you are the one spewing illogical trash & reasoning like a child.

https://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/adam-smith-international-partner-zone/nigeria-power-electricity-africa

read that, you will see that as at 2014, Nigeria was already generating 4000mw, the same MW you kids are jumping & celebrating today.

am done with you.

Nigeria: Power supply now 3,061mw

31 August 2016, Lagos – The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has sent out 3,061megawatts (Mw) of electricity generated by the electricity generation companies to the 11 distribution companies (DisCos).

as he is wholly responsible for the recession, loss of 4.5m jobs in 18 months, increase in electricity, gas prices, fraud in the IDP, budget padding (2016 & 2017) etc.

ivandragon:
didn't the OP also state he was speaking about his own area?

why are you now picking on the areas I mentioned? or are you disputing that I have stayed in those areas?

OK. fine. PMB is wholly responsible for the improved power supply. are you happy now?

as he is wholly responsible for the recession, loss of 4.5m jobs in 18 months, increase in electricity, gas prices, fraud in the IDP, budget padding (2016 & 2017) etc.

since you guys want to view issues in the extreme, fine. there is a brewing fuel scarcity with an attendant increase in PMS, diesel & kerosene are already off limits, ensure PMB takes full blame for that too.

ivandragon:
now you know its not perfect now right?

like I said, I mentioned a very specific area in Ekiti... I did not generalise.

& this was because I did not expect such an area to have regular power supply.

I have a place at Wuse II, AA, behind Biggs, light was lovely as at 2014, at Surulere (Shotayo Hughs precisely) light was also nice in 2014, but I feel the impact of improved electricity in smaller cities is a better indicator of improved power generally.

the same Fayose you guys brand as a liar is now the person you believe?

if I remember correctly, there was a major fault (a fire I think) that occurred around April or May 2014 which affected light in the SW generally, but this was rectified within weeks. so Fayose's 10 months of no light.... well...


look, you guys are cast in your beliefs & nothing is going to change that. I just feel extremes should be avoided. GEJ wasn't all bad, neither is PMB.

but when you try to attribute everything wrong to one person... well... that's a problem... after all, $16b on IPP under OBJ vanished, but I don't see you guys giving the APC navigator a had time...

ivandragon:
if you followed the discussion, you would see that you are jumping the gun.

I mentioned a very specific location in a small state (no offense intended to Ekiti people) to show that even as at 2014, there was improvement.

I could have mentioned somewhere in Abuja, Lagos or Ibadan... major cities that more often than not, have good power supply.

it doesn't mean it was perfect... whatever facts you have can simply be countered when the number of system collapses in 2016 alone.

the problem with you chaps is that you have very selective memories & are averse to opinions that put paid to your half truths...

Fayose Decries Poor Power Supply To Ekiti State

Nov 12, 2014 8:13 pm


Gov. Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State on Wednesday in Abuja said that protracted poor power supply to the state was militating against the economic and social growth of the state.

Fayose made the call during a courtesy visit on the Chairman of Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Dr Sam Amadi

Rubbish. Always tryinf to ascribe the good things to your ineffectual god, then blame bad thingd on the current administration. Abeg go and sit down and let us hear word.
Why not tell us the grounds for reccession was already being laid since 2014 too. And who told u there was good power supply here since 2014. As a matter of fact it went worse. [/b]

[b]FG introduces austerity measures

ON NOVEMBER 17, 20147:54


By Emma Ujah, Abuja Bureau Chief ABUJA—The Federal Government, yesterday, introduced some austerity measures and scaled down the crude oil bench mark for the 2015 budget. In a bid to insulate the economy from falling crude oil prices the federal government announced far-reaching policy measures to deal with the crashing crude oil prices, cutting 2015 oil benchmark from $78 to $73 per barrel. Crude oil prices dropped to $77.76 per barrel, some cents below the $78 earlier proposed to the National Assembly as bench mark for the 2015 budget

ivandragon:
while it is good to give credit when it is due, its not proper to give wrong impressions as if the current improvement (which seems confined to only highbrow areas) started with PMB.

for instance, when I visited Ado-Ekiti in 2014, there is a place called Embassy Island at Moferere. the light there was 24/7. & this is nowhere close to a highbrow area. I was 'gladly' shocked.

those who know Ado-Ekiti well can attest to this.

but since last year, they said the light has been bad & only recently improved again but still a far cry from the constant light of 2014-midlate 2015.

a better indicator to show if there has been a 'real' improvement in power supply is to use 'outskirt' states, because 'bigger' states get power before 'smaller' states.

most people who 'suddenly' praise the present power supply in some areas have ALWAYS had good power supply since 2014-2015. it became worse in 2016 & is only just improving again.

progress69:
Ok where they travelled to, they went to reduce the light there bah? Abi no be within Nigeria dem still dey? Smh for some reasoning

proeast:
Lagos is what it is, simply because the FG made it so out of stupidity of keeping everything there. Even if you put a dog as governor, Lagos will still continue to expand because a small area can not serve 180 million people without experiencing exponential growth. Lagos is the major reason afonjas keep shouting one Nigeria. They want the city to grow into the adjoining states with the contribution of other Nigerians. Smh.

chrisviral:
You just contradicted the whole "tolerance" the writer was inspired by, by singling out and again pointing out your ethnicity. The writer talked about Lagos as a city housing not one kind but all kinds of Nigerians. One would think living in the U.K would make you smarter but oh well.



Please read a book!


