positive peer pressure.

tbaba1234: Disadvantages

i. Solar energy generally raises the price of electricity when it is on the grid...

ii. It is not yet competitive in most markets, it is improving but it is not there yet....

iii. Areas with plenty sun and little heat are best for it.... Nigeria's heat intensity does not exactly favour it. Heat degrades the system faster.

iv. Inefficient and intermittent

v. Expensive

vi. Can only be used where there is little obstruction to sunlight.

vii. It is difficult to make returns on investment without government incentives

Advantages:

i. It is clean energy

ii. Very small maintenance cost

iii. create jobs...

iv. You can possibly make a return on investment

Thanks for this info, the op failed to answer my question on the first page, that you have done.

Barcholder: Absolutely right. Make no mistake, that day is coming very soon. As a UK based Nigerian, I can attest to the effect of privatisation of the national grid. Get ready for the doubling of grid electricity prices every 5 to 7 years. It won't be too long before PHCN is charging you 70 naira per kWh, now that Jonathan has given the green light for privatisation.

Solar energy prices are fixed. Let me assure you, if this situation was the same in the UK, EVERY SINGLE household would have gone solar by now.

I'm frequently left utterly perplexed by the workings of the typical Nigerian mind.

What are the limitations of using solar powered technology?

Afam4eva: How do you determine who's more intelligent between someone who's very good in speaking English and another person who's very good in Solving maths. But both of them are just average in the other subjects.

If you are good in solving maths, then you are most likely intelligent, i can't say the same for someone who is good in speaking english.

English is simply a language of communication, like all other languages.

Let me ask you this also, "How do you determine who's more intelligent between someone who's very good in speaking Igbo and another person who's very good in Solving maths ? Both of them are just average in the other subjects."

There has to be a new focus on safer means of transporting petroleum products, instead of through the highways.

^^^, you did not bother to read the article,you said what you think is the case.


Read again, it is stated in the article as 3rd quarter in 2016.

This news is two years old ! A stale report that might not reflect the current situation.

Afam4eva: Did you know Fashola, FAyemi and Ajimobi before they became governor? Did they win because they had a name politically or because Tinubu used his influence? Pls don't mention Oshiomole again because he won his first term on the platform of Labour party and he won because he was Osho baba and not because of his party.

Oshiomole did not win his first term on the platform of labour party, stop spewing ignorant things.

He was the gubernatorial candidate of labour party, but switched to ACN before the elections.

Afam4eva:
Let me engage you guys...

Apart from Oshiomole, the governors in ACN were relative nonentities before they emerged as the governor of their respective states. Most of had little or not political clout before been picked by Tinubu to tule their states, so they owe him that much. Let Tinubu try and field a popular candidate like Jimi Agbaje and see what happens to his relevance. The only way Tinubu can remain relevant is to field people with no political relevance and make them indebted to him.

You are yawning dust ! What clout did Jimi Agbaje have as a politician ?,he was at best known as just a pharmacist until 2007 elections when he marshalled out his plans for Lagos state at his campaigns, and it sounded good to many lagosians but he came out on a wrong platform, a DPA party.

Oshiomole was known as a labour leader and not a politician, until 2007 when he emerged as the gubernatorial candiditate of Labour Party, he later switched to a stronger platform in form of the ACN .

Fashola was chief of staff of the Tinubu for 8 solid years, a Senior Advocate of NIgeria.

Akeredolu was a well respected NBA president, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.

Ajimobi was a successful technocrat who reached the peak of his professional career, a one time senator. in actual fact he was rigged out by the Adedibus in the 2007 Oyo state gubernatorial elections.

Amosun nko? a one time senator, and strong enough to challenge Gbenga daniel in 2007, where he was rigged out by PDP.

What nonsense are you still yawning?

Afam4eva: Tinubu won't make the mistake of putting someone that will usurp him. He puts [color=#990000]relative nonentities there with low self-esteem who will remain loyal to him for a very long time. Word even has it that he'll most likely keep it in the family in 2015.[/color]

You mean individuals like Fashola(SAN), Oshiomole, Ajimobi, Akeredolu(SAN). Aregbesola are relative nonenties with low self esteem?
You are talking balderdash ! May be you are referring to Obasanjo or Adedibu.

