He is dead. So can we close the chapter now.

@chino24, What's your problem, man!. Is Umulokpa in Uzo-Uwani anywhere near Anambrs state. There is no mix up whatsoever. I expect a local govt chairman to know the difference between Umulokpa and Igbariam and aguleri. Orient oil company has been based in Enugu right from inception. It's proper to invite them first to explore our oil before Oando for example.
Grow up Mr. man. You are acting very childish here. Expunge hate from inside of you.

....eeehmmm, where is the truck ?. What i see on this picture is not a truck.

chino24: Nwanne please tell the crazy bald heads. Don't mind this wawa people and there stupid claims, they should put effort harnessing their coal and also farming which they are known for alongside Ebonyi. Silly peeps

Nnaa, your comment here displays your innermost contempt for Enugu people. Please cure yourself of your inferiority complex. How on earth could the Chairman confuse Umulokpa in Uzo-uwani with Igbariam or somewhere close by where oil was discovered in Anambra state. They are two very separate and distinct villages.
You must be one of those retarded traders who never see anything good from Enugu. Why would the "wawa"claim be stupid and the one from 'Agba enu" not. I'm happy for any progress that happens anywhere in Igboland all the way to Rivers, bayelsa and delta states. Why are you trying to throw a wedge amongst Igbos by making such ediotic statement.
YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY IF OIL IS FOUND IN ENUGU AND NOT JEALOUS. Your comment here shows a high level of jealousy. People like you repulse me. Anu-ofia !.

P:S, Orient petroleum is an Igbo owned company. So we give them priority whenever oil is discovered anywhere in the SE. Do you now understand why Orient was mentioned.

For the records, Banjo is okay. We don't have problems with Banjo. What happened to him was in line with military practise all over the world. He plotted against his commander-in- chief and was executed. Same thing happened to Igbo officers who tried to sabortage Ojukwu.
Awolowo on the other hand was a despicable,double-crossing rat. He is not on the same pedestal with Banjo as far as the Igbos are concerned. I respect Banjo regardless.

boyendowed: It's funny when people say Nigeria will never break.I believe Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia also said the same thing and we hate each other more than they did in Yugoslavia.

Then be prepared to die in the process like many died in the former Yugoslavia. All their former leaders are still at the war-crime tribunal.
Yoruba nations have the least chance of breaking away for obvious reasons.

Bullcrap !!. He removed a governor for stealing N300k and then stole N20billion himself. He created most of our problems today.

Wishful thinking !. Nigeria will never split along those lines. The only split possible is a North-South divide. That is also the most viable and advantageous to every section.
The second option is a Switserland type confederation. The Niger Delta has zero chance of separation. If the old Biafra could not succeed, no other Southern state would in today's Nigeria. We all need to sit down and talk.

femmy2010: N650k would clear each.

Why charge so much ? !!.

GEJ, Bath Nnaji, Alison-Madueke, Okonjo-Iweala and Aganga are on the right track. keep up the good work. we just don't want temporary improvement, but a permanent end to power failure in Nigeria.
That is all we ask from this administration. Just give me constant power. I will deal with BH myself.

I'm not interested in her hair. Let me know when you post a picture of her lovely back-side. The best donk in Nollywood. I definitely would...

For N550k my ML 320 will be yours. Gear box needs to be changed. Take your time to fix the car and you have yourself a sound Mercedes SUV. Engine is 100% ok.

Kobojunkie: LIE 1: You can a thriving healthcare system without 24/7 Power supply. There are hospitals(mostly catering to international workers) in that country that have so far been able to survive in that same Nigeria in all this time. Of course 24/7 electricity will help but you can have a thriving healthcare system in place without electricity.

That is not entirely true. What do you think the country has been running on all this while? teeth juice? Of course those generators that have been running all these years constitute energy and they have worked well so far. The Solar panels that have designed some streets in Lagos have yet to complain. That is energy.


LIE 2: Jobs can exist without 100% power. What do you think those who have been propping up our economy for years have been doing? Scrubbing their bums? Definitely it would be great to have 100% electricity but there is not enough of a reason to focus on just power, especially when you consider cost and how long it would really take to reach even 10% Power need, let alone 100%


Again, not enough of a reason to vote back in a government that seems to be one dimensional. Power does not solve all things. We all know that in our private lives, but it is just that some you are too insincere to consider reality when you try to make your points, whatever they are.

