Godswillnwaoma: Well when you are still answering your slave masters name since 1960 then of course you are a big joke. When you have men like OBJ and Buhari ruling when their mets are at senior living, then you are a joke. When Adeboye, TB Joshua, and co are having private jets and people are happy to follow follow, then you are a joke. When you are still tying bedsheets in Kano, get stampeded or deported from the A-RAB ZONE, and still think you are part of them, then you are a joke. When you are doing all you can to uphold the zoo created by the English to enrich their children's children, which it has done, instead of separating into natural boundaries that proved in the 1960s to have worked--duuh- then you are a joke. So, don't cry about steady power because that was never and will never be part of the arrangement because your "country" is designed to be exploited, looted, raped, and nothing more. 4 Likes |

bilulu: Actually the current problems APC met are the same PDP left. Power was at 5000 MW because of the rains in 2014. Once the rains went ...by dec 2014...power was back down to 3000MW. The same vandalisation of power lines happened...and some PDP supporters from the South were blaming the Nawth. That is why GEJ signed on the OPC and the Militants to protect the pipelines. Not a good idea (foxes guarding the chicken house comes to mind...and the stealing still kept on going)...but that does not mean the reasoning was bad. But even at 5000MW....that means that on average 10-12 hours of power supply for the Nigerians connected to the national grid (which even then is not possible with the bad transmission system). So...not much of an improvement. The real improvement is getting up to 13000MW....and then 20000MW. Enough to guarantee 24 hours supply to everyone connected to the grid right now.(assuming no more political patronage connections) 2 Likes |

Quakertellicus1: Story story. The same nonsense written here in 2001 with OBJ, then again with Yar Adua, with GEJ, and now in 2016 more analysis that is nothing more than B.S. Nigeria means dark or "Ni..gga" area, designed to enrich the children of England. No amount of noise or essay will take "us" to the promise land under the current setup/boundary. |

dulux07: Power appeared to improve. In reality....power improved in some parts,and remained bad in others. That is because the transmission system is awful. And even at 5000MW...Nigeria is not generating enough for its needs. We need four times that to at least JUST meet our electric power needs with some extra. I think the govt is relying too much on past efforts. They ought to start working. At least PMB has promised an extra 2000MW by the end of this year and he is talking up Solar and Nuclear power (He is in the US for a nuclear summit). Let's be frank...5000MW is nothing to boast about. SA does 40000MW....with 15000 of that from nuclear power. 1 Like |

WhoRUDeceiving: I guess what I am trying to say (if you read me correctly....and took off your ''He hates GEJ '' blinders) is that Nigeria needs far more than just 5000MW. And also at the same time, we need to improve our messed up transmisison system. And all this is going to take time. Especially fixing the transmission system (One of the DISCO investors was so shocked at the state of it , and even wondered how we had kept an obsolete system working for so long. NEPA engineers must be the best,no?)....and improving generation. And of curse ending corruption (OBJ's attempts to improve power via NIPP were marred by corruption....and the bad thing is that no one has been punished for it. I know of an NIPP project that exists on signpost). In short....Nigeria needs 20000MW. (Someone whom I was discussing with on another thread said 160000MW). So...when APC gents or PDPpeople talk about 5000MW...I just laugh. And Nigeria is backward because we want free money without working for it. Even if webreak up...the mentality would remain. 5 Likes |

One thing we could look into to generate power is to use waste products/refuse. That idea was briefly explored when OBJ was in power....a Spanish company even came in with a proposal...but nothing happened. At the same time...we could go solar. Maybe a joint venture with Niger Republic to build a vast solar farm in the Sahara....which could provide light for lots of people. Geothermal is another good idea. 1 Like |

Quakertellicus1: That is something different for a change no? You'll agree the best leaders we had were those regional leaders in the 1960s, from Premier down to state assembly? Lets not just do a " even if..." because that "even if" is better than the place created by England to exploit for their children benefit |
Re: No Light, No Fuel: When Will This Suffering End? (photo) by Nobody: 6:20am On Mar 31, 2016 |
WhoRUDeceiving: There was corruption back then. I recall an elederly Northerner commenting that even back then there was some corrupt behaviour, and if you read Nzeoqgwu's speech from 1966...he refers to ten per-centers (the government official who won't sign approval for a contract without taking his ten percent. Things don't change ). I think that Nigeria's problem is that we inherited an economic system where we sold raw materials and shared the cash. That is not sustainable because prices of most of the raw materials we sell are not controlled by us...and because it entrenches corruption...the more closer you are to the sharing..the better it is for you and so on.(That is where religion and tribe come in) And it means that education and innovation suffers...we do not really need education because we are not using it to make and innovate and create...we just use our raw materials cash to buy what we need.(And that stifles industrial production...and by extension makes jobs scarce). Finally, when prices crash...as we are seeing now for the second time with oil...the tendency is to take loans to keep on doing what we are doing...making things worse. Of course...it takes a long time for prices to rise again....so we get into more debt. That is why I think that Nigerians have to develop a society where we use our education to innovate solutions for our problems. Why can't we make trucks suited for Nigerian roads for example? And so on. Start from there...and we would get somewhere.(Split up or do regionalism now...and we would get lots of mini Nigerias....raw material dependent, and weak like the big mother nation). 3 Likes 1 Share |

Quakertellicus1: You can't be serious about quoting Nzeogwu. That's like me quoting Abacha, or even Buhari himself then and now. Even in the days of Rome, or in the bible, or now in FIFA, there is and will always be corruption. The root of it is the control of resources, human or material, and for some folks somewhere to put together a place and coin it a name, you can't really expect those same people to not be involved in the overall progress of what they created, especially if its lucrative. The term "mini Nigeria" is null and void because for example, a Republic of Niger-Delta/Biafra won't have Islamic considerations or culture influencing their political/economic setup, nor would Oduduwa have to consider developing Zamfara or Calabar or giving in to things not consistent with their way of life. Yes, it's simplified, but I know deep down inside you feel me. You don't have to admit it though |

dulux07: As at then there was not ministers, no project initiated to build power plants to improve power generation. Power output just increased. We didn't ask how, but all rejoiced and attributed it to body language. We just expect miracles without instituting processes and procedures to achieve our goal. Now we blame it on vandals. These vandals were sleeping during the last administration, right? When in 2012, Jonathan wanted to remove subsidy because of the massive corruption involved, many Nigerians, both ignorant and sincere, those rented and those doing it by choice, carried placards in demonstrations and protest. Cos GEJ is not strong willed, he gave in. Now, the same people who instigated the protest against removal or fuel subsidy are now trying to stop the subsidy and they expect everyone to cooperate, right? I am not in support of GEJ. He was weak and permissive. But I hate hypocrisy! The way it is, it seems Jonathan understood the Nigerian system better than Buhari, when he said u fight corruption by keeping the yam where the goat can't reach, not by chasing the goat away from yam. 1 Like |
