He should be locked up for real.
Nigerians are in trouble.
No wonder Uduaghan sat on the state coffers for months without a single pay-out.

Like Ekiti state, like Delta state.
Kick out one crook, inherit another.

Merry Xmas Uduaghan. . . enjoy your loot.

OBJ. . .the Mugabe of Nigeria.

They should be protesting against OBJ, not IBB.
OBJ is far worse than IBB.

In fact any where IBB's name features in this article, OBJ's name should be substituted.
At least IBb did not shine his daughters'/daughters-in-law'c congos.
Crimes against God Himself.
Twa!

Please, speak for yourselves alone as "Nigerians".
I detest OBJ far more than I could ever dream of detesting IBB.

Group of senile old men who should be repatrated from the UK to Nigeria to face IBB himself.
Cowards. Why stand on foreign soil to diss IBB?
Do they not know the roads to Minna?

OK, maybe I misread you.
Nope, it is very capital intensive. So you need to attract outside investment. . . or convince Nigerian banks to loan you the $500 million to setup a nicely sized power plant. Unfortunately, Nigerian banks charge assloads of money in interest, in part because there are way more profitable things they can do with their money than investing in electricity generation.

Nothing is impossible with the eradication of corruption. If you like get foreign investors, capital intensive or not. . .same result. Halliburton sounds familiar?
Siemens? Nigerians will corrupt anything incorruptible. The kind of government you have of course. For chrrisakes, Senegal has electricity 24/7 all year round.
Without a reliable transportation network or the basic security. . .count foreign investors out.

Regarding who maintains/builds the power plants, yes, no reason not to hire Nigerian engineers. But this is a secondary issue. Primary issue is financing.

With all the crooks you have all over Nigeria? Seize some properties and use the proceeds to develop the community. Adenuga had no problem spending millions/billions(depending on what currency you are referring to) for one daughter's wedding huh?

Assuming you can get rid of the red tape, then I think foreigners are the perfect sort of person to target. The toll road that Fashola built by giving a 30 year concession? Iirc, some Australian bank put up a lot of the capital. This is the sort of things Western banks like to invest in. Securities that are relatively safe (at least, compared to other things in Africa) and have a predictable income stream.

Outsourcing never helped any developing country. Communist China would not be #1 today despite the snobbery from the West.

Nigerians on the other hand seem to be interested in higher-rewarding investment opportunities. Which to be fair makes a lot of sense; there are lots of more profitable businesses one can probably invest in in a place like Nigeria than generating power.
I'm arguing for less federal gov't interference and control.

Shows you are not ready to be an independent nation. Bring back the colonialists then.
Your approach can only keep Nigeria down for ever.
Learn to invest in yourselves. . .then the world would invest in you.
Right now we are at a disadvantage economically.

I ask again, what investors in their right minds would be crazy enough to dabble into the Nigerian power sector full of saboteurs that cannot be held accountable for their treason against Nigeria? Investors want to gain. . . not lose. Nigeria is a losing investment all round. Only in the oil sector. . .where we get ripped off good, do the investors see the possibility of a gain. . .since the Nigerian government is too daft to figure it out.

I loved it.
Just registered.
Thanks.

But err,

Hope it is not a tribalistic website o.
Sick of those.

There is always an air-headed confusionist in the midst of things.

Whoever heard of the NL "blonde" from Ekiti State?.

Fake ars*e

Phoooeeee!!!

The mother and sister are prolly dead.

Anyone notice the boy's last name is "Olaniyi"?

Very omninous.

Hmm!

Up Ekiti state!

Not for mouth o. . . let us see some action.

Governor Fayemi should be notified asap.

We are watching all of you. . .this boy must not go missing.

I will hold you all responsible.

DapoBear:
I facebooked Patience Ogbo. Maybe she will know of a way to make sure that money safely reaches him.

I honestly think he should be sent back to Ekiti State rather than living in Lagos, too.

Thank you jare.

_{Not a bad chap afterall. . .}  

ziddy:
Like you knew Blazay would pop up & vomit all over the thread, as usual:

Lucky ya. . .I am in a good mood today.