Jesus Christ !!, how could you sink so low. These comments here are incredibly ridiculous. You have sold your thinking faculties to the dogs just for the sake of arguements. You're are a very self-absorbed person. Saying utter nonsense in a seemingly educated fashion. People like you are dangerous to the society.

CORRUPTION. Pure,unadulterated corruption is a major cause of the absymal performance. A situation where sports administrators earn much more than sports coaches except in football can never produce olympic champions.Funds voted for training and equipments are grossly embezzled. Athletes are paid peanuts even when the money is available to pay them better.

Jamaican population is just over 2 million. They are descendants of West Africa, if not mostly Nigeria. They share the same gene pool with us. There are many Usain Bolts walking around in Nigeria. The sports administrators just have to find them and nurture them.
Nigeria can afford to hire a Jamaican athletics coach. So, why don't we hire one.

antitpiah: This Ibo girl fugly sha. Linda, not bad . . . just annoying biatch

How do you define beauty ?. Chibundu is in no way ugly. You just get badbelle for an upwardly mobile, fine Igbo babe.
Post your chimp shots let's compare.

Ama28: I really won't give him my vote come 2015 even if he improves electricity. His decision making and implementing strategy is zero, his anti corruption strategy zero. He has the zeal to make a change on electricity but if Obj had the same degree of zeal GEJ has on electricity, he would have improved it. I want a leader that can solve more problems and save lives. We have lost more lives in his tenure than that of most leaders of our time. No No No!!!! He has to go.

The big question is; Which leader? .IBB received over $12billion gulf oil windfall, ruled by military decree, had no wahala from any national assaembly populated by dimwits, could spend any amount of money where ever he wants to. OBJ was in a similar position the first time he ruled. Yet, nothing was done whatsoever to improve power supply.
We have to thank God for GEJ now. At least, he is serious about it.

Kobojunkie: 1) You made no sense, and answered no question. In fact, your post is incoherrant and all over the place but I will attempt to bring you back to the discussion

2) The Power stations you are enjoying today are also as a result of Obasanjo spending some of the money he squandered on building the power stations that are today going online and supplying you electrcity you are rejoicing about.

3) Starting from the basis does not mean electricity. If Governments were elected to be one dimensional then the world you know today would not be the way you see it .. . infact, I doubt we would have solved the power problem at all.

4) Basis includes things like infrastructure, security, food and water, Educations, Healthcare, Power, employment, economy. Suggesting you can ignore some and focus just on one, is exposing the degree of ignorance you are working with .

What you cannot or refuse to comprehend is "incoherent"to you. Go back and read my comment again, maybe you will begin to understand that the question you raised on " Should we elect or vote for a president solely on his ability to slove the power problems in NIGERIA" is answered with a resounding YES by me. If you cannot fathom my writing style, then i don't have to need to reply to your very empty posts. The biggest and easily solvable problem we have in Nigeria now is power supply.
What our former heads of state lacked was the WILL to tackle it. GEJ has shown he has the will and a way has been found. I hope this is comprehensible and coherent to you. Or should i space it out with numbers to make it clear to simpleminded people like you.

Kobojunkie: Correction: This thread is on whether you will re-elect a government that has yet to build a power plant solely on grounds of it,by MAGIC,fixes the Power problem by 2015.

Please never ever compare America or the minds of Americans to Nigerians. Every Emeka, Sule and Mohammed knows never to do that. In America, Americans generally consider a whole array of issues before they go to the polls. Nigerians however, on the majority cast their votes for silly things like "he is trying", "he is annointed", "he fit change", "i hate the north", "my back dey pain me", "he represents my ethnic group" . . .etc.

No country on this planet yet has problems that are brand new. Even here in the US, many of the problems date back to before Nigeria dreamt of independence. In Nigeria however, the key problems are not just one. There are still many of them. We are talking HealthCare, Security, Infrastructure, Education, Food & Water, Power, Employment, and the Economy. To suggest that one of those is more important than the others is to submit that one does not really understand the situation.

