It has always been there but it has escalated to unprecedented heights.

You must be a child with zero knowledge of Nigeria or a disgusting sycophant.

Mbeki:
Benue people are the dumbest people ever. The more they are oppressed the more they become loyal to their oppressors. A typical Tiv, Idoma and Igede persons prefers their generations to be wiped out by fulanis than have anything to do with the Igbos. The Fulanis will kill them and nothing will happen. By 2019, they will still vote in another gambari. Their memory capacity is 1 mb. Fools fight back as men!

Your problem is that you're defining Sahara Reporters and you're relating them to Punch or Guardian that are standard news papers, they're not and they never told you they are...They are Online political Blog in the thick of Nigeria's dirty politics and they get their relevance by knowing the dirtiest secrets of the politicians...I'm not praising them, I don't care about their operations, but Imagine that this story is about Buhari, FFK would have been gloating in it right now, and some of you who are complaining will not raise an eyebrow, you will rather take it as gospel truth. That is what we're doing for ourselves in this country, has long as it fits our narratives, we don't have problem, we praise the source, we only complain when it doesn't favor us.

mpowa:
Who told you that's the scope of their job? Are you the one that will define for them what they've decided to do with their platform? They've always focused on politicians and their inner secret details, I don't see this different.

Which one be ikebe superstory again?

mpowa:
What is their Job?

EternalTruths:
It can, from the look of the dropping water that he pressurized to drop harder.

Also the alternator used, is the same size as Tiger Gen alternators.

What I planned to advice the guy, is to

1) dam the gutter using concrete that is 5ft tall and 10 feet towards the bridge

2) use multiple alternators to increase the Watts produced.

3) Sell to the village.

EternalTruths:
200W is small
if the power generated by a Tiger Generator is higher

What is the power generated by Tiger Generator.?

Donkay82:
really? Read what you wrote again! What is 200w? I must comment too they worry you

naijapips04:
Please if you have any picture of buhari commissioning any project HE started and completed in any of his tenure from 1983 to 2018 share and win yourself N1k recharge card of any network of your choice.

Offer valid while stocks last.

Ovamboland:
Good idea and nice attempt at harnessing renewable energy.
However that cannot give anything close to 200 MW.
Maybe 200w can be produced at peak flow of water.

Jochabed:
Honestly, it will take God,but Nigeria is not in order. The cows are owned by individuals not the government,why then will these killer herdsmen bring them to a private space? I really don't know but these herdsmen gained so much confidence when President Buhari came into power.

you really should have ignored that troll and internet nuisance, he'll troll you to death and keep you going in circles with the same repetitive dumb, unintelligent and ignorant essays.

I have zero tolerance for that troll.

LordAdam16:
[s]How about you take your own advice?

Confirm your figures before posting it as gospel truth. How is that so difficult to do, that you have to be so recklessly adamant?



Trash!

Are you going to show me where I said GEJ spent nothing or not?

Don't misquote me, then try to lecture me on literary devices when I call you out on your st*pidity.



I asked a very simple question you've refused to answer. If three successive governments spent over $19b on one project (and a fourth one is still spending) and the project isn't complete yet, is that project a good idea?

Answer the question and stop foaming in your mouth.



I'll repeat myself, since it appears it got lost on you the first time.

LordAdam16:
You did not say "over $8b." And $8.26b is not $8.5b.

Cross-check your figures before posting them or you'll be called out. Very simple.

Dumbito, is this not part of the same post?

And then I asked where did I state GEJ spent nothing, and then you went on a shameful tirade.

Now who has comprehension problems?

Your madness don enter new gear.

GEJ spent over $8b on NIPP in 5 years -- https://www.businessdayonline.com/fg-spends-8-26bn-on-power-sector-inaugurates-nipp-olorunsogo-ogun/

Yar'Adua spent over $5b on NIPP in 2 years -- https://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/08/power-sector-senate-probes-obj-yaradua-jonathan/

OBJ spent over $6b on the same NIPP in 2 years.

Note that they are the same links you provided.

Now let me ask you, if three successive governments spent over $19b on one project (and a fourth one is still spending) and the project isn't complete yet, is that project a good idea? I don't know what your problem is. Why are trying so hard to be s*lly?

Yar'Adua and GEJ had already zeroed their mind to privatize PHCN, but they had to meet the power generation commitments started by OBJ. Buhari is also meeting the same[b] commitments. The NIPP is a white elephant project[/b]. So again I ask, who is more wasteful?

Since you have trouble comprehending, the question is why did you have to mention the drop during the handover week, without stating the reason?

Your entire post reeked of "it happened under GEJ, so keep shut about it happening under PMB," but you didn't give any perspective. How hard would it have been for you to explain why the collapse is usual, and use GEJ or Yar'Adua or OBJ's time as an example.

Your post was more about demonizing GEJ and his efforts in the electricity sector than explaining why the collapse under PMB was not unusual.

If you can't be objective abstain from making cynical jabs.

Maybe you should cross-check figures before posting them. I know I do.

And you're yet to show me where I said GEJ spent nothing. Since you have comprehension problems.

obailala:
POWER SECTOR SPEND
Firstly, cant you hear how incoherent you sound?... You first claimed OBJ wasted $16billion, then you claimed GEJ didn't spend much on the power sector...... (you obviously were blind to the word 'much')

.....But then, you emphatically stated that GEJ spent nothing on the power sector, but below are some reports which claims he spent over $8 billion..... (you obviously expect me to break everything down to kindergarten level for you right?... You are ignorant of the use of hyperboles to lay emphasis right?)

It's not blabbing when I provide links and facts to back my arguments, whereas you're either typing out of your a** or making unsubstantiated statements.

