taharqa: Cud you be kind enuf to tell us the name and location of this 271MW Plant that d LASG built and that is presently supplying power to d national grid, plz?? You may use @eko ile, @plaindealer, @agbameta, etc, to answer... Thnks you mush

Abeg o, am still waiting for answer o...

agbameta: Must you village flat heads get angry, bitter, hateful and mean spirited over everything?

I was just making a point, 'Bros'... I personali don't like a situation where d crumbs of d kids on d table are given to Pigs..ya dig??

Brimmie: Is this how to defend a cabinet minister extravagance??, to quote the President "no cost is too high to protect government officer". You can see that GEJ did not value the lives of the common people? I could see clearly why this country go broke and never developed. If a President could have this mentality with his animal degree. I weep for Nigeria the way Buhari did.

Agbameta, Dayokanu, Naptu, Gbawe.. Over to you Fellas!!

Plz, stop calling @Naptu's name in associatn with peeps like @Gbawe, @Agbemata and @Dayokanu... That is like HERESIS, almost..

0monnakoda: So that gives you licence to abuse me?
I do not abuse anyone first but I respond directly to your mother and father at home. So be warned.
I told you who built the plant in VERY CLEAR ENGLISH. There is no ambiguity about that if you want to deal in issues fine if you want to exchange abuses with your parent I am also fine with that

I think you shld calmly step aside for now since you hv no real stuff to contribute to my specific equiries. I certainly do not hv d time for small talks...

StarBoard: Hehe.
What won't this aso rock gateman say?

DONKEY, let me refrain the questn again: does that white tin you call a brain undastad d very Article you are commenting on??

StarBoard: More like stew.pidity
It is clearly stated in the constitution what his titles should be as president.
If he is incompetent and cannot handle the duty of commander-in-chief, that is another matter.
There is no escaping that reference.Unless our constitution doesn't mean anything to those who are supposed to defend it.

IJIOT, why can't you take yr time read d Article again..

Symphony007: This changes nothing. Even if they stop parading themselves as a new PDP, the fact is there is still divisions in the party. The court has not and will never tell them to bow before and follow the edicts of tukur and jonathan. So jonathan and his boys can enjoy their symbolic victory, afterwhich go back to the negociation table with aliyu bambagida and the rest..

Very LAME...even though it is coming from a DONKEY like yaself

0monnakoda: cLaim by me. Are you Well? The reason I am talking to you is that you quoted me.So I suggest you GO BACK nd READ what you quoted.

You were d one that 1st quoted me and inserted yourself in a discussion where I specifically askd smone to provide details on his claim. If you didn't know what that claim was, why insert yaself into d discuss??

AES EGBIN

Stakeholders report two versions of the inception
of the project.
10
In the first version, Enron
approached the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN)
and the Lagos State Government with a
proposal to build own and operate an emergency faci
lity, namely a 90 MW barge-mounted diesel plant
to be run on liquid fuel, followed by a permanent f
acility comprising a 560 MW gas-fired plant,--both
under a common PPA. In the second version of the s
tory, the Lagos State Government apparently
drove the process and directly approached Enron for
the two-part project. In both versions,
international competitive bidding (ICB) practices w
ere overlooked and the deal was negotiated within
months. The original power purchase agreement was s
igned in 1999 among the project company, the
Lagos State Government, the Federal Ministry of Pow
er & Steel and NEPA, with the expectation that

