This has turned to cyber warfare. It seems millitary and its gadgets  will soon become something of the past. Its getting interesting.
As at press time Mastercard can't process. Whoz next?.

Something of the past? Not going to happen. It'll be great if it does though.
It's now battle of brains and wits, 

They are more than that, but you won't go into one with someone you're not happy with .
I suppose it's one of the foundations and catalyst that gets things going,

Beaf:
You need to understand that the ND (or any part of Nigeria for that matter) needs brothers, but certainly not "Big [/b]brothers."

True say true say.
Whether it's the North, South, East ot West, we're all been colonised even though we are independent. We're still been stolen from. The Niger Delta area is not only for the Niger Deltans, but for the whole of Nigeria. When will we open our eyes and together fight against those destroying the area of the nation's main source of wealth?
After all the arguement, what we need is [size=30pt]UNITY[/size]
Without unity, Nigeria will [b][color=Black]never ever[/color] move forward.

Peromnia:
It is with galore of sadness that I write to remonstrate my displeasure at the Moderators penchant for banning people outrageously. It is rueful that people are banned in this site indiscriminately with no reason whatsoever. Being cynical, I see that as pride on their part owing to the avowed notion that this site is the most visited. Or what else can be deduced from the fact that I was banned, asked to send my name to antispam, , which I did but saw no positive results. I urge all of them to retrace their steps because pride goes before a fall. Finally, if it pleases you (the Moderators), see my comments as disparaging or derogatory or better still ban my pal with whose account I am sending this piece. Who Bloody Cares. Balderdash.

I hope you get unbanned.

Chai. Are you from Edo state?(No tribalism or anything. Just curious)

freecocoa:
Bros did you just get back from english/grammer class before posting this?the ban must really be paining you so you decided to bombard the mods wiv grammer,you could have just broken it down in plain english so dat they'll understand you quicker and unban u sharparly,now they'll have to start looking for a dictionary to understand you and that will make them extend the period of the ban.sorry sha i hope they unban u.

Have all you who support privatization given a thought to what will happen to those who cannot pay the new tariff? You all seem to assume that everyone can just find the money to pay. The average monthly rent of a face me room is between 2,000 and 4,000 naira. At present they pay around 100 to 600 naira. Do you think that if this goes up to 3,500 they can pay?

Electricity is an essential that has to be subsidized by the government. If they privatize it, there must be a way to subsidize the cost for the poor. If there is no plan for that, then there should be no privatization.

None of you actually has the interest of the masses at heart. How many poor people have 2 generators?

As if right now those that can afford to pay have electricity to show for it. Are people not spending so much already on diesel, fuel, inverters and all that now?
Besides, if it's privatised, it might be expensive initially, but if there are more than one suppliers in the country, they'll be vying for customers, and that will make them reduce charges to get more customers.

It may be privatised now, after the rail network was built decades ago. It was the govt that built the rail infrastructure, what you are seeing today started many moons ago. Also take note that the train operating company is not the same as the rail infrastructure itself.

Its not a simple as it seems. To have sustainable and long term development we have to think of more than an immediate solution.

Privatising telecomms is not the same as Power , rail or road networks. The govt has to be involved as at a fundamental level. Good governance is the first thing we need to clamour for and demand from our leaders.

The government started it and knew that it was time to privatise when they couldn't keep up the maintenance et al,
There is already the basic infrastructure for electricity and it's been there for years way before I was born and if the state of it is declining rather than advancing, isn't it time for them to admit that they can't handle it and give it to people who are willing to do so?
Isn't it a shame that Camerooun are going to start supplying electricity to the "giants of Africa"

http://thenationonlineng.net/web3/news/20254.html

As you said, good governance is certainly what we should demand from the people we call leaders.

You certainly aren't. Most of my friends think classical/opera is funeral music LMBO. This is modern and kinda appeals to them. I think they're brilllliant. I still love my "real" opera/classical artistes though

Neither. If na official business, we go call taxi now! Why should i disrupt my wife or girlfriends business because i want to get home or to the office.

