One thing is certain; our polithiefcians have very low opinion of us! How do you explain a situation where a failed member of a failed political system still has the guts to ask for a second chance? To me, it shows they don't have any respect for us, it shows they think we are all stupid! The only speech I expect from these crop of polithiefcians is their resignation speech for being colossal failures

By the way, it should no longer be about a political party, it should be about individuals! We don't have any sane polithiefcal party, they are one and the same. If you vote out APCheats today and vote in PDP, all these thieves will go to PDP cap in hand, tail between legs! There's nothing called party ideology in Nigeria, just pocket ideology. This is why they all find it easy to shamefully move from one party to the other. 2023 should be about the people not the party!

Diesel to generate power for the whole Nigeria? Hahaha. Do you know what you're implying?

I don't trust these guys! I read an article to that effect. Here:

National Grid My Foot
[b]We keep hearing that the national grid has collapsed! Nobody has asked how?? Ask them how, cos it is imperative to understand these people when they give excuses. How? In what way did it crash? Did the transmission infrastructure fail or did the distribution network and infrastructure collapse?

They are liars! Do you know what really happened? They can no longer sustain their lies with N700 diesel. Instead of investing in proper power generating facilities and capacity, what most of the GenCos have been doing is to get by on what is called Peak Power diesel plants and now, apparently that plan has gone belly up! It has become unsustainable!

I will explain. What has been sustaining Nigerian power supply for a few years now is mostly our hydroelectric plants and Turbine power station operations such as Egbin, Afam, Olorunsogo and Sapele power plants. Up until February, Egbin was contributing an average of 800MW to 900MW to the national grid. Egbon has an installed capacity of 1320MW. Sadly, there was a recent fire outbreak in Egbin. This happened this past February, after which Egbin lost about 630MW of its output and thus, its ability to contribute meaningfully to the national grid was greatly diminished.

Other power plants could barely pick up the slack. Do you know why? Most of the nation's powerplants are either non-functional or only partially functional. Many Gencos are quack companies - they were sold to the politically connected, most of whom were inexperienced and greedy oligarchs, who are ever claiming subsidy and capacity which they do not have, cos they have not really invested. Power generation requires massive investment, after which the benefits and dividends could be sustained for many decades. They clearly do not care about investing, all they are interested in is the subventions and rents from FGN.

What many of these GenCos have been doing is what is called Peak power contribution - these are essential massive diesel generators which are designed to contribute in times of high demand, to a more stable and constant base powerplant in a grid setup. In essence, a Genco should ideally have a base powerplant (could be Gas turbine or Coal) and then in addition to that, a peak power supplement. The peak power supplement would normally only be used when there is short-lived or sudden high demand.

What happened to our Gencos is that most of our base power plants are not functional (this is why we keep hearing claims of generating capacity which is never realized or manifested in our total output or experience as consumers). Many of our Gencos contribute so little to the national base power pool that it is laughable! For that, they get to claim a status of being "partially functional". What these criminal Gencos have really been sustaining themselves with is the supplementary peak power contribution and thus, they have been almost entirely dependent on diesel. When diesel price went up astronomically, they went belly up!

They can no longer sustain the cost of their deceitful and false existence. It explains why the industry has forever been complaining about not making profits. They have not invested in the proper infrastructure. This has made our electricity very expensive! This is in truth what caused the so-called "National grid to crash". Remember the statement that Nigeria economy is run on diesel? It has never been truer than it is now! And things are not going to get better soon - not until raining season. You all need to start praying for rain.
My five cents.

What happen? Them no let am contest for ondo? I am not surprised by anything sophisticated moröns do anymore. Even governor's wife can't contest because of tribalism. Barbaric people

But they allowed her work as the first lady for 8 years without any wahala? Some of you guys are just truly toxic!

National grid collapsed abi you're truly using diesel to 'generate' power like an analyst said a few weeks ago? According to him, no light until rain comes fully because the goons in charge of electricity generation aka 'national grid' can't afford to use diesel at N750 per liter and you guys are just lying about national grid. Even if the national grid has an underlying illness causing the regular collapse, shouldn't you have fixed it? Liars

In Ogun state? I'm guessing the buses came with their own roads

Ordinarily, you should follow the case up to a logical conclusion; it'll give you closure and peace of mind. But what If you go and they charge you for kidnapping, 'unlawful' possession of a child n ko?
Personally, I'd rather take the child to a radio station...(What naija police can't charge you for doesn't exist )

The abokeys will still destroy it...a sane government will halt all major investments connected to the Northern Nigeria for now

You know where exactly they are, you know who exactly they are- but you can't round them up and kill them or at least make fake arrests and release as usual! I doubt it's because you care about the abductees, but most likely because they are your foot soldiers and they are fighting for you. I bet what they want that they can't say is for Bubu to fulfill his promise by speeding up his islamisation agenda

I just see a man making up stories because he's lusting after his friend's wife

Soldiers always at the forefront of protecting fulanis!