_*pukes*

Heck no.
Bad for trees.
Bad for the ecosystem.

I prefer online news.

No recycling necessary.

The government of Ekiti state should be forwarded this link.

Where are all those Ekiti breeding machines on NL and FB. . .?

Time to put your money where your mouths always is. . .

Come and claim one of your children.

Next, the government of Kwara state should be notified, since his mother is from Kwara state.

Both states need to pick up the tab for this little boy before he finds himself in some ritualist's pot.

Worse still. . .a pedo-philic tail.


This is frightening.

So we have street urchins in Lagos metropolis?

Unbelievable.

What are they called again in Northern Nigeria?

Mrs Olaniyi reportedly walked away from the marriage when things became too difficult, taking her one-year-old daughter along and leaving Ayo, then aged two, with his father.

Nigerian marriage.

On a more serious note. . .people should not give birth to children they cannot afford to take care of. How can you be having sexual relations while living in a 'shanty park'?

There should be strict penalties in Nigeria for ANY one who decides to have irresponsible marital relationships without the financial means of maintaining such shabby unions.

Look at the result? Poor children brought into the world to suffer unecessarily. What a social menace. I think Nigeria should be like China. Any person that gives birth to a child he or she cannot afford, owes the government some penalties.

[quote author=Jaidey-one link=topic=564351.msg7299601#msg7299601 date=1291875132]lmao [b] who said electricity will be expensive when the power sector is privatized?[/b] lailai this phcn ppl are theives.
Many nigerians are already paying more than they use so please let them privatise it we're ready to pay 10k per month if 24hrs of electricity is garantueed[/quote]The same people whose parents are generator merchants in Nigeria of course. Where you have street lights being powered by diesel all year round, simply because people like Uduaghan and Fashola have relatives with generator and deisel contracts all year round.

Don't blame the PCHN peeps. The government sabotages them too to infinite un-productivity. Governmental roles should be strictly regulatory period. But only in Nigeria of course.

Rogues!

Sho you right. . .only privatization can forster the innovation Nigeria needs. Give us guranteed electricity, and I will pay any price. Enough of these generator merchants in government like the buffoon in this opening article.

DapoBear:
No. There is no competition between supplier of electricity; if you are dissatisfied with whoever provides electricity to your house, then it isn't as if you can find someone else to do the job. It is effectively a local monopoly.

Same as I stated. Only privatization can facilitate competition. Nigeria does not need a monopoly in any good or service. Places like Mexico and even Togo do not have the kind of electricity problem we have in Nigeria because of the 'generator merchants' backed up by the corrupt people in government. We need to do away with the 'Dangote' era of monopolies forstered by the Nigerian government.

The main point of privatizing is to to attract outside investors with lots of cash who will not mind spending the billions of dollars required to get the infrastructure up and running.

No. You take jobs away from Nigerians with all that your 'investing'. What are all your electrical engineering graduates doing all over Nigeria? Bunkering oil?
Electricity should strictly a Nigerian domain with minimum interference from the outside world.  What on earth do you produce? Are you not tired of getting ripped off by what you can do by yourself?  Please, shed that "big man" mentality and put Nigerians to work for a change. You have the brains. Encourage privatization with strict regulation. Period.

What group of sane investors would want to dabble into the Nigerian power sector with all that red-tape and saboteurs' mentality/complex. Only Nigerians can fix that kind of problem indigenous to Nigerians and perculiar to the underdeveloping mindset.

A secondary point is to remove control from the federal gov't, who will no doubt slow down progress in places like Lagos and Abuja where the power business is likely to be most profitable. The federal governments modus operandi right now seems to be to slow all the parts of the country down to molasses speeds of progress, when some parts would like to progress more rapidly.

I think you are contradicting yourself. Only with privatization can the role of the federal government be diminished. So, which do you want? What side are you arguing for or against?

Please, speak for your self.

Losers all the way.

Yet he knows nothing of "the economy".

Atiku, my good man, allow the Nigerians to sink in their own ignorance and misery.

Just concentrate on your mission.

Nigerians deserve the GEJ/OBJ Aluta continua.
