Exactly. Why can't we support our indigenous business,instead of enriching and piloting another mans business.
While ours is struggling to survive in our home country.
Glo and MTN is a typical example.

Its evident that the DNA of nigerians have be induced with "assliking" virus.

Pathetic.

Is it wrong for a state govt to try to attract investment to its state, thus creating even more jobs for its people? Isn't that one of the many readons why we voted for them in the 1st place? And what makes you think there's no plan to support SMEs in the state? I understand this belly aching of yours.

It seems u are GEJ dog. Arguing with you is a waste of time. You only mentioned the personal achievement of the above mentioned people which you and I can achieve but we are talking about the credibility of his useless administration and his cohorts.

Please shut the fvck up!! Useless paper m@stub@tor. This is why I said you've an issue with your eye sight. Or maybe you're just dumb when it comes to comprehension. Else you would've seen that I drew comparisons (on the sole basis of credibility) between both the administration you despise and the present administration you obviously support. You couldn't even argue out you're point cos you have absolutely NOTHING to offer, hence the "I'm tired blah blah blah" remark. BUZZ OFF FOOL! I don't have time 4 dumbos like you.

TANoids to the defense

On what defence? We're busy watching as Oshiomole the chimpanzee makes a fool of himself.

Guys don't blame Oshiomole. It's probably the brand of viagra he's currently taking. It doesn't work well with Edo Orangutans like him.

Pierocash:
That is d lie Tanoids are pedling just to cover up, bt we know what he went there for.Jonathan went to Kenya to negotiate himself into Asylum when PMB rejected every plea from him and his cohorts, he knows d fight is serious.

GEJ went to seek asylum in Kenya? You now see why we don't take you APC paper m@stubators and zombies serious with all your blatant lies and beer parlour gossips?

Wike the Wicked! Moving Rivers state forward and giving APC migraines and nightmares .

This shouldn't surprise anyone. The country's economy is stagnating while the Daura President runs a one-man show.

wristbangle:
I consider all what you have said to be scrap becos the clueless one is using all these vague projects which wasn't his idea to cover up his mess.

Excuse me.. The same Agric sector that couldn't boast of an increase in production in terms of cassava, etc.

I don't have time analysing others because he is one responsible for the insecurity of the nation, drop in our naira value, huge unemployment rate, etc.

Please kindly explain what happened to our foreign reserve and appointees of money looting ministers.


Waiting for ur answer.

I will assume you have a MAJOR ISSUE with your eye sight else you would've known that I had already answered your question in post. I strongly suggest you check those eyes out and READ MY POST AGAIN.

And what "money looting ministers" are you referring to here? They may not be angels but they're FAR AHEAD of the clowns in the present Dana administration.

Do you want to compare Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, a sound product of IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITIES, an erudite academician, and a TOP MGT product of the World Bank to Oshiomole, that Edo Orangutan suffering from oral diarrhoea and poor mental health no thanks to the negative effects of viagra on his brain?

You want to compare Dr. Adesina, a product of the UN mastermind behind the TOTAL OVERHAUL of the agricultural sector, the AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION that saw the end of the fertiliser mafia and the LARGEST CROP PRODUCTION OUTPUT in our nation's history, to who? That fat bellied loud mouth airbag (all talk No action) Rochas Okorocha who couldn't sleep because Obama shook his hand, thus embarrassing his state and the nation?

Is it Olusegun Aganga, a sound product of University of Oxford (one of the BEST UNIVERSITIES IN THE WORLD) and GOLDMAN SACHS, compared to who? That he goat Aregberascal who ruined his state financially and can't pay workers?!

Or maybe it's Deziani Alison-Madueke, top technocrat head hunted from SHELL and brains behind the GAS REVOLUTION that saw the construct ion of the gas delivery system to power stations and industries, and the LOCAL CONTENT POLICY that has seen the MASSIVE PARTICIPATION of Nigerian companies in the lucrative upstream sector of the oil and gas industry, the 70%+ workforce rule enforcement on IOCs and other MNCs?

