The highly pronounced power failures across the country in the past few days may worsen following a partial system collapse that occurred on Tuesday, and the continuous drop in electricity generation due to what the government says is the vandalism of pipelines that supply gas to the power plants.

As a result, power generation dropped to 1,580.6 megawatts on Wednesday.

Data from the Nigeria Electricity System Operator as well as information from senior officials of the different electricity distribution companies confirmed that power generation plummeted massively on Tuesday and Wednesday................................

[size=18pt]The useless lying liars government of dullardhino Buhari , always passing the buck, shifting blames.
Per the red highlighted portion above,the next thing Liar Mohammed will come out and tell us is that GEJ sent Tompolo to go an vandalize the pipelines to throw the nation into darkness as payback for the dullard sending EFCC and DSS after him and his business interests.

Useless government supported by useless zombies[/size]

Pls try to put paragraphs in your write-up.
Everything is so clustered. Its discouraging to read.

RIP to the dead

Sorry for that,just copied and pasted.
I was too dazed by the horrific nature of this avoidable tragedy that I skipped spacing the report.

Judging from complaints of some engineers who had to withdraw from Lekki project jobs because of their non adherence to design specification, I'm afraid more of their buildings are in danger of collapsing, I just pray they collapse when people have not moved in.Its not if they will collapse, but when.A lot of their columns and beams have failed structural integrity test, I know this for a fact..........

@ Moderators

Please do the needful and move to the front page

RIP to the dead

[size=14pt]Mother, child, 16 others die as 5-storey building collapses[/size]

By Ebun Sessou, Bose Adelaja, Monsuru Olowoopejo and Faith Ake Lagos—A five storey building caved in yesterday in Ikate Elegushi area of Lagos, killing 18 persons among whom was a woman and her three-year-old child. A food vendor was also reportedly among the dead. The fate of 13 others that were rescued from the debris of the collapsed building, hung in the balance as doctors battle to save their lives. Most workers who died in the building were reportedly waiting to collect their wages from the contractors. Some of them were said to have been owed up to N40,000. Scenes from the scene of the collapsed building at Kusenla road, Ikate, Elegushi, Lekki, Lagos, yesterday. The building located at Horizon 1, Lekki Gardens which was under construction, was part of the phase 3 project by the Lekki Garden Estate, caved in at about 4.10am after a heavy down pour . Report said up to 100 masons were working at the site . Vanguard gathered that the building with 30 flats was erected within four months. Sources said that at the time of the collapse, over 70 artisans and labourers were passing the night in the uncompleted structure. Vanguard gathered that one of the labourers wife came visiting from Benin Republic, with her three year-old child, having seen their bread winner last in December 2015. Bodies of mother and child were recovered 12 hours later . Even in death , the woman was found clutching her baby. An artisan, Mr. Fidelis Anjolo, said; “She thought that her husband was lying that they were not paid for three months and decided to see things for herself. Her husband even borrowed N4,000 from five of us, with a promise to pay at the end of March. His wife came on Sunday night and was to leave yesterday morning. They used to sleep outside but yesterday they slept outside because of the rain.‘’ Another artisan, Kingsley Mathew, disclosed that seven citizens of Benin Republic arrived Monday evening to start work on Tuesday (yesterday). “But at the moment, we cannot say where they are. They might be trapped in the building. “Government should do something on issue of collapse buildings in Lagos because the magnitude of death is much. We have families to cater for that is why we are here. They owe most of us here. Hauwa, a food vendor, who hails from Nasarrawa State was also in the building,” he added. One of the rescued persons simply identified as Hassan, an indigene of Kaduna State. When rescued, he was screaming ‘ALLAH AKBAR’ ( God is Great).” A resident, Remi, who was in tears, disclosed that her brother, Femi, was still trapped under the rubbles. Wailing, she said “My brother is a bricklayer. He lives in Alagbado with his wife and children but he couldn’t go home everyday because of transport fare. I don’t know what to do. I have checked the recovered bodies but his is not one of them. Our elder sister has also been trying his mobile line but it is not reachable. This is pathetic. He has been catering for our needs since the death of our parents. What will be our fate if he dies?” Also, a carpenter, Mutiu Gani, disclosed that four of his friends were trapped under the debris . Another worker who spoke with Vanguard, Seyi Oluwafemi, dsaid construction of the building began August last year. According to him; “ I worked as a carpenter. Carpenters were paid N2,500, bricklayers, N3,000 while labourers were paid N2,000 each daily. At a point, the contractors started defaulting in payment. Some workers who died were waiting to collect their wages and because they were not paid, they had no choice than to sleep there until the following day. As I speak, the contractors are owing me three weeks wages. I left when it accumulated to three weeks. About 50 workers were deplored to the site on Monday to continue work on it. The number of casualties would not have been much, if workers normally go home daily. Most of them stay till weekend before leaving.” Another labourer who spoke on condition of anonymity said he was owed N317,000. “I do interior decoration job. As I speak I have not been paid. The debt went this bad after the introduction of weekly payment. Because of that, several labourers resorted to leaving on weekly basis. Some of the aggrieved sympathizers who spoke to Vanguard complained that rescue operation was slow, attributing to the delay in rescuing victims that were trapped . When Vanguard arrived the scene family members, friends and other sympathizers were seen be mourning their loved ones while others joined rescue operators in the search for trapped victims. Call from the debris Scenes from the scene of the collapsed building at Kusenla road, Ikate, Elegushi, Lekki, Lagos, yesterday. One of them gave the name of his relatiion as Isaac Martins, he said “My brother is a welder . He called me on phone this morning to come and help him, that he was in a collapsed building. He called twice but when I got here, policemen did not permit me and other workers to help in the rescue operation. I got here 3am and have so far rescued some people . But I cant find my brother and his phone is switched off. Another eyewitness Angelo, said that” the building collapse as a result of the inferior materials used and I blame it on the contractors and the engineers who only think about themselves alone imagine you working and not being paid. ”Sometimes, the contractors will go to neighbouring countries to bring workers to work if we refuse to work because of lack of payment I learnt this work in Ghana i stop working here because they don’t give us quantity material to work with and they short pay. General Manager, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, Micheal Akindele, who was at the scene described the incident as unfortunate. He explained that “We moved here immediately information reached us. Rescue operation started at about 4:45am . So far, 18 were recovered dead, while 13 were rescued alive

