cut out for the seat as Nigerian president but nothing takes away the fact that I prefer him over hundreds of Buhari.

Thanks for your time as you inform us on what has changed . . . .

Buhari said it himself he has not done anything to claim credit at the moment. I will also appreciate you guys give him credit for that humility and truthfulness. Instead what I saw here on that topic were more hate and insults.
Having said that, it's not rocket science most of these establishments are just doing the right thing they have always sabotaged Nigerians for just so any probe will not be directed at their side.
Something you guys must know is GEJ himself might not be a very corrupt man but his lackadaisical attitude towards corruption gave a lot of impetus to the forces holding Nigeria down. Once he started all those stealing is not corruption stories plus many others on national TV, and influenced the process that granted pardon to Alams he already set the pace for the evil men in the society.
What I expect any sensible Nigerian to pray is let the president's strength not fail him giving the many hawks that exist in his political party plus the murky waters of Nigerian political atmosphere.
We have suffered too much in the hands of our so called leaders.

Question:

Last 3 years that there was heavy rain fall,resulting in flood along the coastal towns and villages and also upsurge in our rivers and lakes,was there a near-constant power supply as the OP is talking about now?

Thanks for your post. I did appreciate if you extend your crusade to your friends who love attributing every single deed to Buhari. There are loads of threads referencing improved power supply during GEJ era, that alone nullifies most points you raised here.
