Journalist: Can you name someone who thought he was above the law who has charges brought to him?

Fashola: Former Security Chief.


Wicked.

Shows that the clueless interviewer did not do his research and he messed with the wrong person..

thegoodjoehunt3:
You are very accurate here. The reporter was clearly lost. Did not have an idea of what is going on in the country or the circumstances around his points.

The journalist just dugged negative statements against the government and made it easy for Hon. Fashola to school him.

The interviewer sounds more like a shock jock than a journalist because he spewed outrageous and inaccurate argument that Fashola easily counter and dispelled with grace.

The reporter was obviously below Fashola's intellect and level, Fashola basically treated him like a kid..

CONFAMA:
is it not ordinary labourers that will be employed in building such infrastructure?

That concept is obviously foreign to him.

The buildings are going to be constructed on their own and not by construction workers from bricklayers to electricians, painters, plumbers, roofers, engineers, lawyers, accountants, estate managers, advertisers, food vendors who are going to get paid and put food on the table.

The low mentality and intellectual laziness killing our youths is very disheartening..

tolulakin:
When you refer to a person's sincere comments as rubbish, even when he has brought the basic challenges of the common man to the fore, it goes a far distance to show us how deep an abyss your intelligence has descended into. Has he lied about the experiences of the common man? Did he lie about the fact that during the GEJ tenure, whenever such bogus figures like these were reeled, people like yourselves become local champions and attack from all angles? Did he lie about the fact that energy supply to consumers is at an all-time low when government is claiming generation is at an all-time high? Did he lie about the fact that only the rich can eat three square meals conveniently today? Did he lie about the fact that the economy is in shambles?

What lies did he tell? Will the common man be lying if he tells you today that he pays for electricity he does not use? Will he be lying if he tells you he has turned into a beggar just to eat?

You seem very seasoned when it comes to insulting people...but then, can we find common sense existing in a political bulldog? We thank God for the food on your table today and the convenience you feel that makes it easy for you to run your diarrhea-infested mouth...but when you find it hard to feed and you begin to share the same plight with the common man on the streets, I pray you do not launch another moniker for fear of reprimand!

Keep the mouth running bro....Nairaland is still not censoring tactless bulldogs!

No, I was talking about your own lies, the same lies I trashed with documented facts and also the same facts that you can not even counter..


You lied when you asserted that Egbin Power Station is not generating up to 1/4 its install capacity, that was a lie which I countered with documented facts.

You lied when you asserted that GEJ did not stop and abandoned Lagos Ibadan expressway, but I produced facts that he did by not paying the contractors for years.

You lied when you insinuated that that Fashola did not improve electricity beyond 2000MW, but I countered with facts that he pushed it up to 5000MW last February before terrorists disrupted gas flow to the power plants..


Yes, I was talking about your own lies...

tolulakin:
I have been advised to let you be



[s]
someone above said you believe already that Buhari is your messiah...what can I tell you?

Quoting Raji Fasola....when you fight with a pig, he gets happy and you get dirty...I will avoid dirt at all cost!

Lets keep winning the Buhari way, your children will slap you for your idiocy one of these days!

Peace out bro...I gotta save my energy for more common-sense arguments with better thinking people who do not think all political critics are cry-babies like themselves.

Kisses...

[/s]


Thanks for letting us know you are not man enough to defend yourself or even produce sane and rational facts to back up your lies with and you have to hide under shallow people outside of the argument to bail you out..


Are you sheep or mumu that other people can swing around like jangrova... Be your man and put your money where your mouth is..

Johnnyessence:
good question teach them how to fish.instead of them to introduce policies and program that will change things for d poor they are signing mou that will only benefit d estate developers. am 100 percent sure d poor breed won't benefit from it.it's only d riches. why?

You did not answer my question, I was expecting specific ways and specific programs the government should put in place to eradicate poverty.

Teaching how to fish is just words and ordinary sayng, not, specific government actions and programs.

Again, what specific actions should the government put in place to eradicate poverty?

