BB all the way. We are here, we know the votes were rigged in the SS and SE, we will be here to witness goodluck dabaru una lives for another 4 years.

Nigerians are their own worst enemies, we have voted in a man that people feel is decent ( no achievement in twelve years) on the platform of a party that has enslaved us, my own take on everything is that we are not ready for good leadership, when we are ready for it, the Ijaw man, the Yoruba man will vote in people who will best represent his interests irrespective of tribes. I do not expect anything from a GEJ Presidency, electricity might come but the costs will be too high, corruption will remain the same, the law enforcement agents will continue to abuse the law and last but not least, there will not be true federalism.

As a BB supporter, I still believe in Buhari, he might have lost this battle, in the long run, decent Nigerians who see the impending doom that the PDP will bestow on Nigerians will win the war. I pray that we all live to see the performance of the PDP government in the next 4 years.

Oshiomole is trying in Edo state jare, people who do not know the state of Edo under Igbinedion have no rights to say anything, the man has transformed Benin, what did PDP do in over 8 years, Adams is good. I do not know where Amaechi got this reputation as a very good governor from, the guy is as corrupt as they come, most of the work being done in PH is shoddy, though he has tried as per schools sha.

We want international observers in all of the regions, is it not the UK that is fighting our corruption war for us by jailing stealing governors? Why is Rossike afraid of observers if he is not ready to rig, who is David Mark to be giving observers conditions?

I will still be here whether BB loses or not, we will all be here to witness PDP and GEJ ruin our lives for another four year.

Abeg we did not have blackouts during Buhari's time, it was from IBB's time that we started having those issues.

@Ikey

Tinubu started BRT
Tinubu started the Ozumba Mbadiwe / Lekki Road
Tinubu increased revenue from 400M to 14 billion
and so on and so forth

Do not mind this people jare, meanwhile the NEDG people are headed by Taiwo Alimi a PDP chieftain in Ogun state who came on air saying that contestants shaking hands and embracing was introduced to the US by Nigeria (he was on star fm program)

My in-law

Please allow him to post it as many times as possible, there are so many people here who are spreading untruths.

The people of Bauchi voted for Yuguda in 2007 see what they got from him. We need our parties to develop ideologies, we need to know what they stand for, we also need our laws enforced, if I tell you the brazen manner things are done here in Nigeria you will exhale. Lagosians are saying they will vote fashola, they also need to vote the people that will help him achieve his aims in the state house of assembly, if they should vote in the opposition, you and I know that nothing will get done, his budgets will be passed in June, impeachment threat will hang over him at every point in time, now I am not clamoring for yes men, I am only saying if you are going to vote people, vote people in parties that are recognized as having an ideology, Tinubu as crazy as he is, prepared the ground for Fashola.

@Papa

We need to build the discipline, we will continue to be violated until we can build that discipline, we need to be able to run our private and public enterprises in an efficient manner, some of our industries were already dead before power became epileptic and this was due to maladministration, so many private firms are being run like fiefdoms.

You will need to configure your browser settings, if you are using IE do the following: Tools===> Internet Options ===> Connections ===> LAN Settings ====> Use a proxy server.

If the Generating guys are allowed to build a self contained system (generate, transmit and distribute), they will concentrate on the commercial places only, government can not allow that to happen as they will always say there is a need for federal character (poor areas must be covered as well).

ekt

You must deal with government o, Federal Character applies to non humans too, the problem Shell dem had was payment guarantees, they wanted to be paid in barrels of oil (our people no gree), the generating guys need to participate in the downstream part of the business, almost the same way Shell behaves in the oil sector.

Think of all the options, the worst one is what will be saddled with, God bless our leaders, we need a strong government that is ready to regulate this industry.

As per transmission, what makes sense is to have state wide grids with connection to the national one, when you have excess (when demand is low) you should be able to push it to the national grid but because of federal character and all what nots, nobody will allow that. The Generating companies should have a presence at the downstream level or how are they going to be guaranteed their money at the end of the month.

As per WAEC, the passing rate was 2% last year as confirmed by the examining board.

The first time I will meet Obaigbena, he was escaping arrests by jumping into a boat at the back of his office in Apapa, the man na cowboy, he brought everybody to his then new office complex and taxed them all ( around 2000).

If GEJ loses, the good aspect of his power plan will be taken onboard, the rubbish one will be jettisoned, government is a continum (sp?), Buhari must honor agreements made in good faith.

We will pay through our nose for the privatized power, the problem is that the people will be exploited because of a weak government and you cannot compare power to telecoms because at the distribution level it is going to be monopolistic.

@Rossik

Do you think your guys in PDP will allow the fund to be spent on infrastructure, even if the Brazillian guys spend this amount on power will the government be strong enough to regulate them properly?

Seconded, the foundation laid by Tinubu has allowed Fashola to achieve, we need continuity when the new leader has an idea not the clueless people in PDP.

bear

What does not sound correct, the WAEC Stuff?

Abeg I need a UK proxy for me to watch the thing jare, anybody with a proxy?

The distribution end is going to be monopolistic, even if the Government pretends otherwise, do you think each one of the companies will wire cities? I am also sure that capacity sharing will not be done as they will be sabotaging one another, until we have a government that can regulate properly, all of this is a pipe dream ( we go pay tire).

@Beaf

I mixed things up, I know you have accused him of 2.8 billion dollars and that has been refuted, as per the 53 suitcases, what do you think they contained apart from clothes (i.e. if they ever existed).

@Beaf

Where did Buhari get the $28 billion from, people take dollars out of Nigeria and not dollars into Nigeria, you can support GEJ all you want but do not twist facts, my prayers for you is that if GEJ wins, he will run your life the same way he ran Bayelsa.

As per Buhari's economic plan, please read Sanusi's writeup on Buhari's economic policy when he was the President, are you telling me that it is GEJ formulating all these things, we know the guy is just nodding his head to every suggestion made to him.

Which kain red bull year, Ferrari is taking both the constructor and drivers crown this year, Webber and Vettel should please continue taking each other out and no more iffy strategy from Ferrari this year abeg

@bear

I do not think you have read Sanusi's articles, the guy has got it. We all know that appointment of ministers has nothing to do with competence, they just get lucky once in a while when they appoint a competent hand, Jonathan obviously has packed his cabinet full of wasters and we expect more the same if he wins the general elections.

Enugu,

I applaud them grudgingly (Yar Adua and Jonathan) for this though they could have spent the same amount  on newer locomotives (corruption), if we give Jonathan the plaudits for this, then he must take the knock for the twelve years he has been in government without achievements.
