Politics › Re: Stunning Picture Of A Train In Enugu In 1936 by taharqa: 11:52pm On Aug 13, 2012
You guys should talk Truth small na. The NRC have been revived(some of their derelict offices rebuilt, workshops and way stations refurbished, and new workers engaged). I also know that trains are now running the Lagos-Ibadan/Ilorin line and that the Lagos-Kano rail tract rehabilitation is complete or almost complete(there is a 'troublesome' bridge somewhere in Kwara I think that is reason South-North train service has not yet started- they were supposed to start in the 1st week of August). The Intra-Lagos train service is fully running; and I heard that other intra-state services like Kaduna and Enugu has also started(can any one confirm this plz).

The Eastern Line(Portharcourt-Maiduguri tract) is been rehabilitated in 3 phases. Can anyone from those areas info us of the progress on that tract so we can put the NRC and the Contractors on their toes(Pics will be much appreciated).

Anyways, for the 1st time in very many years the NRC is back and the total revival of the rail sector seem on course- this year perhaps.
PS: I know nothing about the progress on the contracts of the Modern Standard Gauge Railways recently signed

[b]You guys should stop these naive talks- who told any of you that the sheik is High? He is not. This is exactly how an average Northern ELITE think.
They are the BIGGEST problem in Nigeria and if we can defeat them then Nigeria might have some chance in fulfilling her great potentials.

Am a student of history with interest in the interplay of Power, Identity and Information, so when I see Power Mongers at play(like some Israeli leaders utter disregard for the identity and lands of the Palestinians Or some elected Republicans vowing from Obama's 1st day in office that their main goal in office was to prevent his re-elections-so they would do any thing including allowing the US to default on its debt if that would hurt Obama and prevent him from being re-elected). I was one of the biggest critics of GEJ, as I was pf most former Nigerian govts, and did not vote for him in 2011 cos of his party BUT not anymore. I know exactly which is the bigger Birds in the game and so the ones to cage first.

This was what another Northern Elite purportedly speaking for " The Northern Elders Forum" said at the same Ramadan lecture :

Demdem: and where in my post did i suggest such? and will enhanced flour coupled with some additives not make bread? Me think u are daft.
I will not waste my time arguing wit you, but just to note dat d Cassava FLOUR(ie for all peasteries which includes bread, cake, gala etc) Enhancement Policy(d Wheat/Cassava 60/40% Flour admixture) dat mani of u said early dis yr will nt be implementd, is already on course. The govt early last month hv imposd import duties on importd wheat just as it promisd at d beginning of d yr, sm Cassava Flour Blending equipments 4rm China are already in d country etc etc- all dis will not only provide value 4 our own farmers and job opportunities in d processing nd distributn of d flour as well as reducing d about #600billion dat 9ja spends in importing Wheat esp 4rm d USA(which i think was our largest import bill). Our wheat farmers are also supposd to hv more value cos of dis policy(though am nt sure where dis is currently)...anoda policy dat is working

Politics › Re: Power Supply To Reach 9000MW Soon – Presidency by taharqa: 3:32pm On Aug 13, 2012
GAR3TH: From what I remember reading OBJ was the one who commissioned the project and I also read that NIPP reached 75% completion during Yar'Adua's administration. During the present and past administrations the power plants was and still are under construction. But according to you, we should give GEJ all the credit even though he had nothing to do with the NIPP expect for being the one in office when it will be completed? That like the final runner in a relay race getting all the credit for finishing even though his teammates also ran with with the baton in the race.

My point is you and a few other people on Nairaland give GEJ waaaay to much credit. You also denounce and repudiate the positive things past administrations and opposition parties did. GEJ has projects of his own but not everything completed or commissioned by GEJ is made by him.
Guy plz get yr info right. Obj only completed a few of d NIPP projects(and even dose plants dat were completd cud nt deliva power to d grid cos they 'forget' to connect gas facilities to them). When Obj left, Yar'adua did virtuali nothing to complete d projects(infact he stoppd it cos of d Power Probe tin, remember?). GEJ is nw completing d project, upgrading Transmission nd Distributn infrastructure nd supplying real power to people as well as Privatising d sector, nd here u are trying to tk d credit 4rm him yet u guys wud blame him 4 evri wrong time in d coun3(even if most happend b4 he came to power). By d way, if oda presidents hv bn continuing Projects they met as he is doing wud d coun3 be in its present state?

