sorry case of a boy. Even the grammar sef makes it all d more sorry.

sincerenigerian:
Very good response from Tinubu. I am not a fan of Tinubu but Jonathan has gone too far to be sending soldiers to harass political opponents.

Who is GEJ to send soldiers to Tinubu's house? I can bet that those soldiers were sent by somebody else. You think soldiers respect GEJ?

Dis guy's a joker. He doesnt know what he"s talking about.

Nigerians, as Fela said, are suffering and smiling. This is the continuity you want abi?

owobokiri:
Go and sleep this frustrated partisan hack! It is obituary time not another APC campaign thread. .

Partisan? I think its you who has allowed partisan politricks becloud your reasoning.

The guy is just stating the obvious and you wouldnt want to say the truth. Sad.

publisher:
That is never going to happen. Lagos state will never allow us know how much Tinubu is siphoning from the state treasury.

Which Tinubu is siphoning from state treasury? Why was d there a fight between Fasola and Tinubu? So you would compare the siphoning being done around GEJ to that you're alleging being done by Tinubu, e nor fit compare o.

All the Nebo-chadnezzars would find their place in the wilderness very soon.

Honestly its high time every Nigerian (sane thinking please) should rise up and vote these bunch of rogues out of power. That election must hold o.

Smellos all a dem.

Miinister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, says it is impossible to provide constant, uninterrupted electricity to everyone in Nigeria in the near future.

Speaking with newsmen in London over the weekend, the minister said: “Nobody in the world can provide 24/7 electricity everywhere in Nigeria”, adding that 160,000 megawatts would be needed to do that. The current capacity is 4,500 megawatts.
“The cost of providing electricity per megawatt on average is $2billion. To get to where South Africa is, you will need about $3.2trillion (about N672trillion). Where will you find that kind of money?” he asked.

In addition to the huge amount of money involved, Prof. Nebo said power projects also take time to come to fruition, stressing that it takes between four and six years to deliver the power projects.
“You don’t buy these things off the shelves. It takes time to design, study, procure, manufacture, install and commission”, he said, but explained that the government had done so much on generation capacity, transmission and distribution infrastructure, which are key necessities in power supply.

He said 20,000 megawatts was needed to ensure constant power supply to major cities in the country that have been connected to the national grid, but said it would require a lot of resources and time to achieve the feat.

The minister further said the current facilities and infrastructure on the ground had the capacity to provide more than 5,000 megawatts in the country, but lamented that some saboteurs were bent on ensuring that the target is not achieved by vandalising gas pipelines on a regular basis.

He emphasised that the demand for electricity in Nigeria is so huge that “no matter what you do, once electricity gets to a place, people acquire more facilities, buy refrigerators and air-conditioners, and before you know it, what you think is enough for everyone has to be shared by so many people”.

He also said solar power could go a long way in solving Nigeria’s power problems, especially in the rural areas, disclosing that three communities, including Durumi in the suburbs of Abuja, have enjoyed 13 months of uninterrupted electricity since the start of the pilot scheme in December 2013.

I cant imagine this after all the trillion of dollars spent on power by the 16yrs reign of PDP in Nigeria

Lyk seriously? I do not need to read the whole story before commenting. What happened when Barth Nnaji was there that power was stable? Na from heaven that one come dat time? It was people like this current Minister of Power, or his sponsors that Barth had to leave that position for. God in His infinite mercy and might would dislodge all of you from those positions - even up to your head under whose watch corruption is as normal as the respiratory process.

Don't abuse atheists...



Most guys don't know women have higher libido than men..

GodMode, I abuse atheists so?

If you think this babe cooked this up, then you must be a certified atheist. I once saw a guy do this and o, how repulsed was I? Seems its a case of madness as far as I'm concerned.

Whistleblowers in the defence industry are raising the alarm over a massive fraud of $466.5 million about to be executed at the Nigeria Air Force (NAF) with some arms dealers, using the United States’ refusal to grant export permit for military hardware to Nigeria as pretext.

