So what becomes of Captain Sagil Koli who leaked the video? Don't you think he should be promoted for his heroics and act of patriotism (by releasing that video/audio to the world)? Jes sayin

He has been reabsorbed into the army and continuing his career. I think he was given an award or emblem that is it............

I am not sure if the move to reabsorb him is safe for Koli. The logic is that, he will be tagged a whitsle blower, people will be too careful to a point of fault, Momoh's folks in the army could plot for him.........

I think they should have moved him to NSA and let him continue his career......

demolinka:
Really bad move by Jonathan, that one. Shoulda left BG Dikko at the Akure division instead of replacing him with momoh.
GEJ - Good guy, no spine

The report was that BG Dikko was reputed for being upright and was not going to play ball

Stup1d doesn't begin to describe you Caro, you shoulda just shut your mouth and continued living with the choice you have made, how dare you make an excuse for a philandering man? Why won't he continue cheating when you sound like this? Rubbish!

You love him my a$$.

you dey mind her see how dumb she sounds. Caro married for money. I don't even want to start on her. I know her wella. Shame won't let her leave her husband. Yeye dey smell

Besides, he wasn't a fresh man.

Caroline is simply immature. The biggest mistake she's making is discussing her private affairs in public. She must be unintelligent. has she not learnt the power in silence? right now the whole world knows how vulnerable she is, she's compromised are husband's too. She is not a wise woman at all.....

My elder brother who works in FIRS just confirmed it to me. Naija which way? na only Agricultural scheme una go dey advertise for us abi? chai...I weep for my country

This is plain cheap

obiaguna:
Even if I don't believe this story from the PDP for lack of substantial evidence, I know that partial recruitments has always been the forte of the FIRS. I acknowledge that recruitments are done on merit but it doesn't equate to the ones done behind closed doors. If you know a big man or woman and u have a fairly good result at least, then you can get in.

Bros,

There is a difference between what you stated up here and the allegation PDP is making. The truth is every organisation has various means of recruitment, from the open jobs published in the dailies, to confidential ones done by recruiting agencies and direct hiring. That you know a big man and gets connected in a job is also relative. These is done irrespective of govt parastatal or private sector.

The allegation is that the rulling govt filled FIRS with over 200/250 family members. A simple and verifiable list will add credibility to the accusation.

SageTravels:
It is only in Nigeria opposition parties like PDP and others are see as enemies of progress when they criticize the ruling party.


personally I challenge PDP to provide evidence to back up their claim else they should apologies to FIRS boss and Nigerians.

Bros,

The managers of the PDP twitter handle (led by Deji Adeyanju) are fabricators of lies. Did you not read few weeks ago when the same handle published that FG wants to assassinate Deji Adeyanju? Your challenge for evidence is apt and the way to go. If they do not produce the evidence, then you should confine them to the dustbin

NgwaManNaija4LF:
My friend enjoy your darkness there, most of us here can think more clear about the future of our country than someone in darkness over there.

You see, the is the arrogance with you lot, the so called diasporans. Back to the guy in question, Abike was trying to build a collective resolve of Nigerian citizen about rebuilding the Nigerian project, you lot put it down. This so called darkness is but for a time, yet we associate with the country in good times and bad times.

Talking about thinking about the future....... I hope it includes fervent prayers that Trump does not make it to POTUS........... cos na this "darkness" you'll be home to bro

NgwaManNaija4LF:
You can also do the same if you have the mind.

By the way,do we all have to stay here to prove the love for our country? Get sense please.

Do what? Exodus? Wetin I dey find? Abeg, I dey enjoy 9ja juice o, I no need lower status

It is just ironic you claim to love 9ja more than those of us resident here...........

NgwaManNaija4LF:
Yes, and what so funny about that mr smile.

........that the love for 9ja is the begining of exodus

hylyne:
Op here are my thoughts...