Oh, maybe it's Dr. Bath Nnaji, topmost scientist and innovator from Massachusettes Institute of Technology (MIT - Best engineering university in the WORLD), and Prof. Chinedu Nebo, FIRST CLASS PRODUCT and a SEASONED ACADEMICIAN, both men being minds behind the success in the power sector.

Okay....maybe it's Lt. General Ihejirika, War College ace student (2nd highest award; I should know cos I attended the graduation) and the brains behind the Army's Counter Insurgency Programme. Or is it Admiral Ola Ibrahim, the mastermind solely responsible for the MASSIVE rearming/reequipping the NIGERIAN NAVY, revitalization of the Navy's Special Forces programme. You want to compare these men with who? Dambazau? That fool known for his tribalism?

Hey, maybe it's Gen. Gazau, then Minister of Defence and Nigeria's SPYMASTER/ESPIONAGE LEGEND along the likes of Diette-Spiffe. Compared to who? The new DG-DSS Daura who was LAST in his class and a terrible service record?

Please tell me, which minister?

Excuse me... GEJ needs to blame for the current devaluation of naira. Meanwhile what happened to our siphoned foreign reserve. Agreed shale oil forced crude oil price to crash. The clueless one know the consequence of shale oil in market but why can't he close the leak holes in the economy by resurrecting other sectors such as Agric and co to cover up the mess.

"Resurrect other sectors"?! Good Lawd.....you think that's done overnight?! Even at that:

1) Who is responsible for the AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION that saw the increase in production output at record high, a FIRST IN NIGERIA'S HISTORY, leading to our more assured food security and a slash of our import bill from over N3 TRILLION to less than N600 billion? GEJ!

2) Who is responsible for the resuscitation of the manufacturing sector, the automobile sector INCLUSIVE via the AUTOMOBILE POLICY that has seen Nigeria MANUFACTURE and EXPORT vehicles (Innoson, Proforce, Nissian, and soon Ford, just to name a few? GEJ

3) Who was responsible for the establishment of more SME's via soft loans from programmes like YouWin and Co? Again GEJ!

4) Even at the crash of oil prices, who imposed a series of austerity measures to ensure that Nigerians did not feel the effects of the price crash?! Oh yes, GEJ!!

So what's this chap you're yapping about?

Oh btw, yes our FX coffers was lower than before, BUT have you factored in that:
* Fighting a raging insurgency requires cold hard funds, NOT air?
* That same FX is required to shore up the Naira to prevent further loss in its value?
* Capital projects implemented from power to water resource project, rail to aviation, road networks to health care services, etc?

Origin:
Since Buhari came to power, it has become obvious that the only thing wrong with Nigeria are its people (me and you)
There is nothing the human mind cannot achieve when determined,
What has changed, no extra investment - nothing yet more light, more fuel @ good price (without subsidy), more food,
Let everyone be accountable. Things are working because people have become accountable.
DO YOUR JOB WELL. DO THE RIGHT THING.

More fuel @ good price?! Are u fvking joking?! I buy fuel @ N110.00 per ltr yet you call that a "good price"? Even the power improvement isn't GMB's handwork, and the increased food output is as a result of the agriculture REVOLUTION by Adesina's Federal Ministry of Agriculture under GEJ's watch. So what the hell are you talking about?

Horlufemi:
When Jonathan came in how much was the dollar?

When I Jonathan left how much was the dollar?

Please answer. And please don't insult me cos I didn't insult u.

You're aware that at the tail end of the GEJ's administration, the price of oil crashed dramatically due to the excess shale oil pumped into the global market by the United States of America, which in turn led to the devaluation of the Naira, right? So if you're trying to lay the blame on GEJ, I suggest you go do a bit more reading.

PassingShot:
Liar! It was way above 220 when GEJ left.

It NEVER went beyond 190 under GEJ. Keep lying.

