Power generation

Zimbabwe, with a population of 12.5 million produces 1,100 MW, that is 0.088 KW per person.
Nigeria with a population of 140 million produces 3,000 MW, or 0.02 KW per person.
Which country is doing better?

A zimbabwean gets 4 times more electricity than a Nigerian, thats why they don't have crazy power cuts like us. Damn! Truth is bitter, we need to batten down before we point fingers at others. The average Nigerian is living in hell.

[size=14pt]How Jonathan Made Nigeria Proud In Washington DC[/size]
From Laolu Akande, Washington DC

THERE are indications Nigeria's dwindling fortunes on the global scene may have started to undergo a positive turnaround, especially at the United States and the United Nations, according to informed sources.

According to feelers, Acting President Goodluck Jonathan's recent visit to the United States may have offered Nigeria a new lease of life in the US and on the wider global scene, going by comments in Washington DC about the four-day visit from Sunday to Wednesday, last week.

[b]Jonathan, who simply became the toast of the US capital city on arrival, last Sunday "met all who mattered" in Washington DC and was actively sought after by several US groups and international agencies. In all the meetings, opened to public, there were not enough rooms for Nigerians and Americans, diplomats, businessmen, top officials and others who wanted engagement with the Nigerian leader.

At one of the several meetings to which the Acting president was invited on Wednesday, hosted by the Corporate Council for Africa, CCA, a Caucasian American attendee, stood up and openly declared that the Acting President Jonathan has within a few days in the US "repaired the reputation of Nigeria" by his visit and the level and warmth of welcome that he enjoyed. A ready applause from the luncheon room greeted the observation.

Besides, while the Acting President was returning, the deputy assistant Secretary of State for Africa, William Fitzgerald, said publicly on Thursday, in Washington DC, that "Nigeria is important to stability and progress worldwide, as well in Africa," emphasising the closeness of U.S.-Nigeria ties.

"Nigeria is very important," Fitzgerald, stressed, adding that, "on the continent, it is the most populous nation, the largest contributor of peacekeepers, the largest producer of oil, and the largest recipient of direct investment by the American private sector."

"Whether providing critical leadership in ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States), engagement in West Africa, or, from the perspective of its current seat on the U.N. Security Council, Nigeria plays a role far beyond its own borders," the U.S. official added, corroborating what, according to observers, indicates the final restoration of a positive rhetoric from the US government on Nigeria.

In a particular instance, two leading US business groups were competing for longer periods of time to host the Acting President in the US capital city, indicating what government officials, both in the US and Nigeria, say is a new window of opportunity for Nigeria's image abroad.

CCA, a think tank for US-based business concerns and leaders in Africa and the Atlantic Council, a competing council, battled for influence as the latter was almost being sidelined in favour of the CCA, until an influential US-based Nigerian threw his weight behind the Atlantic Council.

In the end, Dr. Jonathan met both councils on the last day of his visit, and in the event, even the former world-renowned American folk hero, retired war general and former secretary of State Colin Powell, showed up at the Atlantic Council meeting with the Acting President.

At the White House, informed sources say the new Nigerian Ambassador, Professor Ade Adefuye, had impressed it upon the US President on the need to personally receive the Nigerian Acting president during the summit, an idea Obama was said to have readily agreed to.[/b]

Also the new Ambassador tabled the issue of the terror watch list, explaining Nigeria's determination to be a positive voice against terrorism well before the Abdulmutallab incident in December. The Ambassador was reported to have explained at the White House that an anti-terrorism bill was already before the National Assembly, even before the last year Christmas day terror attempt in Detroit.

Few days after, the US government announced new airport security measures, which meant Nigeria and Nigerians were no longer singled out for enhanced airport screening. Within a week of that announcement, a visit to Nigeria was set up by the US Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, whose department had, in January, made the determination to include Nigeria and Nigerians under the enhanced airport screening after the Abdulmutallab incident.

About the same time the State Department announced that the US government was also now ready to grant a long-held request of Nigeria for the resumption of a US-Nigerian Bi-national Commission, which had been in place between the two countries in the era of Bill Clinton as President but was suspended afterwards during the George W. Bush tenure.

US government sources say Nigeria is the first country in Africa under the Obama administration to enjoy such an agreement. It was signed just a week ahead of the Jonathan visit. Incidentally, soon after Nigeria signed the Bi-National Commission with the US, the South Africans also quickly got a similar deal with the US government, which was announced last Thursday after the departure of the Acting President. The US-South African agreement was named a Strategic Dialogue, raising press enquiries at the State Department that this was happening so soon after the US-Nigerian Bi-National Commission.

It was gathered that even the United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, sent words that he would like to personally meet and know the Acting President, while he, the UN leader, was also in town attending the US sponsored Nuclear Security summit. Ban offered to assist Nigeria, while soliciting more support from the Nigerian government to support international peacekeeping.

Besides, Ban Ki-moon even offered that he would be visiting the Acting President in Abuja in June. That would be the first time he would be traveling to Nigeria since he assumed the office in 2007. Apart from that, he requested the Acting president to attend his own UN Summit on the MDGs in September, when the General Assembly summit will be holding at the headquarters of the world body in New York.

