She is beautiful .

The story is about Cherokee Jeep and not Buhari, please correct yourself

Bloggers want to start another round of story that will trend for one month, it wont work. Let the courts decide their matter, no matter media trial

Foreign companies in collaboration with Nigerians reaping off the system and ensuring that the country does not get value for electricity contracts awarded to spurious companies. Over $16b spent and yet no power

A new report by the Centre for Health Equity and Justice (CEHEJ) has revealed how a globally acclaimed giant of electricity – General Electric (GE) with long term presence in Nigeria and other electricity contractors, under-performed and failed in their contractual obligations to Nigeria in the electricity sector.
According to the report which carefully reviewed numerous electricity contracts awarded by the Nigerian government “General Electric (GE) did not give anything back to Nigeria in exchange for the billions of dollars it has taken out of the country but that GE and other failed contractors have offered the government and people of Nigeria general darkness”. The report found that the billions of dollars spent by the Nigerian Government in the power sector have been paid to contractors, most of whom failed to deliver on their projects and promises to Nigeria. GE, as a so-called development partner of Nigeria has collected more money from Nigeria more than any other entity and has disappointed the most.

In x-raying the Kaduna Power Plant that was awarded to GE as Contractor in consortium with an indigenous company, the report reveals how GE has been very deliberate and systematic in disappointing Nigeria’s legitimate expectations in salvaging the power sector despite claiming to be Nigeria’s strategic development partner.

The report shows that although the Kaduna Power Plant contract was awarded since 2009 as a turnkey project with a term of 36 months, it has not been delivered till date, i.e. after over 10 years. Worse still, on average each engineer of GE on the project site gulps from the Nigerian Government purse a daily sum in US dollars that is way higher than the monthly salary of a permanent secretary in the Government Ministries. The report is convinced that no foreign entity has caused such financial haemorrhage on Nigeria as GE has done.

The 70-page report launched today at the IBIS Hotels, Lagos is titled: “Kept in Darkness”—Holding Non-Performing Electricity Contractors Accountable. The report was presented to the media by Dr. Yemi Oke, Ass. Professor, Energy/Electricity Law, Faculty of Law, University of Lagos discloses that “In the Course of the investigations culminating in this report, it was discovered that some of the Contracts awarded were for purposes or projects that were not feasible, while others although feasible, were awarded to fictitious, non-functional or non-existent companies which are in other words referred to as shell companies in that they exist only on paper. Of graver worry is the fact that most of the projects for which the contracts were awarded, up until now, remain unattended to, either totally unattended or inexplicably abandoned half-way.

The report seeks to ensure that those who failed to perform or deliver on contractual obligations, duties and responsibilities in the power sector are held accountable and punished under the existing law; contractual agreements, and document.

The report recalls that earlier in May 2008 in its report, the House of Representatives Committee on Power and Steel in its report of investigation into the huge sums of money spent on power generation, transmission and distribution between 1999 and May 2007 without commensurate result had earlier indicted some of the contractors and recommended that they be further investigated by EFCC and ICPC with a view to recovering huge sums fraudulently received on power project contracts. Some of the Contractors indicted are: Marubeni (WA) and Marubeni international for very poor performance in respect of LOT 1 (Calabar), LOT 4 (Sapele), and LOT 5 (Eyaen/Ihovor) power stations projects.

Lahmeyer International for generalized project management failure in respect of the NIPP project, complicity in tender manipulation, negligence or complicity in over-scoping as well as overpricing of NIPP projects, abuse of due process, certification of invoices for payments for works not yet done by contractors (e. g Marubeni).

The report states that “as structured and executed, the contract is a complete and total negation of the commitment of GE to develop the power sector of Nigeria. GE did not give back anything to Nigeria in exchange for the billions of dollars it has taken out of the country.” Dr Oke further observed that “10 years post contract, the Kaduna Power Plant project has continued buffering, tethering and staggering. The project is not completed. The project is not near completion. Out of the 215 MW promised to be delivered from the Plant, not a KW has been delivered. More worrisome, the Federal Government has parted with tons of billions of naira on the project.
“GE sold all the gas turbines (frame 9) to NIPP for the medium sized power plants, even when they knew that sites for the erection of the equipment were not available, the manufactured turbines were then quickly shipped to Nigeria and left at the ports, so much demurrage was incurred due to long term storage at the ports and the equipment suffered serious damages which GE had to replace at exorbitant monopolist prices. For instance at one plant alone (Calabar Power Plant) $8m was paid for third party preservation of the equipment, after that another $5.4m was paid to GE to replace parts for the same stored equipment since GE declared them as unfit for use, the oils and batteries expired in storage.

The same situation is applicable to the various plants under the NIPP project including Calabar, Ihovbor, Sapele, Gbarain, Egbema, Omoku, and Alaoji power plants. From 2003 to date there is over 2000MW of stranded uninstalled and non-commissioned turbines capacity, the turbines have been supplied by GE and full payments made but the nation still suffers because of the connivance of GE with the EPC Contractors to rip off the country. The FG had to pay several millions of dollars to other companies to handle preservation of the turbines at the ports because GE practically dumped the equipment on Nigeria. Dr Oke reiterated that GE has brought general darkness to Nigeria and should like all other failed contractors be held accountable.” The report finally recommends to the Federal Government, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) to bring to book those found wanting in the failed contracts.

The moment am about to have a business transaction with you and you begin to give me that impression that you are a religious person,that deal is off

One of my most experiences was being duped by a guy who preached religion to me, I fell for his antics and learnt my bitter lesson

The photographer is more interested in the cloud than the aircraft

straighttalk:
I can't believe that.

