CommonSense1967:
The same Reno that your Agulu Conman responded to when he exposed the fact that he didn't build any school?

Show me just one link where Obi responded directly to Reno mockery about 'not building any school' NOT all these 'schoolboy' and outdated propaganda from your copy and paste WhatsApp group coordinator who lacks com.mo.n sen.se like you since 1967!

Reno talk from now till ever,Obi will never reply or respond to you because you are too inconsequential in the grand scheme of things!

The only reason why apc recruited you is just to keep you quiet as they simply hate to be scrutinized!

If at all balablu gets what he is looking for in 2027,he will banish you into oblivion because you are loyal to no one but your tummy!

I have said it before that marriage is not for everyone!
If a man intends getting married,he should know that his basic responsibility to his woman is to provide,protect and procreate!
A woman must also know that her basic responsibility is to serve and respect her man while maintaining the home!
If you know you cannot do these basic requirements,just stay away from marriage!
No be by force!

mrvitalis:
So production economy means lack of import ? Can you make wine in Nigeria? Do you have the comparative advantage?

The biggest producing nations are the top importers also

Una no really go school abi na hatred dey block una head?

Don't mind them!
Even the equipments that will be used to produce locally are mostly imported!
Most of these guys supporting apc are terribly analphabetic!

The one who sent emefiele to print excess monies is around!
Why are they afraid of Buhari?

codemaniacs:
you're the confused one.

State the part that is confusing you or Go back to that hole you crawled out from!

codemaniacs:
you are the one confusing yourself for constantly responding to people who hates T1nubu and the Yoruba nation and who would never see anything good in what Yoruba people do and what T1nubu does...

unless you are quoting yourself intentionally to sway public opinion.

Unrelated regurgitations!
Refute my 'confused' comments or crawl back to where you came from!

Celestialsword:
We are missing it,We need community policing and not state police

When there is state policing,community policing is easier to implement!

We need state police in Nigeria not a quasi representation of state policing!
Just like electricity law before it was decentralized,the FG cannot protect every one in each state hence there is a need to decentralize policing!
This will actually solve half of our security problems!

otherway:
No sir,

Buhari SIGNED THE AMENDED CONSTITUTION meaning he accented that the constitution should be amended.

Now Tinubu has actually signed the bill (not constitution) to allow state do the task.

Now the state will now individually sign their own bill on how to go about it.

Sir you are confusing yourself with the use of legislative terms!
Buhari signed the amended electricity law!

In other words,electricity was under the control of the FG through the national grid!
After the law was amended in 2023 through the signing of Buhari,the control is now UNDER the authority of the states!

If you say Tinubu signed a bill into law...what is the name of the bill?
If it's electricity bill,then that has already been signed by Buhari in 2023 and any other electricity bill that is identical to what was sign by Buhari is tantamount to repetition which I believe is Tinubu trying to take credit for what Buhari did!

Yet one ignorant apc supporter claimed Tinubu is the best president Nigeria ever had!

aribisala0:
You are trying to confuse people
The only thing Tinubu did was Generate via Enron
Enron generated 270 MW
There was no law stopping him and he did that
This happened at the Egbin Thermal plant in Lagos

It was NOT INDEPENDENT

The electricity went to the National Grid

That is where Tinubu's plan fell apart he wanted to to keep the electricity in Lagos State and he could not The electricity was shared by the FG

So what exactly is your point

You are most definitely the one confusing yourself with your disjointed and uncoordinated comments!

The intention of Tinubu was not just to generate a power plant but to distribute to Lagos citizens which wasn't possible as there was an existing law that only authorized FG to provide electricity through the national grid which Tinubu was fully aware of as he was once a former senator!

Hence,there was no reason for Tinubu to persuade Obasanjo as that power lied in the legislative arm of government not the executive that Obasanjo belonged to!

aribisala0:
You argue that
He is overwhelmed and trying to pass electricity to the states

But that is not true you are even contradicting yourself with Buharis's legislation

If this has been in the works under Buhari how does that square with your argument that THE THING PASS AM

You are just bitter and spiteful

This must be the most disjointed comment I have ever read!
You were either drunk when you typed this or you were on drugs!

aribisala0:
Let me explain what happened at Egbin

There are gas pipelines fron the Niger Delta that end at Egbin which is the biggest plant in Nigeria

Enron was brought there with the consent of the FG

They brought in their turbines and connected to the same gas to generate 270 Megawatts. This happened in short time. 270 Megawatts is no joke Kainji is 750.


You have nothing sensible to say

😄😄
Please what are you actually saying?

