I can read your mind. . . And its freaky!

Not everything is state ran. You should go learn about your country!!! Is the government running globacom and MTN? The banks? How many private banks did we have back then? even with military rule? How can you say everything is state ran in Nigeria? You are clueless !!!

MTN and Globalcom, military regime in the same breadth? You must be like 12 or something. Go ask your daddy how old globacom and MTN are.
Also ask him why banks that aren't state run in some instances make the greater proportion of the money from govt rather than private business. Ask an older brother or sister about banks and exposure to petroleum funds.

Ibime:
I thought that when Sanusi announced Power fund, you mocked him as a generator provider. Now you are using it as evidence of Jonathan's good governance.

You have a long memory!
But you are mistaken sha.

That thread was about CBN actually getting involved in generating power. This is a totally different ball game, and part of a larger govt policy that also involves the petroleum sector.

The news of this fund was actually first broken by Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke and Minister of State for Power, Nuhu Wya after President Goodluck Jonathan had also approved a new reduced tariff for LNG customers.

Jonathan is Nigeria's new man of action. "NEPA don take light!" will soon be a distant memory and as the other half of a double blessing, Nigerians stand to gain from a market that is worth tens of billions.
These are the sort of serious steps the country needs to develop. What a guy!

[size=14pt]Central Bank sets up fund for Nigeria power, air sectors[/size]
(AFP) – 1 hour ago

[color=#ff0000]ABUJA — Nigeria's Central Bank on Tuesday said it has set up a 300 billion naira (1.6 billion euro, 2.0 billion dollar) fund to assist private investments in the power and aviation sectors.[/color]

"The purpose of the fund is to help sustain private sector investment in the two sectors," the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said in a statement.

[color=#ff0000]The amount is part of an initial 500 billion naira Power and Aviation intervention fund announced in April "in a bid to catalyze financing of the real sector of the Nigerian economy," it said.[/color]

The Central Bank added that the fund supports President Goodluck Jonathan's ongoing initiatives in the two sectors.

[color=#ff0000]Earlier this month, Jonathan pledged a 3.5-billion-dollar electricity grid for Nigeria, but gave few details on how the pre-election promise would be paid for. Elections are set for January in Nigeria.[/color]

Jonathan has made improved access to power a key goal in a country where electricity outages are a daily occurrence despite its huge oil resources. The government also wants to privatise parts of the power generation chain.

The country is meanwhile undertaking efforts to improve its aviation sector, which Aviation Minister Fidelia Njeze described on Monday in Abuja as "a catalyst to economic growth."

The new fund will be managed by the Bank of Industry, with African Finance Corporation serving as its technical adviser.

Companies wishing to participate must be duly registered and involved in electricity power generation, transmission, distribution and associated services, the statement said.

Any duly incorporated airline operating in Nigeria is also eligible to apply for seven percent loans from the funds.

Olodo. Jonathan has virtually all the extortionist 'awon boys' behind him at the moment . It will not be difficult to get them to 'behave' till the project is achieved. Yesterdays saboteurs becomes todays partner all with the target of everyone becoming bloated with wealth once Uncle Joe is fully in charge in 2011. I really pity you. Your "hard facts" are propagandist lies . [size=14pt]Start a thread now to ask[b] Nigerians [/b] about power supply in their area. Let us put propaganda to the test.[/size]

Are you this much of a joker? You haven't even been able to comment on the thread na_so pointed to you, yet you want a new one?
Maybe it would be one where some clown declares that Bode George is now in charge of power. Ode.

Go to that thread and argue that the people it refers to are yesterdays saboteurs turned into todays "extortionist 'awon boys'". Its the general public you are talking about here.
How you have come to the conclusion that "extortionist 'awon boys'" and "saboteurs" could have wrought the incredible savings families and businesses are making from the current power situation is totally beyond logic.

Charlie, if you take to clowning, you will most likely break many court jesting records. Damn!

[quote author=High_Chief link=topic=501536.msg6633888#msg6633888 date=1282680851]^^^Jonathan should just make you his campaign Chairman [/quote]Tnx for the wish.
I genuinely believe there is a lot of value in Jonathan, the full story is not being told, because we live in unusual times and he is a very quiet gentleman. As his campaign unfolds, we should begin to see many more positives.

Gbawe:
[size=14pt]I saw the thread but it is not worth commenting on. Power supply can be boosted artificially , with very little effort , because of the sheer corruption and cabalism that ensures that , even if insufficent , what we generate is distributed at far below optimal level. [/size]

The articles permeating cyberspace about increase in power supply are distorted IMO because my area of Surulere has not seen significant improvement. This is mere Propaganda similar to how Yar Adua was labelled the "most fiscally responsible Governor in Nigeria" .

