WHERE IS THE PLAN

i thought i was the only one who heard 40years...igbotic okocha

Imo is ROCHAS
forget the gimmick

how is it tribalism?
if it comes to a contest between you and my brother i ll obviously pick my brother before you, but if it comes to you and a ghanian i ll pick u above the ghanian because i think our interest would be the same. it not tribalism, its all about interest

soldierdollar:
Because we're not practising tribalism

If truly they have such strong presence and population, then why not vote for the APGA candidate Okechukwu Okoroji who is an Igbo man since the votes of the yorubas would be split between Ambo n JK. maybe they can cause an upset n produce the next governor of Lagos.

The very worst type of politician is the Nigerian Senator. they are utterly useless and a gross waste of tax payers money with their outrageous salary and allowances. they are part of the problem we have in this country

Dat babe backside sha!

Ngwakwe:
Is good he asked.

The providers increased tariff for all commercial and corporate consumers by 50% last January.

The companies reported this issue to the regulatory commission including the attendant burden it poses to doing business in Nigeria.

The regulatory commission looked into the matter and invited the service providers on the need to consider the Federal Government drive for industrialization and job creation as to abandon the said increase.

Yesterday, the deal was announced to take effect from March, 2015.

NB: This decision has nothing to do with private consumers.

Are you saying the issues that necessitated the initial increase in January are no longer there?
If they are still there, then what has considerably change to warrant this kind of abrupt reversal? Does it mean that increase was not necessary (exploitative) in the first since they now intend to work with the agreed tariff

framie05:
simply because their won't electricity to enjoy the 50% reduction

it won't be a problem if Nigerians are getting value for what they are paying for

What is there to see in a man that is misguided and is unsure of his policies

toyonnet:
APC! why don't you see something good in this man once. is your candidate an angel that will change this country more than what this man has done? " you only know the important of light wen its night"

And the Desperation continues
I have just heard with that the Federal Government
has reduced electricity tariff by 50%. Great! Much as
this reduction is a welcome development, it has however
left me wondering about some things.
First, I remember that two months ago, specifically in
January this year, the same government increased the
same tariff. The increase was greeted with a nationwide
outcry which prompted the government to give a six
months moratorium to residential consumers. It
however refused to do same for commercial consumers.
Commercial consumers were thus forced to pay the new
tariff with effect from 1st January 2015 despite the wide
outcry about epileptic power supply.
Now my question is what has changed between January
and now to warrant a review, reversal and reduction of
the new tariff regime? Has technical cost of the discos
reduced? Has the Discos accessed more funds through
the credit line guaranteed them by the FGN? As I type
this, the story I read is that the banks through which
the loans would be accessed are still conferring with
government and loans not yet disbursed to the Discos.
So my question is if government did its home work
thoroughly before announcing the increase in January
against resistance from Nigerians, why is it now
reversing itself? Is it now admitting that the increase
was unwarranted in the first place, or is it because of
the coming election?
The second thing that left me wondering is that we had
been told that PHCN had been unbundled and
privatized, thus resulting in the various power Discos
and Gencos. The little I know about privatization is that
government cedes ownership and control of public
enterprises. The privatized enterprises thus become
profit oriented organisations free to determine their
prizes through market forces. On account of national
interest however, deregulation of critical sectors like the
power sector is done in such a way that there is a
"guiding hand" who puts in place a tariff band - a sort
of minimum-maximum tariff chargeable to guarantee
profitability and sustainability as well as affordability by
the people. Within this tariff band, the discos are free to
fix their prices. If that is the case, I am now wondering
what informed this fiat reduction by government. Were
the discos consulted? Did the government carry them
along?
It is not that I do not like paying lower tariffs or that I
like to continue paying high on electricity, which I do not
get anyway, but am just worried that this fiat reduction
might worsen the power situation in the country. I hope
the Discos won't begin to complain of lack of
profitability, thus forcing them to engage in favouritism
and sharp practices. Recently, I learnt that it is possible
for one man to bribe his way to corner electricity supply
meant for a whole community. I hope this tariff
reduction won't exacerbate that corrupt practice?
As for the reason for this dubious gift, any discerning
fellow who has witnessed the ongoing desperation and
paranoia of the government, will not fail to concluded
that this tariff reduction is one more desperate measure
in a bid to secure a re-election by President Jonathan
come March 28, 2015. His government will go down in
history as the one government that has done everything
in and out of the books, known and unknown, moral and
immoral in order to secure a re-election. It ought not to
be so if Mr. President had performed in his first term in
office.

eaglechild:
Buhari has nothing to offer.