Excellent development. A plus to the IGP.

winterfell007:
let me enlighten those who care to know. i read comments of those praising Obsanjo for building the NIPP plants. no doubt Obj conceived the project in 2004/2005. it wasn't known as the Niger Delta Power Holding Company. it was just a contracting company that was given the initial funds to construct new power plants the power plants constructed where: omotosho 334 megawatts, papalanto 334 megawatts geregu 434 meagwatts and Afam 400 megawatts. note that these power were all taged 'phase 1" they were plans to construct the phase two of these plants before that National Assembly began to challenge Obj on the rationality of wasting funds by siting power plants where there are no known gas reserve. would power plants sited in states like Ogun and Kogi with no gas reserve run on water? that was the question that was raised. Obj rounded off and handed over to his successor, Yar'adua who suspended these projects due to the distortion and allegation of financial impropriety. it was GEJ who came in convinced the National Assembly as well as the state and local government on the need to continue this projects and begin the construction of the phase two of these power plants. Federal, State and Local government contributed a quota of their monthly allocation to Niger Delta Power Holding Company which realised eight ( billion dollars from the contribution. this enable them to embark on the building the phase two of these projects which included: omotosho 500 megawatts,(phase two), olorunshugo 775 megawatts (phase two), geregu 434 megawatts (phase two). in addition to that GEJ ordered that new transmission and distribution lines being built to accomodate this new quantum of power that will be generated from these plants. Gej in 2011 also began the construction of Alaoji power plant in Abia 1074 megawatts, calabar power plant 500 megawatts in cross river, Ivohbor power plant 500 megawatts in Edo, Ogorode 500 megawatts in Delta Gbarain225 megawatts in Bayelsa and Egbema 335 megawatts in Imo state. note that these are states are part of the NNDC with adequate gas reserves to power this new plants being built. Jonthan went to china to secure a loan from the chinese exim bank to construct a hydro power plant in Zungeru 700 megawatts in Niger state and secured 500million dollar eurobond to build gas pipelines that will connect the entire power plants being built. the contract was given to Oilserve Nigeria Limited, an indigenous company owned by my name sake Emeka Okwusa to do the job and the project will be completed in 2017. if you doubt me, browse: www. ndphc.com.ng for more info. those saying Jonathan is only commisioning Obj's projects are fools, Obj builts plants with no plan for gas collection, how will they fuel it, is it with water? no transmission lines to evacuate the power generated. it was GEJ who ensured all power that will come from these new plants(both the one constructed by Obj and Him) can get to the ingrates called masses. people are praising Buhari that hasn't inaugurated any new projects since he came to power.

THANK YOU!!! Teach all these useless zombies and paper w@nkers.

thehomer:
Five years of Jonathan's work manifest three months after his presidency? I say there's something incompetent about his leadership abilities.

The fruits of GEJ's work manifested long before he left. The problem was that people like you were so blinded to this thanks to your passionate hatred for the man. Now you think GMB "miraculously" transformed the power sector in just 2 months?! With what? The "fear of GMB"? No master plan, no money sunk, no new power station on his watch, not even a single bulb.

Abeg feed that crap to your fellow gullible zombies and paper m@stubators.

jaymichael:
No, Buhari did not build any power plant. Even if he wants to build now, it is very likely it will not be commissioned before the end of his 4 year renure because it takes time for power plants to be installed.
OBJ built and awarded the contacts for those new power plants. Some were completed and commissioned before the end of his tenure. Some like the Olorunshogo power plant were to be installed in phases, some phases he completed and commissioned before the end of his tenure. It should be noted that most of these power plants are gas fired. You can't have power even when you have power plants but no gas for it to run for onward transmission and distribution.
under the last regime, the power sector was faced with many problems that mainly bothers on lack of oversight. There was a lull in spate of work on the yet to be completed power plants by the contractors because of corruption and lack of government oversight. the government was deceived hence few weeks to election, the rush by Jonathan to commission both already commissioned and uncompleted power plants.
There was no supply of gas to those power plants due to corruption. Probably the gas gas were diverted by the officials and blamed on vandals. Tell me what do vandals want to do with gas pipeline? Have you ever seen a BLACK MARKET GAS before? dispensing gas requires specialized equipments as it is not like oil pipeline whereby you just vandalise and begin to scoop.
The politicians and power officials deceived the government (for corrupt person gains) and the government inturn deceived the citizens. During the rainy season when the hydro electricity dams and power stations are working, they tell us that power has improved due to government effort in increasing power generation but during the dry season when water is short in supply and power drops, the tell us that the opposition and vandals are vandalizing the gas pipelines and sabotaging government efforts to ensure stable power supply.

HORSECRAP! !! I say again HORSECRAP!! The Olorunshogo Power Plant you even attribute to OBJ was something of an expensive joke because there was ZERO facilities to pump in much needed gas to power that plant. It was GEJ that BUILT the gas supply system across the nation via the GAS REVOLUTION & was responsible for building the new phases for SAME power plant and other existing plants, PLUS the new ones brought online. Add to all these is the upgrade and expansion of our transmission grid (new transmission towers, lines and substations), authorization by NERC to State IPPs to distribute locally (all very first in our history), outsourcing of TCN to a reputable Canadian firm (Manitoba Power), massive distribution of step down transformers (Prof. Nebo's FIRST instruction), construction of new distribution substations, and FINALLY the unbundling and privatisation of PHCN which led to the elimination of govt inefficiency in running the utility sector and the introduction of private sector participation.

One more correction: GEJ began to commission the MAJORITY of the new power plants TWO YEARS into his administration, NOT a few weeks to the end. Every power plant commissioned at the last were the last completed before he left. Even at that, there are a number of Dams in advance stages of construction (all initiated, planned, payed for, and executed by the Federal Ministry of Water Resources) with power generation capabilities.


So PLEASE spare us all the extra made-up BULLSHYTE and blatant LIES.

Ijaya123:
Brilliant. Clap for yourself.

LMAO!!!

rusher14:
As noble as it was, many Nigerians would have loved to have stable power supply not the opposite.

And the past administration worked hard towards that goal. The onus is now on the new administration to build on this success and increase both generated and installed capacities even further.

rusher14:
You mean just before Barth Nnaji was made to resign in 2012? Crying shame. Seems there were powerful people who weren't interested in stable power supply, and they successfully outwitted our dear president then.

Says a lot.

No, before Nnaji voluntarily resigned due to conflict of interest as a result of Geometric Power Coy's involvement in the bid for one of the GENCOs. THAT was noble of him as it reinforced the integrity of the process, and a PLUS to the GEJ administration for ensuring that the whole process was fair and transparent.

rusher14:
I see, Lai Mohammed made sure there was no power for 5 years?

That must mean Jonathan lacked the requisite leadership ability.

Ain't that strange? Cos power actually peaked at almost 5000MW during Dr. Nnaji's tenure as Minister of Power under GEJ with power improvement across the states. That's before the drop no thanks to gas line sabotage in the later months of the administration.

I'm not sure this is correct. From the website of the Federal Ministry of Power (as at 18th August, 2015):

Peak generation = 4570.5MW
Energy generation = 3960.64MW
Energy sent out = 3960.64MW

So what 5000MW is being referred to?

Backed substantially by South African mercenaries.

Please leave tribalism out of this. What the hell is wrong with you dolts?

This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with COMPETENCE & OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE in-theatre, bumwipe. And the South Africans played limited roles from forming & training the 72nd Mobile Strike Force, technical training on the REVA MRAPs used by same Special Force unit, and limited air assault operations on the new Nigerian Army Air Corps Gazelle Scout helicopters. I suggest you read Eeben Barrow's rebuttal of some of those false reports initially peddled by some British papers. Oh, he is the founder of Executive Outcomes (now STTeP).

This is rubbish. What of Maj. Gen. L.O Adeosun (I hope I got the name right), then GOC 7th Division who was responsible for the successful 6-weeks offensive against Boko Haram? Or the likes of Brig. Gen. Udoh of 5th Brigade? These men were responsible for the succesful 6 weeks offensive and led from the FRONT.