Everything about him is absurd and negative his first name has opposite influence on Nigeria, even spoiltwise, under his tenure we didnt make it to last nations cup, sisia w̶̲̥̅̊α̇̇̇s rated one of did best in Nigeria, proved it under obj and Yaradua, he was a failure under badluck..for the first time we've been participating in an olympic even we couldnt win even a corper or boiling ring let alone bronze..see the truth his he had ambition for naija, he convinced us enough to believe so for the first time in my life i voted and ȋ̝̊̅̄τ̣̣̥ was for him.

Feel free to quote him here. cheesy
He did not 'Speak against Boko Haram'(ie condemn them), he just embellished it, helping to further the "narrative" of a terroist group by saying that the Federal Government and Nigerian Security Agencies(Army,SSS, Police etc) are the real Boko Haram!!! He also tried to dissociate Boko Haram almost entirely from Islam.

No sir, He did not condemn it. He just chose to curry political gains from the killing of innocents
Foreign Affairs › Re: Romney Picks Paul Ryan As His Running Mate by taharqa: 11:20pm On Aug 11, 2012
Olodostein: Hahahaha!!! You took a CHEAP shot at my moniker; that is the best you can do Ferret?

From your post on this thread, I see that you get your facts from politicians which clouds your sense of reasoning.

Back in 2009 when Obama was inaugurated President, A marine in one of their foreign bases asked me what I thought about it. I said, "this is how it was supposed to be from independence".

What I know is that America is fundamentally phucked. I don't need to start breaking things down from the Federal Reserve system to the social fabric. You might not have the intellectual stamina to withstand the barrage.

Obama is a puppet controlled locally by Chicago political machine and pushed around by the real Kingmakers. Romney is more liberal(forget the campaign trial), empathetic and independent minded than him.

If the real Dons pulling the strings from behind the scene wants Obama or perhaps Romney to be humiliated to the core, it will be a foregone conclusion.
Sorry, but what did you actually say here?
Politics › Re: SSS Raid Bomb Factory In Kano by taharqa: 10:17pm On Aug 11, 2012
[b]We need to acknowledge the way the people of the Great City of Kano have cooperated with Security Agencies since the beginning of the insurgency there, by rejecting theses 'narrative' of these madmen and providing information to the Security agencies. If more people, particularly in the Northeast(Borno-Yobe-Bauchi axis) would do same, we would be seeing the end of the reign of terror as soon as possible.

We should also acknowledge the sacrifices of the Security Agencies, whose service men in spite of the considerable danger they personally face in carrying out their jobs, have been doing their best to protect the rest of us.

I note this line in the article: "A military push in the north appears to have weakened the group. However, Jonathan's critics say he relies too much on the military to defeat Boko Haram, rather than addressing northerners' grievances such as poverty and unemployment". While rejecting any idea that the insurgency is a result of poverty or unemployment, I agree that they aid the insurgency. The Government should therefore create an Economic Intervention Plan for the Northeast, targeting the people of the region, particularly the youths(however, this should NOT be targeted DIRECTLY at the members of the Boko Haram Sect so as not the create the impression that such kinds of violence would be tolerated, talk less of been rewarded). The Government should approach this plan in the same admirable manner, it has under a year, handled the issue of Almajiri by building schools across the region for them- sometime that past governments including those from the north itself had refused to do.

May God Help US.[/b]

The NRC has not been privatised. In fact, it has been completely turned-around and is now largely functional. Its moribud offices have been refurblishd, most its way stations and workshop have been retooled, it has already conductd about 2 massive Recruitment processes for new workers, while its rail lines are either been repaired or already functional after a long time. Some interstate trains are now running after more than 10yrs of inactivity(the Lagos-Ibadan/Ilorin rail lines has since been repaird and train are now running on d route; the Ilorin-Kano rehabilitation has been completed and trains are supposed to have been running South-North but 4 a new problem with a bridge). The other PortHarcourt-Maiduguri rail line is been rehabilitated as we speak and is supposd to be completed by year end(hopeful this timeline wud be kept). The contracts 4 new modern rail lines has been given though I hv very little clue wot amount of progress have been made in this respect..... So d NRC has not been sold but is now functional: thankfully, we no longer pay salaries to workers that do nothing like we used to do