Sincere 9gerian: "his ACN currently"

So you agree with those who call ACN Tinubu's property?
That is why I call it imaginary powers. When more former governors and new generation of ACN governors emerge, there'll be internal power play within the party that'll dislodge that imaginary powers.

his ACN simply means his party affiliation, what yeye meaning are you reading in to it ?

Sincere 9gerian: "most powerful force"?

"Most powerful force" for your mind na. And how did he deploy that power at the last Ondo elections?

POINT OF CORRECTION: power belongs to the people.

Just to digress a bit, as at today, in terms being powerful in that context, even Oshiomole is more powerful than Tinubu.

Even with all the noise by Tinubu and his gang of ACN in the southwest, former president Yar Adua manipulated the 2009 Ekiti re-run gubernatorial election in favour of PDP. What did the all "powerful" Tinubu do about that? At the same time, former president Yar Adua, recognising how powerful Oshiomole was, assisted Oshiomole to retrieve his stolen mandate through the tribunal.

Where is the PDP Governor who was manipulated in as the Ekiti Governor ? He was booted out via the tribunal in 2010.
Tinubu is a bridge builder, his ACN currently has elective positions in all SW , SS, SE, NC, NE and NW regions.

he is not the cleanest of politician around in the SW, but he has got Foresight !, this makes him different from many other politicians.

When you can see the future from the present, you can simply take actions today that will influence the future.

I see him as a reasonable and intelligent man, but a dictator.

double post

Royaldee: How come nobody hates arsenal

What is there to hate in an unsuccesful team ?

Check out those hated the most on this thread, Man u, Barca,...., what do they have in common ?

SUCCESS

malc619: Your comment is‎​ bereft of logic, common sense and objectivity.

Were you asleep when Enugu State officials claimed that Chime handed over properly and there was no breakdown in the system??

Who told you there's nothing to show for in Kano?? Do you live there??

It hurts you that a state with security challenges has showed more fiscal responsibility than the so-called "Pride of the East".. JEALOUSY!!!

Pls if you have nothing sensible to say, don't post on this thread!!!


. .

She is referring to Bayelsa state and not Kano state.

He has an infectious smile, that makes me want to smile

Hmmmm,lot to learn here oooo, i believe Agricultural Revolution is central to Africa's Economic Revolution BUT, there is a possibility of market failure in nigeria's / Africa's agriculture, if we continue to allow imported foods from the western countries, as farmers over there are heavily subsidised by their governments,meaning food is cheaper than the value of production and they will dump those relatively cheap food in to African countries.

Share holder things, of the 100% love she has got, you possibly own more than 50% at the moment. Make no mistake, the tide could change any time, your swags is tighter and you have overwhelmed her with it, what she feels for you is not long lasting. I Opine that what she feels for her ex is deeper, and she would be back in his arms sooner.

For me, once i know a girl is in a committed relationship, i back off, except i sense her current relationship is not fulfilling, only then will i go for the kill.

anonimi: They told him to post it on April 1 - April Fools day.
It seems he was in a haste to collect his commission for each NL post from his oga at the top in the Association of Conmen in Nigeria (ACN)
Don't be surprised if he opens a thread tomorrow as he was instructed with the same story.

Sincerely, you do a very bad job trying to defend PDP. All you do is whip up emotions, and run away from facts.

donroxy: U re wrong in ur above narration within Nigeria context....... If there is Southeast Nigeria,there would be Southsouth Nigeria.........


Eastern Nigeria should not imply the same thing as South-east Nigeria.....

Eastern Nigeria implies East Axis of Nigeria !!!!


When u divide Southern Nigeria again, the East Axis of Southern Nigeria equals South-East Nigeria....


Which kain Geographical knowledge equates SouthEast Nigeria to Eastern Nigeria.............?


Eastern Nigeria is more than IGBO.......while SouthEast Nigeria is predominantly IGBO........ezeagu,na other ethnic glory u dey allude to ur people oo

Ezeagu, u re WRONG.......!!!

Thanks, your submission is what i reason with. The OP has failed to define the scope of south eastern nigeria, possibly his motive of starting the thread is wrong. But sincerely, some knowledge has been gained, but facts must be straightforward and unbiased.