An enduring solution to our power woes will only be secured by a Government that understands the need for privatisation that must be aided by the drastic reduction of corruption in energy generation, transmission and distribution through a total and unbending commitment to the principle that the power sector must not be an area where "awon boys must chop" . OBJ's daughter (Iyabo) 'won' contracts under OBJ's NIPP scheme despite the fact that she has no experience in the sector at all. !!! That is what we will see under Jonathan despite all cleverly articulated plans and propaganda . We have seen similar "laudable" endeavours fail in the past because the will to fight corruption was absent while deciet and double-speak was abundant.

Damn! Each time I want to have a good laugh, all I have to do is look at one of Gbawe's ridiculous and voluminous alphabet collections. Damn!
It's so easy to boost power supply artificially. . . and nobody has done it all these years!!!! Wow!!!

Na wa o!

That thread is full of hard facts as told by real families and business people, but e be like say you de like only threads were lies de yanfun yanfun! Those ones are "worth your comment." Hmmmmmmmm.

Ikengawo:
some of the faces on the nigerian currency are of figures that the nigerian populace generally detest, and i dont think this is right since they imposed their own image on them when they were dictating the nation.
some faced i'd like to see replace some of the dubious ones are


Fela Kuti

and Gowon, Babangida and Abacha removed

This thread is so funny, I almost chocked!

walata44:
Anyone in power in Nigeria can easily do that. Nigeria is full of sycophant that can k*** your **s because you are in power.

He is from a region that has very little presence in the army. And it was the army that was used against him, I don't know of any place on Earth where it is easy to overcome an army. Lets be realistic, those that k*** your **s do not wrestle the army into line, lets have realistic arguments.

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=279117.msg6632993#msg6632993 date=1282671425]did you just pick on my reply simply because that is the only part you don't agree with ? The federal government control the trade and so you can't disregard the fact that a federal account was not in existence simply because you couldnt find such on the net.
Emphasis was made on cocoa and groundnut as they were the MAJOR exporting commodities and oil palm may not have been regarded as such.Even in todays world,virtually all agricultural produces are still being exported including other non-oil commodities but the impression the government keep giving us is that we are over-depending on oil simply because oil is being traded as the majority commodity.this is not about tribalism at all[/quote]You only know about cocoa and groundnuts because of tribalism. What about rubber and palm oil?
Do you even realise that Nigeria owes its existence to palm oil? Go find out about the Royal Niger Company, its place in the British Empire and what it traded.

Check articles on Nigeria's history such as this one; 4 references to palm oil and 10 to petroleum and ZERO to cocoa or groundnuts - http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?ParagraphID=plt

Stop manufacturing history out of tribalism. Your counter arguments to "cocoa derivation formula" hold no water. defeated.

walata44:
What has he done since he came to power? I don't see any significant achievement he has made to deserve anyones vote. All the crooks are still walking the street of Nigeria free with their looted wealth.

His first priority was to stabilise the control after the Yar Adua imbroglio. Or aren't you aware there was an incredibly serious problem that could have led to war?
He will definitely go after the crooks in 2011. International agreements have already been made. Wait and see.

Gbawe:
You have discredited yourself so much that I am beginning to feel sorry for you.  If the article you provide is true , then Jonathan  is politically naive along with his many rabid supporters.  The opponents of Jonathan will have a field day showing Mr.President's lack of honour and integrity with his insistence that his campaign manager must be from the North while he tries to defy the constitutional provision of the PDP that the 2011 President must be a Northerner.

Pointless trying to argue the notion of abiding principles with you since you are the same chap that lied that the PDP had "zoned the Presidency to the SS" when the political Party had merely concluded that Jonathan can run as an appendage of the Northern ticket of Yar Adua.

What in Gods name are rattling on about? Have you seen the topic title? Did you read the article?
Charlie, e be like say you get comprension problem o!

@topic
This is the real problem with dishonest papers like the sun that has been publishing false stories about Jonathans campaign .
Its IBB's 10 milla gifts.

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=279117.msg6632787#msg6632787 date=1282669644]And you keeping asking me about cocoa derivation fund as if i was existing over 50 years ago.cocoa was a federal government commodity traded and you can't disconnect the money being shared among the federating regions in as much as the money went to the federal government purse.
I don't have anything against the niger delta region but i do have a problem with people that capitalize on a flawed system to rip off the common man in the region.The resource control agitation was given a higher tone by the likes of Victor when he was governor using his influence as chairman of the governors' forum to champion the cause until the present 13% was agreed upon.fine nd better,he went through a good process and he achieved something purposeful.why would MEND kidnapped people and release them after collecting ransome,vandalise oil pipeline and steal crude oil only to claim that it was seeking government intervention by doing so and at the end of the day,they all become rich men while the problems they were agitating against keep piling.
We must be sincere to ourselves if we want the issue of niger delta to be solved and frank opinions may look tribalistic at times.[/quote]I don't want to detract from the expected whopping you are getting, but you really should attempt to answer that question. You also need to consider other questions like, was there an oil palm trade in the ND, and was it more or as important as cocoa? Cos it looks like history is being manufactured in your replies. . . But its the usual tribalist tinted lenses.