Yar'Adua spent $5b on NIPP in 2 yers. GEJ spent $8b on NIPP in 5 years. Maybe you should help me find out how much OBJ spent on the NIPP in 2 years.

Right now, the NIPP is like the refineries.

I maintain that the bulk of OBJ's $16b spending was not on the NIPP, like you erroneously assumed. And I backed it up with facts.

The bottom line is that if OBJ hadn't constituted the NIPP, Yar'Adua wouldn't have to spend that $5b, and GEJ wouldn't have had to spend $8b (if they did, it would have been on more useful things like rural electrification and improving transmission capacity). And I bet Buhari is spending his own billions. Yet OBJ would have clearly spent above $10b. So who among the three was wasteful?

I don't know why it's hard for you to think critically. I know you're capable of doing so, but for reasons best known to you, you choose not to.

So why did you bloody mention that GEJ handed over 2000MW if you weren't trying to be mischievous?

Do you hear yourself?

You know there was a reason why it fell to 2000MW. You know it was usually around 4500MW under GEJ. Yet you felt the need to mention that on the week of the handover, it fell to below 2000MW without stating the reason why. Does that not reek of political meandering?



My simple question is that why did you have to mention that it dropped below 2000MW on the week before handover without stating the reason why? Even more importantly, why did you have to share that information, without being objective to explain why, in the same post that you were accusing GEJ of being corrupt and wasteful?

Or do you think you're conversing with a kid?

I've told you. This is a new year. Leave those your stupid*ty and political mischief in 2017.

-Lord

LordAdam16:
Can you show me where I said GEJ spent nothing?

It seems you are daft? If I said he spent nothing, then what money did he spend on "completing existing power plants, boosting transmission capacity, and rural electrification."

Or is the NIPP not part of "existing power plants"? None of the pages you quoted said $8.5b. If you had said over $8b, I'd not have asked you to provide a quote.

If OBJ did most of the hard work like you claimed, why did Yar'Adua in only 2 years have to spend $5b on the same project? OBJ started the NIPP in 2004, a year after his re-election. He had already spent most of that $16b in his first tenure. It was in 2005 that the Electric Power Sector Reform Act called for the unbundling of PHCN.

And how is it that "most of the expensive heavy equipment, turbines etc. were already procured and were rotting away in the ports" for the NIPP were actually imported in 2003, one whole year before the NIPP was conceived. http://shipsandports.com.ng/nebo-takes-delivery-of-248-phcn-containers-abandoned-for-10-years/. Later if I insult you, you'll say it's uncalled for.

All OBJ did was start a very expensive project that other administrations had to complete or risked being called out for discontinuation of projects when we didn't have electricity. Yar'Adua didn't want to pay, that's why funding was halted for more than one year. If all you could find about GEJ's electricity expenses was on this same expensive, glorified NIPP project that he was compelled to finish, then it shows how bereft of common sense you are.

Yet in the same page you quoted, this was the first part of the article:

You see how mischievous you are?

It was at a peak of 4,500MW on April 2015 and you are saying because of the strike that took it below 2,000MW in only ONE month, then it means GEJ did nothing in the power sector? See how stup*d that sounds?

And by the way peak power on First of January, 2018 is 4,685.30 MW. So are you telling me Buhari has added only 185MW in over 2 years?

Are you normal at all?

-Lord

LordAdam16:
You have started this nonsense in 2018.

GEJ did not spend $8.5b on the electricity sector. Provide a quote to back that up.

GEJ privatized the sector. That's what he did for most of his tenure. Every money spent was in completing existing power plants, boosting transmission capacity, and rural electrification. The money he realized from selling off the generation and distribution part of PHCN was used to pay gratuity to the workers. Every last kobo of it. It is on record.

OBJ wasted $16b on power, yet you guys were falling at his feet in 2015. If I were to blame him, I wouldn't say it's because of the amount he wasted, because he was our first president in the fourth republic and he at least had to try to make it work under government hands. What I'd condemn him for is how long it took him to realize that he had to privatize the sector. It took him too long.

Why do you think he decided to sell the refineries?

GEJ got elected, saw all the stats and knew throwing money down the pan would not yield anything tangible. He also found that restructuring NEPA to PHCN didn't do much either, so he decided to unbundle it and let the government run only the transmission part. It is that same transmission part that has collapsed an average of 30 times annually since 2014. Including in 2015, 2016, 2017, and yesterday was the first of this year. It would collapse again before this month is over.

All of you politicizing power in Nigeria are completely disgraceful.

And Nigeria was not generating 2000 MW when GEJ handed over. We have a bloody government-established website tracking power generation in Nigeria--https://nsong.org.

It gives daily updates. The peak and lowest generation always varies and it's been between 4000-5000MW peak and 2500-38000MW off-peak since 2014. Occasionally, it drops below 2000MW, like it did in March 2016 when it dropped to 1580MW -- https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/03/power-generation-drops-to-1580-6mw/.

So, don't be stup*d! If you have nothing tangible to say, sh*t your trap!

-Lord

stellx:
The rudderlessness of the Buhari government is a new low in the history of Nigeria. Bear in mind that this " system collapse" is coming about 24 hours after his much criticized empty new year speech that sounded more like a campaign manifesto in which he ululated his 7000 mw power generation.

On power, he claims we are at an all time high in power generation but you and I know that our power sector has been bedevilled by poor distribution networks. So why the constant chest-beating when all the megawatts generated is not reaching our homes.

Under this administration, our teaming youths have borne the short end of this democracy as it has made small the unemployment "wahala" we witnessed under the PDP era.

I am no card carrying member of any political party in the land but with the way this country is being run, I see "Iran" being slowly replicated sooner in Nigeria.
