*Sips Lipton*

I wonder how the rating that 70% of the people are please will insult your sensibilities when the survey was done by NOI (Ngozi Okonjo Iweala who is in the opposition) polls....

Well I don't trust NOI polls either since they got the elections wrong but that's by the way.

If you say the sudden increase in power is not an effect of the present administration, you need to look at things from the angle of it is a combination of both administrations but now we have discipline involved.

The Buhari government rode to government on the premise of zero tolerance on corruption. You see a situation where vandalisms has greatly reduced so the plants have no excuse to not to operate at maximum capacity. You have a situation where even the vandals know it is not business as usual and they are keeping away. This has led to Egbin producing 1GW which it has never done before
I also laugh when people mention Kanji and water lever. If only they know how much power Kanji supplies.

This quote is kind of funny

You claim that the present government does not have a blueprint but you have failed to see the current move by the government to cut its own expenditure and throw such back into projects.

Just last week, the VP(he is the coordinating minister for the economy too) started reviewing the agricultural policy of the nation to implement the campaign promise of the government maintaining price stability by buying the products from the farmers and then storing these products and releasing it to the markets. This on its own is going to create a high number of jobs because we are looking at the government ( investors) having to build storage and processing facilities. Since more than 50% of Nigeria's agricultural produce is lost due to storage, we are looking at a possible drop in price in produce and also guarantee income for the farmers.

Balanced and open minded assessment of Dele's narrative of his encounter with Mr President, wish I could share in your magnanimous optimism, but knowing the major players in APC, their combative approach to national discourse, penchant for propaganda, I will urge a large dose of caution before giving this govt the benefit of doubt. Never in our checkered history have we had a govt so tardy in its approach to governance, directionless and purposeless with every steps so far taken. From the inaugural day pronouncement of relocation of command centre to Borno state, even before adequate consultation with security personnel, the flip flop on the removal of rd blocks, the acrimonious election of NASS principal officers and the recent directive that pegged dollar at N160 for religious excursion, it's been one gaffe after the other. They came in with no clear cut blueprint save some potpourri of unattainable objectives. Since taking over, all the narrative has been all about lowering our expectation rather than inspiring hope about what's achievable.

Dele momodu is a well known "alright sir" journalist so his invitation by the president and his account of what transpired should be construed from the perspective of his antecedent. He is not only a Card carrying APC member , but one of the loudest vuvuzelas in the well orchestrated campaign of calumny against the last administration. There are many objective, serious minded journalist out there if Buhari is willing to showcase his new found tolerance and reception for dissenting views. Dele has been an unapologetic "Famzer" to the likes Amaechi, Saraki and any politician willing and able to butter his bread

The alleged ultimatum to the electricity companies is also a stupid propaganda by a directionless govt. You can give what does not exist, if the capacity to generate was not there, the ultimatum is futile. It's a known fact that generation improves during raining season when the tide at the hydro dams are usually high, if nothing is done to complement the existing capacity btw now and the dry season we would surely be back to where we were

Jesusloveyou:
u are just useless and clueless like ur hero, have u not read that is because of no vandalism that make -up for d increment of power supply, or have u see too much rainfall this year, that make-up for overflow of riverbank? Try to be sensible

barcanista:
And Which threat did he issue? Please that is pure PROPAGANDA. When did Buhari issue the threat?

MizMyColi:
Please look at the reddened above...
That's what I call a superior argument.
With that, I guess it's okay to conclude we're still at point zero.

Mynd44:
Lets go into social welfare (This is a place I am very aware if). The present administration has Brough succor to the internally displaced people IDP not just by dedicating more funds towards their welfare but by also raising awareness so other people can visit and help. For the first time we are seeing what is happening in these camps and people are waking up to try to help them and do their best to give something. These things raise hope in government and makes people aware that they still matter and not neglected.
You said here
I doubt you realize the role of the media in governance. People sometimes don't always need to see the government work but they need to see the government speak on media and they know they have leaders.
The VP visited the troops in the NE and it was on TV good
The President met the leaders of BBOGs and people saw it. These little things increase confidence in your government and tells then that the government is aware of your problems and agitations. You don't claim to work and sit down as some times, people just need you to talk to then.I doubt you even need to be told of the anti-corruption bodies allowed to do their work without interference. That is all too evident.

baralatie:
Not exactly!the installed capacity is between 12000 to 18000MW.
The distribution is seriously needed in some parts of the country as the design is "sort of not economical".
But it can be salvaged.

Whynotthetruth:
I am happy that you suddenly regained your sight after being blind under Jonathan...I have questions here too;

1)What was the brain behind Victim Support Fund, Safe School Initiative etc?...with billions of naira and dollars generated...

2)IDP camps existed before now...who fed them?...At whose expense was NEMA functioning?...Rehabilitation of Chibok and co were to what end?...Was any group at any point banned from extending favours to these people before now?...Did such generous gesture start post inauguration of buhari?...

3)To which extent does information dissemination become propaganda and hoodwinking people to the more you look the less you see?...

4)Outside Ohakim all EFCC cases are ongoing cases. Pre-May 29th lamido had immunity... Nyako ran away...these cases were inherited by buhari...And all I see is EFCC boss playing politics to keep his job with much hullabaloo and media noise and conviction... Which forces made Lamido to be retried in abuja and granted bail...while another court in kano had before now remanded him in prison till September...Since when did court of equal competence start upturning each others judgement ...smh...; D

Rose2014:
Who wants to tag people that are being paid to be silly. People you know too well are now justifying same thing they criticized under Jonathan, even if their loved ones are killed by insurgents, they'll still come here


Back to topic, [s] Buhari n co didn't know they were going to win the election hence all the unrealistic promises. [/s] Now that the suddenly won, [s] they're confused as to where n how to start [/s]

arrrgh,apc knew they would win bcus gej had failed long ago even b4 the election,buhari never thought he wuld win ? joke of the year, so how did he ganer 15 million votes if he was'nt sure, even if GEJ sees this he will lmao,also you cannot call a fmr president visionless simply bcus he knows what he is doing,he has just spent 2 months for God sake,or do you think we are talking abt a secondary sch principal you know,give him tym and don't jump into conclusion okay ?

