Well, time shall take its course and in this case, there must be a winner and a losser. Lets not crucify anybody yet until d day is ripe then we can now confortably diagnose d duo. None is guilty of d charges until proven otherwise. I rest my case. Court Order!!!

'Time shall tell' applies only to Sanusi who is still in office. Soludo's tenure is over, and the evidence is available to judge his tenure in office. It is not a competition and so I dont see the need for winners or losers. When someone's tenure in office ends, we should be fair to credit him for what he did well, but also be objective enough to criticize whatever he failed to do or did wrongly.

Why cant nigerians shun sentiment and say the , truth for once, how did zik encourage military rule or try to seize power, please back up your statements with facts,

After Ziks UPGA alliance party lost the elections in December 1964, Zik, as president, 'ordered' the military to suspend the incumbent Balewa led civilian government and appoint an interim administrator. (Un)fortunately, the 1963 constitution placed the operational control of the military under the PM and cabinet of ministers, and not the president, thus zik did not have authority over the military. This point was made clear to Zik and the service chiefs by the Chief justice and Attorney General of the federation, and consequently, the service chiefs declined to answer his call to a meeting nor follow the orders.

While I dont approve of Sanusi taking shots at his predecessors, his description of what happened during Soludo's tenure is accurate. Soludo was aware of the problems in the sector from the moment he took office, and for whatever reasons, simply failed to tackle (talk less of solving) them. If Sanusi feels Soludo acted inappropriately, he should forward whatever evidence he has to the efcc and let the law take its course.

@safeact
Soludo is not Sanusi's boss and your argument for development at any cost is saddening.

Romance › Re: Ladies Arrange Order Of Preferred Attributes In Men! by biina: 1:31am On Mar 01, 2010

These responses get as dem be. All these low 'wealth' rankings na lie tongue

Suggestion:
The poll would be more reflective of preferences if the characteristics were weighted and related to real life figures, and, you restrict people to picking each level only once. The levels should be based on real life data like income distribution, male height statistics etc. which eliminates subjective interpretation of things like wealth of good height.

Example of a 3 level case

A. Income (per annum):
1. above N10m
2. N3m-7m;
3. less than N3m

B. Looks:
1. Tall and handsome;
2. average height and manageable looks;
3. short and ugly

C: Persona:
1. confident;
2. Average;
3. Timid and shy

so you can have a guy that earns N3-7million a year, is average height with manageable looks, and has an average personality, but you cant (even though I know you want to) have a tall and handsome guy who is confident and earns more than N10m a year.

A valid response would be of the form
1. Income = above N10m
2. Physical = average height and manageable looks;
3. Persona = Timid and shy

You could have five characteristics each with 5 levels (poorest to best).

ElRazur:
You seem not to understand my view point and it sucks that you aren't really adding anything we do not know already here.

It is your problem you think that I am implying it as such, not mine.

Again let me make my point again. It is a top natural predator and as such will attack humans if necessary - this was evident in the incident itself. To rule out the possibility of it attacking a human is just silly.

There is nothing new you are saying here that Tpia hasn'r already mentioned. In the context I am using an Apex predator is that this 5 ton killer have nothing to worry about if and when it decides to attack a human.

If you are not disputing their ability to kill, what is your problem? Bored tonight? So you suggested they won't attack humans yet the very reason this thread was opened was because one actually attacked a human and the same one have been linked to a few human death in the past. Seriously, what is your point?

For crying out loud, how can my argument be flawed when the main focus here is an Orca who so happened to be an Apex predator. No? Seriously, I think my post give you a [i]stiffy [/i]sometimes.

Your argument is flawed because you suggested that they could perceive humans as prey, and try to buttress that position by claiming an apex predator will kill anything if necessary. The ability to kill anything, including humans, if necessary is not a consequence of being an apex predator (a white shark is not an apex predator and wouldn't need much provocation to kill a human, while the catfish is an apex predator and couldnt kill a human even if it wanted to), and I have seen no evidence of Orcas perceiving humans as prey (food). Them being an apex predator is irrelevant and you stop trying to use to justify your position.