Well atleast in all your uncoordinated comments,you have admitted that it wasn't the position of Obasanjo to alter the constitution as that authority is vested in the national assembly!
Hence Tinubu was at best grandstanding when he brought a generating plant that didn't serve it's purpose until Buhari altered the electricity act in 2023!

Was this not the same jersey that was making sooje to carry face for topher?
Guy was just behaving like a lady

He will soon navigate to his second country!

I don't need 4 more characters!

aribisala0:
You are bitter and hateful

You need sides to have meaning in your life

Tinubu is not my paymaster
If He was I would be proud.
My record on this forum show where I stand on him

This issue is for me not about Tinubu just facts

Tinubu did not build an independent plant

That is why I asked you to inform yourself

Stop making noise

Enron was operating At the same location where the NEPA plant in Egbin was .

There was no way they could have done that without Federal government consent

Stop making noise go and find out what actually happened

It was generating power alongside NEPA and that was going to the National grid. Under the rules at the time that was Okay

ENRON WAS GENERATING 270 Megawatts of Power IN EGBIN
Repeat Egbin. why is that important. It was INSIDE A NEPA PLANT

Tinubu then tried to persuade Obasanjo to take it to the next level with legislation which had actually been informally agreed by that time they had fallen out and it could not happen

Enron was also involved in a scandal and had financial difficulties

So my point in summary is when Tinubu was governor he had articulated this vision and taken steps

That was in response to



No even when he was governor he had always been aligned in that direction

This was a response a replied...hope you remember?

When Tinubu was governor he tried to generate power in Lagos state. He brought in a company called ENRON and Obasanjo did everything to frustrate it.

This was my response...

Why would Tinubu do an independent power system knowing fully well that there was an existing law stopping him from providing power to his citizens then?[/b]
That's simply grandstanding!
Obasanjo didn't stop him!
The 1999 constitution then where electricity law was on the exclusive list stopped him!

Now this was now your ignorant response showing you actually have no idea what you are saying ...

There was no law stopping him doing what he did so research

If there was no law stopping Tinubu,why was he unable to generate,transmit and distribute to Lagos residents?

Your final response...

Tinubu then tried to persuade Obasanjo to take it to the next level with legislation which had actually been informally agreed by that time they had fallen out and it could not happen

Why should Tinubu persuade Obasanjo to take the next level of legislation?
Was Obasanjo a senator or represented the legislative arm of government?😃

Nairaland sef

After all the prevarication,you just admitted that it wasn't the job of Obasanjo to alter the electricity act but the legislative arm of government!

Finally,it's not hard to know a die hard apc supporter!

AI Overview

Yes, President Muhammadu Buhari signed the Electricity Act into law, which allows Nigerian states to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity within their respective territories, even within the national grid. This act essentially decentralizes the electricity sector, giving states greater autonomy in power generation and distribution.


Here's a more detailed explanation:
Constitutional Amendment:

The act amends the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria, specifically altering the Concurrent Legislative List to grant states the power to legislate on electricity matters.

State Powers:
This means states can now make laws regarding electricity generation, transmission, and distribution within their borders.

National Grid:
The amendment allows states to operate within the national grid system, which was previously a federal domain.

Potential Benefits:
This decentralization is intended to create a more dynamic electricity market, potentially leading to increased investment, job creation, and improved access to electricity, particularly in rural areas.

Regulatory Framework:
While states have more power, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) still plays a role in regulating the electricity industry.

Impact on Consumers:
The planned increase in electricity tariffs could impact consumers, but the increased competition and access to electricity might also lead to more affordable and reliable power.

So why did Tinubu need to sign the same electricity act twice?
Is he trying to take credit for what Buhari had already done?

otherway:
Buhari signed the amended bill but Tinubu has now signed into law the actual bill to finally allow states 100% control.

Now the last step is for the states to actually pass the state laws governing transmission, Generation and distribution.

This is what the governmt should have done since 1960.

Gradually, Nigeria is getting it right in terms of stable electricity

What you just implied is that what Tinubu signed into law is no different from what Buhari did in 2023 where the amended act gave states the authority or licence to generate,transmit and distribute electricity!
This is simply a duplicated electricity act and an attempt to take the shine or credit from Buhari!

Tinubu should concentrate on state policing,resource control,electoral reforms....

aribisala0:
If you don't know what happened it is better to be silent and then do some research

There was no law stopping him doing what he did so research

What you are doing here now is grandstanding



Was Tinubu president when the Aba power plant started
Had this new legislation been signed?
Inform yourself before you talk

🤣🤣
You are actually the ignorant one here!

As at the time,your paymaster Tinubu built his glamorous IPP, electricity law was under the exclusive list!
In other words,there was already an existing law in the 1999 constitution that stopped states from generating,transmitting and distributing electricity!

