Hahahahah. We are still struggling to effectively manage domestic wastes. A nation with such a sloppy record of safety shouldn't even delve into Nuclear Plant, let alone have them built by the Chinese and Russians.
Just keep those plants aware from the SS!

already atleast one reactor has been working atleast for the past 8 years. If you happen to travel for 1000km in Nigeria that means you probable pass by this reactor without your knowledge. I wont tell you the exact locations but there are two reactors currently in the country (I only physically confirmed one) and also there are atleast two research reactors that are working since late 1980's. So where you aware of the risks? NO.
Nuclear power plant is the safest of all conventional power plants worldwide less than 0.5% per plant per year of operation.
What many people dont know is that every year there is about a dozen of mishaps or accidents in conventional power plants while in the last 25 years we have only 2-3 nuclear accidents and couples of small mishaps worldwide.

faceURfront:
U just de hyperventilate de mix up figures up and down. So 8 power plants of 2.5MW gives u 20,000MW. Ok, continu! 2 nuclear plants to generate 20MW. Dude, u either don't know what u are talking about or you were drunk when posting this trash.

8 medium size power plants of 2500Mw you can have around 20000Mw considering those already online. Becouse power is not actually 1+1=2 due to losses and fluctuations
the 2 i am talking about is major nuclear plants of 1000Mw each.
A major gas or hydro plants have 5000Mw or thereabout but major nuclear plant can have 10000Mw or thereabout.

pls make your points without been offensive. your write up is full of talks but lack facts and context. I'm not the one that advocated a nuclear power plant for Lagos, i only laughed at the plain stupidity of the idea, second,nuclear power plants require a lot of water for cooling, i guess that makes borno state the perfect site for it. maybe buhari will cool it with the water he promised to channel to Nigeria from central Africa republic.

come to think of it your sarcasm is close to the truth the plant is not actually in Borno but thereabout.

IbokUtoroh:
n how will they manage the waste, RADIOACTIVE WASTES?
U think US will need another threat comng from a black nation?
n if we try to go against their directives cnsider nigeria a gonner!

Waste you mean plutonium? Already we have it. It can be sold to nuclear armed state USA, briton,france, russia or chinese. Thats not a major concern there are ways of controlling such.
The nuclear reactor once started normally continues working it is not something you can just switched off at will. And our reactor was fired since 2006. Can you remember the visit of IAEA boss El-beradai during the end of OBJ's regime? The new reactor was working at that time thats the reason of his visit

abouzaid:
by your own analysis, you have accepted that such a feat is impossible in four years and that's all that matters. i don't want to waste energy on the plain stupidity of building two nuclear power plants in lagos by Russians or Chinese.

this shows your lack of knowledge in Engineering. If Nuclear plant is going to be cited in Nigeria Lagos will be the least probable site location for many reasons.
I can assure you the chinese or russians can finish the plant in less than 3 years. Why? Europeans when working tend to have lower working hours/day, weekend, breaks, resting periods, lower number of laborers while chinese mostly work in shifts (24 hrs/day), can forfeit weekends, holidays if they are really pressed and also take large number of laborers for the shifts and speed.
Save your breath about standards we have nuclear power plants built by both Chinese and western countries all over the world go and check statistics of Nuclear power plants mishaps and see who have lower mishaps chinese or europeans.
And before you jump at fukoshima, it is an american/japanese design and construction.
Engineering is not politics

promise by buhari that he would generate 20,000 megawatts of electricity within four years. i have don a little analysis and come to the conclusion that they would need to build atleast 30,000 new power plants within four years to achieve that which is not feasible. also remember the impossible cost implication.

