If they post a picture, how do you trust it's the bandit X that was killed not the one from last year? Or bandit from Bauchi

[color=royalblue]Someone posted a video of Bokoharams killed by the army here. I can't remember the person.

I am sure that almost everybody commended that kill, even those that slander Buhari.

Nothing was posted, and you're already asking if people will trust.

That's like giving them more reasons to believe it an audio bandit leader[/color]

Amoto94:
I get your point about the trust issues and the need for effective communication from the side of the authorities but my response to the guy was due to the mockery laden retort he contorted. I'm not sure a thousand videos will convince him because he's already concluded that government is pampering terrorists despite numerous evidences pointing to the contrary.

[color=royalblue]Many people think the government is pampering terrorists. Its left for the government to show them that its not true, instead of the "Just trust me" reason they keep showing.

What you posted is really a big victory. This is what I expect to see videos, pictures, press statements, and talks here and there.

Someone goes to a school in the US and kills people. Despite the fact that the killer is still on the run, you see the police giving statements,
providing footages of how they are still tracking the killers. These moves make people feel safer and the killer uncomfortable.

The only way to clear doubts is with proof and evidences.

Let the government show people that truly a bandit leader and 27 accomplices have been killed. It would go a long way in passing a message, instead of few Characters on Twitter [/color]

Amoto94:
You can as well join the camp of the bandits inside the forests to test the efficiency and efficacy of NAF bomb raids. Isn't it the same America that killed and buried Bin Laden without showing us the body of the man, during the time of David Cameron as Prime Minister he ordered airstrikes on ISIS members without parliamentary approval, I don't know when showing pictures prove anything especially in this era of advanced graphics design.

[color=royalblue]I think you should look at it from his angle.

We are in times when almost the whole population do not trust the government. One effective way to build that bridge is through proof and communication.

You just said NAF killed a Bandit Kingpin and 27 of his soldiers. One would expect this news to be backed with pictures, videos, press statements. These are ways to show the people you are on ground, and it can instill fear into the enemies camp

Everything must not be Arguement. The guy has a point.

Which governorship ticket Vivour win again?

I thought it was Salvador?[/color]

Theflint1:
"As governor, I come here, you know what people tell me...this man bought this house...why will I buy a house in America, I don't live in America, I have nothing to do with America. It only costs me $200 to come here and go, why will I buy a house?"

And you're convinced the context of the above statement was him referring to his flight ticket?

Your bias is strong on this one...check your bias, or give some other person to listen, it's funny you're on this the way you are when it's not that you're trolling.

It’s a dongle that will allow me record video feed from hdmi to my laptop

As for the Everton game, Jorginho was awful, kk has a few mistakes in him, chillwell was terrible, Kante impressed, broja is an average player, havertz was surprising alright, I still don’t understand the drags considering the fact that he played on the left, mount was mount

I will be more detailed when I get my tools

[color=royalblue]This guy[/color]

GloriousGbola:
don't worry, na white guy. very small p***k

just close your eyes and think of green card

[color=royalblue]I no do again.

*tears international passport*[/color]

GloriousGbola:
izzou, this is how its done

you cannot escape it ooo

you go chop the d to japa

[color=royalblue]What about claiming bi?

Or transgender?

I no fit do this one abeg[/color]

Segedinho:
Obi is a politician and i dont think any Nigerian trusts their opinion.


but in this race...Obi IMO is the best outa d rest...reason i am voting for him.


i only brought that clip to get ur response cos to me his words are shocking

[color=royalblue]Obi and his party has not ruled. So I'm voting for him to punish the others for not performing, and also hoping he will have sense and do something too.

I don't believe in certificates and all that. If you like, school for Saturn, I don't care anymore. Our politicians have shown us that even with education, they can be useless.

My own is that you tell us how you intend to fix the country. Tell us the problems on ground and how you want to solve it.