As to your claim to the Orca attacking the victim, the Orca drowned the victim and there were no bites. Its presumptuous to say categorically that it attacked (which implies an intent to harm), when it could have felt it was playing with the victim when the unfortunate woman drowned and died. A former head trainer at Seaworld alluded that the Orca might have been intrigued by the woman's ponytail which had seem to draw its attention, and by which it pulled the woman into the pool. The victim wasn't swimming with the Orca, it pulled her in to the pool. The ex-head trainer said the swinging ponytail was likely a violation of protocol.

The two previous deaths involving tilikum were different:
- in the first, a trainer accidentally fell into a pool with tilikum and two other female orcas. The orcas grabbed her in their mouth and tossed her to each other as if playing with a ball and the lady consequently drowned. This was an accident as they never have humans in their pool and were simply tossing the lady like a toy not trying to rip her to pieces.
- in the second, an intruder got into his pool, and tilikum most likely saw him as a threat and killed him. Nobody know what happened and the intruder might have threatened the Orca in which case it simply defended itself.

Do not make sweeping categorization of orcas as if they are some human predators.

BTW please keep your sexual orientation, fantasies, and/or perversions out of the discussion.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Very Sad Event At Seaworld by biina: 6:54pm On Feb 28, 2010

ElRazur:
Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I have stated that whether they get it from humans or not, it do not change the fact that they are killers. Jeez. You know, an Apex predator will kill anything if necessary.

You use the word 'killer' as if it implies human killers i.e. they feed on humans. Nobody is disputing their ability to kill, but you make it sound like if given an opportunity, they would feed on humans. Orcas are dolphins not whales, and the term 'killer whale' came from 'whale killers' as they feed on whales. I havent heard any account of them preying on humans.

Your argument of being an apex predator is wrong, as the classification depends on other factors like habitat and defensive abilities. The electric catfish is also classified as an apex predator. Does that make them human killers too?

Politics › Re: We Must Achieve 6,000 Megawatts – Jonathan by biina: 3:05am On Feb 25, 2010

1. A national grid essentially decouples the physical location of power generation from the point of consumption e.g. power produced in Kanji can be consumed in Lagos. With each state/region isolated, it becomes chop alone, die alone, as you cannot move power to the needed areas even if there are excess elsewhere in the country. Example, there is power shortage in lagos during the day which is affecting the industries, while there is excess production in Niger because it is the raining season and they have all gone to the farm. The result is that you need to make excess provisions as backup which results in increased cost to the end consumers.

2. A silent point about grids is that they help with frequency stability. Power generation usually involves several generators with each contributing a fraction to the grid. All generators have to be operating at the same frequency for stability. The larger the fraction the generator is contributing, the easier it is to try to do 'his own thing' (i.e. operate at a different frequency. On a small grid it is easier for one generator to contribute a substantial fraction and go off-key, while on a a larger grid the contribution of each generator is much smaller and everyone submits to the rule of the majority.

3, Power generation (for a country of Nigeria size) benefits greatly from economies of scale. I gave a simple example earlier of 15KVA from NEPA as opposed to from a local generator and there was a factor of over 100x increase in cost. So you want to generate in bulk as large as possible.

4. When you provision, your capacity is towards accommodating your peak value, while for the most part, your typical utilization will be much lower e.g. peak consumption for residences occur in the morning 6-8am and evening like 7-9pm. Because you cannot simply switch on/off turbines at short notice, the excess installed capacity above you average is wasted. The consumer ends up paying for this waste, but the larger the demographic covered, the closer your typical is to the peak demand, as it averages out over more customers. Most states in Nigeria have defining demographics, e.g. Lagos is heavily industrialized while Gombe is mainly agrarian. We need to average across the different type to bring our PAR closer to 1.

Politics › Re: We Must Achieve 6,000 Megawatts – Jonathan by biina: 8:39pm On Feb 24, 2010

One detail of interest in the government's proposed frame work is the direct contract agreement between generation and distribution entities, bypassing the Transco. I am not sure of how they intend to reconcile this with cross regional load balancing which the TransCo would be in the best position to carry out. It might also result in poor power station siting, essntially marrying IPPs and DisCo's for live.

