Olasco93:
The Government has her reasons, just as we have ours individually. They just need to put the right things in place before taking this step.

Are you minding daft idiots that fills this forum. Many of the lots called "Yoots" are jobless, daft and lazy. They cannot see the impact of the "fleecing" of our potential to South Africa for starters.

You go shoot a musical video abroad = virtually everything (camera, backroom staff, content development, studio, hotels, drinks, food etc) all goes to another country's economy. Many of you lots are insulting the FG that is trying to "repatriate" your lost potential jobs and future back to you

Right there in Tinapa in Calabar, we are supposed to film village which should house all the sophisticated equipments and facilities in the world. When are we going to resurrect the film schools and villages in Jos (of the famed 80s-90s). Many should ask themselves, do we really have a film and entertainment industry commensurate with the volume of our movies and music out there? Despite coming close 3rd after America and India, can we compare our film and music industry to theirs, even in terms of potential to catchup.

Because Charly boy decides to be daft and selfish means all of them should follow him? The social media is indeed a medium where stup.id.ity is democratised

I truly thought, this was a debate with at lease someone with common sense; but I can see that you are dummer than a door nail.

Another synonym for guidelines is laws or rules, use google, if you can find your way around it.

Laws are met to restrict, think of anything the executives does e.g. Set school curriculum, run schools, run Airports, sign treaties, etc...the Legislators are vested with powers to make laws either to restrict, clarifies, limits, guide, etc them as they execute these functions.

I wan never going to have a debate with you. I have debates with people of a certain level of IQ as demonstrated by the rationale behind their posts. That level of IQ you're totally below......so thinking it was a debate is you getting ahead of yourself

I don't think some peeps really understand what's going on here. Capital oil didn't deny selling off the products belonging to the NNPC but did so in accordance with the law.
This law enables one to sell off the products/goods stored in one's depot when the 2nd party defaults on rent payment.

NNPC should pay him his rent and stop intimidating the young man.

Some of you have corrupted and depraved minds, that you will seek to glorify corruption under any guise. So this is your "according to the law" interpretation

Nkem Obi told the committee that prior to the diversion of the petroleum products by Chief Ubah, NNPC had an agreement with Capital Oil that no party is to tamper with any petroleum products consignment in its custody without the knowledge of the other party.
He said that upon discovering that Capital Oil had diverted the petroleum products in its custody, the corporation reached out to relevant and sister agencies to help in the recovery of the diverted products.

sean1000x:
Afonjas...all they do is wail and wail from morning to night about Igbos. Igbos is their nightmare.

Ask yourself why is he paying only 2billion out of 11 billion? It's called "settlement" reached by both parties. Doesn't mean either one is guilty. Sometimes, people just want to move on from situations like this from dragging on, they just settle and move on.

See the new low our children have sunk into. What values were you raised with?

Study your map...

Wikipedia? Lol. Efik are now ibo people bah?

@baddooboys,

You were having an argument that was getting off to be somewhat stimulating till you messed it up and quoted Wikipedia? Is Wikipedia an academic or an accredited reference or literature of any sort?

always rushing to argue trash....
Fashola is not working on any bridge,..he is more concerned about Lagos Ibadan express way....
Fashola uses 2nd Niger bridge to deceive himself not Igbos...
did you read the part that said that about 12billion was voted for that project last year...but no kobo was spent on it...
He used the money to fund Lagos Ibadan express way...
Fashola is a tribalistic bigot, that is not suppose to handle any tin in the central govt.

Who else thinks this thing is a robot?

That will be an insult to robots. I believe the "thing" is a waste of space

ElSherriff:
Hahahahah, at last you will now know me. I am currently a Secretary to a Local Government having been elected a councillor on the books of the APC. And yes, I am 32 Years old. Next time you want youths in leadership ask me. Yes this is an alter account!
Enjoy your joblessness and continuous acceptance of small things!

Local govt Sec? Yet you display such sub-par intellect?You need to work on your conduct, comprehension and learning else like I earlier stated

...or the little stride you make in leadership you will loose it fast

linearity:
This is one childish post from you and if you are mature enough, I believe you know it...