A letter to the government aroused the suspicion. An arms procurement company wrote that in view of the refusal of the US to give export licence to Nigeria, it had reached an agreement with NAF to substitute the initial order for Cobra AH-IV with alternate attack platform which it claimed, has greater fire power.

The letter detailed the alternate equipment to include six upgraded armed Puma Helicopters with the equivalent attack capabilities of the Cobra; four SU-25KM upgraded ground support/ attack aircraft;2 EU 25 UB for the purpose of qualifying and training NAF pilots for specific mission.

To power the pitch further, it offer additional incentive by proposing to build a suitable purpose built storage and hanger for the Puma and SU25 helicopters to accommodate the ground support requirements.

Same day, the company initiated a second correspondence with the NAF from its representative office at 1c Barnes High Street, London SW 13 9LB, United Kingdom titled “ Additional Critical Armament Requirement for NAF”. The company put the cummulative charges for the various equipment, including shipping at $466.5million.

Whistleblowers were shocked that in a government parastatal known for slow moving mails and deliberations, the NAF recommended the pitch by the military hardware supply company to the higher echelon of government within 16 days of submitting the proposal.

In its recommendation, NAF wrote: “The NAF hereby confirms the letters from the firm (name withheld) regarding platform amendment and additional armament requirement for the NAF. This arrangement became necessary because the United States of America failed to endorse the sale of Cobra AH-IV attack helicopter to Nigeria.

Accordingly, NAF has agreed that the said firm (name withheld) replace the Cobra helicopter with six upgraded armed Puma helicopters, four upgraded SU-25KM and two upgraded SU-25UB attack aircraft”.

The NAF stated that the technical specifications and scopes of work for the aircraft types, required upgrade, training and support package as well as the additional armament requirements have been signed by both parties.

Stridently painting the urgent need for the supply, the NAF urged the approving authority to consent to the request immediately to address current national security challenges as the equipment were needed in the short term.

Curiously, the NAF letter admitted that the equipment being procured was not the appropriate hardware to meet the needs. It noted that the acquisition of new Mangusta 129-Attack Helicopters were actually needed to enhance the Force’s operational capabilities.

The contents of the correspondence soon became known to insiders in the Defence industry and led to serious petitions against the transaction on the grounds that it would amount to massive fraud if executed and that the NAF was guilty of negligence as it did not carry out the mandatory due diligence before endorsing the deal.

According to a petition by a military hardware supplier, “ the total cost of $345.05million, including freight in the attached invoice…does not differentiate between the Puma and SU-25. The unit cost for the SU-25 is mentioned as $11million for a new jet on the internet. While the offered SU-25 are not new, the Puma helicopters are heavily overloaded in price of at least $45 million each”.

Wondering why the NAF would prefer overloaded cost, the company said it quoted $25 million for the helicopter adding that the $39.45 million offered by the preferred firm for armament to NAF, far exceeded its quotation of $13million.

Its conclusion: “This proposed deal being supported by the approving authority is heavily overloaded and considering the probable age of the equipment, is not a fair deal for Nigeria at all”. It added that the proposed training for the pilots and the building of a new hanger are out of place since the pilots are adequately trained and there exisits a subsisting hanger.

Defence industry sources believe that the transaction is a smokescreen for massive fraud as the proposed equipment are no longer being produced and those being refurbished for supply under this transaction cannot deliver on their functions.

Efforts to obtain the reaction of the NAF at the time of going to press were not fruitful as the official lines of the media department were switched off.

Many sturvs like these abound in this administration. I really laugh when people say this administration should continue. The airport reconstructions alone, check out the scam involved. Heavy. Continue supporting GEJ's reelection o. But I pray God helps this country.

Jonathan gave the nation. Now votes are beginning to count!

To INEC, why not take this further and have official cctv of every polling centre. The technology is cheap and affordable.

Bros you're in Nigeria, this wont work.

folahann:
One major problem of Nigeria is corruption and I believe If we can curb corruption, 70% of our problems will be solved.
Here is a president who doesn't want to fight this problem. As a matter of fact he encourages it. There's a General who believes anybody who steals Nigeria money should be in jail. He himself has the opportunity to 23M monthly as former head of state but he declined and earn only 2.3M

You're so on point.

