I am beginning to feel the hatred felt for this duckhead called Beaf and I am leaning towards that direction, he must be a paid campaigner for GEJ no doubt.
Gen Buhari did more as a PTF chairman compared to what your fat goathead bosses did in 12 years.
Beaf=PUNKASS

Hatred?
Sometimes I wonder what drives some NLers! There are some pretty unhealthy types floating around who have no brains, yet wish to bully the brainy, perhaps out of jealousy. Shame on you!

Dude, I hope you will not be the next in jail for bombing or any similar dastardly act.
Ask House of Assembly aspirant of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) for Suleja Constituency, Lado Abdullahi what it feels like to be caught and arraigned for a hate crime (bombing a rival party's rally).
Or maybe that hatred will express itself as throwing stones at cars belonging to people half your age? Ask Buhari how much respect that has cost him.

egift:
Boy you are very fuunnny

Arrest Buhari? Who born am - no long story go ahead with the arrest. My advise to Jonathan is to provide Buhari with every security he needs - Nigerians will not accept any excuses if anything suspicious happens to him

Sorry, but some of you talk very stvpidly.
If there is a need to lock Buhari up, he'll be locked up. The article makes it quite plain that he is only walking freely, because he is contesting the presidential elections and GEJ does not want to lock up an opponent; but if he pushes it, he will be locked up and empty noisemakers like you will sit down and watch.

I really pity all the bigotted groups dotting the North. Don't their older cabal tainted elite have anything better to do? It is really shocking.

After the 2011 elections, each and every one of these sorry gatherings of bats and vultures, whether it be Northern stakeholders, NPLF, Arewa Consultative Forum etc, will fall on themselves and one another in an 0rgy of mutual destruction.

Everybody in Nigeria knew that Abacha was an usurper, and that he was uncontrollably corrupt and was also involved in state sponsored murder, but Buhari who you paint in such glowing colours, still agreed to serve under such a man as the chairman of PTF. As chairman of PTF, he made his own cousin the sole consultant for monitoring and assessing the value of contracts. Afriproject consortium was so corrupt that at the inception of Abdulsalami's regime, fearful of exposure, Buhari's cousin committed suicide in his office. When the books of PTF were opened, the can of worms was so much that Haruna Adamu said he felt sickened by it. One body determined the contracts to be awarded, the payments to be made and whether the contracts had been satisfied.

Do you know PTF estate in Wuse? The sweetheart deal that Buhari's PTF made with the contractor was so sweet. Not only would the contractor collect rent from PTF, but after 8 years, the place would be his to own!

Pataki:
Dunce, Buhari never contested for presidency in 1999. You are simply a mental disaster with this duplicitous idiocy of yours.

Ok:

Pick up your stones and follow Buhari in his lost cause of being the always present sham presidential candidate, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011 (will be there 2015, 2019, 2023, probably as a ghost from 2027 onwards).

. . .Still looks veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerry bad.

Pataki:
Actually I do use google search engine. It has further enriched my knowledge on various subject matter. However on this subject of energy and power generation, sorry doofus, you and I are not equals. And it is best you sit down and read when pundits talk on this matter rather than you displaying your infantile intelligence on a subject matter far beyond your acumen not now, or even in years to come.

Yeah, keep educating yourself with google. You never know, it might actually teach you to be a medical doctor, lawyer or astrophysicist; hell, it could make you an energy generation guru. LOL!
Pick up your stones and follow Buhari, no brain cells needed. Expired man and expired followers.

Unu go take foolishness wound pesin for NL o!

Pataki:
And the vindictive vengeful Obasanjo could not find fault with Buhari or have anything to pin against him? Must you live everyday of your life proliferating and spewing nefarious lies here and there?

Do you know that one of the first project PTF took into handling was in Lagos State? Now tell me, one accomplishment your PDP or Goatluck Jonathief has accomplished in Lagos?

Oh! They accepted an ex-convict back into their caucus and charged him to deliver Lagos to PDP right?

Where did I mention Obj, and how does Obj come into the argument?
Fact is Buhari is a thief who gave out whole PTF estates to cronies and spent 42% of its budget, while satisfying fools with token peanut projects in Lagos and elsewhere.

Pataki:
I read the ignoramus post and I was like, this Beaf dude must be Jonathan's blood relative to be this crassly ignorant. Solar energy is not the cheapest form of energy. A simple google search would have saved him from this sheer display of rendering silly statement on the internet.

