Buhari failing Nigeria from time immemorial.

dunkem21:
Simply put, Fashola and Buhari has failed woefully ..

It is not "has" but "have". You use has when you talk about one person or item. Eg. He has done it again. Also, you use have when two or more items or persons are involved. Eg. 1.They have what it takes to foot the bills 2.Emeka and Kunle have paid their dues.

Note: This only applies for pronoun and noun. Out of this context, you have to consider whether it is first person singular, second person plural, etc. before knowing which to use.

In summary, your sentence should read: "Simply put, Fashola and Buhari have failed woefully ..
"

Thank me later

You are the one making comedy out of it because your reading capability is clearly diminished.
My post clearly stated moving away from GAS POWERED PLANTS to those powered using coal or by turbines powered by flow of water(dams).
You seem like an illiterate that has a very low grasp of knowledge.

You re still funny

Do you think your gesture is a way forward or backward?

Coal and water dam You cracking me up

We re trying to grow past your mentions. There re other better and eco friendly alternatives.

Sai buhari u too much! Wen e reach 1k apc ppl eye go clear CHAINS!

I'm amazed how we are all blaming Buhari, Fashola, Jonathan even Lord Lugard. While I do not deny that a percentage of blame rests upon them and the structureless institutions, have we even thought to blame OURSELVES?

We elected them to power, they live amongst us (from the disco managers to the elected officials) ,we are related to them, they are protected by armed men who are related to us and who suffer the same pain. They still drive on our streets (whether in a convoy or not) yet, what do we do. We never ask them questions, accosst them to know where the sudden source of wealth came from, we never demand wat we voted thhem in power for. Instead, we are blinded by religious and ethnic and tribal divisions.
Will your boss remember you're a Muslim or Christian or Ibo or yoruba or Hausa if you repeatedly fail to do your work and are unproductive ? Yet, we push these old excuses forward to defend looters and sappers of the destiny of our nation and the inheritance of our children.

No one tribe has suffered the brunt of corruption. We have ALL suffered it.
Still we do not learn. We only become gladiators in social media spaces, fighting each other, wasting away energy on the wrong opponents.
Once again I'm surprised we haven't looked inwards, the so called leaders are a little percentage of the followers. Surely, THEY cannot be the problem. WE ARE. The docile, long suffering, priority misplaced, easily swayed, painlessly influenced, tribally separated and cowardice followers.
YOU AND ME are to blame. Cos we do not think and know that the people in places of authority (note, not just power) are OBLIGATED to account to us.

Thank you.

At this point in time, eco friendly options are not yet viable and very expensive to say the least, USA and bulk of Europe still generate 40% of their power from coal.
In order to improve the power situation in Nigeria, we have to look into sources that will readily improve our power capacity regardless of their impact on the environment because unlike the Europeans who are moving away from it, we lack the basic infrastructure and knowledge to make it a success and also we can't afford it at this time because eco friendly options are very expensive and yet produce little when compared to their carbon alternatives.
FYI, gas isn't exactly environmental friendly and does the same damage as coal.

when are we going to move to harness all available energy souces for power generation..is it that this country is daft or what...why cant private investors who view the power market as an emerging one be welcomed to explore the opportunities the market presents..since our government wont invest...we have gas wasting in the niger delta,coal laying waste in enugu, solar being taken for granted...cursed nation...

Nigerians don't like Nigeria we keep messing up the country our forefathers fought for, so many people died in the hand of our colonial masters may years after independence it still feels as if we are still not gotten our independence but these time we are not colonised by the white but we are colonised by the elite of our society. We need independence

You make little progress and vandals sabotage your efforts in ALL sectors.


At the rate we are going, the centre will no longer hold.

@post: What caused the system collapse?? Was it avoidable?? Whatever it is, resolving it asap is all Nigerians need.

I can see those very useless iPod Tadpoles getting all giddy over this as though they were just handed a few cents like beggars in Manhattan tube.

Smh.

