Abeg, I want to know: what exactly did dis Maina do? What is his crime? That he exposed the massive corruptn that has bn going on in d Pension's for 40yrs Or that he also helpd himself to also take his 'own' share while catching oda thieves??

superbloke: Best comment so far.
@bolded, very true. The suspension and reinstatement of justice salami also comes to mind

What are you talking about? The President suspended Justice Salami on the recommendatn of d NJC itself; but didnt reinstate him even afta d NJC reversd its earlier Suspension recommendatn cos d mata at dat time was already in Court. And when talking about Rule of Law, d Restraint of a Court supersides every oda body or pronouncement in a nation...

geeez: How can a drug addict survive for 90days (in the BBH) without doping showing any clinical symptoms

This is d ONLY time I hv eva seen you actuali use yr head. Surprised!! This was d questn I was just about to ask

free2ryhme: una don start ooo conspiracy theorist .. which one be drugs again oooo [b][/b]

Bros, I tire for Nigerians o....source ni, yam ke

This is really good thinking by d Osun State Govt. Hope sm oda Govs wud learn.... But I hv a questn: hw come wheneva state Govts in Osun, Ogun, Ekiti, Lagos, Oyo (but Never, Ondo) just about as coughs and smone opens a thread about ANY tin they are said to hv done, regardless of the extent, it finds itself to d FP almost EVERY SINGLE TIMES?? Are these the only 5 states in dis country Or are we to bliv that d oda 31 or so odd states dont do anything? And smone wud tell me that there are not sm Mods rep sm political interests on dis forum!!..... Once again, good one Aregbe..

See the way sm small minds hv even turn dis topic to Achebe Vs Soyinka, Yoruba Vs Igbo sillly debates.....*smh*

thehomer: Anyone very concerned about this can contact their representatives from this page. Just locate your representative at each level and voice your opinion rather than simply shouting on an anonymous forum.

God bless you... By d way, I honestly dont know why dis shld even be taken so much space: d National shld simply reject dis particle item in d budget cos d 1st Ladies Office is unconstitutional and so cannot be appropiated for regardless of how beneficial the project is, Period. If d NA refuse to do dis, am sure a Lawyer wud go to the Courts to strike it down... Abeg, let me go and do beta tins wit my time.

Tolexander: which one is blood oil again?
He and his Aso rock cabal are also eating blood food.
Who fault is it if a country cannot protect her territorial mineral resources from bunkers and illegal minners(tani o ma ri ese were ti ko ni bu?). Talking as if Nigeria won't also hop at the opportunity if it comes her way.
Instead of blaming them, why can't he find a logical way to curb the bunkery. Nonsense.

My frnd Shut it, will you. There is a Demand side and a Supply side to every issue, and one wud hv to tackle an issue from both sides if there is any hope the issue can be effectively tackled substainably... The President is already dealing with d Supply side here at home by using d Navy and JTF to curb activities of vandals, and results from virtuali all sources indicate clearly dat Oil theft is significantly decreasing as Oil Production increases. Hundreds of illegal 'Oil Refineries', barges and tanks hv bn destroyd, and sm of the thieves arrestd. Howeva, d the theft wud continue and wud neva be completely eliminatd as long as d Demand side (Foreign Refineries that buy these Stolen Oil) is also tackled along with whateva is going on at home. That is how a Problem is solvd any where in d world, and dat is what GEJ is advocating: a two-plunge approach. Get Sense abeg...

earthgreeners: Yes, A sick Y'aradua was way better than a retarded GEJ

Yea, keep saying it; maybe you wud eventuali bliv it.. By d way, dat's why you were called 'a fooolish Clown' that draws laughter wheneva he opens his mouth *stilllaughingprofusely*

hercules07: Please ask him who was the petroleum minister under OBJ.

Yea, Oga Buhari was d Pet Min during parts of dat OBJ time, and b4 then he was head of NNPC. That is what he is supposd to be using to argue whateva he thinks he wants to argue, but he evidently does not hv even a twit of what he is trying to say. Yet he is trying to argue with me- dats he's undoing, Lol.

seanet01: O boy, you are nothing but a Consistent Liar. So because it was constructed just 4 or 5 years before Buhari came on board they were not comatose?
What a dunce?
Even the omotosho power plant constructed by PDP just about 5 years is now almost comatose.
Una no get brain walahi.

