MBU the action cop.
Yes!... There should be no room for mediocrity and insolence. Any politician found wanting shall face the barrel of the gun!
That frog eyed politician(you know him) should be forewarned.
"don't ask any question, just shoot; after shooting, then ask questions"...... Adolf Hitler.

What if you are the victim of the illegal killing? Ever thought of that?

OP,
You could have made your points without attacking the person or his religious predilection. Unnecessary abuse diverts from a good discussion.

I'm not an energy expert but i consume energy and therefore follow the trends in the sector, trends which points to fallacies in your post.

1. First point of correction is that Prof gave the modular plant option as a short term fix. That is never meant to be the long term solution to energy problem.

2. He always states clearly that the gas infrastructure is the biggest factor and that would take time to fix but the modular option is one of the alternatives whilst work goes on on the gas infrastructure

3. The modular system, clearly is for captive areas i.e. industrial parks to sustain SMEs mainly. You should listen to him again without any prejudice.

4. About modularity, it is working in Lagos and i have also seen it work in countries like Lebanon, with acute energy shortages like ours. Note again that these are short term palliatives

5. On the Prof himself, from a personal assessment over time, i formed the view that he is one of the most brilliant Nigerians around. At a certain level of experience in professional life, functional skills give way to powers of analysis and visioning. Hence, an engineer will contribute meaningfully to discussions on medicine on the peripheral and likewise a lawyer can discuss energy. Point out the areas of disagreement and do not ask anybody to keep quiet- that is intelluctally churlish.
Don't forget that the first IPP in Nigeria was done when a lawyer, late Bola Ige (SAN) was Minister of Power, albeit the project was carried out by Lagos State governed then by an accountant.
Please rest assured that the energy problems we have are not borne out of lack of engineers- the Power Reform Roadmap will show you there is a plan. However, the main problem is the lack of execution skill or will which can be bridged when we have serious people in govt.

A pointer, or poser to you is that, if we are currently doing well on Power, how come we are still tottering on the verge of 4,500 MW when as of August 2010, the date of the Power Reform Roadmap we were generating about the same 4,500 MW? Please read the document and confirm for yourself.

Why then inspite of the clear Roadmap, have we not been able to add extra MWs for 5 years and we are stuck where the current President met generation or even less?

About a week ago, we opened the bets on for
members to bet on who they believe will win the presidential
election between, Jonathan, Buhari and the rest.

Click https://www./bets/category/3/15335/1 to
see.

Because there are lots of Buhari fans online and all the noise
of change, we thought many people will back the General.

But funny enough, very few people bet on Buhari. Most people
have been putting money on GEJ despite having smaller odds.

What we don't understand is if there are no Buhari fans on
or dem no get liver.

Where do you stand? Back it up with money.

Most Buhari supporters are honest hardworking people not gullible people you can lure into gambling

The shortsighted ones continue to say the economy is doing well when in real terms their purchasing power is eroded.
Whatever your ethnic or religious reasons for promoting the ghost achievements of this govt, hope your tribe or religion will suffice in making ends meet.

Skanas:
...and you think just becos you all are APC and screaming GMB/change that this "abokis" see your brothers as theirs abi?...that's one thing u GMBites have failed to understand...

This your comment promotes ethnic division. You should examine yourself, I'm sure you have more relatives in the North earning a living than Northerners have in your state. It's because of divisive views like yours. They accommodate your people, you are hostile to their people yet you continue to speak evil of them. What more do you want?

Despots don't reach the height of arrogance overnight. They gradually increase in impunity. Some people say those whom the gods want to kill, they first make mad. Moving against Jega and appointing Mimiko's brother obviously would be a continuation of that trend of impunity. He should remember Abacha and he should note that Abacha was even more powerful, wiser and more fearful to the extent that didn't have any political opposition other than NADECO which was in disarray, that was when God showed His power.

