You're obviously used to failing!

And you're obviously delusional.

I've come to notice many Nigerians don't know the critical problems facing the country.

Which problem of Nigeria will Buhari succeed in solving?

Is it education?
Is it corruption?
Is it poor infrastructure?
Is it tribalism?
Is it unemployment?
Is it the unfair and inefficient federal system in Nigeria?
Is it security?


Buhari is wasting his time.

^^If Buhari doesn't pass the budget, he has no other option but to work with GEJs budget with appropriated less than 20 percent of the budget to expenditure. This means that Buhari has only three years to perform. What a shame.

The only thing the people of the Niger Delta should demand is resource control. If not, the 20 billion barrels of crude oil money will be wasted on rebuilding the insurgency destroyed north east.

Time for juicy contracts.

I find the whole episode to be boring. It was too dry. If GEJ had won and violence commenced in the North, there would have been nothing to joke about.

"Report according to NAIRA-DOLLAR..COM". This is what the mugus are quoting as a reputable source.

All these mickey mouse journalists with their fake news sites. When will they stop spreading lies?

Now that "progressives" are a majority in the national assembly, let's see if they'll pass the PIB.

Is this not the kisser?

That's the way forward. Amaechi how far?

Your president elect also didn't go to school. You're not alone

How can you be of help...I really need to learn about Excel....

If you have about 3gb of data to spare, I can give you video tutorials to download. Excellent tutorials.

The BCA has no such report. Sahara should stop with the gonzo journalism.

Where is so-called BCA report?

They know that the old man can't perform and they're making excuses to cover up. Buhari, we are warning you, fulfil you and your party should fulfil your extraordinary promises or face the boot. You have just three years. Campaign starts in 2018.

LmaO. As a financial modeller, excel is an app I can't do Without. Almost 90 percent of Nigerian graduates cannot use excel properly. Its not really a friendly app like the other in the office suite but I see it as the most important.

Sahara reporters are the political telemundo.

Seriously though, the PIB should be passed and NNPC be privatised. That's the only solution to these corruption rumours towards every minister of petroleum.
The minister of petroleum under Buhari will also be accused of corruption. It will never end until we liberalise the oil sector.

The oil industry globally is actually one of the most corrupt and we can't shield ourselves from this by having a nationalised oil company like NNPC. The corruption scandal rocking Petrobras is a pointer.

I remember that Obasanjo was President and petroleum minister for so almost eight years. There was no kind of corrupt allegation that was not thrown at Obasanjo and the ministry of petroleum. .

Allegations of corruption will never end in Nigeria until we setup proper structures and systems while empowering them with the right people to ensure that they're sustainable.

Lagoon things on my mind

Absolutely spot on.

Totally scanty news. Let me dig for more info

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-04-14/nigeria-signs-rosatom-deal-for-up-to-80-billion-nuclear-power


Nigeria is in talks with Russia’s Rosatom Corp. to build as many as four nuclear power plants costing about $20 billion as Africa’s biggest economy seeks to boost generation and end daily blackouts.

“A joint coordination committee is in place and negotiations are ongoing for financing and contracting,” Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Franklin Erepamo Osaisai said at a conference in Kenya’s Kwale coastal region on Monday. “We are meticulously implementing our plans.”

The West African nation signed an agreement with Rosatom to cooperate on the design, construction, operation and decommissioning of a facility in 2012. A further three nuclear plants are planned, taking total capacity to 4,800 megawatts by 2035, with each facility costing $5 billion, Osaisai said. The first Nigerian plant will be operational in 2025.

Peak electricity output of Africa’s biggest economy is about 3,800 megawatts, with a further 1,500 megawatts unavailable because of gas shortages. South Africa, with a third of Nigeria’s population yet eight times more installed capacity, has also signed an agreement with Rosatom as the nation looks to add 9,600 megawatts of atomic power to its strained grid. It may spend as much as 1 trillion rand ($83 billion).

South Africa’s agreement with Rosatom gave the company the right to veto the nation doing business with any other nuclear vendor, Johannesburg-based Mail & Guardian reported in February.
Cooperation Meeting

Rosatom and Nigerian officials met last month within the framework of a 2009 intergovernmental agreement to discuss cooperation, Rosatom spokesman Sergei Novikov said by phone from Istanbul. To date, no memorandums have been signed about the development of a nuclear plant, he said.

Rosatom will hold a majority, controlling stake in Nigeria’s nuclear facility while the rest will be owned by the country, with roles to be specified in contracts, Osaisai said. “The government will enter a power-purchasing agreement for the nuclear plant.”

The plants will be financed by Rosatom, which will then build, own, operate and transfer them to the government, he said.

Rosatom is marketing its reactors with generous financing offers as Moscow seeks new markets for its technology amid a looming recession. Over the last year, its international portfolio of orders has grown to more than $100 billion, including deals to build new reactors in Iran, Hungary, India and Jordan.
Hungary Deal

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Russia agreed last year on a 12 billion-euro ($12.7 billion) deal to expand the Paks nuclear power plant, scrapping plans for competitive bids for the biggest Hungarian public contract in a generation.

Under the deal, which Hungary’s parliament classified for 30 years, Russia agreed to provide 10 billion euros for the project in a 30-year loan at below-market rates. Hungary is in talks with the European Union after the bloc raised objections that Russian companies had exclusive rights to supply fuel to the plant and started a probe of possible state aid in the financing of the project.

One megawatt is enough to provide energy to 2,000 average European homes.

Africa’s sole nuclear power station is Koeberg in South Africa, which is owned by state-owned Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd.

(An earlier version of this story was corrected to show the correct cost per plant and of the total program.)

Where did he beg APC? Besides, he's only being a politician. Up Fayose!

What is Zamfara?

You northerners have shown him the door, no need for the praise singing. Live with your Buhari.
