APC over PDP...She's APC at heart

You are under a spell if you believe that a 72 year old uneducated retired general who had absolutely nothing to offer when he was president 32 years ago has suddenly metamorphosed into a Messiah.

It might be locationbased........just like hotspots

A coupist dictator who cut short democracy is suddenly the saint who will redeem the country.

What darkness? It's 2:45 AM here in Uyo, and I still have power supplied to my home by PHC. Do YOU have a bloody clue about what's happening in your own country? GO AND PAY YOUR NEPA BILLS JO'OR! !

THANK YOU!!! You've said it all.

Ladies and gentlemen, GEJ was no fool when he brought in the likes of Prof. Nnaji and the current Power Minister, or when NOI, current Coordinating Minister of Finance and the Economy made Power it's priority in its first few years of administration. Thanks to GEJ:

1) Old power stations were fixed and expanded.
2) New power stations were commissioned and brought online
3) Issue of adequate gas supply to these power stations (gas-powered) was tackled via the GAS REVOLUTION that saw the construction of thousands of miles of gas pipelines across the nation from sources to destinations. At a point, it was no surprise that Nigeria can no longer meet its obligations to its West African clients as it re - routed it's gas to its power stations as it made the power sector it's priority. That was NEVER done by past administrations, GMB ' S inclusive.
4) Our transmission grid has been drastically expanded and modernised with new lines and new substations constructed and commissioned.
5) Same transmission coy managing the grid has been outsourced to Manitoba Power, a reputable Canadian utility firm. Again no surprise there as our original grid was built earlier on by a Canadian firm too.
6) Distribution wise, we've seen the massive distribution of step - down transformers and full implementation of prepaid meters. As a matter of fact, on taking office for the very first time, the current Power Minister, Prof Nebo, he instructed the full release of power transformers hoarded by the now defunct PHCN.

Overall, the strategy adopted has worked. Power generated, previously hovering a bit over 1,000MW during past administrations, has exceeded 4,000MW (except for current drop to 3900+MW, no thanks to sabotaged gas pipelines). Nigerians now enjoy more hours of light compared to yesteryear. As a matter of fact, I can confidently tell you that I personally enjoyed 22 hrs of light all year round at Jalingo, and over 10 hrs of light at Uyo, a dramatic improvement compared to previous years. Business - wise, I've seen a considerable drop in diesel (AGO) consumption at my family owned business from N600, 000.00+/month to a bit over N200 , 000. 00/month.

The system is still not perfect, but GEJ has definitely impressed me.

gogochocolate:
he is simply continuing what the present government is doing. First he forgets that electricity is generated at individual power stations but still transmitted to the national pool for distribution across nigeria. How is he going to change this network architecure and which distribution network is he going to use. Does he know the consequences of privatizing the transmission network with respect to national security. Osibanjo power is not law please don't delve into what you don't know just to appear popular.

Collynzo419:
Vintage GEJ. He uses the same formula and it never ever fails.

1. Just before election, he will start working on projects that Ibos have an emotional attachment to.

2. Ibos will go crazy and start saying that GEJ is their Jesus on earth

3. They vote for him en masse

4. He wins the election

5. A committee will be set up to review the contractual and budgetary implications of the project. After 9 months , the outcome will be to go to the national assembly for legislative authorisation for more funding. This will take about 2 and a half years

6. Number 5 will take a total of 3 years and 3 months- next election cycle starts and promises start again.

Why is anyone not asking why progress has been very slow. They are not exactly building a city on water

lilmaxfidel:
There is a right way and a wrong way to get to know someone for marriage.  The wrong way is to get caught up in the excitement and nuance of a budding relationship and in the process completely forget to ask the critical questions that help determine compatibility.

so based on my observations, here are seven ways to avoid marrying the wrong partner.

Do Not Marry Potential
  Oftentimes men consider marrying a woman hoping she never changes while a woman considers marrying a man she hopes she can change.  This is the wrong approach on both accounts.  Don’t assume that you can change a person after you’re married to them or that they will reach their potential.  There is no guarantee, after all, that those changes will be for the better. In fact, it’s often for the worse. If you can’t accept someone or imagine living with them as they are then don’t marry them.  These differences can include a number of things such as ideological or practical differences in religion, habits, hygiene, communication skills, etc.

Choose Character over Chemistry 

While chemistry and attraction are no doubt important, character precedes them both. A famous quote follows, “Chemistry ignites the fire, but character keeps it burning.” The idea of falling “in love” should never be the sole reason for marrying someone; it is very easy to confuse infatuation and lust for love.  The most important character traits to look for include humility, kindness, responsibility, & happiness.

Avoid Pre-Marital Sexual/Physical Activity

Recognize that there is incredible wisdom in why God has ordered us to refrain from intimacy before marriage; they are to prevent great harms as well as to keep sacred what is the most blessed part of a relationship between a man and a woman.
Aside from the obvious spiritual consequences, when a relationship gets physical before its time, important issues like character, life philosophy, and compatibility go to the wayside. Consequently, everything is romanticized and it becomes difficult to even remember the important issues let alone talk about them.

