mencer:
President Muhammadu Buhari has officially signed ‘Paris Agreement on Climate Change’ at the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York September 22, 2016.

an agreement meant to cut global greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from burning fossil fuels, to limit floods, droughts, more powerful storms and rising ocean level

400billionman:


I too was very ashamed reading that she said this in a foreign country.

They would be laughing silently at her stupidity.

ificatchmodeh:
Buhari's government is that of incompetence and blame..
They don't think out of the box..once is not working according to plan..its finished..next option..blame..

The world is evolving and madam dey here d talk plenty english.

drss:
d dullard cluelessly signed agreement on climate change in france yet forgot dat d con3 need coal power so d dullard tink coal power na clean energy has d dullard eva seen china (coal power user) sign climate change nonsense propaganda buari just sign aways nigeria's developement to please his western sponsors. u sign climate change agreement yet u want to use coal power. cluelessness at its peak. well am not surprised. buary dullard is too backward n incompetent to be a president.


Nb: however dis is a good omen for us bia..frans. coal is our natural resources. we can develop coal power machines from scratch to generate power for biafrans whether western powers like it or not.

porka:
Na wa oh!

These people ehn!

Who is blocking whom now?

Did they not explain to Buhari the consequences of what he was signing last month?

Was he blindfolded?

Did he sign under duress?

GenBuhari:
Something tells me that white man has many agents operating on this forum whose job it is to jump down the throat of anybody that criticises the white man.

TheEastActivist:
Please the world is changing so fast so Mrs finance minister follow the trend...

Science has a standard for everything.
To checkmate global warming and ozone depletion there are many technology that has fade out with time to give room for cleaner fuel to power our infrastructures in order to save the earth ozone layer and checkmate global warming.

Sometimes I ask who is advising the woman she looks young but acts so old in the brain. How can in this century you want to use coal to power your country when there are other better way of doing it using solar and wind even ordinary water too.

This woman won't stop disgracing herself and Nigeria at large. So for your mind Na Westerners they hold you .. smh this woman is a joke as one would say apc has graduated the blame game to a whole new level.

You, my friend, are so ignorant.

Follow this link to see that about 40% of world energy is fuelled by coal including the US:

http://www.tsp-data-portal.org/Breakdown-of-Electricity-Generation-by-Energy-Source#tspQvChart

Even though stronger regulations apply in the US and EU they are still increasing/maintaining capacity while exploring renewables. China is still building at least 2 new coal power plants a week:

http://energydesk.greenpeace.org/2016/07/13/china-keeps-building-coal-plants-despite-new-overcapacity-policy/

The world is also moving towards electric cars, do you have one? Even if you do how many have u seen on Nigerian roads?

Stay there dey follow Kemi wey no know u dey quarrel.

Keep on blaming oyibo instead of D evil leaders we hv always bn afflicted wt. Blame d foolish kings & Chiefs dt workd hand in glove wt d white explorers 2 sell their pple as slaves in xchange 4 mirrors, bottles of rum, hats, walking stick etc wt out asking y d white man wasn't selling his own pple back. Blame d leaders who hvnt still changed their stripes. Blame d leaders who were engaging in coups, counter coups, genocides, ethnic & religious cleansing when d white man was labouring 2 make his own coun3 beta. Blame d leaders who turned & still turn a blind eye 2 d activities of nefarious foreign businessmen as dey rape, pillage, pollute & exploit their economies in return 4 kickbacks & bribes, who allow the white man run amok doing wt he can't do in his own land here. Blame those kleptomanic leaders who rob their nations blind & carry their loot 2 stash in d white man's land wt out questioning demselves y d white doesn't steal 4rm his pple & keep d wealth in his coun3. Blame d leaders wt chronic hamartias of hubris & overblown egos whilst among their own pple bt in d white man's land bcom sniveling, groveling sycophants ready 2 engage in self-abasement & ingratiation even wt out being given d go ahead by their white masters, D leaders who strut d departure lounges of our airports lyk peacocks bt scurry in d arrival lounges of d white man's airport lyk timid rats, ready 2 postrate 2 greet d cleaners dere. Those r d pple 2 blame. D white man is only being smart by taking advantage of D inconsideration & selfishness of our leaders. As my mother says "if u act lyk monkey, no vex when pple start dey throw u banana". Wld u blame Jacob in d bible 4 collecting Esau's birthright? No, blame Esau who was so foolish dt he wld sell his entire birthright 4 a mess of pottage. Dts wt our leaders continuously do. Dey sell our entire birthrights 4 messes of pottage.

Keep up your stvpidity and you and your family will soon receive a letter of citizenship revocation and deported back to your shiithole country for no reason. You think you are smart. Ungrateful twerp!

TheEastActivist:


Only if you can do away with your poor mannerism that always sells you off to people as a destined tout.



