If you wish to talk about electricity, I could go on and lecture you about voltage, current, electromagnetic field, hysteresis losses and what have you but the issue here is project management, how to get the best out of your contractors. I wonder why your brain is soo thick that it can't understand that those mentions are nothing but examples of some failed projects of the government and why some of them failed.
your problem is why Peter Obi went to Egypt to understand how they were able to solve their electricity problem whereas Nigeria has awarded contract to the same company that built the Egypt own, right? All I'm saying is that there is also a need to study that of egypt so to know when we are been shortchanged and luckily, our incoming president is one that has a knack for knowledge, one that wants to learn, that feels the need to compete with other countries in term of modernisation.
Krismas: Ignorance. BAT was the first in Nigeria to initiate IPP far back 1999! This was the ENRON POWER PROJECT. It was OBJ that killed it. But from that BAT initiative the Nigerian government got the idea to break the monopoly of NEPA by crating PHCN. BAT cannot be compared to Atiku or OBI wen it comes to power They are learners so don’t even go there
KikBuhari2Daura: Obi is a good man but unfortunately he lacks the experience. Governance at National level goes beyond telling stories.
I find his story about buying fuel for his convoy as a Governor very repulsive, as a leader you must delegate you must have people you can trust to help you deliver, no man is an island.
Leave them, they never see anything. That man will keep this country stand still should he becomes president. Most of the things he says that they are celebrating are things that can keep a country of track or backwards for a decade. He has not groom men of his own that he can trust to do his wish and as a result, he will be tempted to want to see everything before he approves or be part of everything. They don't know that we are not talking state or regional government here, this is national affairs. He will make a good present someday on the condition that he subject himself to learn through VP slot or other national assignment.
Dude have some small wisdom and stop talking anyhow. Atiku and Tinubu will say what everyone knows or has heard since, but that is not what we want to hear. It is obvious Nigeria needs it power roadmap redrawn and what better way to do that but to learn from others who achieved it. That is why i said of all the aspirants( None is perfect though) Peter Obi has a better understanding of the issues at hand and his solutions are realistic and timebound. Not all this rubbish we keep hearing from these failed dingbats(Tinubu inclusive).
Obi is a scam Peter Obi as a matter of urgency should address these allegations because they're very weighty and I know a couple of them to be true
I got this on African History Archive
1. Those who knew Peter Obi will attest to the fact that he has been a drug dealer beginning from his days as an undergraduate at UNN. He was hardly attending lectures and only managed to graduate with a third class in Philosophy after spending 12 years in the University.
2. His brother in-law who incidentally is one of the hirelings used by him for his nefarious drug trafficking business is currently languishing in jail in far away London. This is the major cause of strain between Obi and his in-laws. It is on record that his closeness to Dubem Obazie was the because he Dubem served jail term for drug trafficking because of Peter.
3. Obi should explain his relationship with former Military Administrator, Governor lbim Princewill and Col Earnest Kizito Attah of Cross River State whom he helped as a conduit to fleece Cross River State government thus contributing to the under development of the state.
4. Obi should explain to Ndi Anambra the circumstances surrounding his father's death which remains his best kept secret. Before then we can reveal that Obi's father was drowned to death by Obi's associates in the drug trade whom he short-changed in a business deal prompting the mafias to kill the old man whom they drowned bounded hands and feet with bricks round his neck.
5. Given the level of insecurity in Anambra state, "Saint" Peter Obi should explain how he expends his security vote since it is on record that he collects over 470 million naira per month as security vote (220 million naira from Local Government and 250 million Naira from the state FAC accounts)
6. Just as Peter Obi professes his Catholicism for political expediency, we ask him to summon the moral courage and explain to Catholic faithful his relationship with the Olumba Olumba Obu (000) Cult sect where his wife is a known member. It is also on record that Peter Obi met the wife at a night club in Auchi. The lady had two children from two different men -an Albino and a Ghanaian. The affirmed Catholic is yet to wed his wife in the church.
7. Obi is yet to explain the mystery behind the 250 million naira that was found in the possession of his aides. He is yet to produce the contractor and publish the contractual agreement that stipulates that this very contractor will be paid in cash and also a reference to any other known precedents. Not even the famous late Barkin Zuwo of Kano State paid contractors in cash.
8. Obi should explain why he has continued to loot the resources of the state using his brother, Ndibe Obi, Ejike Onwusogbulu and a certain Chidi Agbapu -a Lagos based stock broker as a conduit for money laundering while the vouths in Anambra remain unemployed;
9. Obi was elected governor on the platform of APGA and it is on record that he never convened an APGA meeting thereby destroying the entire party structure. Obi should explain to party faithfuls and loyalists why he destroyed the party;
10. Obi should explain to Ndi Anambra what happened to the state local government allocations and why Anambra under Obi is the only state in Nigeria without elected local government officers in place?
In view of the foregoing, we demand his immediate resignation or face further disclosure of his criminal past and present.
PandoraObi: Atiku was practical despite he is not going to do it, but Peter Obidient was clueless and not receptive , he was talking of Egypt and he has forgotten Egypt doesn't have Igbo tribe that are celebrating unknown gunmen that are killing other igbos, he has forgotten this is Nigeria with different people with different mentality
For me, I think OBI will be better as a minister of Finance rather than a President who will be laden with lots of issues to decide on. I would have loved to have him work with Tinubu.
The more Obi talks, the more he unravels, the more he exposes himself as an empty brain and all noise. Unfortunately for him he has no structures so he has no option but to talk.