[/color]

[color=royalblue]Nigeria's problems are enormous. Too much to even think it can vanish in 4 years.

So when someone is telling you he's going to turn the country from consumption to production,
how do you intend to do it with little or no resources?

I kuku no believe say anything fit change sha. So my hopes can never be dashed [/color]

Segedinho:
If the law states you can contest in any party..why are you guys so concerned on why peter left pdp...??..

[color=royalblue]Concerned ke?

I'm only trashing that Holy and Integrity mantle you people are using to hail Obi.

He's no different from the others.[/color]

Segedinho:
common sense makes you want to ask questions.


he said "great men read from home"...meaning to hell with pry/sec cert...

same tinubu said..unknown soldiers stole his cert......

is this normal to you.

if you can assume on Obi vs pdp....what is ur assumption here

[color=royalblue]You guys are missing the point

The Law requires the minimum certificate to be a primary school one. I don't even know where mine is anymore. I went back to my primary school, and they told me I have to pay school fees from when I finished in the late 90s till date.

I kuku leave am for them.

Primary school cert is the minimum. If Tinubu brings a Master degree certificate, why should. we bother about the minimum?

Na una dey make this thing look childish.

As long as the Law is there, he's overqualified.

Make sure you vote in Senators that will change the law to presentation of all educational certificates. That way, people like Tinubu may not stand a chance [/color]

Segedinho:
izzou no want offend people...he just dey mask am n i respect him decision though.


i am in shock(buhari voice) that he is saying pry/sec scandals are useless in your quest to presidency.......

[color=royalblue]So if I bring my grandfather with a primary school certificate, and I bring Tinubu without a pry/sch certificate, but has a degree from the USA

You'll pick my grandfather?[/color]

Segedinho:
i no sure say u understand my point here....

yeah.
he attended one of the best school in d world that doesn't care about you fundamental classes.


i think he did attended both pry/sec school...due to the fact that it will definitely reveal his real age......it is better to conceal it.

[color=royalblue]Maybe we should write to Chicago state University so they can present the certificates he used for admission.

It's better than all these unnecessary issues[/color]

donjazet:
Bro, seriously, shut the fvck up if you can't reason properly. You keep talking from all sides of the mouth.

You said you are against Tinubu but you won't even ask the most basic questions about him??
We suspect Tinubu went to primary and secondary school. What we're asking is why he's hiding it?

Why do you think a presidential frontrunner is hiding his primary and secondary school?
Is it for his age? Is it for his original name? Is it to avert questions about childhood and upbringing?

Do you support such opacity when it comes to Public officials? So why shouldn't tough questions be asked?
Again kindly shut the fvck up if you don't know where to perch. Constantly being fairweathered.

[color=royalblue]The minimum requirement to contest is the FSLC.

Someone presented a verified degree that is better than all our Higher institutions. What do you want me to ask?

I don't have any hate against Tinubu. Maybe if I was cursing him everyday, it would make you feel better. But I'm not that guy.

I apply my common sense before my emotions,
even when it hurts [/color]

Segedinho:
in all honesty...i do not understand this.

please Raumdeuter..Izzou Nihilist Donjazet ....can anyone explain this to me??cos i heard one of the virtue of great men is "they read from home"....

Note:Tinubu is just 70yr old....

Banter aside.

[color=royalblue]My brother, there are points that are just plain useless.

Maybe you guys bring it up to troll, but they don't make sense to be. I apologise if this sounds offensive

A man has a degree from Chicago state University, and you're asking for Primary and Secondary school certificate?

Omo, bros...E get wetin we no suppose dey bring up [/color]

Android22:
I thought Akapbio and co had their issues resolved recently?

I am asking for citation because I don't see how that electoral law makes any sense tbh. It still can't explain why Wike is angry at Atiku as well if he knew Atiku was handicapped by the law.

https://www.nairaland.com/7272745/inec-denies-recognising-lawan-akpabio

[color=royalblue]Wike is angry with Atiku because he believes power should shift to the South.