Similarly, apart from meeting the US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, on the first day of his arrival, last week, Dr. Jonathan was immediately invited the next day to also have lunch with the US Vice President Joseph Biden, among few other selected leaders attending the Nuclear summit, at the official residence of the US Vice President.

On the same day the Acting President also met with top World Bank officials, including President Robert Zoellick, who offered a fresh hand of partnership to the Nigerian government on several sectoral issues, especially on power.

At the end of the week in Washington DC/Maryland region, Nigeria's Acting President's name had become a pop quiz question on a popular Baltimore FM radio station 88.1-the question was "whose country's president's name starts with the word Goodluck?"

Katsumoto:
Beaf,

Why did Hamilton have to pit four times against two for Button? I joined the race late.

You missed a lot! It was seriously exciting!

Lewis started on dry's and made a conservative choice (like 80-90 percent of the other drivers) to change to intermediates when the initial rain came down, while Button (and Rosberg) elected to gamble on it and tip toe around on dry's.
Buttons choice was 100% luck as the rain stopped only 3 laps later and the guys on inters started hurting and having to go in for dry's (that Lewis 2, Button 0).
Later on in the race, the rain came down again and both Lewis and Button had a tyre change (Lewis 3, Button 1); after the rain died down their tyre's wore out quickly and they both needed to get another fresh pair of boots (Lewis 4, Button 2).

chic2pimp:
Dude you predicted the Lewis and Rosberg position right

The Mclarens have gone ahead of the Ferraris in the constructor's title race.
Here is hoping it ends that way though I won't bet my life savings on that being the case.
Those Dudes @ Mclaren Mercedes allows seem to press the self destructive button when things are going right.

All in all the Mclarens were right on the money with their race strategy.
Things could not have gone any better for them(Their first 1 -2 of the season and surely first of many to come)

Yeah, hail the oracle! grin

But Alonso's engine didn't blow up as predicted. embarassed

You're right about McLaren, they really seem to have a set of grenades they chuck into their own garage at random intervals. Great team though, I love them!
If Lewis had been braver with his strategy, this would have benn his race; but he's been forced into a more conservative mode by the barrage of criticism he recieved from all quarters in the first couple of years; even the British didn't like him until he'd shown spirit in a poor car last year.

If the dump dwellers weren't there, regardless of BBC's intentions, they would have either have found something more positive to broadcast or they would have simply gone away.

Lets take care of our mess, its there, we can see it and so can the BBC. For those asking if there aren't slums in the UK, I challenge you to produce photographic evidence of places equivalent to Makoko, Olusosun dump or even Ajegunle (as a milder example). They take care of their droppings; in London, run down areas like Lewisham, Brixton and Peckham are subject to very aggressive regeneration policies. The package is total, businesses are given insentives, new housing is created, while derelict apartments are torn down and their inhabitants compensated and rehoused.
The worst anyone can come up with are cases were the council or social security have stepped in to end filthy living by the mentally unstable.

Jakumo:
Former military dictator Ibrahim Babangida, during 8-year his rule during the 1908s, did exceed his constitutional powers as the head of a SECULAR nation, by secretly signing Nigeria on as a chartered member of the Organization of Islamic Countries. That ILLEGAL act was and is a clear indication of Babangida's pro-Islamic political ideology, and is well worth a mention now that this documented Islamist once again aspires to hold the reins of absolute power in Nigeria.

Western democracies currently toying with the idea of offering clandestine support for a Babangida 2011 presidency, on account of the retired generals perceived "experience" as a head of state, would do well to seriously reconsider backing that particular horse, given the ever-present peril posed by global Islamic fundamentalism, and the growing strategic significance of sub-Saharan Africa in that context.

Indeed, IBB's desperate religious bias is one of the many things that rule him out.
His past at the helm of government shows several such dangerous decisions and actions. One of his worst attributes is telling lies at the drop of a hat. We deserve better than a congenital lier vying for the highest office.

Attack vector? Who's attacking who? And why bring matrix into the picture? Maybe, you believe I'm from the "cabal" side! I must quickly say, I'm 100% Niger Deltan. I'm a proud one at that! I'm also proudly Nigerian! We can only make progress when we demand the best of everything from our leaders, irrespective of their tribal colorations. For far too long, we've been coccooned within the limited shells of our circumstantial ethnic origins, and we tend to only see things from that narrow prism. That blinds us from the bigger picture and our potential ability to "reach the skies" and "break the glass ceiling" given the abundance of our resources. It's the reason we must be vigilant, refuse to praise-sing them into stupor and demand as of right, that they harness our abundant endowments to serve us well and above all, give us the right to freely chose who is best to be our leader. Goodluck is just one out of millions of other very good people who have the capacity to give us effective leadership. I have nothing against him. If he does well, I'll thank him and if he gets a less-than-good outing, we should be willing to have our say so. That would make him sit up and ultimately lead him to becoming a better leader!

One of Nigeria's most serious problems is corruption.

In order to oil the wheels (so to speak grin