Secondly, the driver should have called the office to dispatch another car na.

Seriously, i never like to mix business with private runs.

Otherwise, the MD should call his own wife to come and pick us.

There are enough options for us to consider without having to involve my babe.

Thank you jare

My MD will drive the car while me and babe will  sit at the back

LOOOOOOOOOOOL
I like, I like

Firearm:
ROFLMAO

You guys are killing me with laghter here

Your wife/babe usually picks you from the helipad whenever you arrive from this offshore platform
But in this case your MD is coming out with you
and the driver couldnt make the trip
You are going the same direction with your MD!!!
So you cant leave him there.

Who will drive?
Where will your wife/babe sit?
Where will your MD sit?

What kind of trick question is that? I'll tell MD to wait. I'll drop off wifey and then pick him up.

We've not gotten to that level yet to do what the Chilean government did. We're getting there,

AjanleKoko:
Here's an excerpt from W.E. Dubois's essay, 'The Talented Tenth'.

Men of America, the problem is plain before you. Here is a race transplanted through the criminal foolishness of your fathers. Whether you like it or not the millions are here, and here they will remain. If you do not lift them up, they will pull you down. Education and work are the levers to uplift a people. Work alone will not do it unless inspired by the right ideals and guided by intelligence. Education must not simply teach work — it must teach Life. The Talented Tenth of the Negro race must be made leaders of thought and missionaries of culture among their people. No others can do this work and Negro colleges must train men for it. The Negro race, like all other races, is going to be saved by its exceptional men.

The man said it all. We, the educated, and privileged, are the 'Talented Tenth'. If we don't lift up the others, they will definitely pull us down.

We've got the brains to change Africa. We just need the attitude and mentality to actually DO SOMETHING for Africa rather than for self and family only.
If this exceptional men get a chance to get into power or anywhere where change can be made without been hated and when they do get in there, will they change when they see so much power and money and forget their purpose?

Privatisation is not the solution to everything. Somethings are meant for the government to run simply because the cost of building and maintaing fixed infrastructure is enormous. It will kill an average citizen to pay for the cost of such services.
Why do you think there are over 50 Million people in US without healthcare,  why do you think healthcare cost there is killing their budget, because it is semi demi privatised that is why? Somethings must be facilitated by the government. Power is one of it, It doesn't have to be totally run by the goverment, some other aspects can be privatised.

Railway transportation for example. The rails are owned by the goverment in Canada and UK,  the trains and networks can be operated by private companies. Fixed Infrastructure is the govt's business period. If we privatise this,  the gap between rich and poor in nigeria will become extreme, because private companies are there to make money not to protect the massess.

How long has electricity been run by the government? How many time a month or even week have we had constant and stable electricity? From the time I was born till now, NEVER.[size=5pt](I'm not that old by the way )[/size]
Was telecommunication in Nigeria not in a state before it was privatised?
Also, the rail network in England is privatised. Go check it out. Only the NHS is not privatised and maybe some other areas,
Besides, you can't compare the UK and USA with Nigeria. Even though the government is corrupt to a level there, they still have their citizens well being in mind. In Nigeria, does the government give a damn about us? NO!
Lets not decieve ourselves and compare ourselves with other nations that have their government running things. We've got to be real and face the truth. Privatisation is the way forward in circumstances like ours,

This is sooooo interesting and makes my day everytime I read something like this. I guess I'm a rebel
Wish we could rebel like this in Nigeria and teach the "powers that be" lessons.

I wrote that in response to what her mum said not just randomly. That's the whole point of the quote I inserted so people know it's all in reference to what was highlighted. As in if my mum told me I can't be with someone from a different culture, I'll tell her that. Not necessarily because I don't want someone from my culture, but because because been with someone from my culture does not guarantee hapiness(just the way been someone from a different culture does not guarantee hapiness).
Bottom line, whether your partner is from your village or from China, it doesn't matter as long as you're both happy.

^^^^ I said that he were having u cause i was not a type they taught i am (golddigger),i still wanted you

Too much he say I say, So you is not a gold diga eh? Proof

Chai!

