the problem in this whole scenario is that the so called G22 was formed at the wrong time. They went to Abuja at the wrong time. They did the right thing at the wrong time! All because of selfish individual interest!

If they sat down the night before the primaries together as pdp governorship aspirants and choose a candidate amongst themselves, Akpabio wouldn't have been outplayed. It would have been the other way round!

They knew Akpabio was not gonna play a fair one but they could not think outside the box. It's a simple tactic Akpabio used, which is "you can easily break a broom when it's divided" but selfish interest blinded them all that they went into the primaries, entering the stadium that day like an individual broom stick and they were all broken to pieces!

My brother if they had done what you suggested a night to primaries, nothing would have change. Akpabio had hijacked the process, delegates were ushered into the venue without accreditation and but with marked ballot papar for candidate of the governor. In Nigeria governors are powerful. With the kind of money in the state like Akwa Ibom the governor is next to God.

This should make FP please.

When I watch Muazu spoke at the pdp presidential launch advising GEJ against using and dumping party members, I knew it that billions of Naira was forcing thrash from his mouth. But when he talked about equity and injustice as pdp problem, I said oh, it is a strategic way of bargaining for much more money, because there's no greater injustice than for 22 people to be rigged out in a primary filled with irregularities and these same 22 people in keeping to the faith and believe in the party process dropped 22 appeal letters to the appeal committee headed by Muazu the party chairman and for 30 days the Muazu led committee blinded by billions of akwa ibom money refuse to hear the complain of these 22 akwa ibom men and woman. Please where is equity and justice that Muazu mentioned in his speech. Well in a contest of 23 people, 22 saw something wrong and only one saw the opposite view, 22 can never be wrong. akwa ibom G22 you guys have tried your best to seek redress, please come back home! come back home!! come back home!!! The majority of akwa ibomites are waiting to receive you guys our heros. One thing is sure, no matter how painful it will be, but surely we will revenge with our votes come Febuary 14th on the presidential election day and the other elections that will follow thereafter.

This is not the best of times for the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom state, as
its influential members are threatening to pull
out of the party over what they described as
undemocratic acts of Godswill Akpabio, the
governor of the state.
The aggrieved members include 22
governorship aspirants, known as G22, all the
three senators from the state; the six members
of the house of representatives and 14
members of the state house of assembly.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on
Thursday, the politicians, who alleged that
Akpabio is using his influence to prevent the
leadership of the party from looking into their
petitions, threatened to pull out of the party if
no action is taken by January 11.
While the G22 is asking that the December 8
primary election that led to the emergence of
Udom Emmanuel as the flagbearer of the party
in the state be cancelled because it was fraught
with irregularities, others are of the view that
Akpabio has hijacked the party.
Led by Nsima Ekere, the immediate past deputy
governor of the state, who resigned in 2012
after falling out with Akpabio, they also
accused Adamu Muazu, the chairman of the
party, of conniving with their governor.
Ekere said Akpabio induced each of the I, 200
delegates that voted in the governorship
primaries with N1 million, paving way for the
emergence of Emmanuel, who was presented
with the party’s flag during the flag-off of
President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign in
Lagos on Thursday.
Assam Asas, a gubernatorial aspirant, accused
Mu’azu of doing nothing to resolve the crisis,
saying the democratic structure of the party
was weak.
“This party prides itself as the biggest in
Africa,” he said.
“But if the democratic experience in the party is
weak, the democratic experience of the largest
party in Africa is weak and the credibility of the
elections at the grassroots becomes a problem
and honestly speaking, PDP is in trouble in
Akwa Ibom State due to one man dominance of
the whole process,” he said.
Helen Esuene, a serving senator and also a
governorship aspirant, advised the PDP to look
into the matter urgently, in its own interest.
“Right now, our patience is running out because
we have not been fairly treated at by the party,”
she said.
“Let it be said loud and clear that if we are put
to the wall, we will definitely go to where we are
needed.”
For Ita Enang, the chairman, senate committee
on rules and business, Akpabio has through his
actions turned into “the campaign manager of
the opposition in the state”.
“What is urgently needed to be done by all
stakeholders in Akwa Ibom state is to rescue
the state from an arrest of a whole generation
by just one man before the election,” he said.
“Because if that is not done, voters will surely
do the appropriate thing at the appropriate time
during the elections.”