Johnnyessence:
abegi oga the investment u are talking here is for d elite and rich ones. they should stop all this signing gigantic contract and not improving d lives of common man in d society. d mou they sign won't help d poor breed ok. cos' d real estate they build before who are d one that benefit from it. we should change our mindset on signiing of gigantic project that will only help d rich.

Question.


What do you think the government should do to help the poor?

Ovamboland:
I will chip in a little bit, i recently read that a major maintenance work was carried out on Shiroro dam to increase output close to installed capacity, similar maintenance is planned for other dams, Jebba, Kainji.
But been objective, even if all these plants work at 100% installed capacity, even multiply by 2 is no where near our needs. Thus i am shocked that someone as articulate as you will say a project like Mambilla that needs at least 5 years gestation should not be a priority today.
The last i saw about Egbin it was doing 1,100 MW and the last 220MW unit was under repairs before the militants struck. Transcorp was planning a 1000MW expansion to it's 700 MW Sapele plant but with militant attack they could not use the current capacity due to lack of gas, so plans shelved. Fashola cannot be responsible for lack of gas. Neither is the petroleum ministry responsible for pipeline security. Hence the focus on other power sources, coal, solar

I think the smartest thing is what is going on today by building on what the last administration did with vigour making necessary adjustments and innovations to save critical time.
I would have loved to give you links to back it up but i don't have the resources at the moment.

But the plant which is currently generating 1,100 MW from 1,320 installed capacity


We have rehabilitate all units and currently generating 1,100mw” he said.



http://naija247news.com/2015/11/lagos-egbin-power-station-targets-2670mw-capacity-by-2019/

He was of course lying and everything they spew is always based on hate and ill will for Nigeria..

Johnnyessence:
in this economic recession we are witnessing we don't need to be building real estate oo.we should be working on ways to reduce poverty.not making d rich to be more richer again.

Investments is what create jobs and eradicate poverty and that investment means thousands of jobs for Nigerians which reduces poverty.


I know you people hate your country, but the unintelligent and upside down rubbish you people spew shows that you hate your fellow Nigerians too..

tomakint:
Stop constituting nuisance as usual mention one thing out of your usual hyperventilations here that has trickled down to the common man on the streets? Most times when I read your comedic posts here I keep wondering whether you enjoy living in a world of fantasies or realities these same figures were written during Jonathan's time and immediately your kinds will swoop on such threads and posters to rain abuses on them while posting your bogus and direction less points just to be "Liked" the people are complaining of lack of money, basic needs, parents are negotiating their children for monies, our young ladies are fast turning to prostitutes by fire by force, schools are on strikes, power supply is bad, roads are bad, salaries are being delayed, there is total break down of law and order. Are you even human at all with your bold face lies? Not even Buhari will defend his gross ineptitude in power but you?

[/s]


Not interested your pointless rubbish, just provide your own counter facts to either counter my argument or shut up..

You can put yourself to good use by helping your brother come up with sane and rational facts to back up his lies with instead of crying on his behalf..

ehie:
I had to double read. So the whole nation is depending on dangote. What if he dies or decides he doesn't want to. The vice president said Nigerians are know for their doggedness. L what it means is that Nigerians are prepared to take any shit served as food. And in other words suffering continues

lmao..If he dies, it means his investments dies too?

You mean he can change his mind after investing $7 billion and building a refinery, fertilizer plant, petrochemical plant, gas plant and sub sea pipeline?


You people just come up with the craziest rubbish just to show how much you hate your country and want to see Nigeria fail...

Look here, 2 years from now, no more fuel scarcity, no more gas problem or terrorists bullshit, no more fertilizer imports of problem, not more petrochemical imports...Yes, thanks to Dangote

God no go gree you people for sure..

And so on.

15 months gone. 33 to go. Future tense ongoing.

While the 16 years PDP gave us nothing but debt, darkness, abandoned projects and laid off workers, looting and stealing, looting and sharing aka #dasukigate.

