According to your logic - A country like Nigeria with roughly 250 different ethnic make up - Some ethnic group wont smell presidency for at least 1000 years. So who decides which ethnic group takes the first swipe at presidency.

Na wah for una o. There is no argument here at all, as a Bank MD you dont need to be a guru to know that the main ""koko"is the word of the Incoming (Okorocha) and not the outgoing (Ohakim). Okorocha does not need to go to court to freeze the account by mere pronouncing it all banks supposed arrange themselves. Or else be rest assured that the next 4 years no goverment deposits. So tell me if you are the bank MD would you ignore the directive?
We all agree that it is possible because of the Nigerian factor - but it is not Legal for a bank to receive directive from a not yet sworn in governor.  hence because of the illegal directive salaries wont be paid

PoliticsEven House Of Assembly Owes Money To The Banks - by blacksta(op): 10:28am On May 12, 2011
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Dimeji Bankole, faces a stormy session as the House of Representatives Wednesday ordered a preliminary investigation into its alleged indebtedness to a commercial bank to the tune of N10 billion.

Moves to impeach him were launched Wednesday night, with strong indications that the proceedings may be taken a step further today, with the apparent inability of the House to pay the outstanding salaries and allowances of its members.

In a confidential phone chat Wednesday night, the member who does not want his name in print said: “We will not allow him to preside Thursday. He cannot be a judge in his own case. We are going to suspend him. If we have 240 members in support of the motion, we will go for outright impeachment, otherwise we will just suspend him and strip him of all paraphernalia of office, if he comes tomorrow he will not go back with his convoy of official cars.”

There are speculations that the bulk of the loan went into the Bankole’s political campaigns in preparation for the just concluded parliamentary elections, which he incidentally lost. 

Unconfirmed reports indicate  that apart from deploying the bulk of the loan to fund his electioneering campaigns, Bankole allegedly purchased about 36 exotic Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) which he distributed to some prominent politicians,  including state governors, to ensure that he retained his seat as Speaker in the next parliamentary session after he might have won his re-election in Abeokuta-South federal constituency of Ogun State. He failed to win the election.

The resolution came amid tension and drama arising from the initial lockout of the lawmakers from the chamber and the move by some aggrieved lawmakers to confront the leadership   on account of the allegations.

It was a session billed to have commenced at 2.00pm but the doors to the legislative chamber were under lock and key as at 2.35pm. Security men who kept vigil at the various entrances said they were acting on “orders from above” while lawmakers who had arrived early to take their seats were directed to go to the conference room of the Deputy Speaker where an impromptu closed door meeting was holding. 

The Sergeant At Arms called for reinforcement of security before he opened the chamber at 2.41pm. Deputy Speaker, Nafada, entered the chamber along with other principal officers at exactly 3.25pm and at least nine security operatives guarded the mace, the symbol of authority of the House, throughout the tension soaked session.

The investigation will commence Thursday morning when Bankole, and the Clerk of the House, Mr Sanni Omolori, are  expected to provide  some explanations on the apparent bankruptcy of the lower house.

Bankole, the presiding officer of the House  and Omolori, the chief accounting officer of the chamber, are expected to confirm  the authenticity of the said loan, how the borrowed funds were spent and ascertain if  such expenditure received due  approval of members  as required by the House Rules.   

The decision to conduct an investigation into the finances of the House was taken yesterday at the plenary amidst rowdiness and tight security. Bankole was absent at the session. It was the second consecutive legislative sitting he would be absenting himself since the House resumed from the election break.

The resolution to probe the duo followed a motion of privilege moved by Hon. Dino Melaye seeking the intervention of the House on the issue of the non-payment of arrears of salaries and allowances owed him and five other legislators who were suspended last year and later re-instated through a court order. 

In the motion, Melaye also alleged that not only has the House been unable to pay the recalled members, it has been unable to  pay the salaries, allowances and severance package of the entire members of the House, barely  three weeks to the end of the sixth session of the National Assembly.

According to Melaye, the insolvency of the House was not because the statutory allocations   accrued to the House has not been released by the Central Bank of Nigeria, but that the funds have  been seized by the commercial bank because of the indebtedness of the chamber to the bank. He urged the House to formally invite the Speaker to explain the details of the loan which, he claimed, did not pass through the due process.

He stated that so far, available records have shown that the House has not authorised any such borrowing, adding that no bank can grant loan or overdraft to an institution without obtaining a resolution passed by members of such an institution authorising the loan facility.   

He urged the House to set up an Adhoc Committee to investigate the allegations levelled against the Speaker   and to have   him suspended until the probe was completed.

If GEJ privatizes and increase tariffs, then we'll have 24/7 electricity in at least some parts of the country.

Main thing is for government to get out of the business as much as possible, imo
If is a conditional statement - Ones does not plan to privatise a company and yet is spending billions on the same company - makes no sense at all shocked

Lol!

Anyways, Liyel Imoke was seriously probed, I'm sure even stones were blistering with rage at the time as well. Nothing came of the probe as we all know, its a sad part of our wretched history.
Concerning GEJ, there are already scheduled dates for new plants to come into operation and where they are late, announcements with reasons are given; eg an additional 1,266MW was slated to be delivered by the end of this month, but only 843MW (about 70%) is deliverable by the end of May 2011. This is still an appreciable figure and the reasons are given here:

http://allafrica.com/stories/201104260248.html

If there was to be the same hoodwinking we had in the past, we would have been getting funny "not possible in 50 years" style statements, instead we have several verifiable landmarks. I'm certain that the supply of electricity would have increased very noticably by the end of this year, otherwise call me when you wanna burn the place down, and I'll be the general. grin

We should be close to 24/7 power supply by 2013, except power demands rocket up.

Too much talk talk. I worked in that plant (Alaoji) as a technical Adviser, and I have told the government that the EPC Contractor Rockson Engineering does not have the capability to deliver on such a huge turnkey project because there hands are full with too many power contracts.
Even in America where i have worked a project of such magnitude will require at least 3,000 workers (both skilled and unskilled) working simultaneously; both what I saw on site four years ago and till date is just a paltry 250 workers who only work during sunlight on the open cycle plant not to mention the inactivity on the combined cycle phase.
The turbines have been skidded on the foundations after the problem of crossing Imo River was solved at a huge sum, but the switch-yard is far from being ready; so how do you even evacuate any power generated?
Our concern is not only on the integrity of the pipelines but on the turbines and generators which have been poorly preserved since the were imported into the country in 2005.
Alaoji power plant should have been completed since 2007 and here we are today talking about gas pipeline measurement 12'', 18'', 24'' (absolutely disgusting).
1074MW Alaoji if the truth be told is three years away from commissioning at the pace the work is ongoing. The pipeline issue is just a gimmick to deceive Nigerians, I am on ground there and I can say it under my NL false ID unequivocally without fear but with a lot of frustration at how the people are being lied to.
[size=15pt]The power situation in the country with the current trend is far from being solved unless GEJ decides to face fact which he will find difficult to do at least in the next one year because the biggest contributors to his election campaign are contractors, manufacturers and consultants in the power sector where a bulk of the nations budget is being sunk without commensurate level of delivery.[/size]
