The truth of the matter is that jonathan sees iweala as the messiah we've been waiting for.Even if she tries to bring economic policy that will turn Nigeria around,is she also the one to monitor corruption in all aspect of our government ?

Politics › Re: We Will Change Nigeria’s Investment Environment –president Jonathan by Demdem(m): 3:19pm On Aug 26, 2011
webprince:
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has said his administration is committed to changing the country’s investment environment, to encourage an inflow of investors and accelerate job creation. President Jonathan was speaking to Mr. Harry David, head of Leventis Group Worldwde, at the State House, Thursday. He said the Economic Management Team would take a critical look at such things like the duration of visas issued to investors, subject to whatever needs an applicant presents, and change things that need to be changed in order to provide the required environment for visitors.

President Jonathan said there needs to be a change of attitude, asking, “if countries like the United Kingdom can give ten-year visas so that the recipient can come and go as he needs to, why do we restrict ours to two years?” He said government alone cannot turn the economy around, and expressed appreciation to the Leventis Group for investing in agriculture and manufacturing, among other sectors, in the country.

Earlier, Mr. Harry David, head of Leventis World Wide, had told the President that they came to Nigeria in the 1930s, and are involved in manufacturing, packaging, food, power generation, real estate and fleet management. He said the Leventis Group in Nigeria employs over 13,400 workers directly, with an annual turnover of over N136bn.

Leave story, who else can we blame if not him. Like the other poster said, this is about the 5th or 6th bomb blast in Abuja in about a year and each time he comes out on TV to give us some cockameme bs story about how he will find and eradicate the bombers. Well so far he hasn't done it. [b]If he cannot address this very serious matter [/b]which you yourself agree it is, then he should simply say so, step aside and let us find someone else who will.
In civilized countries, I'm not sure he would have lasted this long as president given all his failed promises and obvious inefficiencies and lack of ideas.
actually, there are much more important issues that needs to be tackled. tenure elongation undecided

its wrong for you to state that all govts are simply "reactionist". a responsible govt needs to be proactive and that explains the need for intelligence gathering. GEJ has failed woefully in this regard.

Politics › Re: Fashola Got His San From Salami by Demdem(m): 9:46am On Aug 26, 2011
djustice:
Information has come to light that Fashola, while he was Tinubu's Chief-of-Staff, having being out of active legal practice for about four years, was heavily assisted in his acquisition of the SAN title which was sponsored by his boss, Bola Tinubu, prior to his running for office of Governor, by none other than Justice Isa Ayo Salami, the suspended President of the Court of Appeal.

That puts some perspective on Fashola's recent utterances regarding Justice Salami and his suspension, as well as throws some light on the depth of the relationship between Justice Salami and ACN chieftains.
u just opened ur mouth and allowed jargons to come out of it when u are not GEJ.

[quote author=dem_people link=topic=744776.msg9009132#msg9009132 date=1314319684]Sabotage is the word![/quote]What sabotagehuh Read this, its quite comprehensive. This was just recently. July 2011. we are talking about an inefficient Govt here that delights in deceiving his citizens. Failure Galore.



After one year and several billions of dollars in spending, the Federal government appears to be failing to meet critical targets it set for itself in the much publicised power roadmap which was inaugurated with fanfare.

The power roadmap had been roundly acclaimed as the best policy direction by the government and many had hailed it as capable of taking the country out of perennial darkness. But data now suggests that once again, the Federal government is failing to walk the talk in this crucial area.

One significant agenda which the government committed to attaining in the first quarter of this year was the privatisation of the eleven distribution and six generation assets. The government failed to achieve this and the privatisation of these key assets has now been delayed by one whole year.

It was hoped that getting the state-held assets into private ownership and management would spur massive private investment and job creation capable of producing the same flourish that the nation’s telecommunication sector has witnessed since the entry of private enterprises more than ten years ago.

While the Power sector reform roadmap targeted total power generation of 7,033 megawatts of electricity by April 2011, actual power generation as of Tuesday, July 12 was a dismal 3,200 megawatts.

This is still a far cry from the 5,755 megawatts of power government technocrats said would be the realistic delivery target by the end of the first quarter of this year.

Data accessed by BusinessDay show that instead of a steady increase in power generation levels, there has been a worsening of the situation, largely by the failure to supply the required gas, low water level at the hydro power plants and the delay in the rehabilitation of key but ageing thermal power plants in different locations in the country.