I am more in favor of Transco being the intermediate entity, disengaging DisCos from being at the mercy of the IPPs and making it easier to leverage across the network. Meter on and meter off should be make accountability easier. The TransCo should be smart enough to drop off power as close to the source as possible.

netotse:
beaf has a point, in a way. . .our energy mix is messed up, 70percent fossil and 30percent hydro (and sometimes the hydro are supplying more to the grid than the fossil), you yourself said we need more generation and given the niger-delta militants, fossil stations just might not be the best(even though all the taeg stuff was you guys just wanting to outdo each other)

your analysis up there is on point! the part i dont agree with is the 51% for transmission though, i think its too small. . .but other than that, what you wrote up there is primarily what government plans to do(i've read the strategic plans for the power sector, dont ask me where ) except that they're encouraging all the IOCs to set up power stations(BTW do you know there was a time OBJ was giving conditions for awarding oil-blocs to oil coys, u had to build either a railway, a power station or a refinery, dont know what became of that plan. . .and i cant ask, cos i'm not s'posed to know ). . .fact is policy-wise in the power sector OBJ didnt do too badly. . .its the e-diots that we had as minister that always messed things up!

except of the making each home responsible for its own generation bit, decentralisation'll make sense on the long run in the NEPS, cos it enhances the power mix. . .

do you see you and beaf's positions can be harmonised and if applied we'll have a mean power sector. . .there's no reason to argue. . .

My position differs totally from Beaf, which was essentially (you can check his post on the first page) eliminate government and everyone generates for himself, except for industries who should be catered for by the government that 'has no business running these things' undecided

I still maintain that the suggestion is nonsense, as it is costly, inefficient and impracticable in Nigeria.

One should familiarize themselves with where the countries preaching decentralization are coming from. Most of them are developed countries, who cannot meet their escalating demand for fossil fuels with local supply, have huge transmission networks with heavy losses, and are comfortable enough to be concerned with the environment. These countries already have a high level of penetration and availability of electricity. They are not in the same position as Nigeria, where we have abundant Natural Gas that we waste away by flaring and less than 50% of the country has access to electricity.

I maintain that over 70% of our electricity should come from fossil fuels. Other sources, particular seasonal or weather dependent sources like hydro, solar and wind, are free to complement, at the least providing backup allowing us to schedule preventive maintenance for the fossil fuel plants. I have never had any issues with using alternative sources for generation, either directly to the grid, in rural places that are yet to be connected to the grid, or even as local backup for industries. I disagree with the notion that these sources should become our primary source of electricity.

The ND problem is something that goes beyond just power generation and needs serious attention. While they may have their faults, particularly in how they are displaying their grievances, the area need focused development. I remember a few years back when there was an uproar over a N4billion contract awarded to Pivot Engineering to connect Bayelsa to the national grid, and there were reports of nothing to show for it after several years. Location of power stations in the ND should deliver power to the ND. Their priority should be second only to Abuja (government) and Lagos (industries).

The 51% interest in transmission is just to give the FG a veto position. Their record of inefficiency dissuades me from wanting them to have more control. Of course we can always start with a 25% dissolution and increase it until we get the right level of performance required. As long as we don't hand it over to the private sector, it should be fine.

Politics › Re: We Must Achieve 6,000 Megawatts – Jonathan by biina: 7:21pm On Feb 24, 2010

@netotse
'decentralization' was beaf's suggestion not mine, saying that each individual/household should be responsible for generating their own power supply and that there is no need for us to have a grid. I simply told him that he didnt know what he was talking about.

The breakup into GenCo (Power generation), TransCo (Transmission) and DisCo (distribution) is the first step in what I believe is the right direction. With the various phases separated we can more easily identify what the technical and/or administrative short comings are.

The next step would be determining the structure of ownership of these entities. While entirely FG ownership has obviously failed to deliver, a total private sector ownership (either foreign or local) will simply leave the people and the entire country at the mercy of some individuals (most who likely embezzled tax payers money in the first place)

Some people want the sector privatized, using the telecoms an example. But telecoms and the power sector operate under different market models. While in telecoms I can easily switch providers if am dis-satisfied with the product, in power, your location determines your provider leaving the customer no choice but relocation. Case in point, the wholly privatized sector attempted by the US has shown some serious problems, with private entities only interested in the major metropolitan areas where the large economies of scale guarantees wide margins, and have had to be complemented by about 3000 public owned utilities who are forced to operate at lesser margins.
Similarly on the generation side, you require PPAs which are long term contract that guarantee income to IPPs which implicitly kills the competition as the PPAs insulates each IPP from the rest. Malaysia has recently fallen into this pitfall. Essentially power distribution is not a competitive sector and thus cannot be expected to work like telecoms.

