Thank God you did this, I was going to have to do this once I get behind my computer.

The below are Dubai and Doha -- right in the desert!
Our climate is changing (even though I do not subscribe to the accused causes).

It is safer to avoid cities with flooding issues, or be prepared for occurrences.

Tokyo has probably the most advanced drainage system in the world (someone posted a video of that earlier) . . . even that method won't work for some cities like NY.

Doha
Dubai
Tokyo.

No, they want us to believe that we are cursed and that such occurrences like heavy rain and flooding in other laces where they have the best drainage system in the world is OK and natural, but definitely not OK and unnatural in Nigeria no matter what.


Beats me why people make silly, illogical and irrational comments.

Baroba:


I respectfully disagree sir, if this was due to hurricane or some sort of Tsunami that's understandable, but we are talking normal torrential downpour; It is happening too often to be attributed to nature, it boils down to lack of adequate planning, poor drainage system, poor road construction and everything else you can think of.. Come 2018 we will be having the same discussion all over again, no be today..

So, please tell us what Tsunami transpired in Canada, London, NY and Houston that dumped so much flood related rainfall.


Please be specific.

claremont:
Posting pictures of isolated cases of flooding in some cities around the world doesn't take away the fact that there is an endemic problem of flooding in VI and Lekki that needs to be addressed. The problem in VI and Lekki is due to a plethora of factors which include high sea bed, lack of planning, corruption etc. I would argue that it's even more ''ill-informed and ignorant'' for anyone to suggest that there is nothing that can be done to address/ameliorate the flooding in VI and Lekki. The lengths you went to to dig up photos of isolated flooding in other world cities in other to justify the result of endemic lack of planning in VI/Lekki is surprising.

1. You can do better by explaining to us with facts the factors responsible for flooding in NY, Japan, Houston and Canada.

Is it corruption, lack of planning or high sea level. What's responsible for flooding in the places I listed?


2. I never asserted that or suggested that nothing should be done, I only let you and your kind know with pictures that flooding is not limited to Lagos and that flooding occurs in even the most developed cities in the world, learn how to read and comprehend.

VickyRotex:
As in ehn!! Tell them o. Even Canada had it share recently. Some part of Quebec especially.

God bless you brother. No mind all these mainland bad belle

Many of them are too knee deep in hatred, bitterness, tribalism and ignorance to formulate any sensible and rational point of view.

Danielmoore:
I thought they said Lagos is like london

No city or area on the surface of the earth is immune to flooding even in London, England

Mother nature wrecking carnage and flooding everywhere has nothing to do with being developed or having the best drainage system.


Stop making ill-informed and ignorant comments.

Desyner:
Keep confirming ur ignorance for all to see. You think "evacuation of power" into the national electricity grid covers 20% of the transmission infrastructure upgrade required to effectively get them across to consumers? Your are obviously ignorant of what an electricity grid is and how one works. Keep spewing vile words. Even from the time of Jonathan our generating capacity exceeded our transmission capacity.
For you to claim Fashola is delivering as expected then that translates to him hitting the ground running by prioritizing transmission projects over generating projects. What about estimated billing on the side of the customers? For your info, I am no Jonathan or Buhari apologist talk less of being a blind one.
I am only a patriotic Nigerian who understands the working of electrical power systems in so much details to allow misinformed people like you mislead the teeming public.

[/s]



Abeg keep quiet with your redundant and layman ignorance and diversion.


Your question was what the minister is doing about the transmission grid and I supplied that information to to show you how clueless and ignorant you are about your own country, how void you are about current affairs and even the information you requested, but as usual with you empty and shallow internet loudmouths, you lashed on to another silly rant, but common sense and logic which you obviously don't have dictates that if you are going to quote percentage or any definite assertions about the power grid and what's needed to evacuate every generated MW, you should lay bare before us credible data per the average % evacuated daily, the shortfall % and the exact amount of % and upgrade needed in every corner of the country for optimal performance across the board and while you are at it, also show us the audit you conducted that necessitated your ignorance and baseless assertions.

You can not tell us that the minister is clueless about the transmission issues in Nigeria because it's on record that they have identified the issues plaguing the system and they've drawn up solutions, they've identified areas to addressed and on top of that, they've secured $5.2 billion from the world bank to address the power situation in the country.

If you really are interested or patriotic as you asserted, why not just do a little research instead of asking lame questions on the internet.

You see, I know jokers like you, you get on the internet to spew rubbish while trying to sound informed when in fact all you have is the same layman and ignorant rubbish that you can not back up with any credible official data, audit report or mitigating solutions.


Also, the fact that you are or not other people's apologist doesn't mean you are entitled to rubbish and misinformation on the internet.


