Clueless idiots

juman:

Probably the news is false. Have they run out of ideas?

grafikii: Pls make sure the TV is 3D. Nonsense people

thegoodjoehunt:


I would have laughed but the country is in ENERGY SAVING MODE.

Beaf: I can't even remember when I last saw an ordinary bulb at home, it must be at least 10 years or so now.
I change light bulbs only a couple of times a year in different parts of the house, yet the bulbs hardly use any energy.

The problem is, not everyone knows about such bulbs, has access to them or can afford them; therefore, what the govt is doing is highly commendable. Give the people bulbs and save them money.

owobokiri: GEJ and the gang should take it easy. At this rate, what will they distribute next? 'Energy saving' wives to all sturborn bachelors in Nigeria courtsey of the subsidy fund'?!

Beaf: ^
O-Gbawe! O-Power!! O-Funny!!!

Gbawe:

They don't need to buy and distribute energy saver bulbs this urgently. Disguy got it spot on when he talked about banning the use of normal bulbs. In most nations of the world, normal bulb are no longer made or imported. This idea has been operational in Ghana for several years now and you will hardly find anyone using normal bulbs anymore anywhere in Ghana. Shops no longer stock bulbs that are not energy savers.

This is merely meant to divert attention away from the FG's inaction over the revelations involving the subsidy scam. The thinking will be to distract "simpletons" (Nigerians) by doing something 'impacting' on a critical sector (power) the removal of subsidy has "funded". Nothing else makes sense since most Government worldwide have not taken this silly approach as there is absolutely no need or pressure to spend money on what people themselves must spend on as ongoing household expense.

People will[b] always[/b] buy new bulbs to replace dead ones. Why not simply create a situation where , gradually, the only bulb available to buy is an energy saving one? Why tell us you must use subsidy removal savings this unneccessarily and all to begin very quickly and conveniently in the middle of a time many are preparing to confront the FG over its inaction against subsidy scammers? Folks, see through the "scam". I expect more of these frivolous actions from a Government desperate to divert attention away from its inaction.

No one should fall for the antics of this corruption-friendly Government. Bring subsidy scammers to book. All this window dressing is fooling no one.

Apart from calling Nigerians
''simpletons''...................

U r on point!

Gbawe:

I did not call Nigerians simpletons. Simpletons, as originally used, is in quote. meaning I am quoting the deceptive FG and their spin-Doctors. Why would they come up with this nonsense if they don't assume they are dealing with "simpletons"?

My brother, consider a wicked and deceptive Government that made Nigerians go through the pain of increased fuel price because so-called savings will be used for road, health, education, welfare, etc, etc.

In short they bullied Nigerians mentally to accept fuel subsidy removal because of how they presented it , more or less, as the only thing that would save the nation and assist her development. Now they are using those savings to buy light bulbs , a neccessary household expense accept by all, when we have not seen any impact on roads, health, education or real sector spending. It is GEJ's deceptive style at work. I.e Promise heaven and earth to get what he wants yet when he gets his way his actual effort is totally opposite to promises made.

I don't even want to go into talks of the promises they made for where our power generation should be today for anyone to come and be arguing that this silly and fraudulent spending is neccessary.
