babestella: Commissioning of NIPP 750 MW power station in Olorunsogo currently going on now. President Goodluck Jonathan present, professor Nebo speaking presently. I think it's a plus to our power generating capacity.
Wow, That is a massive good news. I hope they will quickly connect it to the national grid to boost power suplly in Nigeria. We are gradually getting there.

SEEMESEEMEO: I did a little research yesterday night and this is what I found!
'Former Head of Military Ruler and Chieftain of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Major General Muhammadu Buhari has asked the Federal Government to stop the clampdown of Boko Haram insurgents, saying Niger Delta Militants were never killed or properties belonging to them destroyed.
Buhari who spoke on Sunday on a Liberty Radio programme, Guest of the Week monitored said accused the government of killing and destroying houses belonging to Boko Haram members while the Niger Delta militants get special treatment.
The former dictator said that unlike the special treatment given to the Niger Delta militants by the federal government, the Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished by government.
While accusing President Jonathan of failing from the beginning to address the security situation in the country, Buhari said he has never been in support of the state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa state.
According to Buhari “what is responsible for the security situation in the country is caused by the activities of Niger Delta militants. Every Nigerian that is familiar with what is happening knows this. The Niger Delta militants started it all.
“What happened is that the governors of the Niger Delta region at that time wanted to win their elections. So they recruited the youths and gave them guns and bullets and used them against their opponents to win elections by force.
“After the elections were over, they asked the boys to return the guns; the boys refused to return the guns. Because of that, the allowance that was being given to the youths by the governors during that time was stopped.
“The youths resorted to kidnapping oil workers and were collecting dollars as ransom. Now a boy of 18 to 20 years was getting about 500 dollars in a week, why will he go to school and spend 20 years to study and then come back and get employed by government to be paid N100,000 a month, that is if he is lucky to get employment.
“So kidnapping becomes very rampant in the South -South and the South -East. They kidnapped people and were collecting money.
“How did Boko Haram start? We know that their leader, Mohammed Yusuf started his militant and the police couldn’t control them and the army was invited. He was arrested by soldiers and handed over to the police.
“The appropriate thing to do, according to the law, was for the police to carry out investigations and charge him to court for prosecution, but they killed him, his in-law was killed, they went and demolished their houses.
“Because of that, his supporters resorted to what they are doing today.
You see in the case of the Niger Delta militants, the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua sent an aeroplane to bring them, he sat down with them and discussed with them, they were cajoled, and they were given money and granted amnesty.
“They were trained in some skills and were given employment, but the ones in the north were being killed and their houses were being demolished.
They are different issues, what brought this? It is injustice”.
While fielding questions in English in the same programme, Buhari said that the promoters of the All Progressive Congress (APC) were aware of the challenges ahead of them in an effort to get the party registered, saying “the road to merger is quite rough.
“The ruling party, with its enormous resources and its capacity for coercion has seen it as a threat and they have said it. Personally, I came to realise since 2007 that Nigerians believe that the only way to stabilise the system of multi-party democracy is for the opposition parties that have representatives right from Councillors to the National Assembly come together to deliver their constituencies democratically.
This is the only way you can counter PDP’s enormous physical and material influence in the country”
He expressed optimism that the All Progressive Congress will be registered saying “by nature, I am an optimist. If I were not an optimist, I will not attempt to contest the presidency three times and end up in the Supreme Court three times. I believe we are going to be registered.
“There is a law guiding party registration which states that you must have your headquarters in the nation’s capital that can be identified by INEC and you must have a convention. All the three parties involved have held their conventions and have agreed to forsake our existing parties and go for APC.
They live like Kings and Emperors, looking after only themselves. While they instigate other people's children to sacrifice their lives for their ambition.
Yet, you find a lot of people that won't reason for a minute.
[size=17pt]We already know Buhari has prostate cancer. Let them continue to cover it pretending to be deceiving people. It is of no consequence because Nigerians have already rejected Buhari, the worst dictator in Nigeria's history after Abacha .[/size]
Erh Phee Cee has already promised to kill all the vehicle manufacturing plants in Nigeria. So that they can return us to the era when Nigeria imported all sorts of old rickety cars from around the world and didn't manufacture even a bicycle wheel. So much for those that process positive "Changii" to Nigeria.
I personally know someone whom Obasanjo slept with when he visited Enugu in 2004. I just wonder why these married politicians have such high appetite for sex.
spartacus11: don't be an hypocrite, the time you spent here is enough for you to goole it snd verify her age okay, and stop been among does who look for every single opportunity to rubbish innocent peoples name, by the way the $20 billion missing oil money stolen by jonathan has it been recovered ewu
Don't mind them. Tomorrow, we will look for who to join in protesting bad governance. yet, it is all clear now that Buhari and his children have been milking the state for a very long time.
rusher14: Aisha Buhari was a teenager at the time.
