Sowore should keep kwayet

When it favours you ,you clap for him,he tells the truth always

This Sawore man now very useless person. I guess he is gradually shifting ground to support Tinubu and bihari government. As a journalist he would have know that the last administration of Goodluck Jonathan was building a new national gride which was near completion but abandoned by this useless and aimless government.
If there is anyone we will hold for the hardship Nigeria is passing through , he surely will be one of them . Through lies and propaganda, he help this government to come to power

tuoyoojo:
The fact he served as an adviser would not make him force his advice down the throat of the president

The problem with Nigeria is wrong people in the right places

The so-called sowore, was he not part of the people that fought to install the mannequin in aso rock, as baba show am pepper, he is now trying to be relevant

Wetin sweet me pass na the fact as Peter obi nor even send the guy....nothing pain pass make u dey try get someone attention but him just snub u

A 50 year old man when suppose they think of how to better him life dey make noise upadan. Las Las na mistake people go vote him party

Will you be that forgiving to Tinubu on the emergence of Buhari? This card of lies will fall flat as time goes on

You mean the privatization process supervised by the World Bank?!
Which great electricity companies or investors bid for these companies and were rejected?!

The privatization under the Jonathan administration is not the primary problem with electricity in Nigeria, as they keep regurgitating like ideological zombies. The owners of DISCOs and GENCOs is not the primary problem with electricity in Nigeria - and btw, the federal government presided over by Buhari still owns 40% of the equity of DISCOs and seat on the board of directors of all of the DISCOs, while the private owners (the so-called “PDP cronies”) only own 60% of each DISCO. Virtually ANYONE can own equity in electricity utility companies or any other technical companies, regardless of such owners’ technical qualifications or knowledge (or lack thereof). In the US and several advanced economies, equity of most of these companies are controlled by PE funds, VCs, pension funds, etc., not by engineers or other technical folks. Even Dangote owns the most successful cement company operating across several African nations without being an engineer. Equity owners primarily provide capital, not (necessarily) operational expertise.

Meanwhile, the GENCOs generate MORE electricity than the TCN (Transmission Company of Nigeria), owned 100% and solely operated by the federal government presided over by Buhari, has the ability to transmit, leaving an average of about 2000MW of generated electricity “stranded” everyday. The primary issue with electricity in Nigeria is principally at the distribution level, where the federal government owns 40% of the DISCOs, controls regulation through NERC and has refused to allow the cost-reflective tariffs promise pre-privatization and was a VITAL premise of the BUSINESS CASE for the privatization. The result is that DISCOs continue to be FORCED to sell electric power at BELOW production costs (an average of N38kw/h tariffs for electric power produced at an average cost of N58kw/h), which even your roadside Buka or Akara seller understands is not a sustainable business model. The outcome is that DISCOs are unable to fully pay GENCOs, who are unable to fully pay gas producers/suppliers and who in turn are dis-incentivize to invest in more gas production and stop flaring.

It is clear that neither Buhari nor his Apologists fully understand the BASICS of the electricity debacle (nor, tbh, of most other things). Rather, they continue to cling onto his FEUDAL AND CENTRIST impulses and sensibilities. Accordingly, they want to dismantle private enterprise and continue to expand BIG GOVERNMENT- because perhaps the one thing General Buhari really seems to enjoy the most about being president has been appointing HIS PEOPLE into positions of authority.

Many people here knows nothing. They will not even understand this one here you wrote. Nigeria is a very pathetic country.

Obi was the adviser to Jonathan when Discos and Gencos were sold to PDP cronies who know little or nothing about generation and distribution of electricity. Today, Obi, Atiku and the other PDP rogues that created the mess are the ones making the loudest noise about the problem they created.

It’s just unfortunate that Nigerians forget things too easily. Under Jonathan, power supply was extremely woeful. Buhari hasn’t performed to expectations to doubt but he has invested a lot in power generation and transmission. PDP members like Obi and Atiku that participated actively in spending $16billion to generate darkness should not be talking at all.

