MONITZ: I hope states will be allowed to practise this holistically, and not the old way wen after generation, NEPA or NERC as it were will still be the ones to dictate where nd where to feed the power with, and end up shortchanging the real investors thru quota system of feeding the national grid with everything generated and from whence distributions re carried out to states that re idling away nd knew nothing about how the project came about in the first place, wat sort of injustice is that? ,these were some of the things that killed the Enron Power Project in Lagos, if not the light situation would ve been solved a long time ago..
Our leaders just lack the political will to solve the power problem once and for all because they use it as an avenue to loot, just imagine the 16 billion dollars in addition to the billions spent by Obasamjo nd Jona respectively,was more than enough to solve our light wen u take into consideration that the Itagui hydroelectric power project Of 7GW between Brazil no Paraguay cost about 20 billion dollars....
Why you dey put sand for some people garri? They are celebrating the return of PDP come 2019 to Aso Rock, the party that produced the leaders who achieved the bolded.
Cooly100: Thee type meetings have been going as long as I can remember...they outcome have been appalling...What is needed is a total autonomy....or separation..
Last time we got some investors form China to rehabilitate the Enugu-Onitsha federal road on PPP...We designed a proposal which included deploying Toll Gates...have been waiting for eternity for approval all the way from Abuja...It has not come and the roads has remained a death trap...What manner of suppression is this...? What manner of wickedness is this...? What manner of a country is this?
Please who was the President when that proposal was made?
zurich1010: I feel sorry for Nwodo...SE Governor Forum have hijacked Ohaneze. You can tell that John Nwodo is not comfortable. Resign and save your integrity! I commend the project but Biafraa is the only way out. Hausa-Fulani will jeopardize this since anything power in the state level will have to be approved by the Federal Government/Ministry of Power.
And the Minister for Power is Alhaji Kwankwasa Musa Sani, I guess?
Did you read the report? This was Harris’s first film as a stunt performer, according to Deadline, which reported that she was not wearing a helmet during the scene because her character does not wear a helmet.
I watched the video clip, race and stunt are two different events that can be done with a bike.
That you can race a bike doesn't necessarily mean you can do a stunt. I guess you know that.
Besides, the point is she didn't not wear a helmet.
I expected to hear she died doing 3++km/hr, I would have poured her a libation... But now it's just sadness, and tears. why would she even do stunt without helmet?
The lady whose ideal is a relationship with all the frills, thrills and bells, minus sex, meets a guy with the same ideal, is bound to have the best relationship ever.
There's really nothing greater than a mother's love. It's hard letting go, but you can sacrifice anything for your blood. The woman should be commended for being so sacrificial.
She had a good thing and she loved her daughter so much that she gave the good thing to her daughter to have a feel of it.
That's true love!!!
The daughter is a very greedy self-centered ingrate.
Well, she's just a kid and kids don't love to share their toys even when they know the toy won't be taken away.
To me, there's no biggie here, its just the same as a mom giving her daughter her used cloth and occasionally making use of it.
You are actually putting it in perspective, but few will share that perspective.
LionDeLeo: Comments so far, none can counter with any logical reasoning, everything is "Buhari is a failure", nothing more, no explanation, no logic, nothing nothing.
You should know by now that some Nigerians are extremely emotional with no iota of logical reasoning in them.
Nairaland is a good platform to conduct that survey.
Source: OPEC Revenue Fact Sheet and Energy Information Administration (EIA), a statistical arm of the US Department of Energy for various years; and my estimates.
Outcomes in 5 YEARS:
a) External reserves declined from $47 billion in 2013 to $29 billion in 2015; b) Savings depleted from $21 billion in 2010 to $2 billion in 2015. c) Federal Government borrowed $2 billion to pay salaries. d) 24 States of the federation bankrupt -could not pay salaries of workers, could not repay debts and other contractual obligations. e) accumulated arrears of workers salaries and pensions, running into billions of Naira. f) accumulated contractors debt such that all major construction works stopped. g) NNPC technically bankrupt. h) Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) at its all time low. Declined to $3.1 billion in 2015 from $8.8 billion in 2011 i) Nigeria's Credit Rating downgraded j) Massive capital flight: industries relocating to neighbouring West African countries.
Nigeria real net oil export revenue: 2015-2017 (under PMB)
Oil price $45 per barrel average Loss of 1.2 million barrels per day due to disruption by the Niger Delta Avengers
a) External reserves boosted to $31.22 billion from $29 billion in 2015; b) Savings increased to $2.29 billion from $2 billion in 2015. c) Federal Government stopped borrowing to pay salaries. d) 24 States of the federation bailed out- to pay salaries of workers, repay debts and other contractual obligations. e) Settled fully accumulated arrears of workers salaries and pensions, running into billions of Naira. f) Settled fully accumulated contractors debt such that all major contractors are now back to site. g) settled fully oil importers claims amounting to $400 million. h) NNPC restructured and now solvent and liquid. i) Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) steadily picking up. j) Agricultural revolution taken off such that we now have small holder farmers millionaires. k) Looted funds recovered running into trillion Naira mark and ploughed back into the budget. l) TSA the plugged loopholes of waste and swindle of public funds, now N4 trillion. ---to mention just a few
Bottom line:
a) Those looking for a magic wand, here it is. Using $52 billion or 12% in TWO years to achieve what Jonathan could not achieve with $445 billion in FIVE years.
b) Only an incorrigible hater will say that Nigeria is not making progress under the PMB administration with the acute resource constraint and the multiplying challenges facing the country.
