Gumsu, you are probably set for life courtesy of your dad’s loot. You won the lottery big!

Why can’t the government throw immigration officials asking for money into prisons?

If they aren’t being paid well, then payment packages need to be addressed.

You don’t go immigration entries of other countries and they ask for money.

Gov should stamp it out for good!

AK481:
Scada is as old as 20 years technology and it has been in used in all genco,disco and tcn since

See why technocrats in their authority should be appointed.

Read it well. He didn’t say it’s new. He admitted it’s localised technology but needs expansion nationally into the grid.

Liar. You and your boy governor are in cohort to spite Ganduje.

I think 6,000MW by August is feasible and he should be pushing for 10000 MW by December.

We currently at installed capacity of 14,0000. We have about 19 plants actively supplying power to the grid. These active plants sometimes do 50 % below capacity. Egbin plant hovers around 700MW currently but has an installed capacity of 1, 300 MW.

Omotosho plant has an installed capacity of about 340 MW but currently supplies 80-100 to the grid.
If the issue of debt and gas have been resolved with Gencos, then minister should push them to produce more.
Also, TCN on their website proudly say they can evacuate 70000 MW, so 6000 MW by August is not pipe’s dream.

P.S Minister few weeks ago said Zengeru hydro now supplies to the grid. According to TCN on its website, that’s not accurate.

lebienconnu:
It’s not a matter of instruction. This is law. Sanusi’s reinstatement is sacrosanct.

Can I ask a question? If another governor comes after this one, and wants a different Emir, won’t it create a mess?

Let the sleeping dog lie, no need to keep changing. U only further gonna denigrate the throne.

There are so many ways to fight Ganduje, removing the disposed Emir isn’t one of it.

When is the Lagos Red rail be functionally ready for operations?

It was commissioned a while back.

No more Nigerian athletes disgracing us in sports.

There should be huge fines to deter any Nigerian athletes found doping.

Also, the Nigerian Gov should set up laboratories in country that can test qualifiers before they compete.

If you don’t have the expertise or infrastructure in the country, how can you catch cheats?

We are due a super advanced laboratory in Nigeria for things like drug doping, forensics, toxicology, DNA samples, rape kits, etc.

We don’t have to always rely on abroad labs for analysis.

Kewtt:
Absolutely nonsense. Tokenism with the resources available to Lagos?

Can't they find a way for them to be productive within the ambience of the Lagos economy? Instead of this bambiala economics....

USA offer its less privileged citizens food stamps, is that also tokenism?

UK do food banks.

Government is multifaceted; they can empower people to be productive while also catering to the vulnerable.

All public schools in Lagos should get free healthy meals, primary school being the bare minimum.

ppogba:
The borders are open.
Stop exhibiting your ignorance openly and publicly.

Why are food stuffs still getting impounded by customs?

Are you telling me I can bring any foodstuff legally into the country?

Gov should open border and allow importers bring in food.

Food is expensive because our farmers aren’t producing enough. You have to address issues of insecurity, storage, diesel prices, roads, etc but they will start bearing fruits in the medium to long term.

In the interim, customs should allow food to come in to bridge production gap.

Gov should stop going to shops and tell them what prices to sell. Once goods are plentiful, they would be forced to lower prices.

Only time gov can intervene is if market sellers are colluding to fix prices. If yam sellers are meeting underground to fix prices for example, gov can charge them to court with evidence.

Olachase:
His excellency Bola Tinubu, should just declare fight against food vendors that increase their prices

He get one woman for my area guy's day target her, she sells 1 derica of rice #1350, pepsi #370 her P.O.S charges start from #200

We have no choice she's the only one selling in our estate

Seems she's been sent from hell

I don’t believe in price control. Gov should open the borders and allow people to bring in food.

It’s the local farmers that would go beg for border to be closed when prices fall to crazy levels.

Only time government can intervene is if there is collusion.

The measures the CBN have taken seem robust and long term. They are not hasty and shortsighted decisions.

1) They cleared backlog, signalling to investors that they can repatriate their money should they decide to do so.

2) They stopped naira speculation and standardised BDC. BDCs get supply of dollars, so no need to panic.

3) They increased interest rate, so FDI came in huge waves.

4)They stopped banks from using dollars as collateral.

