Are you enjoying adequate power supply in here area?

Were you enjoying Adequate power 4 years ago?

For God's sake, This Companies took control of their discos and Gencos less than 2 years ago.. And you expect them to wave a magic wand and give you constant electricity?

That's the problem with Nigeria.. We want everything sharp sharp..

Most of these companies just finished consolidating their controls over their various assets and are in the process of updating their customers database and planning for a better distribution protocol..

All of which are on hold right now due to the uncertainty and rumours that the incoming government will buy back the Discos and Gencos

omenka:
Totally in support. Government officials just used proxies to buy for themselves fragments of PHCN all in the name of privatisation, and now one can't even get 5hours steady electricity in a day. The stuff that went on was one of the biggest frauds accomplished under the outgoing admin and must be revisited.

Privatisation was meant to enhance efficiency and service delivery, but what we are getting is a complete opposite of that.

I don't wanna believe you're a robot that supports everything APC spews..

Reversing the privatization will take Nigeria back by 5 years. Not to talk of the financial burden it will place on the "nearly empty" federal treasury.

The only Option the FG has if it wants to reverse the privatization is to buy it back at a price much more than what the companies paid for their disco..

And doing that will certainly scare other investors from participating in the next bid and erode investors confidence.

Because one thing investors hate is uncertainty..

And then, there's another point to consider, What makes you think the next bids will be better than the first?

These people complaining are merely doing so because they missed out and believe that now they are close to the government, they stand a better chance of buying one of the discos and gencos

The question is why is this the only Federal project initiated by GEJ to pacify his strongest base and his so called pillar of support to be tolled for 3 decades? Are you not bothered per the fact that your so called friend and the man you not only supported x 2 soled you off and swindled you n this manner?




Going back to seek adjustment and reconfiguration of the contract and concession agreement is a direct admission that this is a bad deal so why are you are arguing against the same fact you just acknowledge? Or you just feel like talking for talking sake? And is it set in stone that this is doable by the next administration and agreeable by JB?




As it stands today, yes they are heading back to Germany with the bridge because even though the bridge is over padded at N117 billion, you are going to end up paying them many times over and the money is heading straight to Germany and not your communities. So, they are taking the cost of this bridge many times over straight to Germany and that's money collected from your people for 30 years.




Very meaningless and redundant I must say...

And your point?

Whatever that point is doesn't take away the fact that the bridge is under construction..

Your epistles cannot change that.. So save the energy for more important fights

aresa:
JB is funding the bridge, but ibo people, the primary end users are going to pay tolls to JB for 30 long years to use that bridge so how exactly is this GEJ's project?

For 30 years, your money is heading straight to Germany...

GEJ awarded many direct projects in other parts of the country and they ate fully funded by the FG, but not when it comes to the SE, he refused to do direct contract award fully funded by the FG, he instead sold the SE off to JB for 30 years...

GEJ is basically saying pay for your own damn bridge.. And after the entire SE people finished paying for the bridge 30 years later, the bridge goes back to the FG and not the people of SE or any state in SE.


GEJ didn't do you any favors, set you up for 30 worth of payment for what's still not going to be yours 30 years later....smh...

Lemme just reply you this once..

The most important thing is that finally, the bridge is under construction regardless of the method of financing and the contract...

When the bridge is finally completed, we'll revisit the tolls and the other terms.. Then we'll see if it's beyond the government of the day to buy back that concession..

or will JB carry the bridge on their head back to Germany if somehow the terms of the concession becomes impossible to meet?

Lesson: Do not try to get by force something you can get through deception..

agabaI23:
That's correct, someone said that some of the chinese who built some our power plants made sure that the mannual was written in Chinese or not available at all.

You will have to find out if the template is still there. Nigerians are smart that is why they repair 2014 cars but we all know what happens after.

And again, competency is relative. Many of our locally trained engineers have never entered real workshops. They might be booksmart but not practical smart. They will need time for that transformation. I don't where they were assembled from though.

Sir, they need time to study the template if it is available,
They need time to evaluate the extent of disrepair,
They need time to order for parts or fabricate parts here
They need time to get ready
It is simple logistics and project management. Idea may have been conceived and decision reached a year ago but projects conception, implementation and delivery take time. Don't they?

They time from January 2012 to October 2014 is roughly 2 years.
Factor in everything and objectively as a project manager for government project what would be your delivery time. Remember the time used for contacting the first and second companies.

Give me what you think should be the lead time of the project

I enjoyed your discourse with jaybee3 very much..

