You remember Zainab Aliu? If Nigeria govt picks interest in this matter like they did for Zainab,most of them will re unite with their family members before the end of this years.

It is not current but old news

henryobinna:
there's so much hate against Igbos. The hate keeps piling up, it's similar to what happened before the war.

This will continue for a very long time unless something miraculous happens. For the same crime they commit once it's an Igbo that does it, boom! even the hopeless president would join the discussion.



Everyone should join hand to say no to crime, they won't. they want to protect their brothers and tarnish the image of others irrespective of whether they're guilty or not.

The hate is real you don't have to deny it

Shut up

Like you guys don't hate others and call others names

You are the founder of hate speeches

You are just reaping what you sow

Good

Two Nigerian Billionaire Kidnappers.
Chukwudi Dumeme Onwuamadike (Evans) vs Hamisu Bala (Wadume)

The arrest of Evans drew national attention and was highly celebrated and Igbos were insulted and called unprintable names but the arrest of Wadume was resisted by Nigerian Soldiers but non of his people was harassed or insulted. From Wadume confession, security forces even killed police officers and took Wadume to Army base, cut the handcuffs and free him but was later rearrested by police.
We are yet to see the police advertise Wadume the way Evans was handled.
This is Nigeria for you.

You are talking as if your people don't have the habit of Insulting and stereotyping others


Your people go around online calling other traitors, snakes and all kind of unprintable names


You are just reaping what you sow

His Children resemble Fatoyinbo

Something is fishy

Happy Birthday wish you long life and prosperity

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), says that the federal government has approved N600billion for electricity market to boost power supply.

Edmund Ejie, the Market Operator of TCN said this on Wednesday in Abuja, at the 3rd quarter Participants and Stakeholders Interactive forum for 2019.

The forum has as its theme: “Rules Compliance for Nigerian Electricity Market (NEM) Development and Sustainability’’.

Mr Ejie said the intervention by the federal government was at a very advanced level, adding that it had already been signed by President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to him, the intervention is for the payment of the shortfall in electricity invoices for the entire market.


“The whopping sum of money has never been injected into the power sector before but even when it is privatised, the government is spending more telling you that the privatisation is given a red flag.

“The fund will be ready for disbursement any moment from now.’’

He explained that the intervention was not restricted to a single chain in the market, as it was holistic.


Usman Mohammed, the Managing Director of TCN said that one of the factors that would make the Nigerian Electricity Market Participants thrive was by complying with rules, codes and orders.


Mr Usman said that there was a need for the operators to be proactive in recognising that regulatory and standard compliance was the key to market development.


“The theme of the event reflects the growing recognition, concern and importance of regulatory compliance and ruling documents implementation.


“Today’s interactive forum is part of the Market Operator effort to support you and improve the market performance,’’ he said.


He said that the forum was to access the market performance, changes and their impact on the market participants’ readiness and challenges, predict what lies ahead and to determine compliance to rules or lack of it.


Mr Mohammed said that TCN had commenced the provision of Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) in all trading modes in the country provision.


He said that TCN also plans to establish a lasting Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) equipment and facilitating the operational audit of both the System and Market Operator. (NAN)

Electricity: The Federal Government, Wednesday, disclosed that it was building power transmission line to link up some countries in the West African sub-region.


Speaking in Abuja at the 2019 participants/key stakeholders interactive forum organised by the Market Operator, the Managing Director of Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, Mr. Mohammed Gur Usman, stated that the project will take a 330KV electricity transmission line right from Nigeria up to Senegal.

He said, “In the whole of West Africa we are the only one that has the experience of 330KV but now 330 KV will run from Nigeria unto Senegal.

“Let me be precise, we are going to have a 330KV that will run from Shiroro to, to Parakou, Parakou to Northern Togo, Northern Ghana to Cote deviore.

“Another one will come from Northern Ghana to Senegal to Guinea-Bissau, to Mali to Burkina Faso and it will join Ghana. This is the study that we have launched.”

To this ends, Usman charged the major stakeholders in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry, NESI, especially, the Market Operator, MO, to be ready to assume the task of regional player in the sector.

He said, “As the Chairman of West Africa Pool, WAP, I made the WAP to draft, the directives which was approved on the 22nd of May and 22nd of December, 2018.

“That is the written of ECOWAS Head of State and Government of 22nf of December 2018. They approved that three directives and what are those directives that we forwarded to ECOWAS for approval are:

“First, All utilities in West Africa must have their revenue requirement. The second directive is that countries that elect not to give the requirement, they should budget for it in a transparent manner.


“This means that if the utilities do not have their course reflective tariff then the countries should budget for it in a transparent manner that is they should provide for it in their national budget.

“We did not stop there, we said that all utilities in west Africa should conduct themselves in such a way that they should do their procurement in a transparent manner- meaning they should adapt competitive procurement of their services and their goods because if we have the budget and we have the money and we apply it in an inefficient manner, it means that cost of energy will soon go up.

“In reality, if it is truly a market is driven by rules and regulation and people have to comply with the rules and there has to be sanction for performance and there has to be a reward of non-performance and a reward for extraordinary performance.

“If a market is existing in such a way that everybody does not performance and can get away with it, there is no way that that market can grow or perform.”

According to him, “TCN may probably cease to exist very soon and then you will have TSP and ISO, ISO will be the one that will be operating the market operator under ISO and everything that I have to do for that transition to take place, I have been doing it daily. Every day I have been doing those things that would lead to those organizations to separate.

“Because we have not applied the market position in our market tenders, in solar, you cannot say that Nigeria has comparative advantage but, in terms of normal generation that would be done by gas and hydro.

“Nigeria still has comparative advantage across West Africa. Which means there is a demand for electricity from here to the rest of West Africa? What we are doing is to enable that happen. To enable that happen, we are going to build a transition line across West Africa so that we can export energy from here to the rest of Africa.

“I am happy to tell you that the design consultancy and the environmental study for the medium backbone were launched

When I finally conclude Nigeria is dead....

Is seeing aregbesola, former osun state gov. Being appointed as a minister

This guy was a failed governor..... He couldn't take care of his people....

Like seriously, he failed as a governor and someone nominated him as a minister...

In a sane nation, this guy will just go for retirement.

Someone that can't devise a means to pay the pensioners, the civil servants in his state. Is now a minister .....

Nigeria is a joke

Aregbesola might have failed with Civil servant but he was the best Governor in the History of Osun State because of his achievements in infrastructures

Kanu is finally running mad
