Nothing works in my country Nigeria

Problem is not lack of job....but too many people wanting white collar job....and too many people getting little or no career advice when they were in secondary school.

Joel3:
before the election let compare the two promises Jonathan & Buhari made.

incomintop:
do we really have minister of finance or kachikwu and buhari have taken her job
in this time of economic hardship we need to hear more policy statements from the minister finance or is she part of nlc strike
most of buhari ministers are frustrated the president might just be too stubborn to listen to them or is the EAR INFECTION AFFECTING THE PRESIDENCY

spymaster:
building power plant near gas supply 'll not eliminate the problem. You 'll still need to build transmission lines to evacuate the power generated. what stops them from blowing transmission lines when there are no gas pipelines to blow again. The solution is to have an energy mix that do not totally rely on gas.

MadCow1:
I Concur..



Instead of Wealthy Niger Delta Men to form Voltron and buy out Port Harcourt and Eleme Refineries, They are busy sponsoring Militants to blow up pipelines.


Dangote by now would have sent scouts to go run checks on all the Refineries and do him a feasibility report on how long it would take him to recover his investment should he put some stacks on it. HE would have also informed his other rich Abokee Hommies too..

LONGFUELCUE:
The same way privatization of NEPA has retrogressively increased power generation.

A P C!

I will still blame the education sector for the foolishness of Nigerians

1) the cost of rice increase because of the value of Nigeria, and that's no buhari's fault, tell ur rich dad or uncle to go to kebbi and build a rice processing plant and make cool cash

2) blaming Buhari for tomatoes?? Why not praise him for onions supply?? Our tomatoes farm was attacked, sha earlier this year I bought tomatoes the cheapest I have bought in my life . . Please if u have money try greenhouse tomatoes farming it's pays ( once I get cash am going into it)

3) as for garri, that's a simple economics, a ton of cassava chips is reported at $300 - $400, and with the current Nigeria value it pays more to use cassava for chips than garri processing and the government can't stop the export cos we need the forex... or what would u have the farmers do? ?
Not given him an excuse also but the above accusations are baseless

ollymoore:
And dey are going to spend millions of naira on may29 to celebrate one year in office doing nothing

olapluto:
Not entirely. In fact, it is rare. What most people (Igbos especially) do is gross child abuse. Taking cheap maids pretending to help them, whereas depriving them of their childhood. This is the same logic behind baby factories and human trafficking.

mrvitalis:
That will be more expensive

rottennaija:
The gas power plant are already built. They can't be building them again. But they need to look for a way of getting more gas plants but outside of the Niger Delta. I learnt that we have a large reserve of gas in all state of the federation, even larger than the crude we have.

MeanChris:
A zero CGPA in your first has already spelt doom. I don't really expect much from APC again cause if in one year, APC took us back 25 years, I think we already know the whole contents of the chest

pharmagba:
It is obvious that this dicusssion is way beyond your level and comphrension.

EasternActivist:
... Better wake up to reality

I hate that old man

emmasege:
Yes, they only need to get rid of strange elements like Sheriff and mend their broken walls. For me, I think the Makarfi-led committee should reconcile and work with the Mantul/Gana-led committee to get the party back on track in the shortest time possible, because Nigeria needs a strong and United opposition party at the moment, and also needs to change the change in 2019.

EasternActivist:
Get lost,

If the government can't sit their golden ass down on a bronze chair to negotiate with them.... To hell with them and the country...

Happy fall to the economy like voila

buJu234:
Gud idea

but I tot Nigeria export LNG..

Just take that LNG and ship them to the power station and convert it back to gas.

Why can we build a small degassification plant to convert the LNG to gas at each power station.

Common sense is really not common. ..

Such a simple idea...@ fashola

bettercreature:
The best short term solution is to negotiate with Niger/delta militant then allow each state to partner with private sector to generate it's own electricity
Power generation must not be central thing,there are various ways to generate enough electricity that can sustain one state rather than the whole Nigeria

rottennaija:
You mean like a large gas storage tanks? It could work but I'm sceptical about Nigeria where a majority see everything thru the lens of tribe and region.

I think building more gas generating stations near the power plant is the best options, as we have a large reserve of gas underground in every part of the country

mrvitalis:
I will give my own solution to my countries problem and it's left for my country to take my solutions
Am a graduate of mechanical engineering from the UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA with special interest in gas transport network (aspiring gas pipeline engineer)
The blowing up of pipeline is making headlines because it majorly affects power generation, so if there is a way to stop from affecting power generation it will make less headline and will be meaningless for the fools( Niger Delta avengers) Engineering solutions of this magnitude are very expensive but are worth it
My solutions is that all gas faired gas plants should as a matter of urgency build a gas storage facility capable of storing enough gas to power there plants for a month. With this any damage in the pipeline should be fixed within a month
This solution is expensive and will increase the cost of doing business in Nigeria but it's better than giving in to the demands of a militant groups, government should never bring its self down to the point of negotiating with militans group it will give others the impression that the government is weak
My thoughts tho

MeanChris:
This administration seems to be cursed. Every decision they’ve made has led us from bad to worse. This is not funny anymore. I know people believed in APC though they only chose Buhari who they claimed was a repentant democrat because it was clear that without any other candidate spelt doom for me.

At the twilight of the last administration, things were beginning to turn gloomy that’s why most Nigerians not minding that Buhari didn’t present a certificate to prove he went to school, not minding the band of thieves standing behind him, not minding how insensitive his government of the 80s was, not minding that since Buhari left government, he hasn’t engaged in any nation building activity and has only engaged in a series of vengeful comeback attempts, vehemently voted for him because they believed he had the divine mandate to better things in this country.

We all know the situation in our country right now so no need to pin point the different ways this administration has failed. My question is this... Is it karma that’s affecting APC? I know that some elements within them had good intentions for the country, so what’s happening? I know somebody like Fashola had already set out plans to achieve his dream statements of stabilizing electricity so what’s happening to those plans..?

APC castigated, ridiculed, disrespected, offended, blasphemed, reviled, depreciated, derogated, insulted, disparaged etc (I have more words but let me stop here) Jonathans government to the extent that little children who Jonathan was old enough to grandfather also joined in calling him a clueless fool. It was terrible. They were against everything; I mean everything that came from Jona's administration.
Well welcome to the world where justice sometimes select scapegoats to use as case study. APC government is not yet over so let’s assume they’ve not failed.

The lesson is ‘always remember Karma’. What you sow is what you reap. The world might be unjust but the little voice of justice is still heard. The earlier APC acknowledge they destroyed Jonathan’s government, the earlier things start working out for them.

PEACE!

bbmoringa:
OK,I WISH YOU SAFE TRIP IN YOUR SOLO MOVE

pharmagba:
I'm impressed.
He did x-ray the situation clearly.
Where he fell short is articulating a solution or plan of action from the stand point of one that has been in government and from his experiences.

My friend go and sleep. I am not a feminist but if given just two choices: A country ruled by silly, egoistical and never progressive men and another filled with feminists who are most likely smarter... i would choose the later in one blink.