When oil was discovered more than 50 years ago, were you in existence? If not, why do you think you are competent to discuss it by your own warped excuse?

Sky Blue:
The amusing thing is that I keep saying we run a federal system in theory but are very much a communist state (except without the sharing of wealth with the people and all the good parts of communism). We are practising federalism and running a very corrupted and novel communism. Nigeria we hail thee 

We are communo-capitalo-federalists! lol
God alone can give a name to whatever it is Nigeria is practising.

In every other federal system on Earth the local govt equivalent is the driver of revenue generation. In Nigeria, they are little better than scroungers, hanging around for money from the state, provided direct from Abuja.
The govts devesting off first telecoms, and now power supply is a very welcome direction for the country. It will gradually lead to the "privatisation" of states and local govts, so they too can generate wealth, quality of life and Abuja can free itself from micro-managing to handling strictly national issues such as the military and policy direction.
In developed countries, power supply is totally out of the presidents hands; in several cases power is even generated at local govt level. nigeria's case is ridiculous, but thankfully we are slowly waking up.

Gbawe:
Beaf, I am surprised to see that you are quick to post this article . In your desperation to dispel the Alamayeseigha rumour you miss what is very obvious: Jonathan is zoning the position of campaign manager to the North !!!! Jonathan , of all people, should not be saying that he has "settled for a Northerner" as his campaign Manager because than means , in essence , Jonathan will subscribe to zoning of office , rather than stick with meritorious appointment consistently, if he is the beneficiary. This action seems to bear out the argument of those who proclaim that Jonathan does not have abiding principles.

Some would argue that precisely what is written above could be stated by those in defence of zoning the Presidency !!!! Acting honourably all the time is the only way to ensure you don't look like you lack hounourand integrity in future.

I'm sorry, but your post doesn't make any sense to me. How does the work of fiction above relate to any matter in this thread or in the article?
I don't get it, are you trying to outdo sunnews in the ability to make up falsehoods?
Na wa o!

--Shudders--

IBB with a 10 million Naira "roger" for press men!!!

9jaganja:
hahahahahah. State run water system? When everyone had boreholes and wells? State ran refineries? Which private investor was able to invest? Which was capable back then? I guess Dangote's company was state ran too right? All those private companies that produced bread and ton of common commodities were state ran too right?

Capitalism is evil!! I'm for real economy dude!! Capitalism that made American companies sell weapons to hitler and supply amunitions to the same terrorist America is going after. Yeah the capitalism that means you can do business with your nation's enemy because regulations are taboos.

Company profits were suppose to benefit every member of the company not pay people petty prices and go home with a massive while your employees are finding it hard to sustain themselves. That is capitalism. I'm all for private investors but take capitalist mentality out of it first. Nigeria is extremely capitalist that is why people work in bad conditions and get paid pennies while their ogre is having the best times of his life. If they get hurt at work, no benefits most don't even get treatments cause it's every man for himself right? Nigeria is capitalist on the extreme end of the stick. That is the truth. I can go to Nigeria, make billions and go home with my money without improving the lives of the people that made my billion dollars dream come true.

The number nation on this planet isn't capitalist!! Bush pushed the capitalist agenda during his tenure that landed him in the black book of America. Shell is enjoying Nigeria's capitalism. That is why their spills don't need clean ups. America gave some companies bail out money and what happened? Some execs gave themselves huge bonuses out of the public money cause regulations doesn't apply!! We work together and enjoy and suffer the benefits and pains together not we work for you while you enjoy the benefits alone!! That is a bad idea.!!

Learn about your country before spewing hogwash. If you don't know everything in Nigeria is state run from Abuja, then you aren't fit to comment in the politics section.

adconline:
To date, Nigeria has made about $500 billion from oil and doesn't have anything to show for it because it did not invest in public infrastructure not as a result of fuel subsidy, but because of corruption. A govt that doesn't take care of its citizens, no social security, unemployment benefits, epileptic power supply, the list is endless is complaining about subsidy of oil that is dug from our back yard. I'm telling you that oil is not cheap already in Nigeria. If the govt stops their so called subsidies, the money will go into private bank accounts in Dubai and Switzerland.

Govts give out subsidies all over the world. UK subsidizes NHS, US govt pays out $.50 for every $1 the US farmers make, Amtrack is US govt run, France controls it energy company, RSA controls Eskom. In Venezuela govt provides social services to her citizens. Who does my mum have for kerosene based on NYMEX ascribed value while she gets paid peanuts in Nigerian Naira? Prices of things will fly because there is no govt public transport system in Naija.