5) They tapped into the remittance market, so dollars sent to Nigeria now comes through official channels, not all but a good chunk.

6) President Tinubu is also growing the nations revenue. Oil production is going up, they finding creative ways to bring taxes in.

If revenue continues to grow, local refineries start working at full capacity and electricity improves, Naira could appreciate significantly. We would require fewer dollars to import fuel.

Also, another key index is if inflation comes down and how fast. Diesel price is a major determinant.

If it’s being pegged like people are saying, parallel rate and official rate won’t converge. Official rate at present is even higher than Parallel rate.

See as Nigerian police look corpulent. 🤣

Good gesture government is doing to boost morale and appreciate brave sacrifices.

The military is ramping up pressure on these oil thieves causing environmental degradation.

If this administration can severely reduce oil theft and ramp up production to 2 to 2.2 barrels, would be huge!!

Enough to sell to local refineries and export!!

We will also boost revenue to fund critical infrastructure.

I think either of any ID should be okay, instead of all Nigerians on NIN.

1) Nigerian passport
2)NIN
3) PVC

I should be able to use any of this to open bank account, vote, register my sim, etc. They all have bio data info that can be synchronised and be used to access centralised database for verification.

Also foreigners travelling to Nigeria on Nigerian issued visas can simply use the unique visa numbers on their visas to register their SIM cards with ease.

You would ensure simplicity and save people of stress.

I like the government’s effort in encouraging all Nigerians to have a form of identify, as cash payments to vulnerable groups can be facilitated but ID duplicities have their own risks.

Also, we should have a mandatory and centralised birth and death certificates, and new borns should be issued NIN before their first birthdays. All expectant mothers should mandatorily register with midwives or clinics.

No more age falsification for good!

AqualinaXYZ:
Normally Godfatherism no dey exist for Nigeria





Na fear fear Yorubas give Tinubu that chance




A frogged eye man from Guinea became their king

Tinubu has been doing politics since early 90s.

Just because you can organise and have capacity to build structures doesn’t make you a godfather.

More competition can only benefit Nigerian consumers, hence offering Nigerians a cheaper deal. Nigerians should be priority and not any airline.

Air Peace has some niches over other airline

1) It’s a direct flight, so actual competitors in that regard are British Airways and Virgin. I would pay a little extra for a direct flight to London then go via Rwanda or Morocco. My baggage could be lost, there could be delays, immigration officers in connecting countries can be unfriendly, etc.

2) They serve Nigerian food and that would resonate with some Nigerians with Nigerian palates.

3) Gatwick Airport is a finer alternative than Heathrow for some passengers.

They should stay in market, charge reasonable prices, diversify airport destinations to Manchester, Birmingham and even Scotland. We welcome Emirates as they restart!

It’s not always about price Mr Omokri

Sanction isn’t enough Mr Adelabu. Withdraw their licences and pass it to more competent firms.

In fact, minister should have companies in background, ( mix of local and foreign companies) with good pedigree that can take over from failing Discos.

Bring in foreign power distribution companies and let them show the locals how it’s done.

Why would you be charging huge fees and can’t use part of the money to improve your infrastructure? They are doing it because there is no consequence.

Severely punish failures and you will see success emerge!!

Under President Tinubu, rich will get richer, don’t care whether u Kanuri, Igbo, Yoruba, Delta, Hausa. If you already a billionaire, u will get richer. Some of these reforms will certainly benefit Nigerians aptly placed, and they will cash in massively.

shortgun:
Atiku doesn't understand figures yet you can't prove he was wrong or provide any figures to counter his claims.
There's no economic benefit of that project, there are existing roads linking every part of the country; instead of spending 30% of the funds for the new road on the maintenance of the existing ones they will rather award a new road to create an avenue to loot the country to oblivion

That route will cut journey times by a lot, so Lagos to Delta might be 2-3 hours.

Also, don’t forget there will be rail btw it.

If they do high speed rail, travelling 150-200km/ hour, you can do Lagos to Calabar in 3.5/4 hours.

You can even do Lagos to Port Harcourt in 3 hours. You would have people working in Lagos Mon-Friday and living in Port Harcourt as their homes on weekends.

We have to think big as a country if we want to compete.

We need to bring people and goods together at quick speed.

swagifted:
there need to be serious punishment for vandalism first of all. And for bypasses too.

