danjohn: In 1993, SDP ran MKO Abiola and Baba Gana Kingibe for President and VP and they were both Muslims but they won the South decisively. The point I am making is that Southerners are not afraid of voting for Muslims. Fashola and Shekarau are mainstream personalities that can win the votes of Christians.in 1993, the quality of education in Nigeria was higher, we didn't have this populace of nitwits and educated illiterates wearing the camouflage of religious bigotry, yes!! it worked in 1993, but that Nigeria is long gone. |
mko abiola: No matter what.why not? afterall, you are not the one talking,its the contract to supply kitchen utensils in Aso rock that is speaking through you |
razznaija: I have actually met her in person when her husband was the deputy governor in Bayelsa state, i even went to the dedication ceremony of her son, i had to spend some time with her to actually like her, my mum went to the same secondary school with her.it seems this incoherence is regional, please ask your neighbor what this post of yours had to do with the thread. |

author=jmaine]JP Philips Quotes Really ? He met a weak grid system,dilapidated power stations supplying just over 2,800MW supplied to the populace ,Some power station's had no plan in place to supply gas needed to power them e.t.cpoint of correction, he met a blueprint laid down by his predecessor considered it genius and went ahead to continue from where his predecessor stopped. in that blue print, before the NIPP was born already 2 power stations has been commissioned while the third was near completion, after the inauguration of the NIPP, between 2003 and 2006 NIPP was no longer a dream, about 30% of the plants have seen almost 70% progress while others managed through their rigorous challenges and corruption. Nevertheless, the NIPP made more progress in three years than your master's 3yrs power reform(acting presidency inclusive)considering the fact that the big jobs have been done already. let us use Geregu power plant as a focal point, OBJ designed that Geregu should fire 4 turbines of an ave of 120mw, by 2007, Obj has commissioned turbine 0ne with one twenty something mega watts, now the issue of gas line became a challenge before obj left. now, i was expecting your master as an achiever to be telling us that he has completed turbine two and fixed the gas challenge of 2007. that would have thrown in almost 250mw to the grid, but as usual, he went and fixed the gas network and ran to the press after three years of non meritorious service. i don't know about you but it takes more than changing diapers to convince me that you are making progress. As far as im concerned, Geregu is still at 2007, when the next turbine fires, then i will give kudos to who deserves it Simply put, The cost reflective pricing is simply a regime whereby the producers of gas can sell it at a rate which covers cost of production and also leaves margin for profits . .unlike the flat rate of 80 cents PHCN were paying under the guise of " It's a national asset"Fixed I am glad you answered the question, in your response you alleged that the present price fixing regime is not in the interest of the investors (gas owners) therefore the federal govt has to deregulate and extort Nigerians at their convenience. may I quickly remind you that the Nigerian Govt through the NNPC/NGC as its subsidiary under the Mineral oil act that enthroned NGC clearly stipulates that Nigeria is supposed to be a whole gas owner unlike your model where we need to sweat to please the Gas owners, are you aware? does it not bother you that your lord and master totally ignored the next phase in the NIPP initiative which is Gas ownership and within the 3yrs has only succeeded in giving in to the outrageous demands of the investors rather than the demands of the Nigerian people who democratically enthroned this Government. i have another question for you, don't you think that the Gas gathering project could have been the second big thing in the NIPP initiative? today, the same investors squeezing you dry are constructing another LNG at Brass while your Govt sits cap in hand as if they did not learn any lesson from the Bonny LNG saga. personally, i feel sorry for people like you who are never ashamed to eulogize the quick fixes of this inept Govt without any trepidation for the future of this country. Since obasanjo has initiated the NIPP and gas supply was a major challenge, i expected a sane administration to have thought of a permanent solution to the problem not necessarily the quick fix of enriching the gas owners at the expense of the Nigerian people. Needless to remind you that through the Indigenisation exercise, very soon, only cronies of this administration will be benefiting in this largesse while the masses remain in perpetual agony. young man, we are not talking about domestic gas supply here, we are talking about a critical economic infrastructure of the state and you see nothing wrong with that? we witnessed recently in times of intense sanctions from international bodies, we have seen where the west influences the investors who are directly tied to Iran's critical infrastructures and you sit to tell me that this abysmal administration did us a favor ![]() here is a quote from the link you supplied to buttress your point The result is a terrible gas flaring situation in Nigeria. Also, consequently, the local gas processing and transmission infrastructure did not develop at all.by the above quote of yours, it is obvious you have not seen that this Govt is the reason we are cap in hand. the bold part of that quote clearly emphasizes that the Govt has failed in local gas processing. this boils down to the AGG program i referred to above, reading your posts tells me that you are just a noise maker being fed a lot of