Excuse me sir. How wan take steal gas from pipeline Are things in gaseous form not hard to contain? by blowing a pipeline would make it almost impossible sef.. Don't you think think these guys are just using petroleum vandalism as an excuse for their woes?

Unfortunately I'm neither an engineer nor an oil worker but I believe a bridge in pipeline means you can't supply to the various places you need to supply to as the means of moving the product is damaged.
Let's use this example, you have a storage tank of water with various pipes connected to the tank that takes water to your kitchen, bathroom etc. Now if the pipe that takes water to the kitchen has a big enough hole, I believe that means you won't be able to get water in the kitchen until u fix the hole in the said pipe?

The Ineffectual Buffoon handed over an electricity capacity of about 900MW with the entire nation in darkness while fuel was selling for over 250 naira a litre and 400 in some cases, these useless iPork shrimps didn't as much as sneeze a disapproval. Today, they crawl out of their dens like Tasmanian devils in hibernation to waank all over the place at the sound of a bad news.

The thunder you say should strike Baba and Tinubu would first strike the Ogogoro Buffoon, that Albino Faagoot in Kuje and then locate their middle of your useless brains and fry whatever maggots that lie in there.

Sick bastards.

The only being I can defend in my time of suffering is the Almighty God.. Not a damn clueless administration ... At least at d admin. of d Ogogoro buffon I could boast of 20hrs of light per day nd d remainin 4hrs I had fuel at 87naira anywhere anytime.. I just wished you guys would say sometin dh wud really defend this admin. Not sayin Ipod $ Ipork if na wetn dey hungry u I for help oo just say dz present economy.. #Retards

Haha. Even the greatest Buhari hater here won't believe you. And you know you are lying.

This is is what I loaded some days ago...if u look at carefully u will see its just 340 kw units , it was previously 592 before the increment ..341 can't take me more than half the month ..I will get a consumption print out today and show u ..

The highly pronounced power failures across the country in the past few days may worsen following a partial system collapse that occurred on Tuesday, and the continuous drop in electricity generation due to what the government says is the vandalism of pipelines that supply gas to the power plants.

As a result, power generation dropped to 1,580.6 megawatts on Wednesday.

Data from the Nigeria Electricity System Operator as well as information from senior officials of the different electricity distribution companies confirmed that power generation plummeted massively on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The officials noted that this resulted in the reduction of the electricity load allocated to the Discos, stressing that this was why many parts of the country had been recording blackouts in the past few days.

It was learnt that the partial system collapse that occurred on Tuesday happened at the Shiroro Power Plant and dragged down electricity generation to as low as 1,233.4MW from a peak of 3,207.7MW recorded on the same day.

Data from NESO showed that by 9.48am on Wednesday, power generation was 1,580.6MW, with the Ikeja Electric getting 237.09MW; Abuja, 181.77MW; Eko, 173.87MW; Benin, 142.25MW; and Enugu, 142.25MW.

Others are Ibadan, 205.48MW; Jos, 86.93MW; Kano, 126.45MW; Kaduna, 126.45MW; Port Harcourt, 102.74MW; and Yola, 55.32MW.

One of our correspondents gathered that prior to the partial collapse of the system, the Abuja, Ikeja and Eko distribution firms were getting over 350MW each to meet the power needs of a considerable number of their customers.

In fact, it was learnt that the normal baseline allocation for the Abuja Disco was 450MW, but on Wednesday, the firm got 181.77MW around 9.48am, according to data from NESO, and this further dropped to 131.77MW by 1.25pm.

On reason for the slump in electricity generation, officials at the power arm of the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing told one of our correspondents that the same old issue of gas pipeline vandalism had continued to pose challenge to adequate electricity generation and distribution.

An official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “Gas is vital for power generation and most of the electricity being generated in Nigeria is produced by gas-fired power plants. Both the ministers of power and petroleum have often called on Nigerians to help safeguard these infrastructure, but we keep recording explosions of gas pipelines.

“Currently, repairs are ongoing on some of the ruptured pipelines and once they are completed, we believe generation will pick up again.”