1.it was during her father's regime that, we recorded 0MW of power.
2. It was during her father's regime that a sachet of pure water was sold at N20
3. It was during her father's regime, that we started paying high for darkness.
4. During her father's regime, so many companies collapsed, hence there was massive retrenchment.
5. During her father's regime, investors left Nigeria for the fear of insecurity.
6. It was during her father's regime, that $1=N400..
7. Nigerian was totally grounded during her father's regime.

U can add urs.

With these points, op u can be sure ur post was not needed in a political room. Romance should have been a better room

Bros,

During Oga GEJ's regime, we actually experience 0MW 8 times

frankyychiji:
werey! Is this the first time in this administration that an American top official is refuting the likelihood of hiding huge sums looted in America?

Buhary is just using his position as president to holiday in places he couldn't have been as an ordinary citizen. Because he had no business and no clues to the goings-on in the nuclear summit, he needed to form busy with his selective fight against corruption!

I have said severally, Buhary should have been Efcc chairman cos he is so unpresidential!

You obviously do not get it. I wish I could break your skull, and force sense into it. I said the news is false. Discussion of repatriation of funds is not done by word of mouth only. You show the evidence on paper.

Frankyychiji, I think you should just concentrate on reading for SSCE, this is obviosuly beyond you.

NgwaManNaija4LF:
No sensible Nigerian will ever try to run his country down. Most of us here overseas love Nigeria than those living inside the country.

No, its you that doesnt understand how power industry works..
And that is where I work( across generation, transmission and presently distribution), so i know better that you and i can differentiate between lies and truth ...
infact sometimes, i will joke with the dispatch operations officer and tell him oga, you now generating 5000MW..
we will just laugh because we know the truth

Bros,

this is not an ego trip. Of course if you work in floor of the power plant (or wherever), you are bound to be giving us bits within the boundaries of what you can only see

For all it's worth, I am tempted to join in this discussion, most especially to reset sense back into you lot.
So if a blogger is idiotic, does that mean he should get recruits in droves? So Nigeria will travel with all the government force to discuss repatriation of funds by mouth only? So you will imagine that Nigeria will not show evidence of monies claimed and will just use the term "millions of dollars".....

And then Kerry will also be so foolish to be confirming amount in verbal discussion without showing details of what America can and has traced? Haba! Ewo rayin sono, eyin were!

Much ado about nothing!

How can work continue on the project when money hasn't been released?

Can someone kindly mention the federal works project that happened in the entire 2015?

Buhari just had his first budget passed last week and N17billion was budgeted for the said 2nd Niger bridge. The same last week, a N350billion stimulus was released to resume abandoned federal projects and the finance minister rightly announced that the priority projects are the Lagos Ibadan road and the 2nd Niger Bridge. So what exactly is this large scale wailing all about?

http://www.punchng.com/n350bn-package-lagos-ibadan-expressway-2nd-niger-bridge-to-benefit/


Please when we want to wail, let's do it with a little bit of wisdom and with some due diligence in getting the right info first.

This my address is to the Igbo folks who are wailing here like the foolish and the ignorant

1. Believe Authority newspapers at your own peril. It is simply a tool to push bigotry and falsehood
2. When Fashola was defending his budget with the Senate committee, and there were subtle protests about the budget not covering their sections and constituencies, Fashola mentioned that FG was concentrating on "Economic Roads", which are roads that offers equitable distribution of FG's offering to all parts of the country. The first on the list of "Economic Roads" mentioned is Second Niger Bridge
3. Just last week the Finance minister mentioned FG's N350b intervention to rejig the Economy. Second Niger Bridge tops the list of projects that the funds would be chanelled to.
4. So you want to tell me within a week the government will change their mind, after securing a budget approval for it? Why are we allowing fools to get into our heads? Someone sits down and concort falsehood, and we all make it our ethos? The same way we allowed a lazy and bigot ThisDay journalist to concort the famed "...we will not rest until sharia is practiced to all parts of Nigeria" and credit it as statment made by Buhari, when this journalist did not attend the event and neither speaks hausa.

