My dear.. here is our problem: we cant challenge our leaders...we cant protest, we cant force them to take actions, we cant compel them to pass a particular .. we cant protest until we have 18 hours power supply etc

do u know why?

It is because we are ethnically different! We cant have unity of purpose here.. An average Nigerian is so scared that he is ready to die before his death..

My sister, sentiment aside, states/regions need to run their own affairs and control their own resources.. my dear, when hunger hit many states by then, most of them will get sense to make best out of what they av in their state..

some states can survive on medical tourism, education tourism, historical tourism, sport tourism etc.. this can only happen when the citizens protest, disturb, pull their various state govt..

We cant do that now at our various states because the central govt runs the affair of this country.. Power needs to leave the central govt..

My dear sister, if we dont do this, we would remain like this even in the next 50 years.. only the political class will keep enjoying the current system. If we can have 10 Nnamdi Kanu, (aside his abusive words) , if we can have his type fearlessly engage the ruling class and we get to allow full control of all resources at state/regional level, this country would be delivered from the ruling class..


You're definitely right and unarguably correct!

Nigerians, let us use Nnamdi Kalu, as an inspiration to become more engaged citizens and ask for better leadership.
We criticize our leaders, but we have not been exemplary citizens or followers.
We need to make our leaders know that we'll hold them to account.
While we are tearing our house down, the rest of Africa is moving on.
Take Rwanda for example: You'll think you were in Switzerland once you arrive in Kigali.
Rwanda had a recent war! Rwanda is landlocked and is not richer than Nigeria.
Rwanda is the cleanest state in all of Africa (take a look at the video below).
The savvy African traveller knows that Kigali is far better than Abuja or Lagos.

The Southeast may be landlocked like Rwanda, and like Rwanda has alsovhad a genocide but look at what Rwanda has become.
Can the Southeast meet the challenge? We hear that the southeast is roaring to emerge as the answer to the black man's prayer and is ready to compete. If you want to compete, look no further than Rwanda! Rwanda has set the bar high, lets see what Southeast can do.
No be for mouth ooo!

Seeing power generation and distribution is a long-term project, Ben Bruce should tell us why PDP failed to give us 24 hours light after 16 years rule .

where is fasholA

What concerns Fashola? I hate how the legislators, especially this Bruce, always try to exonerate themselves from blames.

Who reduced the budgetery allocation for Mambilla Hydropower project? Was it not the legislature (Bruce is a part of that arm) that did so? To have stable power supply, the legislature must show more seriousness than even the executive because the executive can only implement an approved budget. If the legislature continue to tamper with allocation meant for improved electricity, Fashola will continue to work in vain.

You people are ignorant and irresponsible. You think Fashola is a magician who can turn the rotten power ministry around on limited funds? What did the legislature (including Bruce) do to the proposed Mambilla Hydropower project? They reduced the allocation. They prefer street lights to improved power supply and instead of you all to support Fashola against these bastard legislooters who do not care one bit about you (lazing around in the senate and spending your money on university girls), you are blaming Fashola who is actually doing all he can to help.

Senator Ben Murray Bruce,has been making a lot of sensible remarks and revealing a lot of interesting ideas. But I think its high time he started taking revolutionary and transformative actions.
Re: We Talk About Jollof Rice, Rwanda Gets 24 Hours Power Supply - Senator Ben-bruce by Bobnotrouble: 11:55am On Jul 10, 2017
Just the way he and his colleagues in the Senate worried about Custom boss not wearing uniform and Magu so called lack-of-integrity saga, thereby relegating the National burning issues to the background and seeing them has a passing-fly.
If not hypocrisy, why not practice what he preaches!

If Biafra was an independent state, it would have been an example for Africa, this Rwanda you see takes STEM and research seriously, they invested so much in waste processing uses bio fuel to create mini power station that generate electricity.
You can attest to the highly powered scientific team during the time of Biafra.
I am not happy I tell you, we ought to be competing with the rest of word in Science and technology, but we are more concerned with who wins Jollof rice with Ghana.
Ghana no be our mates in Research and Science, they have so many opportunities for people into those fields, even Gambia too.
Let me stop here, I am just annoyed.

The SE lacks a critical factor that Rwanda has. LEADERSHIP. Without leadership, there is no direction.There is no clear cut leader among the Igbos. We should first hold our governors accountable before blaming the President.

Tell me the clear cut leadership in other regions, in the old we had Michael Okpara and Sam Mbakwe, nigeria is a nut case, from top down, the system has made it possible not to have any ideology and developmental plans to follow. Stop looking for SE to blame, every other region is fumbling, even Lagos with all the IGR is fumbling too, if u compare what is happening there and money it generates.
Calm down abeg.

look I don't know what you are talking about .. I have gone to the poorest village in a few African countries and I was shock...a village that has nothing, just dependent on their farms and fishery but they have light better than some cities in Lagos.. my village, which is not a village cause it is developed is struggling to have light since 7years.. Nigeria is failed state when it comes to providing lights to peoples home.

An example is Benin Republic. Cotonou and Porto Novo get about 20 hours of light daily but villages like Parakou and Savalou would be lucky to see 3 hours of power in a Day.

Another is Ghana. Accra, Tarkoradi, Cape Coast, Tarkwa, Kumasi and a few places like Suyani, Dunkwa and co which aren't as developed as the others don't get that much power supply daily.

Basically, what I am suggesting is a prioritization plan since we lack the capacity to provide power uniformly to all parts of the country.

Social media senator!


He has made more subject matters on social media than the National Assembly where it applies to the most.

I wonder if the debate has in anyway hindered him and his colleague from executing there functional duties.


Always making sense "ONLY" on social media like his scared of confronting those that needs to be spoken to.

Donald Trump the 2nd!
It is either you are so uninformed or you are intentionally stupid. If you follow proceedings in the Senate, you should know that Ben and Dino are the two most outspoken senators in that floor.
Secondly, even if he doesn't speak at the floor of the Senate, did he not make valid point. Shouldn't we be having 24/7 electricity in Nigeria in this generation. This is the 21st century, and instead of the country to be moving forward, we are going backwards. Worst than we were in 1960.
You people should stop supporting evil. A father, whose children are homeless and hungry , even though he earn large sums of money, is Evil.
Stop supporting Evil.

I don't understand. Is Bruce not in a better position to make this country better for everyone. Must he become the president for him to galvanize vote from his fellow looters to make laws that will affect the average Nigerian positively. Enough of playing to the gallery. Do want you can to effect lives in the position you found yourself.
He is not.
He is only a senator and not The Senate. He only have 1 voice and 1 vote in the Senate of over a hundred senators. The Senate decisions are made by "majority carries the vote", and every senator has his political, ethno-religious, social, financial, caucus, etc. interests .
