Business unlimited!!!

Only in Nigeria I know that Churches are for-profit organizations.
I dont blame them, I can only blame incessant corruption, lack of will and development plan, poor mindset and poverty in the society from time immemorial

What do you expect? The wrecklessness of keke drivers in this area is very crazy.....it is just a recipe for tragedy.
I took this picture on Wednesday of an overloaded keke at Agbarho riding on a busy Warri-Patani expressway. People don't value their own life. It is not financial poverty but poverty of the mind

Happy birthday sir

I spotted this on Warri-Patani Express way today and it has been sending shills up my spine all day.
I wonder why people do not value their life and indulge in all these sort of crazy thing.
Poverty or rising dollar is not an excuse for being stupid. This is a recipe for tragedy.

I frequent this road almost daily as I have a running project along that axis and week in week out, I always witness serious and fatal accidents involving these tricycles (Keke) and motorcycles (Okada) that ply the expressway from Warri/Effurun to nearby villages and towns along the road.
Their recklessness and careless attitude is second to none.

It is only on this road I witnessed to Okada having head on collusion!!!

Good things coming outta africa

Glory be to God

Like play like play, PDP nailed their own coffin.
The only bond holding PDP was Nigerian money which they have unlimited access to through government

RIP PDP

If you guys don't know, Peter, Paul and Jude are cashing in seriously on all this tete-a-tete.

Massive PR strategy and publicity stunt if you ask me.
Take these guys serious at your own risk and risk of your hard earned cash
Every fight is hit back to back

when I was in Lagos NYSC camp years back, I had the opportunity to meet some recruiters who came to recruit for an American conglomerate just because I directed them to where they wanted to go in the camp. They gave me the hint about Graduate Trainee program which I shared with friends and camp room mates.
They called people for interview except me but after several weeks that my guys had been interviewed, I was finally called for interview and fortunately/unfortunately I was the only one recruited among them all. The organization recruited only 7 people.

And till today, I am still grateful for that opportunity.

Bottom line: BEING THE ONLY CANDIDATE DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU THE JOB!!!
If the job is destined to be your....surely it will be yours

Naa!
Nothing wrong with your initial statements.the gas turbine is a "power gen set" and the "load" is "pumped" onto the main grid at high voltage!
It was the way you put it ,reminded me of school!
You need to hear civil engineering students explain the soil mechanics theory of "soaking garrison and water"
(You go burst laf)

Noted.

...generator to pump 300mW of electric power(na water)
If you want to confuse a year1 electrical just mention double cycle.he go fall magsmags
Hahahaha!

Did you see the quotation mark?
If you look at the sentence what you see is a this "pump".

If you want to confuse an Engineering student that is poor in English..... (your own words!!!)

INTROVERT:

Combining two or more thermodynamic cycles results in improved overall efficiency, reducing fuel costs.

Thanks. I did not read your sentence clearly .... " if not for anything but"

Gat it...You are right. Combined cycle of Brayton and Rankine cycle

INTROVERT:
This is great news if not not for anything but for the fact that it's a double cycle power plant.

What is your concern about "double" cycle power plant?

My own concern is the number of generating sets that will be required to "pump" 300MW as it is not stated the capacity of each set.

Good development anyways!!!

Cummins Power Generation (Nigeria) Ltd., a subsidiary of Cummins Cogeneration Ltd., has signed a 300 MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Sapele Power Plc. and is preparing to build one of Africa’s largest gas-fired power plants. Deepak Khilnani, Chairman of Cummins Cogeneration Ltd., announced this landmark power deal only weeks after signing another 300 MW investment in neighbouring Beyin, Ghana.

“I am excited about our partnership with Sapele – as we bring our respective strengths and capabilities together, I believe we can deliver a clean and sustainable long-term energy solution for Nigeria,” said Deepak Khilnani.

Cummins Power Generation will run and operate the plant on Cummins Combined Heat and Power (CHP) lean burn gas generator sets. These emit up to five times less nitrogen oxides than comparable diesel generator sets and near-zero particulate matter. Further, they offer a 48% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to traditional steam turbine engines, delivering a highly efficient and environmentally sustainable project.