Wike never wanted any VP slot. All he was fighting for is that the ticket should be zoned to the South.

That's his annoyance[/color]

Segedinho:
my get power to fight

I am telling you that your assumption,my assumption and the next person's assumption could be false and can easliy be discarded as propaganda....


[b]He left cos he left....[/b

[color=royalblue]Yeah

3 days to the PDP primaries.
[/color]

Segedinho:
He left cos he left......what you think is just ur way of disturbing your brain.


you can assume from today till next year and it could all be false.....


He left and has got many supporters ..so it is a calculated risk that has yielded result...

[color=royalblue]I never said it wasn't

I said it even paid off..

Relax, my oga. We no dey fight[/color]

Theflint1:
Peter Obi choosing to contest in LP does not mean he wouldn't have preferred to have been PDPs candidate. Of course, the PDP is the bigger party, the party with established structures and the party that would have given him the easiest path to victory in the general elections.

He didn't believe in himself two days to the elections, he believed in himself enough before then, and backed that belief with #40 million.

[color=royalblue]Let's assume he won the PDP ticket.

Who and who would he work with?

These same corrupt people we are slandering?[/color]

Segedinho:
All this are just mere assumptions and can be discarded as propaganda. .



I believe ..he believed in himself and his capabilties wch in all honesty is seen presently .........

[color=royalblue]He believed in himself two days to PDP primary abi?

The same PDP that is corrupt is where our Holy Nweje paid 40 million for ticket.

Suddenly, he believes in himself abi?

You guys believe politicians too much. 8 years later, na still the same story[/color]

kingBolton:
If you can't be VP after contesting the primaries, why was Wike being considered as Atiku's running mate?
Note that I am not disputing you, just want some clarifications.

[color=royalblue]This was the norm actually, not until this law was signed.

Like I said, this was part of the reasons why Atiku picked Okowa instead of him.

[/color]

Android22:
Admittedly, I am hearing about this electoral law for the first time today. Is there a citation for it?

[color=royalblue]I would have to look for it, but I read it somewhere.

It's the reason why people like Akpabio, Umahi and Lawan are having issues[/color]

kingBolton:
Why did he contest for the presidential primaries in the first place?
I think he contested for the primaries when he saw that the VP slot was not on the table again.

[color=royalblue]
He contested the primaries as usual. Even Atiku said he would pick Obi if he wins the primary. So that was already settled.

Like I said, Obi was already comfortable with VP until 3 days to the primaries

He must have realised he can't be VP if he contests, so he resigned and joined any random party to have a chance....And luckily for him, it's paying off.

I don't really think it's about the VP slot, even though it's an option. Atiku already assured him that they would go again [/color]

Emmynator:
Wow, you are really helpless, aren't you?
The only thing that can cure you is definitely Obi getting there and doing what our past presidents have done; get power and become clueless.
Obi left PDP because he saw defeat in primaries, if he didn't, he would have stayed.
Going by your the bolded is Okowa meant to cover Atiku's corruption ridden image too or is Obi the only Saint with redemption power
I can see your whitewashing attempts, and I don't believe it, one has to have a certain level of delusion to believe it.

Finally, like I said sometimes back, not everyone that will vote for Obi will be obidient, I can agree that he is slightly better than the rest (of course that why I decided to vote him), but I will never stand for all this whitewashing BS.

[color=royalblue]I think he left because he wouldn't have been VP if Atiku won.

The electoral law won't allow you to contest for two political positions within one year.

This was part of the reasons why Wike couldn't be picked to deputise Atiku[/color]

[color=royalblue]Seun should fix this antispasm Bot nonsense

GloriousGbola, I saw your mention and I agree.

