this is disheartening, you think good roads is development? who compared lagos to dubai in the first place?

why do graduates run to lagos after nysc to look for job? why does lagos state have a better economy than many african countries? the wealth of uae is very much and they should be like that since they have a small population


bayelsa should be thriving greatly with all it's resources and small population, look at ekiti state, more population than bayelsa but they still beat them in some stats

I never argued against your point about Bayelsa, I too feel the pain of wasted opportunity for the state, but to put Lagos and Dubai in the same breadth, the same league, that can't just be overlooked.

You ask if I think good roads means development, bro, are you for real Lets have great dubai type roads all around Nigeria and see if our development index doesn't rocket up! Will you ask me next if having a great railway means development? or if having constant electricity means development?

Lagos is more developed than Bayelsa, YES! A big YES! However, on a world Level, Lagos is still a freaking SLUM like the rest of NIGERIA.

No false pretense, Lagos could have been like London now, the same way Bayelsa could have been like Lagos at least now, but most, if not all Politicians in Nigeria are corrupt.

In Lagos, you hardly even have common side walks that other countries take for granted, just in a few places like v.i, lekki. Lagos as busy as it is, should have side walks for all the numerous pedestrians like London or Newyork, but alas, they share the same road with cars and some would claim that Lagos is developed

donbachi:
No name or party name...na like dis we wan take be like dubai?pls lead us well.

VOTE SOWORE, AAC and I promise you, OUR NIGERIA WILL BE BRIGHT and BEAUTIFUL

We will be the GIANT OF AFRICA, not just by nomenclature alone but by every good measurable standard.

lol, look how Nigerians just like to deceive themselves. Look how the OP snuck in Lagos next to Dubai, if I hear

Do you have roads like this anywhere in the whole Nigeria

Yes Bayelsa and other SS States should be more developed, their politicians are all theives.

Same can be said with Lagos and the corrupt Tinubu and his cronies. In Lagos what you have is DECADES of Federal Spending and a cumilnation of all Nigerian citizens blood and sweat, along with foreigners.

TruSSSS me, if Lagos was developed, there wouldn't be a single OPEN GUTTER anywhere.

Look at the dubai pic again, do you see gutters anywhere
Do you see how all the lanes are marked, no dull or faded paint.

Nigerians, please for once have some sense and stop deceiving yourselves, mtcheew


If you are developed, you will VOTE OUR APC AND PDP, let us start with that one first, before you start comparing yourself with dubai, mtcheew

Have you ever really sat down to ask your self why this man who should have been ready for governance from day one, took 6 good months to appoint ministers?

Even going as far as to call them "Noise Makers".

I wonder how Fashola and the other ministers feel, knowing they are just "Noise Makers"

You really think Nigeria can move forward with these Analog leaders from our past? Who still want to destroy or future?

NO!

Say NO TO APC AND PDP

jpphilips:
A lot have been said about Buhari, how he brought hardship on Nigerians, how he is responsible for all the suffering in Nigeria, is that theory backed with facts and global economic realities or the shenanigans of few individuals basking in the Euphoria of ignorance?
Since I must make a choice between our present loud political gladiators, I armed myself with Economics textbooks and news archive, here is what i discovered.

...

I hope your choice in NOT APC OR PDP, cause we both know a vote for a either of those two parties is a vote AGAINST the future of Nigeria.

Unless you don't care for a better Nigeria, it seems most Nigerians dont.

Sowore for President

Activist, Entrepreneur, Corruption fighter, Ivy league Educated.

We need to see the Nigeria of our dreams before we die. Since I was young and it was buhari, obj, atiku in power with little to no education, promising us electricity, security, roads... yet failing

Let us NEVER bring them back please.

Listen to SOWORE on YOUTUBE, this man has the zeal, passion and love for country to take this country from grass to grace.

You may say that if you don't vote for APC or PDP that you would have wasted your vote, but I pose to you, that voting for APC or PDP will be the REAL WASTE OF YOUR VOTE, because neither Buhari nor Atiku has what it takes to make Nigeria like the U.S.A, Dubai and so on.

Look at what Dubai was able to do in just 20 years.