I'm sure he's gone to Okija shrine to see the high priest. The video will soon surface. He also needs to visit Ogboni, the shrines of Oshoffa and Orimolade, after all not all Yoruba Xtian are Pentecostals

Classic case of seeking Kingdom without good works. Pressy, you have turned your pastors to 'god of men'. your faith should be for God and not for show off. The true meaning of secularity is where govt is kept out of religious circles and no religion is elevated above another as state religion. We should know a leader is religious by the care he shows his citizens not by the number of pastors he carvorts with.
You can't serve man and God together. Don't demean the office further, Nigerians are wiser. If you continue practicing the politics of religion and division, God will keep exposing you. The Ekiti tapes of yesterday is a small thing. More revelations are coming. God is certainly not mocked.
To the religious bigots, if this was Buhari rotating around mosques and Imams, you would say he's a fundamentalist.

tonytony208:
is that the lies you guys use to pacify yourselves, that FGN frustrated Fashola's rail project. Kindly show us here GEJ frustrated fashola. If not thou art yet another apc lier.

And where did you get the idea that state rail projects should be a federal government's responsiblity?

APC lying to themselves since time immemorial.

You see how illiterate you are? You want to disseminate opinion without acquiring knowledge. Please check the Exclusive Legislative List (if you know what that is or where to find it) and confirm who's responsibility railway is. I'm sure if you read some more you'll know of GEJ's refusal to promptly approve FG's rail corridor for Lagos State's use. I can see what Lagos is doing on its rail project which it started from scratch. Note on the other hand that there isn't adequate budgetary provision for the FG project you are excited about, especially as the Capex head of the budget is now just $2 billion.

Is CAN now a political party? Plus National Commission for Refugees say there are about 1 million refugees in the North East. Is the CAN spokesman telling lies?

Someone should plead with these people not to burn this country. Why call for an umpires arrest because you fear defeat? They complain of repression yet turn around and perpetrate the same when they have power. Nigeria will survive beyond this dispensation and these people beating the drums of discord would check out on pretext of going for medical check up once trouble starts. Neither they nor their children plan to be part of the carnage they are stoking. Please don't follow them blindly!

tonytony208:
go and ask raji fashola and his moribund and fraudulent light rail project that question. Also ask amechi and his fraudulent 19 billion naira loan that he coaxed the state assembly to approve. Maybe you also want to ask him to give account of how he spent d money.

And do not forget to ask fashola why lagos is the most corrupt state in Nigeria in 2014.

The change apc is preaching is fake.

Those govs you mentioned started landmark rail projects and we can see the structures. Arguably, they would have concluded if Gej did not frustrate them. Don't forget, rail transportation is the responsibility of the FG. Now a challenge to you, please show me any brand new rail project that Gej commenced and concluded in his tenure.

Just as the comedian makes his comment, he should pray to live up to that age of 72. May he not be afflicted with any of these common ailments that require treatment in India, because then he would realise how bad the country has turned in the last few years and how he may need to beg for money despite all he earned from pdp

The suit is nice and fits but the tie colour is not sober enough. More importantly, the length of the tie should be up to the belt buckle, except if he's imitating poorly dressed Nollywood actors.

Blazinraj01:
Obasanjo was 62 when he became president and not 70 while Yar'adua was 55.

Interesting that the President would make all these errors. He can't tell that Yaradua (whom he worked with closely) died before at 58, yet he says someone can't remember phone number. What's the use of a PhD if it's not accompanied with mental acuity?

manny4life:
In the country where I reside, they don't give unemployed graduates a "stipend". This is an example; among other issues raised, I'd like for APC to address this. Like Soludo asked, when there is no new money, how will they manage this? Will the govt borrow to achieve this aim?