It is the same story, a continuos cycle of sweet tales, but no remarkable impact. I remember the third term campaigners for him in 2006, they were better of in trying to sell Obj than some mumu trying to sell GEJ here

b1, i can see the soldier, quite easy.

ezeagu: You didn't know cardinal points are widely accepted and be whom? So cardinal points are relative now? Why would I or anyone be upset with you placing Benue in southeastern Nigeria? At least if I have an objection to that I can use actual geographical features like the climate and topography to back it up. But I don't, so do you have any interesting Benue facts to add to the list?

Ok, i get your view, but i initially thought your focus was on igbos. but i still feel you have failed to define the scope of south eastern nigeria.

ezeagu: Sorry, I was talking about normal-widely accepted sane peoples geography.

widely accepted by whom? those classification can be relative, except one stick to the one defined and recognised in the constitution of the country, If you look at the map, i can as well classify Benue state under "South Eastern" Nigeria,

ezeagu: Simple common knowledge of geography would tell you that Calabar is in the eastern portion of the south of Nigeria. Common knowledge. There is no such thing as a "south-south" on a compass, just like "east-east", "north-north", and "west-west" are nonsensical and nonexistent in civilised societies.

When you talk of Nigeria, the word South East simply refers to 5 states, Imo,Anambra,Ebonyi,Enugu and Abia states.

Geo-political zones - South west, South-South, South East, North West, North East and North Central

your no 11 & 12 fact is faulty, Calabar is not located in the south east, also, the gorillas are in cross river , south-south region of nigeria.

PapaBrowne: I totally disagree with you. Fayemi and Aregbeshola have been in power close to 3 years already and there are no major signs of improvement in Ekiti and Osun States as you can see in Lagos and Edo.

On the other hand PDP has produced some of the most AmAzing Governors. Visit Enugu state and see what Chime has done there. Visit Rivers ans see Ameachi's imprint especially in Education. Visit Cross River and see what Duke did there.

To be fair, its not about parties. Its about individuals. Oshiomole is a quality individual and that quality would reflect in his works.

Mr spin and sell, so out of the 23 PDP governors in the country, it is only that few you can mention, in fact you had to borrow Duke, who stopped being a governor of cross river 6 years ago.

The ACN governors have all shown, there can be a positive force & positive peer pressure from a party on an individual to perform.

Even an Igbenedion might not have been an absolute disaster if he was an ACN governor, although ACN will never have field such a candidate.

The Osun state and Ekiti state have also witnessed development commensurate with the 2years and 4 months they have been there and their fiscal strengths.

i think the op means "facial tribal marks"

There is barely any difference in tribal marks and tattoos. It is just present day perception.


Who can have facial tattoos ?

This is a tattooed face presidential candidate in Czech republic in 2013 elections

@OP, NEVER, i never saw any of that in my traceable lineage.

It is a fading culture, i believe in the next 20 years, no one will ever place tribal marks on a face.

anonimi: First the link you provided is EMPTY.
If you have anything related to the thread from Ajimobi's one year anniversary, please post the extract here.

The government site is there , you can see the projects within the 5 zones in the state. www.oyostate.gov.ng

I think, this should work. (yes it did) That was the one year account of stewardship.

anonimi: Please tell them, the bunch of fraudsters and scammers in the Association of Conmen in Nigeria (ACN).
I am almost certain that the Mokola overhead bridge they want us to celebrate on their account was most probably initiated by Alao Akala given that Ajimobi has been in power less than two years.
The fact that PDP is filled with non-chalant military and para-military people who are not eager to play opposition poltics does not mean we the citizens should sleep away while the HYPOCRITES in the "progressive" opposition are selling us their fake achievement just as their national leader was selling his fake parentage.

I am almost certain that the Mokola overhead bridge they want us to celebrate on their account was most probably initiated by Alao Akala given that Ajimobi has been in power less than two years.

Yeah right, it was initiated by Akala, just as the the same flyover bridge in Abeokuta was initiated by Gbenga Daniel.
Fooool !! , that is what you are. I am not a card carrying member of any party, but i will defend truth vigorously if need be, because of charlatans like you. It is very unimaginable for you idiooots that this much can be done in 1year 10 Months.

A google search will give neutrals like me who truly want to know the governments website, i got this from google search,
