The top picture looks more like UNIBEN to me.

NavierStokes:
"Chi bene commincia e meta dell opera" as they would say, to begin well is half-done. These guys have started abysmally and leaves nothing to be desired. Wait until they blame obailala before you understand they have virtually nothing to offer.

Lol... I didnt expect the new government to start perfectly well, APC is a party formed just 3 years ago and they still obviously haven't got themselves together especially now that they occupy the presidency. Unfortunately, it would take some time before they get their act together. Also, you will not agree with me but I've always had a strong believe that when you 'reduce' corruption (I didn't say 'eliminate' cos that's not possible), a lot of things could be achieved. With the present 'gra-gra' against corruption, you would agree with me that the present crop of leaders we have are now more wary of indiscriminately pocketing public funds. That is the first step at 'reducing' corruption. It's just too sad that the calamitous oil price is dancing reggae on top Buhari's destiny. I am quite confident the present admin would make some 'positive' impact and I pray oil prices return to a reasonable amount cos that would mean much greater impact than all other past administrations.

NavierStokes:
I recall a certain somebody "manifesting" or "roadmapping" 5000MW per year during the campaigns, meaning we should have been somewhere around 10000MW cumulative by this "one" year in office, I recall a certain somebody saying 6 months was enough for one to witness noticeable changes, the question in this case should be "what have they done since they got into power?" If the kitchen is too hot then somebody should...

Bla bla bla... those are mere campaign bullshit talk which all politicians try to outdo themselves with during elections. Even after its continuous failire for 16 years, pdp still made similar fictitious promises. But the fact is that apc still has over 3 years to redeem itself.

Degis:
You better wake up from your slumber. Has all the years Buhari spent on planning on becoming President materialised in any meaningful development till date?. It is obvious that even the first 10 months of Obasanjo, Yar'adua and GEJ recorded better accomplishments than this current administration, which has elevated mediocrity into statecraft and junketing into Governance.

An APC Executive and Legislature controlling party just like PDP days couldn't band together to pull the country out of this end game recession but deem it fit to band together settle petty or childish quarrels

My summation is APC a fraud just like PDP. Our nation must seek a third force. The youths must rise up and stand up to the fact that we must take our country back from these frauds. God help Nigeria

Kindly list the achievements of OBJ in his first 10 months besides changing senate presidents and speakers countless times?

Also kindly name the achievements of gej in his first 10 months besides breaking the pot and sharing/squandering $20billion ECA funds?

For any reasonable government, substantial time is spent planning and you can not do that properly when you are out of office since you do not know the true details of the rot.

Most of the problems we face today, whether you agree or not are standard teething problems for a new administration but the issues have been exacerbated by the calamitous drop in revenue and the fact that the predecessor deliberately handed over a mess.

After 16 years of pdp, Apc asked pdp this question. But pdp now wants to throw the question back only after 10 months of apc (even when apc still has more than 3 years to redeem itself)?

Pdp could not fix our rotten power sector in 16 years, but now they expect apc to miraculously fix the heap of poo they left behind in 10 months?

This is a pure case of buffoonery!

Nigeria importing CRUDE OIL?... All these blogs sef!

All the people destroying Imo state all gathered in one room. I can see the biggest one called Iwuanyanwu.

koboko69:
Lalasticlala mynd44 pick up the call and let Nairalanders and Nigerians see the economic team Jonathanians want us to invite to save the economy

QUICK POLL

In this economic situation who will manage the Economy better

Like for Adeosun the MANAGER and share for Okonjor the BORROWER

The result of this poll is evil; 403 likes vs 13 shares as at 11:57. The weeping zombs are sure avoiding this thread like a plague.

charix:
Whoever worded the title on frontpage needs a refund for their education.

I taya oo! I couldn't find anywhere within the report where it says meter will increase power supply. The rate of misinformation and deliberate twisting of stories these days by our media men is amazing.

londoner:
Can someone explain how the 300,000 Meters will improve the supply of electricity?
Thanks.

I think the person who posted this report on the frontpage or the person who titled the report is the one that needs to answer this question. Cos nowhere within the report did it say that meters will improve power supply.

Hmmm, not just salaries.

christinie:
One day Bubu will ban a whole community and you will still support him. The stipends must be very useful to you. Keep it up. Jobs are not so easy to come by nowadays so even e-defence comes so handy.

Sorry I'm not in your wretched class. Try again!

Hmm... action film don start!