When I watch Muazu spoke at the PDP presidential launch advising GEJ against using and dumping party members, I knew it that billions of Naira was forcing thrash from his mouth. But when he talked about equity and injustice as PDP problem, I said oh, it is a strategic way of bargaining for much more money, because there's no greater injustice than for 22 people to be rigged out in a primary filled with irregularities and these same 22 people in keeping to the faith and believe in the party process dropped 22 appeal letters to the appeal committee headed by Muazu the party chairman and for 30 days the Muazu led committee blinded by billions of Akwa Ibom money refuse to hear the complain of these 22 Akwa Ibom men and woman. Please where is equity and justice that Muazu mentioned in his speech. Well in a contest of 23 people, 22 saw something wrong and only one saw the opposite view, 22 can never be wrong.

empty stands and Ameachi could not believe it.

The citadel of corruption is the man he gave APC flag in Akwa Ibom state. if you don't know, he is the only man that as at 2012 was giving money to his supporters with Citizen bank wraps. please check when that bank was disbanded.

dem say person get MSC in strategic studies u still dey there they ask for ssce.....is ssce greater than MSC?.....APC is using PDP to gain public support yet they are not thinking......dis pple are truly clueless like their principal

Has he presented any of his certificate? be it PHD or FSLC

Justbright:
From 1979 -1980, at the rank of colonel, Buhari attended
the US Army War College (established in 1901) in Carlisle,
Pennsylvania, United States of America and gained a
Masters Degree in Strategic Studies . [10] [11] Upon
completion of the on-campus full-time resident program
lasting ten months and the two-year-long, distance
learning program, the United States Army War College
(USAWC) college awards its graduate officers a master's
degree in Strategic Studies.

brutef0rce101:
Your link shows only late and honored alunmi of that school for various years. Show us the link where it states the list of 1980 alumus

Still waiting... Also you can check classmates.com for the list of the 1980 Us War college alum

You can navigate the website and other US Army sites. I no go fit copy everything thing for u na.

the crowd from all the pictures posted by the supposed liar and the supposed truthsayer show that the crowd is not that encouraging. I expected a tumultuous crowd.

From my research, the US Army college runs a Faculty programs were the award, MSC in various fields. They also have a military courses for international military affiliates which they call International Fellows which a training certificate of completion is given for trained officers in various divisions like Infantry (IN), artillery (ARTY) Amoury (ARMY), Strategy and training (S&T) and others. My curiosity made me check the alumni for the 1980 set and register of the dead alumni. I can't see any name that tally with the names on the plague both on the faculty list and the International fellow list. Could it be that this plague which is not a certificate but an equivalent of a matriculation or graduation list is fake? or any serious employer can accept a graduation list in place of my certificate? compare the list below for names with 80 after their names to the list on the plague if any name correspond.

Definition: This entry gives the gross domestic product (GDP) or value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a given year. A nation's GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates is the sum value of all goods and services produced in the country valued at prices prevailing in the United States. This is the measure most economists prefer when looking at per-capita welfare and when comparing living conditions or use of resources across countries. The measure is difficult to compute, as a US dollar value has to be assigned to all goods and services in the country regardless of whether these goods and services have a direct equivalent in the United States (for example, the value of an ox-cart or non-US military equipment); as a result, PPP estimates for some countries are based on a small and sometimes different set of goods and services. In addition, many countries do not formally participate in the World Bank's PPP project that calculates these measures, so the resulting GDP estimates for these countries may lack precision. For many developing countries, PPP-based GDP measures are multiples of the official exchange rate (OER) measure. The difference between the OER- and PPP-denominated GDP values for most of the weathly industrialized countries are generally much smaller.