I rest my case. May PMB/PYO succeed.
Be rest assured, just like some Israelites on the way to the promised land demanded to go back to Egypt, some on here will hanker, cry and demand for a return to the squandered years.
ebujany: In all sincerity, why will the north allow restructuring? This present state of things favours them and if restructuring means wealth control then its never gonna happen as long as the north is concern......which wealth are they going to control? Is it the oil in chad basin?
The main reason this contraction called a country was formed was based on economic reason. Using the wealth of the south to develop the parasitic north
That may not be completely true, just like when telecoms licences were sold by NCC how many Nigerians bought it?
NCC didn't create the frequency they sold, so? Maybe the same thing happened during the sale of oil block licences, to some extent.
I heard during the military Era some people were gifted oil well, but then couldn't we have borrowed a leaf from Gaddafi?
Blue3k: Agreed but NASS has to make law change. Till then we have get permission to channel our power for our own benefit.
I don't think I understand your point.
The Minister didn't say anything about what happens to the power generated, unless the mini-grid he mentioned will address that, Only no law stops a state from generating power, which is true in the case of Akwa Ibom.
Blue3k: You guys realise many states have had Independent power projects for many years right?
The problem is sending the generated power from those IPPs to the national grid to be shared back to those that generated it in the first place.
Akwa Ibom has IPP, but do we have constant power? NO, because the power we generate is sent to the national grid to be allocated back to us. That policy makes sense right?
We should be sending our excess output to national grid.
This guy. Animals were NEVER meant to feed on Humans, The Fall brought that.
And, no animal can feed on me even if I was offered to them. Am not like every other person. I have the life of God inside of me. How can an animal eat God. He lives in me. Wonderful.
Why didn't Lions feed on Daniel, weren't they hungry enough?
That doesn't answer the question, or you don't understand the question?
If I ask how you would feel being in paradise, your feeling won't count, abi?
I wonder who created flesh eating animals? Oooooh, it was "the fall of man" that caused some animals to start eating flesh, abi?
The point I made was that the HINDU Hare Krishna Master misinterpreted the Commandment to make Roman Catholic Christians look foolish, and himself and his sect wise, and moral for being vegetarian, whereas his people were as much killers as anyone.
Assuming that the Translators translated the term correctly.
The SEPTUAGINT Translated the term "kill" as "MURDER."
That is exactly what The Bible says.
The killing of Humans who have committed Capital Sins is not classified as "MURDER."
STAN LEE, the Comic Book Publisher raised the question in his "FANTASTIC FOUR" Sci-Fi Comic Book, introducing a godlike character named "GALACTUS," to whom populated Planets are sort of like Cakes to him.
Arguments that killing the Earth's population for a Happy Meal would sort of ruin our day have no effect on him.
Finally, when he is confronted with a weapon capable of killing him, he agrees to spare the Earth.
The best Solution the Oyinbo Mind can devise is to kill the Predator first.
701ecilana: Are you confused by your own Op? You said God said 'Thou shall not kill', yet commanded animals to be killed, isn't that killing? That is your Op.
[s] Oh, am sorry, i didn't know i was talking to a Lion. [/s]
I know you are a thinking being, now that you have summoned the courage to read the OP, can you attempt the question posed therein?
Specifically, How would we feel knowing that we are to be a delicacy on the menu of another "Being?"
The foundser of the HARE KRISHNA sect of BHAKTI YOGA practice now wanted to come and tell the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH that they were more moral than them, because they do not eat MEAT!!!
THE BHAVAGHAD GITA, their holy book, (I own a translation- haven't read it,) is reportedly the exposition of their lord KRISHNA just before this terrible battle they were about to fight- for which they had their excuses, no doubt.
The Roman Catholic Church has a terrible history of Warfare and Murder.
"THOU SHALT NOT KILL" never affected them.
THAT is what should have been discussed, and not diet.
The "THOU SHALT NOT KILL" Commandment meant no killing of fellow Human beings on their own determinism.
If Krishna was a warrior god, how about Yahweh? Did Yahweh not fight wars using the Israelites? or put the other way, did the Israelites not war in the name and blessing of Yahweh?
"thou shall not kill" is self explanatory. Unless you are saying it is okay to "kill" other life forms because they are not human.
Anyways, the question, How would we feel knowing that we are to be a delicacy on the menu of another "Being?" still remains unanswered.
701ecilana: You'd have to post a scriptures which forbids animals from killing other animals for food.
And, i have seen several times in NATGEO WILD where Lions killed fellow lions and ate them. Go figure.
You went into the Bible you don't believe in, you picked a statute from there and are trying to misrepresent it, even when you don't believe in it's statutes.
What do you hope to achieve with this? You say God doesn't exists, he is a Ferry Tale creature, the Bible is fabricated that's why it's filled with contradictions, yet you lose sleep trying to pin murder of real people on the same Ferry Tale character.
You are begging the world to see God's statutes as you see them. You believe God contradicted Himself by commanding man not to kill his fellow man but love them, haven already and previously given them to right to eat animals and plants as food.
Oga, what about plants? Don't they have life? Why do you kill them?
Lawd, i must be going insane to be in this thread this long.
Pls desist from quoting me. This is outright stu.pid.
Hahahahahahahahaha
Please check who you had that discussion with, I am not that person.
@bolded, I guess that exempts the cannibals amongst us then.
It might be of interest to read the OP again to put things in context, and attempt to answer the last question asked there in.
