Where wer all dese bini land grabbers during Gej's tenure, this should be the question, but they should be aware that a fight against the Ijaws of Edo state is a fight against the entire Ijaw nation
Benin land grabbers? are u aware there is an existing supreme court judgement that dates back to about 2 decades ago which was won by the binis?

But Gelegele is Ijaw land na.

Can any Bini man point to his ancestral home in Gelegele?
who told u? the fact that they were allowed to settle there years ago does not make it theirs. for example there are so many hamlets in various Benin villages where non indgenes like the urhobos were allowed to settle, does that mean the land now belongs to them?

that is absolutely correct. this not to take anything away from his achievements as a writer. google usually shows regional results based on ur location anybody in doubt should visit google.co.uk or any other regional google sites. that doodle will only be seen by users in Nigeria or people who visit google.com.ng.

I did not read the post but I believe Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria. For this country to get better, it must start with you and me. People do things to favour them. What am I saying? A thread about this UC browser was created yesterday and I commented first, because of greed and wickedness of some mod, they did not move it to front page. Now one of the mod created the thread and he comment first so he moved it to front page. Check the pic to see the former thread. Wayo no go make us grow for this country
that's what happens when u have a forums with fake front page topic selection, in other forums topics rise to the front page based on the number of comments and the popularity amongst members.

and do u have any evidence that these people are guilty apart from the claim by the police that they are kidnappers? do u know how many innocent people killed extra judicially by the police? I recall a case sometime ago of a uniben student who was killed by the police and they claimed he was a robber. but for the tenacity of the victim's family the truth would never have come to light.
PoliticsRe: Customers Now To Buy Electricity Direct From Gencos - FG by ernieboy(m): 7:45pm On Nov 08, 2017
bellyjean:
My people, pls see the bigger picture in this great move.

So many times, discos reject power from gencos because of their dilapidated structures and facilities which they deliberately did not improve. Early this year, minister fashola criticised them seriously. He said they knew the state of those structures before they bought them from the government. And they didn't invest to upgrade the structures after buying them.

After the development, discos have just been one of the multiple customers available to the gencos. Discos will now have to step up their game now that they know they are competing with LPUs to get power from gencos.

Moreover, heavy metallurgical companies especially those in Lagos and ogun states generate their own power and also sell excess to private users. I learnt African foundries in Ikorodu supplies homes in lekki via under water cables.

Why are so afraid of challenging and changing the status quo in Nigeria? We can actually do well without the national grid. Redemption camp, winners camp are testimonies of what can bf achieved if power plants fully develop and utilise the power chain. Produce your power and get it to the consumers. Local governemts or state governments can focus on regulating the market in terms of pricing and billings.

The power industry is large enough for hundreds of private investors. I believe minister fashola was appointed not to manage the decay and decadence that has long taken the centre stage in the power sector, but to turn things around with brute and tact.
all these suggestions are OK and they will only happen if the fg releases its grip on the power sector. why should a state or lg have to seek permission from the fg to build an embedded power plant for example and even if they do they may not be able to distribute except through the corrupt dicos.

spawnx:
The Discos manage maintenance issues on a disco route, so if you choose to buy power from Genco who manages faults.
customers have been buying transformers and fixing distribution faults since inception, my only issue is how customers will setup their own distribution lines especially if they are not located close to the generation companies.

I can make pencils bro. Leave those slow pokes, if we want pencils, it's not difficult, nothing dey inside pencil, trust me

Every nation has its own struggles. Do you know China still struggles with making ball point pens ? According to analysts, it's one of the most difficult instrument to make.



Sh.it, guy releasing too much details. I need to erase my cyber trail abeg, before them visit me
lol, who wan visit u?
back to the topic at hand, China has demonstrated so much proficiency in other areas but Nigeria cannot boast of technical knowhow in any area. even refining of crude oil and petrochemical which should be our forte by virtue of our position, we have no technical knowhow in it, so it becomes difficult for anyone who truly understands what technology is not to admire the technical prowess and doggedness of the n' Koreans.

It's just a cycle of life and natural order in our cosmos that there would be powers and there must be Super powers. All the big fives in UN security council are guilty of the art of dominance & intimidation of neighboring states or perceived enemies. Not exclusive to the United States. But, the beautiful thing is that no civilization lasts forever (Romans, Egyptians, Persians) and when this power wears off, smaller states with potential steps up to the plate.
Would you subscribe to the idea of every nation on earth no matter how small owing Nuclear weapons? It makes no sense. I'm sure criticism of DPRK program wouldn't have gathered some much contempt if that country is a rationally led one. No country has launched a nuclear warhead since
while agreed with u that all nation cannot be equal even we pretend they are, and I do not necessarily subscribe to the notion of every nation possessing nuclear weapons, since the atrocities committed by the USA in Iraq and lybia came to light, as well as a lot of other atrocities committed by the USA, it has become necessary for a balance of power similar to the type that existed during the cold war.