Public Debt Definition: This entry records the cumulative total of all government borrowings less repayments that are denominated in a country's home currency. Public debt should not be confused with external debt, which reflects the foreign currency liabilities of both the private and public sector and must be financed out of foreign exchange earnings

You can see that some like Canada started since 1960 to be consistent in power generation

1. United States

Production: 4,110 (billion kWh)

United States continues to get most of its electrical production from conventional thermal power plants.

Most of these are coal; however, the 1990s and 2000s have seen a disproportionate increase in natural gas and other kinds of gas powered plants.

2. China

Production: 3,451 (billion kWh)

China has abundant energy. The country has the world's third-largest coal reserves and massive hydroelectric resources.

But there is a geographical mismatch between the location of the coal fields in the north-east and north, hydropower in the south-west, and the fast-growing industrial load centers of the east and south.

3. Japan

Production: 956.5 (billion kWh)

In 2008, the power sources for electric energy were 27 per cent from coal, 26 per cent from gas, 13 per cent from oil, 24 per cent from nuclear power, and eight per cent from hydro power.

4. Russia

Production: 925.9 (billion kWh)

In 2008, the end use of electricity was 4.3 per cent of the world total.

In 2008, the gross production of electricity was 5.1 per cent of the world total. The share of natural gas fuelled electricity was 48 per cent of the gross electricity production in 2008.

The share of coal and peat electricity was 19 per cent of the gross electricity production.

5. Canada

Production: 620.7 (billion kWh)

Canada is the world's second-largest producer of hydroelectricity, which accounted for 58 per cent of all electric generation in 2007.

Since 1960, large hydroelectric projects, especially in Quebec, British Columbia, Manitoba and Newfoundland and Labrador, have significantly increased the country's generation capacity.

In Ontario, Canadian-designed CANDU nuclear reactors supplied more than half the provincial electricity demand in 2007.

6. Germany

Production: 593.4 (billion kWh)

Germany, the largest exporter of electricity with 10 per cent of the overall exports, reinforced its position as a net exporter by 20 per cent during the year 2010.

Germany was in the fourth position for coal-produced power after China, the US and India.

7. France

Production: 535.7 (billion kWh)

In 2009, 76 per cent electricity was produced with nuclear power, 14 per cent with renewable sources and 10 per cent with fossil fuels.

France has the largest share of nuclear electricity in the world in its grid. The production of nuclear power in France decreased 12 per cent in 2009 compared to 2004 equivalent to eight per cent units share less nuclear power.

It was almost equal to seven per cent drop in electricity export.

8. Brazil

Production: 438.8 (billion kWh)

The country has the largest capacity for water storage in the world, being highly dependent on hydroelectricity generation capacity, which meets over 80 per cent of its electricity demand.

This reduces the country's generation costs relative to countries with more diverse supply mixes.

However, this dependence on hydropower also makes Brazil especially vulnerable to power supply shortages in drought years, as was demonstrated by the 2001-2002 energy crisis.

9. South Korea

Production: 417 (billion kWh)

South Korea placed a heavy emphasis on nuclear power generation. The country's first nuclear power plant, Kori Number One located near Pusan, opened in 1977.

The government decision in July 2008 to increase investment in renewable energy to reduce reliance on foreign oil imports may provide incentive for conglomerates' solar plans.

10. The United Kingdom

Production: 368.6 (billion kWh)

By 2004, coal use in power stations had fallen by 43.6 per cent compared to 1980 levels, though up slightly from its low in 1999.

From the mid 1990s new renewable energy sources began to contribute to the electricity generated, adding to a small hydroelectricity generating capacity.

The UK government energy policy expects that the total contribution from renewables should rise to 10 per cent.

11. Spain

Production: 300.5 (billion kWh)

In 2009, Spain produced 13 per cent wind power compared to the use of electricity.