what a shame such illiterates analysis. You dont need more than 8 power plants of just 2500 MWatts to achieve that. And 2500 Mw plant is not even a major big power plant.
Infact with just 2 nuclear power plants 20000Mw can be achieved. With $10 billion you can build an 8000-12000 Mw power plant. So with just $20 billion NNPC Unremitted funds power will be stable. Your only weapon which you are ignorant of is the timeframe of 4 years. I gave you that for free. Nuclear power plants takes an average of 5-7 years to complete but thanks to chinese and russians you can have accelarated construction.
Thank god Nigeria has the technology and are already enriching uranium since 2006 at the nuclear research institute and we have already built an reactor in 2006 under Prof Shamsuddeen. Even the IAEA were here when the reactor was lunched.
During OBJ's regime a contract has already been awarded but was cancelled by Yar'adua/Jonathan regime. All GMB have to do is pursue this.
It is only nuclear that can give such lump of MWat in one plant. All developed countries of the world use Nuclear plant for base load. Solar,wind can never give us the desired result.
Hydro have limitations currently the only major hydro power plant possible in the country Mambilla thats all and cannot give us desired result.
Gas plants we need atleast 8 plants and then we will face the problem of gas transportation due to pipeline vandalisation which is the major dilenma we are currently facing.
So Op which analysis gave you 30,000 power plants? Even USA with their population, land area, industries doesnt have 200 power plants all over the country.
All Nigeria needs is 4-5 Nuclear power plants to attain 50000Mw status which is more than what we need. And we have the uranium here in Nigeria no need for importing the nuclear fuel.
The excess Mwatts can be a source of income by selling it to Niger republic, Ghana, Togo, and other west african states.
THIS IS FEASIBLE TECHNOLOGICAL AND ECONOMICALLY

Ride on Mr. President

Good and simple analysis.
Remember the PTF Program the economic prophets of doom both local and international wrote it off as a failed embarked policy at inception. But Nigerians knows better after the program was rounded up. Even the international doom sayers had to admit to the success of the program even without any foreign lending. And who is in charge?
With the op analysis it is possible to achieve the goals.
Even the outgoing govt has the resources to do this but the biggest undoing factor of JEG's failure is STEALING (sorry thats not corruption and cant sack becouse of stealing according to ...)
I believe with all achieved 65-75% of Nigerias income/budget was stolen, thats only 25-35% was utilised. Imaging utilising 90-95% what will be the situation on ground?
If GMB Can fight stealing/corruption Nigeria will be the best destination in Africa in 2 years time.

It is not the court martial that ginger the military to engage the terrorists. It is thanks to success of neighboring countries especially Chad in routing out the renegade fighters. As to the pilot issue did you know that the bush terrain is not actually deserted terrain? Hundred of thousands of civillians are living there. So how did you know they are terrorists praying? Let me tell you the terrorists will never congregate into large numbers to pray they are not fools. The basic rule of guerilla warfare is to spread to reduce casualty. Even when they are video taping their military prowes did you notice that they are very few personnels in the video usually less than 100. The secret of their support and recruitment is the level of civillian collateral damage by the Nig. Army.
The rise of civillian vigilantee is the main motive behind the downfall of Boko haram, ask any troop the civillians are in the forefront of the battle even though they dont have weapons but what they have is the mysterious bullet repellant. Theres a case of an officer shooting head of vigilante 4 times in Adamawa but could not penetrate and he ran away. Now ask these question the vigilante have only dane guns, knives, swords and sticks while BH Have all the modern guns but how many vigilante were killed in action compared to missions they partake. Any confirmed number?
On the issue of politics who won an election while sponsoring or supporting BH? Nobody can have a vote from affected northern civillians. This is the north elections were held all over the states. Unlike a certain areas where results were written without any election.
In 2011 there is election violence in one or two states in the north and some in the south but the news is Violence in the North in 2015 violence in the south nobody is saying anything. Life is life none is better than other. If this is the north all media houses will be castigating North by this time

The Igbos are politically naive.
They should have planned ahead and make sure they calculate the political entity and as Rochas said diversify their politics against Jealousy and ethnic hatred.
Lets look at the outgoing government which part of the country benefits most? NORTH.
All the first 5 positions only 1 is from the south
President=South
Vice Pres=North
Senate Pres=North
Speaker=North
Chief Judge=North
This is not a good system I believe we have good personalities from all zones of the country.
Apart from these we (North) rejects PDP. But we are smart to allow some pockets of PDP as an insurance policy,
Now a senate president or house speaker cant go to the SE atleast within the next 4 years. WHY?
No single Senator or Member in the majority chamber.
As it is currently it will take atleast 8-12 years of active vigorous planning and zone alianing to have a president of Nigeria from SE.
I personally hate zoning but thats collateral dispensation in Nigeria's politics.
The SE Should put their house in order and plan for the future and also drop Jealousy and hatered of other zones.