Who are the enemies here? If we're to believe the report,
1. You will wonder why some communities are putting personal greed over national interest. You will wonder why governors in the state had not gone there to put these so called communities in their places. When a Lekki community were disturbing Dangote Refinery, Fashola went there and gave them a stern warning, today the Refinery is on target to commissioning in 2018. I dare ask why the governors, elders, Senator and HORs from SE had not taken this as a collective responsibility to meet the communities and resolve the logjam
2. PMB is hated for what is not founded, yet Onolememen is not questioned for the yet to be explained $700m?
3. How come an inconsequential statistic is the source of information? "An employee of the firm (name withheld) who claimed he was recruited in April 2014 at the site of the bridge, admitted that Julius Berger had stopped work at the project site since June 2015 due to non-funding by the Federal Government."
4. At times I wonder if our conscience works right. We prefer to lie against someone, despite knowing the negative consequences and also prefer to ignore, when we know it will put is in bad light. The enemies of the second Niger bridge was explined by Sir Ziggy Azike -

anyaekekehinde:
Thats the problem with Nigeria, we use data and statistics to deceive people, you see, the day transmission capacity will be expanded to accommodate 20GW, is the day you will be aware that this 12GW generation na just packaging.
Let me give you an illustration, they said the Installed capacity of kainji is 760MW, well documented on paper, but the Engineers know that even if the Dams are full, the governor control is operating the plant at optimum capacity, Transmission lines are okay, the max, I mean Max this your 760MW can give is 400MW, I am even been generous by saying 400MW, due to issues ranging From ageing turbines, Generator Transformer limitations etc

I think you're buring your head in too much of the technical jargons.......

NgwaManNaija4LF:
That's fine, we all here wish good for our dear country as well as all citizens of this great nation, no hard feeling about that,but you must remember that we play a greater role in nation-building because all i could remember is that hard working Nigerians living overseas shipped in 20b-usdollars every year into the nigerian economy and that's a whooping amount of money right;.

Bros,

Hope you get my drift. The objective from Abike is about building the nation together. I believe it is only civil not to insult the sensibilities of those that hold the country dear. I do agree that hard working Nigerians living in US shipped 20b US dollars, sure, but sending money home is but one part of nation building. Running the country down by cataloging woes (especially from those who don't even live here and with overt exaggeration) is definitely not nation building.

now he's being overfed

I'm a nice lady till you come for anything I hold sacred..... Imagine someone wey abuse full dem body dey try bend mouth pass hin boundary, next thing na to set am straight...

You don hear of "council" of VCs in a university or "council" of MDs in a company?

For the purpose of order & control, na one "head" & "council" of advisers or advisory body dey ideal!!! Too many cooks they say spoil the broth..

Madam,

E le O! too much brain!!!!!!!!

modath: :


You do not have to like it, it's alien to you, some don't like the Europeans' monarchy as well, despite itO having zero to do with the general day to day running of the country & implementation of policies....

However, some of us find it curious that anyone with a little change to rub together can buy himself a certain "colour of cap" & then proceed to lord it over other people, no order, no structure in place!!!

There is a reason why there is only one head on a human body... only one heart in human engine room..

Even in the animal kingdom, despite being ferocious wild cats, a pride of lion will always have just one LEADER, i.e The Alpha Male that will serve as a rallying force...

Even in Democracy, we can't have more than one President, Prime minister or Chancellor...... having more than one captain steering a ship leads to nothing but chaos. cool

Someone attacks with a needle and you come out blasting with a magnum.

Na wa for you oo.

Used to think you were nice.

Lionhearted511:
A revered traditional ruler like the Ooni shouldn't be seen at every social or political event no matter the circumstance or his ties to the celebrant. The Oba of Benin will never leave the palace to visit anybody even the president except such person comes to visit him in Benin. It is part of tradition. That accounts for the degree of respect and reverence the binis accord the palace. So much familiarity breeds contempt.