What was obtainable as at the time Tinubu build the independent plant was a national grid controlled by the FG!
Tinubu was governor from 1999-2007 in case you have forgot!


This act was later amended in 2023 when former president Buhari signed the electricity bill to an act making states to have the authority to generate,transmit and distribute electricity to their domain!

It was this new act by the former president that enabled abia state to start generating, transmitting and distributing to the abia residents using the gas turbine that the former president GEJ had built and commissioned during his regime!
Before that,the abia state turbine was connected to the national grid not to the abia residents!

These days,there is no point arguing when there are available mediums to verify such!

aribisala0:
Some people are naturally bitter and hateful


When Tinubu was governor he tried to generate power in Lagos state. He brought in a company called ENRON and Obasanjo did everything to frustrate it.

No matter what you say a number of key strategic moves have been made under this government

The same Obasanjo went to a Paris court to testify about the Mambilla Plateau project. Now that court case is soon to be resolved and that project will start.

No one can accuse this government of not having a vision for power
I am not even a supporter of TInubu but the hatred is too much

He is in power for the next 2 years and must be supported whether you like it or not

The SW already has a plan for power . If you like do not hold your regional governors to account . Continue beefing

Why would Tinubu do an independent power system knowing fully well that there was an existing law stopping him from providing power to his citizens then?
That's simply grandstanding!
Obasanjo didn't stop him!
The 1999 constitution then where electricity law was on the exclusive list stopped him!

TheBillyonaire:
Finally, for doing this, I will register to vote for Tinubu in the next election. He has done what I wanted all my life. I trust my State to disconnect us from the national grid since we already have a power plant that can run the state 247. Band A is almost 247 but I am hoping with States in charge, we will enjoy some form of subsidy for manufacturing.

So which electricity act was signed by Buhari in 2023?

DMerciful:
You think abdicating responsibility is the way to fix power?

Tinubu said if he cannot fix power in 4yrs, he should not be voted for

Interestingly,this act has already been signed by Buhari in 2023!
I still don't understand signing the same act in 2025!
Abi e wan claim Buhari glory?

What we should presently be anticipating from the president is the signing of the decentralization and autonomy of the policing system.

Full autonomy of the electoral system.

Resource control

Decentralization of ports!

Removal of the authority of the president to select and appoint the CJN.

Full autonomy of the LGA chairmen!

What I see is just a duplication!
This same electricity act has already been signed by the former president!

So which electricity act or amendment did the former president Buhari sign into law in 2023?

WizardOfNG:
Bounce abeg.

🤣🤣
Last kicks of a dying horse!
I didn't expect much from a glorified apc m.ini.on!

WizardOfNG:
You people fond making these simplistically asinine arguments, and others such as "go and buy petrol at APC/Tinubu petrol station for 100 Naira per litre", are actually exposing the fact you have very poor and even below rudimentary understanding of issues.

It is not about sampling opinion where people are unknowledgeably simplest and most reactionary. Take away the sweet of a child alway and you expect said child to vote you world's best parent even though you take the action for his or her best health interest?

Most Nigerians know nothing about macro-economics reforms to enhance their long term socio-economic prospect. All they know is that garri and transport fee cost more. They aren't aware life for them, could be about so much more as others are enjoying worldwide, and as Tinubu wishes to deliver for them.

To them the leader who has caused rise in garri price and transport cost is strictly a failure. Yet how can that be true also for me, you and all properly educated and exposed Nigerians who know how badly off Nigerians are in direct comparison to their peers globally and how/why the reforms it will take to close the massive gap must bring initial hardship?

Stop typing unnecessary and basseless epistles and do what you were asked to justify your illogical opinions!

The proof of governance is the provision of the most basic necessities to it's citizens and if that's not done,the president has failed woefully!


Go to a public place and interview citizens to score your paymaster based on these few basics and it won't be any different from my own assessment....

Security: 2%
Economy:5%
Electricity:1%
Ease of doing business:3%
Health:5%
Education:2%

@OP
Lets subject your opinion to a public test!
Go to at least 5 major market places and interview random people and ask them if Tinubu is the best president Nigeria ever had!
I await your results!

Omoh today's bbn reunion episode was very explosive!
I believe the entire reunion so far had more content than the live show last year!
My opinion!

Sucking boobs and softly biting the nipples? Absolutely!
Spanking the ass?...Oh yeah!
But Sucking the genitals? Hell NO!

Bulaba ensure the security of lives or resign!
That's what you once told a sitting president!
Ur own turn don reach...

Oga Tinubu you once asked GEJ to resign as a result of the way he handled insecurity!
With the increasing spat of insecurity happening all over the country with no sign of it abating,this should be the right time to do what you asked of GEJ!