A new dawn

Apc

Firefire are you going soft?
Sanity is returning to NIGERIA

Barca how market?
Jonah and PDP are goners. Decamping to APC is not going to make them strong party members. They met a complete house and have to live according to landlord's wish

Gone

Crime



shachris:
check the voter turnout. more 80 percent. that is impossible in nigeria bro.

actually Kano have more than 4.5 million registered voters of which just above 2 million actually voted ie less than 50% turnout likewise katsina just less than 70% turnout. What is the %tage turnout of Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Bayelsa & Anambra?

Politics is a game of longsightednes and advance preparation. The SE fail to learn this over the decades.
They are always pulling their best shots at presidency down by themselves. Today who did they have that they can forwar to the nation to be voted into presidency?
And they always complain of marginalisation

Too Late

The masses have spoken. Now that GMB is the president-elect it doesnt mean he have much to celebrate because he have a lot of challenges ahead just as he aptly says at the chatam house interview session in UK that the youths are not going to be patience or accept any excuse of economic challenges or bureucracy, all they know is he have to deliver. And that is exactly correct.
I am an ardent supporter of the General since 2003, but that doesn't mean i am going to be an persistant supporter anymore my support is going to be conditional ie based on his performance in office.
If he fails I wouldn't hesitate to change my support to any other candidate that can succeed.
From now on the politicians will never take the masses for granted. Perform or have yourself kicked out of office.
The major challenges ahead for the General are:
1. Security all over the nation.
2. Corruption.
3. Dwindling federal revenue/economy.
4. Utilities (ELECTRICITY, transportation, water supply ).
5. Job creation.
Any failure in one of the above 5 points will make Nigerians abandon him for another candidate in 4 years time.

What a shame

Actually they dont exist.
In the whole kebbi state there is none.
Sokoto i heard a rumour that there is one opposite state politechnic (but when i visited the place I found out it is a conventional primary school).
Zamfara none.
Niger none.
Kano heard rumour of one but nobody can point out the school to my knowledge.
Kaduna none.
These are the states that I personally visit to check out such schools for research.
Pls. We need enlightenment of these schools adresses. Contributions were highly appreciated

The nation of fools. If somebody that fail deserve the second shot. What about the person that succeeded what did he deserve?

johnydon22:
Simple question... You think marrying a 6year old is right?

simple question what is the politically correct age of marriage?

truthman2012:
Muslim (8:3311)
Bukhari (6:298)
Muslim (8:3460)
Bukhari (4:232)
Bukhari (6:300)
Bukhari (93:639).

None of the above quotation exist. Be reasonable the Op raised a question that he believe beats imagination and want enlightenment nothing wrong with that but what about you?
If you want to contribute do a reasonable research

johnydon22:
Do you think it's moral to do so?

morality doesnt mean the same thing to all cultures or nationality. The issue of marriage is different from community to community. Or are you telling me your parents and g/parents are immoral?
Even in the England and European royal houses they used to do the same thing. Does that mean immoral? Nowadays things are changing.
On the moral issue do you belive nature is immoral by making girls to reach puberty early?
What age is the right age to marry on your conscience and remember to change nature to suit that age.
It is just like the sunrise to sunset which is 7 am to 7pm in Nigeria but can be 5am to 10pm in london in certain season

No he married her at 6 and taken to her matrimony home at 9. And that does not mean he slept with her at that time. In Islam There are things that a wife must know before having sex with her husband.
Also It is forbidden to have sex with a girl that did not start mensturating. Can a 9 years old girl mensturate?
Most girls start mensturation at 13-15 years.

Coming home to roast. Such crises are expected in such militant terrorist agenda

The incoming President GMB