Thank God Nigerians kick them out.

mandarin:
I didn't see how he was grilled here. Many of you just write for the sake of criticizing someone who to me is much better than Jonathan Goodluck. Being able to put stuffs together in recession is hard especially when you have to defend under a dwindling market conditions. I see many of you here are still struggling with JAMB while some can't even defend papers they call certificates!
Fashola to me is an inspiration in the political sphere and trusting him with multiple ministries is the way to confidently tell Nigerians that he's a trusted hand.
To those who hope that Nigeria power problem can be solved by Buhari in a year, it shows how low your education has gone and how ignorant lots of youths have become.

This is why I love Fashola, he stood his ground and defended his country with sane and rational argument that you hardly see in Nigerian leaders.

Good to know we still have credible people with brains and smarts and even enough patriotic spirit to stand up for Nigeria.

Btw, don't mind the ipob trolls and unpatriotic anti Nigerian elements, they are just doing what they do best which is spewing hate and bigotry..

tomakint:
Abeg free that dude if you want to be respected here bro. To him Nigeria is working and Buhari remains his saviour.

This is when your kind creep into threads to beg your brothers to shut up and keep quiet before receiving some more beating and embarrassment..

You can put yourself to good use by helping your brother come up with sane and rational facts to back up his lies with instead of crying on his behalf..

ashjay001:
Tolulakin, how do u argue with someone who prefers a confirmed corrupt individual to a man everyone(his antagonists inclusive) agrees is above corruption?!

What kind of superior argument do u give someone who believes a regime were states were owing as much as 7mnths salaries with no end in sight to a subsequent regime who paid all that debt and makes every effort to make sure, such doesn't repeat?

How do u begin to argue with an educated, enlightened individual who prefers a Phd holder-stealing is not corruption, to a certificate-less man of proven n unassailable integrity?!

PMB has his failings, but not as bad as pining for GEJ!

What is superior argument?

That we were doing fine when when GEJ and his gang were looting us dry while at the same time asking us to get ready for pain and suffering when oil when selling for $80.?

That we were doing fine when when GEJ and his gang were looting us dry while at the same borrowing to pay salaries when oil was selling for $80?

Is superior argument looting and stealing for 16 years and still gave us nothing but darkness after looting $20 billion power funds?

Is superior argument budgeting funds for projects, pocketing the funds and refused to pay contractors for years till the same contractors walk off the job while laying off thousands of Nigerians?

Is superior argument Jona and okonjo stealing our money and giving it to Dasuki to share with their looting and stealing friends from Metuh, to Fayose, Obanikoro, Omisore and so on ...and even for spiritual prayers..

Is superior argument wholesale and institutionalized corruption and incompetence where Jona presided over the largest government earnings in the history of Nigeria, refused to save for rainy day, refused to invest and diversify our economy and still end up borrowing billions to pay salaries?


Superior argument is definitely not the corrupt mentality and basement argument you and your kind come up with.

Superior argument is definitely not playing dumb with facts and acting as if Nigerians are dumb and have no clue how e get to this sorry state.

Nigerians made the superior argument when they kicked your PDP uncles out of office and I dare say good riddance and if doesn't matter what you jokers say or how much you cry, those corrupt bastards are not coming back.

tolulakin:
I would want to take you on and argue with you..



[s]but in your comment I see silly and unprintable words you are using on people. That we all come on here and argue issues of National importance does not make anybody a loser. That we are here thrashing issues together does not mean your butt-generated common sense is superior to every other person's own! That you have some silly news to share with us that does not translate into increase in energy supply to consumers does not mean you are a better Nigerian citizen than the rest of us.

And finally, that you are this insanely obsessed with Buharism does not mean you love Mr. President more than some people here who have voiced their discontent. Why call people names who have not called you names? Why in seven heavens do you think you have any moral or common sense justification to try and tongue-lash people here? Who exactly are you?

I must leave this for you as a final word....the reason why Nigeria is still backward is because the youth population consists of half-brained n.itwits like yourself who are intelligently ignorant and are pushing to become future leaders in the face of their stark, self-inflicted, schooled illiteracy!

