The 5 iiidiiots who asked the whites to go after independence are collateral fools

Jonathan and PDP were the bigger curses!

Could we say our founding fathers are worst selfish pushing Nigeria to independent? The truth is, if south African had attained independent in 1960,i can bet they wouldn't have had these development and probably end up like other black African countries that's struggling.
The Ingenization and nationalisation policy in post independent days in Nigeria ensure all companies are handed over to greedy Nigerians that lack the expertise at that time. There were massive industries to the agricultural value chain Industry to the textile industry, to the shoe and leather industry to the cocoa industry to almost everything.

One things is certain, if our Independence had come in 1990s, some certain things would have been in place and more white would have filled our Nigeria street. Probably we would have many mixed race than ever as found in cape Verde.

..south Africa getting their development right..putting in money that leads to progress & development..In just a span of 2_3 yrs..they succeeded in adding almost 3000MW to their existing generating power..almost what Nigeria currently generates since over 40yrs..

..while a president who did not snatch & grab is effectively creating opoortunities for his country men & women...Thief'nubu is looting funds meant for development ...roasting electricity with a fraudulent down payment..

..where is that toutish incompetent Minister of power who was appointed because he is a Yoruba man..whose only solution to improve the power is to tell citizens to off their AC's & refrigerator..

..Allah must punish Thief'nubu..insha allah..

We want uninterrupted grid power at cheap tariff, ask an average South African household how much they spend on electricity monthly. When we are ready for cost reflective tariff then we should be expecting improved power supply. Without the right tariff, the power sector won't attract meaningful investment. Shout out to consumers on band A, they are the real odogwu

How old were you when OBASANJO cleared all our foreign debts?

Just say the truth......

South Africa has gone 150 consecutive days without any planned power outages, the state power utility Eskom said at the weekend.

This milestone marks a dramatic turnaround from over a year ago when South Africa was plagued by persistent and record load shedding (planned powercuts) that disrupted daily life, inflated food prices and eroded investor confidence.

“The recovery plan has not only made Eskom’s power stations more reliable but has also demonstrated enhanced efficiency,” the state-owned power utility said.

The turnaround began with the appointment of Kgosientsho Ramokgopa as the country’s first-ever electricity minister in March 2023, a role created in response to the escalating energy crisis.

Alongside this, the government injected about R250-billion (N23-trillion) into Eskom to stabilise the utility as well as appointing Dan Marokane as its permanent CEO in December.

The rand has responded well to the development after ending 2023 as one of the few emerging market currencies with losses versus the dollar.

Its fortunes have been boosted by the improvement in electricity supply along with a coalition government that’s considered market friendly after the May election.

The currency has gained 3.7% in the year to date and trades at about R17.70/$.

USE YOUR DAMN HEAD.

OUR FIRST POWER PLANT WAS BUILT IN 1964 - FOUR YEARS AFTER INDEPENDENCE.

The British came here to LOOT.

They built NOTHING in their 80 year rule.

Point to ONE infrastructure you see around you that was built by the British.

The WHOLE Nigeria was a BUSH when they left in 1960.

In South Africa it was DIFFERENT.

VERY DIFFERENT.

The colonialists regarded it as 'THEIR COUNTRY', and invited their people to settle there in droves, due to the temperate climate, no heat, no mosquitoes, no malaria etc.

THEREFORE, they did NOT loot the economy and siphon all export profits to Europe, as they did in other black territories like Nigeria.

Because in case you've forgotten, the VERY REASON for colonisation is to loot your economy for the benefit of the coloniser. So calling for them to rule you is the height of imbecility.

So by the 1860s in South Africa, they had built the first POWER PLANTS AND UNIVERSITIES, AND EVEN ENGINEERING INSTITUTES.

By the 1920s they had over 10 universities!

Nigeria's first university was established in 1960, the year of Independence!

By the 1930s, Johannesburg was a fully developed, world class city.

Lagos only began serious growth in the 1970s.

So STOP COMPARING NIGERIA TO SOUTH AFRICA.

They began their modern development, including the development of their modern institutions such as the judiciary, at least a CENTURY before Nigeria.

That is why they are where they are.

That is why no other African country is like them - their colonial invaders did not loot their economy.

No other reason.

But Nigeria is catching up.

Only a matter of time.

Tinubu and BUHARI are big time curses to Nigeria.