MizMyColi:
I'm with you on this, however, I commended him for the threat he issued, which obviously has seen them fall into line.
It is one thing to have all the equipment and capital going for you as an employer of labour, and another thing to have a willing and motivated staff who will combine the resources at their disposal to produce efficient and effective output.
You catch my drift?

francizy:
So MizMyColi can no longer choose to have a convo with reasonable people? Must she turn her wonderful thread to a WWE just to please you?

Upnepaa:
And who are the reasonable people pls

IdisuleOurOwn:
I didn't border to read what the Miss wrote. All I know is that she is a PDP apologist who trends only in Mudd sliding and [b]character assassination[/b]on this present administration.
My advice to her is to go and take a seat to enjoy the constant power supply of which she confess to have increase.

Rose2014:
He got the votes from people like you that thought Buhari winning means food on their individual tables . As u can see it's business as usual. As a matter of fact things have become worse (for example BH) under Buhari even though that was his main point again GEJ

When last did u hear 'sai baba' again on nl

Why? Cos those high hopes have bn dashed. He had even denied lots of the promises cos he made them out of desperation

Upnepaa:
And who are the reasonable people pls

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Did you say he threatened the distribution companies? Actually, if he did that then he is clueless in the operations of Power sector.

Distribution companies pay for power supplied to them by the Generation companies via Transmission Company which is under the Federal Government.

The Generation Companies cannot reach their optimum capacity of 7,800Mw out of 12,000 Mw installed capacity presently due to non-availability of gas and vandalisms.

Buhari need to invest in transmission to enable the system evacuate generated power, rein on vandals and put pressure on Gas suppliers who prefer selling gas to international communities than Nigeria.

Distribution companies have improved with time and are now crying over inadequate supply of rationed power from Generation and Transmission companies.

MizMyColi:
Thanks for doing the honours, you echoed my thoughts, I was even prepared to provide pictures...I was typing quite the robust reply when my PC went off just like that.

I gave up.

Nigerians votes in GMB/PYO to do more.
Not the same things GEJ did.

modath:
There are two sets of people in this world;

1.Those who will never stand &watch irrespective of perpetrator evil being done ..

2.& Those who believe evil is okay & cool as long as it is being perpetrated by our bloda..

You know where they belong to.

The our bloda people are going to be wailing real soon when the entire findings of the ECA corrupt spending is made public....

The present administration has Brought succor to the internally displaced people IDP not just by dedicating more funds towards their welfare but by also raising awareness so other people can visit and help. For the first time we are seeing what is happening in these camps and people are waking up to try to help them and do their best to give something. These things raise hope in government and makes people aware that they still matter and not neglected.

Epic sarcasm this is ,i decode the msg even without you mentioning names,Thank God we are no more in the era of "stealing is nt corruption"

You said and I quote


This is not to take a hit at your person, but I'm sorry, you just told a lie!
See pictures after cut.

As of today, there is nothing this government is doing differently.
There is nothing like a "FIRST"
Nigerians voted for "Change" The Voted For "More"
They were tired of Jona and voted him out, they wanted to see things happen differently, the current administration rose to power on the high hopes of Nigerians....
Why back-pedalling?
I would understand if Buhari decides to go-slow, but at least, he should provide a blueprint....we want to see things as really NOT "Business As Usual"

For the first time we are seeing what is happening in these camps and people are waking up to try to help them and do their best to give something

MizMyColi:
This is expository.
Thank you..

Mynd44, the emboldened above is FYA.

Mogidi:
If vandals are no longer vandalising pipes, GEJ who contracted the surveilance to militants should take the credit. If the surveilance was not working you'd blame GEJ right?

Mynd44:
Lmaooooo

While I have learnt to make whatever comment I want to make, unfollow threads and ignore mentions(seriously going back and forth on NL is not just unprofitable, it is boring and wastes time I should be using to setting P)

So you say I lied right?

Now quick question, has there being this much media coverage of the IDPs? Now, I saw a mention earlier where someone was trying to show that the past administration set the camps up. I don't deny this but you have to understand that it is not enough to set things up and feed people, it is also very important that you show to others that you are doing this. That is the politics involved.

The populace need to know beyond just little media coverage that help is getting to people hence they get more confident in the government.

This is my quote
Now before now how many IDP camp can you name? How many times have you even seen these camps take front page news? Hell it made so much news, the Muslims here in NL made a donation. That is how to make the people involved.

Except of course you are a private individual funding and feeding folks for free like Akitu is doing and so he does not need the hype.

barcanista:
And Which threat did he issue? Please that is pure PROPAGANDA. When did Buhari issue the threat?

IbnSultaan:
MizMyColi
I disagree with you
They new government is on track with the rebuilding efforts, in a systematic matter it is cleaning the house of years of impunity n institutionalized illegality, so as to attract investors n boast confidence of investors to invest

The govt is working had to address the insecurity in the north , Efforts are on to build our human and technological intelligence capabilities to give security forces ability to foil terrorist attack as well as hunting down finances, weapon provides using both COVERT n Overt ops to degrade the enemy.

asymmetric welfare is not like conventional war. the new govt is to building the Military capacity to response in time to enemy movement with the use of air capabilities

so u will be there when issuing d threat, or what make them to be working now, okaaay na ur hero tell dem to give us darkness for his govt, and to give us light for buhari govt, clap for urself, good analysist
