PoliticsRe: 2011: So Begins The Fall Of The ACN In The Southwest! by ekubear1: 11:20pm On Jan 18, 2011
@Akanbi_edu: So is this the justification for Tinubu's family members replacing good politicians in the SW? That is the main beef I have with the ACN right now. How does one justify him installing his wife and inlaws all over the place? Your argument is good, but I don't think applies to what Tinubu has done.

Relax, bro. Isn't good for business to launch witchhunts. The Danladi guy mentioned in the article. . . well, Danladi sounds like a Hausa name (though his last name sounds  Dutch to me.)

Any policies which drive away productive citizens is bad, imo. I'd rather that they stay.

Heh. I'm not trying to defend GEJ, but when I have kids, if I live in Abuja I'll send my kids to the same school. Education of your children is not something to play around with. . . if you can afford it, you send 'em to the best.

Err. . .
Lagos's EkoRail – Eko means Lagos in the Yoruba language – is the biggest public-private partnership in Lagos state and will eventually comprise seven railway lines, each costing more than $1bn (£630m). Two lines are already well advanced. The red will run north to south from Lagos island to Agbado through 13 stations. The blue will run 17 miles from the island to Okokomaiko in the middle of an expanded motorway.

PoliticsRe: The Ribadu Plan by ekubear1(op): 5:17pm On Jan 18, 2011
PapaBrowne:
Not so impressive given the magnitude of problems the sector faces. The best solution is an almost complete handover to the private sector the same way the telecoms sector was done. First because the Government lacks the kind of funding and expertise required to improve on the sector and second because Government bureaucracy and Geo-political considerations would slow down any government actions.

Jonathan has offered what I think is the best solution to our power problems. The main reason I will support Jonathan over any of the other candidates is his blueprint for the power sector. He has set the ball rolling by setting aside 137 billion for settlement of emoluments and benefits for PHCN officials that would be laid off! Thats a huge huge step in the right direction. By the time the private sector investments start pouring in, Nigeria would see a ten fold increase in power supply same way we jumped from 400,000 telephone lines in 2001 to over 70 million lines in 2010.
I'll take a look at GEJs plan for the power sector later in the day. But if you have a link handy, feel free to post here.

PoliticsThe Ribadu Plan by ekubear1(op): 8:36am On Jan 18, 2011
http://ribadu2011.com/blueprint/policy.pdf

Exerpt on power:

Power
Inadequate power supply restricts socio-economic activities, limits economic growth and adversely
affects the quality of life. Electricity supply in Nigeria is grossly inadequate as total installed capacity
is far less than demand.
The current supply system relies essentially on natural gas and hydro (70:30) which are both
vulnerable to sabotage and adverse weather conditions respectively. he drop in water level in the
hydro power plants and acute shortage of gas supply to the thermal plants contribute to the
inadequate supply of electricity.
The nation currently has an installed generation capacity of about 10,000 MW, but an available
generation capacity of between 2,500- 3200 MW. Transmission capacity is estimated at 5,838 MVA
with a transmission backbone of 4,534km (330kv lines) and 19 major transmission sub-stations.
Our distribution capacity sits at about 8,425 MVA. Technical energy loss is estimated at 14% of
generation capacity (4%-transmission, 10%-distribution) Non-technical losses accounts for 32% of
generation capacity. Access to electricity is estimated at 40% of the population.
We will move to diversify the energy mix by introducing coal powered plants which will employ
clean coal technologies. hese plants will be sited to ensure proximity to known coal reserves in
Okaba, Ogboyoga (Kogi State), Owukpa (Benue State) and Ezimo (Enugu State). We will also invest
in decentralized renewable energy such as wind, solar and biomass especially in rural areas, with
limited grid access. 
We will provide fiscal incentives for private developers. We will implement pricing schemes to
promote load management and motivate customers to minimize their energy consumption during
peak periods. We will also ensure good consumer education on the most eicient use of energy.
We shall ensure capacity building within the industry and re-orientate PHCN personnel towards
customer- oriented service, productivity and efficiency and sanction recurring anti-customer
behaviour. We will introduce power consumer assistance funds for low-income power consumers,
who consume below a certain threshold.
We will bring credibility to the power reform process by ensuring that those we will appoint will be
above board, highly qualiied and driven solely by public interest. We will stabilize power generation,
transmission and distribution in the shortest possible time while putting in place a sustainable energy
plan for the long term.
He addresses many other areas though, in addition to this.