Govt propaganda, the Govt refuses to develop local gas processing through AGG's which their foreign JV partners do on daily basis under their nose, when the gas flows, your Govt goes cap in hand begging them for gas, brother, you have no shame. this same JV partners, flare off our gas to the tune of $2.3bn annually yet you think it is commendable to pay them more for the ones they managed to harness? here is the biggest irony, sometime ago, The FG came up with the idea of charging them $10 per cf of flared gas, same FG is liable to 60% of the total sum, in other words, you please the man that destroy your house more than the tenants you have on rent. that excludes the intense pollution and environmental degradation associated with the process. brother, it takes madness or ignorance for one not to see the mesh-mesh of this administration. At this stage of our democracy, we still have people like you who pontificate the faucet origo of an administration whose action has proved beyond reasonable doubt that they lack the ingenuity to bring about the most desired change, it is pitiably abysmal. like i said above, 3yrs is enough for the Jonathan's administration to come up with a gas blue print to compliment the NIPP through AGG's, signing a cost "reflective pricing scheme with foreigners", is ill thought, sardonic and absolutely nothing to take praises for. if it was a short term thing, i expect by now that this administration should have launched a blue print on what the long run will be, so far, i have seen nothing. make no mistakes, robbing peter to pay paul is no solution but an onerous lack of initiative. You are simply a very confused lad . . . .In one stead you accused Elumelu of fraudulently indicting the contractors because he was not bribed and in another you stead you practically Worshipped OBJ who was the accused with the allegation your propping up hereOK, i don't expect your comprehension IQ to be superb, i will help you. outside the compromised report of Elumelu, whose cynical agenda was not in doubt, there were other reports that clearly exposed high level of corruption in the NIPP scheme, ranging from contract inflation to kick backs. please if this info is new to you, play around Google and you will get all the answers you need. this corruption in the end wasn't really affecting the projects that much but it was bleeding the nation dry. A similar example is the trans-amadi IPP which cost the Rivers state Govt under the tutelage of Native Dr Peter odili a whooping sum of $6bn for a less than 50MW gas turbine project, such power infrastructure at that cost has never been replicated in any part of the world. its relevance to this issue is the fact that you declared above that this present administration does not have the resources to pursue something as big as the NIPP and i said its a fabricated fallacy. the money stolen from the NIPP alone is enough to complete not just the second phase but the third phase as well, if i tell you the cost of Egbin upgrade and oloronshogo partnership with the chinese, you will weep for this country. Any sane Nigerian expects that 3yrs gone, a serious administration would launch an inquiry to identify the people that strangulated the economy not just bringing them to justice but recover the loot as well, other than coming to tell us there are no resources. if that is not weakness, cowardice and callous on the part of this administration, i wonder what is. You are here wasting your time while the power sector reforms are vigorously been pursued with noticeable improvement in power supply across Nigerialike i said previously, when your lord and master commences real power reforms, you will be the first to know I will no longer respond to your posts until you quote that part of the PIB that addressed the above gas challenge. |

author=jmaine Who said you were a baby or a politician . .Your perspective is subjective to your believe system . .Your perspective can not apply to all . . .We all seek to keep the records straight despite the side we chose . . . .Did i hear you say you are keeping your records straight? if you ever did that, you wont put "jonathan" and "power" in the same sentence. They are simply informing folks progress and development in the nation power generating capacity . . .Is it a crime to informs folks about the current development and progress been recorded in the power sector . .i didn't see any since Nnaji left please enlighten us if you are privy to some information Irrelevant and vague proclamations won't help you on your quest today . . .Your attempt to water down the advantage and usefulness of the gas prizing regime exposes your insincerity . . .please tell us three advantages of the new pricing and the beneficiaries so that your audience will appreciate how it affects the man on the street, since you think i am down playing it Yes Nigeria is more of gas than Oil and the gas flaring is an embarassing tale. Especially it's potential to jump start various facets of the economy if adequately harnessedAre you giving us facts or are you just typing out of boredom? i ask you again, what is the ratiocination behind flaring away your gas to the tune of $2.3bn annually while on the other hand, you quickly go and sign a bizarre MOU with gas supply companies (mainly your cronies), so bad that the citizens who have endured for long in darkness now need Govt subsidy to enjoy electricity? in clear terms, explain it to your audience the wisdom in that. please don't forget to quickly quote that part of the PIB that you claim will address that bizarre ingenuity of your lord and master. Your problem is that you swore an oath of secrecy to irrelevantly criticize any thing the FG does . . It's irritating . . . . . . .I will admit that as my problem if you will admit i swore that