Minister of power does not have to be an engineer, he has plenty of those within the ministry, associated agencies, and consultancies.

Ministries need visionary leaders, just as the US Department of Defense is always headed by civilians who most often have no military background.

Leadership trumps academics.

We have been doing thesame thing in a particular way for so long and it is no yielding any dividend what stops us from doing it differently the way it ought to be and see the difference, , the so called engineers within the ministries and departments have always been there and as civil servants you know what entails , if they sense any nativity in the appointed minister they exploit it to the fullest.


You made mention of the US DoD always headed by civilian you never mentioned the part where such civilian selection is always having ties with intelligence community or military background.

I implore you to draw thesame analogy with the US Justice department or even that of Nigeria and ask yourself why they have decided to stick to their own.

Reactive police force crafted by a reactive system operated by a reactive government....whatever happened to proactive measure and preventive measure.

The bitter truth is that the Nigerian police force just like other institutions of state are irredeemable damaged and no amount of face saving can controvert that fact.

Must she lay bare her chestal curvatures

Very kool structure

Nigeria's power problem isn't technical, it is purely administrative; I wonder why a lot of people still hold this extremely simplistic analogy that "power isn't working cos an engineer isn't minister"

From the technical point of view, power generation and distribution is as easy as ABC, it's one of the simplest problems mankind has solved and forgotten for over 100 years. That Nigeria doesn't have power today isn't because we lack the technical know-how, rather it is an administrative and leadership problem.

If you place the greatest professor of engineering the world has ever known as Nigeria's power minister, if he lacks the political will, administrative prowess, discipline, tenacity, street smartness, 'Nigerian wuruwuru smartness' and leadership abilities to bulldoze the cabals that have kept us in darkness, he will not be able to achieve anything.

My brother you are completely wrong when you stated that generation and distribution is as easy as ABC , ofcourse all those who made similar statements all met with calamitous failures starting with Bola Ige of blessed memory and of recent Raji Fasola, their utterances came about because of their limited understanding of the intricacies and peculiarities of the power sector especially in Nigeria.

To even say the problems of Nigerian power sector isn't technical is quite debilitating to say the least, Financing and policy formulation the other components of the sector come about with sound technical inputs not from personnel managers but discipline technical resource persons.

Fashola is a brilliant and astute resource manager atleast his exploits while at the helm of affairs in Lagos says somuch, why then did he fail, forget all those crap about increase in the generation capacity in the country, I tell you this in good authority never in the history of power transmission in this country have we had the number of total grid failure in a calendar year as under Fashola's time.

Ok Rivers state issues masturbators over to you guys..

These people will never learn...why da bleep will this government keep designating the post of the power ministry to non engineers with little or no technical know-how to understand and manage such specialised position.

This is the very reason I do not take these visionless professional bodies seriously, where they are supposed to embark on aggressive advocacy they wouldn't all they are interested in is fighting for executive positions so they can embezzle collected dues and also use the platform to rein in contracts for their personal establishments. COREN & NSE comes to mind.

Fashola for all his successes as the governor of Lagos state failed woefully in this ministry because it's a case of square peg lost in a bottomless round shaft.

In the recent history the only appointee that understood the ministry and came up with a comprehensive blueprint to improve the comatose Nigerian power sector was Prof. Barth Nnaji, ofcourse he was on course to achieve that before the Nigerian factor crept in, his greed and personal interests blinded him to the set objective, which lead to his sack...only for that administration to bring in a near completely inept business man in the person of Prof. Chinedu Nebo and then the vicious circle continued.

Why was Alpha beta, Lekki concession company and Tinibu alausa holdings not in that list.

Alpha beta especially after the damning report of monumental fraud and under declarations of revenue by it's now estranged director to the EFCC.

Ok

Now that's better

Better that way

Minimal problems for us if na dem dem...

Just imagine this nincompoop...how delusional could anyone be..

Is Nigerian embassy the spokes agency for the German authorities..guess this is just a face saving move to convince their benefactor in Abuja that they are up and doing...little do they know that Buhari does not give 2 shi.t about the attackers and the attackee so long as they don't disturb the nextLevel blueprint.

Herdsmen are at it again

Fake bloggers everywhere....this video that is old as methuselah has now taken a new story line all to welcome traffic

Bloggers be warned ooh!

Inteltower:
when immature fools have nothing wise or counter intelligent to say they will take to mockery & useless opinions

Fools like you I'll presume

Chisos!

This Falana is becoming too mouthy....is high time the herdsman reason his case to calm him down just as he did to Sowere.

Just negode this archaic Afonja amidst sweet 1960s slay mamas..

N3M is big enough to kill for Naija naa....nobi for N50 & N100 police dey kill commercial drivers everywhere for the con3.

RIP unknown man next life dodge African completely and if you can't make sure you don't land in naija under any circumstance.

Idle and lazy youths...if they had voted this way during the presidential election Atiku wouldn't be struggling to Cum and reclaim his stolen mandate.

Congivitis has kee brother men in BBN house ooh.

Now it suddenly makes sense that thing has a mind of it's own independent of logic or shame just a raging lustful quest....that boneless protrusion...please don't mistake what I'm referring to...l mean dawan without endoskeketon, that when turgid gives the impression it has some inbuilt reinforcement only for it to splooge and fall back to the dejected and pathetic state that it has come to be associated with it ....just long enough until it comes into another heat cycle.

Forensic investigation and detection goes with an authentic and verifiable national bio database.

And as currently constituted all facets of the country's security apparata is under the purview of exclusive list.

For the Lagos state initiative to work the old long state police clamour needs to come on stream else there will constitutional breach since states are not permitted by law to access the sensitive bio data collected by the NIMC , BVN, INEC, GSM Network providers etc.

Even medical records of citizens cannot be accessed by state without a a breach of doctor-patient privacy privileges and its attendant legal implications.

Bottom line our laws need to be tweaked to bring it up to date with current realities not that century old junk the British passed on to Nigeria as constitution

Season of reaction... invectus Obi is lucky his scandal wouldn't be trending for solong afteral ...Ekweremadu and Ipob Germany debacle has over shadowed his just like Dakolu's wife and the COZA pastor before.

the popular A&M hymn comes to mind

My hope is built on nothing less -

"My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand."

Happy Sunday folks

What fvckery!...many bloggers won't make heaven walahi...always sensationalising trivialities to wheel in traffic.

Nonsense and ingredients

No time for nonsense....I will just pass this stupid blog like I was never here.

I'm very sure she must have tried several postures before settling for diswan.....tactically covering the critical point...until this slay mamas start showing everything like the white girls they're trying to imitate I wouldn't take them serious.

Guess they've all left him behind in the success ladder...all he has now are memories of what could have been if he never had the misfortune of being who he was when he took those throwback pictures .what a life!!

Authority1o1:
Reminds me of the popular 'die for nigerian at your own peril' quote.
A man sacrificed his dear life for others and nothing has been done to repay his bereaved family.
A stupid,unconcerned,inhumame and non-chalant gov. Wike steps forward and makes an unfulfiled promise just to calm tensions and make people see him as a compassionate man.
Must all politicians be cruel?
Must one be so heartless to become a politician?
Afterall the bereaved is not your son.
God will will surely repay his family for his kind gestures.
Sorry for the loss.I TRULY wish I could help.

Ain't you very stupid for describing the governor asuch...is the state obligated to specifically cater for the deceased family, what the governor made was a pledge with no specified time frame to fulfill it..

The deceased young man is an unsung hero undoubtedly but his action was borne out of personal conviction and and not a service to the state but to humanity, so don't come to the public space to showcase your frustration with life. Nonsense!
