These are my predictions.....
I see Senators cross carpeting to APC

I see Honourables jumping ship into APC

I see Governors jumping fence into APC

I see Zero opposition

I see One party state system

I see collapse of Checks and Balances from the Legislative arm of government

God help Nigeria.

You forgot that until APC came in 2014 or so, PDP didn't have opposition from 2003 to 2014.
As at 1999, AD was the only opposition to PDP.
By 2003 election, Obasanjo's rigging machine swept AD from the entire SW states with only Tinubu surviving in Lagos till 2008/09 When AC got SW back through the courts.
Just a lesson in history, go and research my post for verification.

Has anybody noticed how slowly Taiwo Awoniyi is disappearing into oblivion like Macaulay Chrisantus? From 2013 Golden Eaglet to 2015 Flying Eagles and 2016 Olympic U-23 qualifiers, he was the most consistent goal banger. By the final selection of Olympic team, he didn't make it and he has disappeared since then.
Until he fights his way into reckoning and considering the way new strikers are emerging nowadays he might might be lost completely.

You said my mind. I have long been wishing this happens to the politicians.

I tire oh, na this kind people go dey shout " why 70+ yrs old still rule us" when they reason far below their uneducated grandparents generation.
Money wey dem take pay this one school fees na waste.

As an Edo, I'm glad that my state is one the top states in this regard at least. Thanks to Oshiomhole for his effort at taking out of FG dependents.
That's why a serial politician like most states have is a disaster for economic development.
Tinubu was forced by Obasanjo's administration to look inwards and tap available resources to run his programs.
Oshiomhole learned from that and Edo is economically better for it.

then why do prostitutes get violently mad over unnecessary issues?........... this postulation is so wrong......everyday, people keep giving theories to bring people down to their level of immorality.......

The case of prostitutes is a different one, those are angry that their lives no longer has values, their inner being has been shattered and lost.
Their sense of self worth is zero.
It's another kind of frustration in their case.

She way ahead of her age due to hyper sex-tivity for her age.
Lots of teenage girls insulting her here are too young or less active to know that sadly, she's right.
Have you been a student to, a younger colleague to a 35plus unmarried lady?
Especially the 40+ ones without a man of their own, if you are observant you 'll notice that they get easily irritated, impatient generally boss?
Why do you think that is?
Older men and women know but nobody openly admits it.

“For me to become the first female Nigerian mechanic"

First female Nigerian mechanic? Ahan! Na lie nah.

Abeg, who has the picture of that lady mechanic from Delta or so? That black lady wey dey hustle? It was posted on nairaland months ago. Which kain lie be this?

She's confirmed Nigeria's first female mechanic since the last 32yrs.
Deal with it.

Reference:
It will not work. The success of the GSM project was because it was entirely a private business concern. No company can compete with government in terms of resources and legislative power. If government establishes a cheaper alternative even billionaires will hook up, the private ones will die out. in the GSM model, the initial roll out was expensive. Massive income and clean balance sheets attracted the capital investment that enabled a spread of services to less endowed locations. This is how capitalist systems works. Government thought it was smart and tried the two track system for power. This is the result.

Good analysis but you forgot that Nitel (govt owned) also had a mobile network (ntel)as same time as econet and mtn from the start but inefficient and the typical govt company mentality killed it. Several attempts were made to sell it to investors but non materialised, the private companies that started from scratch built their infrastructure and are thriving till date.

The Nigeria Senate had a critical talk and review of the progress made after privatization of the Power Sector following a debate and discussions on a motion moved by Senator Dino Melaye (APC Kogi West), entitled “DISCOs, electricity consumers and the burden of over-billing.”

AS the Senate began discussions on the power sector in Nigeria, yesterday, a very gloomy picture was painted by senators who came to the conclusion that there was no hope of Nigeria coming out of its present power crisis.

The Senate, which noted that the power sector was in dire need of emergency response, said Nigerians would not have steady power supply because the distribution companies were bankrupt and could not, therefore, procure meters.

Consequently, the upper chamber asked that the privatisation of the sector be revisited without delay.
Senate chamber

Melaye, in his motion, said the burden of over-billing shouldered by electricity consumers in the country, even in the face of epileptic power supply by Distribution Companies, DISCOs, was totally unacceptable.

He also urged the Senate to mandate the Committee on Power to look into the astronomical electricity billing by DISCOs across the country and asked the Senate to urge the National Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, to call DISCOS to stop forthwith the practice of estimated billing.

As Daily Electricity Generation rises to 4, 197.50 MW

Melaye had at plenary on Tuesday, promised to present the motion after drawing the attention of senators to the exorbitant estimated billings being forced on consumers by the DISCOs.

In his contribution, Senator Ben Murray- Bruce, PDP, Bayelsa East, made it clear that with the manner the privatisation was carried out, operators in the power sector, such as DISCOs, were in serious difficulty.

Therefore, he recommended that the Senate prevailed on government to revisit the privatisation.

Murray-Bruce, who declared that Nigerians have a catastrophe in their hands as far as the sector was concerned, said those currently running the sector were technically deficient due to a lot of factors not envisaged at the time the privatization was executed.

He said: “They are technically bankrupt, unless we revisit the entire privatization process, unless we understand and dissect what went wrong, we will still get estimated billing.

“We have a catastrophe on our hands, there will be no power in Nigeria until the current structure is reviewed.

“Those who privatised the sector did not imagine that naira will be devalued from N160 to about N400 now. Those who invested in the business thought it was like a company where they will make a lot of money.