Again, go back to your original request and my response, then show us your own credible data and transmission audit that says the government's transmission effort is useless, until you are able to do that, you are just another ignorant joker spewing rubbish without facts.


About estimated billing on the side of the costumers, this again amplified your ignorant and weak consumption of news and current affairs in your own country.

It is on record that the minister is on the side of the customers when it comes to billing and his position was wildly publicized in recent months.

THE Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola, yesterday, threw his weight behind popular resistance to estimated electricity bills not conforming to services delivered by the Electricity Distribution Companies, DISCOs.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/02/electricity-fashola-backs-resistance-estimated-billings/

Also, the government is distributing millions of meters to consumers.


Now, that after trashing your initial nonsense, you gyrated from transmission and I'm sure after trashing that also with facts, it's going to be another rubbish and irrelevant nonsense from you so I'm ready because I know your type, you fraudulently move from one position to the next after getting trounced.



Go for it, I'm here and ready for you.

godquality:
Still using hydro? We no dey try at all. With the amount of sun we get daily for this country and other newer and better technology that's being used in developed countries to generate electricity, my beloved country still dey use hydro....

What is wrong with hydro and where in the world they don't use hydro.?


Many of you really think you are smart, but you are not, you all sound ignorant.

Desyner:
Your deficiency in the understanding of the workings of power system is obvious. There is nothing like hydro transmission. Power grid is all about multiple interconnection of power generating plants to interconnected users in order to create more relaible power delivery.
Let me rephrase. What is going to be the net transmission capacity of our national grid when those mushroom projects are completed?

Shut up and quit spewing rubbish.


You asked what the minister is doing to fix the transmission lines and I gave you exactly what you asked for where the minister explained in plain English what he's doing to fix the problem, but as usual, it flew over your can't read and comprehend head.


Now, the next silly question is the capacity and mushroom projects. So, the fact that some of them are hydro power plant mean you don't need transmission system to evacuate generated electricity. Are some of you really slow and retarded or you people just play dumb and retarded because you have nothing better to formulate inside your vacuous brains?

Please shut your ignorant mouth. You people just argue like 2 year old kids.

seguno2:
Thanks.
They have changed their promise on that one also.

The promise included your ND terrorists brothers blowing up gas pipelines right?

What is this clown saying? Stay off crack.

Desyner:
you kept spilling irrelevant facts and insults. What is fashola doing as regards transmission. What are the figures? Talk straight

Do you know how to read and comprehend because you obviously did not read what I posted.

You are basically confirming what I said about you ignorant can't read and comprehend ipobs.

ChiefSweetus:
You are quite possibly a cretin and most certainly a lunkheaded oaf! Don't come at me unless I send for you. Atavistic peasant!

Abeg shut your ignorant and dirty unintelligent mouth.

Desyner:
Fashola is inheriting most of these projects n completing them.
How many has he started?
What transmission upgrade is he carrying out?
He isn't as competent as u guys make him look.

Since 2013, when power was privatised, government became a regulator through NERC. At the same time, government is directly involved in the expansion and maintenance of transmission lines through the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

Just as several road projects were abandoned, several power projects were also left uncompleted. According to Fashola during a recent press briefing, his ministry inherited over 100 transmission projects abandoned by contractors who were not paid for about three years.

Part of the mess was that over 800 containers, which contained transformers and a host of other electrical materials, were abandoned at terminals with no provision made to clear them in 2015. These are critical materials needed to complete stranded power stations to boost power supply.
Adopting the same step he took on abandoned road projects, Fashola’s preoccupation is to resume work on the affected power projects. With a budget of N26 billion in 2016, as against a meagre N5 billion in 2015, action has already begun to get the contractors back to work.


Some of the targeted transmission projects include those in Sokoto, Maiduguri, Okada, Alagbon, Damboa, Nasarawa, Gurara, Osogbo, Kashimbilla, Kumbotso and Ikot Ekpene.

Similarly, some uncompleted power transmission projects have been selected for completion. They include the Kaduna Power (215 MW), Kashimbilla Hydro-power (40 MW), Gurara Hydro power (40 MW), Dadin Kowa Hydro Power (29 MW0, Katsina Wind Power (10 MW) and 14 Solar projects (1,125 MW), etc. The interesting thing is that, for the first time, government is focusing on renewable energy, which was neglected in the past.


https://guardian.ng/opinion/fashola-and-power-supply/

You ignorant ipobs act as if NIGERIA was el dorado and Nigeria was enjoying 24/7 power supply under your PDP and jona uncles when in fact we know how they embezzled $20 billion power funds that gave us nothing but darkness they left thousands of abandoned projects all over the place, they left tons of power supply containers unclaimed everywhere.



Of course many of you are ignorant, you don't read and you don't keep up with current affairs apart from ipob news from your ipob blogs.

