The APC lawyer that came up with this line of defense must have dropped out of university in first year. This is totally senseless. The lawyer deserves this beating...

How come the man could only point out the great among the men? How about the women? They never amounted to anything worth mentioning?

Cacawa2:
Many of the items you mentioned are already in place. Remember that Judges do not speak to the media, so you may not be informed about what is going on, I am very well informed and I can confirm it to you.

You're right. In fact, the Administration of Criminal Justice law signed 4 years ago would have been the destroyer of corruption in Nigeria if this government had followed it up. Like I always say, our problem is not the absence of law, but the lack of implementation of those laws.

hisgrace0090:
They should just declay atiku winner and allow this country to move forward.

I think INEC is planning to desand him as president.

mbos:
stop running way from your shadow

whether MWH or MW

Nigeria 5,000. while china is 5,000,000,000.

get that into your skull.

nigeria is still a zoo

You're wrong, Mr man. By that calculation, Nigeria has 43,800,000MWH, not 5000MWH. Unless you're science- or physics-inclined, you may not understand.

jayfolarin:
When God's grace flow through you, Kings will bow before you. Hate or love him, it doesn't change the fact that osibanjo enjoys unwavering God's grace that money can't buy.

Wake up man and stop allowing these politicians use your head and emotions. They came to pay him a courtesy visit him because he's the vice president. If a lame man was the VP, this is the same respect they'll accord him. What's so special about Dangote and two or three white men visiting the VP?

weavesquad:
u are senseless, wahalai, that wasn't what he meant. osibanjo is privileged to be in that position., God has done it for him.. why is it that your brothers or father isn't in that position?

Sadly you're the one who seems to be exhibiting senselessness.

iammo:
Lol, been a Vice President of the most populous black country isn't special or grace of God? And visitation by the richest black man on earth and his team of philanthropist is not grace of God, Then go and install your Peter Obi .
.

There's nothing special about being visited by these people. Anyone in that position would be visited whether he believes in God or not. It's time Nigerians liberated themselves from these arrant worships of politicians.

Dareal90s:
This is a wicked response, smack down, am sure d guy won't b able to stand again.

There's no grace of God associated with a vice president receiving people who came to pay him a visit. Liberate yourself from low thinking and man-worship.

Electricity sector of the United States
Read in another language
Edit
Net electricity generation by energy source in 2016[1]

  Natural gas (33.8%)
  Coal (30.4%)
  Nuclear (19.7%)
  Hydro (6.5%)
  Wind (5.5%)
  Biomass (1.5%)
  Other (2.6%)

Electrical generation by sources 1950-2016

The electricity sector of the United States includes a large array of stakeholders that provide services through electricity generation, transmission, distribution and marketing for industrial, commercial, public and residential customers. It also includes many public institutions that regulate the sector. In 1996, there were 3,195 electric utilities in the United States, of which fewer than 1,000 were engaged in power generation. This leaves a large number of mostly smaller utilities engaged only in power distribution. There were also 65 power marketers. Of all utilities, 2,020 were publicly owned (including 10 Federal utilities), 932 were rural electric cooperatives, and 243 were investor-owned utilities.[2] The electricity transmission network is controlled by Independent System Operators or Regional Transmission Organizations, which are not-for-profit organizations that are obliged to provide indiscriminate access to various suppliers in order to promote competition.

The four above-mentioned market segments of the U.S. electricity sector are regulated by different public institutions with some functional overlaps: The federal government sets general policies through the Department of Energy, environmental policy through the Environmental Protection Agency and consumer protection policy through the Federal Trade Commission. The safety of nuclear power plants is overseen by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Economic regulation of the distribution segment is a state responsibility, usually carried out through Public Utilities Commissions; the inter-state transmission segment is regulated by the federal government through the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Principal sources of US electricity in 2014 were: coal (39%), natural gas (27%), nuclear (19%), Hydro (6%), and other renewables (7%). Over the decade 2004—2014, the largest increases in electrical generation came from natural gas (2014 generation was 412 billion kWh greater than 2004), wind (increase of 168 billion kWh) and solar (increased 18 billion kWh). Over the same decade, annual generation from coal decreased 393 billion kWh, and from petroleum decreased 90 billion kWh.[3]

In 2008 the average electricity tariff in the U.S. was 9.82 Cents/kilowatt-hour (kWh).[4] In 2006-07 electricity tariffs in the U.S. were higher than in Australia, Canada, France, Sweden and Finland, but lower than in Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK.[5] Residential tariffs vary significantly between states from 6.7 Cents/kWh in West Virginia to 24.1 Cents/kWh in Hawaii. The average residential bill in 2007 was US$100/month. Most investments in the U.S. electricity sector are financed by private companies through debt and equity. However, some investments are indirectly financed by taxpayers through various subsidies ranging from tax incentives to subsidies for research and development, feed-in tariffs for renewable energy and support to low-income households to pay their electric bills.

