anonimi:


I would be very careful in my comments if I were you given the cause of the drop and the timing.
In case you did not notice the drop was caused by gas pipeline vandalism and happened in the past one week.

When did Buhari make his speech that you now say he is vindicated
Given his Boko Haram stance I would say tread carefully, ok?

Moreover, the announcement further reflects the greater transparency of this Jonathan/Sambo federal administration.

Even if they say you anonimi caused it you will still support them. History have never recorded such sycophants as we have in this period. Abacha is turning with jealousy in his grave. Tufia!!! Are you guys this hungry?

Indeed we are, so carry on Mr President.

I was about to say the same thing. Let's wait and watch them blame Tinubu and buhari

That's exactly what they are going to do. It is very sad that the Government is always blaming its incompetence on the opposition...it's the easy way out. This is similar to some Christians always blaming witches and the devil for their lack of success.

Kia, Im ashamed of so many of us here, how may power stations depend on water? so Una no know say na Gas stations dey generate %90 of todays electricity? now tell me whets the benefit of vandalizing the Gas pipeline? you cant steal and sell gas unlike petrol crude Oil etc? so these vandals must be people who don't want the power station to run for their selfish interest maybe to sell generators or to discredit GEJ I don't know

Thanks for your corroboration.
Summary of your comment is: that the little coming from dams during rainy season is responsible for the marginal, but seasonal improvement.

This is depressing. We seem to be running around in circles here. On a general note, I think vandalism is just one of the problems. [b]What about the generator importers? I bet they will do anything to make sure we remain in darkness. [/b]This is what you get when you don't tackle issues on time. If this power issue had been tackled years ago, we would not be talking of generators in the first place. We lack leaders who can see and project into the future.


That's very true. They will do just about anything to keep their business alive.

We know this administration led by a retàrd has nothing good to offer this country. It is so pathetic!
The major need of Nigerians is POWER and all this bastàrd corrupt old fool knows it but will NEVER want to fix it.
ARE WE CURSED IN THIS COUNTRY?
- we have surplus crude oil
- we have surplus gas
- we have surplus dams
Yet for 54 years after independence, we can't fix this one thing.
The problem is so worrisome that sometimes, I begin to think it's impossible to achieved steady power even after ALL the BILLON DOLLARS that has been spent on it in the last 15 years. History will never forget Obasanjo who stole and squandered billions of dollars too on its course.
Texas is just a state in U.S bigger than the whole Nigeria but it's electricity producing plant just cost 2 billion dollars.
GEJ said he will fix power in four years if given the opportunity in 2011 and that, "four years is enough to fix power, if I can't do it in four years, I can never do it".
How I wish this clueless corrupt drunk was able to do this one thing, I would have wholeheartedly supported him if he cares to do 3 terms till 2023.
Enough is enough!
come 2015, we will take our country back from PDP.
WE NEED THIS CHANGE.

we do not need to politizie it.

I need a presidential aspirant out there to assure us that we would make use of the coal we have in this country, I just don't understand why that is so hard to achieve.

Power by fossil fuels is the first thing any Electrical Engineer learns in his Power 101 class. It is really disheartening to see all our "power eggs", so to speak, being placed in one basket; the natural gas basket.

Please take a look at the distribution of energy sources in the U.S:

Also, it's high time the government placed extremely high penalties on vandals. Left to me any vandal caught should serve life imprisonment.
Vandasl should be sentenced to death cos their act can lead to death of innocent people,Now regards Coal, there are loads in Enugu state, what stops the govt in the east to invest in power production or champion the NIPP like we got in the south, everyone wants quick money and no one wanna bell the cat, all these govt in the East four states Anambra, Enugu, Imo and Abia could use the coal they got, everybody relying on Oil since 1800.

pdp govt is about privatizing our airports and from the look of things, they will soon privatize aso rock so that any other govt coming in future can be operating from their private homes.
pdp since 1999 have practically sold everything nigeria has to themselves and pals. nigeria is finished.
power dropped and some ppl are waiting for steady power supply when the ppl promising u steady power supply are busy adding their generators and diesel in every budget.
we must be ready to dethrone this govt or accept this backwardness.

I am not surprised....especially as we may have to rebuild our transmission infrastructure....and we may have to somehow improve generation(You can't get 24 hours power supply on just 5000MW for 170million people).

thank God pdp decides to blame vandals on this one otherwise they would have told us what we want to hear always by telling us how Buhari and Tinubu are stopping them from turning nigeria to heaven.
one of the greatest characteristics of a failure is: blame. every failure must have someone to blame at all times.
i remember when chelsea lost a game and Mourinho was asked what happened, he accepted the blames and said, he made 11 mistakes by the 11 players he selected. if it were to be here, wow, it was tinubu, buhari and the apc that made to select the 11 players so nigerians must blame them not me because i have done my best. and been the gullible ppl that we are, we will start insulting innocent ppl.
assuming we had 5,000MW before and now it has dropped to 4,000mw as a result of vandalism, my question is, where were those vandals when it got to 5,000MW? were they on break or strike? these criminals keep stealing our money and they keep coming back to tell us the same stories on daily basis.
their sole interest as we speak now is 2015. whether boko haram kill every nigeria or light no dey, they must win.
why did vandals and saboteurs not stop the fight against Ebola? simply because their own lives are not safe hence they fought it out rightly. for these light and security issues, they are not involved and nobody will solve the problems. we cannot protest because their soldiers are always available to shot at sight. but God will show them very soon.

I weep for my country.
what disheartens me most is that of all the presidential aspirants, I honestly don't see anyone who will be able to turn the tides of affairs in dis country.
who will raise a messiah for us?
who will rescue us from our self-inflicted maladies?
oluwa dey shaa

The question is, if you see one will you vote for him?

If Chief Awolowo could not win when The Great Britain PM said ' if Awolowo had come to England, he would have been the best PM' ,

Let us assume Fashola decides to contest now when all of us already know he will perform better than Jonathan, will you vote for him?

Wont you start religion and tribal sentiments again?

Buhari is the answer my brother. You already (in your inner mind) that he will not be as corrupt as Jonathan (at least you cannot compare Yar' adua with Jonathan on corruption).

Thank you bro.

They cannot blame APC and Buhari for Boko Haram insurgency again, so they have to look for something else as if they have any thing good to offer.

Abba Moro killed hundreds of our youths and got many injured yet he blamed on the helpless, jobless youths.

The president also has no balls to penalize anybody in his cabinet.

We need Buhari.