Google search?
Unlike a lot of the sawdust brain on NL, I have indept, detailed knowledge of the field. You use google, it will save your life.

One sad fact remains though. . .

The greatest pointer, is that while GEJ is inviting the private sector, true to being part of the past Nigeria is better off discarding; Buhari is planning to do the same old thing in the same old way. He plans to use FG money and keep PHCN.
Fail.

9ijaMan:
Thank you o my brother. I was about to correct this misconception when I saw your post.
Nigeria, according to the GEJ led government should be having about 4,000MW (MW = Mega Watt) at the moment. This is the same as saying 4.0GW (GW = Giga Watt).

1 GW = 1000MW
So 3.3GW added to energy output in China is less than 4000MW which Nigeria has at the moment.

Beaf, just chatap ya mouth. What you don't know you ought to be quiet about. Just STFU. Where did you get such a convoluted idea from? Spend some time on the internet to research about Solar Energy and compare it with the burning of fossil fuels and hydro power plants. Do not ignorantly make stup!d statements on areas way above your knowledge level.

Lets agree you are a dunce and leave it at that. We have done this solar energy discussion numerous times on NL and in detail. That was before dunces like you whose "good morning" is a littany of swear words turned up.

Pick up your stones and follow Buhari in his lost cause of being the always present sham presidential candidate, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011 (will be there 2015, 2019, 2023, probably as a ghost from 2027 onwards).

The article fails to mention that Buhari's cousin, who was the sole authority for multi-billion PTF contracts, committed suicide before Abdulsalami opened the books. Such was the scale of fraud.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=629485.msg7968014#msg7968014 date=1300870453]^-- As the above two posters allude to. . . being in Kano in three weeks time might not be good for the health [/quote]Nah, they've learnt to leave Igbo's well alone in those places, cos those guys turn up for an argument with howitzers and rocket launchers. . . Just the sort of stuff almajiri's don't like.
No one should be bullied for expressing their democratic rights.

jensinmi:
Sorry Bros. Large scale solar farming is up to 8 times as expensive as just burning fossil fuels. Some good sources can be found online to support that point.

If one is quite lucky though, you can bring it down to 5 times the cost of deploying a Coal/Gas Plant.

No, you are looking at conventional means that work in temperate lands. Solar energy is by far the cheapest form of electricity for a place like Nigeria, but with the right technology.
However, lets leave the argument for another thread, where we can list every method, their costs and merits / demerits. This thread is packed with partisan boneheads that can't tell night from day.

^
Dude, your estimate for solar power is way too high. I strongly suspect that your definition of how to harvest it is narrow.

blink182:
Buhari promised 2019. While he is realistic GEJ is just dumb and desperate. Buhari knows too well that there are rotten elements in the system that he needs to take care of to enable his plans run smoothly.

Sorry bro, with the amount of people i have converted for buhari in my vicinity, I'm a lieutenant in his army if he looses by 2015 i'm sure to be a general cos i'll be organizing public meetings for him in my town.

It doesn't change one thing if you are the horse or the cart in Buhari's unwholesome organisation. It remains the same directionless cloud of dust.

I simply asked a Buhari supporter to be more sensible in his input, because Buhari's own manifesto on how it would deliver power is not only clueless, but projects constant power even further down the line than GEJ's highly detailed serving.

The greatest pointer, is that while GEJ is inviting the private sector, true to being part of the past Nigeria is better off discarding; Buhari is planning to do the same old thing in the same old way. He plans to use FG money and keep PHCN.
Fail.

It serves to do a little thinking before speaking. Sometimes, there is no need to be partisan, cos the truth will be hauled at you like a three tonne soccer punch.

PhysicsMHD:
Title of the thread is slightly misleading.

There is a difference between the voting populace and the entire populace. These stats probably have something to do with education level. . .

The title of the thread clearly say's "2011." So, its apt for describing the proportion of the voting populace.

eghost247:
are we not all Nigerians at the end of the day hun?

Yeah, we all are, bruv. What I'm pointing out, is that if true, the demographics of the mentioned states could provide a real shocker come the 9th of April.

40% of the Kano electorate?! That is a block vote for GEJ and possibly Shekarau out on his ear if. . .
Similarly, 30% in Kaduna see's Sambo and Yekowa safely home and dry.

Nice.