For Generation: I think the Hydro stations, cause of their geo-political importance (both nationally and internationally) should be left with at least 51% with the FG . The IPP can come on board with with technologies like fossil fuels and some renewable sources like solar farms. I am a bit skeptical with letting the oil companies own IPPs as I think we are further selling our energy position to foreign entities. I would prefer the governemnt (state and FG) be accountable for at least 70% of capacity by owning majority shares in most of the power plants.

For transmission: This should be another majority (51%) government stake entity. We need only one transmission entity and cant afford for it to be controlled by some individuals. The government need to protect the interest of the people when signing PPAs and SLAs (this will affect tariffs)

Distribution: This should be on a regional basis, with each state (or group of state) being responsible for at least 51% of the stake. The private sector, aside from being involved directly in the distribution company, can come in also as outsourced revenue collectors.

Tariff determination should be primarily under government (both state and FG) control, with private investors having enough representations to ensure they are not unfairly treated and provide some transparency.

I said laws of motion have been 'same' i.e. unchanged since the time of Einstein. The newton's laws of motion (like kepler's) are a subset applicable in classical mechanics, as they apply at low speeds (when compared to the speed of light), while the contribution of Einstein was in general and special relativity. Newton's laws of motion are inaccurate at high speeds.

Nobody can claim that the current PHCN setup is working, but instead of suggesting the right changes that would fix the problem (which requires understanding the existing problems), you just want to simply discard the existing setup for something 'new'.

Typical response undecided

Its funny how you increase font sizes as if they will make your statements more credible.
Nothing in your posts supports your earlier claim for a decentralized system.

1. You claim expensive solar cells are not required, then please answer how much your proposed alternative cost (per unit of output for a fair comparison)
2. You claim that Thermoacoustic engines are cheap. How much do they cost that makes them cheap?
3. You claim the manufacture of TAEs is easy. Have you manufactured one or know of a low tech company mass producing them?
4. You claim wave energy is 'free'. How much do wave generators cost (including transmission installation to deliver the power to the user unless you plan for us to be living on the sea)?
5. You claim Biogas is 'free' in Nigeria. What is the current and projected cost per unit watt of this Biogas (including the generator to convert it to electricity)?
6. Biogas can be obtained from our everyday waste products. Yes, but what are the associated processing cost?
7. You claim the US is very interested in Indian energy decentralization. How much decentralization has the US done since then, and more so India itself? (and I am not talking about rural areas i.e you cant decentralized what was not centralized)
8. Yes wind energy is a potential source of energy. Is it feasible? what are the typical wind speeds and forces available in Nigeria? How much per watt will this source cost?

These questions should be answered off the cuff by someone who thought things over before making a post like yours, but then I doubt it is applicable to you.
You have again failed woefully to make a coherent defence for your earlier claims. Instead your a dropping renewable energy techs as if they will magically come and solve Nigeria's problem.
You accuse me of preaching copying, and yet you are yet to mention one relevant technology that is indigenous to Nigeria. Why is that so? undecided

You want each individual to provide their own energy without consideration for the affordability. There is a reason that the bulk of the worlds electricity comes from fossil fuels, but then you wouldn't know anything about that.

when those executive themselves are the primary cause of the problem and should have been sacked first, instead of the poor tool pushers.

Beaf:
I didn't draw first blood, I only responded to unwarranted rudeness.

Sadly, Nigeria is held back by people who think that loudness somehow equates to intelligence. Well, they are in for a shock; a confident new generation is pushing through and reclaiming what belongs to Nigerians. . . We are a generation thats not cowered by loudness, we bloody kick a'ss.

You made uninformed claims (i.e. we needed to decentralize power supply and followed it with some shallow arguments for it) , and I simply called you out on it. I dont see the 'unwarranted rudeness' in pointing out that someone doesn't know what they are talking about. Leaving posts like yours unchallenged will simply misguide less knowledgeable people. All you have done since then is avoid the core issues, hunt and peck at side topics, and tried to use snide remarks to win the argument. You would rather we debate the different ways to convert energy, without any reference to the feasibility or practicality of such technologies in Nigeria.

Despite posing you some direct questions to help you get started, I am still waiting for you to explain how your proposed decentralized solution will work (I mean practically, and not some abstract ideas like solar panels that seem to have dropped from the sky).