It is true that Lagos is a so-called Yoruba land. One can still argue that it's population might be largely made up of people from other ethnicities. Anyho, the whole idea of the piece is that, the west can learn one or two about tolerance from Lagos. Appreciate the piece for what it is and keep your "Yoruba better ethnic" bigotry self about of it.

Come at me if you wish!


Great piece.
Makes me a proud Nigerian. I'll definitely share this piece.

In Nigeria's violent religious politics, the Yoruba offer a unique glimpse of tolerance


NIGERIA is often in the headlines because of religious conflicts that have cost thousands their lives and displaced many more. But the divisions aren’t always simple and clean-cut – sometimes you may find remarkable tolerance, even within the same family, particularly among the Yoruba: testament to their long history as traders that may have exposed them to varying ideas and experiences.

One commonly cited case is that of Lagos governor Babatunde Fashola, who is a Muslim while his wife is Christian – but by far he isn’t the only case; religious intermarrying is common in south-western Nigeria.

Take for example the Koiki family in Lagos, with eight brothers and sisters, spread over six belief systems and religion is rarely a point of controversy, they say.

“It does not matter to us how and where you pray. The important thing is that you believe in God which will give you support in life”, says Iyabo, a member of the family, while preparing snacks with one of her sisters in a house in Lagos, for a celebration commemorating of the fifth year of the passing of the father of the family.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — As President Barack Obama’s presidency enters its final weeks, his national approval rating is stronger than ever — with 55 percent of registered voters saying they approved of Obama’s performance, according to a recent poll from McClatchy-Marist.

President Barack Obama bested President-elect Donald Trump as the most admired man in 2016, marking his ninth-consecutive win with a seven-point lead ahead of the incoming president in the annual Gallup poll released Wednesday. Meanwhile, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who lost to Trump in the 2016 presidential election, won the title for most admired woman, breaking records after receiving the honor for the 21st time – the 15th year in a row she’s been recognized by the majority of Americans surveyed.

Excellentmind:
Who will then break the jinx? Why then did you support Hilary since you knew she would fail?

It doesn't matter what you want or think, Americans have spoken very clearly in response to Obama's evil policies.
Meanwhile, you sound like a CNN addict. Believe every news from CNN at your peril.

Excellentmind:
But if Obama were doing well like you posited, his candidate wouldn't have lost the election with the power of incumbency, Obama played the racism card during his first campaign and a lot of people bought into it on the grounds that black American should be given a chance. As a result of which, Obama became the favourite candidate of most people in US and around the world. To this end, he was elected to bridge the divide between white and black in US and create a new mindset that will make all Americans see themselves as one. Today, Americans are more divided than ever! In his second campaign, he played gay card. And most people were of the opinion that he should be allowed to finish the second tenure and go for good. If his policies were good enough, his party and candidate would have been allowed to continue in power. Another word for Obama is failure!

BuddhaPalm:
Yeah, the same type of rating that gave Clinton a 98% chance of winning.

Work-In-Progress at UD Integrated Petroleum Production Company (UDIPPCO) site, Umuerum. Anambra State is in partnership with UDIPPCO to finance, build, operate and maintain 80MW gas-to-power plant and associated ancillary facilities in the State. This investment will boost the oil and power sector in the State, create jobs and contribute to an improved power supply for industrial production.

TheGoodJoe:

Now it is technical. Is that what you said first? Please, get it. ISIS strength grew when George Bush Jr neglected the advice of experts and fired the Iraqi military. Not Obama. Many leaders of ISIS are former members of the Iraqi military.

If Bush listened to people like Obama and do not go ahead with the insane war, we would not be in this position.

Now you guys are transferring the blame of Bush to Obama.

Daplux4:
Obama thinks he is God, he went to war in Iraq and Syria without any good reasons he killed innocent civilians and also send his campaign manager to opposition party in Nigeria then to strategize how to manipulate Nigerian election to Favour buhari now God in his infinite power returned it to him
law of karma
do unto people that u may wish them do to u

2dugged:
he talked about the fulani herdsmen menace and how commendable it was for the governor to stand by his people, the same issue your president has turned a deaf ear to because they are his brothers, and please can you tell me why Nbaka has continued to praise this government when there is obviously nothing worth praising?, pmb might not be under any investigation but he sure is guilty of making promises he cannot fulfill like a man ontop of a woman promising her the moon, anyway, you apc goons can bark all you want, when you used the redeem church to campaign under the guise of osinbajo being a member, y'all didn't complain, or did you people bribe him then?, like I said, the church is open to all, do the right thing and see if you will not get accolades from him, that's the stand of objective people, they are not blinded by political affiliation and will praise who ever does the right thing, you don't expect him to sing praises of buhari when he has not fulfilled one of his promises
Bye

2dugged:
so the stand of Nbaka is irrelevant and blind?, hehehehe, so who ever speaks against the apc is blind? Mr man go and sit down, you apc lots are pathetic

Draei:

You don't get, aim for the best position and if
at all you don't make that target, you will find
yourself getting the 2nd or 3rd position which
wouldn't be a bad result cuz you never settled for less.

2dugged:
you would have made more sense if you had attached the other pictures of apc governors and also that of buhari and co, Pastor Adeboye is not partisan and will welcome who ever deems it fit to recognize him as a servant of God, he is on the side of the people as the government affects members of this congregation,so any one who speaks against the apc has been bribed?, so tell me can we then say that Nbaka was bribed by the apc too?, let's all be objective, do you think the apc led government has been sincere in tackling this fulani herdsmen menace? Answer without sentiments and you might see clearer