But in a serious note, the hatred in this Nigeria is now too much, I give up. I really cant understand why the north has so much hatred for the SE. By all fair judgement, the hatred should be the other way around.

Developed nations are looking for ways to merge together and be stronger; undeveloped nations are looking for how to split into a million pieces.

Which way Nigeria?

christinie:
Several respondents? Hahahahahahahahahaha so who is the defendant/plaintiff?

The so called respondents are about 3 paid e-jobbers whose job is to defend Buhari and APC against all odds.

I will never be among those who will sell my country Nigeria and her people because of few monthly stipends and occasional plates of rice. Never!

Just like somepne mentioned, the thought of losing the last election still makes your heart bleed. But it is your personal decision to lift yourself out of the emotional trauma and misery. But if you want to dwell in it, so be it. The twin issues of banning rice imports and acquiring of improved grass seeds are commonsensical issues which do not need undue politicising. You may not be selling your country but you have obviously sold your ability for critical reasoning on the platter of emotional politics.

The ban on importation of rice 'through land borders' is a very good policy. Whether you hate it or love it, whether you hate the policy makers or love them, that is your cold cup of kunu. But it doesnt change the fact that it is a progressive policy which would boost local production and enhance revenue generation for customs.

Similarly, the importation of special improved grass seedlings for planting in cattle reserves in Nigeria is a good plan. Just the same way Nigeria imported improved flood resistance rice seedlings some years ago and today we're enjoying a rice revolution with our rice production increasing by the day. Once again, it doesnt matter whether you like it or hate it, it remains a good plan to boost our agriculture.

Shortyy:
And I'm telling you that most of them aren't PDP.

Sorry most arent pdp, they are apga.

Stanleychimezie opens a thread, posts a looong write-up, and the source of this write-up happens to be his personal blog, mezietimes.

christinie:
All I understand from your write-up is that it is justified for our Bubu to care for cattle more than human. Thanks for the lecture.

Whatever rocks your boat dear! Like I always say, it's hardly possible to wake someone who is 'faking' their sleep. Reading through the thread, it's obvious that you have been told all you need to know by several respondents. But your case isnt a lack of info as I thought earlier, it's rather an obstinate desire to maintain your left-right paradigm stance of "If Buhari says YES, I must say NO."

So once again I'd say, whatever rocks your boat dear. You are right, Buhari prefers food to be available for his 4-legged siblings than for humans. You are advised to hold on tightly to your PVC cos 2019 is just around the corner so you can vote out the animal lover. Thanks!

christinie:
I laugh at your ignorance dear.

Kwa kwa kwa.

Lol

I was sarcastically mocking your own ignorance, but I'm sure you didn't notice that. Read and get the right info before you open such amusing threads.

FYI, Nigeria is trying to be self sufficient in food production; hence the ban on rice importation in order to support its local production. Now isnt the time to start encouraging indiscriminate importation.

On the other hand, the grass being imported is a special grass seedling and it is meant for planting and production here in Nigeria and not eating. Once again, now isnt the time to encourage importation of anything for direct consumption.

christinie:
What kind of a president bans rice importation for human consumption and okays grass importation for cow consumption?

God is watching.

Black man only knows how to consume, why dont you go and eat the rice produced in Nigeria to promote more local production?... Or better still, you can start eating grass instead since you only want to eat imported things. Or like someone suggested, you can eat the cow that ate the imported grass and by doing that, you would have indirectly eaten the imported grass.

Igobang:
Charity begins at home, go and investigate Eco Atlantic. Billions of Dollars have been poured into the Atlantic Ocean for over 5 years now.

What is my business with eco atlantic and why do you keep referring to eko atlantic?.... Is your mind so tribally depraved that you cannot discuss anything without involving tribalism?... And most senseless is the fact that in your bid to turn an argument to tribal competition, you keep throwing your arrow to the wrong direction.


And while I may have no tribal links with your eco atlantic, I know a little thing or two about it by merely reading and feeding my knowledge online. Obviously you are ignorant of the fact that eko atlantic isn't a government project but rather a private investment.

theshadyexpress:
you're still running in circles

1) you admit you have have no idea of how much has been spent so far on the said projects

2) Sahara only gave figures of the monies budgeted not money released which are two different things

3) though i beg to differ that the jobs are far from basic standards because sahara are known for sensationalism and over-exaggeration of facts to suit their purpose

4) Oduah have not denied it but Oduah have not accepted,infact Oduah have debunked the report which is more acceptable

5)you still havent proven any case against the senator

I am not proving any case against anybody, that is not my job. As a concerned Nigerian, I would only lend my voice to the call for a proper investigation.