I agree. If there isn’t a vandalism act by National Assembly, then they should pass the law. It should be made to punish vandals across Nigeria with prison sentence.

farouk2much:
As big as it is..... But na only 700 mw?

With hydro dams, you can always increase capacity by adding more turbines. 700 MW is the start. I’m sure as time goes by, it can be ramped up.

When Mainstream Energy took over Kainji and Jabba dam, they added more MW to the generating capacity.

I’m sure over time, they will do likewise to this new dam.

This additional 700 should push our generating capacity at full max to about 14,000 MW.

Full max is if all the power generating plants decide to generate at full capacity.

Debt payment according to the minister starts in April, so no excuses and Gencos should ramp up production.

TCN I’m sure is working to modernise it’s infrastructure and make it more robust to transmit power.

franudi:
Imagine Nigeria importing corn and food items instead of the federal government to flush out bandits in the bush. This government is not serious.

Why can’t government do both same time?

You lots just want to abuse government for abusing sake!

Military are currently flushing bandits out as we speak, and government is allowing import to stabilise prices.

That to me is serious government. Also, once you flush bandits out and farmers are secure, they plant and harvest, which takes time!

Kukutenla:
Well, I disagree. No one is getting 20hrs light daily for a month in Nigeria.
But that's by the way. Don't bring GSM into this. What MTN and Econet started with was a rip off and it took glo to break their monopoly.
If there was no glo, you probably will still be using 3G by now. MTN especially came out to say Nigeria was not ripe enough for per second billing until glo came and broke their back.
The power sector is different because the Discos have exclusivity for their jurisdiction. So no one is going to come and chase AEDC out of Abuja. At least that's what the present model stipulates.
It's the gencos that are flexible. TCN and Discos are a monopoly.

Discos have monopoly but their licences can be withdrawn for non performance.

This means they will be kept in check and their licences given to another competent firm.

Trojan8:
How do you use recapitalization to mop up liquidity? Please stop saying shit you don't know.

Because banks would have to pass it to customers, don’t u agree?

I’m not illiterate. The fiscal system is still in its infancy, monetary tool of selling bonds and increasing interest rate are being deployed.

Asking banks for recapitalisation which CBN knows they will pass to customers is another subtle way of mopping up liquidity.

Blazetrailer:
Two illiterates.....blind correcting blind....you cant use bank capitalisation to mop up excess liquidity...it is not a monetary policy tool for managing inflation.

Banks would have to get the money somewhere?

They would charge customers more interest on loans, pay less rates on savings, etc. Would u agree?

43Ronin:
Honestly this CBN governor is just very daft! Where will commercial banks get the funds from? Even if they issue IPO how many nigerians can purchase and for what exactly? Why would any nigerian wan to tie their funds as shares?Does this fool even realise that the eventual mergers will lead to lay-offs? Thereby increasing the unemployment situation in a country where farming is basically a deadly job? Gosh! Why can't he instead issue federal govt bonds at massive interest rate like 15% so that he can mop up excess liquidity in the economy thereby dropping inflation? Then govt invest the funds into capital projects?

Daft?? Wrong choice of word!!

CBN probably using it to mop off Naira off the system.

benjaminlawson:
My own concern is, why conducting the inspection by night, does he want it to escape public view? Why not in the afternoon when all the deficiency and lapses in the project can be vividly exrayed.

He promised Solar lights and CCTV. He also promised rails to prevent people jumping into the lagoon.

He had to visit at night to see if the lights are working.

He is going nowhere as long as the APC house isn’t divided.

He will be there for at least 4 years.

Tellmeastory:
You're very stupid.

When will it ever be YOUR TURN TO ''guarantee safety and quality'', or is it not the same God that created you that created the white people you feel so inferior to?

Useless people.

Self-esteem, ZERO.

Chinese and Indians never think this way.

They say ''we will do it and do it till we perfect it".

Keep being stupid and thoughtless.

I don’t trust Air Peace’s safety record and won’t let either me or my family board it.

If you want to board it, it’s fine!

Nothing to do with inferior. We still have a long way when it comes to safety.

This makes sense. Safety and quality will be guaranteed!!

Also, we need new carriers to break the British/ Virgin Airline duopoly.

They now charging crazy prices!!
