come to abuja have you seen the miniter of abuja to be igbo,,,,NO
why do you people allow them to flourish in lagos and now lagos is igbo  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. |

fstranger1: Finances: In the 2010-2011 school year, about 95% of the Schools income will derive form tuition fees. Annual tuition rates are as follows: Pre-K: $12,000; K - Grade 5: $14,300; MS (Grades 6- : $18,520; HS (Grades 9-12): $22,240. In addition, there is a non-refundable application fee of $500 and any student attending AISL for the first time will pay a registration fee of $10,000. There is also a $2,000 Annual Capital Levy Fee. (All fees are quoted in U.S. dollars

dayokanu: Whats with the American in it? Teaching them American Curriculum? Means that the President doesnt believe in the educational system of the country he governs.
I would have expected them to attend one of the Federal Govt Colleges 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. |

Abeg wake me when the first rail track has been laid and after wake me again when the second rail track has also be laid
hopefully it wont have a 10 year gap. 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. |

Politics › Re: 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. |

Politics › The Ribadu Plan by ekubear1(op): 8:36am On Jan 18, 2011 |
http://ribadu2011.com/blueprint/policy.pdfExerpt 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. |