If person get money, this is the time to position yourself and supply one estate in Lekki[/color]

GloriousGbola:
to reiterate

Power is
generation
transmission
distribution

what has been happening is that power transmission has been centralized basically like police or military

now ekedp does not have to get power from national grid. they can get power from anywhere. from lagos state, from Izzou Power co, who can be within a 20km radius.

the people who may lose are the gencos because now there will be competition to supply the discos.

at the barest minium, it will reduce demand on our transmission infrastructure, which may now become a supplier of civil service states that cannot get local power stations built.

Barth Nnaji can also start to hammer, as i think he also has a power station in enugu.

[color=royalblue]Maybe I'm thinking in another direction

But, we have both identified the Transcos as the major problem.

So with the new bill, anybody generating, has to worry about transmission

And if I can generate and transmit, why don't I just distribute myself?[/color]

GloriousGbola:
this is why this bill may be a real game changer. i think Fashola was trying to push for it in his first term. the bill allows you to bypass the dilapidated transmission infrastructure and supply power to the DISCO directly. but the whole first term was spent fighting bukola saraki the usurper and his gang

Lagos, Incidentally already has at least one such power station in marina.

in 2002, a long distance protection relay was N5 million. there were nepa transmission stations in every state. some states have two or three. there are also power stations [kainji, jebba, egbin] . we were in kainji in late 2003 and i think we installed three, not sure anymore. i am saying there may have been over a hundred to install.

this is only one single component in a very complicated and intricate system . those cables you see on transmission towers are gigantic. rehabilitating this would take billions.

one of the biggest problems with anything govt is inertia. you talked about it when you discussed civil servants. NEPA was more of the same. go in collect your salary, collect your promotion every three years - do absolutely nothing. most of the time when we came into a station to work, was the most action those engineers had seen in years. now take this attitude and carry it all the way to the top. no one is under any real pressure to improve.

we were a private company and the boss had worked in the oyibo companies that put up the tranmission lines in the 80s. the man had been an engineer in private sector all his life. so we worked with drive - even though na one man biz with one man biz wahala.

there is a story of how barth nnaji went to a station and some equipment was offline. the story was the manual is in chinese. this had been the story for years. and the man just touched a few switches here and there and put it on.

the attitude of your guy who came up in govt paraststal is find an excuse and call it a day. of course that is only one part of the problem - the other is a new admin can fk whatever the previous one did. so investors are also wary.

you will be suprised, if the niger bridge is not finished before buharii ends his term and obi wins - it may be abandoned for a project with obis name on it. No be so we dey do?

[color=royalblue]Yes, Lagos state has one of such

My cousin attends King's college, and they always have power (his guardian said). I think it's because they are the next compound after the Court of Appeal

So with this new bill, what's the fate of existing Discos?[/color]

GloriousGbola:
https://www.thecable.ng/senate-passes-electricity-bill-to-address-power-sector-challenges



the real issue with Power in Nigeria is legislation.

the above bill should have been passed years ago.

without this, there is not that much that could be done.

i will spell it out as simply as a i can

Power is generation, transmission and distribution

we have private gencos, transmission managed by FG, and discos

an analogy is the generator in your house as generation
the cable to your distribution board from the gen as transmission
and your distribution board as distribution

the gencos are fine and generating more power than they can sell

tranmission infrastructure dates back to the 60s and upgrading is very slow. especially because it is very expensive. my first job out of uni was in a company working on transmission line protection. we were upgrading their relays from electromechanical to electronic. each relay was 5 million naira . and relays had to be installed in every nepa transmission station. thats was a world bank funded project if i recall

imagine if you will an old, cut and joined, cable from your generator to your DB. constantly failing, constantly being patched. that is our transmission network. which is always having system collape

then the discos, are the part of power everyone knows. they are the ones who power you. thsi has traditionally been teh most corrupt part of power, as they have no competition and they intreface directly with customers

by law, once your are generating above 2mw [if i recall] you have to inject it into the national grid. this si like saying once you have a generator where you live, once you have a gen over 10kva, you must share your power with everybody.