The N5k stipend is not necessarily for all unemployed youth. It's for 25m most vulnerable in the society, most likely old people and handicapped upon meeting set conditions. On costing, that's N125b, less than a billion $ and its for a short while. I'm sure blocking wastages through crude theft alone will fund this.

cesareborgia:
Unfortunatly this party skipped the most important Fact...Nigeria needs true federalism...Every state must control their resources and inspire growth...the monopoly in the center must stop....APC is not the messiah of Nigeria...they do not see a nigeria that brings true government closer to the people...And PDP are a cluless bunch of politicians using dinner table politics on Nigeria...WE NEED A REVOLUTION!!!!

Please read the APC manifesto. I extracted the following from there on Structure of Governance:
"I, Muhammadu Buhari, believe that our politics is broken. Our nation urgently needs fundamental political reform and improvement in governance more transparency and accountable. If you nominate me in December, 2014 and elect me in February 2015, my administration will:
Initiate action to amend the Nigerian Constitution with a view to devolving powers, duties, and responsibilities to states in order to entrench true Federalism and the Federal spirit;
Strengthen INEC to reduce, if possible, eliminate electoral malpractices in Nigerian’s political life;
Attract the best and brightest of our sons and daughters into our politics and public service by aggressive recruitment of private sector people, academics, and professionals within Nigeria and in the Diaspora through internships, fellowships, executive appointments, and special nomination to contest elective offices;
Prevent the abuse and misuse of Executive, Legislative and Public offices, through greater accountability, transparency, strict, and implementable anti-corruption laws, through strengthening and sanitising the EFCC and ICPC as independent entities;
Amend the Constitution to remove immunity from prosecution for elected officers in criminal cases;
Restructure governance for a leaner, more efficient, and adequately compensated public service sector, while promoting effective participation of the private sector for more robust job creation programmes to employ the teaming youth.;
Require full disclosure in media outlets, of all government contracts over N100m prior to award and during implementation at regular intervals;
Reform and Strengthen the Justice System for efficient administration and dispensation of justice with the creation of special courts for accelerated hearing of corruption, drug trafficking, terrorism and similar cases of national importance;
Fully enforce the Freedom of Information Act l so that government held data sets can be requested and used by the public and then such data sets be publish on regular basis;
Amend the Constitution to require Local governments to publish their meeting minutes, service performance data, and items of spending over N10M.

icecalm:
The hatred of a man will take you no where. Nigeria being against itself is no new idea to the Psyche, the same mentality of our fathers' runs in our blood stream and this is one of the major reason we hardly become progressive.
The lack of political ideology is malignant to sayings, so be cautioned before saying gibberish.







all the GEJ till 2019.

I do not hate GEJ. I desperately wanted him to do well for Nigeria's sake. Love or follower ship should however not be masochistic or blind. What I hate is his nonchalance about the BH issue and the effect on the victims. I am thus tempted to belief OBJ's account below:
“I also found believable the statement allegedly credited to the president after both the Nyanya explosion and the Chibok school girls abduction to the effect that since some people in the North had said that they would make Nigeria ungovernable, they could keep on killing and abducting each other. Regardless, I do hope that the president did not say anything like this, because if he did it would amount to the height of callousness and insensitivity.
The actions and inaction stemming from the president not believing or accepting at first that those school girls were indeed abducted were appalling. Countries like Britain and the US, who offered to help with rescue efforts within the first twenty-four hours of the abduction, were told from our Ministry of Foreign Affairs that their help was not needed. It was only after eighteen days that the president sprang into some sort of action. Again, what a pity! Two foreign correspondents who had interacted with people very close to the president told me that those people remain unconvinced that any school girls were abducted. They believed that it was all a ploy to deny the president the opportunity to win the next election[…]”

You are as r-etard--ed as your comment. you should be ashamed of yourself. Rubbish. Respond and let thunder fire you. You heartless political e-rat using people's misfortune to play politics. Continue to blame GEJ and not think of why the insurgent is ever increasing in number that they can try to take over a whole town. Where are they all from?