The wind capacity installed at end 2010 will, in a normal wind year, produce 14.4 per cent of electricity, when the equivalent value for Germany is 9.4 per cent, Portugal 14 per cent and Denmark 24 per cent.

12. Italy

Production: 289.7 (billion kWh)

Italy does not have nuclear power due to a public vote. Italy voted against nuclear power after public voting in 1987 after the Chernobyl disaster.

According to the National Renewable Energy Action Plan Italy will not meet its 17 per cent renewable electricity share target in 2020.

13. Mexico

Production: 245 (billion kWh)

Total electricity coverage in Mexico is 97 per cent, being almost 100 per cent in urban areas and around 95 per cent in rural ones.

The generation sector was opened to private participation in 1992. However, the state-owned utility, is still the dominant player in the generation sector, with two-thirds of installed capacity.

14. South Africa

Production: 240.3 (billion kWh)

South Africa was 6. top hard coal producer in 2009. Hard coal production was 1,620 TWh in 2009 and total energy production 1,995 TWh in 2008.

Coal production and use creates in South Africa coal combustion wastes, coal mine wastes and toxic coal land fires.

15. Australia

Production: 239.9 (billion kWh)

In Australia, green energy is accredited under the GreenPower scheme whereby all distributors are government audited bi-annually to ensure that customers are getting exactly what is described in their purchased products.

In the 2009 settlement period there were 904,716 GreenPower customers Australia-wide, accounting for a total of 2,194,934 MWh of electricity generation, a 10 per cent increase over 2008.

16. Taiwan

Production: 229.1 (billion kWh)

The Taiwan government has been active in promoting energy efficiency, and set a target of energy efficiency of 33 per cent by 2025.

The government is currently assisting 200 major energy users (companies and organizations) in implementing energy-saving measures.

Taiwan is preparing for the age of high oil prices, and is proactively developing clean energy, such as solar and wind power and biofuels.

The efforts would help reduce Taiwan's reliance on imported oil, while contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases.

17. Iran

Production: 212.8 (billion kWh)

Iran's domestic consumption and production have steadily grown together since 1984 and it is still heavily reliant on traditional thermal energy sources of electricity, with a small fraction being produced by hydroelectric plants.

Today, Iran ranks 17th-largest producer and 20th-largest consumer of electricity in the world.

18. Turkey

Production: 198.4 (billion kWh)

As of 2005, Turkey had the fifth-highest direct usage and capacity of geothermal energy in the world.

It is stated that at least 1.5 million houses currently heated by natural gas can switch to being heated by thermal waters.

19. Saudi Arabia

Production: 179.1 (billion kWh)

Electricity generation is 65 per cent from oil, 27 per cent from natural gas and eight per cent from steam.

A looming energy shortage requires Saudi Arabia to increase its capacity.

The government has approved the construction of a $300 million dollar facility to turn waste into energy.

The facility will process 180 tonnes of waste per day, producing 6MW of electricity and 250,000 gallons of distilled water.

20. Ukraine

Production: 172.9 (billion kWh)

Ukraine was the eighth-highest nuclear electricity producer in 2009. More than 46 per cent of domestic electricity generation was nuclear. This was second highest, with only France higher.

Energoatom is the state nuclear company established in Kiev.

21. Poland

Production: 149.1 (billion kWh)

In 2009, Poland was world's ninth-largest hard coal producer. The country is also the second-largest coal consumer in Europe behind Germany.

The Polish government has plans to reach 2,000 MW in wind power capacity and a 2.3 per cent share of wind generation in domestic energy consumption.

22. Thailand

Production: 148.20 (billion kWh)

In 2008, power generated from natural gas-fired power plants of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, Independent Power Producers and Small Power Producers accounted for a share of 70 per cent of the total power generation.

Next to natural gas were such "solid fuels" as lignite, constituting 12.6 per cent, and imported coal of which the quality is better than lignite, representing 8.2 per cent.