this has severly hampered local power generation. i could say i want to set up a power plant in lagos - but i would have to inject my power into the national grid - the 60 year old transmission infrastructure that is always crashing.

with this law, you can now connect your gen directly to your db,

without thsi law, there is little fashola could have done

technical professionals know when politicians are just talking. Bola ige said the same thing
which is why engineers were just laughing at obis egypt photo op. good enough for laymen - but obvious BS

but the blame for power REALLY is on PDP because, after bola ige failed, obj actually studied the situation, and built several power plants. however the plants needed transformers to evacuate the power, so obj ordered injection transformers.

but they could not be instated during his term. they have been abandoned at the ports all this time, and are now probably rotted.

this is where all the shouting about obj and x billion comes from.

neither yardua, nor gej saw fit to finish what obj had started. they simply abandoned it.

now that anyone can generate power, we will start to see local gencos come on line. EKEDP, IKEDC will not have to rely on allocation from national grid.

effectively, the sector has been liberalised.

however, it will still need investors with deep pockets as returns on power investment can take decades

[color=royalblue]What you said is true.

But then, the onus lies on the government to rehabilitate the TransCo. You as an entry level staff knew the problem, so why should a Minister not know?

That is why I am just looking at Obi as he is running his mouth. When e reach there now, we go hear say Buhari scatter Nigeria kpata kpata, so him need 16 years

The New Bill is quite okay, and also an easy way out for the FG. A very welcome development for everybody. [/color]

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
but agent Fash gave us the impression that they will fix power under 6months...

National grid just dey collapse dey go.. What happened? Care to explain..

[color=royalblue]Yes he did. And I have dragged him for that here.

Let's just stick with facts instead of twisting.

After Barth resigned, the power ministry was in shambles already before APC came on board.

Fashola did not take over from Barth[/color]

donjazet:
I also fell prey to that deceit. God knows how highly I regarded fashola in 2015.
All these people have been tainted badly by the failure of their party.

I sincerely belived that witg fashola taking over from Barth nnaji then, Nigeria's power supply was bound to increase double folds, never would I know that were about to lose half of power generation. From 11000mw to barely 5000mw.
They took us backwards.

[color=royalblue]Fashola did not take over from Barth Nnaji.

The ministry was dead when Fashola came on board

Barth resigned in 2013 or so. PDP was still in power then[/color]

donjazet:
He left APGA due to 2 reasons.
1. Soo much internal wrangling within the party. Just like wike is threatening to do now.

2. He was literally dragged to the PDP. Since his days as governor, he's been wooed there.

The word courageous comes from his decision to leave the PDP and join an unknown party. A party he's been sponsoring himself. You yourself have just said that you would be voting the labor party next year. If not for Obi, would you be voting labor party next year??

Part of obi's appeal is the people's yearning to shift away from the evil duopoly of APC PDP axis. People want something fresh, something new and Obi decided to use himself as a vehicle for change. You've heard people constantly say Obi is not running for the presidency, the youths are running through him.

Is he the one coordinating all these rallies and campaign paraphernalia? Is he not the one urging his followers to tamp down their aggression and his own followers are telling him no?
This movement is bigger than him, that shows you that his decision to leave was indeed courageous. He left a powerful behemoth of a party where he had a chance to be more successful either nationally or at least regionally to move to an unknown party. That is courageous enough.

[color=royalblue]If Obi was not there, I would have voted Atiku. My campaign point is that parties that failed should be changed. Anybody but APC is my goal.

Obi left PDP because he was hinted that Atiku won't pick him, and maybe he had an idea of the New electoral law that may not let him be vice if Atiku chooses him.

If Obi was passionate about Nigeria, and if he had such integrity, he would have gone to Labour even before now. He left barely few days to the PDP and APC primaries

Let's just agree that we welcome this third force.

He's almost the same as them. No difference[/color]