I used to complain to one of my friends in Nigeria about naija all the time and the guy got tired of me, every time I start complaining he would just be like "dis guy, abeg"

Then one day he saved up some cash and went to Dubai, his first time travelling outside Nigeria. This guy came back home and started complaining to me about naija even more than I used to complain sef!!

My people, our destiny is in our hands.

Even if you don't have the balls for a real revolution for fear of death, you do have the balls to vote for the right candidate.


Look at the Ganduje bribe video, that money can build solar farms that could power a huge amount of his state and there would be no long lead time needed to construct some elaborate power plant and start looking for gas or fuel to power it. With solar, they could just buy the panels in 2 weeks and install them in under a month and BAM, ELECTRICITY just like that.

SO DON"T LET THEM FOOL YOU THAT IT WOULD TAKE FOREVER TO FIX NIGERIA, WHENEVER THEY TELL YOU THAT, REMEMBER DUBAI DID IT IN RECORD TIME.

OUR COUNTRY CAN WORK

WE CAN ELIMINATE BOKO HARAM, POVERTY, HAVE ELECTRICITY, ONLY IF YOU WOULD VOTE BASED ON ISSUES AND NOT BECAUSE SOMEONE'S VICE IS YORUBA OR IGBO, PLEASE!!

DO IT FOR THOSE THAT HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES TO BOKO HARAM, THEY COULD HAVE HAD A COUNTRY THAT WORKED FOR THEM!

DO IT FOR THOSE THAT POOR AROUND YOU, YOU DESERVE TO LIVE A DECENT LIFE

DO IT FOR YOUR CHILDREN, THEY DESERVE A NIGERIA THEY CAN BE PROUD OF



LET YOUR VOTE BE YOUR REVOLUTION, PLEASE

iamboladee:
This is terrible!

So terrible my brother, imagining what will happen to those young girls

If God gave me super powers right now, i would wipe them all out, baastards

JESUSforgives:
You're with Sowore, right?

I'm with him too, I need a Nigeria that works in my lifetime

I know most people are sad this evening, with the bad news going around.

Now my question is, after time has past and people have forgotten about this, are we still going to vote these same evil politicians that don't care about Nigeria?

How difficult is it to get rid of a boko haram, honestly

The government has access to drones, satellites, internet, communication, jets, helicopters, tanks, limitless ammunition... yet boko haram still exists, WHY

Don't give me an example of how U.S couldn't win in Afghanistan or something, that's cause THAT IS OUTSIDE THE U.S. Do you really think boko haram can ransack even the most remote police station in a Texas village

It's not enough to just type RIP, lets think critically and not vote along party lines.


IT IS TIME TO GET THIS COUNTRY TO WORK, NOW!!!!! THIS IS 2018, WE DON"T HAVE TIME TO WASTE ANYMORE PLEASE!!!

can't we see that we need to take our politics seriously in this country in light of what just happened to Hauwa and what is happening to Leah and other girls still in captivity

as someone said, imagine boko haram existing in U.S, it can't happen. U.S may have a hard time fighting ISIS or rebels in Afghanistan cause it is OUTSIDE THEIR COUNTRY, but you can't just be openly brazen with terrorism in U.S like we have here in Nigeria and expect to get away with it.

How long will it take to end boko haram if we are really serious about it and deploy technology to our advantage, satellites, drones, helicopters, planes, e.t.c

All these APC and PDP politicians just don't care about this country from what we have seen so far

they said they will keep some girls as their slaves, I just almost cried this night

I shouldn't have opened that thread, or maybe I should face the reality that some people are going through a living hell right now.

I offer up prayers to the one and only God who sits on the throne, to console them and give them a way out of their suffering in Jesus mighty name, Amen!!

I never knew miss Hauwa, but I know that she is at the throne of God right now with a smile on her face as God wipes away the tears from her eyes.

God will always wipe away our tears, AMEN!!