NO BODY IS CRITICIZING THE NEWSPAPERS FOR SUCH CAMPAIGN.

BUT WHEN PDP DID THEIRS,WE STARTED STONING PUNCH AND AIT

What did PDP do? Was it issue based?

Uncletony:
She is d petroluem minister & not one of the directors of NNPC!::: u slowpoke!!

Afi 'petroluem' minister nor! U na fastpoke shey? I didnt know NNPC was under the purview of Minister of Agric not Petroleum.

Uncletony, talk like an uncle, ok?

Ttalk:
NNPC is indicted, Oya, Madam Deziani come and explain the whereabout of the money

She should come and explain? E be like say you nor dey dis country. Senate called her, she called their bluff, na nairalander she go answer? Abeg she and her senior brother GEJ should 'come and be going'. It have do.

DaGC:
Most of the above posters don't even know when planning and work began on the refinery.

Exactly, it began during GEJ's time. 'I will do better when I come for 2nd term'... Please!

PapiWata:
Simply put, current Lagos State Governor Raji Fashola SAN is by a very wide margin the most proficient, compassionate, industrious, articulate and innovative political leader EVER to have assumed office in Nigeria since the nation's independence in 1960.

By choosing an uncouth, knuckle-dragging Neanderthal savage called Boko Hari to represent the pinnacle of their political ambitions, Nigeria's opposition party have taken a gigantic leap of misplaced faith akin to bailing out the door of an airplane at 5 thousand feet altitude, while hoping to slow down their descent for a soft landing, utilizing only a brown-stained strip of toilet-paper clenched between their collective butt-cheeks.

What's the meaning of uncouth? You just heard the word shey?

Must read Brethren,
This is a desperate and urgent call from the throne of Grace that the brethren in Christ are about to make the greatest error of their lives by selling off their kingly heritage for a mess of pottage called "change". Change into what? Change into what happened to Egypt , Sudan, Lybia, Algeria and Turkey which were once flourishing Christian countries but because the brethren there also sold their souls on the premise of "it does not matter" they became the last set of Christians in those countries! Remember Turkey! It was the beautiful Christian country called Constantinople! Today it is history! The foundation of the planned islamisation of Nigeria was taken in 1989 in Abuja by OIC. Since then they have not looked back! Our Government gave them a contribution of 21 billion dollars then! Wonder then where the funding of boko Haram is coming from? They have painfully now infiltrated one of the biggest denominations in Nigeria and offered one of their best Pastors -a Professor,a Vice presidential Slot! Now a larger community of that denomination now promotes this "change"! They did it in Constantinople ! Remember brethren, that's the biggest denomination of Christians in the North - the EYN has been wiped off! All their churches burnt. You may say that it is the North it can't get here! They said the same thing in Sudan, Libya, Algeria and Constantinople! How come the brethren have become so dulled in the Spirit that they no longer are sensitive?
We may be the last Christians in Nigeria if this great error the brethren is about to commit is not averted! Our Lord Jesus is greatly miffed by our irresponsibility as His Followers! How come we no longer hear Him! The Great shepherd of the Sheep! How come that Christians have forgotten that this country was made ungovernable by these same people and Christians are holding the wrong person responsible? How come? The signs of the eventual Islamization of Nigeria are awash in the 1999 constitution where Islam, Sharia are mentioned more than 100 times.! Not a single mention of Christ or Christianity! You say it does not matter. Now, mark it you cannot amend the constitution without a bitter progrom!
Brethren, the night is here! We must contend for the faith and our heritage which was handed once and for all to us by our maker

Bros, this your religion-based dimension to this issue is as slanted as the deck of the titanic. Kindly pull over, let change happen. So change to you means that with guns and RPGs? No my friend, with our votes, and our votes alone, Naija will experience the positive change it deserves.

duni04:
I agree that GEJ hasn't fought corruption but Buhari is also surrounded by equally corrupt people. Atiku was investigated by the FBI for bribing a US congressman. Bukola Saraki only jumped ship from the PDP to the APC when the EFCC opened his file and invited him for questioning on how he looted Kwars state. Now he's one of the national leaders of the APC. Bola Tinubus assets were seized for drug smuggling in the US in the 90's. These are the characters and personalities accusing Jonathan of aiding corruption. In this same Nigeria! What a joke!