She must have been a genius to pull that off.
Cook up another lie.
[size=16pt]Bro, this was not politics. I checked it out myself and found it was not a lie. The scandal was reported in several US newspapers such as New York times, CBS and the FBI gave testimony in the case which is all over the internet.

dorocent: The Federal Government, yesterday, warned foreign nations’ represented by their missions in Nigeria against making what it termed “unguarded utterances” on matters the government said are strictly Nigeria’s internal issues.
According to Nigerian Tribune, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Aminu Wali, gave the warning in Abuja, at an interactive session with the diplomatic community over the shift of the general election.
The warning by the Minister is coming on the heels of comments by the US and EU on the postponement of Nigeria’s general elections, Channels reports. .
“It is therefore unacceptable for envoys to abuse their privileges and immunities by behaving in a manner that would have been met with the opprobrium in their countries were Nigerian ambassadors to behave in like manner,” he said.
This day quotes the Minister as saying, Nigeria does not need to be lectured on its internal affairs.
[size=18pt]“No country, no matter how well intentioned, can love Nigeria more than Nigerians themselves,”[/size] he concluded
rondo235: God punish dis godles countries....[size=18pt]sponsorin boko haram,ebola,oil price meltdown etc..[/size] none of dis is rampant in their own land—only Africa n Asia.just for world mastership..see?b wise
@ bolded, They actually want Nigeria to go up in flames. But they are not God.
A particular known racist was deployed to Nigeria as "Ambassador". You'd ask yourself, why would anyone with good intention deploy a racist to a country that is 99% black?
Buhari never said he will plan a coup or overthrown the present government. His statement meant that should they postpone the election once more, it means the present government are planning a coup"...which means postponing the election is tantamount to a coup
His words, "He said, “We told them about the change in the dates of elections and the constitutional limitations of INEC. That is the last card for INEC and they cannot delay the elections anymore. So, it is up to the government to facilitate a free, fair and credible election.
“If they fail to do that then, they will be indulging in a civilian and military coup because the constitution is very clear that certain days to the swearing in, there must be an election which will usher in a new government. So, there are no more excuses. INEC has given a document that they are ready for the election"
What does it mean to indulge?
Please, read and understand well before jumping into conclusion.
MODS, please since everyone has a wrong perspective of the message, could you move mthis to front page?
CC: lalasticlala, seun
Buhari and his cohorts are free to plan a coup. I hope they are prepared to face the consequences. Not to mention that they cannot hold this sick country together.
[size=15pt]Obughi onye kwuo eziokwu, motor ya efuo! To say the truth, I hate that Rochas pitched tent with an aboki party. But, truth be said, he is gradually transforming Imo state. his determination to achieve the Owerri ring road system is gradually transforming the state capital and opening many new areas for development. Every family member of mine in Owerri testify to his amazing transformation. If Imo had visionary governors like this in the past, the sky would have been the limit by now. BTW, I'm from Anambra.[/size]
naijaking1: I am neither a student of international affairs nor a member of the diplomatic circle of either Nigeria or the US, but the persistent and glaring Obama administration position on Nigeria is alarming, contradictory, and almost criminal at times. The US position on Boko Haram vs ISIS is a clear study in self contradiction. Hillary Clinton was noted to have told the World that BK was not a terrorist organisation, but some form of protest against unemployment and high rate of poverty. She has since been proved wrong!
Then, came John Kerry: his visit to Nigeria was also questionable. If he wanted to meet with President Jonathan and the opposition, why did he meet with only Buhari, when there are other presidential candidates like UPP and LP. There is no doubt that APC is a stronger opposition than other parties, but why did the visiting secretary of state have to make that determination? Otherwise, he could have met the president at a state level, and express whatever concern he had.
Let us not forget the US accusation of human right violation by Nigerian army, an accusation based on information based on "evidence" supplied by Boko Haram themselves! The same accusation was used by the Obama administration to deny and frustrate Nigeria from buying arms to fight BH! You clearly see how BH benefits from the administration of Barack Hussien Obama--it's not an accident.
We also know that former Obama community organizational staff and tools have been drafted to Nigeria to help support Buhari in this election, just like the same group are supporting an opposition party to Prime minister Netanyahu in Israel. It seems that those who fall out with Obama gets to fight for their political lives right from their home base, thanks to the Chicago group. Like Israel, Nigeria should take it's case directly to the American Congress and impress it upon John Bohner and other Republicans that Obama is up to no good!