U just type nonsense lies here oga. Obi was only an adviser on Economy and not Power. Try dey think the kain lie u go dey spew for public.

Wickedfact:
Obi suddenly stripped naked.

Go and market ur Sowore..leave our Obi alone..sufferhead

Well said and educative...but NL dudes won't just gerrit

Wickedfact:
It was Obi who opened his mouth thoughtlessly. He thought everyone has short memories like his obituary fools.

De like ur comment by urself. Swine

PlayerMeji:
Hey

iDumb hate to see people come out against their new found love, Pitobi!

Forgetting that this is the same man they just exposed his backside not too long ago.

They think SOWORE is SEUN who they heckled till he began to do their biddings, everyone now knows the true color of the PITOBI movement!

It's an IGBO agenda not a Nigerian Agenda!

Wetin de inside bullion van? Where ur drug baron?

Johnrake69:
Hehehehehehehe. You're the one fooling yourself

Which Seun be this?

fvck:
You know the issue with Sowore? He staged himself as a critic,and do u know what critics are? They just stay and search for people's flaws or mistakes to mastobate about,let Sowore do and Cum so he can rest.

Best award goes to Sowore for the longest "non-cumer"

If Obi is bad we will vote him out,no damn sentiment attached.

Obi is not my father or friend,neither is he my f.o.e ,but I truly want a change in regime.

And are you not criticizing Tinubu? Ipobs are hypocrites

Sowore is the biggest fool ever. I thought he was learned. Peter Obi is bigger than 1billion times.

Sowore, how come you no longer attack the President as before?

This man as much as I don't like his way but at this point he said the truth to both Atiku and Obi but obi supporters will clamp on him as usual thats what they know how to do instead of them to use their sense, some even said obi is just a SA not the president so If he see this please he/she should, please tell us the work of SA to a president?
If that is the case does that mean Obi doesn't know the work he was employed to do as SA?
To be honest many people are been brainwashed with dirty stories from ipob obi supporters may God clear their eye it won't be too late .

Ogaga87:
Mumu..
When Tinubu called his party mushroom and that they will labour in vain, you not hear that one.. And because you not know English, make I talk am again make you understand.....: only Obi na sowore, Tinubu and liar Mohammed dey fight..


I have 133 likes on that comment.. So only you not understand and you dey brag

You are a fool for calling me mumu thunder faya you.. take your stupid likes to bank and collect money ewu!
You and those giving you likes are dunce, there is no insult in what he said. LP is a mushroom party, a party without structure that can not even get 5,000 in Osun elections. Such party will labour in vain that is a fact not an insult!
And what about you people calling Tinubu different names? That one no be insult? Obi cannot win election so go and hug transformer and die.

You are the one with a short memory. During Jonathan's era power was way better than what we have today and I use to buy 100 units for N1000. Today with the poor power situation we pay N1000 for 20 units and you are here talking balderdash. Suffer no dey tire you? Leave Obi alone. If you have a problem then face Buhari. Imagine you saying Buhari's government has invested a lot. If they invested a lot as they deceived you to believe then we should see improvements. That's how they claimed they've invested a lot in security yet our soldiers are always complaining of lack of sophisticated weapons to fight Fulani herdsmen. Where all the investment dey go? Use your head mister man.

GeneralPula:
Fight?
How did he fight Peter Obi?
He only reminded Peter Obi that he was once in a position to change power situation but he failed..

as in the minister of power or what?
he was once in what position to change power situation?

Continue spinning lies, shameless thing

IbileIfe:
Stop arguing lack an ignorant idiot.

