The north again? The north is finished!

Kobojunkie: [size=14pt]How can electricity in the country have improved when

a) Transmission problems have yet to be tackled

b) Generation has fallen back down over the last couple of months. It is estimated to be about 2700MW on average per day, today.How can that be an improvement from more than 3900MW we were told of about December of last year[/size]


na juju


If your goal is to rejoice that that power supply has improved(a la increase in power rations to your area at this time) in your tiny are of your state, go right ahead and do just that. However, when you want to speak of Power at the National level, at least visit the facts rather than come off sounding like another of the many empty-brains out there who feels that as long as they have electricity in their home, all is well in NIGERIA.
It would benefit us as a whole if we outgrew this selfish way of analyzing issues and situations.

must you comment. junkie!!

the north again.

SOKOTO AGAIN

ISLAM AGAIN

THIS IS TERRIBLE.

THE NORTHERNERS ARE GENETICALLY BORN GREEDY!

The whole event was more disorganized than organized. Only the part featuring Mr. Bean i liked. It was so disgusting to watch i had to use a very very large hammer to smash the screen of my television.

a gaming laptop will serve you more for years to come. Make sure your hard disk is also large, because in some cases, your system would use your large hard disk space as RAM.

THIS USELESS THREAD SHOULD BE LOCKED UP AND DESTROYED.

SEE THE TOPIC I HAD EARLIER POSTED IN THE MORNING BEING BROUGHT ABOUT BY YOU LATELY. Men! this site is something else.

Abdulramid Useni, a resident of Gangere in
Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau
State, who lost seven children to the flood,
said he was yet to comprehend what
happened to him.
“My world is finished. Where do I start
from?” he asked our correspondent in an
emotion laden voice.
Useni said they were sleeping when it
happened.
He said, “All of us were sleeping. I, my wife
and our 12 children were sleeping in the
house when all of a sudden, there was this
sudden surge of flood which took over our
house. Before we could do anything, the
house collapsed and the flood swept all of us
away, including the house.
“I was able to survive because I clung to a
pole. It was a matter of life and death as I
was there until the flood subsided.”
Useni said he had found the bodies of six of
his children while he was yet to locate one.
He said he and his wife and five other
children survived to tell the story, adding
that it was by the grace of God that his
other children survived. Useni said he and
the surviving members of his family were
taking shelter in one of the displaced
people’s camps in Rikkos.
Community Leader of Gangere, Gudu
Usman-Ali, described the Sunday flood
which killed no fewer than 38 people as a
disaster. Mahmud told our correspondent in
Jos that the flood was the worst the
community had experienced in recent times.
He said the rain started at about 7.15pm
and became heavier by 9.30pm when the
floods overflowed the banks of River Rikkos.
Mahmud said, “We were in the mosque
when the calamity started. The rain just
started washing away houses and carrying
people, some of whom were asleep.”
He said the floods overran three districts of
Rikkos Tudun, Gangere and Angwan Rogo,
adding that more than 20 people had been
confirmed dead while scores of others were
still missing. He called on the government to
hasten rescue efforts and provide relief
materials to displaced persons.

Bad leadership was responsible for the burst dam.

A woman and her five children were among
no fewer than 38 persons killed after heavy
rainfall in Jos North forced a dam to
overflow, flooding Rikkos and Gangere
areas of the Plataeu State on Sunday
evening.
No fewer than 100 persons were displaced,
with at least 50 declared missing and over
50 houses swept away.
The rain, which started at about 4.30pm,
lasted for more than eight hours before it
subsided.
Meteorologists had predicted heavy rainfall
in Jos in July. Figures obtained from the
Meteorological Department had predicted
that Jos would experience heavy flooding
with forecast for Sunday put at +18 degree
centigrade to +22 degrees centigrade.
A former Councillor representing Rikkos/
Gangere ward, Mr. Abdullahi Gangere, told
our correspondent in an interview that
more than 30 people were swept away by
the heavy flooding that accompanied the
torrential rainfall.
“I went there to assess the extent of damage
and it was much. We are still searching for
a lot of people mostly children who were
swept away by the flood,” he said.
A resident of the area, Abubakar Mahmud,
said many of the residents were sleeping
when the floods came.

He said, “Because it was dark nobody could
see anything. The floods just carried the
houses and people living in them along and
none of the victims could receive any help.”
Acting Zonal Coordinator of the National
Emergency Management Agency, Mr.
Mohammed Abdulsalam, who confirmed the
development to our correspondent in Jos on
Monday, said that 17 people were
confirmed dead in the flood, adding that
rescue efforts were still ongoing for the
missing persons.
He said, “We were informed of the
development at about 8.30 this morning
and our search and rescue team got there
one hour after. As at the time we got there
14 bodies have been pulled out and three
others were pulled out from under the
bridge.
“The bodies were also being prepared for
burial. We are coordinating the rescue
efforts with the Red Cross, Ja’amatu Nasril
Islam and Ja’amatu Izalatil Bidi’a
Wa’iqamatis Sunna to find the over 50
missing persons mostly children. We have
requested for their photographs and other
details for the search and rescue
operation.”
He added, “We have opened three camps
for the displaced persons at Government
Secondary School, Rikkos and Gangere
Primary School, Gangere.”
However, the Red Cross told AFP on Monday
the flooding killed at least 35 persons,
destroying or damaging some 200 homes.
Head of the Red Cross in the state, Manasie
Phampe, said, “We have recovered the
bodies of 35 people that drowned in the
overnight flooding. About 200 homes have
either been submerged or destroyed.”
The confirmed victims so far included a 90-
year-old woman and a three-month-old
baby, adding that the toll could rise, he
said.
Phampe added, “Rainwater and water from
the Lamingo dam which overflowed swept
across several neighbourhoods in the city.
“We are still searching for more bodies as
many people have been declared missing.”
He said that already relief materials in the
form of beddings, toiletries and other
consumables have been made available to
the displaced persons.
Commissioner for Environment, Mrs. Sarah
Yusuf, told our correspondent that both
NEMA and SEMA were coordinating relief
efforts as well as providing relief materials
to the displaced victims.

everybody cool down!!!

Oh! my God everybody for nairaland make una hear this one including the moderators and seun: fOR MY AREA NO LIGHT FOR ABOUT TWO AND A HALF DAYS!! This calls for a state of emergency on the power sector now!

Nigerian citizens may argue with their policemen only when they are unarmed. However, if armed one should desist from engaging these men in uniform as most of them are highly unreasonable and ready to use their guns on innocent citizens. Afterall most of these police men and women being recruited into the force were formerly touts, thieves, robbers, kidnappers, prostitutes etc. So be very careful whenever you engage them. Remember, as far as you are on earth, you do not possess all powers in terms of money, capital, control, weaponry, militia etc; thus you are prone to injustice whether you like it or not except if you are the Almighty God. Be wise because a dead person can no longer seek for justice.

May God help us all.