He won’t even be a good finance minister, a man who could not increase the IGR of Anambra in 8 years!!!!!
YourhealthNG2: So this nonsense and biased write up made front page?
Na wa o..
Anyway, Nigeria has never been short of plans. The problem has always been lack of sincerity of purpose and inflated contracts that hinder full implementation and realisation of the plans.
That is why Obi will be better as a minister of finance not a president. Trust me
Take for instance the Lagos light rail project. It was conceptualised by Jakande in the early 80s. Till date, 4 decades later, the project is still ongoing
He won’t even be a good finance minister, a man who could not increase the IGR of Anambra in 8 years!!!!!
True I saw that too but I thought on the side of management, follow up and cutting cost. He can be good in that aspect. Just to make sure corruption doesn't exist in our country. Because since people say he's not corrupt, then maybe he can fight corruption through that angle. Just my opinion. God bless Nigeria
so Atiku is better? Atiku was in charge of fixing power under Obasanjo and they spend 16 billion dollars and the issue has only gotten worser.
casualobserver: The more Obi talks, the more he unravels, the more he exposes himself as an empty brain and all noise. Unfortunately for him he has no structures so he has no option but to talk.
Tinubu is a thief and drug baron that stole Lagos govt purse drug. A criminal at his old age. Obi is wining this election. Tinubu is COMPLETE failure labouring himself to death.
What you reveal just shows that only dreamers, fantasist, gullible elements and ignorant folks are supporting Obi.
I don't rate Atiku but would accept him as President any day rather than the liar, propagandists and deceitful scammer called Peter Obi.
Study Obi carefully and you will note he is a carefully packaged scam. His record as Governor is totally empty and below average.
People forget he was governor in the Era of the likes of Duke, Fashola, Akpabio and others who stood out for achievement no one could doubt. Whereas everything about Obi is more propaganda than substance.
Visiting Egypt, hanging around Downing Street in London, taking silly pictures with Nigerian taxi driver in the UK ,who gave messiah Obi 'free ride, to even Hollywood A list actors endorsing Obi.
It is all scams and deceit with Obi we have not seen from Tinubu, Atiku, Kwankwaso or even Sowore who is a bit of a showman.
When Obi talks it is all evasive rhetoric with zero substance. Neubulous jargon that can't fool any averagely intelligent analyst.
I laugh at Obidullards who think attacking Tinubu is a wise strategy. Tinubu cannot join issues with the upstart Obi.
Campaign will separate the men from boys. When you talk about security Kwankwaso, Obi and Atiku will all spout rhetoric.
Yet Tinubu has been there, done it and got the t-shirt. He can point to RRS, perhaps the most professional subdivision of the Nigerian police force, he created, equipped and funded innovatively.
No be 'dem say dem say' of Obi, Kwankwaso etal.
If you want to talk economics, Tinubu simply has to point to his achievement of making Lagos the 5th or 6th biggest economy in Africa, richer than nations like Ghana, while Obi's and Kwankwaso's reign as Governors were mediocre and completely unremarkable.
Let's not even talk about the likes of Eko Atlantic City that is a stupendous ode to Tinubu's unreal vision and ability to concieve great ideas.
All in all, the reality is that no other can match Tinubu, not even remotely close, if we talk about record and achievements in political leadership and public administration.
True I saw that too but I thought on the side of management, follow up and cutting cost. He can be good in that aspect. Just to make sure corruption doesn't exist in our country. Because since people say he's not corrupt, then maybe he can fight corruption through that angle. Just my opinion. God bless Nigeria
Because A man is not a thief does not mean he is a a good manager of resources……that is how we ended up with Buhari. Sometimes a little corruption and economic progress is better than damaging or paralysis of your economy.