He will not be able to make a correct sentence, hence his running away from the catastrophic disgrace that would have befallen him.

We still have the bitter taste of the Channels interview in our mouths.

This is what you get when you push an illiterate to become your flag bearer.

He bails at any challenge that requires the use of intellect.

Jonathan don step up o, na NTA and AIT wan organize debate for am.
Abeg where D'banj?
Better still let's call Christiana Amanpour

You better leave the Clueless One and join the Common Sense Revolution so that Nigeria can be liberated from bad government, mediocrity and corruption

omenka:
This dude has gone senile!! Lmao! So it has come down to what a mere party symbol has to do with development!

Besides, if we are to follow his line of thought, yes I would go with the broom. The vacuum cleaner has a huge disadvantage when it come to getting rid of big particles of dirts like stones, leaves and stems, but is only effective when dealing with particles of dust and sand, which are the only sizes of particles PDP has been able to get rid of under Jonathan (recall all the small time yahoo boys that have been the preocupation of EFCC under Jonathan )!! The Broom can be used to sweep them big dirts away. Such big dirts like Jonathan, Ananih, Sambo, Muazu, NOI, Alison Madueke, Okupe, Abati, Fayose, Asari, Tompolo, Clerk, and Reno himself can only be swept by the broom!


By the way,
I wonder what he would ask Apuga.

And again, is the vacuum cleaner the symbol of PDP??

abeg help me ask am how many Nigerians dey use vaccum cleaner? where the electricity even dey to take use am.
he should have tried to make such analogy for PDP's umbrella. CLUELESS like his boss

Whynotthetruth:
Meaning What's the meaning of the link you sent to me Did you read it at all Who calls a prostitute to deliver lecture on the importance of virginity Does the prostitute have the answer? Why call Buhari to deliver a lecture on democracy? Is he a democrat? Does he have the experience of a democrat? A round peg in a square hole The speech is contradiction of Buhari's person and actions...let him practice those things he wrote...

Check out some points he raised;
1)Asking students to rise and speak out when he, as head of state abolished students unionism...isn't it hypocrisy?

2)Asking the media to report government dealings always...what did he do to media when he was in power? decree 4

3)Accusing government of irresponsible priority by building stadium instead of funding universities... what did he do in that sector as military administrator and head of state

4)Encouraging lecturers and other intellectuals to speak up...what did he do to them when he was in charge remember Tai Solarin?

5)Asking leaders to be both good leaders & good losers too...Is he one? When he lost in 2003,2007,2011...what did he do? Worst still in 2011
Remind him that charity begins at home...let him practice what he says...shikena
Hypocrisy of highest order...

It is often said that 'the taste of the pudding is in the eating'. I cannot tell you how to reason, you are entitled to your opinions but it is within the purview of my rights to disagree with you if i want to.
Some of the the things he did then, he did as a military ruler no doubt. The government of the day was a dictatorship (i want to believe you know what that means) where they rule with decrees and everything is regimented with little or no room for disobedience and the rights of citizens is limited because the constitution is usually suspended. My point is, it is wrong for you to judge him based on that. i cannot begin to give you instances of former military rulers who later became democrats and performed exceedingly well in that capacity.
The essence of the link i sent, was for you to see that the man understands what democracy is about and has actually been practicing it. Ever since he left active service he has been abiding by the tenets of our constitution and has never been found to have contravened any law. As you rightly said, he has contested elections previously and lost (some may say rigged out each time) and as a law abiding citizen he went to court to seek redress as it is expected in a democracy and ever-since he has abide by the fiats and rulings of the courts. How else does a 'democrat' function?
From this particular lecture (the link), you would agree with me that he is a man of ideas who just needs an opportunity to express them and majority of Nigerians have decided to give him the chance this time.
Don't settle for less. you can never know how far you can go until you are tested.
Hypocrisy is not standing up for what you believe in

My take, my opinion...that article was written in 1985 in accordance with the times no doubt these things happened but here is a recent article written by the same author in accordance with our time http://saharareporters.com/2015/01/13/questions-goodluck-and-muhammadu-okey-ndibe
Lets leave the past in the past and look towards the future

so why is this in front page

Have you ask yourself why they are only showing us documents at the time of his application. where are the other documents that comes before/after admission was granted (both from the applicant and the institution). we all know it is acceptable to apply to institutions with 'awaiting result status' but you will be required to show proof before or at the time of admission. I think the army is not been entirely truthful and we all know why

gboss4sure:
Buhari didnt sat for any wasc exam nor does he have any certificate to show us.

