Sorry o just kool temper you will soon enjoy!

ddami:
. I totally agree 'cos NEBO is always talking about Vandalism and Cabals.....
I suspect those generator manufactures, I won't be surprised if NIGERIA is their biggest market for supplies

Vandalism, cabals and insincerity by our leaders are the 'powers' responsible majorly for the problem we are presently facing in the power sector.

ddami:
Light in my Area has really improved, I live in lagos.... I hope the.megawatts increases. .....
Baba make sure you appoint an INTELLIGENT minister of power ooo

Tackling power prob in 9ja goes beyond having an intelligent minister, in addition, the govt must exhibit the political will to pursue its policies on power to a conclusive end as there are 'powers' that are hell bent on keeping power prostrate in this country

chuna1985:
I live in Enugu state in a place called New Haven. For exactly 22 days, I've switched in the generator twice, We have light 23 hours everyday n some days 23 hours and 55 minutes. The last time we had it this good was 2002.

Many people who had less than 3 hours electricity in Lagos now have 16 to 20 hours...

I'm dead sure this is not 4000MW

Well you have a solid point there, just enjoy it while it lasts

[size=18pt]Since they have been carting away billions of dollars noboby heard their shouts of dismay but now that the table has turned they want to fill our ears with nonsense
They should know that whatever goes up must surely come down [/size]

SUSPECTED kidnappers in military uniform yesterday struck again in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State and abducted the 48-year-old wife of the former acting governor of the State, Hon. Nestor Binabo.

Mrs. Martha Binabo, according to the State Police Command, was abducted on Monday at about 11.30am at the premises of Seleyibo Multi-Global Company Limited, along Agbura community in Yenagoa Local Council of the State. Some close family members expressed fears that her abduction may not be unconnected with the decision of her husband to defect to the All Progressive Congress (APC) after his expulsion from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Security authorities, however, described her abduction as a purely criminal act by some criminal elements involved in kidnapping and violent crimes within the state.

An eyewitness account claimed that the kidnappers, who were dressed in full military uniform, asked the manager the of the company for the whereabouts of the madam, under the pretext that they were opening a business transaction with the Commander of the Joint Military Task Force, Major General Emmanuel Atewe.

“When the manager took them to meet his madam, he left. They then asked the madam to follow them to the JTF headquarters under the pretext of introducing her to the JTF Commander.”

“The unsuspecting woman asked them to wait and allow her get her bag. They allowed her get her bag and her perceived delay at entering the vehicle forced them to push her into it. It was then it dawned on her workers that they were kidnappers and not JTF men,” the source said.

The victim’s husband, Hon. Nestor Binabo, confirmed the kidnap of his wife but refused to make further comments. Authorities of the State Police Command, through its spokesman, Butwat Astimin, confirmed the abduction of Mrs Binabo, saying the kidnappers lured her outside the gate of her business premises for a business discussion and forced her into a waiting vehicle.

According to the Police, “the kidnappers forced her into an ash-coloured Toyota Camry and drove to Otuokpoti Sand Dump in Ogbia LGA.

They set the Toyota Camry car ablaze, took the victim into a waiting speedboat and sped off to an unknown destination. The Marine Police, JTF, Anti-kidnapping unit have been alerted.” A massive manhunt has been launched to rescue the victim and arrest the abductors, the police said.

Nigerian midfielder Sunday Mba has joined a newly promoted second tier Turkish side Yeni Malatyaspor.

Mba, who scored Nigeria’s winning goal in the final match of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa, completed the moved from French third division club CA Bastia and was unveiled in Turkey on Tuesday.

The Super Eagles player tweeted photos of his unveiling on Tuesday expressing his delight over the move.

Malatyaspor was promoted from the TFF Second League, which is the third division, to the First League, at the end of last season.

The club, nicknamed Tigers of the East, are based in Malatya in Eastern Anatolia and play at the 15,000 capacity Malatya Inonu Stadium..

THE 14-year-old pupil of Dixons Kings Academy, Bradford, who stabbed a Nigerian science teacher, Vincent Uzomah, in the stomach at the beginning of the subject on June 11 when asked to bring his phone, is to be sentenced next month for causing the 50-year-old man “a grievous bodily harm.”
The pupil, who cannot be named for legal reasons because he’s a child, admitted knifing Uzomah during his 11-minute appearance at Monday’s hearing at the Bradford Crown Court, but denied attempted murder.

https://s5.postimg.org/je96hzcrb/Uzomah.jpg

An official of the court, who spoke with The Guardian after the hearing, said: “It (sentencing) is potentially the 10th of August but the judge has said it is yet to be confirmed when she was asked of the sentencing date.”
Watched by two members of his family from the public gallery and sandwiched between two security guards, the pupil wore a grey shirt and black jacket on top of blue jeans and apart from answering “yes sir” to confirm his name, spent most of the remaining period of the hearing with his head bowed.

Reserving the judgment till early August to allow both psychiatric and pre-sentencing reports to be compiled, Judge Durham Hall described the teenager as “undoubtedly a very troubled young man,” and then thanked him for not wasting court’s time with his early plea.