Nigeria's power generation is mostly thermal and hydro with installed capacity of about 12,522 MW.13 Oct 2021
Nigeria is endowed with large oil, gas, hydro and solar resources, and it has the potential to generate 12,522 MW of electric power from existing plants. On most days, however, it is only able to dispatch around 4,000 MW, which is insufficient for a country of over 195 million people.
https://www.usaid.gov › powerafrica
Power Africa in Nigeria | Fact Sheet - USAID

You are the ignorant idiiiot who refused to accept the fact that power generation in Nigeria gradually dropped from 4000MW in 2015 to the 40MW it's today.
Installed capacity 12522MW but we have a meagre 40MW today. Why would your Islamists running Nigeria not optimise power generation from the Installed capacity? They are rather interested in paying ransom to bandits and freeing captured Islamic terrorists and compensating the terrorists.

LOL see grown men spinning lies just to discredit the man

They will soon say he was power minister, idiots

seyimailbox:

You don't have to go far my brother. Tinubu’s daughter paid for a house in U.S over 1 billion naira cash, someone without any known income.

Imagine how many hospitals, factories or schools that would build . Just imagine

He takes a tithe of lagos state revenue asides using his puppets to run key infrastructure in the state. Imagine giving him the whole country.

Tinubu supported buhari for what he planned to gain, nothing more, nothing less

You want me to mortgage my future to such a man.

Bros, suffer nor dey tire you.

All of a sudden, they want to exonerate Obi from the collective mess and failures of the PDP Government that has continued to hunt the Country seven years after they have been booted out of power. Only a shallow brain teenager will take them serious

for once pretend to have small sense. Was he the adviser on power, even if he was, does an adviser have the power to implement? You will just be talking trash because of a drug cartel boss.
You claim buhari has invested so much on power yet NG keep collapsing every week. Is the power situation any better now? This administration is even more corrupt than PDP and they have only spent 8yrs. Imagine they spend 16yrs...abeg get small sense abeg...I dey vex

Electricity was worse under PDP . There was no light for months then. I know all these collapse can't be far from those who want to sabotage the Nigerian Government.

olas24u:
When it favours you ,you clap for him,he tells the truth always

What truth...since when does an adviser have to power to implement said advice?

PDP pro max

Obi can only be sold with aggression and insult, no existing legacy to brag with.
His Obidiotsss are always angry when you prefer a 1st class material to a 3rd class student of 7 years.
How can I choose failure/mediocrity over brilliance bayi o?
Imagine a failure ruling over a failed country...omo.

Sebi you guys sabi make noise to attack Tinubu online instead of dwelling on real issues. You go tire when the real campaign start. You never see anything. Wait make campaign start proper you go see say no be only you guys get monopoly of stupidity. Carry go now. You never know wetin hit you until the APC Government reason your Obidient matter and release several Arsenal from online, print and broadcast media people both professionals and dumb bloggers like the ones promoting your 3rd-class graduate Chairman Mao. Just wait!

Leave them they don't know who they r dealing with.
Tinubu will finish them with words,manifesto and his blue print will leave their jaws wide open.
Just one word from osun campaign cause them a deep pain. They will labour in vain

Actually, the guy you quoted is right.

The 40mw was what was available for transmission during the recent grid collapse. Grid collapse allows some power to be tansmitted...not all the power...plus it was what was available[sup][/sup] for transmission to the AEDC zone (fct, nassarawa, kogi, niger, some parts of Kaduna state.).

If 40 mw was all we were generating...the whole country won't have had light for 23 hours a day, with most parts not even getting any power at all.

At the moment, with the transmission working. we have about 3000-5000 MW for transmission(I've seen a figure of 7000MW), while our installed capacity...(this is where the guy you quoted now gets it wrong)...is around 12322 MW. The reason why we do not get 12322 mw daily is because of the awful transmission system mainly (we also export a bit of the power)

Even then we need something like 50000mw before we can start talking of 24 hours light. Lagos alone...the city not the state, needs 10000mw daily for 24/7 light..if not more.

You don't want agbado, you don't want Obi, you don't want Atiku; let Buhari continue naa!