It is also no coincidence that US and western press have been gushing for a Buhari presidency, despite Buhari's record as a dictator and human rights abuser. It's ok, 'he will change, or he has changed' they say, anybody is better than Jonathan. Like the 'economist' implied, any muslim from the north is inherently better than a poor performing christian Jonathan from the south. The 'economist', like Obama upped the ante on attacking Jonathan after he voted against the Palestinians at the UN.
Now, John Kerry is heart broken, because the Nigerian election is postponed to enable INEC fully distribute voting cards. John Kerry and the Obama people know the details of our problems here in Nigeria, yet they pretend otherwise. How would "democracy" work when most of the people of southern Nigeria are denied voting access? That is the question. And just like the fight against BK, the US refused to offer a real assistance in distributing these cards to voters, instead, they will tell us how deep disappointed they are, because the election has been postponed for a couple of weeks to enable more people obtain their voting cards.
John Kerry, Obama, and Hilary Clinton can't imagine a US national election where mostly democratic NY and MA voters are purposefully restricted from casting their votes in a presidential election, yet they have no problems pushing for similar position in Nigeria where southern voters most likely to vote PDP are denied voting card. The Obama administration policies in Nigeria is neither good for Nigerians nor for democracy itself. This policy must be clearly understood and then resisted at all cost! GEJ should approach Republican leaders of congress for an alternative approach to Obama's criminal perspectives on Nigeria
kodded: YOU FORGOT THEY DINT ASSISTS NIGERIA DOING THE FIGHT AGAINST EBOLA
[size=14pt] Ogas Obama, Kerry and Jamie Entwistle, I was wondering if the better effort wouldn't be to give Liberia and Sierra Leone Z-MAPP medication to save all those countless Ebola victims.
Now a mind boggling 9,000 innocent Africans have died because nobody considers them human enough to get Z-MAPP anti-ebola treatment. If they were Americans, they will mysteriously get Z-MAPP treatment and survive, except ofcourse if they are African like Eric Duncan. But Nigerian electoral postponement is the most important help Africa needs now?[/size]
Buhari truly just wants to grab power. It is the duty of true Nigerians to prevent terrorists from lording it over the nation. Now the wolves are pretending to be sheep. Don't fall for their trick.
InvertedHammer: / If you have never lived in the North, this is what it usually looks like when shit pops off. It is advisable for Southerners to move now they still have the opportunity b/c when it comes down to it, Law Enforcement officers can only stand by and watch the almajiris go haywire. They are like ants. \

Abagworo: You lie against Imo State just because you support Jonathan who has failed in Nigeria. Now you just mentioned a road neglected by Jonathan which Okorocha has complained about. Imo is not all about hotels and tourism if you must know. Ada palm is the largest palm plantation in Southeast Nigeria while Imo is the largest producer of oil and gas. A lot of oil and gas activities is going on here as well as agriculture. There are also medium scale industries in the State like Heineken/Consolidated at Awo, Jacobs wine at Oru, Decorkote paint at Orlu, Aluminium extrusion plant at Inyisi, Eagle keke plant at Akabo etc. They are in dozens but located outside Owerri and hence not noticeable for people like you.
That said Imo is definitely not an industrial State and I believe we should work on agricture and tourism as the backbone of our economy. All Igbo States should focus on one aspect of economy or the other in which tbey have imperative advantage and not try to engage in scattered economy trying to be like a country.
What makes you different, trying to get Igbos to support someone has has sworn hatred for them?

Caseless: Never loose hope and don't be discouraged, be stronger, victory is ours by God's grace. We will continue the struggle to the end. - Gen. Buhari
If you ask me, I will say. first discuss how to help Liberia and Sierra Leone with Z-MAPP Ebola medication.That affects more lives than worrying about the postponed Nigerian election.
Ayesman: Mchwewwwww We want to see the thesis that qualify him to be Doctor.
Can anyone produce that?
Jonathan does not even need any of those, he will show his WAEC and be fine anyday. Buharai does not even have basic WAEC and you want to foist such illiterate on Nigeria??
Did you even pass Junior Waec? Yet you want to analyze thesis
[size=38pt]Adieu Pa. Buhari ![/size] - August, 2015 You should have taken time-off to treat this cancer. Anyhow, Cancer cannot stop your indomitable spirit
biafranqueen: Was he not in PDP when he was Governor? In Katsina Jonathan established the Federal University in Dutsin-ma, built 5 Almajiri schools and multiple silos. #GEJisworking.
[size=14pt]You can't give what you don't have Buhari doesn't care about schools. Why should a chicken piss?
Buhari is a stark illiterate that believe only radicalization of the youths![/size]