Hall, who also noted that “this is a very troubling case,” told the boy: “Your plea has been noted, very proper, at a very early stage” and he then said “thank you,” to the pupil as the security guards led him away.

Hall also gave reasons for agreeing with Crown prosecutors not to press for the initial charge of “attempted murder” because it would be very difficult to prove that the pupil had the intention of killing the University of Leeds’ Civil Engineering graduate father of two.

Uzomah, who had since been released from hospital a few days after the attack, was not in court during Monday’s hearing and it’s not clear he would be present on the day of the judgment next month.

The judge, who described the part-time actor as “a very brave and compassionate victim, said: “The 50-year old man, who had appeared as an extra on two famous British soaps, Coronation Street and Emmerdale, was described by his casting agency as “a very nice, reliable and bubbly guy.”

Last week Tuesday was the first time the teacher spoke about the incident when he released a statement through the police thanking God and the NHS – National Health Service

THE country has increased power generation from the 3,657.02MW it recorded two weeks ago to 3,801.19MW, while energy sent out has reached 3,708MW from the 3,584MW.
Nigeria has continued to enjoy significant increase in power generation and supply in the last few weeks achieved, during the review period.

For instance, the country’s power generation, which was below 2,000MW between January and May this year, is already recording peak generation of about 4,057.20MW, according to the latest power generation report by the Presidential Taskforce on Power.
This is still below the peak demand forecast of 12,800MW. The highest peak energy generated was 4,517.6MW recorded in 2012.

Chairman of Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Dr. Sam Amadi said that power generation might peak above 5,500MW in July if on-going repairs on gas supply pipelines are completed.

He said the commission has received assurances from the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) that improvements on gas supply are coming up.

Amadi, said a lot work has been done to contain the frequent vandalism of gas pipelines.

He added: “much of the vandalisms are in the gas side. The gas problem is getting better. We had meeting with the Group Executive Director of gas at NNPC and he told us of improvements coming up. We hope that by the end of July, with the repair work going on, we might be able to do maybe above 5,500mw.

“The assurance we have is the East-West Gas Pipeline is projected for completion sometime towards the end of 2016. The idea is that we should be able to do slightly above 6000mw. The problem is that it depends also on increase in capacity. If we get the NIPP plants in, we are looking that 4,700mw. If we add this to the distribution companies, we can go above 9,000mw. Right now, we don’t have enough gas to do above that.

“They are looking at 2016-2017. With the gas that will come from the new and existing pipelines, the operators think that we can get enough to get us the available capacity that we have, and the recoverable capacity that the generators would have”.
He expressed the hope that the new government would do more to curb vandalism, adding that the “reports we have from them is that there is containment and vandalism has dropped as well”.

Meanwhile, the core investor of Ughelli Power Plc, Transcorp Ughelli Power Limited, has unfolded plans to ramp up the generation capacity of the plant from the current installed capacity of 972megawatt (mw) to 2200mw in the next three years.

Briefing the post privatisation monitoring team from the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), last week, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Transcorp Ughelli Power Limited, Adeoye Fadeyibi said that on takeover of the plant on November 1, 2013, the core investor inherited only four operational turbines generating only 160mw of power.

Fadeyibi, who was represented by the Chief Finance Officer (CFO), Olukunle Fagbayi, noted that by June 2015, the core investor had rehabilitated and made 13 out of the 18 units fully operational and generating about 635mw of available capacity.

He further pointed out that in the company’s generation forecast, by December 2015, the generation capacity would be raised to about 850mw and in December 2017 to about 1650mw and 2200mw in 2018.

He however lamented that due to the quality and quantity of gas available to the plant, only about 350mw could be made available to the grid.

He pointed out that another major challenge facing the company was the wheeling capacity of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and tasked the Federal Government on investment in the transmission segment of the value chain of the power infrastructure to strengthen the wheeling capacity of TCN.

He revealed that since the takeover of the plant in November 2013, the company had engaged an additional 45 staff in its payroll, assuring that Transcorp was going to surpass all the key performance indicators (KPIs) covenanted in its Post Acquisition Plan (PAP).

The CEO also revealed that as part of its corporate social responsibility, the company runs a model school with about 1,000 student enrollment as well as skills acquisition schemes for the host communities.

The BPE Post Privatization Monitoring team to Ughelli Power Plc was led by the Director, Post Privatization Monitoring Department,

Seem the NURTW has had enough of rhier members taxis being impounded daily by the VIO and decided to march in protest to VIO office at Mabushi Abuja

As I drive through the hold up as a result of the protest, the effect of tear gas filled the air and the anti riot police pursuing some guys which were likely to be the drivers of the protest vehicles running towards the pedestrian bridge through the thick traffic jam caused by the protest.

This is an eye witness report

Happening now!
Saw this as I drove past the VIO office located at Mabushi Abuja with taxis packed along the Kado expressway with placards reading 'No more task force'.
Anti riot police numbering bout 20 are at the scene with tear gas in the air. Please carefully avoid that area for now, more info later
