Power generation and distribution should be in the concurrent legislative list and not be a monopoly of the federal government which has failed in this regard anyways.

Leave FG or private companies alone to handle power oga ambode the specialist in propaganda. Go and fix lagos roads before trying to form superman to generate power. Person wey nor fit fix ordinary road dey claim generation of power. That's how they'll be sayiing what they cannot do just to deceive people and make them think they are working. OSHISKO!

So, they rejected the proposal of Lagos?

Not this new request. The general quest as embedded in constitutional review.

luluman:
Bros, you want yeebos to be jealous o.

pls are you from lagos state??

sample09:


If Lagos has 24hrs power supply..
People would migrate more into the state.

You're not looking at the 'cost of living' angle. You can't just migrate to areas with throat slashing cost of living, save you're planning on sleeping under a bridge.

Kay17:


The most economical way of distributing power is through a national grid to avoid waste.

Please let them waste the funds if it will provide uninterrupted power supply to the nation after all most of the funds are embezzled

Ever8054:
3,000mw..Lagos transformers,and high tension wires be like...

luluman:
They af come o, hmmm. anti Nigeria.

Be wise. There is so much to gain in decentralisation thru restruction. O e key thing about it is it breeds competition instead of domination. Wishful admuration instead of hatred

Ra88:
If the country was not a fuckedd up country, while would he need the permission of the F/Govt.

I'm also still confused here. Maybe someone should enlighten me berra.

if granted Lagos and Nigeria will be competing, lol fashola take note

I don't know why some illiterates are jumping up and down about this news.
Virtually every state in the ND and some states in the north can power itself of this national grid nonsense is removed.
So I see no reason jubilating here.

Then let people decide for themselves when to benefit( if there's any) from your discoveries & not do everything possible to discourage the sustained unity.

No consultations. Go ahead able governor. Set the pace for others. There is no federal government existing in Nigeria with we have is presidency.

iamdapsyj:


Energy is on the exclusive list, only a bill can change that. Ambode is just following the rules (due process).

Yeah I know and that's what is pissing me off. It shouldn't be so.

The only thing sustaiming the unity as Nigeria is presently constituted is Oil. Anything else you were told is an unsustainable scam. Wont time tell? We shall see

Like I said, don't force us to split.As for the Oil let Nigeria use it as it wants.

Who am i, to force us to split. Guy, we are here talking about what can salalvage the nation and what can bring forth genuine unity, not a forced one. Restructuring thru true federalism is the only way to go if we still want to be same. It should be structured to ensure that domination is never allowed again in this country. If not, be rest assured that tomorrow is pregnant with .....

Tell me any where in this modern world a state government will take permission before they can develop their state only in Nigeria? That is why this good for nothing constitution need to be changed for progress of this country

sample09:

Not necessarily. There might be migrant control measures. With 24hrs electricity, real estate will go up, rents will go up, taxes collection will improves if not increased..., Only those that fits and can sustain themselves in a Mega city will be able to stay. Others will go back to farm.

.

Let me add with 24hours electricity service charge in shopping malls will go down, as the use of generator accounts for a high percentage of the service charge, which will lead to reduce cost of items sold to final consumer, generator prices will see a southward movement, more people would work from their homes, so office rental cost may also go downwards, also food will become more cheaper as homes can preserve their foods longer in fridges, etc....

Let them be believing the propaganda, Nigeria after 57 years of independence could barely generate 4000 megawatts of electricity but Ambode will give Lagos 3000 megawatts in 3-6 years and so called educated youths believe that crap even saying Obasanjo frustrated Tinubu efforts to do the same Like what is stopping Buhari or the next president frustrating Ambodes effort.

pls stop that in USA, there were a lots of obligations written in constitution that must be abide by the states in the union!

Yoruba adage:ojo odun loro d'ole
am very surprise at the opinion of many here, some even said Nigeria can only be better with true federalism! it's all lie!
Eko is better because eko is lucky to have committee of sage ruling eko!
can any one tell me one state of the continuity of government for 20 years!The problems of Nigeria is not the system but the leadership;
All what you see today in lagos is a legacy of Tinubu,
how many state in Nigeria have such a visionary leader?
And how many states can accept what aromisa legbegbe accepted!
During the era of regionalism one region develop than other, it's depend on the leaders at the helm of power!
Bravo Tinubu who continue with the vision of Awo!

opalu:
IN THE SAME NIGERIA SOME GOVERNORS ARE IMPORTING SNAKES, OTHERS ARE DONATING WHEELBARROWS, STILL OTHERS ARE EATING EWEDU ON THE ROAD AND SOME ARE OWING 16 MONTHS SALARIES.
LAGOS, KEBBI GOVERNORS AND FEW OTHERS DON'T IWE SALARIES SO THEIR HEADS ARE FREE TO DEVELOP THEIR STATES How can you sleep well and think well when you are owing the living and the dead?

Don't forget the governor of Anambra state that exported 1 billion dollars worth of imaginary ugwu leaves

Don't mind. You need to see how terrible lagos roads are now. I'm surprised people are just driving and dodging pot holes like they are playing video game and no body seem to be bothered. Everybody just keep quiet like say na normal thing. Why won't the politicians steal money and treat the masses the way they like. Suffering and smiling don master everybody.

maskid:


dont worry urself, lagos is a no mans land

Lol! If it's a no man's land like u said then I guess we should av had a non-Yoruba as governor of the state at least for once. Or at least a non Yoruba person as a commissioner in the state. So stop deceiving yourself! I know u wish it really was, I can imagine ur plight, afterall na who no like better thing.

SalamRushdie:


But that is what the Hausa Fulani led central govt never wants and that's why the have made laws to ensure if anyone generates upto 750Mws you have to feed it to the National grid , a policy which I have never understood

I wonder, not to mention the ban that one can't produce power independently beyond a quota...these laws are to cripple the south that would have sought alternatives...we tell them they won't listen...

Good initiative my amiable Governor.Itesiwaju Eko Lo jyin logun ni to o to.