Johnnyessence:
yes, it is only the poor muslims people that suffered their consequencies of their acts. governor ganduje hands should be cutting or impeach for his bribery and corruption in kano state.

kai, so you're telling me that people have had their hands cut off for stealing in the north

olujastro:
That's why I'm OK with Ambode being sent packing.

lol, you're so naive

Isn't Tinubu still there

I am quite impressed by this

wait, does north still practice sharia law

Yet you guys will still vote in Atiku or Buhari to continue the suffering

They are not the problem with this country, YOU ARE!!!

see poverty on this thread, chai

I can just imagine the living conditions of all these tribalists on here

abduljabbar4:
At least he didnt spend $16 billion.

How do you expect the owner of mikano to fix your power?

My candidate is Sowore!

How most of you Nigerians look to your past failures in Buhari and Atiku in hopes of solving your future problems is beyond me!

I almost feel like crying for Nigeria with the mentality of most of the citizens campaigning for these politicians when there are better alternatives out right now, only for these same Nigerians to start crying of hardship and asking God why? Same people will start begging, looking for food to eat, looking for good jobs, looking for fuel and diesel for their gens, looking for good hospitals within the country, looking for common National ID card, waiting years to get a drivers license if you don't "square" dem, getting killed by police for bribe, dealing with tanker fires, dealing with bad roads, dealing with low minimum wage that a foreigner earns in a day....


Yet, come election time, they will scream and beg for the same theives and brain dead leaders to come back


Look at common electricity, we have been struggling with this under 4000mw for decades now, yet with highly educated leaders in power, this problem could be solved in a couple of years, but you Nigerians will NEVER allow people that will solve your problems to lead you. Look at that Gandujes bribe video, that money he collected can add 100kw of Solar straight to the grid and the cool thing about that is no gas or fuel would be needed to keep the plant going, yet these same Politicians will tell you that Power can't be fixed easily, how will it be fixed easily when you are always stealing all the money

Nigerians suffering from Stockholm Syndrome

This is the same 3000mw-4000mw we have been struggling with since time immemorial

Yet you guys still want to vote in the same APC or PDP, why can't we try someone else.

Walahi, the heat and mosquitoes are no joke. How can we call ourselves humans in this country with no electricity, this is rubbish

Nigeria’s power sector has struggled to sustain an average daily supply of 3,761 megawatts (MW) within the first nine months of 2018, according to a performance trend data obtained from the office of the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.

The power sector also lost N381 billion during the period under review as a result of high frequency resulting from unavailability of distribution infrastructure, poor gas supplies to generation companies, and water management constraints were the major challenges of the sector.
The data obtained by THISDAY revealed that after the sector achieved a peak power generation of 5,222MW on December 18, 2017, it managed to generate and supply up to 4000MW for only 72 out of the 263 days of 2018.



The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, and electricity distribution companies (Discos) through their umbrella association – the Association of Electricity Distributors of Nigeria (ANED) have persistently disagreed on Nigeria’s power generation and distribution figures.

Fashola has insisted that the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has been making steady progress in electricity generation and distribution.

The minister in August during a retreat of the ministry in Cross River State, stated that power distribution had risen to 5,222MW. He also said it was an all-time national high.

However, THISDAY’s summation of the production and supply figures in the power supply trend, showed that the highest generation and supply mark attained so far in 2018 was 4419.6MW achieved on March 28.

The data analysed also showed that high frequency resulting from unavailability of distribution infrastructure; poor gas supplies to generation companies; and water management constraints were the major challenges of the sector.

It was further discovered that on the average, the sector could not supply up to 2,914MW of electricity to homes and offices in the country due to these constraints. Equally, under the period under consideration, the market had not earned a whooping sum of N381.798 billion due to the various operational constraints it encountered.

According to it, in January, the sector managed to produce and supply an average of 3697MW daily; in February, it did 3937MW; in March, it supplied 4029MW; as well as 3985MW in April.

Continuing, in May, 3,780MW was the average daily energy level the sector could afford to produce and supply, while 3588MW was produced averagely in June. For July, it was 3619MW; 3660MW in August, and then 3,486MW so far in September which has about seven days left to come to an end.

For the unearned revenue, January accounted for N40.419 billion; February was N35.522 billion; March was N36.399 billion; April was N33.175 billion; while June had N48.759 billion. The month of July saw the sector failing to earn N50.082 billion, while August saw it lose the most as N59.976 billion could not be earned. So far in September, it has lost N36.439 billion.