How come you try to Lord Benin opinion as standard. If the Benin's decide to cage their Oba in the palace, it is their own cup of tea. Our Obas have been free to move, associate and relate even with other Kings.

omoharry:
I still respect the Oba of Benin any time any day..you can never catch him in every political social gathering, hooking up with top politicians..Royal fathers dont go about visiting people up and down rather people come to visit him..they are realy seen in occasion..i dont understand these royal fathers of these day especially the ones from the south westa and the north.

Tot he's dead. Is he still alive?
Benin is not standard for monarch's movement. If the monarch in Benin chooses not to socialise, then that is Benin's perogative

Oga this your 12GW is name plate installed capacity not operational capacity.
This is naija, I have seen 100MVA rated transformer but in reality the Engineers dare not use it at 100MVA, Infact operationally they use it as 60MVA because if yawa gas, na the protection engineer go use him head carry am..

70% lost in transmission and commercial log-jam?
Where did you get this info from?.
Anyway you are wrong.
There is difference between Installed Capacity, Actual Available Capacity and Operational Capacity.
There losses on the grid, the Technical loss on the grid should be between 25% to 40%, but not as bad as you placed it
The commercial loss and collection loss is only pronounced at the distribution level.

Bros,

you simple restated what I have stated in long sentences. And yes we have a generating capacuty of 12GW, that is a fact and data supports it. Why we can only deliver 3GW in transmission is another matter entirely. Give me your email and I will send a document to you on the stats

loomer:
U come kuku worsen matter with big big grammar. U supos pity people like us wey no too go school o. Anyway, we still dey hope for the best for the country called NIGERIA

Abeg no mind my grama, d tin be say dat hotel dishwasher wey dey form medical student tok about 9ja anyhow should go fvck himself

Quakertellicus1:
While I don't think we can generate 12000MW....the transmission system IS messed up....and needs replacing.

Bros,

12GW is the true combined generation capacity........unfortunately, 70% of this is lost in transmission and commercial log-jam

Since 2003 thats 13yrs ago, most of those meters will be defective by now, if they are analog rust must have consumed most if them, if they are digital, they must be malfunctioning now, what a wasteful country.

The man doesnt know what hes doing.

Ka sha wipe iwo na soro........?

Teenaira:

mayorkyzo: :
What's the use of meters when there's no electricity to power them..these people should just stop this useless propaganda and get to work...we don't need meters we need light...

Sir, I don't totally agree with you. Infact, on the contrary, I am very sure that the only reason why we don't have power supply is because prepaid meters are not installed. The truth is that private establishment don't joke with their REVENUE. If prepaid meters are installed and they know they can not get FREE MONEY again, they will use any means, known and yet to be discovered to ensure their is power. Please quote me any where. If Fashola and indeed Nigerians want light, let us force the Discos to install meters. This will be one miracle we are performing as you will notice a tremendous increase in power supply and we won't hear stories of sabotage of power related equipments again. I tell you sir everything, that needs to be done will be done to provide power.

@Teenaira,

Trust NLers to argue their ignorance so openly............. my additions to yours are these
1. Provisions of meters is one of the fundamentals in the terms of engagement between the Discos and the consumers. Fashola is forcing the Discos to provide meters to all consumers and even threatened that consumers who don't have meters should/would not pay the Discos if they fail to meet up with the terms
2. Just like you said, the Discos are also sitting pretty on estimated bill, grossly cheating the consumers. Even if power generation drops, the Discos can rely on regular income from the estimated-bill-paying consumers. I am fortunate to have a card meter, I load 20k and it probably last long time, especially when power is erratic. My neighbours in the same estate recieves over 20-25k in monthly estimated bill (I had recieved 26k twice). A resident said he wrote to Ikeja Disco to come disconnect him till they can provide meters, as he cannot be paying for service not provided
3. We rely on unprofessional, naive and myopic bloggers as source of news. Many of these bloggers are do not even understand the technicalities and business/commercial issues, constraints and frameworks in the discussion on power. They just pick bits and write incoherently. I would have expected NLers to pick up these anomalies, but many of the NLers are even worse............