Kulas:
This was the agreement he reached yesterday with Tinubu that He MUST be given the APC guber ticket in Ondo during the next Election on the CONDITION that he MUST decamp to APC before the election as way of making the public to see that APC is waxing stronger and counter the negative effect the defection of Rivers state deputy governor to PDP has done to APC.

Wrong calculation if you ask me...

Mimiko can frustrate him, impeach him, give EFCC an indisputable reason to arraign and convict him..

He'll be busy trying to save his ass and clear his name that he won't remember guber ticket..

And APC won't risk giving him the ticket with such negative baggage..

Unlike Ikuru who has nothing to lose from his defection

I knew this would happen..

The deputy governor made a very very wrong political calculation

Caseless:
Obayaya, have u seen it?

Yes sir!!!

You kept your word

Obiagelli:
Since when did FIRS start collecting crude oil revenue?

Btw using words like breaking it down to my level does not make you any smart. Go and read the FIRS link.

FG's revenue comes in 3 forms

1st - Royalties collected by DPR

2nd - Petroleum Profit Tax Collected by FIRS

3rd - Profit Sharing Contracts Collected by NNPC.

There are 7 colours in the rainbow

Rawani:
Why is Jonathan tolerating this impunity? This is in direct defiance of redeployment orders from the IGP and the Presidency. General Buhari has promised to prosecute electoral offenders like Mbu, so he is only filling the remainder of his cup.

You just displayed your ignorance..

he's an AIG and his zone is Lagos and Ogun..

He was in Ogun yesterday.. he's in Lagos today..

He has authority in both States

Caseless:
sorry, I wanted to say how family school crossed my mind

Everything is cool..

you still owe me o

Caseless:
fine ooo. How school na?

school kwa?

Caseless:
yeah. I knw u love ladies s lot.

How have you been?

Caseless:
I did.

Where were you looking?

In the ladies room?

Caseless:
oga, I have been looking for u.

You weren't looking hard enough

MzJackBaueress:
Ask Abagworo

I find it difficult Assessing the truth value of Abagworo's "Good morning".

Abagworo:
He has already won. Will be made official in less than an hour.

Let's watch and see

maestroferddi:
You are getting emotional.

Let's have your results.

Rochas has been having issues in Oguta, Ohaji/Egbema and Oru East.

I know Hope is an Iroko in Orlu zone: he would want to teach Rochas one or two lesson especially as both men have a mighty axe to grind.

Let the better man between Ihedioha, who BTW is a very tidy politician , and Rochas win.

I will however like Ihedioha to win to reposition Imo State as the intellectual capital of South East zone.

Tired of Rochas noisemaking and impunity.

We want our Imo back, and I am saying the foregoing without prejudice to the fact that I am from Njaba in Orlu zone.

The emboldened best describes the man with a green cap..

if he wins, he'll become one of the biggest winners of this 2015 elections

MzJackBaueress:
Using 2006 census to prove that Mbaitoli is larger than Orlu in 2015 proves nothing.

back to the topic please! that's argument is not my concern now.

Do you still believe Okorocha will win?

Raiders:
how is Ameachi the biggest loser? APC is now the biggest political party in Nigeria and control about 70% of states in Nigeria. Ameachi is now among the national leaders in APC and will have more influence than Wike and GEJ in Nigeria politics. Besides, The election in Rivers will be cancel if Wike is declare winner by the courts. There will be no more mama piss or GEJ for Wike when a rerun election is order by the tribunal then you will know the influence of Ameachi. He who laugh last the laugh best. Ameachi is going to have the final laugh.

You seems so sure the court will sack Wike?

Where's this conviction coming from?

biafransoul:
So true. He was left a man without a base, without a home, despised and cursed by his people. What a tragedy! His new found friends in Abuja and Lagos would soon remind him who exactly he is; a traitor of no reasonable value. Smh

Just like Sir Peter Odili before him.. SMH

Obiagelli:
Thanks jare. The tide could turn if apc makes him petroleum minister.

And you and I know Jagaban won't let that happen..

SeverusSnape:
Its Caseless not "ceaseless"

Oh thanks..

was a typographical error

DeCleff:
Wike governorship ambition wasn't the problem rather it was a strategy to not only reclaim power but to compensate wike for fighting Ameachi.

PEJ wants to control R/S so since she couldn't achieve that under Ameachi, she fought against him to unseat him but she failed. So, her plan B became to install Wike as governor

OK!!!

Lemme break it down for you...

When the going was good, Wike has always to succeed Amaechi and he has never hidden it..

Amaechi all of a sudden came up with the idea that the uplands have been in power for 16 years, that it's time for the riverline.

The reason he came up with this, wasn't clear and is still not clear.. But you and I know it wasn't all about equity. If he was interested in equity, he would have let someone from the riverline area to succeed sir Peter Odili.

