We have all seen what a disaster Geoduck Johnathan (the first president from the SS/SE) was. And most of the governors and politicians from the region are hardly better. While the North is a big problem, we must also admit that the SS/SE is not producing politicians qualified to rule the country.

Am I wrong or right? Discuss.

How many marks is assigned to this question?

Hmm

Yoruba,why do you hate SE/SS this much?
something is amiss here

Jonathan is a million times better than this current disaster of a president.
And when compared to other SE/SS candidates, many are much better than Jonathan.

I don't understand you. Who is qualified in this country? Atiku? Tinubu?

Okay they're not qualified them let them have their own country and rule themselves.

I blame Niger delta for all this

Wike is intellectual enough to be president


Udom isn't bad as well

I consider Atiku somewhat qualified compared to someone like Goodluck Jonathan. Atiku is corrupt, but at least he can communicate and has a clear economic strategy to float the Naira, land reform, reducing recurrent expenditure, etc.

When the enemy wants to destroy you, they first ensure your isolation so that no one comes to your aid in times of trouble. Keep on making enemies.

Name the candidates. And to be honest, Jonathan was worse than Buhari. Remember, Jonathan was enjoying oil prices of $80-100 per barrel and still accomplished nothing. $10 billion was missing from the treasury, etc. Another administration like that and Nigeria will collapse.

You must be a very Bad economist. The kind of corrupt people that could be considered are those who will cheat oyinbo to favor nigerian not the ones who stole from poor people.
What economic reform can someone who import generator do to this country ?

Any Idiot that cannot FIX electricity is Bastard and eternal failure!

But Johnathan is the one who created the electricity problem by giving DISCOS to political cronies. That may go down as the worse political mistake in Nigerian history... we would be better off with NEPA.

Smh. When do we stop this political statements


KPMG performed an audit and declared to Nigeria that it would cost atleast trillions in to fix the entire value chain in electricity if the country were to have round the clock power supply relying on gas and hydro. Hence, the country is considering Nuclear power as am economically cheaper alternative

Electricity doesn't get fixed in a day whether Jonathan, Atiku, NK or FFK.

Na, FAT LIE. Post the link where they say it would cost $ 1 trillion?

The whole of Nigeria generates less power than my small town of 200,000 people in America.

How come has this 10 billion dollars not been probed and proven till now, five six years after leaving power


When would educated people start to speak much more intellectually.?


What sectors and under what projects was 10 billion stolen from? ***
**

I'll play the spoiler character by acting PDP for a second


Buhari's first projects when he arrived office includes 1 billion dollars for weapons to fight Boko Haram. How far has that solved the nations security challenges?


Buhari spent 100 billion+ in first, second and third stages of oil exploration from Lake Chad basin stretching towards other similar geographic structures. How far has that helped the nation move forward economically?


Let's maintain the Jonathan being a criminal. How come have you Buhari praise singers not been able to put out the so called billions in dollars GEJ and his so-called cronies stole?



The whole politics of electricity is Dangote crying foul for selfish motives

Nigeria needs about 25,000 Megawatts to deliver 24/7 electricity. We currently produce around 5,000 Megawatts and need 20,000 more. The three Gorges Dam in China cost around $40 billion and generates over 20,000 MW.

Are you aware that at operational capacity when Jonathan left office it was at 5000MW. Go do your research. And despite the whole braggadocio of these your APC party that power improved under them that where it remained at Jonathan's exit is where it remains.?


Do your research. Power peaked at 5500 MW


I spoke with a few persons in the country who were connected and the internal systems was manipulated so the country plunged in darkness for a year and a half. However Tribune and several newspaper asked Nigerians to take stock of where power production capacity we when APC TOOK OVER



It's easier said than done. 20000 MW won't be produced in a single day. A lot of things goes into power production irrespective of political party in power. But APC Hasn't improved power atall. I dare to declare the facts objectively.

Jonathan was a failure. Did the past and present government tell you they're bothered about electricity?

I saw the whole jargons from the link you shared. No part talked about electricity. Who needs federal government job in 2021?

What we need is enabling environment for our business thats all. And electricity is number one thing not security.

Yes! Not security! Despite money invested in the police force, we still have two olode we securing my street. Haven't you seen cases where local security get criminals and police release them?

People will organized security in their own way.what we need is light!
And both past and present government WILL NEVER GIVE US LIGHT

No

Lagos APC claimed Jonathan refuse fashola to provide electricity for Lagos only. I wonder what is their new excuse now.

Despite political grandthiefs stealing from Lagos tax.

Electricity isn't cheap and will need precious resources other than money like time.



I stumbled on a Chinese Contractors website on power production components suppliers. And they were expressing gratitude for orders they got for example. I picked few things when I checked the site


1. Nigerian orders were publicised in the glare view if the site and I saw orders some made 3 4 5 years back.


2. I saw large volume of money for parts and orders


3. I noticed large customer serving



Electricity generation would need time. Time for contractors to produce. We import. We fix the gas liquefaction and distribution system down to power producing stations. Many people don't know ow that for example many gas supply routes were not inexistence and this is the back bone of our electricity worries. We don't have a national gas supply line channel. The layout and execution of all these and the gas liquefaction processes and enable me to of independent companies working I the various sectors is why Power needs more than money, but time and strong will

PDP should better generate a humongous lie and heap on APC head.
Like that world bank gave buhari 1000 trillion for COVID relief, but Aisha took the money and ran to Dubai.

Niger Delta s are hated by Yorubas and will continue to be their excuse for non performance. Last time I checked. There's a law in Nigeria that doesn't permit any individual organization or state to generate power beyond a capacity. Very low capacity for that matter. And I'm more than sure Jonathan didn't enact the law. If Jonathan was their problem with thier claim to this administration why haven't they fixed power?

Funny enough the macro economic indicators are there that Nigeria grew in leaps and bounds in all ramifications economically under GEJ. Financial times is there for people who forgot that Nigeria was top. Economic destination in Africa during this time.


But the deep hatred I've noticed from SW towards SS/SE will always be the willing tool to denigrate SS/SE people



I can't wait for the referendum. It's the SW I want to first detach from

when have we hated Niger deltans? If it were igbos I know its common for them to say this right from after effect of civil war but Niger delta!

Biko stop telling lies. Yorubas don't have any issues with Niger deltans.
