This has got to be the funniest video of 2015 Nigerian politics. In 2014, it was chei there is God oooo, in 2015, it is 'Im not going anywhere'...
Nigerian police and SSS have a special training in grappling stubborn people by the waist. Once their hand is fully tucked in your waist, you know your centre of gravity is in their hands. The rest is just a matter of pull and drag.
Oga Nimasa, I no pity you at all. When you were swallowing billions, you no remember Nigerians.
Sai baba jor! More criminals will be handled like this or worse.
IN case you have forgotten, this new EFCC chairman no dey smile. He is a terror to thieves and looters.

You go fear Physics analysis. LOL

doncaster:
I thought bail is free in Nigeria or is this bail different from police bail. Somebody in the know pls.

Bail is free means that govt/court is not taking the money permanently. You'll get it back when you produce the accused person.

No one is above the law. If Sanusi has a case to answer, he should be invited and questioned, the same way everyone else was questioned.

It's still produced by the same Range Rover but in their Chinese factory.

Almost all the leading autos in the world have their factories in Chna where they produce their cars with Chinese specifications.

BIG FAT LIE!

It's not produced by Land Rover. It is a fake. Many manufacturers face this problem in China. They only look away due to very weak intellectual property laws in China.

Very good response to a deranged and shameless Okoromadu.

Jonathan and everyone on that list needs to go to prison for a looooong time. Haba!

If these people are not jailed and the funds recovered, then APC/Buhari would have failed us big time.

Okojo-Iweala is a fraud masquerading under Harvard & World Bank.

GT NMC is now $1 = N240

Very well articulated. God help Fashola and his team.

$1 = N230 | GT Bank NMC @ 4:04AM today

This unstable man knows that they're coming for him hence this panicked write-up.

When you criminals were stealing the commonwealth blind, did you consider any rule of law then? Mumu!

Elrufai seriously means business. I wish him and his team success.

Gbawe:
Buhari and his appointees should all simply ignore the PDP and get on with their work. Do everything by the book and build cast - iron cases against these wicked and unconscionable looters.

Let the Wailers talk of 'vendetta' because "Bafawara stood surety for Dasuki" and let them say Buhari is after Dokpesi because AIT tried to blacken the image of Mr.President in the lead up to the elections. Upright and bright folks, who simply want a better Nigeria, will know that all this noise, like the "GEJ till 2080" empty rhetoric, will be discredited into total silence once all these men begin to get their guilty verdicts in competent Nigerian courts of law.

What's in bold is all i care about. If PMB's government can successfully prosecute these criminals, in good time, and get them LONG prison sentences, everyone would sit up. Anything less than that would be very disappointing.

This car isn't white. Or is it my eyes?

Neither. I detest this "SUV-coupe" shape. Very ugly.

braindee:
Of course, states can have Solar system version of the IPP to power especially industrial areas and commercial centers.

And don't forget the gas-fired modular IPP model which Lagos has been using for public utilities for years now. I hope Fashola takes that initiative to the center, and the NA makes legislation which would enable states in conjuction with private organizations generate power for sale to the distribution companies.

braindee:
As a stakeholder in the Renewable/Alternative Power industry in Nigeria with over 3 years commercial success, I believe that we can achieve this. Planning is critical. I will also advise that the execution of the solar power system should be off-grid and regional. Having one generating station will have lots of operational cons. But we can do this.

100% in agreement with you. We need modular power plants rather than the old school national grid system. I even think that each state should have its own grid.

Gbawe:
How far Oga Skyfall? Long time. hope you dey 'kampe'. You don't post much lately. Great info. Very informative. Advances are being made daily in the area of renewable energy and a Nation like Nigeria must at least look seriously at solar energy as part of the power mix.

I'm doing fine, bro. Thanks.

I've been on Nairaland, but more as an observer. Don't worry, i read all your posts. Keep the progressive flag flying. I hope APC srategists are reading all these wonderful ideas and contributions.

Ngasky:
Sunlight extends to nighttime? We are back to batteries once again (the special thermal liquids) . You admit this is experimental as such they must be extra extra expensive. Think of the amount of energy to turn a turbine and remember the law of thermodynamics the input is always greater than the output. (Perpertual motion machine analogy)
What is the size of the lens or mirrow to generate just 1000w of energy
I am very interested in that liquid that stores heat energy and if possible i would like to know the chemical name of that substance with such great possibility. Thank you

In a rush to "win the argument" you didn't take your time to read about the technology. My post says that the steam turbine is "connected to a power generator" which is a century-old technology for generating electricity (through electromagnetism). What was experimental as at 2013 is using it "to power a thermochemical reaction".

If you're really a scientist, you would take your time to read wide about the technology before rushing ro reply cynically.

For the chemical used to store the heat for running the turbines at night, read up on "fluidized silica sand" as a thermal storage and heat transfer medium. That's just one of the industrial scale heat storage media out there.

The bottomline is that the future of renewable energy is very bright. New technologies are coming out on a daily basis, such that even the oil addicts like the USA are paying attention. Nigeria as an emerging economy obviously stands to gain a lot from this trend.

Haha...beuriful news. Let the action film start.

Ngasky,

Your argument is based on solar panel/batteries/inverters [photovoltaic cells technology]. That's old, low-scale technology.

Different countries now use what's called concentrated solar power technology which is on a large-scale.

Let me borrow Wikipedia's definition of the technology..."Concentrated solar power (also called concentrating solar power, concentrated solar thermal, and CSP) systems generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight, or solar thermal energy, onto a small area. Electricity is generated when the concentrated light is converted to heat, which drives a heat engine (usually a steam turbine) connected to an electrical power generator or powers a thermochemical reaction (experimental as of 2013)."

The beauty of CSP is that it doesn't require constant daylight/sunshine. The heat of the sun is stored overnight in special thermal liquids so that the thermal plants run round the clock. And in spite of all, it's cheaper to build than traditional power plants.

That's what is used at the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility [http://ivanpahsolar.com/] in California and currently in development in Masdar City [www.masdar.ae] in the UAE.

Dasuki is a criminal and should be tried for treason in a military court, not forgetting to recover all stolen money. This is beyond corruption.

They should go into farming.

[color=#1986BC] OK... so because dullardeen from Daura wants to scale a budget for his cronies to share, civil servants and agencies keen on sniffing body language or body odour like benzene crazed addicts have decided to cripple the private sector as well as the economy, indirectly, with FDI-deterent fines and what not,that is if Nigerian employees and consumers don't bear the heavy brunt.So,if you are done chasing away the few FDIs brave enough to do business in Nigeria, we are sure you just will come after our lean pockets with ridiculous taxation rates , after already being laid off in our thousands by your horribly concoted, extortionate and vindictive fiscal penalties on foreign blue-chips......Oh the follies of dulllardeen body odour sniffing chihuahuas and their kumbaya chanting gullible followers.. ..

Hahaha...AWW (Association of Wailing Wailers)

He must be a f00l for making his case worse. As if killing the judge would have ended the case.

bedford101:
did i hear you say 320 per dollar? or u meant 220?

Lol sorry, 220/$

Justtobor:
Please folks what is the rate for dollar via gtbank pos?
Specifically aliexpress

GT has been hovering around N220/$ for a while now

Zenith Bank N346.20/£1 via Naira MasterCard today

chilez:
Hello house, Good morning. Who knows any bank with the cheapest Pound sterling rate, black market's price is really outrageous £1 = #353 as at today.