Get a life and stop being a Nairaland political bulldog!

[/s]


It's time to play coward and and start dodging around.

Of course you can not argue even make the least competent attempt to counter all the facts I posted with your own facts.

When you lie, at least try competently to offer something to cover your lies with.

All you people do is hate and spew dumb and ignorant lies and rubbish all over the place.

All you and your kind can do is cry and cry and hate and hate on Nigeria, but we are winning and moving forward positively.


I'm not one of the low intellect you lie to and get away with, I'll trash your lies with facts..

These unpatriotic and anti Nigerians elements are really nauseating..

Simple questions for you Mr Mambilla project

The Olusegun Obasanjo administration restarted the project in 2002, but did not get to award the building contract. The Musa Yar'adua government that followed undertook a review and made little progress on the project; the Jonathan administration made little headway.

The German consulting firm Lahmeyer started work at the site in 2005 and did extensive engineering studies. It was replaced in March 2011 by a new project consultant, Coyne et Bellier of France. Between 2004 and 2006 tenders were placed and bids were received for Lot 1, which was the civil and hydraulic segment. CGC/CGGC won the lot 1 tenders in 2006 but while Lot 3 was advertised, it was never awarded. In November 2012, it was reported that government signed a contract with the Chinese firm Sinohydro to build Mambilla Power Station but the Power Ministry announced the cancellation of this contract in December 2013

More Action, Less Talk On Mambilla Hydro Project

http://allafrica.com/stories/201507300970.html



So please tell us why 16 years 3 PDP administration couldn't finish one single project.

How is it even possible for useless jona to finish the project when funds for the project was never secured?


However, reports show that part of the delay in the take-off was because the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy (CME), Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was not originally in the picture of the project, a situation which had created logistical jam and resulted in the halted last minute moves to flag off the electricity project in the North East last October.


http://sweetcrudereports.com/2015/02/18/mambilla-hydro-project-hits-security-logistical-snag/


The useless and incompetent people sat on their hands for 16 years, canceled the contract for the project and never touched it. Now we have money on the table to finish the project with thousands of Nigerians back on the job and earning a living..

Abeg keep quiet with that rubbish.

Uncle Lagos-Ibadan expressway. Who stopped construction work on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway before and for what reason did he stop a project that was progressing quite rapidly? Abi na GEJ stop the project before?

Starting from OBJ to Yaradua on to useless stealing is not corruption GEJ, common express way they could not finish even after budgeting and stealing money for the same projects..



It was learnt that the contract was stuck due to the inability of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan's administration to fund the project.

Apart from the issue of funding, the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) also faulted the re-concession of the road to Julius Berger Plc and Reynolds Construction Company (RCC), despite a pending legal dispute.

Though the Jonathan-led administration pledged to release N50 billion for the project in 2013 and 2014, the government was said to have provided only a guarantee to Infrastructure Bank to facilitate the release of N117 billion to Berger and RCC.

The reason why the two construction giants cannot be blamed to have abandoned the project is because they have been unable to get up to N10 billion since the bank has been trying to limit its risk exposure because of the legal tussle on the project.

http://allafrica.com/stories/201511300697.html


Again, shut up with your nonsense...

Mr Fashola knew that Nigeria was going broke before the elections when he was busy shouting 'fixing light is not rocket science'...what is taking him so long to take our generation to 20000MW?

Nigeria attains electricity generation milestone of 5,000MW

The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, yesterday announced that for the first time in the history of Nigeria’s electricity generation profile, the country has attained the milestone of generating about 5,074 megawatts, MW, of electricity




http://dailypost.ng/2016/02/04/nigeria-attains-electricity-generation-milestone-of-5000mw/

Very ignorant rubbish. Fashola pushed it up to 5000MW because we generated over 5000MW back in February before terrorists actions in the Delta derailed our progress...


Again, shut up with that nonsense...

If you insist I have Uncles in the PDP, maybe you should pray to God so that you have influential Uncles too....I even need me some Uncle who has got billions in their account...clean or not clean!

