The point mentioned are not the spinning strategies of PDP. You can ask any knowledgeable PHCN official or someone with good working knowledge of the energy sector. They are fact. A city with 2,500 megawatts with the right laws and regulations in place will enjoy more power than the same city with  3,000megawatts with the wrong laws and regulations in place.

So tell me how you can maximize the following laws that existed:

1. Only the FG can generate power and distribute

You are wrong. other states (lagos, Rivers etc) have generated and are generating before now. The issue has always been distribution. even with that how much has the FG been able to generate so far? The absence of this law isnt our problem

2. You cannot sue the power authority i.e PHCN

It will be a good law if enacted but that doesnt stop the FG in power generation and distribution initiative which they are presently failing at. the absence of this law isnt our problem

3. Even if power is generated from a private source, it must be fed into the national grid for PHCN to distribute

This i agree must change and it will assist but it doesnt explains why the govt has so far generated so little. so the presence of this law also isnt our problem

4. PHCN can distribute as they so wish

if changed, it will be cool but they will only distribute what will be generated which isnt enough. The absence of the right law in this effect isnt also our problem

5. There was no independent collecting agency so investor will find if difficult to get their investment

Same story

6. PHCN will have to provide power at the mercy of NNPC wherever they use gas to generate power

who is primarily in charge of PHCN and NNPC, is it not the presidency headed by GEJ himself?

There you go, fire on

Nigeria had less than 2,500 megawatt. Now the total output is around 3,900 megawatt. The reason the president said he preferred not to talk about megawatt yesterday is because people get it all wrong when they talk about megawatt. These are just technical terms but there are many factors to consider when you talk about electricity. for example, the use of pay as you go meters will automatically make more power available to more people and places. Also, Some cities need more power than others. And like the president said yesterday, the power and energy laws in the country have to be reviewed to even begin with before things can really work.

Demdem:
How many megawatts was on board before he became president?
How many megawatts are we generating now?
How far has he gone as far as the distribution network is concerned?

@Okada_man

You don't need to rain insults and abuses to buttress any point of yours, if you make sense I will see reason with you.

That there were a lot of inciting and provocative utterances from different quarters before and immediately after the elections is not in doubt. However, only CPC members, tacitly supported by their losing leaders, carried out their threats of unleashing violence and unrest all over the land. Hope you haven't forgotten that the election wasn't about CPC & PDP alone but about CPC, PDP, ANPP, APGA and over 40 other political parties. Why is CPC the only sore loser?

The link I posted you refused to read it or closed your eyes to it,so those irrelevant remarks you made above are struck out till you can say something objective

funkybaby:


Yes, please. I want to read more.

AjanleKoko:
It's kind of pointless blaming GEJ.

Nothing short of iron dictatorship can effect meaningful change in Nigeria in 18 months, given the current setup of rent-seekers, celebrated criminals, and a largely complacent, dis-empowered, and ignorant population. It will be nothing short of delusion to expect anything different from what is happening.

But hey, we have tried dictatorship, for 33 years, and it took us nowhere
I just tire, man.

We all watched the broadcast and he didnt do what you have posted. He didnt give any one line answer to any question. It is sad that you are willing to post falsehood out of your bad belle for this man. All his answers where elaborate. The grammer didnt matter as some here have tried to point out to us. We understood him. If you want grammer, go and watch Senator Obaigbona on Youtube. The president gave the most elaborate explanation of the various ministries in Nigeria I have ever heard from a Nigerian President and I was amazed at his knowledge of Oil, Agric, Rail and Power sectors. He even gave minute details that many have never heard before. His ability to bring everthing together was phenomena. I have watched Fashola on TV discussing issues several times and the only thing I think Fashola surpassed the president in is his English. The president showed far more knowledge of the workings of the system than Fashola has ever shown. So dont come here posting bullcrap. we didnt vote for a grammarian but for a revolutionary leader. Let him be and allow him give us his best. Whether it was live or recorded was completely irrelivant. That is actually a very petty thing to talk about and only shows how petty and bereft of news sites like saharareporters are.

Jimmy Boy:
Is this response also true or you embellished it?

Oh brother I dont think what the first poster whom I qouted above has said something wrong for you to to use the word "Accursed" this is too far a statement for God sake please bro. let learn how to be a bit reasonable in our words. And beside does Buhari has a case? I guess No because the truth is their won't be another June 12 again in Nigeria so let Buhari or CPC wait till 2015 that is just the truth.

Beaf:
The only reason Buhari is running that foolish case in court is so he cannot be arrested. Ok?
Thats why they are not even serious with their own case.

Don't worry, his case cannot last forever, at some point soon, the stup!dity they are exhibiting in court would get it thrown out.

I have no regret proposing single term



President Goodluck Jonathan said on Monday that the criticisms that trailed his proposed six-year single term had not made him to regret his action.

Mr President, i thought u said you didnt initiate it in the first instance


While maintaining that four years were too short, the President urged his critics to wait for the bill which he said he had not even forwarded to the National Assembly.

With due Respect Mr President, can u kindly shhhhaaarrrap. FOUR years is more than enough to get us kicking big time and by the way u will definately be using more than four yrs  by the end of your tenure in 2015. This statement of urs is irresponsible. Now, useless governors are saying the same.


President Jonathan who further said that the endless bloodletting in Jos, the Plateau State capital, was not in any way connected to religion, however, noted that he would not rule out the fact religion played a role in it.

Honestly Mr President, just admit you are clueless about what to do about this issue. You have no solution. It has dragged for so long? Save us all these rhetorics and resign ok.


According to him, there will soon be an improvement in the power sector. However, he said he would not disclose the megawatts to be produced or the amount to be injected to revive the ailing sector.

We av been hearing this for ages now. You wont disclose because u honestly dont know. You are definately not in charge. why cant you just admit to Nigerians or better still refer us to Okonjo (your prime minister). i know she will be in better position to tell us

Jonathan also said the Federal Government was deeply worried by the security problems dogging the country, but assured Nigerians that the problems would decrease.

Na today.


On the issue of a convocation of a Sovereign National Conference as being clamoured by some Nigerians, the President said he supported an avenue where Nigerians could discuss.

He said, “Yes, of course, I support that Nigerians must discuss. Nigerians have been discussing. I have asked the Secretary to the Government of the Federation to look into the requests of Nigerians. We are going to set up a committee.

SNC is what we need. lets discuss the foundation of this country. if we want to be together not. NASS cant give us that. Your PDP cohorts in the NASS has never had the interest of the people so u are wrong that we have been talking. The bulk of the discussions there are for themselves. This shouldnt be too dificult for a PHD holder like u. i know u will nevr converge an SNC becos u dont have such BALLS

Speaking on the issue of corruption, he said his government would not stop indicted officials from being prosecuted.

but when notin is done to indict them nko? Get an external auditor inside NNPC and The ffl ministries (petroleum, power, works and housing, presidency etc) then u will understand that Nigerians have re-defined the defination of corruption. to be honest, u are simply not sincere about corruption. Just like your days in Bayelsa, likewise u have imported into the federal level.

“Nigerians have elected me for four years. They should watch what will happen in that direction,” he stated.

We've started counting since May 2010 when to us your Presidency strarted. so far, its been Failure Galore. You can still redeem ursef though.

Only in Nigeria does a Governor spend 70 percent of his time outside of the country and claim he's working hard for his state. Not only will he say this but some morons will actually believe he's working.