According to the roadmap, the transmission and distribution networks should have been reinforced by about 30 percent as of April this year. This target has also not been achieved, and curiously, for a government which puts power at the top of its agenda, questions are now being raised as to why there has been a huge gap in the funds disbursed by the government and the amount needed to get the job done.

Under the power roadmap, the government set for itself a short term twin objectives of rehabilitating1,000 megawatts (mw) of generating capacity at existing Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) power stations, and adding 1,266 mw of generating capacity from the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPPs). Data now shows that the government again failed to achieve this objective while actual power generation during the period fluctuated between 3,000 and 3,200 mw.

Investigation buy BusinessDay revealed that power plants such as those in Jebba, Kainji, Egbin and Shiroro from which the 1,000 mw was supposed to have been secured, are still undergoing rehabilitation, leading to low output.

The thermal stations being built under the NIPP scheme are not fairing better, and it now appears that the wait for gas at these stations may never come to an end as the government’s national gas master plan remains only a plan and incapable of delivering on the lofty targets set for it by the government.

At the Independent Power plant in Olorunsogo in Ogun State, four units of the plant are ready while two units are ready at the Alaoji power plant, but the prospects of them generating power remain gloomy because of poor gas supply to the locations.

At the Sapele independent power plant in Delta State where two units have been completed, generation is being held down by some technical issues relating to opening a gas supply line from the nearby Oben gas transmission station.

In the transmission sector, although some successes have been recorded, the transmission lines remain unattended, leading to a situation, as in the case of Afam, where the government still has not been able to put the power generated there into the national grid because of lack of transmission lines to evacuate the power.

In its effort to reinforce and improve the capacity and reliability of the transmission grid, government commissioned eight new 60 MVA, 132/33kV power transformers at various transmission stations nationwide as of May this year at a cost of N1.5 billion.

Similarly, investigation showed that there has been steady enhancement in the capacity and reliability of the 330kV and 132kV sub-stations as well as its 330kV and 132kV route length lines.

The government also set for itself the target of installing a distribution target of 9,057 megawatts from 5,758 megawatts as of April this year, but the target has yet to be achieved even in July.

Politics › Re: Okonjo-iweala Announces Fuel Subsidies Will Be Removed - GEJ Please Sack Her Now by Demdem(m): 8:07am On Aug 26, 2011
kalokalo:
The subsidies need to be removed. Refineries will never be viable and efficiently run in Nigeria because of our subsidized (non-deregulated) market. That is the reason the private sector have refused to invest in petroleum refining and the existing government owned refineries are hemorrhaging.

[b]Refining crude in Nigeria will not necessarily make fuel cheaper unless Nigerian refineries can run more efficiently than foreign refineries [/b]and cost of doing business is cheaper in Nigeria which we all know isn't so. Investing in Nigeria's distorted fuel market is a recipe for failed investments which is what existing refineries are experiencing. The laws of economics will always defeat whatever socio-political goals the government has.

Subsidies in Nigeria tend to be wasteful since we subsidize consumption (e.g. fuel, pilgrimages) while Western countries subsidize production (e.g. agriculture, manufacturing, R&grin)
Kalokalo, i appreciate ur response but i strongly feel that once these refineries(old and new) are running the cost of these products eventually wont be has expensive as what it will be if Goverment is to completely remove the supposedly subsidy now. Nigeria i believe can live with that if we all see the incerity in our leaders. considering the fact that the main raw materials will be sourced here for free, if that is added to the cost of refining these stuff i am quite sure of that. Also we shouldnt also ignore the rippling effect refineries will have on the economy in terms of availability jobs (both direct and indirect), more income even for the government in terms of tax and even export if possible etc.
we cant afford not to have our refineries.

So, if you don't know how much the subsidy is, what exactly are people here arguing over/defending?
The govt itself does not even know the exact amount. The figure quoted by the Minister will be different from that quoted by the minister of state  and it will be different from the one quoted by the CBN governor which will also be different from the figures submitted to the national assembly. Above all the President has a figure which no one in his government will be able to defend.
Now tell me how do u expect just a common Nairalander to know the true figure.

@Post.

i dont think there is any bond or whatever pact you are trying to insinuate. if there was, the panel that was set up by the NJC would have brought it up for the public. instead they(Salami's enemies) found him innocent from such. the only issue they have against him is they suspect he lied against the CJN and promptly asked him to apologise which he didnt.