The PDP uncle thing must have struck a nerve and also must be guilty conscience on your part.



Where is the sense and wisdom in crying today over what your looting and stealing PDP uncles refused to fix and deal with when Nigeria was rich and making $1000/PB on oil?


Were they not even borrowing to pay salary when oil was $80/PB

Did they not tell us to get ready to suffer when oil was $80/PB


After looting and sharing $20 billion power funds, they gave us nothing but darkness after 16 years in office.

After 16 years, the roads and started projects remains abandoned till the current administration.

Fashola just paid our contractors, they are all back on the job, thousands of jobs are back.

We have 14 new power plants coming up without looting and stealing

We are 2 years away from self sufficiency in Petrol, fertilizer, petrochemicals and gas with more left to export for foreign exchange.



You can lie, moan and cry till eternity, that's your problem, but we are winning and moving forward.


Unpatriotic losers...

Solar power devt: Investors commit $2.5bn into 14 projects


THE power sector received a boost, yesterday, following the signing of Power Purchase Agreements, PPAs, between Nigerian Electricity Bulk Trading Plc, NBET, and 14 solar energy firms to the tune of $2.5 billion. Hon. Minister of Power, Works & Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola (2nd right), shortly after the signing ceremony of Solar Power purchase agreement between National Bulk Electricity Trader(NBET) and Fourteen Solar Power Developer at the Transmission Company of Nigeria, (TCN), Maitama,FCT, Abuja on Thursday 21, July 2016.


The signing, which was supervised by the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, is described as the largest investment in the sector ever. Fashola, in his speech, disclosed that the Federal Government would develop 20 per cent of total energy consumed in Nigeria from renewable sources by 2030.


He said: “It is the determination of the Federal Government of Nigeria to ensure that the country’s power sector is no longer dependent on the vulnerability of one energy source. “It is important to mention that this signing does not mean Nigerians will see steady power supply immediately because this is the first phase and it is going to take some time to see the projects constructed and start rendering services.


The sun is free but the process to get the power from it to the people is not free because it has to involve technology. Solar power is evolving and emerging to get it to the consumers.


“Today is just the beginning of such investments and we will explore more in the future. We want the people to get the best of power supply and we want the companies to give the best of standard solar power plants.” The signing of the PPAs paved way for financial closures and eventual commencement of full commercial operations by the companies involved in the development of the 14 solar projects.

[b]The companies licensed by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, are Pan Africa Solar, which is developing a 75mw solar plant in Katsina State; Nigerian Solar Capital Partners (100mw) in Bauchi State; Afrinergia Power Limited (50mw) in Nasarawa State; and Motir Dusable Limited (100MW) in Nasarawa State. Others are Nova Solar 5 Farm Limited (100mw) in Katsina State; Kvk Power Limited (100mw) in Sokoto State; Middle Band Solar One Limited (100mw) in Kogi State; LR Aaron Power Limited (100mw) in the FCT; and Nova Scotia Power Development Limited (80mw) in Jigawa State.

Also on the list are CT Cosmos (70mw) in Plateau State; En Africa (50mw) in Kaduna State; Oriental Renewable Solutions (50mw) in Jigawa State; Quaint Abiba Power Limited (50mw) in Kaduan State; and Anjeed Innova Group (100mw) also in Kaduna State. In his earlier remarks, Acting Managing Director/CEO, NBET, Waziri Bintube, said gas shortages experienced by gas-fired power plants, due to pipeline vandalism, had made it imperative for the country to seek alternatives to gas. Bintube said the Power Purchase Agreements, PPAs, would achieve the goal the company had been chasing after over three years of commitment and doggedness between it and the 14 solar energy firms. “When these projects, that will commence in the last quarter of 2016, are completed in the next 12 to 18 months, a combined 1000 megawatts of electricity will be generated and added to the national grid for public consumption at the cost of 11.5 cents per kilowatt hour,” he stated. Speaking on behalf of the investors, Managing Director/CEO, Pan African Solar, Marcus Heale, promised that the companies would adhere to the agreement of 11.5 cent (N23.00) tariff per kilowatt hour.[/b]

Your PDP uncles budgeted and stole $ 20 billion power funds and gave us darkness in return, but Fashola gave us 14 new power plants on less than 2 years without stealing our money.