10
the first plant would be on-stream by December 1999
. Yinka Folawiyo Power Limited (YFP), a local
Nigerian firm, was also involved at this stage as a
dvisor to Enron, but not a signatory to the PPA.
Due to public pressure, however, this initial deal
was modified, and negotiations would
continue for another six months through to mid-2000
. Major objections were raised about: the lack of
transparent and competitive bidding; the type of fu
el to be used, the fact that the plant would not be
penalized for poor performance; that the project co
mpany would receive excessive contract
termination payments; and that capacity payments we
re deemed too high. Amidst the ongoing
negotiation, the original plan for the land-based 5
60 MW plant was shelved (albeit not dropped). The
major items to be changed involved increasing the i
nitial plant from 90 MW to 270 MW (9 units of 30
MW each gas-fired open cycle) and switching the fue
l from liquid fuel to natural gas, both of which
had the effect of reducing the capacity and energy
charges (with some reports of a reduction of up to
ten times the original charge), with a final invest
ment cost of US$240 million.
11
It was agreed that the capacity charge would be fl
at, indexed to OECD CPI, for the 13.25-year
duration of the contract, which would be backed by
a sovereign guarantee. Capacity charges would be
payable in dollars. There was no separate fuel supp
ly agreement; instead, fuel was to be provided by
NEPA (subsequently PHCN), which would contract it d
irectly from the Nigerian Gas Company.
A little less than a year before Enron filed for b
ankruptcy, the firm sold its shares in two
tranches.
12
In September 2000, Enron sold 30 percent to AES. T
hen in December 2000, the firm sold
the remaining 65 percent and 5 percent respectively
to AES and YFP, which although present since
project inception only became a shareholder in 2000
. Enron did not complete construction, and the
construction contract was transferred to AES Inc Vi
rginia USA, with the plant coming online in May
2001 (Van Meeteren 2005).
Although agreement was reached and the plant has b
een online since 2001, further
negotiations continued with regard to the availabil
ity-deficiency payment as well as the tax exemption
certificate (which remains outstanding). The issues
were ultimately taken to arbitration, and while th
e
arbitration has been concluded, after approximately
five years, the arbitral award is still being awai
ted,
together with a figure for the ultimate cost of the
arbitration (RERA per com 2011). Throughout,
secure fuel supply has been an issue for AES due to
conflict in the Niger Delta, which flared up most
recently in 2008/9, and which impacts on fuel deliv
ery to the plant, located in Lagos.

Oh! Lawd!!! Hehehehehehe.... So na this one una get since? Did you read d article you posted... BUNCH OF SHAMELESS LIARS

0monnakoda: did I say that it was built by Tinubu? I Suggest you go back nd read what I wrote that you just quoted. You can read Yes it is 271MW plant powered by gas supplying the National grid. If it is operating at full capacity.

If Tinubu did not build it, who did na?? Abi, na Fashola build am? I mean, it has to be either of them, right? Abi, is d claim not: a 271MW Power Plant has been built by d Lagos State Govt and is presently supplying power to d National Grid??

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Joker! Humility ko, humidity ni. Running away from his failed duty as Commander in Chief does not suddenly render his performance as COC , remarkable. Under his command Boko boys armed with proverbial catapult are scoring wins all over the place.[/quote]Last I heard, yr Boko Haram brothers hv been running about in the bush like d COWARDS, reduced to eating lizards and inserts, and been chased and mowed down by angry banzokaas of our gallant military whilst coming out intermittedly to kill children and students. I even heard that about a thousand of them hv died like d RATS they are in detention since d beginning of d year.... NO, my Fulani guy: yr brothers are losing woefully like d COWARDS they always were. Shikena..

0monnakoda: It is located in Egbin Lagos State At the Same Site as NEPA> It was built by Enron in Collaboration with Tinubu but it is now known as AES Barge

And, it is a 271MW Plant, built by Tinubu, which presently supplies power to d National Grid, faaaa?? I just want to be clear on d above.... Abeg, tell me more; am all earz...

leighcon: ^^
Defunct Enron power badges at Egbin me thinks, there were legal tussles that lasted till circa 2010. Not sure of details of its operations currently.

Bros, Sorry. I don't undastad anytin bout you just wrote above. Could you plz expantiate on it; actuali, REALI expantiate on it. Thnks

Symphony007: Should i call this one hypocricy or eye service? You don't want to be addressed as commander in chief but you want to be dressed like one with medals on your chest that others normally loose their lives or limbs to wear. Well, that's his buisness.

At least, people won't spend 10 minutes of in a speech at government functions just calling titles.

DONKEY, he wears those paraphinerals as Commander-in-Chief ONLY on Military functions; the only occasion he also directed he could be called the C-in-C...... FRUSTRATION wan kill you, abi? So much so that you can't even read yr 'own' article properly again. #Pity... Ehem? Hv you hear d latest judgement of d Abuja High Court yet?? Your Oga and his 'gang' are in trouble ooo...

See Humility.... Love you, Mr President: 'His Excellency, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria'; And Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces (i no bi Govt official, so d directive no affect mi)

Hehehehehehe .....

agbameta: lol @ village Late comers. Lagos state built the first IPP in Nigeria @ 271MW which is till supplying the useless National grid like your village power plants.

Can any of the villages you just listed guarantee any establishment in their villages uninterrupted powers supply?