What good will power be to over 18 million students in our schools if after 4 years, our Education system is allowed to rot to the point that companies have to look even more outside for help they desperately need to maintain the power projects(we push 5 million more people into the unemployment lines) leading to increase in unemployment, increase in poverty etc.? What good will power do if after 4 years, and so many billions of dollars later, terrorism becomes normal life for millions more Nigerians than what we have today? I can go on but I think we need to get a better grip of what our situation is and what decisions we need to make.

Electing a president solely on his ability to fix power, would have probably made sense back in 1984, but we have more intertwined and complex problems that it would be foolhardy to match to the polls thinking a one dimensional attacker is what will help us.

Listen, my firend, i don't know why you are always chasing shadows in your attempt to ridicule GEJ. All you've said above is nothing but an attempt to sound academic. Nothing but some empty academic grandstanding. IN NIGERIA, WE SHOULD ELECT A PRESIDENT SOLELY ON HIS ABILITY TO FIX POWER PROBLEMS. Why would it make sense in 1984 and not in 2015?. Could you explain that. Is GEJ not trying to do what should have been done since 1974 given the fact the the nation had more disposal income then ?. IBB was the former leader who was in the best position to solve our problem. He totally squandered our money then. The only problem that is exorcised from the power issue is Security. Every other national issue is linked to solving the power problem.Nigeria has to start from the basis. The basis is regular power supply. This should be tackled along side security. Security is a problem that is beyond the controle of many governments all over the world. Need i remind you about 9/11, the recent mass killing is a US movie Theatre and another mass killing just last week at a Sikh temple. What about the London and Spanish train bombings. GEJ should concentrate on solving the power problems. That is at least within our controle. It is realisable. He must be voted for if that is solved.

blink182: NO, there are more important things than power.

Health care
Energy
Security
Transportation
Job creation
Accepting resolutions drafted by the national assembly

most importantly, he should stop being a mo. ron

ENERGY is more important than POWER ?!!. And to think that 10 bigger m.oro.ns "liked" this imbecilic comment shows the calibre of forumites here.
Power = constant electricity = energy and that is what Nigeria needs the most right now. Job creation will jump 1000% with regular power supply. If GEJ fixes that, he will surely get my vote.

In the USA-Naija game i was only able to see the 3rd quarter. After 5 minutes i turned off the TV. It was dreadful to watch. For me the Olympics just started today with track and field.

For Ibu, it's not just being dressed as a woman, but the way he's dressed. The type of woman he wants to portray is what cracks me up. Igbos will understand.

Stoopid post !. Is it not fufu or eba that they're eating. What else were they supposed to use. However packing rice with one's hands is gross. I've seen people do that.
Chicken on the other hand MUST be eaten with hand. especially drumsticks.

TEAM GEJ is the last hope for Nigeria at this point in time. They are there to lay a solid foundation for whoever takes over after Jonathan. I just wish Okonjo- Iweala will succeed GEJ. Nigeria MUST move forward. No more backward thinking, very corrupt politicians.
There's a difference between chopping small and doing something visible for the nation and chopping everything and doing nothing like IBB and OBJ. $12billion gulf oil windfall simply disappeared with IBB. Now we are looking for $10b a year to give us regular electricity. If past govts had done any form of investments on power and energy, we will not need so much now.
WHAT A WASTED GENERATION !!.

i don't think thsi story is true. If it is, then it's a bloody waste of money. A decent burial does not have to cost so much. I like the way some rich white people bury their loved ones. No noise is made about it. It is solemn,peaceful, and intimate.
We in the SE would like to shut the entire village down.

The moderator obviously lives in Peckham or Hackney. She has singlehandedly destroyed this thread. Just lock the thread because you've made nonsense of it. This is not how to moderate. 60% of the posts are hidden. People should be free to discuss whatever they like to discuss on a social network as long as there are no personal threats.
Afam4ever's first comment saying he hoped they did not lodge at Peckham was NOT a derailmaent.

We are giving too much credit to the likes of IBB and OBJ. They no longer have any form of influence in the military. The new generation of military officers do not look up to them. Whether a coup happens or not is beyond their control.
We have a more refined armed forces now and GEJ is firmly in control.

la furia: Hmm. Who is witch-hunting this guy again?

"Witch-hunting" ke !. There's no way he could have amassed over $2 billion as personal wealth from his salary alone. Even with legal investments he did, he could not be worth that much. Who and what was he before Intercontinental bank ?.
EFCC should hurry up and recover investors money he stole. The man is a thief.