The 4000MW mambilla power plant your PDP uncles neglected and abandoned is back on track, thanls to Fashola


The FG contractors your PDP uncles defrauded and refused to pay are back on the job with thousands of Nigerians working and getting paid, Lagos Ibadan express and other major roads and bridged are back on track, thanks to Fashola.


Btw, oil is selling for $30-40 and we are still paying salaries unfailingly, projects are continuing, but your PDP uncles were borrowing to pay salaries when oil was selling for $80


Okonjo told Nigerians to get reading for suffering and austerity when oil was selling for $80, so should we be popping champagne with oil selling for $30-40?



We know how we get here and we know who saved us from calamity.



All you unpatriotic and anti Nigerian elements can cry, moan and write all the dumbest rubbish, but we are winning..

While you are sitting here asking us to keep begging and paying ransom money to terrorists while they blow up our infrastructures and decay the environment, this is what Fashoola is doing and it's more than what PDP did in 16 wasted and incompetent years..


You see the red highlight, it means we don't need gas and your terrorists can not blow up the sun.


We know the ND game and we've played that destructive game for too long so they can keep blowing up their land and flood their waterways and villages with dirty crude, they'll reap what they are sowing..

ajepako:
PDP had an excuse.....corruption perpetrated by itself...vandalism..... which your oarty failed to condemn but verocious about now...

What is APC excuse....at least we hear ' the messiah' is 'fighting' corruption....hence we expect a slight improvementnot miracle....

Afterall we were made to believe it doesnt take a degree in rocket scince to fix our unstable electricity...ln six months...l need not remind you who assured us of that...

I did not ask you for PDP's excuse, I ask you to tell us from you own personal views the reason why we did not have stable electricity.

ajepako:
with me typing with generator that has been on since 7 pm and l was told by my neighbirs that light was on for 45 minutes..long enough to use the pumping machine... and that is our ration for the day...expectedly l will be required to pay 10k at the end of the month.. right in the heart of lagos...

lyen naa nice


Bo shey daa niyen..

You mean you did not do that for 16 PDP years even though they budgeted and looted $20 billion power funds?

Under Fashola, 12 power plants are going up

Under Fashola, 4000MW Mambilla power plant the PDP abandoned is back on track under Fashola

Ibadan express and all the FG projects PDP neglected and abandoned because they budgeted money for projects, looted the funds and refused to pay the contractors, but under Fashola, contractors are back on the job because they are getting paid.


Fashola did more in less than 2 years than 16 years if PDP..

ajepako:
And Nigeria's woes started exactly 16 years ago under PDP....

Yeah...sure....

Obviously, I did not say that and even going by your argument, our woes started less than 2 years ago under PMB?

You've established the reason why we did not have stable electricity today and it's because of Fashola's ineptitude, so I just want to know why we did not have stable electricity for 16 PDP years. What was the reason.?

ajepako:
A meaningful dialogue with miltants for a start...asurance of their interest.... clean up their enviroment...give them a real sense of belonging in their wealth... stop alienating them in the policy affecting them...among others...

Lastly, Fashola's ineptitude dealing with terrorist is the reason why we don't have stable electricity?


So, what was the reason why we didn't have electricity for 16 long PDP years? Who's ineptitude was that?

ajepako:
But you didnt condemn gas pipeline vandalisation during the previous administration..

BRF castigated the former administration for its inability to provide stable electricity despite APC sponsored pipeline vandalism... yet he left almost 5000 megawatt...

Now you blame vandals for thesame fashola ineptitude...

Excellent....

Please explain to us what Fashola should have done or what he's not doing to improve power situation in Nigeria.

oyetpel:
Fashola?? I shake my head, what has he done as the minister of power and energy Lagos is Nigeria and expatriates helped him during his tenure. Fa ko Fa ni.