While I admit I am not aware of the amount of funds released, it is obvious you are not also aware but have been running in blank circles. If that amount was budgetted, so how much was released? .... shouldnt you who claims to be informed tell us?.... or at least, the person being accused can come up with "insufficient funds were released" as a defense. But you have quickly jumped into defensive even while running around in circles. I am only lending my voice to the call for investigation by those who are informed. I am not judging nobody.

Igobang:
If airport is hurting u becos it is located in SE, how that one take be my problem? Eh ya, get well soon from your mental condition.

It is good that u have confirmed by yourself that, u dey craze...

Well, I am a Nigerian and I am hurt when I remember that Nigeria which has no reason being a 3rd world slum is a actually one. Secondly, I am from the SE and as much as it's your business, it is also my business if the only international airport in my zone is upgraded only to crappy standards even when the funds for a proper job may have been released. And most of all, I am worried and pained that it is fellow south easterners for the sake of some silly political affiliations/allegiances that encourage, glorify and defend acts that shortchange the SE even whilst we still go out and claim on a later date that it is marginalisation.

Now going by your imbecilic response above aboit me being pained there is an airport in Enugu, I do not know what on earth would make a normal human reason in such a way or spew such senselessness. But only God can deliver us from this mental slavery.

theshadyexpress:
you cant determine if a job was poorly done if you dont have a detailed breakdown of funds made available for the project, if you have the breakdown you can match it with the workdone to see if it is commensurate with it. The minister only works with funds made available to the ministry and from internal sources in the ministry, and it is common knowledge that all government ministries are poorly funded due to limited federal revenue amidst competing government priorities.
there is no where in the publication that it was said the full sum for the project was provided to the minister, so pls cut the bullshit

Well, I am not privy to the exact funds which were made available, but my argument is purely based on the figures raised by SR which up till now, has not yet been denied by the people they accused.

Regarding whether the job was poorly done or not, the report by SR also claims the runway and terminal jobs are still a far cry from basic standards. Once again, no denials have been made in this regard so that report is what I base my comments on. Or do you have any contrary position on the figures quoted and the quality of the job?....

Finally, if you read through my responses, I haven't really judged anyone. I am only in support of proper investigations.

Igobang:
I would appreciate ur concern wen the SE had no airport and the people had to take a 6/8 hours bus ride to catch a plane from Lagos.

Paying and spending Nights in Hotels and risking their life on the poor federal high way.

Now that an Airport has been built and operation in the last three years, your concern is not relevant.

You can go over the detail of the project as much as you want. U are also free to go over the cost as much as u want.

It does not change the fact that Airplane will be landing and taking off from Enugu with passengers.

It does not change the fact that the SE can boost of a Federal Airport terminal and Federal presence.

Wat u should concern yourself with is the billions of Niger Delta Oil money being poured into the Atlantic Ocean in the name of land reclamation.

The billion of dollar poured into the Ocean could have built Eco Atlantic or at least the project will be at an advance stage.

To many minds in the SE have already been mentally depraved by hopelessly senseless and self-hurting tribalism (especially since the GEJ era to date). It's so widespread that any one who even dares to think differently is instantly banished automatically to the SW (not even from the north or middlebelt or SS). Whilst I marvel at such simple-mindedness, I can't help but feel worried and sorry for my own people.

The rate at which we jump into the defensive mode defending even those that hurt us is quite disturbing. But I think I'm already used to seeing this and hearing this sort of argument. At this time, only God can deliver us from this mental slavery.

theshadyexpress:
common sense is indeed not common and you are the specimen i used in coming to this conclusion. it is one thing to award a contract and it is another thing to execute it.

there are countless numbers of contracts awarded that are yet to be executed in nigeria, contract award is useless without execution, execution is what matters the most as it gives the contract a face of reality.

i dont expect zombies to understand all i wrote, they are only programmed to think in one direction

On the contrary, you are the one with the zombie instincts else you should have understood the sarcasm in my message. Now since you are incapable of discerning simple statements, may I spell out my message using the most simple words, "who should be blamed for the poor job done?"

Igobang:
Yorubas wat is the problem?

Y the constant attention seeking?

Na only una waka come?

Ride on aunty Stella, they have already lost and failed. That is Y dey are pained.

Na wa oo.... So in this whole story it is only the tribal aspect you are able to see?.... What has really gone wrong with the psyche of Nigerian youths?