I would Rather believe, they could not pack everything they realized for the day. So they left some. Nigerian police I know will prefer to die than to leave the money behind.

Xsquad is from the IGP, they could be sacked if the didn't run and abandon the money if caught

APC SW here are bitter that this story is making FP again, they know that this is not the best of time for Osinbajo and they are not happy with Buhari but have to pretend, calling people names like piggidiiots, children of hate, children of perdition, but I feel no pity over their travails

Everyone that commits a crime is referred to as 'Pastor' by Bloggers just to gain traffic

solmusdesigns:



Children of hate wont like this, Just has Buhari made Professor Salami the boss of ordinary Mr Charles Soludo, the head of service is Now a Yoruba woman

And since they clearly know Atiku is no longer cumming and they are hopeless in nearing Aso Rock in this Generation, they continue to wail daily online

...

Children of hate implies Yoloba Muslims

Yes we know he has been sidelined, stop lying, though he is still occupying his seat as VP but he now has to seek for endorsement of Abba Kyari to approve any project in all the agencies under his office.
The Cabal whom we did not see during the elections campaigns as usual are back in charge.

Yoloba Muslims are yet to commend Buhari for treating PYO like trash

Good development, Anambra state became the first in terms of school performance in Nigeria since returning schools to their mission owners and giving them funds to upgrade the schools.
It's like Ekiti wants to return to its number one status taken over by Anambra state.
Competition among states can lead to advancement, South East and South West should be engaging in healthy competition for the good of their people instead of unnecessary suspicions

All that is needed to catch him is for Gov Wike to put N5m down for information on his identity and within 24hrs the matter is unraveled

LegendHero:
Yinka Odumakin, a PDP apologist hiding under the banner of Afenifere to perpetrate the usual opposition politics.

Does Odumakin know Osinbajo is instrumental to the composition of the current Economic Advisory Council and also the one that recommended Prof. Salami as the Chairman.

Everybody just come online and start saying nonsense to trend.

Stop lying in public

For the first time in many years, I was close to tears as I watched the incredible transformation of this young lady. A very beautiful woman caged under the destructive influence of drug abuse. Behind the veil and faces of addicts, social misfits lie the hunger and desire to live a better life seeking for opportunities to be transformed forever.

There is one idiot using your monicker and always writing rubbish, he must be a drug junkie. He confuses a lot of people who like reading your sensible write ups

Uselss Investment for lazy people

Too many ways to earn 10-15%

For those who are averse to risk taking, its better to have your money intact than to do MMM with 100% interest and lose it to Nigerian Mavrodi

obailala:
...and his haters rejoiced and rejoiced and rejoiced!

Its not about hating, its a painful fact. Osinbajo deserves better, he has served the govt dilligently and deserves more respect than what the cabals have subjected him over the years

FarahAideed:
Does he also have to seek presidency permission to sign his condolence registers ? Does he ?


On a serious note I predicted this last year that by the last quarter 2019 the unbundling of Osinbanjo will commence and zombies laughed at me but today they know I am a prophet

You did, what you saw last year has come to fore, only few people have that ability but they get frustrated by Znbees with sneers and abuses even here on NL.

He now needs to meet Abba Kyari for approval before seeing the president.
This is very sad.
They are using him as the face of their scheme of seizing indigenous lands for foreign Fulanization of Nigeria under the renamed Ruga Livestock transformation Programme as a (Pastor & Yoruba man) to soften our minds but we are not deceived.

Instead of paying N400m they will just simply pay 500 for affidavit for every student and use it to admit them into higher institutions based on educationally disadvantaged states quota

Oyo state is having it good with this guy

As a rule, every hotel should have a HD CCTV, serial killers kill as hubby until they are caught or eliminated

Makinde is currently the most active Governor, I hope he keeps up the momentum

Regular course and training on etiquette is needed in the police force, there are still a lot of decent policemen out there doing their jobs

dokyOloye:
I don't know why anyone who isn't Igbo should be worried about Nnamdi Kanu and his message.
What manner of inferiority complex is this?

It's fear, they see Igbos as the last buffer against the rampaging Fulanis from Ilorin to Markudi. If you remove the Igbos they will be rendered more vulnerable, Igbos are a cover, Sowore is langushing in jail because Igbos did not join his revolution protest fearing that they would be betrayed by his people and it has happened

It's good that she didn't go back to her APC vomit

I will wait for Innoson to produce replicas at 10x less the price

Addme:
In as much as this is good news to Ebonyi State Indigenes but how is this even possible in a country like Nigeria with 36 different components.Is this not selective?
How would this even be possible without violating the quota system policies or Mr. Commissioner is high on expired weeds?
I think.CBN should have made it a level playing ground for all First Class Economics graduate from all the states.
All the same,congrats to all First Class Economics graduate from Ebonyi.
It will also serve as an avenue to work hard for other Economics students though only if this is true.

The number of CBN staff from Ebonyi State is abysmal, this is one way to enable them to fill up part of their quota

They slept because the judgement which they already knew the outcome going by the way the judge kept referring to Buhari as 'Eminently' qualified and which lasted for 9 hours.

Even football match between Barcelona and a constantly drawing or losing team like Chelsea can be boring for 90 min not to talk of listening to a judge blabbing for 9 hours.
If na me na mattress I for carry go that tribunal

Even this long article telling us about why lawyers slept is already making me drowsy.