Many people supporting NK on this thread are either illiterates or socially demented.
They say NK is a nuclear world power against the real factor that makes a nation a world power- its ECONOMY. Let's imagine Lagos state as a country in a hypothetical world. Lagos has a GDP of $90-$100bn, NK has a GDP of $40bn, Kim spends about $20bn on nuclear weapons yearly, dats 50% of its country's GDP on nukes. This shows that they are not setting their priority straight. Let's say Ambode decides to spend $20bn on nukes which Lagos can afford (wrong priority), are going to call Lagos a world power.
NK is a disgrace for a nation, join 2 states in Nigeria and you have a country richer than NK meanwhile South Korea has a GDP of $2 trillion which makes them 100 times richer.
The people of North Korea are suffering but they don't have the voice to say it.
Why are you building weapons when your citizens earn $10 a month as average and see eating twice a day as a luxury.
so anyone who does not take the same position with you is labelled an illustrate, anyway I will not descend so low as to resort to name calling, but u should know that there is something called economic power as well as military power. is it not a shame that despite the fact that as u pointed out that Lagos has a higher GDP than nk , why has that with wealth not translated into meaningful technological development? a country in isolation is a able to develop advanced military tech while ur so called prosperous Nigeria is still struggling with the creation of pencils.

I replied you, check
OK, saw ur previous reply. the point I am trying to make is this:
1.) yes, I agree that the USA will most likely win a war should there be an open confrontation with north Korea, but
2.) nk has the capability to inflict serious damage first on us Asian allies
3.) nk is fast developing the ability to strike us mainland, which could be a game changer because no one has ever successfully launched any attack on us mainland in the previous ww.
3) nk has capability to strike us military bases in Europe and Asia.

if you listen to comments made by some to us defence experts u would realize that Americans are aware of this threat that is why they have not invaded nk like they did with Iraq.

Google THAAD IN ISRAEL

Find out, it's already used there and stationed in parts of eastern europe
thaad is not 100% accurate and so far it has only been tested against rocket launched by Palestinians into isreal., if u were the American president would u risk using a system that is not 100% full proof against a nuclear missile, knowing fully that it would take only one miss for an entire state to be wiped out.

don't kind these people, thaad was designed to take out rockets and it is not 100% accurate, with nuclear weapons it needs to be 101%, because even a single miss will send any location to the stone age.

You guys are too quick to blame Trump but never reprimand the pyscho called Kim. On numerous occasions, the United States had expressed interest of diplomatic solution to this whole crisis but this fat fuzk always responded with aggression and ridiculous missile strikes. It is DPRK that needs to stop intimidating her neighbors. All these muscle flexing foreign policy to the US & her allies is not necessary. They should let go the Korean war hangover.
there would be no crisis in the first place if the USA does not try to boss it over other nations. if the USA possesses nuclear weapons then it has no moral right to prevent other nations from acquiring theirs.

The only reason y US can't confront them is because of the proximity of the allies of U.S to north korea

North Korea won't stand against the United States beyond a few minutes, please the title is too dramatic
if north Korea was as weak as u suggested, the USA would have long invaded and removed the present regime like they did in Iraq and Libya. iraq was not even developing nuclear weapons when they invaded. intelligence reports on north Korea confirms the presence of nuclear weapons as well as other deadly weapons in the north Korean arsenal. north Korea is actually one if the few nations that might be able to inflict serious damage on the USA in case of an open confrontation and don't forget the various Asian allies of the USA are within range of north Korean missiles, if the USA attacks north Korea those allies will suffer more.

I see you are far well read and abreast about things and not coloured by silly ethnic inclinations.

You should ignore those things. Arguing with them is akin to arguing with agberos at Oshodi isale. You can't beat them at their mudslinging game.

If anyone would come here and still shout GEJ and say he was a definition of democracy then that should have told you that person has an IQ less than my shoe size.
while I will not go so far to say that gej was a definition of democracy but it is a fact that:
1.) gej was far more democratic and tolerant in his style of leadership than buhari.
2. in all economic indices, so far, gej did far better than buhari, even in the agro sector that they have been parroting as the replacement for oil, gej did far better.
3. gej's appointees were corrupt, but even buhari who came in with the mantra of anti corruption has not done better, we have heard of budget padding, mainagate, the former sgf scandal and as we speak they have not been able to successfully prosecute any corrupt official and the ones in his admin seems to get a free pass.

Earlier before this,Radio stations had been forced to cut down on the number of phone in programs they can air,and to stop the airing of "unscreened" phone in responses.
Radio continental probably saw where it was heading and has completely wiped out its talk programs. and rebranded its name and genre for good measure.
This goverment is trying to get away with unimaginable atrocities and wants to hear only views and posts from Buhari as s lickers,but it wont be allowed.
We fought GEJ passionately and would do same with Buhari.He can only shut out the voices and views of timid illiterates,but long as God gives one life,the goverment will continue being exposed for its follies.
the govt will only be able to block sites for those who are uninformed, even advanced countries likely China and USA cannot completely block out any site. it is the internet we are talking about, there are tools for circumventing any wall and trust me those tools are easy to use.

so it will be okay with u if buhari goes against the law by denying him his entitlement as provided in the constitution? the. it is precisely this reason why leader will provide basic amenities with public funds and expect the citizens to roll on the floor to thank them.