Avoid Lack of Emotional Connection 

There are four questions that you must answer YES to; Do I respect and admire this person?  What specifically do I respect and admire about this person?
Do I trust this person?  Can I rely on them?  Do I trust their judgment?  Do I trust their word? Can I believe what they say?
Do I feel Safe?  Do I feel emotionally safe with this person?  Can I be vulnerable?  Can I be myself?  Can I be open?  Can I express myself?
Do I feel calm and at peace with this person?
If the answer is “I don’t know, I’m not sure, etc.” keep evaluating until you know for sure and truly understand how you feel. If you don’t feel safe now, you won’t feel safe when you are married.  If you don’t trust now, this won’t change when you are married!

Pay Attention to Your Own Emotional Anxiety

 Choosing someone you don’t feel safe with emotionally is not a good recipe for a long-lasting and loving marriage.  Feeling emotionally safe is the foundation of a strong and healthy marriage.  When you don’t feel safe, you can’t express your feelings and opinions.  Learn how to identify whether you are in an abusive relationship.  If you feel you always have to monitor what you say, if you are with someone and you feel you can’t really express yourself and are always walking on eggshells, then it’s very likely you are in an abusive relationship which is potentially leading to a wrong marriage in all standards.

Beware of Lack of Openness In Your Partner
Many couples make the mistake of not putting everything on the table for discussion from the onset.  Ask yourself, “What do I need to know to be absolutely certain I want to marry this person?” “What bothers me about this person or the relationship?”  It’s very important to identify what’s bothering you, things that concern you, and things you are afraid to bring up for discussion. Then you must have an honest discussion about them. This is a great way to test the strength of your relationship. Bringing up issues when there’s conflict is a great opportunity to really evaluate how well you communicate, negotiate, and work together as a team.  When people get into power struggles and blame each other, it’s an indication they don’t work well as a team.  Also important is being vulnerable around each other. Ask deep questions of each other and see how your partner responds.  How do they handle it?  Are they defensive?  Do they attack?  Do they withdraw?  Do they get annoyed?  Do they blame you?  Do they ignore it?  Do they hide or rationalize it?  [/b]Don’t just listen to what they say but watch for how they say it!

[i]With all this put into considerations, you could really head to a successful marriage

Is it wrong? No dress code was given. They way the interview is, I don't know how it was for others but at my turn, after asking me some questions, I was told to climb a small stage and demonstrate. I wore long sleeve shirt, tucked in properly ironed trousers with socks and my leather sandals.
When one woman sighted my leg she chuckled and whispered in another's ear and they started gossiping my sandals.
It killed my morale and I began to wonder when it became a bad thing to wear sandals. I have many that I used to wear but now I no longer have the courage to.

This is how the sandal looks like like on the leg. My leg is not fine so I won't use it.

I moved into Lagos November ending 2014, and needed to get me a job since by December i had fully settled. I learnt from nairaland that submitting C.Vs online does not really pay off as submitting C.Vs directly to offices. December 18th, I had a burning desire to walk round Toyin/Allen axis of Ikeja and submit application which i did. On Friday 9th January, i wrote my first aptitude test, i was called on Monday , 12th January, for a job i latter turned down, and on Tuesday 13th , i got a better job offer which i took and i am resuming soonest with a big office . Please join me express my unreserved gratitude and appreciation to the GOD OF SHILOH ( COS MY HEAVEN ON EARTH DON START ALREADY), BISHOP DAVID.O.OYEDEPO ( for the speedy fulfillment of his prophetic declaration upon my life) , to Pst. Isreal Akinsanya, Mr. Seun , my fellow nairalanders and all job applicants out there. More jobs and employment to all IJN, Amen

FIVE Reasons to Vote GEJ

1) Consolidate on the agricultural policy - If all we can achieve in the next 4 years is feed ourselves alone without significant import, it would be equivalent to 31 trillion naira per annum assuming 500 naira per day for 170 million Nigerians for 365 days. That is a massive market with mighty potentials for wealth to average Nigerians and significant employment.

2) Sustain the automobile policies - With five car assembly plants nearing completion as at Dec 2014 and another 10 targeting completion by Dec 2015. We can commence and sustain car assembly. By 2017, the car manufacturers will commence manufacturing of the spare parts in-country. and with the re-invigoration within the power sector and ajaokuta steel plant, this industry will be the soul of manufacturing in the whole of Africa. Nigeria will become a car export country for the region in the next 5 to 6 years

3) Ensure continuity on power roadmap en-route constant power - Nigeria is few years to constant power, with lots of power plants nearing completion already, the ongoing gas assembly plant in Delta state, the ongoing investment by the private investors and the bids in hand for foreign competitors that will be introduced in 2016 .... we cannot afford to distort any of these ongoing plans. The story about constant power will soon be history

4) Ensure true democracy is further entrenched into our society. 4 more years of freedom of speech/ information and free/ fair elections will deepen our democracy for better years. Autocracy, intimidation, press bondage and unfair elections will be alien to us come 2019. And any government afterwards can only continue or better the process because the foundations would have fully solidified

5) Ensure that our infrastructures get the desired attention including our roads, railways, airports etc and sustained for the long term. Ensure that the oil and gas sector is deregulated through removal of subsidy to allow private sector participation with the consequent emergence of numerous refineries and petrochemical industries. Continue set up of the right institutions to fight corruption like the e-wallet system for fertilizer scam, biometric registration for ghost workers scam, pension reforms for pension scam etc.