Last week, the acting Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, Dr. Anthony Akah, lamented the incidences of vandalism that led to the reduction in peak power generation and supply from the national grid.

Akah, who spoke in Abuja, solicited the support of members of the public and the Consumer Protection Council to collaborate with electricity service providers and security agencies in ensuring adequate protection of power installations across the country.

Similarly, the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, told journalists in Abuja on Tuesday that vandalism had been a serious challenge to not just the oil and gas sector, but also the power sector.

Meanwhile, the management of Ikeja Electric has apologised to its customers for the epileptic power supply across its network in the past three days.

The Head of Corporate Communications, Ikeja Electric, Mr. Felix Ofulue, made the apology through a statement on Wednesday.

Ofulue attributed the poor service to the ongoing activities by labour unions picketing the facilities of the company over the purported sacking of 400 workers.

He said the company’s employees were not on strike, but that they had been prevented by the protesting labour unions from gaining access to its facilities and “are, therefore, not in a position to provide any consistent service to our valued customers.”

Ofulue noted that the situation had impacted negatively on power supply as well as the purchase of recharge units because all the substations, business units and undertakings had been taken over by members of the protesting unions.

He said, “Ikeja Electric regrets all inconveniences this action may have caused its customers and appeals to all its customers to please bear with us.

“We assure our customers that the company is doing its best to normalise the situation within the shortest possible time. We thank all our customers for their patience and understanding.”

Power sector workers under the aegis of National Union of Electricity Employees and Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies had on Monday picketed the head office of the Ikeja Electric over the sacking of 400 workers of the company.

The union had issued a seven-day ultimatum to the management of the company last week Tuesday to recall the disengaged workers or face industrial action.

Abeg why the power dey go down small small, who dey thief am small small, make the person kukuma thief am finish make we know say na zero megawatts we get for National Grid. At least we don dey use our Generators, inverters, Solar panel, Lanterns, Candle, Atupa and pali isana since tey tey! Abeg if dem wan work make dem work but we will NEVER SUCCUMB to that Tariff hike without first getting what a taste of the goodness we are going to be paying for.
In fact I don provoke sef, make una come pack una wire for my house ooooo or come drop am comot for transformer because i wan use the wire spread cloth oooooooooo.
#mtcheeew
They claim the Distribution companies are now private yet they dont have the money to finance their business or what? Why caant they pump their money and let market pricing dictate the tariff like the Telecommunication saga. Thieves approved only one DIS-COY per place or to several states or region, why wont those DIS-COYS turn themselves to gods and lords over us and hold us hostage. flood the market with more distribution company per state and force competition into the sector, then watch the growth and productivity skyrocket exponentially.

shamecurls:


Did u read the article to ascertain the cause before concluding?

U definitely did not?

I read it, it's all excuses, if all govt come into power giving this same excuse we would never have electricity.

agrovick:

Some of you really need to go out and experience the nation, the excuse about gas shortage is genuine. I currently reside in one of these riverine communities in the south south and the damage done to the pipeline by militants has even forced shell to stop their operations here, we are currently experiencing a black out here when normally light is always available 24/7 and the reason is because some idiots decided to go blow up the pipeline.
Now if buhari sends military personnel to go and blow them up to smithereens, it's you guys that will shout genocide. What exactly do you people want?

. this was the same excuse the previous govt gave but APC were lambasting and lamenting, now they are in power giving the same excuse, if every govt gives this same excuse we would never have light.