You do realise that you response to my demostration of a Lie of yours by saying anoda one instead of developing anoda one, right?? OmotoshoI bn operatm by d Chinese Chaps who built it is Comatose? What d fuvk is wrong with you?..... If you are still saying that d NEW Kaduna and Warri Refineries which Oga Buhari inheritd were Comatose, plz just continue to bliv it: its yr mind and yr hands afterall...

earthgreeners: e dey pain u say ur Oga na Failure...it's so simple

OBJ (8years) - 22.5% (Major acheivement - Telecom, NIPP initiative)

Yar'adua (3years) - 16.5% (Major acheivement - Amnesty/Fuel price stability)

GEJ (3years) - 9.2% (Major acheivement - ? )

Just imagine this fooolish Clown 'ranking' Yar'adua ova GEJ. Yar'adua? U well at all?? *laughingprofusely*

all4naija: Not until when I see it realized. At the moment, I would it is an avenue to waste public fund. Why not use that huge amount of money to resuscitate the older ones in the country or build new ones where necessary. Blind idea, indeed.

See anoda Blind ijiot again. Can't you read: it is Mostly a PRIVATE SECTOR proposed project with sm support from d FG... Lawd! No wonda sm people complain of d Educational System of Nigeria

seanet01: Another reason why you are nothing but a senseless and a myopic simpleton.
Did Buhari need to Build new refineries before he improved the Refined Crude Oil capacity of Nigeria?
Fact was when he took over as Head of State, he met refineries in a complete state of Comatose riddled by many years of stark corruption by previous governments.
But being a man after the welfare of Nigerians, he found a way to put the Oil refineries in total shape and thereafter they were producing at 100%, i repeat 100% capacity utilization thereby allowing Nigeria to have enough refined Petroleum products for Local consumption and EXPORT.
I know your brain is too shallow to process this.
But you can afford to keep shut if you have nothing to say than this crap.

Two Refineries, Warri and Kaduna (part), were planned and constructd bw 1976 and 1982 unda OBJ and Shagari; they were NEW plants. They were not comatose nor where the stiffled by corruption.... You seem not to hv realisd whom you think you are exchanging words with. You shld hv known by now that its wise to try to be careful while attempting to debate 'Facts' with sm persons, esp when you don't know what d fuvk you are talking about..

Lawd!! Oh no! This can't be true. I actuali liked dis gal; her style....*reallySad*

seanet01: You dunderhead think Nigerians are fools like your entire lineage?
The last time we checked GEJ budget almost a BILLION NAIRA TO POWER ASO ROCK GENERATORS, so what crap is you ape talking about?
Power generation has dropped to just above 3000 yet you ediot is here proclaiming Gej as a performer, what a clown you are.
Again, Thunder Fire You.

You say Whaat??

seanet01: The Buhari you are bringing into this is a trillion miles ahead of Both GEJ and PDP.
Before Buhari came on board on as Head of State, Nigeria was importing Refined Crude Oil, when he came on board he changed the tide and Nigeria was exporting 100,000 barrels of Refined Crude Oil till he left office. That is Governance not the chop make i chop system PDP is using.
Thunder Fire you flat head for your stvpidity.

Buhari never built a single refinery when he was Head of State, at least none that I know of. Cud you name any of such refineries?? Abeg I like Oga Buhari, dont lie with his name...

berem: Oh really? So why are they begging for food since they are fed fat? I can't seem to forget how 50 people share a head of fish in police college. smh

When will you start to use yr head AGAIN??....*smh*

seanet01: You see why i normally referred to you as a VILLAGE MONKEY?
Where in this thread have you seen somebody mentioned GEJ?
There is no reason for that, once we fingered PDP as the irresponsible government it is, every member of that shameless Party comes into fold.
In Sixteen solid years of PDP led Federal governance, Nigeria have not been able to add just 3000MW to the national grid despite spending billions of dollars on The sector.
Iran within 20 years added 35000MW to its national grid despite being under MASSIVE SANCTIONS.
That is our point not GEJ. GEJ is PDP.
So carry your immature and senseless crap to your village.