Part II, Section 5.1(a) & (b) of the Nigeria Constitution states:

"5.1 Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the Executive powers of the federation:

(a) shall be vested in the President and may subject as aforesaid and to the provisions of any law made by the National Assembly, be exercised by him either directly or through the Vice-President and Ministers of the Government of the Federation or officers in the public service of the federation; and

(b) shall extend to the execution and maintenance of this Constitution, all laws made by the National Assembly and to all matters with respect to which the National Assembly has, for the time being, power to make laws.

From the above, it is clear to any one with common sense that, the Legislators made laws that the Executive must follow/execute and they can amend those laws thereafter to either expand, limit, restrict, modify, etc what the executive must then follow/execute.

......and when you relate the section of the constitution you quoted, it tells you that the National Assemblies have powers to give "executive guidelines" and to "make laws that restrict what the executive does"? How do some of you lot process?

ElSherriff:
Why the hell do you all think its a very very smart idea to sell electricity to these countries as a 'guarantee'? It is way cheaper for them to buy generated electricity than building their dams, so we already have an upper hand. It is already a stress on our National output since we never even have enough to sustain 18 hours nonstop.

Kainji Dam was completed in the 60s with capacity to provide less than 1500mw of electricity, what efforts have we made since then to improve our power generation capacity? for the countries in the world that have stable electricity without the 'pressure' of river Niger how exactly have they done it?

And yes, do not let no one fool you. There are artificial technologies. google pumped water storage and what the swiss have done. Also, try and study the artificial dams of the world and see what Nigeria can do once and for all. Now Kainji Dam was built with less than 300m USD, Switzerland has returned close to a billion USD of stolen funds to Nigeria.

I wont even bother going into details of exactly how Nigeria can begin to utilize whatever she has of the Niger River when Lords Benin and Niger decide to 'cut off' their sections of the Niger River. You know why? Cos Nigerians are gullible, they have accepted mediocrity and can kill to justify it.

The next time you wanna quote me, show so decorum.

https://qz.com/706832/new-turbines-have-upgraded-a-hydroelectric-dam-in-the-swiss-alps-to-a-nuke-sized-battery/

These are more serious countries. If you are ready to swallow poo and not daring, I am not.

It is a share waste of my time to continue to engage you in needless explanation to assuage your ignorace. In fact it is no brainer why some of you yoots are not in leadership, will either not make it to leadership or the little stride you make in leadership you will loose it fast.

deomelo:

Mcreloaded: :

No wonder Nigerians are suffering. We have a very poor thinking government. A government that doesn't care for its people. Do you think if Aso rock depended on that current its giving out, it will continue to give it out? But because its Nigerians that need it right?

Hey listen if Benin or Niger should decide to dam their own part of the five to generate their own electricity then kainji dam will cease to exist as it won't have enough water to turn the turbines generation electricity yo Nigerians.
So in other words they are doing Nigeria a favour after all they are paying for the electricity though I expect our Nigerian government to re negotiate the MW they will sell to them so we can have more light time

How do you reconcile both highlights?

They are poor thinking and at the same time did the right thing to make sure our turbines doesn't cease to exist.

Are you confused or just talking from both sides of your mouth.?

Shame!

Saliman22:
I pity some of the Nigerians that don't know this, I am a PDP member, my problem now is that Nigerian don't have geography student again, this I was taught in my ss1 the reason Nigeria do give them light, in case benin rep. Contrust their dam, the flow of water to kaiji dam will be reduce and as such the turban will not turn to generate good electricity, the speed of water is high in this their country and is the same force Nigerian is using on kaiji, I just want us to learn, I thought we wanted to asked him the reason we cannot have same light here. Thank u

The problem is students hardly read their books.....when it is not facebook, Instagram or NL

jieta:

leathalbeast: :
your assertion is wack because nigeria doesnt sell power to ghana. never repeat that ignorant comment anywhere again.

you think so, maybe you should read about the power station in sapele delta state.

Olodumare o!!!!!!! Where did they get this bush ignoramus from Power Station at Sapele? supplying power to Ghana?

What dumb research did you do to arrive at something that turns logic on its head. First off why will we even consider supplying Ghana power, when they are not our immediate neighours. Secondly....Sapele to Ghana, Haba! have you considered the infrastructure that will be commited to such useless venture?

Abeg Mods, is there a kindergarten section on NL? This guy needs to be restricted to the place

linearity:
Simple civic lessons in primary school enumerated all these.

The Executive branch oversees the implementation of the laws of the land, the legislators make those laws.