oath in your shrine. Dude, we don't have huge such huge resources to plunge wholeheartedly into the power sector, moreso after the upheaval pertaining to the amount OBJ sunk into that venture alreadywhen you say "we" who exactly are you referring to? because the last time i checked, two official probe panels have released their reports on the running of the NIPP and massive frauds to the tune of billions of dollars has been perpetrated through contract inflation and kick backs. did this sorry situation lead you to speak on behalf of a commander in chief to admit he doesn't have resources? someone who wields the cohesive apparatus of state and all its apparatchik? someone who sang with the two compasses of his mouth that he is leading the fight on corruption? and we have to accept our fate that some untouchables has made away with the money and the lettuce master of yours folds arm and watches? unfortunately, someone who was perceived as the messiah, someone who the masses believed will trigger the cataclysmic whirlpool that will catapult them to glory, in his massive failure has declared that his "fresh air programme" has capitulated to the blows of this heavy monster called corruption. IT IS A SHAME No one gives a shyte if your the sole contractor handling the entire NIPPs project . . .Doesn't matter when plain facts are strenuousness downplayed out of personal sentimentsI may not have an immediate answer to this comment of yours, however, laptop number 6 is free to make an input Okay Sir, i have no objection to that . . .At least i have woken up to the reality that your master and crew have no idea how to solve the electricity imbroglio of this great Nation, the only crew member that had the idea has been ousted. i think that every sincere Nigerian should be mourning for this Nation, for the present crop of leaders piloting its affairs. |
jmaine: Whatever you chose to say does not in any way invalidates GEJ efforts in revamping the power sector . . .Barth or No Barth . . .the reforms are going on . . . So what's the stress . . . . i am not a baby neither am i a politician, what i owe this audience is to put things in the right perspective. is it a crime for Jonathan to announce to Nigerians that he has fixed the gas challenge of Geregu? why is he sounding like Geregu is his baby? obasanjo held Gregu to a structure that will fire 434mw in the long run, he succeeded in firing 1 turbine with challenges and your man didn't add a pin but to reroute the gas supply channel and sign MOU to spin money for gas companies and his cronies in the name of "cost reflective tariff". are you aware that Nigeria flares $2.3bn worth of gas annually yet the gas tariff today is such that 2013 budget reflects subsidy for electricity, where is the wisdom?? thanks to the mad MOU your boss signed. don't we have enough problems in this country already to create more? did you hear the mega AGG project exxon and NNPC are executing in QIT? where flared gases can fire turbines to a whooping tune of 500mw? you wont hear such news, you cant phantom such ground breaking ideas, your problem is to clap for every far!t that comes from Aso rock. why cant the jonathan's administration come up with another ground breaking scheme to compliment the NIPP? is it a crime? haven't we spent enough money to enjoy steady electricity in this Nation?? make no mistakes, i am too close to the NIPP to know what every body does and when, i cannot be swayed by media propaganda from confusionists like Gen Buhari. for now, my ""Dobale"" goes to the Chief Gen olusegun Obasanjo (Nigerian president; 1999-2007) when Jonathan wakes up in the power sector, you will be the first to know. |
jmaine: People feel it's wisdom for Obj to have built power plants without cogent provisions and plans for gas supply needed to power them ..na talk be that ?i don't know if you are from Zimbabwe, Geregu power plant that i know was commissioned in 2007, it fired for a while and stopped due to gas challenges, in 2007 was the year obasanjo left office, he didn't even have the time to fix the problem, then came yaradua who elumelu deceived that the scheme was a scam because he was looking for kick backs, yaradua eventually stalled the scheme. prof bart Nnaji did a quick review and saw the strategic relevance of the project and advised Jonathan to revisit which he obliged, today, the gas issue has been solved and turbine one has come on stream remaining turbine 2 to 4 (meaning that jonathan did not add anything to what obasanjo left in 2007) let us be guided accordingly, the project has been commissioned since 2007, if i am to praise the actors, should i praise the man who thought about it, funded, constructed and commissioned it OR the man who addressed a challenge in his work, who should take the credit, gentlemen, Jonathan is doing a great dis service to this nation, believe me, if NNaji had continued, He could have come up with a grand plan that will glorify the Jonathan's administration in the power sector. |
Demdem: OBJ wasted time before he commenced work on NIPP. he unfortunately had other priorities. The NIPP didnt commence until 2003 and not 1999 when he became President. so its wrong for peeps to give an impression that OBJ sat on NIPP for 8yrs. thats simply not true.point of correction, there has been power spending from 1999 however, the NIPP was inaugurated in 2003. most of the projects that were funded before the NIPP are equally referred to as NIPP projects an example is the AES barge project in egbin which was completed in 2001,firing about 270mw, funding was released around 99 or so, but today we include AES as part of the NIPP, this is so because the NIPP master plan not only covered generation plants but also distribution and upgrade for existing ones. |