You are Really CRAZZY, I swear. GEJ, who is driving the above moves that wud completely SOLVE our Power problems, is still in PDP the last time I cheeked; now why wud you expect me or any sane person for that matter, to throw HIM away even if I thoroughly dislike d PDP?? Ehmm, how? In any case, what is d alternative? Your precious ACN or is it APC now? Shld I root for them NOW when d problem is been Solved, esp when one of d chief drivers therein (Oga Buhari) was reported to have said in 2011 that we wud hv 24/7 Power in 2019 if he was in Power? If true, why wud you advice me to give away what is capable of finali solving a notoriously recurring MALIGNANT problem, just to try anoda who only promised me solution in a time period I consider too long?? Plz, I will Pass and stick with what I hv now whilst doing every thing I can to make THIS work; you on oda hand, abeg PACK...

Another STU.PID thread. I dont care any one telling me how bad things was in Nigeria in terms of Power, I already knew that; I care about what THIS admin is doing to fixing the problem. I care that GEJ inherited an unstable Public Power system that only wheeled about 2000MW, but has stabilised it to about 4500MW (that's over 100% increase in more than 2yrs)- and dat is not considering that Nigeria actuali hv d Capacity to produce about 6700MW today but for Transmission and Distribution concerns. I care that additional 2700MW capacity wud be added to the Grid this year once the remaining 10 NIPP new Power plants are completed (and they wud be completed this year). I care that the over 3000MW Mambilla and Jebba Dam Hydropower, which oda Govts hv been promising for decades without even doing a proper Feasibility Study, are NOW bn CONSTRUCTED by Chinese Loans. I care that hundreds of Transmission/Distribution Lines and substations are been done simultaneously through out the country, just as Gas lines are bn repaired and laid/expanded. I care that the country is currently seeing through what d Harvard Business Study have called 'the single largest Power Privatisation and Reform' in Africa (if not the world); and I KNOW that it wud most certainly change the face of the Power sector in Nigeria once the process concludes in less than 3 months, just as the face of Telecoms was changed foreva in Nigeria afta the Liberalisation/Privatisation Process, which made the nation to not only be consistently amongst the fastest growing Telecoms market in d world but also took the No of Active Lines from about 400, 000 to over 119,000,000 today significantly outpacing those nations that were way ahead of us pre-2005. And I can only imagine what this same Power sector wud be in sm years, I can only imagine: d expansion of each of the 15 Gas/Thermal Power plants to at least 1000MW each by their new Private owners to meet their design requirements as well as the Hydroplants; the many completely new plants that wud come into the systems years from now, from various Investors (local and foreign) as well as various State Govts. I can only imagine d vast possibilities in this country if we continued in this direction and at this pace, and I will do my very little best to ensure we continued on this SURE Path and that nothing (repeat, NOTHING) derails it. This is Really what I CARE about.

bloodless: Positive step? The way people think in this God forsakn country... 650 million is almost 100 billion naira, THAT IS MORE THAN THE WHOLE FG BUDGET FOR EDUCATION FOR WHOLE COUNTRY...

Baby phucking steps first, this is just anothr opportunity to either embezzle or just another big piece of show that in 10 years will be a relic! the development needed in the health sector isn't some mega hospital...even with best equipmnt, if the education sector keeps on churning 20th century doctors in 21st century, goodluck

SHUT Da Fuvk Up, you Demented Impi. Yea, am calling you dat cos I hate it when notoriously IGNORANT Kids mk assertions in public, and insults their Betters in public. Are you CRAZZY?? Who told you that d entire FG budget for Education is #100bn, when it is almost #420bn (and that is even excluding I bliv, d more than #180bn from TETFund for Capital projects)?? And did you read the @OP's article to know that DIS IS ACTUALI A PRIVATE SECTOR PROPOSAL AND PROJECT with only sm Support from d FG, similar to d one being built by Diasporean Doctors in Abuja currently. How can the building of World class hospital in Nigeria by a Group of Nigeria private doctors, which wud treat complex ailments and attract sm of our very experiencd Diaspora doctors, ever be a bad idea? EWU..

sainty2k3: I guess you are just one of the GEJ guys on nairaland. Pls kindly follow the news well before you respond to any post,I got that fact from following the news. And if u read through I've already stated some of the reasons why I believe it won't work , so read well. Thanks

You got dat 'fact' by following the news! Which news? Sahara Reporters of all channels? Are you Madt or smthing?? Even that news article from SR, made it VERY CLEAR that d President went on d said test (assuming he even went in d 1st place) when he developed the symptoms during his travels, and didnt set out to get testing abroad. So where did you get d news that he purposely went abroad to do test on COMMON Dysentry, which SR gave d 'big' name- Ameoba coitis?... Kids!