‘’I believe they only had enough money to pay the federal government and make the initial investment; they did not have the capacity to run a power sector company in a modern economy.”

In his contribution, Senator Mustapha Bukar, APC, Katsina North, while lamenting the ugly situation of the power sector, said that going by realities on ground in the sector, the country was sitting on an emergency without any sign of immediate solution.

According to him, though the nation has capacity for generation over 12,000mega watts, only 4,000mw have been achieved at any time, out of which 1,800mw are paid for by consumers, making the providers to be in perpetual indebtedness.

Senator Bukar, who is the Deputy Chairman, Senate Committee on Power, said: “The problem we have is the inefficiency within the system which we have actually so far not decided to address.

‘’ I will give you a small example: Nigeria has an installed capacity of 12,522 Megawatts of power. We have non-available capacity of 5,300; we have non-operational capacity of 3,180; meaning that the amount that is actually available is just over 4,000 Megawatts out of 12,500.

“We have transmission loss of 228, we have distribution loss of 447 Megawatts. At the end of the day, only 3,800 Megawatts reach the consumer. And we have commercial loss of more than 36 percent.

“So, what is actually being paid for out of the over 3,000 Megawatts is only 1,800 Megawatts. So unless and until we decide to look at these inefficiency within the value chain, there is no way we can have better electricity generation, distribution and also billing system in the country.

For once, the senate has debated a long overdue matter of national interest and economic significance.
The error was made when the govt of that era hurriedly sold out the power to local companies of their croonies with the only thought how much they could make from power. No realistic and thorough analysis of the entire process was duly done.
Our engrs in this field like their colleagues in construction industry have perpetually failed us.
I want to believe that some local power energy consultanting companies did the feasibility studies for the eventual buyers. As you may have known some of experts are only experts on paper with of local and international degrees but typically lacking applicable skills to resolve problems in their field of acclaimed expertise.
The local experts would have the right capacity to get quality work done will never be given the job if they can't lobby for it through kickbacks or "man know man".
Until punishment is duly served those who fail to perform their given tasks, failure 'll remain our national "honour".

Stop writing trash.
Are nigerians not always the ones trying to compare themselves with other people. ?
Even the vice president of nigeria had to compare nigeria's jollof to other people's own. (Just imagine )

Besides who doesn't know nigeria is a useless country?
Which country in Africa wants to be like nigeria? None.

And who doesn't know Ghana is far better than nigeria?
Any sensible human will choose Ghana over nigeria.

Of course Ghana and nigeria are not mates.
How can a useless poor underdeveloped zoo like nigeria be equal to Ghana ?

See how bitter your soul is...
You need deliverance bitterness or your health will suffer seriously.

It's known tactics an aspiring contestant uses to get attention by constantly challenging the Champion of the event in question.
Ghana and lots of other African countries needs to keep challenging Nigeria in order to remain in the limelight. It's not by force but by grace, Ghanaians need to know that whether things work in Nig or not Nig is not Ghana's mate.

Your ignorance stinks. He put up a valid argument for his position and you ran to post stupidity.
Will Ozekhome eat him?
He and Ozekhome who has more credibility? Falana has been consistent in his human right and constitutional activism since i first heard of over 20yrs ago in my university days.
Ozekhome ran away from same activism to start defending polithiefians to get his own share of their loot.

A women in 50s and probably a mother, in a senior cadre of a university in a such a display of cannibalism in a public office?
Only God knows what her husband faces at home (if she has one).

For once, somebody appreciating her father for his sacrifice a rare attribute of young people today.
But she no try at all with this kind naked picture.
Tomorrow them go say men dey sexualise women, can this public picture earn her any respect?

This should trend on Twitter and the likes to embarrass the mgt of Nddc.
This is an overall govt problem but the wickedness of the heads of these agencies and they should be exposed and embarrassed.
This is how we can use citizens power to force govt officials to do their job.

Here are lovely photos of former Super Eagles captain and striker, Daniel Amokachi, who has been elevated to the position of Technical Director of Finnish League side, JS Hercules. Daniel Amokachi was appointed coach of the team in January 2016, but will now work with the team in a bigger capacity.

The former Nigeria international revealed the information on his Instagram page on Wednesday.

"Excited to announce that I will be transitioning to the role of #TechnicalDirector at @jshercules #theamokachis #kakkonen #football #futbol,” amokachi wrote.

D. Amokachi took the time to explain the decision to the first team together with the chairman : “It was hard for me and for the players but we all know that this is better for the team. I still go to the training sessions and I will continue to help them with one on one sessions to improve their football skills“. In this way, D. Amokachi will continue as a valued member of the team while focusing on other aspects of club work.

So, Amokachi's Tunisian model wife stayed with him all these while?
I thought she left him when his career ended abruptly due to injury and money slowed down.

His only short coming is that he is the father of Lucky Igbinedion...

If he had managed his businesses well, by now he could have been one of the richest men in the world. Okada Air, which was the first private Airline in Nig in the 80's- 90s would have become a global brand, employing thousands of Nigerian youth home and abroad and raking in forex.
Canada dry, only soft drink that gave Pepsi and Coka Cola a run for their money in 70s and 80's would have had several plants all over Africa by now and thousands of Nigerians employed.
He used his money for lavish birthday parties, killed creditor banks like the Biggest state owned of the 70s- 80s, New Nigerian Bank.
He would've been seen as a hero of Edo as he was seen back then till his pride and arrogance earn him the curse of his embittered employees etc.