I don't curse people so I can't be deterred by your curses. It shows rather that you've had a difficult upbringing when you reply discussions with abuse and curses. You can hardly unlearn things you imbibed early in life. Now to the main issue, there was massive security just yesterday followed by demobilisation after the campaign. Any person would tell you that the place was least protected and the people were less on their guard at that point. What happened afterwards could have been prevented had the army stayed around for longer. Ask this question, why was that massive deployment not available all year round despite the incessant attacks on the communities in Bornu? And to your question where the majority of the insurgents are from, does that make it right for the victims to be killed without protection from govt? So if tomorrow, OPC starts killing Yoruba people, the victims shd be left to their fate? You are probably more intelligent than looking at issues through primordial ethnic prisms. Quit letting your emotions overtake your expected intelligence.

The soldiers are only available to protect Jonathan, not the people. See the bad luck he brought on them by his visit? When he left, he gave them sorrow, tears, blood and death. It's a shame

Can Uniport make this thesis available and save the President from embarrassment? I'm beginning to believe there is no thesis after all or that the real thesis is a product of plagiarism. Better still, can any student or lecturer in Uniport just request for a copy from the Uniport PG school and confirm or refute once and for all?

Nctrice:
the sound of a master calling his dogs to order!!

Your comment is not a fair assessment of Gov. Shettima. Please follow his utterances, anytime he speaks you know he's a leader, always respectful, almost non-partisan and on point. It's unfortunate that his state is beset with the insurgency scourge otherwise we could have seen a high performing governor.

sampeyo:
Is GEJ thesis the bone of contestion isi Azu like u. Could any man obtain Doctorate degree cert without thesis mumu at leat u have seen it on facebook
My people the most important thing is that the Association of Past criminals. Preidential Candidates can not even defend his primary six talkless of school cert. How can we vote for anybody without sound education

You need to improve your English before you contribute on public fora. Your spellings, tenses, grammar and structure are atrocious. The irony is that you too are commenting about certificates.

mrrock:
Buhari entered the Nigeria military with a written note from his school principal. This should tell any unbiased person that he dropped out of secondary school. Otherwise, I'll like to know why he joined the Nigeria military with a written note from his school principal instead of his secondary school certificate.

The north believed they're born to rule, so academic qualifications were not necessary for a northerner to rise to the top of any government office. This certificate is a forgery.

But you didn't have to comment now, Why exhibit crass and undiluted ignorance?

here's the doctoral certificate; found it on Facebook. I can't find the thesis, though. The original title of this thread said certificate/thesis.

The question is not whether he got the certificate, rather it's about content of his thesis. He should follow good example and make full disclosure.

According to a Yoruba proverb, 'don't give me tidings of death, we will all die at one time or the other'. Fayose, should not ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for him as well. This is what you get when you put the scraped barrel dregs in office, tasteless and leaving nothing sacrosanct. If he gave it second thoughts, he would realize that he just conceded victory and shows PDP is now only concerned about whether Buhari will serve the 4 years.
Secondly, what is this bit about North should wait? Are we back to sectionalism? Fayose must have a very low IQ. Finally, the newspaper itself should practice some self censorship. Not everything can be excused on account of free speech.

charlesamos123:
from 1500mgw GEJ has done tremendously well by increasing the megawatts to 400mgw. In some places in Nigeria we can boast of 48 hours uninterrupted power supply and even more. What more can we ask for. GEJWINNINGTEAM.

Stop these lies. The Power Roadmap signed by Jonathan in August 2010 stated clearly that the generation level when he took over was 3950 MW. Goggle the document and stop repackaging failure and incompetence.

So if I would regard or listen to a lawyer, is it Ozekhome that was once apprehended for snatching a ballot box during elections?

There is currently no subsidy on diesel, have you wondered why the price of diesel has not gone down? If you think it through, you'll realize this govt is not interested in ensuring low price for the common man, rather keep it high so their friends in 'oil & gas' can profiteer.
