Meanwhile in Mauritania.

Black people don suffer.

Temidayo9:
Your Allah direct you to block road to pray to him? He must be a merciless and wicked Allah then

Muslim faithfuls pray anywhere at prayer time,

What's wicked about someone praying to his God?

Muhammedian pigs and their propaganda as usual

Chelsea fans will protest this.
You want to ban the rock?

Afam4eva:
I don't know if i'm the only one who has this.

But i always feel sick whenever i get into most cars. I always feel like throwing up and it has been a problem i've had right from childhood. I don't know what exactly causes it but it makes it difficult for me to travel by car because i get sick throughout the journey.

Has anybody experienced this?

It happens to my sister too

Officialgarri:
Really? Do you think Christians go to church on Sundays only?

What about someone going to a hospital?
What about someone trying to catch up with an appointment?

This act you are trying to justify isn't just selfishness but also wickedness.

Simple question.

Do you go to church on Friday 2pm?

His prayer will take less than 10 minutes.
You will not die if you wait for 10 minutes.

MASTAkiLLAh:
That farmer will be hunted down, Twitter handler also. I trust this junta but if na Fulani Terrorists, lai lai

The farmer looks like a terrorist. I don't think Buhari will go after him

Electricity Calamity and the Sham 1999 Nigeria Constitution

https://africannewstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/backup-generator-main-image1-655x360.jpg


1st July 2020

There are several ways of generating electricity such as using: Gas – Nigeria has it. Fossil fuel – Nigeria has it. Coal – Nigeria has it. Biomass – Nigeria has it. Wind ­– Nigeria has it. Hydro – Nigeria has the water for it. Nuclear – Nigeria has the Uranium for it. Solar – Nigeria has the sun for it. So why exactly is it that sixty years after Independence Nigeria remains so badly unelectrified? What is the source of the permanent under-development of the territory called Nigeria?

We do not need to look far for the answer to these important questions as observers, including experts on electricity, law and jurisprudence point us to the 1999 Nigeria Constitution. Nigerians are living witnesses (or rather, victims) that without electricity access is denied to modernity, to technology, and to 21st Century living. So this issue of non-availability of electricity in Nigeria in 2020 is a serious matter and parents especially, ought to be concerned about the kind of existence they are giving their children to inherit.

The Second Schedule of the 1999 Constitution parts 1 and 2 are the ones that chiefly concern electricity. Part 1 is the Exclusive List of 68 items that are solely under government control. Although “Electricity” is not directly mentioned here by name, item number 67 is so broad as to capture many infrastructural matters as it states:

“67. Any other matter with respect to which the National Assembly has power to make laws in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution”.

Going down to part 2 of this same Second Schedule is the Concurrent List that describes BOTH Federal and State powers where we find:

“13. The NATIONAL ASSEMBLY [my emphasis] may make laws for the Federation or any part thereof with respect to-

(a) electricity and the establishment of electric power stations;

(b) the generation and transmission of electricity in or to any part of the Federation and from one State to another State; (c) the regulation of the right of any person or authority to dam up or otherwise interfere with the flow of water from sources in any part of the Federation;

(d) the participation of the Federation in any arrangement with another country for the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity for any area partly within and partly outside the Federation;

(f) the regulation of the right of any person or authority to use, work or operate any plant, apparatus, equipment or work designed for the supply or use of electrical energy.

Even though States can also legislate regarding electricity, Federal laws supersede. Thus, the 2005 Electric Power Sector Reform Act with Sections 8, 65 and 66 empowers Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) to take charge of transmission of electricity throughout Nigeria. Although after the partial privatisation of the electricity sector there are GenCos (electricity generating companies) and DisCos (electricity distribution companies) still via TCN the Federal government controls the national grid through which electricity must pass. Thus, through a complex web of laws, the 1999 Constitution puts the power of electrification of Nigeria in the hands of the Federal government.

