PHCN, Our Long Term Joke I saw this in one of my BB groups, MileHigh Group (and No! its not what you are thinking) and it dawned on me that just like every other failed promises we have been getting , PHCN or NEPA has been a failed project for a very long time! We act like power generation is rocket science!Little wonder why we all think whoever gets us off this perpetual blackout in Nigeria will be a superhero. Obviously none of our leaders, past or present believes in superheroes, so why be something you dont even believe in? It is amusing the way we keep creating future plans, never thinking the day will come when we have to give account for those promises we make, Our leaders do not even respect us enough to try, neither do they respect themselves enough to keep their own promises. Touche! I recall a theme song for one of the "failed projects" when I was a kid: [i]Join us, come with us We are on our way Education for all, by the year 2000 ( They never thought 2000 would come that fast.lol) [/i]What a joke! It is 2012 and our education is still a joke, getting worse by the day. We create visions 2010, 2012, 2015, 2020 and of course no one even believes any of those crappy visions, because nothing is ever put in place! Back to PHCN, am I the only one who noticed that the bills have doubled and the power supply is less? Can someone please shut down PHCN the way NITEL has been shut down, so we can have private coporations who know what power generation is about do their job? because seriously, whenever I have the misfortune of going to PHCN, It becomes even ,more apparent that they have no clue what they are doing. PHCN/NEPA has been a long term joke, and no one is laughing anymore, so I guess it is about time we called in a new act, what do you think www.dianahsplace.info Twitter:@dianahsplace 3 Likes

1986? Oh my word!!!!!! It has gone from bad to worse, I remembered even when growing up, power supply was a bit constant though not 24hrs.. So pathetic, Fela is indeed a prophet, all his lyrics still manifest in naija till this day.... Naija I hail thee 5 Likes |

Foolish people will still put the blame on GEJ This man inherited problems from 1960. @op Nigeria is a failed state in no particular order of the former presidents I still believe that the only panacea to steady power supply is to first ban the importation of generator sets. It will surprise you to know that our top leaders are major shareholders in these generator manufactring companies like Mukano. 3 Likes |

If i had not developed a thick skin to the numerous woeful stories emanating from every angle in Nigeria, your post would have ruined my day cos it has reinforced my belief that no one should expect anything good from Nigerian politicians either now or in the future. |

ifihearam: Foolish people will still put the blame on GEJ You're very right, bro. The fools that blame GEJ for the problems of Nigeria are just being mischievious. The blame lies squarely on the shoulders of IBB, OBJ and Shagari. They had the best opportunity to solve most of our problems. Jonathan is on the right track. I believe he, Barth Nnaji, Okonjo-Iweala and Alison Madueke will give us power to a reasonable level. They need another 4 years too. So GEJ must run in 2015. IBB and OBJ deserve to be strangled. |

Ejiné: This Mukina girl is really on drugs. If the other thread deserved to be closed, then what the phuck is it doing on the frontpage? How many times are you going to be taught that Nairaland does not allow duplication of threads and where there is a duplicate the newer thread(s) will be locked/linked to the older? Am sure this is not the 1st time am explaining this to you. Learn and stop making yourself look a dumb cos you are the one that look to be on drugs. |

The best solution to our epileptic power problem is (1) Ban the importation of generators (2) Ban the use of generators in private homes (this includes existing private generators being used in our homes) (3) Also ban the use of power generating inverters. Let us all live in total blackout. Let the rich also have a taste of what the poor masses feels. I bet you the Govt ll huriedly push our power generating capacity from this sorry 2,500 mwts to 10 to 15,000 mega-wats, enough to power our homes. That is the only solution. 3 Likes |

mikron: The best solution to our epileptic power problem is sorry bros, but u nd i kno dat its not possible, not in this country. Someone said GEJ is on the right track, i seriously dont agree. Nothing will cost him to decentralise the power sector, then privatize it, just like what OBJ did to NITEL.... |

Lagusta: Lagusta:[quote author=Lagusta] Under which rock do you live in ?. Is'nt that exactly what GEJ is planning to do. PRIVATIZE PHCN. The Road map to stable power supply is anchored on privatisation. |

i weep for naija sha, seems like naija has been cursed with bad leadership from the get go. And GEj who certainly is not the cause of these problems, ain't doing much. He looks like a tired and clueless old man. Dunno who will lead us to the promise land...but its certainly not all these old cargo that are seeking to be re-elected. #Godhelpnaija |