23. Sweden

Production: 144 (billion kWh)

More than a third of Sweden's energy supply depends on imports. Domestic energy production is largely limited to electricity generation using nuclear energy and renewable sources (almost exclusively hydro).

Energy imports are mainly oil from Denmark, Norway and Russia, with some small quantities of hard coal imports.

24. Norway

Production: 142.7 (billion kWh)

Electricity generation in Norway is almost entirely from hydroelectric power plants.

Norway was the first country to generate electricity commercially using sea-bed tidal power.

A 300 kilowatt prototype underwater turbine started generation in the Kvalsund, south of Hammerfest, on November 13, 2003.

25. Indonesia

Production: 129 (billion kWh)

Although Indonesia generates 86 per cent of its electricity from conventional thermal sources (coal, gas, and oil), it was the third-largest generator of geothermal power in 2009.

26. Egypt

Production: 118.4 (billion kWh)

Egypt's installed generating capacity stood at 23.4 gigawatts as of 2008, with plans to further expand capacity through additional investments in natural gas, nuclear and renewable energy.

27. Venezuela

Production: 113.3 (billion kWh)

The main electricity source is hydropower, which accounted for 71 per cent in 2004. In 2004, Venezuela produced 70 TWh of hydropower, which accounts 2.5 per cent of world's total.

At the end of 2002, total installed hydroelectric generating capacity accounted 13.76 GW with additional 4.5 GW under construction and 7.4 GW of planned capacity.

28. Argentina

Production: 109.5 (billion kWh)

Faced with rising electricity demand (over six per cent annually) and declining reserve margins, the government of Argentina is in the process of commissioning large projects, both in the generation and transmission sectors.

To keep up with rising demand, it is estimated that about 1,000 MW of new generation capacity are needed each year.

An important number of these projects are being financed by the government through trust funds, while independent private initiative is still limited.

India

Production: 723.8 (billion kWh)

The country's annual energy production increased from about 190 billion kWh in 1986 to more than 837 billion kWh in 2010.

The Indian government has set a modest target to add about 78,000 MW of installed generation capacity by 2012, which it is likely to miss.

Four major economic and social drivers characterize the energy policy of India: a rapidly growing economy, increasing household incomes, limited domestic reserves of fossil fuels and the adverse impact on the environment of rapid development in urban and regional areas.

na waooo. so dark. the statistics might be correct afterall

UTEWUOJO:
Things will only improve when Buhari assume office come 2015.

Buhari should come with a clear road map and tell me that he will give 24/7 power to all the homes in Nigeria before he can get my vote.

seges:
You divide the generation capacity by number in the population. Nigeria Generating capacity is meant for a population of 10-20 million and not for 150 million because of the corruption of people like Liyel Imoke,Agagu and other Ministers of Power in the past that embezzled all the money.

If you know the total number of houses in Nigeria then we can have some figures. electricity go to homes not individual.

Akainzo:
This is what people do when they want to bamboozle with fake statistics 0- the same as when government keeps shouting the biggest economy stuff.

Now truly we are 4th in Africa and 70th in the world, however what should matter to Nigerians is what is available to shared to Nigerians for use in their homes, businesses and resorts. Once we check this, it show a very abysmal performance.

Once you put the production in relation to the population of Nigeria, the data shows clearly how much of a cesspit we are in.

Here is the same data based on Per-Capita - We are number 185 in the world!

So China can not even generate power to meet their population and they are number one in the world. even almighty USA

Extra information for the guy that ask for consumption rate.

1. United States

Production: 4,110 (billion kWh)

United States continues to get most of its electrical production from conventional thermal power plants.

Most of these are coal; however, the 1990s and 2000s have seen a disproportionate increase in natural gas and other kinds of gas powered plants.

2. China

Production: 3,451 (billion kWh)

China has abundant energy. The country has the world's third-largest coal reserves and massive hydroelectric resources.

But there is a geographical mismatch between the location of the coal fields in the north-east and north, hydropower in the south-west, and the fast-growing industrial load centers of the east and south.

