Get a band and start a party... congrats....

Aso villa has 24hrs light, The Governors, ministers and Lawmakers would use government resources to get power...

I believe Almost all of SW and Most of the North apart from not experiencing degradation have more PMS available to power alternate sources of energy....

No, nothing meaningful was said by the saboteurs, foolish is what this is... cutting off the nose to spite the face...


Proudlyngwa ,

The more we look, the less we see!!

You and your hypocritical silly comments..

Stop trying to apply common sense now cos everything the opposition is doing now was what APC did last few years and rode to power..

Am still shaking my head at all the lack of strategic planning that goes on in that country.
Sometimes when the otherwise brilliant Fashola speaks, I wonder at times if we are looking at the same country. Where people like him get their optimism from? I will like to know.
Relying on the Ijaw areas of the Niger -delta for gas is like relying on Sambisa for tomatoes.
The whole Ijaw society is as dysfunctional as criminals masquerading as activist who are running amok in the creek .
Obasanjo did what you can refer to as strategic vandalism when he converted the coal fired egbirra thermal station to gas.
Why?
It is time for the government to stop looking for oil else where and start looking at the coal seams in Benue and kogi,and the untapped gases all over the country.
This is a very Visionary and laudable contribution

Nobody should beg them afterall na who go suffer am pass? Their communities before other Nigerians
I remembered when they issued their threat, some kids here were hailing and shouting upandan that the zoo will fall and now it has being carried out, they blame the president and not the miscreants who disrupted gas flow. Let them blow off everything and even all pipes carrying crude oil and pollute their already polluted land and water so that their hailers will find another reason to blame the president. A pathetic case of cutting one's nose to spite your face. Bunch of fools.

A group calling itself the Niger Delta Avengers said on its website that it was responsible for the attack. The authenticity of the claim could not be verified by Bloomberg News.

The Nigerian government is struggling to contain the economic damage of the slump in energy prices and separate attacks in the north of the country by the Boko Haram Islamist insurgency. The country’s foreign reserves have fallen to less than $27 billion, the lowest since 2005. The International Monetary Fund expects the economy to expand 2.3 percent this year, the weakest growth since 1999.

“Lower oil prices have meant that the poorer oil-producing countries don’t have enough money to pay for social services,” said Ehsan Ul-Haq, senior oil analyst at KBC Process Technology Ltd. “Protests are increasing as a result.”

Force Majeure

In February, Royal Dutch Shell Plc declared force majeure — a legal clause that allows it to stop shipments without breaching contracts — after an attack on a pipeline feeding the Forcados terminal, which typically exports about 200,000 barrels a day.

The International Energy Agency estimated last month that Nigeria could lose an estimated $1 billion in revenue by May, when it expects repairs on Forcados to be completed. The terminal may not restart until June, Nigerian Oil Minister Emmanuel Kachikwu said April 20.
Re: Nigerian Power Plants To Shut Down by citizenisb: 7:02pm On May 06, 2016
Nigeria is suffering a worsening bout of oil disruption that has pushed production to the lowest in 20 years, as attacks against facilities in the energy-rich but impoverished nation increase in number and audacity.

Chevron Corp. said on Friday it had shut down about 90,000 barrels a day of output following an attack on an offshore platform that serves as a gathering point for production from several fields. Even before that strike on Wednesday night, Nigerian oil production had fallen below 1.7 million barrels a day for the first time since 1994, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

“This is some very, very sophisticated brazen attack,” said Dolapo Oni, the Lagos-based head of energy research at Ecobank Transnational Inc. “It is a resurgence of militancy. These guys don’t seem to be after money. They just want to frustrate the government.”

The fresh round of attacks come after President Muhammadu Buhari vowed to stamp out corruption and oil theft. They echo a campaign waged by the self-proclaimed Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta between 2006 and 2009, which cost the Nigerian government billions of dollars of lost oil revenue.

That violence abated after thousands of fighters accepted an amnesty from late-President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and disarmed, in exchange for monthly payments from the government in some cases.

Re: Nigerian Power Plants To Shut Down by tinsel: 7:10pm On May 06, 2016
I don't know what they are waiting for. They should go ahead to blow also the Niger bridge, third mainland bridge and every thing at site. Let us do the suffering once. And maybe after that the igbos and the niger deltans will begin to have some sense.

Re: Nigerian Power Plants To Shut Down by Nobody: 7:25pm On May 06, 2016
I guess that if they keep blowing up the pipelines....soon the oil companies will pull out, the businesses will pull out...and soon, the whole Niger Delta would be poor....and broke.....and maybe they can go back to fishing.

And by the way it isn't the Niger Delta. Tribal warfare in the SW...means investors pull out, and pretty soon jobs are lost....investments go.

How about the North....Islamists go on rampage as someone ''insults the religion''....while farmers stealcows,and Fulanis retaliate with violence...which is meant with more violence.

Pretty soon.....all the investors will pull out of our country....and we would be left broke.....and back in the stone age.

At which point...we would blame the government (with some justification), the Hausas,the Yorubas,the Igbos,the Ijaws,the bird that built a nest in our mango tree.....everyone but ourselves.

Nigerians.....better start thinking. Stop using violence, it only makes things worse for you.

All I see are people who want to force the unity of Nigeria on themselves. Maybe because of the president they support.

This same people were against the last national conference. Simply because it was organized by GEJ. they even called it Jonathan 's conference.

Or maybe because they had perfected plans to take power.

Sorry. I'm not sympathizing with anyone.


After all most of those in government today never did anything when their country was being bombed by boko haram.

Re: Nigerian Power Plants To Shut Down by Krismart(m): 7:48pm On May 06, 2016
This govt believe that everything can be solved by force. Our president doesn't believe in dialogue. Any protest or agitation results in killing of the citizens without hearing them out. I wish him well. But "until a fly perches on your scrotum, then u will realize that not all problems are matched with force, that dialogue and carefulness are necessary"

It is our myopic past leaders that exposed us to this avoidable hardship we are experiencing today in the hands of these mindless Ijaw youth .

This will continued until our leaders shift concentration of power stations from gas to hydroelectric and coal thermal power stations.
The youth of today from Ijaw that are vandalising pipe lines today were still children when their seniors were being settled for amnesty .

The present youth are seeking attention from FG for amnesty.

Until then, no hope in sight.

Woe unto all our past leaders that bring us to this terrible situation. But it shall be well with the righteous.

If I am given one bullet to shoot Boko Haram or this Niger Delata Avengers, I will shoot the later. How can a group of miscreants throw a whole country in darkness, for the past three days no light, and I am oppurtuned to be linked to an industrial line, how will it fair for others. This is sad, Nigerians have suffered enough, what is this?!. What are they actually doing with their 13% derivation fund, is it they fault of Nigerians and the FG if their state Governors does not make judicious use of their allocation, Bayelsa state is amongst the highest revenue earners, yet it is broke and nothing on ground to justify huge allocation, what is really wrong with this country. My candid advice to the FG, DO NOT NEGOTIATE with anybody, let us sit it out, I mean i'm getting used to the no fuel and no light situation. The avengers should target their principal care takers, and leave thing that helps ordinary Nigerians alone!!! A$$ holes.
The problem continues, because people like you refuse to call the demi- god, Buhari to order, you rule a country with nepotism,tribalism and segregation and hatred for 5% and you want peace