jmaine: What was Yar Adua probing in the power sector and what was his main reason for stalling an on going project of this magnitude for years before his demise . . . .yaradua saw a massive corruption in the scheme but not unreluctant to fund it, he just wanted a clearer picture and know where he will tie his interests as new head of state since OBJ has left. at the time, the elumelu panel was constituted and elumelu went to the site, saw work in progress (though not without challenges)but demanded for bribe from the contractors, when they refused, he released a report claiming that nothing was on ground. Yaradua then halted the scheme temporarily. the Contractors fought back by releasing their different challenges which another committee was set up to address them, towards the demise of yaradua, the projects kicked off again. Take for example, when elumelu got to one of those sites, the base structures have all been done but the turbine couldn't be installed cos the reinforcement on a cross bridge could not support the weight of both the turbine and flat beds,as calculated by the structural engineers hired by the contractor. faced with that, the contractor applied for a contract variation to accommodate the structural reinforcement of the bridge so the turbine can pass of course, that wasn't part of their initial contract. the contractor pleaded with him to personally take him with his entourage across the river to see the turbine which he declined on safety grounds. he went ahead in the report to claim that the contractor has squandered the money given to him to purchase the turbine, meanwhile the turbine was already in Nigeria. the customs didn't help matters at the time, there was a time a lot of refinery accessories and NIPP equipments imported in the country were confiscated and Auctioned by the customs, the reason behind that and whether the FG was aware remains unclear till date. funding; some of the contractors were owed for a long period and most of their project assets were confiscated by banks in a bid to recover their money. i believe that a cumulative of all those challenges has poised yaradua to stall the projects at the time. |
tunalism: GEJ has really done an onerous nd breathtaking jobs when it comes to the power sector transformation agenda. I said this becos I have seen improvements in my area since the past one mnth. So, let's give it up to the man. More power toGet yourselves a pair of glasses before you go blind, the fact that electricity improved in your hood may not be GEJ's doing, it might be an Alaye who removed a fuse from your transformer or the transformer being bad. OBJ just like chukwuma soludo, sat thought and came up with the banger NIPP, strategically located to reflect source of raw material and capacity oriented to reflect population of a particular area. OBJ funded it in part before he left, the same GEJ you want to give credit to cannot even get credible people to run its administration, from an erudite Nnaji to a vacant padi padi office, is that what you term an achievement? Ok, since OBJ has come out with the grand plan of improving electricity generation, is it a crime for jona to come up with a grand plan for distribution as well?, so that people like me can as well give him his due credits. to even sell (aka privatize) the ones built for him is a problem, from Manitoba winning bid to manitoba not winning to Nest oil a servicing company who has constructed pipelines all their lives winning discos, if you cant see jonathan's confusion in the power sector then im afraid you need more than glasses. |
jmaine: Bros, read the article again slowly and gain indepth understanding . . . .he was simply referring to the current on stream NIPP's generating capacities and not the entire power generating stationsI totally agree with you that Egbin project was not an NIPP project, however, the NIPP has a contract for an infrastructural upgrade for Egbin. the upgrade guaranteed that Egbin fires at 1,320mw for the six 220mw installed turbines. |
duality: I still don't understand this. I know Geregu to have an installed capacity of 414 mw.(gt1, gt 2 and gt3) although geregu operates as an island, it has its own challenges hence, it has never worked at installed capacity nor was it connected to the grid. however a phase 2 of the project was proposed.gregu was planned to have a total installed capacity of 4 gas turbines firing a total of 434mw, however only the first phase has been completed which is the turbine one and gas supply infrastructures, that alone delivers 134mw, subsequently as other turbines come on stream, 434mw can be achieved. |
Demdem: Again, i salute the OBJ admin for initiating and commencing this projectThank you for recognizing that NIPP was OBJ's brain child and he is the reason we are close to having steady electricity. during my tour of the NIPP i knew this day will come, not long ago, i visited yaba left to send relief materials to the inmates, i ran into a desperate man called Gen Buhari. he told me that OBJ embezzled all the NIPP funds without a single block on the ground. all efforts to convince him otherwise with proofs of the ones ive seen myself proved abortive. excerpts our discussion.

Nigerian ladies go to parties to sit and booze their lives away while the guys troop in to social events in insane numbers just to go home the same way they stup!!dly came. An average Nigerian lady doesnt know exactly what to answer a man who says hello conversely, the ave. Naija man doesnt know how to create the right ambience to throw the hello. i just feel so sorry for them, just go through your chat log, there are no conversations, no debates, no arguements just question and answer sessions or petti gossips. the moment the guy stops asking questions, conversation is over. damn!! Nigerians are socially marooned. |