Electricity consumption
Edit

Electricity consumption data in this section is based upon data mined from US DOE Energy Information Administration/Electric Power Annual 2017 files[6] In 2017 the total US consumption of electricity was 4,090.6 terawatt-hours (TWh). Consumption was essentially down from 2016, with a reduction of 45.5 TWh or 1.0% drop. This is broken down as:

Residential customers (132.58 million) directly consumed 1,378.6 TWh, or 37.03% of the total. This was down 32.5 TWh ( -2.3% )from 2016. An average residential customer used 866.55 kWh/month and with the average US residential cost of $0.1289/kWh the average monthly electrical bill would be $111.70, down slightly from 2016.[7]
Commercial customers (18.359 million) directly consumed 1,352.9 TWh or 36.34% of the total. This was less (14.31 TWh) than in 2016 even though there were over 211K new customers. An average commercial customer used 6,141 kWh/month and with the average US commercial electric cost of $0.1066/kWh the average monthly electrical bill would be $654.60, down slightly from 2016[8]
Industrial customers (about 840,300 up 2,200 in 2016) directly consumed 984.3 TWh or 26.44% of the total. This was a little more (7.6TWh) than in 2016 (+0.8%).
Transportation customers (86) directly consumed 7.52 TWh or 0.20% of the total. This was a little higher (0.2 TWh) than in 2016.
System loss throughout the total electrical grid infrastructure by direct use of the suppliers (141.1 TWh)[9] and for transmission and other system losses and for unaccounted for loads (226.1 TWh) amounts to 367.2 TWh or 9% of the total which is down by 0.1% from 2016. Thus, the US electric distribution system is 91% efficient and efficiency has improved slightly over the last year.
In addition from consumption from the electrical grid, the US consumers consumed an estimated additional 23.99 TWh from small scale solar systems. This will be included in the per capita data below.

Electricity consumption per person (per capita) is based upon data mined from US DOE Energy Information Administration/Electric Power Annual 2017 files[10] Population[11] data is from Demographics of the United States. Per capita consumption in 2017 is 12,632 kWh. This is down 229 kWh from 2016 and down 7.5% from a decade ago and down 8.0% from its peak in 2007. The following table shows the yearly US per capita consumption by fuel source from 1999 to 2017.

I'm simply saying there's a difference between MWH, GWH and MW and GW. So you think China generates 5.68bn megawatts while Nigeria generates 5000 megawatts? That's far from it. The figures you brought above all end with H ie MWH (meaning megawatts hour) which is totally different from MW.

Ratello:
*POWER GENERATION AS AN INDEX OF DEVELOPMENT*

China. 5,682,000,000MW
USA. 4,324,000,000MW
India. 1,368,000,000MW
Japan. 995,000,000MW
UK. 338,000,000MW
Nigeria. 5,000MW

Copied: African Outlook.

Any hope of Industrialization? Just thinking loudly!!!

When we are telling the shameless supporters of this government of propaganda that good governance don't come by wishful thinking they will go ballistic and start to pour out venoms defending this useless government on empty stomachs and under extreme hardship. Nigerians, there you have it.

Wrong calculation. The above figures should be MWH (megawatts-hour not megawatts). China currently generates 6,495,100,000MWH (according to Wikipedia) or 712GW (ie 712,000MW) not 5.7bn MW. To convert MWH to MW divide it by (24x365).

No head-tie?

Enough evidence to prove the kind of Church the wayward creatures worship with.

If I should ask you now whether you're born again, you'll start foot dragging the answer, but you have made yourself the Judge General of all ladies, whereas you're most likely living the same kind of wayward life you're accusing them of.

garfield1:
Perhaps i disagree with your hateful comments

Grow up man. You're fund of doing this to many people (including myself). You share people's comments especially those that don't have likes, as a way of shaming them. You're just fooling yourself online carrying APC's matter on your head like a slave.

It's like this Rivers election will be reconducted afresh or is that the Supreme Court are simply confusing themselves?

This man's jazz will surely expire - it can't last forever.

Fake headline. He said during his stay as the officer in charge, not recently.