3. Japan

Production: 956.5 (billion kWh)

In 2008, the power sources for electric energy were 27 per cent from coal, 26 per cent from gas, 13 per cent from oil, 24 per cent from nuclear power, and eight per cent from hydro power.

4. Russia

Production: 925.9 (billion kWh)

In 2008, the end use of electricity was 4.3 per cent of the world total.

In 2008, the gross production of electricity was 5.1 per cent of the world total. The share of natural gas fuelled electricity was 48 per cent of the gross electricity production in 2008.

The share of coal and peat electricity was 19 per cent of the gross electricity production.

5. Canada

Production: 620.7 (billion kWh)

Canada is the world's second-largest producer of hydroelectricity, which accounted for 58 per cent of all electric generation in 2007.

Since 1960, large hydroelectric projects, especially in Quebec, British Columbia, Manitoba and Newfoundland and Labrador, have significantly increased the country's generation capacity.

In Ontario, Canadian-designed CANDU nuclear reactors supplied more than half the provincial electricity demand in 2007.

6. Germany

Production: 593.4 (billion kWh)

Germany, the largest exporter of electricity with 10 per cent of the overall exports, reinforced its position as a net exporter by 20 per cent during the year 2010.

Germany was in the fourth position for coal-produced power after China, the US and India.

7. France

Production: 535.7 (billion kWh)

In 2009, 76 per cent electricity was produced with nuclear power, 14 per cent with renewable sources and 10 per cent with fossil fuels.

France has the largest share of nuclear electricity in the world in its grid. The production of nuclear power in France decreased 12 per cent in 2009 compared to 2004 equivalent to eight per cent units share less nuclear power.

It was almost equal to seven per cent drop in electricity export.

8. Brazil

Production: 438.8 (billion kWh)

The country has the largest capacity for water storage in the world, being highly dependent on hydroelectricity generation capacity, which meets over 80 per cent of its electricity demand.

This reduces the country's generation costs relative to countries with more diverse supply mixes.

However, this dependence on hydropower also makes Brazil especially vulnerable to power supply shortages in drought years, as was demonstrated by the 2001-2002 energy crisis.

9. South Korea

Production: 417 (billion kWh)

South Korea placed a heavy emphasis on nuclear power generation. The country's first nuclear power plant, Kori Number One located near Pusan, opened in 1977.

The government decision in July 2008 to increase investment in renewable energy to reduce reliance on foreign oil imports may provide incentive for conglomerates' solar plans.

10. The United Kingdom

Production: 368.6 (billion kWh)

By 2004, coal use in power stations had fallen by 43.6 per cent compared to 1980 levels, though up slightly from its low in 1999.

From the mid 1990s new renewable energy sources began to contribute to the electricity generated, adding to a small hydroelectricity generating capacity.

The UK government energy policy expects that the total contribution from renewables should rise to 10 per cent.

11. Spain

Production: 300.5 (billion kWh)

In 2009, Spain produced 13 per cent wind power compared to the use of electricity.

The wind capacity installed at end 2010 will, in a normal wind year, produce 14.4 per cent of electricity, when the equivalent value for Germany is 9.4 per cent, Portugal 14 per cent and Denmark 24 per cent.

12. Italy

Production: 289.7 (billion kWh)

Italy does not have nuclear power due to a public vote. Italy voted against nuclear power after public voting in 1987 after the Chernobyl disaster.

According to the National Renewable Energy Action Plan Italy will not meet its 17 per cent renewable electricity share target in 2020.

13. Mexico

Production: 245 (billion kWh)

Total electricity coverage in Mexico is 97 per cent, being almost 100 per cent in urban areas and around 95 per cent in rural ones.

The generation sector was opened to private participation in 1992. However, the state-owned utility, is still the dominant player in the generation sector, with two-thirds of installed capacity.

14. South Africa

Production: 240.3 (billion kWh)

South Africa was 6. top hard coal producer in 2009. Hard coal production was 1,620 TWh in 2009 and total energy production 1,995 TWh in 2008.