Well, you are right. To buttress, corruption is not prevalent only in Nigeria anyway. But we need someone who is innovative like Tinubu but corruption must be dealt with because it's one of the factors that hinder the progress of this country along with poor policy-making by our leaders. In terms of soluble decisions, I know Tinubu is capable especially in the area of innovative ideas. But the fact that Buhari could not do well in terms of economy and security under the platform of APC is why people are angry and if Tinubu doesn't campaign well and strategically it can affect him oo. An average man cannot think well when angry, I just hope angry youths can rethink before voting. Let's vote wisely. God help Naija.
ah, when people like you dey drown for river, its better to just leave you there. Atiku was in charge of fixing power with minister barth Nnaji. Atiku was there. he is responsible for the power mess we have now !!
Kennedyli: The difference is what can be done in practical and theory.
Atiku is telling you the same thing that we all read on paper about how electricity can be produced with coal and dams in those days.
Obi has gone to see people who were able to generate 25000kw of electricity in 4 years. He met all parties involved including the financiers.
So it's about bringing those people down here to replicate what they did in Egypt.
Atiku on the other hand doesn't even know wheter the dams can be actually worked on or if our coal infrastructure are still existent.
But why would Nigeria be using coal when we have enough gas and are supplying gas to other countries to generate electricity?
God bless you. Atiku only mentioned what was given to him via a script. If you know huge amount politicians spend to hire people to write all of this for them. It is well with us. Obi went their and study what others are doing. I'm not sure if other presidential candidate or any Nigerian president have gone to other countries to study their development strategy before.
Atiku sweet talk is sour! Atiku was in charge of NEPA privatisation. He was in charge of fixing power. He was working with Minister of power Barth Nnaji. So Atiku is responsible for the current Power mess we have. They should ask him these questions

The problem with many of we Nigerians is that, we hate the truth. Peter Obi lost his father when He was barely 7 year old. Obi has repeated it on television on many occasion that he conducted Local government election and you go and ask the people of the state. God will help you people with formulated questions and propanda.
frog12: but Atiku had his chance to fix the power issue when he was the vp incharge of power, and couldn't fix it. are you this dull?
I am not a supporter of Atiku but even he will be better than Obi. Like I said (since you want to go down the route of insults and since you are going down the path of antecedents) only the braindead will look at Peter Obi’s tenure in Anambra and conclude this man has any business running the country!!!

Tinubu is the best option but he will have to overcome the fact that he saddled the country with Buhari.

I repeat, I am not supporting Atiku, but bad as Atiku is he is better than Obi. That’s all I said!!! Obi is a impending disaster waiting to happen if by some miracle he becomes president.
I merely mentioned Atiku Just to tell you how clueless Obi is! A man who in yesterday’s interview doesn’t even know how much power Nigeria currently generates despite traveling to Egypt to “learn”!!!!!
Yesterday he said Nigeria generates, 4000mw. Nigeria actually has installed generation capacity of over 12000mw, the problem is transmission. He promised to raise the generation transmission and distribution capacity to 15000mw in 3 years. The fool does not know that there is already plans in place to raise it to above 20,0000mw in that 3 years!!!!! It shows the man does not know what he is talking about.
Jesus!
Ignorance. BAT was the first in Nigeria to initiate IPP far back 1999! This was the ENRON POWER PROJECT. It was OBJ that killed it. But from that BAT initiative the Nigerian government got the idea to break the monopoly of NEPA by crating PHCN.