GOOD o...

What u guys who are asking why certain nations are still ahead of us shld be looking at is the fact that we moved up 22 places, from 52nd to 30th in one month!! If we were to continue at similar rates, we wud both meet and surpass some of these nations soonest; BUT to do that, we need to play many more matches (friendlies, et al) and win as many of them as possible..

Maduale: How else do you draw comparisons? What other standards do you want him to set? British standards? Magical standards?
Here is a president that is pursuing the best agricultural transformation policy in our history. He is also setting a standard in the oil/gas industry with PIB.
He is reviving the railways and Privatising ailing PHCN. Isn't that standard enough?

The way you guys talk atimes is funny. This system has been bad for a long time and you expect Jonathan to wield a magic wand and turn everything overnight?
Things like fixing power are not oral activity. Jonathan is doing well so far by completing all those NIPP projects abandoned by Obj. Many of them are now working but the impact will not be felt immediately until the privatisation process of PHCN is finished.

Anoda Wise comment... Just like Keshi and d Super Eagles, we wud see a TOTAL change in Perception and COMPLETE SHAME to d sworn Critics, when many of these Projects and Policies completes. That's why am no longa that botherd again...

Gayigaskia: Most of these contracts were awarded during Yar adua. Stop deceiving the masses.

Cud you plz STFU?? Thnks

PapaBrowne: How long did it take from conception for your mother to deliver you? Nine months no? If she did it in less than 9 months that would have been a failure because you would have come out premature. You want fully executed major projects in less than 2 years of an administration? Are you an advocate for premature delivery??
Major projects are for the first time in Nigeria been completed at record speeds and you are here talking failure. All previous governments ignored our airports. All previous governments ignored our railways. All previous governments ignored our road networks. Infrastructure is coming back up.
Anytime I drive the Benin Ore road these days and remember the days I was stuck in the bush for hours until late in the night, the missed flights that the bad road caused, the gruesome accidents I saw on that road, I appreciate Jonathan's government even more.
Fashola has been working on the 50km Lekki-Epe road for eight years and they are yet to complete it despite the huge income the accrues from tolls.

The airports have improved for the first the first time in our history. The railways are working even if not the best yet. They are commissioning new power plants. Agriculture is finally been transformed and the impact is obvious. OBJ had 8 years to do all this and he squandered it. He worked well on economic reform but he failed woefully in infrastructure development. I am glad anytime I see the areas that are improving. To think that all these are happening with huge security challenges.

More importantly, we havent had a bomb from Boko Haram since November 2012. Thats 3 months since the last bombing.

Nigeria is on a path of progress and Jonathan's administration is doing greatly. Although his scorecard on fighting corruption is very poor. Emphasis on fighting. But he has chosen to attack it through the back door. Not a good approach. He put the tools in our hands via the FOI but we have refused to use it. Also he doesn't come out strong on rule of law.

One thing Jonathan must learn to do is to inspire the nation. Working is not all it takes. Inspiration gets the citizens to participate effectively in the governing and developmental process. He hasn't inspired us well enough but he is working and performing assiduously!!

Very fair comment, and a Wise one too... You also startd very well @emboldened

When are d successful Private bidders going to completely take over PHCN assets? That's what I want to know. I dont care what d corrupt and inefficient PHCN workers do cos in my mind's eyes they are already GONE. Let d new owners take over and misbehave, let them watch me sue their azzess..

What was ACN Politicians discussing repeatedly with Justice Salami, when they had Active cases b4 his courts?? Its a Shame really..

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Have you asked yourself what happened to National Hospital Abuja? What happened to Abuja central hospital We do not lack Hospitals in the country, what we need is to expand on the existing ones and raise their standards.

Obasanjo came up with model Health Care centre distributed across the country with Federal Medical Centers and Teaching Hospitals to handle more complicated cases. Many States have Central Hospitals established in major towns and cities across the state. They too if their standards are raised will compliments the FMC and Teaching Hospitals.[/quote]What happened to the National Hospital in Abuja?? Plz tell..