Thanks for the issue based response, Nigeria needs more of peeps like you, not all those busy hurling insults around.
I agree with you totally. If there can be thieves in church, there would be thieves anywhere. But let's ask ourselves, who between Jonathan and Buhari can actually deal with corrupt individuals? I would still reiterate and I can bet it that Jonathan doesnt have the clout to take really corrupt people up on their actions. If many of us hear what's going on in Abuja, jaws would drop. Corruption cannot stop, but we need a drastic reduction which GEJ cannot and wouldnot give.

You see, we actually made a mistake when some years ago, Jonathan ran away from debate yet we went ahead to vote for him. Now not debating is bad, shey. Sorry story.

Abegi!!!!! Pst Adeboye is wiser than this way you are portraying him. Go think of better lies to cook.

When I hear or see people call Buhari illiterate, I laugh. If you listen to him analyse issues both past and present from questions thrown at him, you would know this man is anything but illiterate or gullible. My grouse with this present administration is the impunity, the humongous level of impunity, all those around the President have with respect to corruption. Asari Dokubo has become a don in Abuja, the reason he would not want GEJ to leave, and he is ready to kill to actualise that, God would surprise him.
Believe me, corruption has attained new heights in this administration and I am telling you that GEJ can do NOTHING about it. Na GEJ wan follow Dokubo talk? What power can GEJ pull? none. That's the reason we need a change.
Nigeria needs to be better abeg, we've had enough. Its not a matter of this man is from my place or not from my place.
People claim Jonathan cannot do so much in so little time. Lemme ask, in 2012 when Barth Nnaji was Minister of Power, electricity improved tremendously. Then suddenly he resigned, and what is the story today. May I ask, why did Prof Barth Nnaji resign?
This administration reeks of corruption, and the president can do nothing about it. C'est fini

The only way to know that one was educated to at least the School Certificate level is by one showing one's Secondary School Leaving Certificate - or certified copy, if the original secondary school certificate got lost.


The known equivalents of Secondary School Certificate are GCE, old City and Guilds, etc.

Professional Certificates like the ones obtained after military training courses in Nigeria Defense Academy, US War College, Sandhurst Military school, etc., are not equivalent to Secondary School Certificate.

Of course, if one did not first obtain Secondary School Leaving Certificate, but somehow proceeded to the military training institutions, and obtains the professional certificates, the professional certificates obtained from the military courses remain irrelevant in law.

Which law? What is your level when topics about law are concerned.

Niwdog:
Buhari na confirm criminal

He carried out his atrocities with your father shey?

Praktikals:
Will they bury you with your folly?

As in. Come collect award.

Uricas:
15k keh... That's too small nah

too small? Ha, probably because you've seen 90k. Those thinking about 90k make me laff.

Imanuelle:
Lol

Buhari won't even be able to remember the stats he's supposed to arm himself with, for the debate.


Those guys that work with channels will make him worse than obafaiye Shem.

Obviously, buhari doesn't have a mind of his own, people will continue to dictate for him, even if he wins. Talking about the APC cabal.

A General doesnt have a mind of his own? Like seriously? Peeps like you amaze me.

Hello,

I want to go for the CCNA exams, where best should I write it and is there any experience required before writing. Cos I havent any hand on experience but I think I should be able to write.

SeverusSnape:
Who compiled this list?.... Oh!.**in buhari's voice** It is Fremium timfes**

No wonder APC governors are at the top, I don't see why Sullivan chime should be 9th.

Where is my AYO FAYOSE

**runs out of thread**

Your Ayo Fayose? You're a sorry case.

hansad:
If Lagos cannot ask: "Gen. Buhari, why did you cancel our Jakande Metro Transport System?", that means Lagos must be under Born-To-Rule Colonial masters.

Lagos was robbed of the country's capital with flimsy excuses by the Buhari clique.

As humans we resist change, its natural, but it would always happen and now is the time for Nigeria's. So live with it.