Coal production and use creates in South Africa coal combustion wastes, coal mine wastes and toxic coal land fires.

15. Australia

Production: 239.9 (billion kWh)

In Australia, green energy is accredited under the GreenPower scheme whereby all distributors are government audited bi-annually to ensure that customers are getting exactly what is described in their purchased products.

In the 2009 settlement period there were 904,716 GreenPower customers Australia-wide, accounting for a total of 2,194,934 MWh of electricity generation, a 10 per cent increase over 2008.

16. Taiwan

Production: 229.1 (billion kWh)

The Taiwan government has been active in promoting energy efficiency, and set a target of energy efficiency of 33 per cent by 2025.

SO, THIS LIST IS TRYING TO TELL US THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICITY GENERATED BUT NOT THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTED TO THE MASSES ABI?
IF NIGERIA IS THAT HIGH UP THE LADDER (THOUGH 4TH IN AFRICA AND 70TH IN THE WORLD IS ABYSMAL) THEN WHY ARENT WE HAVING 24 HOURS POWER SUPPLY?? DOES IT MEAN THAT THE POWER GENERATED IS BEING DISTRIBUTED TO INVISIBLE HOUSES OR INVISIBLE PEOPLE?

THIS IS A TRUE DEFINITION OF STORY FOR THE GODS!!.

VERY SOON ARDENT SUPPORTERS OF MEDIOCRITY WILL COUNT IT AS AN ACHIEVEMENT OF JONATHAN.

Will post the amount distributed now

Current rating for top 100 electricity producers in the world shows Nigeria 4th in Africa, 70th in the world. more work needed to reach top 5 in the world and from the history of the nation in that ranking it took them over 30 years of consistent and articulated plan to reach that peak.

d problem is corruptn...gej can gv us. 24hrs. electricity but he has allow corruptn. penetrate his gov't and dats wat. buhari will not. welcum..#Buhari/osinbajo2015

With the fight against corruption as a factor to succeed, now I want to know the time frame to achieve 24/7 power across Nigeria. I will not welcome the stories like, It is work in progress vote me again to complete the Change.
Buhari show me road map to change.

It is time to be objective and not fight among ourselves as these politicians are here again for our votes.
I saw this in APC/Buhari manifesto:
he says he will “Generate, transmit and distribute electricity on a 24/7 basis. and I want some clarity.

The ambiguity of APC and Buhari change slogan has been a concern to me. My one vote and that of my wife need an explicit road map to this change from APC and Buhari for us to cast our vote come February 2015.
On electricity, I need the following clarifications from Buhari to convince me that change is coming;
I want Buhari to tell me the total number of power in megawatts that Nigeria required to have constant 24/7 power in every home in Nigeria.
I want him in all honesty to tell me the number of years (1 year, 2 years, 3 years or 4 years) that will take him to build the power plants that will generate and this amount of electricity.
After generation, I want him to tell me the number of communities that are not connected to the national grid and the number of years it will take him to link the entire country including sambisa forest area to the national grid.
I want him to also tell me the total number of transformers needed to ensure electricity is distributed to every household from Otueke in Bayelsa to Chibok in Borno and from Kaura-Namoda in Zamfara to Oshodi in Lagos.
He should tell me how long it will take him to get transformers to all the communities across the entire landscape of Nigeria for effective distribution of electricity.
Finally on achieving these set goals within the timeline he will provide, I want him to tell me what I will pay for the electricity to enjoy 24/7 hours power supply.
I need these answers to take my stand on 2015, not war of words between him and anybody.

he says he will “Generate, transmit and distribute electricity on a 24/7 basis whilst simultaneously ensuring the development of sustainable/renewable energy, by 2019.

The ambiguity of APC and Buhari change slogan has been a concern to me. My one vote and that of my wife need and explicit road map to this change from APC and Buhari for us to cast our vote.