Sapele Power Plc operates Nigeria’s second largest power plant by installed capacity of 1020 MW, capable of meeting the energy needs of around 750,000 homes at full capacity. Sapele Power will distribute the electricity generated from the plant directly to Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Plc. (NBET), supplying thousands of homes and businesses with clean power.

Chairman of Sapele Power Plc, Mr. Anthony Onoh, said the utility company which has a strong focus on sustainable generation is focused on capacity recovery from its existing asset, in addition to capacity expansion from a mix of projects which would double the plant installed capacity within the next 3 years.

“We know that Nigerians have high expectations from the privatized power sector. We are innovatively rising to that challenge as we work to improve performance at our generating station; as we integrate more renewable energy into the grid; and as we improve how we communicate all aspects of our business,” Mr. Onoh said. He further explained that talks with the U.S EXIM Bank, the African Development Bank, and the African EXIM Bank on funding for expansion projects were ongoing.

The project will be split into two phases; the first phase is expected to be completed and exporting power by July 2016 and the second phase is forecasted to be commissioned by December 2017. Once complete, the plant will supply approximately three billion kilo-watt-hours of electricity to the Nigerian grid per annum, approximately 10% of total production today.

Operating more than fourteen power plants in Nigeria, Cummins Power has a strong track record with both captive and independent plants.

Hi Good people,

My friend's junior brother had an admission into Niagara College. I like to know how genuine is this institution. I also like to know what and what is required to have a hassle free visa application process. Thanks in advance.

@ANBAKO, You have no cause to worry. Niagara college is a genuine institution. It may interest you to know that I secured admission to study International Business Management at the college for May 2016 Session. Currently putting finishing touches to my documents in readiness for submission. Respect to all the gurus and veterans in the house.

Thank you so much for this. This guy also got an admission for the same course but I dont know the session.

Good luck.

Power plant!!!!

I cannot see anything that resemble power plant in those pictures
All I see is a rig.

It is a good one anyway.
If only our state governments can develop plans like this.

Hello Brabus,

Can you share the cost, BOQ of this suspended slab (Decking)?

Personally, I will suggest all money goes to Iliyande if possible. He started this and he is also the right person to wrap it up.

What does the house think about this? Time is key here. Between now and next week we should be able to close this out.

I therefore open the floor for Iliyande to share his account details if he accept to take on this.

All we are gunning for here is 50k

Good luck!!!

Most unfortunate thing here is that this is coming outside Nigeria. The brand is dying daily despite it potentials.

I am putting this here because of how Arik almost killed my career last year September when they cancelled my flight from J'Burg. I only got to know when I got to the airport and it was the last day of my visa. And the SA immigration guys said I must get out of SA or else I will not be allowed to enter SA again. I just got promoted at work which requires frequent travel to SA. I do not have any option than to get another flight ticket. The worst is that none of their staff is even on ground to offer any assistance. I had to buy another ticket through Kenya and the Kenyan airline, even though could not get me a ticket for that day, they got me one for the next day but checked me in immediate so that I could beat immigration. With the efficiency of the Kenyan Airways staffs I was able to beat immigration 12minutes to the expiration of my visa.

Addo Roosaabsolutely true. even flying from Warri to Lagos (and v.v) is a challenge. cancelled flights, leaving passengers stranded in Lagos. Same story… show more

