Is this too for the benefit of common man? I doubt it.

Yes.

If you want to eliminate scarcity, PHCN has to be able to charge at a minimum what it costs to produce the electricity.

People generally don't like selling things at a loss

^-- Ogun wants to become the Taiwan or Singapore of Africa, it seems.

We just need to sort out this power situation.

a necessary step

Just a little innocent fun

No harm, no foul

^-- Criticism is easy to do. Anyone can do that.

Coming up with better alternatives? That is difficult.

Suggest an alternative, then.

I am all ears.

Which kain force for good? As nairaland busy reach, have you ever heard of bandwidth problems? Seriously? My friend, just start by finding out why they had to outsource the web development overseas, then also find out the COST of development and hosting of the site.

Once you find that information, eventually, you will understand why I'm so mad at Fashola and his murderous boss.

Perhaps they weren't expecting as much traffic as they got. That is not unreasonable.

Going cheap on web development generally leads to crappy results. . . so not terrible that they hired someone abroad to do the gig.

Hosting in general should be done abroad; it isn't like you can really host from Nigeria, right?

I've asked djustice this before, but he has never answered what he would suggest that the ACN be replaced with.

Party is not perfect, but is the best of the options available right now, imo

Fashola baba

Despite what some would have you believe (djustice, for example), the ACN is largely a force for good.

Resources are not scare at all.

And who told you that? A country that has a GDP of roughly $200 billion or so, yet has 150+ million people.

Do you think that is enough money to go around, even if things were shared perfectly?

I agree with the call for UN, EU, etc involvement in this

jason123:
Federalism.
SIX REGIONS OF GOVERNANCE!

All regions are SEMI-AUTONOMOUS! That is, they come together to help regions that are struggling financially, IF THEY FEEL LIKE (Its not necessary). They come together to defend Nigeria from foreigners. They come together to make federal decisions etc!
Each region can form X number of states in THEIR REGION!
Regional co-operation should be allowed.
EACH ETHNIC GROUP (Even the smallest) should be allowed to choose the region they want to be included in.

Regional soldiers or army should be not be allowed! Some regions might want to secede from Nigeria, forcefully.

Their should be Federal laws and regional laws. The Regional laws should be with the jurisdiction of the Federal laws.

I am sure you know where I am going to with this.

+100

Basically a return to the 50s, but with 6 regions

Best bet is to partition Nigeria into its component pieces.

We don't all have the same vision in Nigeria.

Some seem to prefer wasting their time on useless things rather than trying to solve their very urgent problems.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=758382.msg9135432#msg9135432 date=1315895710]HMM Interesting policy. I don't support it, but I find it very interesting how you're sweeping away fundamentals of "rights", but still labels it as rights.

"I'm taking away your financial support, but hey you can still go to the grocery store and buy as much food as you want. You still have your rights".[/quote]I just don't understand when it became a "right" to burden society.

Or when it became your "right" for society to educate your kids.

It is a privilege, not a right.