Now you know why they are called fulani armed forces.

but ba! u knw say among those soldiers protecting the fulanis, you will still see lots yorubas among them wearing the nigerian fulani army uniform and shooting at their tribes men just to keep the fulanis protected.

i honestly don't know what they feed other tribes in the army to make them stand against their people in their support and protection of the fulanis.

Av seen only the igbos in the army protest thru youtube videos when their colleagues attack innocent igbos in igboland but av never seen any other tribe does that!

AV NEVER SEEN ANY KADUNA, PLATEAU, BENUE OR YORUBA BORN SOLDIERS PROTEST THE KILLING OF THEIR PEOPLE BY FULANIS AND THEIR NIGERIAN ARMY SERVANTS! AV NEVER SEEN AND YET THEY ARE SO MUCH IN THE ARMY! AND THEY WILL STILL BE DEPLOYED TO GO SHOOT THEIR CIVILIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS PROTESTING THE KILLINGS IN THEIR STATES!

Na waoo!

Just a point of correction; Igbo soldiers attack, kill, maim their Igbo brothers and sisters in Igbo communities, the same way Benue, Yoruba soldiers attack their kinsmen all in the name of representing Nigerian army. They have been zombified and wired only to protect the Fulani terrorists. We have seen videos of Yoruba soldiers crying out and we have seen that of a man from Jos and also Igbos.

You don't know Elrufai then .this means nothing to him.

Hellruffian is a bloody hypocrite

princejite:
Thanks for your prayers .He has be found, Give thanks to God Almighty and people that shared it. social media is powerful.

I'm happy he's been found...glory be to God!
How, Where and When was he found? I'm just curious and I hope he's in good shape.

I dnt intend developing that particular place, not now, not even in the future. I've left it for a couple of years now & the value seems to appreciate. I dnt fancy having a single asset in the north central where i recide, reason am considering selling it. I also dnt intend to contribute everything from the sale to his campaign. Am just considering the merits & demerits of my action before trying to convince my woman. Reason am seeking for opinions here.

I get that you don't want to invest in the North where you reside (I'm assuming you are a southerner). But whatever you do, discuss it with your wife before you sell, and if you sell, use the proceeds to buy another land where you'll have peace of mind. Investing in your colleague's campaign can be in any other form

James4358:
though am optimistic this former colleague will sail through, but am wondering if this is a good decision to make. Am not looking for anything in return if he wins, I just need opinions from nairalanders before i try to win my woman over on the issue.

You contradict yourself sir! You said you don't expect anything from him, yet you want to sell a piece of land given to you by your parents in-law to help him fund his political campaign! You think he'll remember you once he gets there (if he gets there)? You are also not to be trusted to make wise investment decisions!

We understand... he's your boy; if you bail him, he'll face extradition but if he remains behind bars, he'll remain a VIP prisoner eating his wife's food, sleeping in his house at night

As usual- you'll clear anything; including/ especially human beings

Chief terrorist Gumi has spoken

You can say no to your parents for the one you love, if they are being unnecessarily harsh or refuse to respect their child's choice of spouse. What is wrong is cutting them off totally. Some mothers can be mean to other women, but they want their daughters to be pampered by their mothers-in-law

If you ask him 'How'? He can't answer because there's no clear-cut blueprint of how he plans to do that. Dumb assed polithiefcians

I guess he married a professional prostitute whose only definition of "work" is selling her body and he's afraid she'll go back to "work" if he is not working.. it's either that or he's an insecure mofo

I saw you've paid transaction charges till December, abi you're just receiving alert from 2021 transactions?

You guys should stop your tribalism! An Igbo man just burnt his wife and his brother in-law, same way a Yoruba man killed his own father with a cutlass... Igbos and Yorubas get for hand, hold for back... you're not better than eachother

Things might get better if we don't elect another abokey who will continue the bad foundation laid by Bubu's administration

Or the father

Exactly same thing Atiku said, but Lagos-ibadan expressway newspaper no allow us hear word.
When I say ndi afonjas are evil, I know what I'm saying.

Sorry, I'm "ndi afonja" and I'm not evil. We all have bad things to say about other ethnic groups but we should refrain from unhealthy generalisation.

Boko Haram and bandits...are they not same sides of your terrorist brothers and sisters? You know them but you won't arrest them? If you won't arrest them, just allow Gumi to deliver the ransom as usual

This is saying indirectly what Atiku said he was going to do to NNPC. But zombies used it to campaign against him, saying he wanted to sell their birthright. APCheats are doing it now but you guys are mute.

All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others

To what end? I guess it's just to help the terrorists somehow

Really? Does it mean you can't tell the truth for once because you're eating free food- even when the food is salty, soggy and tasteless?

The people are bad- agreed. But one good leader can change the orientation of these bad people and that good leadership is what we lack in Nigeria today, which is why the ship is sinking deeper. Bad orientation cannot continue to be an excuse for bad leadership!