Yes Obj startd d Power Reform Process(a very important contributn of his bn d Power Reform Act dat set d legal framework 4 d sector); he also startd to build sm power stations. SOME of d stations were completed though sm of dem cud nt produce power cos gas facilities were nt connected to dem(they apparently 4got to include dat in dier plan!!!) while odas were ongoing when he left office. When Yar'adua came in, he haltd d process nd didnt release any monies cos of d noise generatd by d Power Probe(rememba?). This state of statics essentiali continued in large part till GEJ took ova 4rm Yar'adua, nd in wot was one of d 1st important tins he did outlined a Power Road Map(rememba?). Meanwhile, the power projects were finally continued, sm of dem later completed nd wit sm of dose 4rm Obj era, connectd to gas and now produces power to d grid; the Transmission and Distribution facilities were also bn improvd across d nation. all these is wot has culminatd in power rising 4rm bout 2800MW when he came into office to 4200MW today, as well as d general stability witnessed nd of course beta services to 9jerians... Even more significant in my view is dat it is GEJ dat has taken d most actionable STEPS in d Privatizatn of d Power sector: 1. He was d one dat dissolved d former PHCN into 18 daughter companies preparatory to dier privatisatn last yr 2. He paid d 'PHCN' workers monitizatn benefits nd increasd dier salaries by 50% so they can be at a better bargaining position wit dier new owners(and also so dat they will hv less incentives to derail d process dis time; there still is d Pension issue though) 3. He boldly introducd a new investment-friendly Tariff which has already startd to yield sm positives as IOCs are more willing to supply gas to d power stations now 4. The handova of TCN to internationally well-known Manitoba cop to manage for 3 yrs 5. Amazingly nd 4 d 1st time, govt in dis instance followd its own Timeline in d privatisatn process(submissn,closing,opening of bids), having met all d dates in d timeline and even goes ahead to remind us of d remaining 5 definate dates ,when d privatisatn process wud hv cm to an end-by October (again i wot to emphasize dat 4 d 1st time govt is religiously ff her timeline).

All I'm saying is that Nigerians should not get blinded by the "Improving Light" issue that they forget other important aspects of their life. They shouldn't forget that this Govt is utterly corrupt thats why its being shunned by sensible Governments all over the world. In the past wasn't Obama GEJ's homie?

Let me tell you how disastrous this GEJ is: If dem born Obama well, make he hang around GEJ and see if Romney won't use it as an issue and destroy him at the Polls.

So, in hindsight, all I'm saying is: [b]NIGERIANS, REALIZE THAT YOUR LIFE CAN GET BETTER! REALIZE THAT YOU ARE SUFFERING! THEY GIVE YOU TELEPHONES AFTER 40 YRS, THEN "CONSTANT" ELECTRICITY FOR ONE MONTH AFTER 50YRS+ IS NOT A REASON TO JUMP FOR JOY!

Well, your guess is just as good as mine! meanwhile this is the peak of rainy season and all our hydro turbines usually do well this period..lets wait till the peak of dry season to check..

What happened was that there were some saboteurs in d top echelon of TCN(Transmission Company of Nigeria) responsible 4 d decrease, who d Minister uncharacteristically identified and sackd (the 3 of them). Following which the situatn is again stabilising. This kind of swift response is one of d reasons why sm ppl re saying smthing is diff now...by d way, d TCN is now been managed by Manitoba International, a well-known international power utility company

WTF!! Someone is grossly incompetent and you want him to remain there because of sentimental reasons.
Fela said "suffering and smiling" but it be like say nigerians never suffer reach...or they enjoy it
My frnd define 'grossly incompetent'? am sure u re only talking about (in)security,right? Do u hv a clue wot an Insurgency(cos dat is wot it has become) means? Am sure d Americans must hv bn incompetent when they were controlling Iraq cos of d no of bombs dat were denoting left-right-centre during dat period? U tink wit d wave of d hand u can defeat an insurgency dat is accomodatd by SOME ppl in an environment nd partly orchestratd by sm power mongers?...so a group of terroists tell d leada of a coun3(yr coun3) to resign, nd u advice d leada to comply. where has dat dat happend anywhere in d world? hw did sm of us become 'fools'? u wud CAPITULATE to a group of Extremists, esp on dis issue nd expect not to be Ridden consequently by all manner of ppl. Sm persons need to seriously get sm educatn....dis time around GEJ shld use evri means available to him to crush dese ppl, nd if any person or group of persons just as much as stands on d way, he shld crush dem along..he shld do dis fast nd damn d consequencies