^
You shut up.
Did Buhari promise 2019 or not, or are you as ignorant as his average none-reading stone throwing foot-soldiers?

Here is an excerpt from a ThisDay article that says it all:

Speaking earlier, the coordinator of the Neighbour to Neighbour, the organisers of the programme, Ambassador Jerry Sunny Ugokwe, said the Igbos outside the South-east zone had the capacity to determine the next election, especially the presidential election.

According to him, “going by the just released voter register, the Igbos in Kano State represent 40 per cent of the voting populace, while they are 35 per cent in Plateau and 30 per cent of the registered voters in Kaduna State.”

greateros:
Brazil built a power plant of 120,000MW in 3yrs with a loan which they also paid back in 3yrs!

south africa gave a contract for a 5,000MW power plant at a cost of just US$3 billion!

PDP spent US$17 billion in 11 years and generated less than 2,000MW!!!

Whosoever votes for PDP this April is an enemy of Nigeria!

Why do I strangely recall Buhari saying he wouldn't provide constant power until 2019? Funny part is that he didn't even have an idea how.
Rather than you Buhari supporters gathering to poke fun that puts your man in even worse light GEJ, it would be better if you actually were non-partisan every once in a while. That way, you'll make more sense and even sound clever.

[size=14pt]HEAD OR TAIL YOU WIN[/size]

There are three likely outcomes from the forthcoming April 9thElections in Nigeria and it does not deviate from my last year analysis titled “What the 2011 elections portend for Nigeria”. All the outcomes indicate a first ballot victory for President Goodluck Jonathan. We may not go deeply here to unravel why it is so but suffix it to say that it will not be a surprise outcome for watchers of the Nigerian political system.

The first scenario is a peaceful conduct of the elections with adequate security, all the ballot materials arrive on time and all political are satisfied with arrangements made under transparent conditions with election observers pleased. Here the likely outcome will be a landslide victory for the President in 24 States with neck to neck performance in the remaining 6 states while the entire opposition will carry the last 6 states. The President is likely to post 25 percent votes in all the States.

The second scenario is where there is trouble in States arising from delayed materials delivery, violent clash of opponents, missing ballot boxes after voting, underage or hired voters in party strongholds, disenfranchisement of voters, fear of harm etc. In this case, the President will await the release of the last results to confirm his first ballot victory in the polls. All other will not fare any better because some states and local government area results will be delayed with the President maintaining a wide lead over the others but not yet sure of first ballot victory.

The final scenario comes about where the opposition boycotts some of or all the elections claiming bias from the security providers, or lack of transparency in collation of results and many of them have recorded evidence of irregularities which the international observers attest to. In that case there were fear of harm from voters and the turn out is low because of fuel scarcity, no movement imposition, banking failure, striking workers, terrorist threats, etc; then the President will win a landslide victory sweeping 29 States. If the election result is cancelled as not free and fair, and there is clamor for a rerun of the polls, the President returns to power for another span and will preside over the next preparations.

In the unlikely case that another political Party claims to have won the election and it is backed by the Independent Electoral Commission [INEC] then an independent arbitration is constituted to do a recount and they will accept some states and call for cancellation of other States with a more transparent arrangement put in place for the elections in six months or less. The President remains in Office with majority of the States in the bag until the arbitration confirms that actually the President had won the election with a larger figure than declared earlier and he would be congratulated by the opposition. At that time the President is magnanimous to announce a government of national unity in which the lieutenants of top opposition parties will accept appointment prior to decamping to PDP The above is the scenario that has been accepted by all the parties when they decided to join the process with eyes wide open realizing that it is likely to be the way it is. No one needs shed a tear for any one because every one was forewarned. This game is authored by the PDP and you don't expect ton play it better than this party under the same circumstances. When this writer was shouting himself hoarse last year, calling for a fundamental change in rules, I was regarded as not articulate enough and while I protested against constitutional bottlenecks as well as shallow electoral law, some of those who joined me to call for a Nigerian revolution sidelined me in their rush for positions. Refer to my articles “Nigeria needs a revolution”, “The constitutional basis for the rule of law in Nigeria” and “What the Nigerian Revolution is not about” I argued against the dangers of half hearted reform in Nigeria. To prove my conviction I stayed away from the process always but always providing guidance to ensure that we would at least have another chance to learn our lessons. I called for a peaceful revolution whereby the National assembly and the political class would come together to change all the obnoxious laws as well as the constitution in one fell swoop. While we agreed across board that a revolution was needed we disagreed over whether it should be peaceful or violent? Some believed that revolution comes with progressive elements in power and they yearned to take over through any means, the other school of thought wanted to pretend to join them so that as they get in there they would change things. I argued that it was better we did not hand the ruling party a blank cheque by endorsing their style, that it was better we forced their hands now we had the power to make concessions in terms of constitutional changes aimed at totally restructuring the polity before going into an election. I was promptly accused even though indirectly of wrong ideas. I remember vividly that Sahara Reporter literally barred my further contribution to their site, the same site where as columnist I called for a Nigerian Revolution. My offence was that I swarm against the tide seemingly. The tide ironically was the Jonathan empowerment which the site championed. I had urged for caution because I was there before but perhaps I was seen as trying to shine and many small would be greats did not see that happening in their site. Today this site [unfortunately] has changed its swan song almost going on 180 degrees within one year to becoming the biggest antagonist of the Jonathan Presidency. It goes to prove who was right at the outset and indicates how unsustainable these seemingly “bright” ideas are for Nigeria.

