Indeed. All those connected with GEJ will go because they all helped him scam Nigeria blind. Of course they will lie about 'performance' and try to steal glory for the GEJ government but honest and upright Nigerians know the truth.

Nigeria’s largest power generation plant, Egbin Power Plc, is for the first time in eight years generating above 1,000 megawatts of electricity.

This follows continuous investment and upgrade activities on the plant by the Sahara Power Group and Korea Electric Power Corporation, Egbin Power explained in a statement on Wednesday.

Eight years ago, the plant hit the 1,000MW mark for barely two hours and never attained it again until now, according to the company.

Prior to the privatisation of the plant in November 2013, the Egbin plant average generation was below 500MW due to the dismal state of its six units. At its lowest point, only two of the six units were operational, according to the statement.

The Chairman, Egbin Power Plc, Mr. Kola Adesina, was quoted as saying that the feat signposted the unfolding success of the privatisation process and the power sector reform in the country.

Adesina attributed the achievement partly to the direct intervention of the Federal Government in its determination to resolve the power crisis, which had resulted in recent improvements in gas supply

[s]Its not about availability of capable hands in the south. Everybody knows the answer is pretty obvious. It is about what is important to us. Appointment to kinsmen or delivering good governance. I hear many of the newly approved private refineries are from the south. Like I said elsewhere, even if each of those 65 refineries employs 100 people, that is a whopping 6500 jobs. I'll take 6500 jobs before considering if Ameachi or anybody from the south be given appointment.


Simple!!
Then lobby to make the cut-off for the students from your state to be as low as that of the north! Why worry about the low cut-off from the north. People are being encouraged to go to school so they won't be readily available BH members tomorrow (and their girls married off at early age) and you are pained by that. If you are really desperate equality, then start working so the cut-off for enugu and anambra be reduced to the same level as that of yobe.

Now the highlighted part is the type of mentality that PISSES ME OFF.
We are talking about cutting the cost of governance and you are still promoting 1 minister from each state. What has the number of ministerial portfolios got to do with the number of state? So if Ijebu and Anioma states are created tomorrow, we will have to create two extra ministerial portfolios as well. THAT IS JUST CRAP!
And again, since you mentioned it, let me ask what the hell is the minister of state doing that the main minister cannot do? For example, will the ministry of education collapse without a minister of state for education? Is this not the wastage we are talking about. So you will be pissed off if PMB chooses to run a compact gov of 20 ministries abi since obviously the potfolios will not go round to every state. You may want to read what Festus Keyamu has to say about the legality of not following the usual 1 minister per state bu1lsh!t http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/keyamo-buhari-can-appoint-less-than-37-ministers/210359/

Finally again, I read Keyamu's perfect responce to people like you on another thread on this appointment saga: https://www.nairaland.com/2560234/keyamo-blasts-politicians-against-buharis[/s]

MadCow1:
If you think Amaechi failed in Rivers State then you most definitely missed what his mission was.

He won.. Delivering the state to APC in terms of the Gubernatorial was his personal mission and that hasn't completely failed yet.

AlPeter:
so why should he gave the SGF and Chief of Staff to folks he can't trust? Use your head

nobeku:
EKWENSU!!!

nobeku:
Hmmm..another new fan who's desperately hooked on my 1 liners..sorry...I ain't impressed..I'm used to losers like you falling over like heroine addicts just for mental ressurection...SCALLYWAG!!!

hinwazaka:
Aside the President, the SGF and chief of staff are the most powerful people in the government. They are the right and left hand of the executive.

SeverusSnape:
On the bolded, I from henceforth disagree...Believe you me, omenka is a thousand times better than PassingShot judging from all the stuffs I just read. As for the document he promised to provide, I'm still waiting. The guy is just a common sycophantic paid poster.

nameo:
GEJ had 70% of his appointees from the south? How? When?

Are you insane or just hungry? How could you just LIE like this and with a straight face cos you must support Buhari?

CSTR2:
You seriously don't get the point.
The argument i have against buhari is not just because they are northerners. It is that there are far better candidates in the south and in higher numbers.
If the north had the best track record in governance, their leadership position would be justified beyond reasonable doubt albeit grulgingly.
The north is one of the places on earth to be a child,how can you then justify their domination of a supposedly progressive nation.?

PassingShot:
Most of the gains Nigeria has recorded since 1999 were out of natural occurrence and development. E,g, opening up of communication and technology.

1toRtoiSe1:
you should have used the above space to point out the senselessness in the post. I guess you couldn't find a fault in it.