Technology is changing, you can't denied this fact except you are an alien and just crashed into the earth this year.



67% sire.



You haven't made any sense



I will overlook your grammar. But if they say is green why asking if is green again?
They have to build as power generated can also serve as export commodity .



They have their reason best known to them, but from what I can dig out, they want to first match up with the American in economy and to do that they have to rely on coal for 15years. Nigeria just signed a treaty in paris which is against Nigeria using it and kemi is aware of it else she is not news savy. Meanwhile Nigeria is under developed and is not in this present administration agenda to match up with US in economy.



Who should we believe, which investigation have you undergone to make that kind of accusation. I don't care though.



What stops us from going nuclear
There is gas powered plant, and there are hydro power plant, there are also wind powered plant. We can leverage on that too instead of coal which is too backward and has adverse effect.



Like I said technology changes which made the world to adapt and change as well, and going by your stance if we should keep using coal by now the world will be messed up but with new and better technologies the world will always be a better place to be. Stick playing by the rules to avoid unnecessary sanctions by the international standard bodies.

Coal is cheap and efficient for the cost. Most modern smoke stacks only allow CO2 and water vapor out with trace elements of other pollutants. China does it and lots of nations still run most of their energy on it. When country get richer they can opt more for alternative energies that less efficient per kilowatt.

Besides these alternative energies aren't always producing. Sun not always shining, clowds and batter storage capacity. Hydro great but alot energy has to be kicked back to Niger and Benin republic so they don't block dams. Wind not always blowing.

Coal and Gas would be best options for us. Others renewables can be used aswell. I'm energy adnostic so I don't care too much.

Build a coal power in Enugu again so that Lagos and Ogun will have power while people living near the plant will develop respiratory illness and TB?

Blaming the western world? hahaha. The western world wants a progressive naijeriaa to ensure more business for shell, mobil and co.
Only an incorrigible first class idiott would blame the western world for this. The same western world buhari and his clowns go on regular touring.
Even North korea, Iran and Zimbabwe, bonafide enemies of the west, cannot blame the western world for their energy crisis.

GenBuhari:
The white man miseducated you.

Guess who wrote the history books that told you are great and noble ancestors were so dumb they exchanged their people for mirrors and alcohol? Yes the white man wrote the history you have blindly accepted.

The white man is virtually 100% to blame for all our problems in Africa.

gemale:


I cannot allow blind sentiments or a false sense of loyalty becloud my reasoning. So u tnk d white man came en masse & enslaved Africans entirely on their own wt out African leaders assisting dem? Africa in those days was nicknamed d graveyard of D white man. Our climate was too harsh 4 d average white man & cld inflict sunstroke on a white man. D white man's immune system was too weak 2 withstand diseases lyk malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever etc dt an average African was used 2. D vegetations (especially d rainforest & mangrove swamps) were very difficult 4 Dem 2 penetrate so d few whites dt were present were mostly located in d coastal areas. African leaders were d 1s who sent native slavers 2 capture pple in d hinterlands & bring dem 2 D coast where dey were exchanged 4 things lyk guns, gunpowder, rum, clothing, mirrors etc. We wld neva progress until we recognize dt while d white man has a hand in our previous problems, we r d current architects of of our present misfortunes. Is Africa d only place d white man colonized? No. They colonized d Americas, parts of Asia, Australia & yet hw many places r as bad as Africa? Do u know dt majority of Australians r descendants of hardened criminals banished 4rm Britain on d pain of death shld dey dey return? If d descendants of criminals cld make their coun3s work fyn, wt valid excuse do we hv 2 nt dev our continent? As 4 accusing d white man of distorting history, ur hatred or dislike 4 him shldnt make u deny his ingenuity & represent facts wt a certain degree of candor (albeit imperfectly). Men lyk jaja of opobo, D itshekiri merchant prince Nana etc were all involved in slave trade. Jaja himself was a slave captured 4rm present day imo state bt instead of being sold 2 D white man was bought & made a member of D great pepple trading house. Even when William Wilberforce was able 2 spearhead d abolition of slave trade in British colonies, dey didn't wnt 2 stop. Dey kept on dealing in slaves wt d Americans, Portuguese etc until d British had 2 send ships 2 patrol d Atlantic Ocean in search of offenders. Our very own Samuel ajayi Crowther was 1 of d pple saved by ds move. If d white man distorted history, y didn't he absolve himself of all d blame of d slavery, colonization, exploitation & discrimination we find chronicled in history or beta still erase it?

I don't know why God hates us so much to have allowed devils and demons to rule Nigeria. The youth are also ass holes since they don't want challenge these devils and put a stop to their unrepentant raping of our economy. People revolted in Egypt and their prime minister Mubarak was sent out, it happened in Morocco and many Arab countries known then as Arab spring. But Nigerian youths are just pussies