N23billion was released for the upgrade of Enugu airport runway and terminals. The upgrade of the runway was to make it a kilometre longer to enable larger planes (international) land at the airport. The upgrade of the terminal was to get it to international standard.

Now to start with, N10bn is more than enough to build an entirely new runway, but someone ended up doing a shaby extension work on the old bad runway and now large international airlines are wary of the airport.

Then we have N13bn for the upgrade of the terminal, under normal conditions, that amount would build a massive new international standard terminal. But what do we have today, we have a glorified airstrip at enugu after N23bn has gone down the drain and and large airlines are wary of the airport.

Now this is supposed to be the only international airport servicing the SE axis, but an allegation like this is made and all you as a south easterner can do is to reduce it to tribalism?..... What kind of self hate is this?... This attitude has to be a broad form of the stockholm syndrome. Just recently, the ipob group claimed it was hausa and yoruba marginalisation / manipulation that led to the unavailability of a common tarmac shuttle bus at the enugu airport and you all cheered on. Now an allegation like this is made and instead of you to support a proper investigation, your mind can only think of tribal persecution against the woman?..... wow!

So Stella did not award the contracts for the upgrade of the Enugu Airport yet we have been praising her all along?

Now we need to know the exact person who should take that glory for the upgrade (and also, the accompanying blame for the poor job).

Shortyy:
Even 80% is wrong, pdp isn't much there. Mr intellectual oya bye.

80% is just a hyperbolic estimate. The point being passed was that MOST of the states are pdp.

Specialiste:
....i don't think the reason for the low milk production is simply because of the grass...no...i have a poultry and i know that egg, meat production is astonishing behind closed doors compared to free ranging birds which roam. cows, cattle can never do well when their lives are spent roaming the country as nomads by their herdsmen, its never possible. i've had broilers reach weights more than 5kg and their bird feed is made locally. I'm still wondering how the nomadic cows would benefit from imported grass. my opinion though.

cc: yom alex, obai lala, An yi3, cjfav.our

In addition to getting the high nutrient grass, the plan also includes restricting the movement of the cattle to confined reserves where the grasses would be planted. That should solve point you just made.

lilprinze:
APC is the biggest scam in the history of Nigeria

At least APC hasnt broken your hero's record of mediocrity yet.

As at handover in May 2015, power supply was 1327mw. Go figure!
http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/183496-nigerias-power-generation-at-all-time-low-crashes-to-1327mw.html

okosodo:
This is what happens when we get angry with jona and give the country to some group of abookis to play football with

I always try not to do the blame game by comparing with a forgotten past, but it is clear you jonathanian wailers are always the ones bringing up the comparisons and blame game.

Between your GEJ who spent over 5 years (with oil boom) and a Buhari who has spent less than 1 year and who only got his first budget passed some days ago, who do you honestly think is more culpable in our rotten power infrastructure?

FYI, your lord and saviour, the messiah GEJ handed over to Buhari, a broken down, rotten power infrastructure which was generating a paltry 1327mw as at handover on May 2015.
http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/183496-nigerias-power-generation-at-all-time-low-crashes-to-1327mw.html

So the next time you want to make conparisons, just now the joke is on you; ignorance isn't an excuse.

Sunnycliff:
And yet, this is CHANGE! Who is more clueless: One who made us have a steady range of 4000 mw or one Who has given us less than #3000mw of steady electricity??

My annoyance is the type of words Fashola and Buhari were talking against the past Administration!

I am still looking for the Jet Explanation of this decreasing level of power supply daily as APC team insisted saying that 24/7 power supply is no rocket science!

Power has been a problem in Nigeria even before I was born and NO, under your GEJ, Nigeria never had a steady 4000mw; quit inflicting yourself with selective amnesia. As a matter of fact, as at 1st May 2015, power dropped to 2800mw
http://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/182309-nigerias-power-generation-drops-to-2800mw.html

And then as at end May 2015, the same power dropped further to less than 2000mw (lowest ever). 1327mw to be specific.
http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/183496-nigerias-power-generation-at-all-time-low-crashes-to-1327mw.html

Going by your logic and argument, 1327mw is the power level which your almighty GEJ handed over to Buhari. So quit all these unintelligent selective amnesia arguments, put politics aside and let's face the real issues.

The power infrastructure in the country is so rotten that it would require a whole lot of 'wisdom of Solomon' reasoning to solve it especially when considering that the cash requirement of a total overhaul of the system isnt available. The present administration has 3 more years to prove themselves worthy by doing something about these incessant fluctuations from 5000mw to 2000mw.