He's done way more in less than 1 year than the ones before him many times over..

I wish I could say the same, but I stopped living in denial. I wouldn't have bothered waiting three or five straight years before seeing the wonders of Buhari but his current handling of the country clearly shows he has no plan for the country.

1. This is a President who used the Nation's resources on weekly junketeering.

Very weak and lame.

PMB is the president of Nigeria and international diplomacy and engagements needed to promote and protect our interest is one of his many primary obligations.

2. Till date, we all remain clueless on the retrieved loots from corrupt public officials.

The fact that you are clueless about current affairs doesn't mean the FG haven't made public what they recovered.

3. Fulani Herdsmen have been threatening the peace of well meaning Nigerians and the President stayed mum but was quick to 'condemn' terrorist attack on France.

Your opinion and not facts because the FG have made many pronouncements and have ordered security forces to deal with the situation...

4. There's no clear cut economic policies in place to measure up to the current problems of Nigerians.

Your opinion and not facts since we have on the table economic policies. Google is your friend or just keep up with current affairs..

5. Refineries are yet to be fixed but the President is on a quest to get oil from the North.

The fact that we are working on our old and neglected refineries doesn't mean we should not look for other sources of income..

Very lame and ill informed argument

6. The said corruption he is fighting is staring and smelling right under his nose yet he still hasn't done a thing.

Your lame and ignorant opinion unless you have facts to support your assertions with.

7. Unfortunately, security services and agencies have been reduced to lapdogs by the presidency.

Another lame and misguided opinion not even worth discussing..

Until these problems are tackled, Buhari is still the most terrible thing to happen to us as a democratic country and I don't regret losing faith in his government.

The only terrible thing I see right now are ill informed and misguided people like you spewing ignorant rubbish without facts all over the place.

The fact that we no longer have looters raiding our money all day means we are winning

The fact that we have close to 20 power plants going including the 4-000MW Mambila power plant that was abandoned and neglected for years means we are winning.


The fact that thousands of negected and abandoned projects are back on track because contractors are back on the job because they are getting paid means we are winning.

The fact that we are less than 2 years away from self sufficiency in petrol, petroleum products, gas, fertilizer and petrochemicals with many many more tons left over for export means we are winning.



Lastly, the fact that you and your unpatriotic kind see doom and gloom doesn't mean we are not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel..

Just last year, I joined the many Nigerians who actually thought a dogged fourth time contestants woild be the best thing to happen should Jonathan be kicked. A year after, I have lost my voice around friends and family each time a political discourse comes up, most especially about the state of the economy.

Problems bothering on insecurity, power, state of the economy and corruption have all grown worse than it was under Goodluck Jonathan. Not like Jonathan would have been able to redeem the nation a second time though, and I would have still clearly voted against him if I had caught a glimpse of the anomalies ongoing before hand, but this time, I would have just given my vote to Kowa or Hope.

Without mincing words, Nigeria is presently on autopilot; President Buhari clearly has no idea on what should be done. The BBOG Buhari used as a tool during his campaign have been forgotten, more than ever Fulani herdsmen have been armed and fortified as they impact roads and streets with cow dung and horrible flies. The budget padding saga is still an issue to watch while daily corruption charges hover around the president and his minions.

Just a handful of the many APC faithfuls who are fast realizing that the Change we have is in reverse, it is worthy of note to clearly state that I have lost faith in the Buhari-led administration.

I sincerely hope Kowa would come out stronger with young, vibrant, intelligent and dynamic candidates in 2019.

Unlike you and your kind, we love and believe in this government and we are standing by our president while he gets us out of 55 years of rot and decay and especially 16 PDP years that left us wrecked and drained.

When I gave my vote to PMB, I was not foolish or under any kind of illusion that our problems are fixable in less than 2 years and if you voted for PMB based on that fact, you shouldn't have bothered.

if Borno isn't safe then Abuja and the entire north isn't safe. Lagos state has witnessed a lot of kidnapping and violent communal clash. The south west is not safe also.