The trend report also indicated that for the period, a total of 182,741 metric million standard cubic feet (mmscuf) of gas was supplied to power generation plants in the sector, thus indicating an average of 20,304 million standard cubic feet per day per month and 654.985mmscf/d.
On the average, the data also showed that four power plants were shutdown mostly on account of gas constraint.

Notwithstanding, a daily operational report of the sector’s performance showed that for instance that on September 21, which is the most recent of its daily reports, average energy sent out was 3,710MW up by 613.5MW from what was delivered the previous day.

It also stated that 1,452.2MW was not generated due to unavailability of gas, while 2,350.3MW was not generated due to high frequency resulting from unavailability of distribution infrastructure.

The power sector, it explained lost an estimated N1.825 billion on September 21, due to insufficient gas supply, distribution infrastructure and transmission infrastructure, just as its dominant constraint for the period remained high frequency resulting from unavailability of distribution infrastructure.

chai!

Each 100 dollar note there can buy 200 watts worth of solar panels from Jumia/Konga right now.

So for every 10k bundle the man received, he could have bought panels of 200watts X 100, that would make 20,000watts or 20KW of Power. I didn't count how many bundles he received, but lets say he received 5 bundles, so that becomes 20KW X 5, that is 100KW of power.

That's how these evil politicians keep stealing the future of our country. Just imagine, 100kw of power stolen just like that.

Just imagine how many 100kw or 1mW or 10MW worth of power/electricity for our people that these politicians have put inside their Agbada.

That's why I say, let's shun APC and PDP and vote in someone like Sowore, cause this country has all it takes to be like yankee almost OVERNIGHT, trust ME, but they will keep telling you "OH, IT TAKES TIME TO DO BLA BLA BLA..."

It doesn't take time to change Nigeria, it just takes the right educated people in power, no party people, not voting because Tinubu of GEJ says so, but voting because you love your country, want the best for your family and children.

Imagine that, is Petrol next?

Where are we headed to

They just flashed it here for 1 hour and took it back, what kind of country is this?

Everyone is forgetting their sorrows because of election jamboree, this country sef

Ever8054:
its only uncivilized people of a region or country that will allow an individual to own them....as for me no smelling politician will ever own my views or destiny....

Amen brother, Amen!!!

It's like now that we are entering the dry season, the light in my area of Lagos has gotten much worse.

Now, if they bring it, it's like 4-6 hours per day

don't we deserve 24/7 electricity in this country in our lifetime

Is this the man that will reduce lekki toll gate fee?

I now pay 200 naira everytime I pass that gate as opposed to 120 before

sometimes i ask myself, what I am paying for

So why don't we give Sowore A Chance to fight for a better Nigeria that all of us can be proud of.

Nothing good can come from recycling these same old politicians, Nigerians please believe me.

With Buhari or Atiku there, 2 past rulers that want to rule again, nothing will change for good in Nigeria.

I don't know about you guys, but I am tired of a bad Nigeria, I want a Nigeria were even U.S citizens will be lining up to get our visa and we all know that those that failed to do it for us in the past can't be expected to do it for us now.

Nukilia:
This was a game of #PoliticalChess! Removal of Jonathan was a national assignment that required that all hands must be on deck.
The removal of Buhari is of national importance at the moment!
The countless lives lost under the so-called ex-coup plotter cannot be underestimated.

The level of injustice extrajudicial killings and flagrant disrespect for the rule of law under the so-called professor of law (PYO) is phenomenal!

The Yoruba's are very objective in their view of politics, and they won't support a PMB-PYO tyranny to continue.

Its time to sheath the swords of attack on the Southeastern folks, and its time the Southeastern folks see other southerners as one.

#TimeUp

What useless national assignment

In 5 years, would Nigeria be any different under Atiku than it is under Buhari? No!

but all you guys care about is winning elections, not moving Nigeria forward.

Whether it's Buhari or Atiku, Nigeria will remain the same shhhhithole in 5 years, mark my words!!
