Speakership: South-West PDP leaders lament loss

As the speakership election got underway, the ACN decided to rate party affiliation far ahead of regional interests.

In fact, leaders of that party were of the view that the South-West should be denied the speakership slot, so as to stop the PDP from having a rallying point in the zone.

@dis guy,
where do u get this poison u are feeding us with? eto sue barca when they delayed his share of the transfer fee. the only time a player does not get share of the money is when the player forced his own transfer. assuming you tell the club that u want to leave and they refused, u then petition them. that is forcing your way out. but if the club willingly sale, the player is sure of at least 10 to 15% of the transfer fees.

if this lunatic(wenger) can spend good money on osaze, the guy is sure to deliver at least 25.

Fresh facts have emerged over the identity of some of the 525 firms that were prequalified last week by the Bureau of Public Enterprises to take part in the next stage of the process for the privatisation of successor companies created from unbundling of the National Electric Power Authority - the precursor to Power Holding Company of Nigeria.

Investigations revealed that for the thermal (gas powered) generating stations, some of the prequalified bidders include AES Nigeria Barge Limited belonging to the Lagos State Government, and Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO).

In a separate transaction, KEPCO [/b]in conjunction with [b]Sahara Energy, a leading integrated energy company in Nigeria, formed a joint venture - KEPCO-Energy Resources Limited (or KERL consortium) in 2006 - and is already in advanced negotiations with the BPE for the acquisition of the 1,320MW Egbin power station in Lagos.

Another company that was prequalified to bid for the thermal generation companies is Abu Dhabi National Energy Company, while Dangote Industries Limited, featured on the list of bidders prequalified to bid for hydro generating companies.

Dangote Industries, belonging to business mogul Aliko Dangote, is believed to have expressed interest in acquiring controlling interest in the 600MW Shiroro Hydroelectric power station located in the Shiroro Gorge along the Kaduna River in Niger State.

For the distribution companies, companies revealed to have been shortlisted by the BPE include Hneso Energy Consortium; Israel Electric Corporation/Integrated Power Connect Projects; Oando Consortium; Tata Power Company; North Delhi Power Limited; and China Southern Power Grid Limited.

Run 4m Indian firm & Dangote for power stability, as we speak Indian govt. is about 2 sentence some guyz 4 life parole b/c of corruption issue.

1.We shld do anything 2 stop any Indian company 4m energing, they're crooks & highly corrupt like some Nigerians.

Listen: the reason Ajaokuta Steel Company, International Glass Idustry, Aba  are not functional are Indians, I don't want to go into Churchgate in Aba also where they moved all originals machines to India & replaced them with scrap. Combining an Indian company with Nigerian backgroung wld cause more problems 4 us than solve the power issue.

2. Dangote wld make power 4 0r 5 times more expensive tha it shl be. Once Dangote emerges, he wld be running the powe sector in a way that even Nigerian govt. wld see Nigerians suffer or pay through their nose for power but wldn't have the machinery to stop or regulate him. If Nigerian Govt. seriously want 2 solve power / electricity issue in Nigeria once & 4 ever, they shldn't involve any Indian firm or Dangote.

I thought Rochas claimed he has presidential ambition,he has already killed it.Ohakim knew how he would have managed the whole issue,Owele would have been proactive in dealing with  unemployed graduates by devising a beta solution when the present administration is shouting of creating jobs,he is busy increasing unemployment. In less than a week in office he has emerged the worst governor so far and this singular has already rubished every other good thing he has in mind for the imolites.

"Stay put," said Paul Heng, managing director of Next Career Consulting Group Asia in Singapore. "I don't think there is a refuge anywhere in this world."