Today I am still saying the same thing despite the attack I received from all sides concerned. I am still saying that we should have used the rare opportunity of that time to write a brands new constitution unaffected by selfish desires or mediocrity.That we must revisit the constitiutional reform in President Jonathan's coming dispensation as the basis for any sustainable progress. I am still in support of a peaceful revolution not the Arab revolution which remains very uncertain of success despite the modicum of sacrifice expended. These Countries may either become Military dynasties or Islamic nations. If they toe the middle line they may not be better than they were before that is if they don't go through painful long drawn civil wars.We never wanted that for Nigeria.

[size=14pt]Call for violence: Jonathan warns Buhari, others [/size]
Written by Idowu Samuel, Abuja Wednesday, 23 March 2011

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan, on Tuesday, warned his co-presidential candidates to desist from calling for violence during the coming April polls, averring that candidature of a party never confers on anyone of them the right to make such calls.

Jonathan said he wanted his co-candidates to take his warning as a timely caution ahead of the elections, just as he said the desire of some presidential candidates to campaign on the basis of ethnicism and religion was a sign that those involved were frustrated.

Jonathan said he decided to build his presidential ambition on the plank of love after realising that the state of stagnation of the country and its attendant scant progress was caused by the absence of love, thus calling on all presidential candidates to direct their campaigns in a manner that will promote love, togetherness and understanding among Nigerians.

“Love has been missing for long in Nigeria and that is the reason the country had attained little progress. It is sad the more when some presidential candidates decide to base their campaigns on religion, ethnicism and violence. It is frustration that has been making such candidates to call for violence,”he said.

The president spoke during a meeting of the Igbo from the 19 northern states and the Federal Capital Territory with representatives of Neighbour to Neighbour Campaign Group for President Jonathan in Abuja.

Chief Godsday Orubebe, who delivered President Jonathan’s address during the event, said presidential race should not be anchored on a do or die spirit as he called on political actors to note that “every destiny has always been in the hands of God.”

The president’s spokesperson told the representatives of the Igbo that he, Jonathan, symbolised peace and the spirit of one Nigeria, given his humble background and willingness to further weld Nigeria together, just as he called on the Igbo nation to vote overwhelmingly for Jonathan during the presidential election.

He recalled that Jonathan who has only spent nine months in office had recorded laudable achievements, including ensuring peace and progress of the country, resolution of the Niger Delta crises, promotion of unity by basing government appointments on merit and fair representation.

GAR3TH:
Nigeria went for the F-7 because they are fairly cheap. . .and its similar to the Mig21 (in which nigeria operates) so its familiar to nigerian Pilots. Plus even with nigeria's old Mig21 we still dominate the skies of west-central africa. There is no threat to Nigeria, Its not like Ghana is going to attack us. so why buy expensive aircrafts like the F-22 which cost 150 million a jet or Su-33 which cost $55 Million a jet, when we already control the skies of west-central africa. Imaging if nigeria bought 20 su-33 jets, thats over 1 billion dollars. couldnt we use that 1 billion dollars for something else such as power. thats why nigeria bought 15 F-7 for $250 million which was reasonable. If Nigeria did buy su-33 or F-22 you guys will be arguing that Nigeria is wastefully spending.