I have downloaded all the documents on Premium times, the only thing I could find was a statement from his principal and I quote" I consider that he (Buhari) will pass west African school certificate" He didn't even take the exam talkless of passing. The principal just considered that he will pass.

https://i.imgur.com/cnPhGBT.gif

Apc and Buhari shouldn't take us for fools.

So we should start making use of our principals recommendations instead of our certificates right? APC and Buhari is insulting us. enough is enough. I didn't spend over 15yrs in school studying hard and harder to get all my certificates for an idiott to come and tell me how certificates doesn't matter again. Thunder fire em all there

Whynotthetruth:
Our dear President Goodluck Jonathan has in the course of the life this administration, used and dropped so many words of wisdom; to which we can learn a lot from...It is food for thought for all and worthy of our meditation topics in our quite time...

1)MY AMBITION IS NOT WORTH THE BLOOD OF ANY NIGERIAN... GEJ

2)DEMOCRACY CALLS FOR SACRIFICE AND TOLERANCE, AN OPEN EAR AND A STRONG VOICE...GEJ

3)CYNICISM AND SCEPTICISM WILL NOT HELP OUR JOURNEY TO GREATNESS. LET US BELIEVE IN A NEW NIGERIA...GEJ

4)I PREFER TO SEE THE SILVER LINING IN A DARK CLOUD RATHER THE DARK CLOUD IN A SILVER LINING... GEJ

5)WE ARE NOT SWORN ENEMIES... WE'RE NEIGHBORS WHO SOMETIMES OFFEND EACH OTHER BUT CAN ALWAYS SIT DOWN TO TALK OVER OUR DIFFERENCES...GEJ

6)OUR FOUNDING FATHERS...DID NOT DREAM OF A COUNTRY WHERE NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS WOULD EXCHANGE BULLETS IN PLACE OF HANDSHAKES...GEJ

7)GOD IS A GOD OF DIVERSITY. GOD CREATED A DIVERSE WORLD FOR HIS OWN PURPOSE. WHAT WILL THE WORLD LOOK LIKE IF ALL OF US WERE OF THE SAME HEIGHT, COLOUR, GENDER, NATIONALITY AND ETHNICITY? I THINK IT WILL BE BORING...GEJ

I HAVE COME TO LAUNCH A CAMPAIGN OF IDEAS, NOT ONE OF CALUMNY. I HAVE TO COME TO PREACH LOVE, NOT HATE. I HAVE COME TO BREAK YOU AWAY FROM DIVISIVE TENDENCIES OF THE PAST WHICH HAVE SLOWED OUR DRIVE TO TRUE NATIONHOOD. I HAVE NO ENEMIES TO FIGHT. YOU ARE ALL MY FRIENDS AND WE SHARE A COMMON DESTINY...GEJ

9)IN PRESENTING MYSELF FOR SERVICE, I MAKE NO PRETENCE THAT I HAVE A MAGIC WAND THAT WILL SOLVE ALL OF NIGERIA'S PROBLEMS OR THAT I AM THE MOST INTELLIGENT NIGERIAN... GEJ

10)ANY SOCIETY OR COUNTRY THAT CLOSES THE VITAL VALVES OF ITS DEMOCRATIC SPACE CANNOT DEVELOP AT A REASONABLE PACE...GEJ

There are so many more to add...but let me allow others to contribute before I continue again...
God bless Our President...
God bless us Citizens...
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria...

Please educate yourself. Read this lecture delivered by Gen. bBuhari...http://www.waado.org/nigerdelta/essays/politics/Buhari.html

why is this not on front page

“This generation of Nigerians and indeed the future generation have no country other than Nigeria, we shall stay and salvage it together!”
― Gen. Muhammadu Buhari

Between, lady picture looks kind off funny.

I am very pleased with the conduct of the APC governorship primaries all across the country. Nigerians can still dream of a better country

capricun:
PDP breeding thugs since 1999.
Wike super thug, Fayose Doro super thug, Omisore super mega thugs and Akpabio Don Dorobucchi thug.

And the President who is the head of the PDP can't call the mofos to order.

I won't be surprised if nyes wike wins the PDP primary in the state and contest for the Governorship election after all they have presented the likes of fayose, omisore, and even alao akala for elections. Certified thugs n thieves
