Our African history has shown us that: when you turn against the Natural Laws / Universal laws, your creative ability starts to decline.

Unknown to us, we are likely the descendants of Atlantis, which after being destroyed, Egypt emerged from.
Yet, that memory has left us. And we're now reduced to slaves to every other nation of humankind & mankind.

Our sins, led to our decline.

Sir, corruption is the problem. Take it out of government hands and you should soon see the difference. We should avoid France and China and Germany who are more adept at playing ball with our corrupt leaders and public servants than U.S.A.

But it's only the transmission that I believe is in the hand of the government. Though what you said which is corruption is our biggest problem in Nigeria. If we can deal with corruption headlong,60 percent of our problems has been solved.

Does it mean African, Nigeria cannot do anything on their own successfully?

I don't think colour of skin is the problem here but the mindset, heart and mind to be exceptional and be positive to making a different.

So, no good person with good motives in this country again?

O ti pari - e don finish.

E get as e be na. … When former minister of power did not do what he is advising the in coming minister of power to do.

To be fair, this is just the opinion of ONE ALHAJI, not the generality of Nigerians and leaders.

bixton:
Well Senator Goje is not entirely wrong.
But before that is done, why don't he propose a bill that will allow the Chinese government or any other advance country as he mention come and occupy all political positions from Federal to State and Local government, National Assembly(Both houses), all State House Assemblies, all State and Federal Universities, President, VP, State Governors, Deputy Governors, PAs, SSA, etc, etc, run and operate the Nigerian nation for 20 years and hand over to us...
This should be the proposal he should be doing and not that no sense he is talking over there......

I bet you, he is among those who give out wheelbarrow and shovel as empowerment tools to his constituents.

There are at least six foreign telecom companies in Nigeria along with some Nigerian companies. There are foreign companies in the oil industry why are they not colonizing Nigeria yet?
A couple of days ago here on this website we have people calling Dangote a monopolist for saying his company intends to provide 20000 MW of electricity for Nigeria.
You are damn if you do damn if you don't. Nigerians are wonderful people.

As regards Dangote and his 20000 MW of electricity, I think he should, have that done, first his State of origin and place of residence and secondly he should keep it to just the North region and not Nigeria as a whole.


There are others who would do same on their own State of origin and place of residence.

This is aost stupid thing to say.
Choma is already in charge of our satellites, do you know the implications of this for national security?

Now you want to give them the power to hold the country ransom any time they like.

China already has a vicious grip on the country. Generations yet unborn may suffer for those projects they are building and financing under unknown terms and conditions.

Electricity is not some food you can eat. He produces cement but I wonder how many houses you've built.

Let another country manage our govt and National assembly too. It is not only power sector that is failing.Stupid politicians

What is the basis of your comments....

If you are one of those who come on platforms to get confrontational and personal on issues pertaining to the nation, today is not that day....

Do you have records of how many houses Dangote has built!!!!!

Or probably you should tell me how many you have built with proof of ownership.....!!!

brain54:
Colonial mentality and low self esteem...


He doesn't even believe the country has what it takes to manage it's own power. He rather wants to push a sensitive and important infrastructure as power in the hands of foreigners.


And these are the people we have in government o.


Oga senator Goje electricity is not rocket science. What it takes is planning and willpower.


So many things are fundamentally wrong with these people chosen to participate and represent in government. No nation can ever grow when it has leaders with such mindset!

That would be extremely dangerous so if we have political tension with China, China will plunge us into darkness.

Let the presidency and the legislative arn enact capital punishment and see every thighs resets automatically

I knew it would fly over your head. What is the basis of your argument that should Dangote supply 20000 MW of electricity only to the north?

He should be there, in 20 years time a good number of southern states would have sorted out their power issues while the North will continue with their ways...

I said, let him start from the North.....

Nigeria developed faster during the regional government era. Waiting for monthly crude oil money which they do little and loot the rest has done us more bad than good. Nobody thinks outside the box anymore. Tribalism is another thing dragging us backward. Regionalism will bring about competition and development / getting things right

God this our leaders they get Brian so I don't think is like na Nyach them den used think

Fools

Well said from Danjuma Goje.. fully supported!

Gbadugbakun:
Hate this man all you like Nigeria isn't ready to be independent. Nothing the government manages is productive. So if giving electricity to Chinese people to manage would make the light stable, I support we give it to them

Exactly!

Goinhard:
When some people say that the British should have left around 1999 I tend to accept their point... Since 1960 Nigerian government by Nigerians could only provide darkness nation wide. National grid falls in love everyday.

They should have left 2020 my brother

Kind of funny to see the commnets on this site.

Nigerians are running away from the real problem, which is lack of cost reflective tarrifs, which is preventing investment and so forth.

The government is of the same mind, which is why they are handing over our electricity assets to the Chinese. As long as they can run away from charging cost reflective tarrifs, all is well, and they will get elected.

I just dey laugh at nigerians and their government. The government does not want to charge cost reflective tarrifs, and the people are opposed to cost reflective tarrifs, despite all the evidence that charging a cost reflective tarrifs in any business works.

Well, let's keep lying to ourselves or blaming foreigners or outside powers. We always want someone to come and biuild something for us free of charge.

Originalsly:
Is it a must to have one entity providing electricity nationwide? Why can't there be independent providers in each State? ... or for the various cities or LGA's? Why can't the Private sector be providers? ...with the local government having oversight and controls on rates?...as done in many developed countries? Twenty years for China to run electricity....after that what? ...we will take over when pats begin to fail? We'll be back to square one.... pouring money into rehabilitation...year after year with increasing blackouts. These 20th century analog stars need to sit down .

GBAM, this is the solution...

I am sure he can get a good revenue from that area if he starts there....
