This is not surprising, given that the transmission network (PHCN) wasn't privatized, nor were the discos and gencos given the freedom to charge market rates. There is no difference between the "privatization" that happened with power and what is going on in the petroleum sector right now - the government still tries to call all the shots, and then turns around and acts surprised when private operators refuse to step in and throw their money away on loss-making activities.

Are dis ppl madt Did dey mention mention fuel has been crippling d nation for the past 2weeks Dis scarcity has been here for more than 2months for heavens sake...

Oga if ur excuse for ur own failure is someone else's supposed failure, den u are simply an idiotic failure.. Yes there was a crippling scarcity especially in the last month's of the last administration but atleast there was a clear reason being dat marketers were being owed their subsidy claims... Atleast a sensible govt would have been proactive enof to have learnt lessons from dat experience and have a clear cut solution at hand whether temporal or permanent.. Kip making excuses for ur mediocrity and watch urself wallow deeper into d abyss of foolishness.

qualityalone:



for ur info as of 25 may 2015. GEJ had conceeded defeat thus was parking to leave Aso villa, no longer interested in fuel matter. And that was the only time we had fuel issue 2ru out his govt. So check urself well to c if u have "shallow forgetful mind"

There are critical national infrastructures you can not privatize, I am not convinced refineries are one of them though, but if you understand how this country works, a JV is far better than privatization for the refineries.
Privatization is a lazy man's idea of solving problems.

"A lazy man's idea of solving problems"? Right, so we should have kept good old NITEL in business and refused to allow all those nasty private telephone operators into the country ... By all means, keep substituting empty sloganeering for critical thinking, and see how far that gets you.

How one can keep worshipping government, despite living in a country whose government has failed at everything it touches, is beyond me.

Both of us are not on the same IQ score, so, that which may be ambiguous to you may as well be as lucid as ever for me, to know if you qualify for further response, can you tell me the clear difference between a fully privatized entity and that which operates a JV agreement?

omohayek:


That you suppose you know my IQ score says everything there is to say about your limited intelligence. Since you're so smart, why don't you tell us all what Arrow-Debreu's general equilibrium theory, the socialist calculation debate and public-choice theory all tell us about the efficiency of private vs. public enterprise?

Your pathetic resort to insults to "justify" your (frankly illiterate) opinions illustrates everything that's wrong with Nairaland. Every houseboy and motor-park tout with a little poorly-digested half-learning can fancy himself an intellectual while spouting nonsense.

jpphilips:


Block head, answer the question to qualify for any discussion.
After several days, you couldn't even get the answer to that simple question, yet you open your mouth to criticize the government.
No more free classes.
