Am still shocked because the guy is someone i know very well. only God knows what actually led to this. I pray the wife survives.

I really dont see any reason why GEJ had to go to campaign in Lagos along with an ex-convict. I think this is a height of disrespect to Nigeria state and a public display of arrogance. I wonder if he really needs our votes! God help us

Thats a welcome development for Anambra state. This will up competition in beverages and will surely see other brands sitting up. Kudos peter obi. Though Awka is still upside down in terms of infrastructural developments like access roads to streets, street lights, potable water and public relaxation spots.

1-1= GOODLUCK JONATHAN

His good work are always diminished by his bad side! Hope we are not heading to some kind of FESTAC ''77 jamboree that destroyed Nigeria.

KG_NAIRA,

We must understand that 25billion naira is not just a pack of cash, its lots of cash. lets be considerate here, reducing tariff means reducing their profit while OPEX will likely increase due to more people making calls and resources will be in high demand. Furthermore, due to possibility of congestion on the network this will also result to some high CAPEX  in order to increase capacity.

There is more to it than we averagely see . am not saying that i wont like to make calls at cheaper rate, but i will rather call at the present rate than experience poor call quality and network congestion!

I wonder if he were a speaker on the british parliament, will he be subjected to such embarrassment?

I have alot of respect for Dora when she was in NAFDAC, that's why i am writing this piece. i assume she is acting blindly on the issue at hand. She wants operators to reduce cost. I wonder if she knows that about 10,000 cell sites in nigeria run on Diesel Generators 24hrs of the day. now lets do a little analysis. MTN has more than 4000 cell sites in Nigeria, each cell sites consumes an average of 100 litres of diesel daily. when you check yearly consumption of diesel in 4000 cell sites, it amounts to 146 million litres of diesel yearly. The contract sum for the supply of diesel to these sites is about N170. per litre, for the 146 million litres, the cost is approx 25 billion naira. This is just a rough cost analysis for diesel. We have not checked the cost for generator maintenance and this analysis is just for MTN. Now tell me, if PHCN is working properly, I know that MTN will not consume more than N5 billion worth of power. This will leave them with N20 billion. Then we can talk about Low call tarrif.

Please Mrs Information minister, lets not make things more difficult for investors in Nigeria. Your major focus in rebranding Nigeria should be on getting foreign investors to take part in power generation and distribution. that is what will leave your name on the marble not getting some Chinese companies to install DTT equipments and launch startimes. Startimes will never leave your name on the marble!, GO WOO FOREIGN INVESTORS INTO OUR POWER SECTOR. you can collaborate with the power minister and get things done there. Anyway, Congratulations on the success of startimes.

This is a very great achievement for naija. This is exactly what we have been clamoring for. Thanks to government for this kind gesture that will give employment to many unemployed youths.

N landers, i stay in Kano state, Nigeria and i can confirm to you that there has been visible improvement in power supply. I thought it was a mistake that we were having light for almost 16hrs a day, but with this thread, i know its for real, I am not a supporter of any government!

Messi is a wicked man! Is that how he was thought to  play ball? because arsenal field small boys,  that's why he is feeling like a king. Van persie where are u?

We have seen even more wonderful speech from past presidents in this country, believe me, its still the old wine in a new skin!