IBRAHIM MUSA16hIBRAHIM MUSAIf only the Arik Airline Passengers will take time to ask the employees of Arik Air how it's like work in Arik Airline. Salaries are almost nonexistent as employees are compelled to come to work on regular basis for months without being paid their salaries, so just imagine not being paid regular salaries which the Airline agreed to in form of contra signed how then do you expect other benefits such as awards, bonuses and health plans for the employees and their family members to be taken care of ? When you see or come across an Arik Airline employees carting out services for you at various Airport they are like doing a Volunteer jobs and kind of humanitarian services not for the pay or benefits. The owners and operators of the Airlines in Nigeria have taken full advantage of the unemployment situation as well as the non existent of employment by the Government either at the center or state level to enslaves the their employees without remorse. When next you happen to travel by any Nigerian operated Airline show kindness to the employees and reserve your anger and bitterness or rather direct it to the Owners not even the management as the management are equally employees and not stakeholders as most if not all entrepreneurs are family based and not corporations as it looks like on papers and licenses issued by the Government. I know some of you might or will say non payment of employees wages is not an excuse to bad customer service but try put your self in their situation or in their shoes will the customer whom you tend to serve get the best out of you should you working for three months without being payed your wages? Your answer is as good as mine. show less


mark turner11hmark turnerMaybe its time IATA paid attention under IOSA to staff well being and to contractual management obligations. We hear a lot about SMS and IOSA safety audits for airlines to code share. There is no interest by IATA in staff well being and motivation which at the end of the day is a huge risk to safety when staff are disinterested and lack passion and commitment. show less

Air Arik Airlines has been flying to Liberia for sometimes now and I have heard passengers complained of maltreatment.
Sometimes I feel people complain about everything, not until I had my own share of the neglect and ill-treatment on January 29 ‪at Murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos.

Now, I believe some claims and complaints are legitimate no matter where or who they come from. I experienced some of the ordeals many Arik Air passengers complained about in the past.

My flight from Monrovia to Dakar was worse than a 100k Marathon; tiring, boring, non-entertaining and above all total disregard for passenger’s rights and feelings by the flight crew and attendants.

We boarded the flight around 11:15 a. m.; not the 10:50 a. m. booking time recorded on my e-ticket for January 29, 2016.

We arrived in Accra 12:45 p. m. (local time). The flight thereafter departed Accra at about 1:50 p. m. (local time) and arrived in Lagos at 3:50 p. m.

We had to transit for at least four (4) hours in Lagos expecting to be airborne at 7:40 p. m. (local time).

Haven’t sat at Murtala Mohammed Airport for nearly eight ( hours without any reasons we are told of the delay, (at least passengers are curious to know something), an Arik Air attendant walked to the already derisive and annoyed passengers and said: “we are just awaiting the flight crew to pick-up, just give us another 30 minutes some of the crew members are still home getting ready to come, once they are here we will leave” he said without any remorse.

A female passenger tried to inquire “so what is the problem? Why have you kept us here nearly nine hours without telling us that the crew members were not ready, neither are they even here at the Airport; even though the flight has been around since 7:20 p. m.”?

Arik Air attendant response: “you don’t know this is Arik Air, you think you have your own way here. I have told you just wait, when we are ready to go, I will communicate that to you, a discourteous Nigerian fellow remarked”.

This is how unprofessional, disrespectful and sickening the attendants were.

We finally departed Lagos at 10:00pm (local time) arriving in Dakar 2:00 a. m., (local time) January 30, 2016.

By virtue of my position, I am a regular traveler and always in Dakar, Senegal to provide technical and strategic support for Plan International West and Central Africa Region (Plan WARO Office). I am currently here for the regional communications managers meeting.

I am not going to explain further the abuses and exchanges passengers had with the Nigerian Arik Air attendants at Murtala Mohammed Airport last night.

However, I feel I need to let travelers worldwide know what happens all the times with Arik Air, and so they could take a decision that may change the unprofessional attitude of this Airline…

Na wa for you oooo.

Did you even read or see this post?

This cobbler is getting attention now because the op took it upon himself to post the picture here.

Some people sha!!!!!

I will like to suggest a "customised" tricycle whereby he can place his "workshop" in front of him.
I am 100% in support of this and I AM IN!!!

I will suggest we do this directly without TEHN so as to close it out without much bureaucracy.

Action point now if how much does this cost?

Can we have volunteers to take it upon themselves to help find out the cost....This can also your contribution to the whole process.

How does a soldier amass such wealth? From his salary?

We keep being economical with the truth
