There is this trite saying among the yorubas, "if the gods cannot improve your conditions, instead of making it worse they should at least allow you maintain the status quo". Fashola pls bring the power back to 5,000 megawatts then resign honourably as you've made it obvious you have no idea on how to improve on what you met. You guys implored us not to accept excuses from the last administration so why do you think we should treat u differently. If u considered vandalism a lame excuse when u were an opposition we also consider it lame now that u in power.

Bro be reasonably enough before commenting, when a sinner is suffering from his/her sin even the saint do suffer from it. in your house if one among you spoilt the TV set wouldn't it deprive others too from watching dis same TV?? most of the problem we faced in this country ain't all caused by govt but from us ordinary citizen. our sense of reasoning is very poor and demonic. when we reached 5k mw, we were all happy, still its a sad news to some... they started attacking oil n gas installations knowing to them that 80% of what generate light for us is gas. claiming they are avenging for their regions. many of us condemn their act while some were happy. now this same ppl that r happy will still come here to complain about poor electricity. if govt fight decided to fight them many innocent soul will be lost, if they traced and arrest we'll shout witch hunting, govt call for dialogue several times they said they ain't dialogue. instead they continue destroying their lands pursuing investors in their land, making masses to suffer poor electricity....those who are doing all this is for their own selfish reasons. they've once done it b4 how does their ppl benefit from it then??

charix:
Excuses heaped upon excuses as usual. I hope very soon they start retiring when they run out of excuses. This country don tire me, I pay for electricity but see it only few times a month.

Good morning my fellow Nigerians, after reading most of your comments , I agree with some of the vital points made but my problem are : people are always fast to blame the government for everything , and also forget we all have roles to play as citizens ,we shy away from our responsible in contributing to the development of the country, the government can't do it alone , they need us and we need them for things to work. Look at developed countries they are the pace setter.
1. The people are the government
2. All we do is come on social media to bad mouth the government and forget to do our part as citizens.(social responsibility)
3.i plead do not use abusive words on my comment regardless of your opinion, thank you.

The Minister of Power, Work and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, on Tuesday, expressed shock at the destruction of public properties by Nigerians who also yearn for better service from government.

Fashola expressed his frustration while speaking on Thursday at the Buharimeter town hall meter in Abuja.

The Minister also said the Ajaokuta steel plant is embroiled in legal suits hence government can do little at the moment.



“Yes, there is no power. But it does not mean there is no capacity to produce power. In February, we were able to meet 5,000 megawatts.”

“When you have an idea how extensive the pipeline network is and how they must pass through land.”

“I don’t know any country that wants to have electricity that destroys its electricity infrastructure.”

“People have even begun to remove bolts and nuts from tracks that had been laid for rail.”

“There will be a time when we can not rely on gas solely. We think that methods, planning and coordination will take us to the society we want to live in.”

“As far as security is concerned, there is a new wave of global criminality going on. The existing security machinery put in place after the second world war takes care of conventional warfare. It’s a new global learning curve for everybody.”

Wrong thing to say... so u mean all Nigerians destroy power infrastructure? Look 4 d culprits nau. Why are u d govt den. So us that don't destroy those things should go and look 4 dem? All these excuses and trying to play d innocent(like we shouldn't blame you wen there is darkness) so that we will sympathize wiv u. Is no longer working, u r in govt to give us light we paying for. That's all. That's how Femi Adesina said we should go and fish out does bombing pipes.
That's how lai mohammed told graduates to dress masquerades and take it as a job.
That's how Buhari callled us Criminals and thieves.
This govt is really taking its citizens 4 a joke. They say anything they like and expect us to absorb it.

Wat a country.

Our govt and complain. They complain more the masses.

Who else have noticed that these days OBJ hardly comment on national issues as an elder statesmen. I guess he is grossly disappointed with the path he towed.

chidiandre:
100% correct....some Nigerians don't think before they act...they behave like children..... same goes with oil and Niger delta...