The Ministry of Education and the bodies of laws by which it functions was not established by the Constitution, but by an Act of the Legislators; after that Act is signed, it became law and governors how the executive branch of government oversees the ministry of Education. The Executive have a leeway in promogatings rules, guidelines, etc for the day to day running of that ministry as long as those rules & guidelines don't violate the original Act that gave the Ministry it's powers and legality.

Now, the Legislators can go back and amend that Act to further clarify, Add, substract, modify, etc...both Houses must agree with the new modifications and it must be signed into law for it to replace the original Act, if the Executive vetos it, the Legislators have to see, if they have the requisite 2-3rd majority to override that veto...if they do, the new Act becomes law despite the refusal of the Executive branch.

I am specifcally asking you which part of the constitution states that

1. vested with the constitutional powers to give the executive guidelines
2. make new laws that restricts or limits or directs what the executives does

Your argument is based on your civic studies in Pry school?
SMDH

ElSherriff:
Eya, so you took the bait?
If actually they are helping Nigeria through ensuring our dams do not overflow, how come they still have to pay for our electricity?
Basic rule of life, do not give what you do not have!
Since I am your father's mate, it is safe to say, your father, all his brothers are stupid. You? you just dont exist.

Bros,

Pls shut it and take time to read to understand..........less you're sounding more idiotic on something so basic in logic.

Ok let's help you. When Niger builds a Dam on their end of the river Niger, will the "power" of the flow river not have depleted and will make Kainji Power station redundant?

Ehiscotch:

ElSherriff: :
Fashola we trusted you, now you are spewing this nonsense? Which dam? ehn? stop selling to them, when they overflow the dam, sanction them. sell something else not what you do not have in abundance.

I can see you are dam' stupid [pun intended].
Kanji dam generates a good percentage of our electricity. Stop selling to them and you've got no electricity at all, then you start depending on gas, whose pipelines are exposed, vulnerable to vandalism.

Sanction who? On top their own river?
It is a win-win situation for all parties.

Dam stupid is the right description bro.........

meanwhile Fashola did not say anything new in this case. This has been the reason since Kainji Dam was built.........anybody that had gone on excursion to Kainji Dam while in school would also have been told this

....and I think clarification needs to be made to many of you fools. As at 2016, the FG had declared its intention and made French a compulsory subject http://thenationonlineng.net/fg-declares-french-compulsory-students/

In the NERC website, French is not even listed as an optional subject, so what is the idiotic argument of not enough French teachers

nwamehn:
Maybe I am wrong with my interpretation, I stand to be corrected though, but I don't think that what the house of reps did changes the fact that Arabic would be made compulsory for some people who sincerely wouldn't wish to offer it.
The house of reps only brought
back Islamic Studies and CRK as single subjects out of the Civic Education they were merged into before, but Arabic studies would still continue because Arabic is made compulsory if u can't offer French, the option. Same way French is made compulsory if u can't offer Arabic.
Both of us know how scarce French senior secondary school teachers are in Nigeria, which would mean that most of these students would have to settle for Arabic.

1. The HOR has no power to reverse an executive decision on curriculum of education. It is not within their remits. There is a process in which curriculum is reviewed, updated, ammendate and some aspect discarded. It is nothing something that is just "agreed" on the floor of the House of Rep....

2. Arabic is NOT made compulsory for anybody. Unnecessary use of wrong choice of languange is not a basis for credible argument. Arabic is OPTIONAL for those that choose to do so

3. There is no statistical evidence to back up your claim that French teachers are scarce in Nigeria. In fact I dare say that this is the LIE, IGNORANCE and FALSEHOOD perpetrated by the leadership of CAN and others who trumpet it. The simple thing to do is to show us a data/evidence that supports they notion

linearity:
The legislators are vested with the constitutional powers to give the executive guidelines and even make new laws that restricts or limits or directs what the executives does.

If as it may, the executive had a broad powers in this arena, the legislators can pass new laws to limit those powers.

....and these your submission is supported by what part of the constitution?

EazyMoh:
Lol funny people, who told then they had such power?
And can you imagine this useless Vanguard has the audacity to even call the policy Buhari's.
God will judge all of you!

This made me laugh Bro. Is that how curriculum is "reversed"? Honestly many people are simply plain stu.pid.....