ChiefSweetus:
Your ignorant mother die first. Do I look like a political or tribal lackey?? Fùck you. Fùck Jonathan. Fùck Buhari Fashola and Obasanjo. Fùck Nnamdi Kanu. And fùck you again!

The fact that you are or not a political or tribal lackey doesn't mean you should sound ignorant and retarded.

lol @ typical village activity..

This poor roadside village ipobitch miscreant is still getting getting pulverized like rancid akpu..


Abeg have mercy on the village clown.

LordAdam16:
Osinbajo that cannot sack Magu because he is Buhari's appointee, would now sack Malami another Buhari's appointee. Would he also sack Garba Shehu who said the same thing?

What's A got to do with B and how are they related? Are the other people you listed due or destined to appear before the senate?

This man does not know the disease he is suffering from...

You must have looked in the mirror. Are you not the one suffering fro the disease because at your old age, you still can not make informed and intelligent distinctions between different issues and personalities..

That's how they were yelling for Lawal, in the end, Buhari pulled the rug from under their feet.

Anyway, he is justifying his pay. Let him continue.

And what are you justifying? Your ignorance?

achieverme:
First of all, there is nothing like a jaundiced brain. Jaundice is a manifestation of extravascular hemolysis on the sclera of the eye. So, you just show that you are a compound idiot by trying to sound superior. Cursed fool.

Secondly, section 171 of the constitution stated that the president has the freedom to appoint heads of parastatals, including EFCC Chairman, without recourse to the Senate. So, your argument is not only lame, but also stupid

See blows, upper cuts and TKO.

He will remain the EFCC chairman as long as I remain the acting president and as well as Muhammadu Buhari remains the president,” he said.

Case CLOSED







Saraki OBA awon Ole, acting presido said fcukk you and your looting and stealing disciples, the ball is now in your court.

You guys should show mercy

These village clowns don't deserve any kind of mercy I swear. They are the most ignorant, unintelligent and annoying clowns ever.

They think I should be ashamed of houses with brown roofs in Ibadan when in fact it's a sign of my rich past and heritage. These jokers are dumber than melted and bent kobo.


The confused losers want us to believe that they are the smartest, they are the richest, they are superior, they are the most educated and they own everything in Nigeria from Lagos to Abuja, but the same confused clowns a the same time are shouting marginalization, they are crying that they don't have anything, they don't have bridge, they don't have deep seaport even though they clowns don't have any sea or ocean in their akpu villages...


We all know why the clowns don't want to go back to their villages, it's because they don't want to return to the same sadness and misery they left in the first place, they don't want to return to the jobless, socially bankrupt and unproductive existence in their worthless villages


You can't help but feel sorry for these losers.

You village clowns must really think pictures of Yoruba folks with tribal marks are insults or embarrassing when in fact it's the other way around. Why should I be ashamed of my culture and tradition?

The fact that you villagers have zero identity, self-worth and sense of belonging don't mean same applies to the rest of us.


I love my people, tribal marks and all so kindly kill yourself if it troubling your soul

afonjaheadhunt:
Off topic, not again, I can imagine what your parent go through with you, they must be really ashamed of you. Scratched face.

Coming from a low life and insecure shameless liar, a low self-esteem clown domiciled in his akpu polluted village thinking Yoruba people are losing sleep over his eventual exit from Yorubaland.


Look here, I made it clear with facts that we don't need you and we won't miss you. In fact, you nothing but liability and dirty presence in Yorubaland and we can not wait to see you and your kind pack your load and head back to your backward and unproductive villages.


Just imagine these confused losers. You want to leave, you want biafra, but you are crying and saying you don't want to leave or go back to your biafra because other people will miss you. Why care about other people missing you? Why not just go if you really really want your biafra nonsense.


You ipobitchies sure know how to overestimate your irrelevant importance...

As for your rants create another thread and mention me, I will ridicule you with the reality you hate to see, I am sure many other Igbo's will too, so create a thread for that and mention me too, meanwhile if you are to post another crap make sure it relates to the topic being discussed.

I was expecting a sane and rational response from you, but not the same meaningless and unintelligent nonsense

Maybe the beatings you are receiving in this thread is killing you mentally.

MaziOmenuko:
I don't even understand what status quo means in this case. He will remain a senator until the process is concluded, so whats the need for a status quo judgement? Is the judge saying that INEC should suspend all verification or are they saying INEC should maintain the status quo of verification?

I hope Dino is getting value for the money he paid because this status quo judgement get k-leg.

Maybe he filed some kind of stop order or injunction with the court to stop INEC and the recall exercise, but I'm looking for the for such request.

MaziOmenuko:
Lol...so he finally saw a judge willing to sell judgement to him?

They are always available on cash and carry basis.

CROWNWEALTH019:
