Bros! Let's leave transmission,distribution an the rest aside,let talk of "GENERATION"first,we are saying that in almost six years jonathan's admin.can not give us atleast 7000MW(add to Maybe two 2000MW or so we had earlier)by now we be hiting just under 10000MW,then you can now Talk of distribution an the rest. As it is now even if you buy transformer for every household,we wud still not have regular power because we are not generating enof.

Most of the generating plants are gas powered and beyond being completed, they cannot start operations until gas is supplied to them. Installed generating capability if gas is available to all of them is presently above 7000 mega watts, but what is actually being operational based on gas availability is 4500 mega watts. Even at that, sabotage of gas pipelines is preventing us from consistently generating at that capacity. The question you should be asking is this, can the present transmission facility evacuate 5000 mega watts from the GENCOs to the DISCOs? The answer is no and Prof Nebo has stated as much. You need a holistic approach in order to deliver power to the final consumer. Prof Nebo was simply speaking holistically.

toluene12:
Abeg
Show us anywhere in the world
where 1MW of electricity = 1billion dollars

For a whole prof to utter the above statement
Then Nigeria is in trouble
That means Nigeria spends 4.5 trillion dollars to generate its present 4500MW

The Prof said ''The cost of providing electricity per megawatt on average is $2billion''. He was talking about the cost of generation, transmission and distribution, down to the final consumers. If you generate power without it getting to the people who need it, it becomes a sheer waste of time. Most of the power contracts awarded by OBJ were in the area of generation, and that was why consumers never felt the impact because the then existing transmission facilities were incapable of back-hauling the power from the GENCOs to the DISCOs. Even at the DISCO level, they may not even have the capacity to receive what is sent to them. That is why a proper costing should factor in all that is required to make it available to the consumer. GEJ has been investing heavily in improving the transmission facility to most of the major cities in the country. It is a massive investment that will take many years before the people would enjoy 24/7 power supply across most parts of the country.

JeffreyJamez:
See this one!... mister know all.... you think say 2billion dolls na 2 billion naira ba...... anyways Politics has beclouded your mind... I'm done talking to you......

2 billion dollars to generate, transmit and distribute 2 mega watts of power to the consumers is not abnormal. It is only abnormal for people who expect university education to be free for all, power supply to be free for all, health insurance to be free for all etc. That is why the APC in their manifesto is promising to spend over 50 trillion naira in 4 years if voted into power. It is not a surprise that people who are very poor in numeracy are making bogus promises all over the place, with little or no idea of what they are talking about. If I had my way, A1 in mathematics at school cert level would be a minimum requirement for anybody who wants to contest for any political office in nigeria. This would go a long way in reducing the amount of trash in the name of campaign promises some of these politicians are making. GEJ has got the best economic team ever assembled to manage the nigerian economy, and whatever challenges that have slowed down the pace of their work has been due to outright sabotage by disgruntled elements who are out to discredit the government. It is hoped that people who know little to nothing about some issues should desist from causing confusion through some of the silly comments they are posting on social media.

fairheven:
My brother am surprised that nobody challenged him on spurious and dumb statements...2billion dollars shud fund nothing less than 1,500MW,obviously they are stealing the money if that is the case

You should factor in the cost of generating, transmitting and distributing 2 megawatts capacity to consumers. He was not talking about generation alone.

JeffreyJamez:
You would be silly if you believe that hogwash that man said.... $2billion per megawatt?!!..... something is wrong with all of you!!

I'm pretty much certain that you did not go to school because f you did, you will not come here to advertise your ignorance. The problem in nigeria today is that social media has afforded all manners of characters to come online to spew thrash. I implore you to do a little research of the profile of Prof Nebo before coming here to advertise your idiocy. When the Erudite Prof says it costs 2 billion USD per Mega watts, he knows what he is talking about. Those of us who are well informed know that the man is absolutely correct and that is why we are not queuing up behind the cattle rearer and mooing 'change' like one of those his 150 cows.

ProsperUSA:
[size=28pt]Corrupt Prof.Nebo.
It is impossible to provide constant uninterrupted electricity for Nigeria whereas it is absolutely possible for him to provide himself and his family with electricity by using German/USA/Japan-made automatic silent state-of-the-art electric generator just because CORRUPTION allows him to do STEAL and buy whatever he wants. They will surely paid for their corruption one day.[/size]

If your Buhari had half the integrity that Prof. Nebo has, the north would have been a better place than UAE. For you to refer the well respected Prof Nebo as corrupt clearly shows that your type and your mentor Buhari are really deranged and need to be put in an asylum for lunatics. Buhari can never achieve the credibility that Prof Nebo has, even if he is given 50 more years to work on his criminal records. Your type are the consequence of the tragedy of the present nigerian society where criminals who have evaded the law will later put themselves up for political office, simply by sheer propaganda and falsehood. Evil people and their evil APC party. By the mercies and grace of God, GEJ will win the elections convincingly.

JeffreyJamez:
Wait o.....so anyone who airs his opinion that's not in favor of a party supports the opposition?!.... what makes you think I give a rats assss about you and your politics?..... FYI I don't even own a PVC not to talk of supporting any fvcken party... na them dey feed me ni?.....better dey use the grey matter inside your head before you quote me o....I no dey smile today o!.....political Bigot!!..

Then stop posting silly stuffs here with the intention of misinforming people. The more your type keep away from creating confusion on social media, the better for the deluded followers of the Jihadist APC gang.

JeffreyJamez:
Lies from the pit of hell!!!... other countries that are enjoying it nko?

Don't worry, Buhari will deliver 100,000 megawatts in six months based on the 'change' he has been campaigning for, after all, he has F9 in mathematics and so does not bother himself with the details on how to achieve it. He has a lot of gullible people like you as his supporters chanting his 'change' slogan. Silly party making silly promises that are far from reality. GEJ till 2019.

annurhaske:
Of course this is true.
Barawone!!!!!!!

We already know who America and their allies are campaigning for, due to their selfish interests.Unfortunately for them, nigerians have decided to continue to move forward ever and backward never. GEJ till 2019.

UrennaNkoli:
[size=15pt]Nobody wants Jonathan, everyone is tired of his leadership, everyone is tired of his government. You and I know he's a tyrant and that's why he must be voted out. Another 4 years of brutality, dictatorship, death and islamic insurgency is what you can't think of. Act fast, act wisely. Don't make a mistake you'll regret, vote wisely.[/size]

SaiBuhari

Please, speak for yourself because the majority of Nigerians are behind GEJ while the nigeriens, chadians and the over 1 million supposed amputees in the north who Buhari and Jega have issued PVCs as part of their plans to rig the elections would be disappointed. GEJ till 2019.

If any of these seven points are true, then Jega should be arrested immediately and tried for treason. These points should be investigated immediately by the DSS and all those culpable must be arrested immediately and tried for treason. Sacking Jega should be the least action that should be taken against him. There should be an immediate reshuffle of INEC RECs to forestall any attempt to compromise the integrity of the elections.

Mere academic exercise that will end in futility. I guess GEJ's two terms should be a total of 5 years instead of 8 years. Silly hungry lawyers. GEJ till 2019.

[size=20pt]What a shame![/size]

We understand your pain, however, GEJ till 2019.

Oduduwaboy:
Where are the so-called security chiefs ? the little ba.stards?

We understand your pain over the shift in date for the elections. The crisis that the unpatriotic northern elements precipitated in the north east has now come to hunt them. If the six weeks is not enough, they will extend it again by 4 weeks. GEJ till 2019.

anwo247:
Just wondering why APC celebrates ignorance. NAIRA VALUE WAS AS A RESULT OF FALLEN OIL PRICE. The reason okonjo iweala is working hard to diversify our revenue base.

The major issue with the naira right now is that the APC through their companies, are mopping up all the foreign exchange in circulation, in other words, they are colluding with some banks to engage in foreign exchange racketeering so as to create artificial scarcity that will continue to drive down the value of the naira. The CBN should simply ask the banks to provide all the details on their FOREX transactions within the past two months and immediately withdraw the banking license of any of the erring banks. The erring banks must be made to pay a heavy price in colluding with the APC to destroy the nigerian economy, with the APC using same to rubbish GEJ's government. This is a time for GEJ to really go tough on these economic saboteurs. GEJ till 2019.

[quote author=GARRIx7 post=30558897][/quote]That is is exactly what Buhari and Thiefnnubu would have done if they where in GEJ's shoes, we saw that in the local government elections organised by APC in Lagos state. They are now the ones coming to cry wolf. GEJ should move against all their people within INEC to ensure that the elections are credible. GEJ till 2019.

It is Wamako and the sokoto state REC who should resign for their attempt to disenfranchise some LGAs in sokoto state by having their PVCs burnt, while agitating for non-shifting of the elections. The Service Chiefs and the top security hierarchy ought to be commended for their sense of patriotism in recommending the shift in election date. We implore the security agencies to investigate the activities of those 20 RECs that were against the shifting of the elections, especially as it concerns the low PVC collection in their states occasioned mostly by the strange disappearance of the PVCs of innocent voters. Jega must as a matter of urgency, ensure that all missing PVCs are reproduced and the owners contacted to collect them within the next four weeks, else we would safely conclude that he has also sold out to the agenda of the evil forces trying to destroy Nigeria. We recommend that the President, as the Chief Security Officer of the country, places all suspicious elements officials within and outside INEC under security watch, inorder to ensure that the integrity of the elections is not compromised. This president has shown the willingness to give us a credible election, and must not allow desperate politicians to scuttle the whole process. If the president has refused to induce INEC to his own advantage, he must also ensure that no political party infiltrates INEC at whatever level to induce it to their own selfish interests. Jega is advised to pay more attention to what the RECs are doing in their individual states, to ensure that they don't tarnish his name. GEJ till 2019.

Like actions in Hollywood blockbusters, gunmen, which number could not be easily ascertained, on Friday morning raided a printing press in Shomolu area of Lagos State, carting away copies of a book on the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Our correspondent gathered that the gunmen harassed the printers and took away copies of the book, entitled Two-Faced Jonathan: 100 Reasons Why Jonathan Must Go, authored by Blessing Agbomhere.

Workers in the printing press who were too  frightened, could not ask questions or confront the gun-wielding men suspected to be security operatives.

Speaking to journalists on the development, Agbomhere said the book was scheduled for launch at the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) Secretariat in Lagos, before the incident.

Agbomhere, who is also the initiator of Change Ambassador of Nigeria (CAN), said, “This book was being printed in Shomolu and I was told that the book that was to be launched today (Saturday) was taken away after someone within the printing press, who has sympathy for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), alerted security operatives about it.

“They came and confiscated all the printed copies of the book.  They came in mufti.

“We don’t know the arm of security agency that they belong to, or whether they are private individuals or not.

“The printers had to immediately release the books to them, because, they were heavily armed. I am not owing them. I have already paid them.”

Agbomhere added that the book mirrors Jonathan as a “President of the cabal, Tompolo, Asari-Dokubo and a few other corrupt elements, who are sponsoring Boko Haram to destroy Nigeria’s unity.

“The book says President Jonathan has failed to defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and as such should not seek re-election or ask for a job he know he doesn’t have the capacity to do,” he said.

The author dared Jonathan to act on the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) forensic audit report and bring those indicted by the report to book.

Also speaking, Ibilola Essien, a social entrepreneur with Act Now Nigeria, a non-governmental organisation, said the present administration has not done enough to salvage the country from the many problems besieging it.

According to her, poverty and corruption have continued to soar, while insecurity in the North East has claimed over 15,000 lives since 2009.

The author should immediately be arrested and tried for treasonable felony if she is unable to provide proof on GEJ's sponsorship of BH.

[quote author=dappyboy0489 post=30528370][/quote]You people are just a bunch of noise makers. Your rigging plans were busted despite all the noise and threats from your miserable party. There can only be one outcome from the now march 28 elections, which is Nigerians coming out overwhelmingly to reject Buhari as they have always done. GEJ till 2019.

The resident electoral commissioner for Lagos state should be redeployed immediately, it is clear that the APC has compromised him. INEC should immediately open up a special mechanism to resolve this issue in less than 2 weeks from now. The FG should ensure that Jega deals with this peculiar Lagos issue immediately within the next two weeks. The APC knows that Lagos is going to the PDP, and are desperately trying to disenfranchise eligible voters. That was why they were the proponents of election date not being shifted, so that they can rig the process through disenfranchising a majority of Lagos voters, for how can one explain the fact that Lagos has less than 40% success in the collection of PVCs. In the coming weeks, the entire rigging plan of the APC, which unfortunately has been scuttled by the postponement would be made public. GEJ till 2019.

They US should concern itself with cleaning up the mess it created in Syria which gave rise to the IS terrorist group rather than meddling in the affairs of Nigeria. This has clearly shown that the US knows a lot about BH and the plot to breakup Nigeria than they are telling the whole world. I guess this has put spanners in the works of their plans to precipitate the breakup of the country.

The US under Obama, has indeed become the new axis of evil and destabilization across the entire world. First they refused to sell urgently needed weapons to the Nigerian military, which would have helped us crush BH months ago, they went further to block other attempts Nigeria made to acquire weapons fom other countries. On the other hand, they were busy using CNN to rubbish the war efforts of the government, with the aim of painting GEJ as weak on the issue of security, on an election year.

Why would they not be disappointed with the postponement of the elections. They should please mind their own business, after all, they do not consult Nigeria when they want to deal ith their own internal issues. We are capable as a country in managing our issues. By the mercies and grace of the Lord God Almighty, GEJ will defeat all these evil forces, both within and outside Nigeria, and Nigeria will continue to move forward. GEJ till 2019.

alaoeri:
Keep deceiving yourself Jona is already on his way to Otuoke while we are marching Buhari to Aso rock.

APC Noise making and propaganda of has failed in preventing the shift in the date of the elections, just as it will not also prevent GEJ from winning the elections overwhelmingly. GEJ till 2019.

alaoeri:
PDP wanna snatch Lagos by force by fire but they have fail.

PDP do not need force to win Lagos because the electorate in Lagos are sick and tired of Lagos being run as the family business of thiefnnubu. GEJ till 2019 and Jimi Agbaje till 2023.

[size=22pt]AMaechi the basterd tout, where are you? Come out with your thugs if you know sày you be legitimate Rivers son.[/size]

He should ensure that his children and the children of other APC noise makers are at the forefront of the public protests. GEJ till 2019.

I guess that by now, the children on this forum who have been shouting themselves hoarse with 'Sai Buhari' will now know who calls the shots. It is GEJ and not the APC noise makers. GEJ till 2019.

PastorOla1:
THIS IS A COUP AGAINST DEMOCRACY

There's no need to come here to make noise, the elections will be shifted in the overriding best interest of the entire process. Everything the president is doing is legal and in the overral best interest of Nigeria. It is only enemies of the country that are pushing for elections on February 14, so that they can unleash violence on innocent Nigerians in the north, apart from disenfranchising a significant percentage of the electorate. GEJ till 2019.

If Jega likes, let him consult even market women, NURTW, association of witches and wizards, etc, the elections would be shifted by a minimum of 6 weeks because without security, there will not be any elections. GEJ calls the shots and not these APC noise makers. GEJ till 2019.

It is not the call of the RECs to guarantee the security of the elections. If there is no security, there will be no elections, RECs or no RECs. GEJ till 2019.

PUSH1:
The independent national electoral commission is not Independent. It has been compromised by the gej government under pdp. Change is a must. It is now that you want to tackle insurgence for just 6 weeks. What have you been doing the whole of last year. bunch of fools.

Stop shedding crocodile tears. GEJ till 2019.

You should ensure that you come out on the streets, but this time, also include your children and the children of other APC leaders in the protest so that everyone of you will get their fair share of the tear-gas and rubber bullets. Silly party with leaders so-called. GEJ till 2019.

YSA06:
Gej is destroying this country, he's truncating our democracy using army that he couldn't use to fight BH, and I wonder how a right sensed Nigeria will support king NEBU.



My sincere prayer is may God rule his supporters' life the way gej is ruling this country, may God come to our rescue and do gej justice before he turns this nation into a war zone. (#gensanniabacha)

You are complaining because your rigging plans will be compromised by a shift in the elections. Unfortunately for you, you are contesting against the ruling part who will ensure that adequate security is provided to ensure the protection of the entire electoral process.

dodoniyi:
The security forces that have been compromised and debased. Enough number of people may not come out to vote because of fear of intimidation and accidental discharge from the military. Theis is just like, because of security breaches, military officers are the invilgilating WAEC students.....The students may not perform well as a resut of fear.

Let the police do their job....this is a democracy and if the police force cannot provide security again, let the force be scrapped so that we will know that the military are doing the jobs of two forces.

It is only the military that can prevent Buhari's foot soldiers from unleashing their usual violence against GEJ's supporters, and GEJ will have non of it. The President will have his way at the end of the day, as long as the may 29 handover date remains sacrosanct. The only thing Buhari and his APC noise makers can do is to continue their inconsequential noise making. GEJ till 2019.