Hmmmmm...................

Pause a minute and think,,,,,,how can seven people be in a car,,,,an accident happens and only the three members of the same family die .I know seat belt would have helped,but if the seven person were in that car,then some other persons must have been without seat belts as well,especially those on the third row back seat,,,,why didnt any of them die ??why just the Ocholis

This is nothing but a spiritual arrow.There is a prayer that people should always pray consistently,,,,,,,,that I will never embark on a journey of no return.

Nairalanders,I pray the above prayer for you;may you never embark on a journey of no return,anywhere they have submitted your name to terminate your life spiritually,may God almighty replace your name with the names of those that submitted it and may He cause them to eat their own flesh and drink their own blood like sweet wine.

He never cohabited with Ese yet Ese is 5 months pregnant. Was it Mohammad that came to impregnate her in her sharia court detention through pedophiles of like minds? Maybe the seed had been planted be4 the 25yrs old pedophile absconded with the gal. I really can't blame Ese because any low self esteemed 13yrs old lady would have done that easily. @ 13, she doesn't really have a mind of her own thus, she can be easily indoctrinated and converted. I classify ppl who keep ranting that she converted on her own will as ignorant, she is so vulnerable @ dat age. The same reason why Bokoarerams can easily use gals of her age bracket as suicide bombers. Vulnerability! #child not bride

True

I told osinbanjo that no man can worship two masters, either Baal or God. either u choose to lie to worship Baal just to play ur game right or u can choose to be on God's side by being faithful n truthful like Ben Murray Bruce

It's a shame,Osinbajo has now become a shameless liar

Who d shoe don help?

Don't mind the fool who is just using this Linda Ikeji Hermes bag scandal to announce himself since he isn't a household name.
He even sounds more vain, materialistic and stuupid than Linda

kidman96:
well first of all even though you are my country man, i still will tell you the truth.If you know how people behave,then you know how to deal with them. the way you conduct and carry yourself anywhere you are is how you will be treated. you erred by not making your request for leave absolutely official.You told your work shop manager about it and he advised you to speak with your boss. you should have done so and all this would not be happening.
secondly you goofed when you eventually resumed office. you should not have begged him. there is a difference between apologizing and begging. i am sure you your countenance and disposition portrayed fear and that you were absolutely sorry and scared of losing your job, which gave you away. you don't show fear to such people,you show strength, confidence yet remorse. this would have made him think twice before assaulting. but because he saw you apologizing probably almost kneeling he knew you were scared of losing your job and scared of him too as your boss so he attacked you. i am not saying all this to make you see me as a bigger man, i just want you to know when dealing with a bully you don't show fear.



in any case i commend your patience and hope you deal with him severely because it is becoming routine for these Indians and Lebanese who are way below us Nigerian.