Hardly will i believe anything i read online again. Lies everywhere. Why is this so called drop affect me? we have light almost 24 hours here. If you dont believe me because you have been blinded by lies and propaganda that is your malaria fever so deal with it. I stay in ikorodu and we have light always.

mrvitalis:
Fortunately for Nigeria I have an idea to solve this problem

lay the pipe line on the road path so that it can easily be watched or subsea pipeline systems
before u shout I have done a project on this and will forward if need be

With those pipe lines passing the bushes there is no way we can save guard them completely
It's an expensive project but desperate times calls for desperate measures

subsea, very good idea along the coast line states. Although not feasible in landlocked regions like northern states.
Along the road is a very bad idea, considering safety. What if a drunk driver or any vehicle loss control and hits it? Nice thoughts though

[quote author=chinuz postplease oo don't pray for dh one oo...this light is more important than how we see dier broom carrying president...[/quote]
last month i pay #1800 for my small bedsitter and i nor use light for 6straight hours within 1month.
I don already tell my landlord say if d bill wen dem go share reach me pass d 1 of last month say make e cut my light.

I concur, a working government should take responsibility and proffer a solution

AnodaIT:

Why lay pipes in the first place, why not concentrate power plant near the source of the gas and transmit to anywhere.
A man was asked that recently on channels and he responded with blahs about establishing plant near the consumers.

A transmission tower visible above ground with the danger sign is more economical that a gas pipeline underground through bushes.

I don't just understand this country

God bless you. This is why i think those who claims to love Nigeria and want the best for her,are not being sincere to themselves on the best workable ways to lift Nigeria to where it ought to be. They are all useless hypocrites.
Can you imagine what the person answered(establishing plants near consumers). Is it not madness?. Do consumers need plants or electricity(light)?.why not concentrate plants near sources of fuel,and evacuate power to end users via electric poles/cables,which will minimixe gas sabortage?. Why not solve these power wahala usimg situations peculiar to each region.say gas&coal for SE/SS,solar&wind foq North?.But hell NO,our usual "Oyel" brothers from the Waste and North will rather die than agree to that.More reason why true federalism or outright dissolution is the answer.we can't continue to allow mad people drag us backward. I got stumble a news on facebook that says Navy is planning to build Maritime University in Lake Chad.But they cancelled Maritime university in Delta.

SycophanticGoat:


Was it the same 900MW that Buhari's body odour took the credit for back then or another one? Passingshot, are you seeing this? Fuel was scarce only once during GEJ's 5years rule but within 8months of mumuhammado mumuhary's directionless govt, we've experienced it 3 freaking times. Who's the ipork now? The joke is hugely on you.

The other time there was a complete blackout, Obiagelli just went to one website and dug out a useless news for the purpose of covering up incompetence, cluelessness and directionlessness of this administration. I watched as she was arguing with people on her thread and she was so sure of herself and that fake boju boju news. It was so disheartening seeing a supposed educated person peddling such nonsense that even artisans can't believe. A news that claimed protesting workers threw an "object" (maybe juju) into the plant that eventually shut down all the stations across the country and made power drop drastically nationwide.



So I ask again, has someone thrown another juju inside the power plant?

You have just lied or confused by saying that fuel was scarce only once during GEJ's 5 years reign. I remember clearly that there were more than one fuel scarcity. Lets not be politicizing everything.[color=#006600][/color]

We should prepare for 900 or still 600mw. Only aso rock wil hv lyt while we go bck 2 lamp and candles. Its lyk d govt. Is telln us "una neva see anytin yet". God help us,we r heading to 1914

Hmmm, very funny to see different diminished perspective of many youths. It is well; and you guys think your ranting here will solve the problem? How many of you can be committed to you duties at work without opening social site during active periods? How many so called engineering students can operate efficiently in their fields? Impatience is the sickness many suffer from; you think dere is a saint with Midas touch, who will take over leadership & change everything smoothly.
Destruction needed to be made for a good foundation to build. So stop your negative shout cos non of you is better of. Criticise well & not personality or party; don't be like a fool who lives in glass house but decides to throw stones.
Many can't handle a small group of people, not to talk of a shattered economy.
Many will love to get jobs in ministry' just to sign in the morning & get out to doing something else, or never show up for weeks, but still receive salary; so the President is to be blamed for that. We are the ones killing ourselves, cos we re damn lazy, greedy & thieves...
Go out there to see how people work hard daily, including the so called bloody Nigerians, but fail to do so in there country. Hypocrites.