It is reasoning like this that made SA disgrace us in our own backyard. Is it not Angola projecting strength on the same Ivory Coast in our backyard? Even Zimbabwe sold weapons to Gbagbo, and we couldn't cough. . . In our own backyard!!!
Who cares about dominating Central and West Africa? None of those countries is in our league financially (except Gabon, which has a smaller but more modern airforce than us). We should be speaking to Africa.

Becomrichn:
,

If you post any other picture, I will slap you.

You people and your foolish stories. The Wole Soyinka one nefa clear from una eyes yet, but una still de lie!

The last I heard of Ciroma people, was GEJ hunting down and locking the vultures up.

Genbuhari3:
Yes, I am listening.

When did it become the right of the police to determine where i associate with people? it does not happen in a democracy.

why was Jos shutdown by security agencies for Jonathan when he campaigned there? he has two heads.

You will not end up in a gutter, keep screaming and see yourself under the rail track of the Buhari Bakare Train, totally crushed. Because of people like you, we are awake in the midnight to crush your propaganda on the internet.

Jos is a very sensitive place. One would expect a presidential candidate to have some common sense and carry an aura of responsibility.

Dude, you are beginning to sound similar to a religious extremist. No sense in what you are saying, but you scream it anyway and your words are packed with premevial violent connotations.
If Buhari had heeded the call to stay away for the sake of security, 6 people wouldn't have had their lives cut short.

Instead of Buhari staying away, he turned up with his usual retinue of thugs and stone throwers. These miscreants proceeded to stab and beat people up, leading to the riot situation in which 6 died. Buhari has added to the death toll in Jos. You call that freedom of association?

GAR3TH:
The fighter jet does have ejector seats and one pilot did use it. In addition the jet isn't 'Shinko', Its fairly new with modern equipment. mechanical failure is usually the cause for most fighter jet crashes. Its because fighter jets are so complex in design.

https://cnair.top81.cn/trainer/FT-7NI2.jpg

It is not fairly new. Rather, it is based on the 1960's MIG 21, something from little after Hitlers time. In today's World, its a heap of waste metal at best.

I wonder how much that load of junk cost us? A country like Nigeria is meant to be much better armed, so that when we speak, the whole of Africa will salute, stand to attention and obey. Instead, we are like an impotent giant; the greatest example is how South Africa treated us in our own backyard, Ivory Coast.

All SA did was float one miserable warship to Ivory Coast, and all our huffing and puffing about a military intervention died out overnight. Just because, we have only scrap metal that can frighten only Liberians and Beninoise rag tag militia.

If cost is what made us stoop to buy that load of crap, there are cheap but highly capable fighter planes. This is the JF-17K stealth jet from China/Pakistan:

You accuse people of lying nwhen you are the liars, and this thread bears witness. You're smoking some funny shyte indeed.
Poor Wole Soyinka has even reported the matter to the police. What is wrong with you lowlifes? Why lie?


Even though we all know how daft you really are! Point out the lies from my statements about GEJ's years in government! In your typical delusion, you still fail to acknowledge that your pay masters has 12 years of wastefulness hanging around his neck!
I really pity your folks for indeed you have wasted there efforts, money and hard labour for sending you to school.

I might be daft (or wareva. lol), but I am not the one telling lies; lies so serious that our only Nobel Laureate has cryed out to the police. Dude, when will you guys stop lying, throwing stones, when will you get cerebral and sophisticated? So that you can [b]discuss [/b]with refined people like us?

opalu:
You talk of Buhari being an Illitrate?
You must be a Joker!!!!!!!!!!!
WILL U SAY THAT SINCE BILL GATES WAS A SCHOOL DROP-OUT, YOU WILL NOT ACCEPT A JOB FROM MICROSOFT OR USE THEIR PRODUCTS (OFCOUSE U USED A COMPUTER TO TYPE THE RUBBISH ABOVE)?

Buhari is indeed an illiterate and self confessed cattle rearer. I can bet you, he doesn't have the slightest clue of what "education system" means.

9ijaMan:
I'm just wondering how thisday's poll suddenly became "all polls".
Another thread to perpetuate falsehood.

Reading and comprehension are good skills to have, sir (notice the plural in the word, surveys below? ):

The surveys, published in Nigerian newspapers this week, vary widely in detail and scientific quality -- one claimed to have had 70 million SMS responses, roughly equivalent to every adult in the country -- but they broadly show a common trend.