OBJ spent billions in purchasing president jets, a couple of years later GEJ wants to spend about $200 million for the same venture. The problem with Naija is not subsidy, but govt full of fat cats. Our daily bpd consumption is less then 200,000 barrels , so it's drop a in the ocean if Nigerians would enjoy our given resources at a reasonable price. It's like a fisherman charging his family the highest price his fish could sell in international market even though his family was part of the labor in employed for the fishing.

What I can gathre from the above is that we should be getting free or subsidised electricity. That will never work, end off.
Nigeria gives more subsidies through our planlessness, eg the population does not pay taxes. What greater subsidy can there be than not paying taxes?

This year, for the first time in its history, the NNPC has been audited and reorganised in such a way that it is serving Nigeria, rather than private pockets. We've got to take our steps one at a time. A sovereign wealth fund is being set up so the govt can invest oil money, instead of govt foolishly spending as has been the case up to now. But these changes take time, however, it is sure that they are being delivered.

The question is, why are these corrupt deadwoods so desperate?

Sahara reporters seems to have been hacked, but here is a quote all the same.

[size=14pt]Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida-Murders, Corruption and Destruction Of Nigeria [/size]

In his latest effort to capture the loyalty of the national press and ensure optimal coverage in their pages, former Nigerian dictator Ibrahim Babangida ferried some of the country's top media execs to a lavish press conference under the stars at his Hilltop Mansion in Minna, Niger State.

While at it, he praised the professionals for their skill at the craft and invoked his love for the free press. The journalists, overcome perhaps by the kind words, took the bait. No unpleasant questions, like why would he close down newspaper houses and murder a top journalist -Dele Giwa- via a letter bomb? Babangida responded to the question anyway. He told his distinguished guests that his respect for the "sanctity of life" would not have permitted him to kill journalist Giwa. His visitors (mostly editorial board chairs of major media houses in Nigeria) then passed over another opportunity to ask: why would he kill his friend, Mamman Vatsa, over a fake coup plot?

Too good an item to keep this curious meeting under wraps, word soon leaked out that IBB gave these journalists N10 million as "transport fare". Some of these men and women swiftly reached out to SaharaReporters to debunk the part of our story that they got N10 million each,  some honestly admitted that they got a paltry gift of N250,000 from the "Evil Genius. Our accountants have told us that going by the number of 40 journalists in attendance, we are still around the same ballpark of N10 million. Plus, IBB handlers said the general doesn't pay his bribes at once, so, he considers that with this partial payment, favorable reporting in the press throughout his already doomed presidential campaign should be considered a "layaway".

Could this be another IBB set-up of the national media chiefs?

[size=14pt]Jonathan to pick northerner as campaign chief[/size]
Font size:   Yusuf Alli, Abuja 24/08/2010 02:20:00

DESPITE threats from governors, President Goodluck Jonathan is expected to declare his interest in next year’s poll in early September.

But no date has been fixed yet by his strategists, who are still consulting those to be appointed as members of the campaign team.

As part of preparations for his declaration, there were indications yesterday that the President may have settled for a northerner to serve as Director-General (DG) of his campaign.

Investigation by The Nation revealed that after consultations with his strategists, it was agreed that the President should brave the odds and declare his ambition.

It was learnt that three candidates have been short-listed for the post of DG of the President’s campaign organisation. The President will choose one of the three.

The issue formed a major discussion at the review meeting President’s with his team at the weekend.

A source, who spoke in confidence, said: "Wherever the opposition is coming from, the President has made up his mind to declare interest in the 2011 presidential race.

"The President has been fair to all stakeholders, including governors, by putting them into confidence on his aspiration and why he needs their support.

"At the meeting, the President and his strategists settled for either first or second week in September to declare his intent, depending on the timetable of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and guidelines from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

"They have not firmed up the actual date that the President would make his declaration."

Responding to a question, the source added that the President’s campaign team is being constituted ahead of the declaration.

He said: "Very soon, a Director-General will be appointed out of the three candidates already recommended to the President.

"The three candidates are still being screened but one thing I am sure of is that whoever is the eventual Campaign Director-General will be a northerner.

"The challenge at hand for the President is how to make an inroad into the North. And events in the last few weeks have shown appreciable progress on the part of the President in terms of reaching out to the North.

"The President wants the coordinator of his campaign to come from the North to underscore his determination to unite the country."

It could not be immediately ascertained if the choice of a northerner as Campaign DG is being informed by the alleged snatching of Dr. Raymond Dokpesi (who was initially favoured by Jonathan’s camp) by ex-President Ibrahim Babangida’s group.

Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are expected to meet today in Abuja as part of the search for a consensus presidential candidate among them for their party’s primaries.