A key source of information for this article is “Power Devolution and Electricity Transmission in Nigeria: A Study in Resources Mobilization for Economic Development” Conference Paper · May 2018 by Obiora, C. A., Chiamogu, A. P., and Chiamogu, U. P. (2019) in Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal – Vol.6, No.4. This academic paper explains how disabling and obstructive the 1999 Constitution is for the electrification of Nigeria. Basically, even if there is a town with capable engineers who can generate electricity for the townspeople, they will not be able to, so citizens and businesses must suffer the destructive consequences of electricity lack.

From the paper referred to above, we learn that,

“The existing transmission system is only capable of delivering about 5,300MW… This is as a result of Nigeria’s current weak transmission infrastructure…”

Furthermore, please Nigerians note this well,

“It has been estimated that developing economies would need about 1000MW per million people to meet their electricity demand…”

A simple calculation shows that Nigeria with a population of over 200 million needs over 200,000MW of electricity. In May this year we learned that the Federal government had done a deal with Siemens to provide 25,000MW by 2025. Yet, with a fast ballooning population we can all clearly see that 25,000MW in 2025 (even if it is achieved in Nigeria’s highly corrupt environment) will NOT advance Nigeria!

Carelessly, my generation has lived with electricity lack and developmental retardation because we chose to submit ourselves under an anti-development Constitution that is a known forgery, for “We the people” did not produce it, nor did a Referendum on it occur. The aim of this article is to further caution Nigerians and especially young people that living under this Constitution WILL NOT WORK! If not scrapped, this same fraudulent 1999 Constitution will also deprive another generation of young Nigerians from living an intelligent, exciting life filled with the technology that electricity enables, and which their counterparts in modern countries easily enjoy.

“It is absolutely impossible for Nigeria to be a rewarding venture for its constituent units and its frustrated, subjugated and degraded citizens.” – Remi Oyeyemi.

An Alternative Culture of “doing the right thing” and “doing the right thing the right way” is the only culture that will turn this territory around. It is therefore of UTMOST importance, and should be our PRIORITY now, to discard the sham 1999 Constitution and replace it with a truly “We the people” pro-development social contract.

Kuumba, the 6th Principle of Kwanzaa, signifies: To do always as much as we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it. So Nigerian parents, your children need to see your love for them in action. They are saying to you,

“Our house is on fire. Your inaction is fuelling the flames by the hour and we are telling you to act as if you loved your children above all else” – Greta Thunberg

We should do the right thing that will make Nigeria “more BEAUTIFUL and BENEFICIAL than we inherited it”. It is by putting this land on a just and fair foundation with a “We the people” Constitution.

Kriss216:
Gana was killed by Government.

Even Ortom is aware of his murder. There's no way the Army will stop Government convoy. Ortom can't deny he's not aware of the death of Gana. All his reactions is to prevent reprisal attacks from Gana boys.

Fear Government and Stay away from crime.

Commonsense99:

Now that they have started coming into big cities, maybe this incompetent Government will start listening to people's cries, cause it can easily be any of them this time arround.
Meanwhile their useless Dss is no where to be found where you need them Most.

These killers are working for cabals(fulani leaders)

Magicians:
And this is coming from lunatics that can not see the second Niger Bridge Julis Berger provide daily pictorial update about but can claim 3D pictures as achievement for Obaseki... Lol.

Many of your Igbos /Ipobs are indeed exceedingly foolish.

Yorubastard mentality.

What's concerns Igbo or IPOB on this thread or Edo Election, does Nnamdi Kanu support any of the candidates? Why did you assume that the person you quoted is Igbo or IPOB? So who ever is against Oshomole must be IPOB or Igbo?


You be fagot

Supermugu:
... RUBBISH MUMU TALK ! THE PRESIDENT OF LEBANON IS A CHRISTIAN ! SEE YOUR LIFE !!!

Terrorist country!

TheWalkingMind:
God is the creative energy which cannot be created not destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. Accessed by everyone, present in everything. That makes sense?

Now tell then how that God is related to Jesus.

Openbusiness:
The biggest MISCONCEPTION about Genesis is that people think the 6 days God used to create the world and the timing in between is your usual 24 hours time we use today. NOPE it is not. This world is very old, very very, very old

What's your definition of creation?
Is God still creating the World?
When will God finish creating the world?

Stop defending what you don't know.