The most plausible reason was that he wants to be Rivers godfather.. but he knows he can't achieve that with a Wike who by the virtue of being Chief of Staff for 4 years, was the governor's unseen hand and his sagacity left him virtually in control of PDP structure in Rivers State.

Ask yourself this question, is PEJ, the few billions she might steal and the sycophancy that feeds her ego enough reason for Amaechi to leave PDP and champion the defeat of his friend GEJ, a man he fought so gallantly for when Yar adua died?

If that truly is his reason, then he's one big fool

DeCleff:
Ameachi never lost anything at home. Don't worry after may 29 all fuckups must treated according to the law.

Ameachi with federal might will make life a living hell for Wike for the tribunal will cancel the election that brought him to power

U will not enjoy legality through illegality

You're suggesting a role rehearsal? After all Amaechi's cry of intimidation with federal might, you want him to use the Federal might to intimidate wike? Such hypocrisy won't go unnoticed.

What has federal might got to do with tribunal?

Obiagelli:
You nor well oh. You are right though Amaechi is the bigger loser in the rivers election

APC used him carelessly, the way a toddler plays with a new toy until it's worn out, then he dumps it..

I hope they don't give him an even more epic dumping..

I haven't had the chance to congratulate you and your APC..

Well played..

pazienza:
Haha! Wetin Obiagelli do you nah.

She's my favorite Female APC fan here on Nairaland

Caseless is my Favorite Male APC fan

People seem to forget that during that Amaechi's scintillating first term, Wike was Chief of Staff, Government House. He was Amaechi's right hand man, his confidant.. He was Mr Fix it..

Let's assume that he has no leadership quality like you guys want us to believe, He must have learnt one or two things during that four years..

phantom:
really?? Are you sure? You call a man playing with the big boys at the federal level a loser You must be joking.

In politics, you're as valuable as the crowd you pull..

What will he gain in the center? Highest he'll be made SGF and he'll appoint one or 2 ministers..

He and his ministers can be sacked any day.. The appointments is the Icing that covers the shitty cake..

Now here's the shitty cake..

In the center, he'll be a general without foot soldiers.

His electoral value to APC right now is a just a Lil higher than Obiagelli's

And Considering that he won't be in control of Rivers state's huge treasury for long, his value is above to nosedive

DeCleff:
Ok, let me explain to u why that problem couldn't be resolved.

Ameachi was a speaker of the state assembly for 8 good years before he became a governor. So, u must agree with that he knew his position as an elected governor of the state. Do u then expect him to surrender his office to mama peace? Why would mama peace want to control an elected governor? The Ameachi we know will never accept such. So, that was how it all started and Wike became her foot soldier to fight Ameachi.

As long as u are not doing mama peace bidding, u automatically became a target. Ex governor of Bayelsa fell out of favour because he refused to waste bilions on a hotel project which ex governor Alams started before he was impeached which paved way for GEJ to become governor . And as governor of the state he didn't carry the project along but want Timipre Silva to carry on the project.

Now if GEJ & PEJ so much love Bayelsa state why can't they complete that project instead mama peace started her own multi bilion naira hotel very closed to the one her husband abandoned when he was governor.

So, if u were Ameachi, will u surrender ur office to such person?

Lemme Educate you a Lil..

Amaechi's alleged problem with PEJ is just a front.. The real fight has always been between Amaechi and Wike. And the Problem has always been Wike's gubernatorial ambition.

Every other things were just shenanigans

cocokiller1:
I never did amaechi b4 nw
ammaechi was the love of everyone wen he was elected governor
I was evn among d kids dat went to see amaechi nd his wife at brickhouse during children's day as at wen he first became governor
every1 showered praises on amaechi wen he started building schools nd health care centres,he evn expanded some roads
what I don't understand is y amaechi will let something he would av settled amicably eat deep into him

One word!!!!

Greed..

For me, Amaechi is one of the biggest losers of this 2015 Elections..

What he gained at the center is nothing compared to what he lost at home

udogugerald:
It's obvious you do not know what you are talking about. Such comments just show your ignorance. Go to Nnewi and find out...instead of making comments borne out of phantasmagoria. He isn't even contesting for any elective seat in Anambra, yet contestants in Nnewi put his picture on their posters to gain support. What does that tell you of the man? Meanwhile go and check the Anambra gubernatorial results and see the votes he got in 2013 for Nnewi alone. Don't come here to broadcast your ignorance.

He lost Nnewi South, so?

Trust me, I know Nnewi..

Tell him to complete the Cathedral he bragged to build single handedly..

And maybe, just maybe, Nnewi will have a little respect for him..