Useless thread. This is what's fueling tribalism and hate on Nairaland. Igbos and Yoruba are known to always diss each other, so what do you expect? Don't Igbos do the same thing to Yoruba? I'm not from either of the tribes, but I see no sense in this thread. And for those saying this kind of thread cannot make front page, I want to tell you that your tomfoolery is classic. The supermod in charge of moving threads to FP is an Igbo, so are you saying he's also anti-Igbo?

A very tall dream, but nonetheless, it's achievable.

Hmm... Lalasticlala, can you do the same thing?

Africa ’s richest man , Aliko Dangote , on Saturday, revealed that he once withdrew $ 10 million just to look at it and prove to himself that he was indeed rich.
He said this at the Mo Ibrahim governance weekend in Abidjan, while he was chatting with the convener, Ibrahim .
In the video, which was shared on the YouTube page of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, Dangote said, “ The way it is that when you first start business, your target is to make your first million . Fine , I did that. “After a year or so , I realised that I had much more , and I said ok , fine , all these numbers are just written numbers.

“One day I went to a bank , and at that time, there were no restrictions , and I wrote a cheque and cashed $ 10 m from the bank and put it in the boot of my vehicle , and I went home and I opened it and I looked at $ 10 m and I said ‘ now I believe I have money ’.”
He added that he returned the money to the bank the next day.

paxonel:
Relate the mark 2:17 you quoted with luke 23:41 and tell me why scriptures are saying repent and another time, someone who did not repent and was crucified for his sins in luke 23:41 end up making heaven .

Why will the scripture say one thing repent repent, and someone who did not repent was in paradise with christ

The man told Jesus Christ: 'Remember me in Your Kingdom'. That's a sign of repentance. And he also said: 'We're being punished for our sins, but this Man has done nothing', thereby acknowledging his sin. If he wasn't repentant, he wouldn't have shut the other fellow down and then ask Jesus to remember Him in Heaven.

paxonel:
and you expect me or anyone else to be that simply because you are saying it?

I'll rather believe the bible

Matt 3:2 - And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mark 2:17 - When Jesus heard [it], he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Failure of leadership from the state govt. But I thought people say Bonny is like a mini New York in Nigeria.

Uncle blogger, I hope Lalasti-clala edits this your thread title before taking it to FP, because it's so wacky. There's a difference between Sénate and NASS.

MODIFIED
Better off than the former.

Because you're eyeing ministerial position, abi?

That one is bishop from Ozuubulu.

OK, thanks.

When are you going to outgrow this tribalism you've taken up as your past time sport? When are you going to be mature enough to know that that you're just fooling yourself online with this your constant tribalism tirades?

iammo:
Nigeria is a Country of 3 major nations similar to English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh, my ultimate loyalty is firstly to the yoruba nation. It's your problem if you let others marginalise you so that you don't have a functional sea port or airport nor a refinery yet you are a major tribe.

Just read what you wrote and tell me the correlation it has with what's on hand. Where does the issue of seaport crop up from?

Is this not the same Bishop who is reputed to be into drugs in South Africa? Was he not the one whose father was murdered in church including other church members, last year? Just asking pls.

NwaAmichi:
haven't you been following the recent incidents

I've been following it, but I just felt she was giving a platform to tribal bigots to begin another round of war.

It's sad. But I hope he was not a member of a cult group, because he may have been killed by a rival cult group and then robbed to make it look like a robbery operation.

Aiam not understanding this. Why was she very particular about revealing his name and at the same time telling us to refrain from tribalising the crime?

Run for your life, Mr man. There's no difference between them and some so-called Pentecostal churches whose pastors use diabolical powers to hoodwink their members and perform fake miracles up-and-down.

Came4apost:
Not people like you whatever you see on wiki is very much correct only if you don't understand what you are reading .. That's nobody's problem but yours

It's like you're full of pride and at the same time confused. Those who are supporting you you lambaste them (because you cannot calm down to understand what they are saying); those who disagree with you, you do the same to them, while you continue to claim that you're educated. Which properly educated person write the way you do?

Perfectdanny:
So what happened after he recalled one battalion? What did his superiors do?

I'll leave that to your imagination.

Bolustical:
No, it's fried rice.

That is the mindset you people have, EVERYTHING MUST BE FOOD & MONEY SHARING

No thinking of the future for our children, let the politicians just share the money, reason a lot of you supported Atiku and still supports the PDP.

The problem is you people don't owe your governments to account, only for you to come down the SW to overpopulate our inadequate infrastructure and also commit crimes.

FYI, I'm not Igbo. But just know that your penchant for tribalism and always roping in Igbos into every discourse is disgusting and childish.