And Vanguard is reputable as a very unprofessional media outlet, falsifying information at will. N-power just disowned a publication from Vanguard about N-power employment today

israelmao:
How else would the truth look like when Arabic Studies stands on its own as a subject and CRS is merged with another?Why not the other way round?If that question sounds pedestrian to you,that shows the depth of your grasp about the issue under discussion and the secret plan being woven over the years to further evil motives which have been foiled by our God on many occasions.Missionary schools were here before any other school and those that have the grasp of history knew how they were confiscated from churches by the government after the departure of our colonial masters even though they were well managed by churches and most of our political leaders whether muslims or christians atttended those schools.This secret ploy or intrigue didn't begin today.Our God has humbled those who tried it in the past and He will yet humble whosoever tries it in the future.This is far beyond going round the circles of whatever you called it,it is rather a repeated attempt by the enemies of God's people.

So to you, CRS is a language studies like Arabic?

wrt every other thing you wrote, you see there are clear lines between fact-based discussions vs conjectures. I'm not ready to engage in the later, so I will like to rest it here

Even if you're attempting the basic level of reasoning, Bros, you're aiming too high

erico2k2:

Chukwuka16: :
Actually, edju is right. Our installed generation capacity is beyond 10000MW, but like was earlier posited, the problem is multi-faced:
1. The location of generation sites was politically motivated (without sense) hence we have a generation site for example in Ondo to be powered by gas from Rivers!
2. Our Transmission network is moribund. Our carrying capacity is around 4500MW.
3. Some peeps have suggested embedded generation (DG) which is nice but then we lack the following:
(i) real time data to quantify adequately the potential of available renewable energy resources in various locations.
(ii) expertise in DG/microgrid setup to cater for its integration, sustainability and economics.
(iii) any workable plan/legal backing that compels government to act to meet some benchmark targets.
4. The growing disconnect between the academia and industry which means that we would always need foreigners to develop and manage our electricity network.

Bro that installed capacity is a myth.They just dish out these future supply to gain support,Its like saying we got land to build 100 Airports jst saying.What the max power generated so far 4k plus MGwatts?Well Generation problem is political,they should site all gas powered plant in the ND where gas is located,after that we can deal with transmission. Infact the Discos would provide the infrastructure for this, FG need not spend nothing, just like teh telecoms are providing thier own infrastructure Where I live if I generate my own electricity and plug into the national grid, whatever I have left is supplied into the grid and I get paid for it.

See how you polluted an intelligent submission with conjectures!!!!!

Some of you need to stay at the sidelines

erico2k2:
Thats what people with sense DO.Borrow some from your president!

People with sense speak ignorantly?

whoever did this to you certain set to inflict maximum pain

erico2k2:
Thanks my senses never left me if it did I will be suffering the same epileptic power situation in Nigeria with you.

Oh! you're not in Nigeria at the moment, yet you speak so emphatically and ignorantly..........hmmmnnnn............

Here we go . where in my statement did I refer to your lack of sense even though it's widely evident in your composition

What is wrong in my friendly advise to recall your sense on holiday?

erico2k2:
There are 2much politics involved . We know where we ja e gas why not build the place ts arround that area to secure source .

That is EXACTLY what Fashola has been trumpeting since he came on board. Gas Power plant in ND, Coal plant in East, Solar in North, Wind in SW

Aburi001:
Our main problem is ENOUGH Power GENERATION, you can not transmit and distribute what you don't have.

Look at South Africa with over 40,000 MWatts while Nigeria is still struggling to generate 5,000 MWatts

But I think we need to put these numbers in perspective. We have not adequately documented private Genco's output.......so the 5GW may not be absolutely correct.

Meanwhile, Ambode will soon free Lagos from the Grid with the intention to build 3 Power plants with combined capacity of over 2GW

erico2k2:
all this was the state He met them . What has he brought to the table
Answer NOTHING .
I had great respect for 5 his guy but E fall our hand bug time.E for nor take this position .

Why do you expect him to bring something new to the table when he met myriads of abandoned projects that overfilled the table. Well I won't tell you to recall your sense from the current holiday

OzyMigrant:
Three Gbosa for you OP! you are well conformed.......The minister should look more into transmission and distribution, we have cases of stranded power already.

Transmission will be fully privatised. That is the problem we failed to solve in the past