1toRtoiSe1:
VP is not an appointment. Choosing a VP from another ethnic group is a bargaining tool used by political parties. If buhari had decided to chose his VP from one of his blood brothers, if he will win he will win. MKO rode on a muslim-muslim ticket and still won.

Buhari can go ahead to chose his cabinet from daura, what matters is performance.

Would you prefer your blood brother being a minister and you still unable to feed to a northerner who provides policies that put food on your table?

Sweetlemon:
Osinbanjo is most respected VP in Nigeria ever. If this was all about ethnicity, he would have been relegated to the background once mission is accomplished!

PassingShot:
Tod, what you've presented has actually supported my point that August has witnessed less bombings than June and July.
Grow up!

PassingShot:
Campaigns have gone with the elections, my friend. Stop hallucinating!


A kid of eight or seven years will understand that to destroy is easier than to repair. Jona iiresponsibly allowed BH to fester for 5.5 years and you expect it to be wiped out in three months? You're beginning to sound very ridiculous to say the least.
The efforts being put together now have achieved far better result than what the clueless man achieved with BH.

At least, BH are no longer able to engage our military in daring confrontation as they did during the clueless era. The suicide bombings are being contained too. Within the last two weeks, we've unfortunately recorded about three or four of such bombings unlike in June and July when there was hardly a gap of two days inbetween their strikes.

Cure yourself of bigotry. Jonathan is HISTORY!

Buhari has no excuse for botching all the progress that was recorded before his ascendancy.

It is not known what spell Buhari has cast on Nigerians, but the loss of nearly 1,000 lives in almost two months has not generated the kind of admonishment Jonathan faced in similar circumstances.

The pattern of recent attacks has been almost monotonous: identify a crowded location, hit it with a suicide bomber.



He may not have danced away at campaign rallies immediately after Boko Haram attacks like his predecessor, but he has yet to personally visit a single blast scene, and official government statements on the killings have been sparse.

Aside from relocating the military command centre to Borno state on his first day in office, travelling out of the country to solicit the help of world leaders in battling the insurgents, and sacking his predecessor's service chiefs and national security adviser, Nigeria can hardly point to a single Boko Haram success story under Buhari.

Sweetlemon:
And speaking of SS, how many SS people do you see still crying and being over emotional about GEJ's loss? Many may not have warmed up to Buhari yet but they are just doing siddon look now while getting on with their personal lives. So please give us a break ok. And don't bother quoting me anymore cos I've realized that arguing with bigots who can never see anything good about other tribes yields zero results. You can keep chatting with Passigshot if he still wishes to indulge you


Good afternoon.

I obviously meant it in the Ijaw sense. Obviously. These people sha. Always grasping at straws to prove empty points. O ma se o. This just not normal anymore. UNA DON PARA!

PassingShot:
[s]You still don't get it. There was nothing like 53 suitcases with dollars stuffed in them.

It is not just possible. It's an IMPOSSIBILITY to bring raw cash (dollars) from another country without it being detected at the departure airport.

Think. Reason. Reflect. Ponder. Ruminate.

I give up on you. Despite clearly saying "even if we agree for a minute ...", you still failed to understand the point.

What happened to the other part of the post? No answers to them?

Sweetlemon:
[s]Aww. I must have really hit a sore spot. Sorry dear.
Gosh! These people are so emotional! [/s]

PassingShot:
[s]She makes perfect sense than the cheap lies you spam the thread with.

Elections are over Miz[/s].

Sweetlemon:
[s]Lol. Most of ll these universities GEJ built were just avenues to steal money. Most are not even nearing half way completed!
My dear. Issorite ok? You love GEJ because he said you Igbos are his backbone. Fine. Clap for yourselves. [size=14pt]But always have it at the back of your minds that his own people have since moved on[/size] and even decamped while you remain here offering yourselves as Abobakus. Well done.[/s]

PassingShot:
What 53 suitcase? For you to bring this up means you're even more naïve and gullible than I thought.


2. If we agree for a minute that there were 53 suitcases of cash, the acceptance that they were being brought in did not even violate the decree then. So what loot? Loot from UK or US or where?

This government will not tolerate kick-backs, inflation of contracts and over-invoicing of imports etc. Nor will it condone forgery, fraud, embezzlement, misuse and abuse of office and illegal dealings in foreign exchange and smuggling.

TheNonce:
[s]Ayah! Baby boy has no retort! What does one expect when dealing with a daft punk? Anyway playtime is over child! Interacting with you is beginning to also make me dumb and I can't afford to exist like you can I? You see that pile of garbage over there, go sit in it! Lmfao! [/s]