Why is you sadding for El G? We does business deal. There be no stringing attach.
Besides, you says to Bookie that he can having me because you don't the "troubleshooting type". Is you confused?
Whys complained now?
Don't be sadding though. I still liking you for expeliments
Enjoyed your singledness

formebyme:
Leave the politics to the politician/government, when you get to that level,you would be shown what you need to know!!
what good would the so called "transparency" be,of what help would the citizens be if they know/have these information,
If you dont know means you dont need to know,

Typical Nigerian "the government knows best" attitude that's killing the country. If I don't know means I'm not meant to know? Are you for real? They steal our money, go to war, commit atrocities and because I'm not in that "level", I should close my eyes and shut my ears? It's my country too. I voted them in. If I don't like what's been done, I should be able to cry out.
If I don't have info, how will all that happen?
Abeg, ignorance na disease o.

So her mum is and I'm not allowed to have mine? . It's alrighty though

tpia1:
seems you're being rather close minded with this statement.

Have you read to see the post I wrote that in reference to? The person said her mum says any relationship with anyone from a different culture won't work(paraphrased).
Of course, I could be happy in a relationship with someone from my culture. Don't try to nit pick and over analyse.

Venezuela has certainly gained. They've found out that US had been trying to get neighbouring nations to isolate her. Is that right?
Besides, it's been said that the leaks are not putting lives in danger. If the US doesn't like anything, they cry foul.

Bookie, go and stealed monies and peace now. I hold your hands? I telling you, I only went with El G to doing expeliment. Expeliment finis, El G finis. Understanded? I AM NOT OLD O. I will bashy your head if you tells me that again.

Bashy, it is not that mush you miss. Don't be fear.

[size=18pt]We Will Resist Privatisation Of Electricity[/size]

Wednesday, 08 December 2010 01:41 Moses John, Abuja



Vice President of Public Service International Africa, (PSI) Comrade Peters Adeyemi has said that privatization of Electricity in Nigeria would not guarantee steady power to households but would rather lead to a regime of tariff increase for the consumers.
http://www.leadershipeditors.com/ns/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=20870:we-will-resist-privatisation-of-electricity-&catid=16:headline-news&Itemid=102

What makes him think it won't guarantee steady power? I think it will. If it's privatised and the company does not supply electricity, you simply stop paying. They lose out. So they'll try as much as possible to provide steady light. Besides, I don't think many people would mind increased tariffs as long as there is constant electricity.
As long as it's still in the hands of the government, they'll have nothing to lose. It'll simpy be another avenue true which more money can be stolen.
Is it not even a shame that we provide electricity to other nations and we don't have it.


He said rather than the planned privatization, government should provide investments needed to stimulate the economy for rapid growth,saying this would impact directly on all households in the country.
What does that have to do with electricity?
How much has the gorvernment already "invested"? What has it yielded? Man should go and sit down with the money he has stolen. Rubbish. Even if new "investments" impact positively on all households, it simply means more people will have money to spend on generators, inverters and whatnot which is not great for the environment.
That is IF any average household gains from it.
PS: What is NLC?

What I find really hmmm is that he is been arrested in the UK and prosecutors are trying to get him to Sweden for a crime that had been dismissed earlier on by a judge. If he's taken to Sweden, I reckon the US may want him extradited and tried for espionage though technically I don't think it's that. They'll have to think of something else to charge him with.  I doubt if he'll even get a fair trial.
As Dan Gillmor said "If journalism can routinely be shut down the way the government wants to do this time, we'll have thrown out free speech in this lawless frenzy."
Let him be. He's a journalist. As far as I'm concerned, he's simply doing his job in bringing "classified" info to light- Prime ministers lying, US not minding their business and I so loved the one about Mervyn king about Cameron and co.
Sick and tired on the US anyway so I'm totally with him. I also think he was uber silly with those women. They clearly wanted to get him and well, they have.
Shame to see how men get screwed up almost all the time by women. Smh.