Best reply here.
Someone give this man a glass of vintage wine

TechWalker007:
At the bolded, Buhari did not withdraw the fraudulent budget, he did not apologize to Nigerians but he sacked a DG

How can one sack the DG and leave the same fraudulent budget in NASS for it to be passed? Same budget for which he blamed Budget Mafia and sacked some people. If it's fraudulent enough to sack people, why has it not been withdrawn and every fraudulent line item removed.

The dullard has not withdrawn the budget cos he has always been and still is a thief, I'm sure he personally instigated all those fraudulent inclusions in the budget.Bloody deceptive tyrant from West Germany

TechWalker007:
At the highlighted, pray tell when we ever passed 6 trillion budget?
Also, are you aware when there was outcry by the people in government concerning Jonathan's 1bn food he reduced the figure?
The people who cried that he reduced it came into office less than one year later and increased the figure by 70%. Is something not wrong with you for trying to defend this embarrassment?

He is an APC rice eater A member of the council of lying liars

Reminds me of what happened last month when we travelled to Jos for tthe wedding of my younger bro(named Frank).You see he has an identical twin that my 3 year old boy has never met, so you could imagine the confusion the two uncles threw him into when he met them together, so after glancing from one to the other speechless, he dashed back into the living room to tell me that" daddy, daddy come and see, there is two uncle Frank outside"

Hey Mukz, how you doing? Good to see you today.
We will win this game well and do equally well (win) in subsequent games.The thought of spuds topping us on the table is nightmarish.I hope that enrages the lads to declare war and go for broke on every match day till the end of the season when we win the league.

Goke7:
Wish Ahmed musa's deal with leceister city fell thru, we would have been having a Nigerian player being a potential EPL champion now.

Yea, it fell through.......

You might wanna go check the meaning of the phrase

PunterTim:
Let me also remind you we thrashed these boys @ their own backyard this season and we will do it again and the dynamic would change!

Uh huh, uh huh
How up, hol up, I garra tell you some. ....
This result indirectly favours Arsenal

Fkforyou:
Like play, Like play, leicester want carry this league.o..
Who are those saying they'll drop by january?
Men fvck that shiit, this guys are becoming a real threat, any how, last last na Arsenal still get this league.....

That's it
Now that Arsenal has been given THE ONLY reason/motivation to keep climbing, there's no going back.
By the way, the motivation is that Tottenham is currently ahead of The Arsenal on the league table

chukwudi44:
You people have been ranting for far too long!! This case would come and go and Saraki would remain the Senate President!! No matter what the biased CCT rules, he would remain Senate President and appeal up to the supreme court

Let the zombies be having premature ejjaculation! !!

HungerBAD:
Saraki's 9 lives is gradually getting spent one at a time.

Soon.

Very soon his proverbial cat with 9 lives luck, will run out. This is the End of this backstabber.

Puerile wet dreams and e-rants of an APC zombie .After all said and done, Saraki will still remain the Senate president.
Long live Bukola Saraki,
The slayer of Tinubu 's national political control ambition.
Saraki the great , the BIG bone in APC throats

seunmsg:
Tinubu is just too lenient. He should have made Dokpesi to vomit the over N2billion he collected for that hatchet job as libel cost. Next time, he won't compromise the professionalism of his organisation on the altar of partisan politics.

Mr Seun messenger, do you believe or otherwise that Tinubu corruptly enriched himself with public funds

MonPro:
No news. It is okay for EVERY GOVERNOR AND POLITICIAN to denounce Biafra they have much to gain from the status quo. Do you know how much ex-governors are paid as pension for life after leaving office. Even South east governors denounce Biafra.

If you wait for the moneybags and burgeoise to lead a popular revolution against oppresion that they reap from, you will waste.

An Onitsha man is an Anioma man, Onitsha is in the SE. Political talk will always be political talk but everyone knows better.

Anioma nation IS NOT Biafra, tufiakwa
And pls an Onitsha man us not an Anioma man but an IGBO MAN, stop denying your true identity

I have boarded those helicopters offshore on a number of occasion. Sometimes I fear for my life when I see the Ocean beneath and we have to fly for over almost an hour over the Atlantic. We were trained on how to survive till rescue comes but what about those sharks, Barracudas and whales we see from the platforms.

Once the twin floaters on either side of the bird ate deployed, the aircraft will pretty much stay afloat till help comes, so while you're inside the chopper you'll be safe

[size=16pt]Only the pilot and her co-pilot and 9 people were aboard the sirkosky-76 as they were coming from PH to ferry oil workers,they had some technical hitches and decided to ditch the bird in the water (not really CRASHED)[/size]