Of course not because everything they generate goes into the useless National grid while Lagos keeps every MW generated which makes it possible to supply uninterrupted power supply to state infrastructures and institutions.


There is a huge difference between apples and oranges, but obviously not to village illiterates like you..

Cud you be kind enuf to tell us the name and location of this 217MW Plant that d LASG built and that is presently supplying power to d national grid, plz?? You may use @eko ile, @plaindealer, @agbameta, etc, to answer... Thnks you mush

docadams: May I ask, why? And what did Nigeria almost got back to back?

Are you actuali kidding me with these questns?? That comment was clear enuf; plz, respond to it.

jp philips: The guy is telling you that previous administrations before your confused master have done better in terms of diplomatic relations, as such, your pay master should hush! and get to work

You ought to know by now that I do not suffer FOOOLS lightly...

docadams: There is nothing strategic in being a non permanent member of the SC, especially, when our country is the focus of discussion. By virtue of existing agreement, the seat rotates among West African countries. Arising from the above, no 'force' was needed.
Memory lane is important in order to know the past, assess the present, and synchronize the future.
I strongly believe that, contrary to many of the posts here, Aso rock will not be holding any carnival for this 'achievement'. It is infinitesimal considering where we were before now.

Yea! By 'virtue of an existing agreement, d seat rotates among WA countries'. It didn't seem to rotate now, for d very 1st time in WA's Diplomatic history, seeing that Nigeria got it almost back to back!! I wonder why??.... By d way, you know nothing. There is a reason why those nations seriously vying for a Permanent at UN Security Council hv in d last 10 yrs tried to get into dat council as a non-permanent memba as many times as possible and even try to renew same if possible.....

Eko ile is back! (At least with his real moniker). Yaa!!.... Oh! @topic: how many times wud Fash commission this Big 'Generator' meant for d State Secretariat?? Just asking....

Abagworo: It is a private investment and the credit goes to MAN and whoever granted the waiver. Is it OBJ, Yar'Adua or Jonathan?

It is Aguiyi-Ironsi...

jp philips: can you brief us how that feat you mentioned "back to back" has contributed positively to the welfare of Nigerians?

I shld 'brief' you? Now, Imagine that!!...

docadams: Africa has three representatives in the security council. Before this election Togo, Rwanda and Morocco were Africa's representatives. Nigeria just replaced Togo for the West African slot. My earlier submission that it is a glorified seat still stands especially when compared to our other achievements at the UN.
Be informed that our country representeded Africa at the SC in 66/67 when Africa had only one slot. Nigeria achieved this feat again in 78/79 and 94/95(under Abacha rule). Well, for the uninformed these may appear to be remarkable achievements but are not, relatively.
More importantly, Nigeria chaired the UN anti-apathied committee from 1970 to 1994, has produced the undersecretary general of the UN in the person of Prof Ibrahim Gambari, the executive secretary of the UN/ECA for 14 years in the person of Prof Adebayo Adedeji, president of the 44th session of the UN General Assembly in the person of Gen Joe Garba (rtd).
Be informed that Nigeria's main goal with respect to the security council is not this 'flash in the pan' that is being celebrated but to have a permanent seat. This was clearly stated by Gen Ike Nwachukwu (rtd) in his address to UN General Assembly in 1992.
The various leaders under whom these achievements were made never played domestic politics with them. Not even the military ones. NOT WHEN YOU CLAIM TO BE A LEADER OR HOPE TO BE ONE.

For smone who evidently is drawn to telling his own idea of what Nigeria's Diplomatic History is or isn't, it is amazing that you still haven't Grasp one of d main Strategic reasons Nigeria 'forcefully' wanted to get back to that seat so soon, albeit a Non-permanent one for now!!.... By d way, what again was d purpose of taking us Memory lane??

tomakint: Pls T, refer this thread to the complaints section ASAP, it must hit the FRONTPAGE today or else.......

My Bruv, am browsing with my yeye phone. Can't copy any link with it. Can you do that, plz?

Donmams: GEJ working for where? This steel company is 100% private owned. It is just to score cheap political points that GEJ went to commission a project he has no business with. As usual this gov't continues to lie and deceive. We will not be fooled.

Actuali, I think you are already a FOOOL, guy (I mean am sorry but for a guy who says d FG of a country has 'nothing' to do with d establishment of a multibillion dollar COLD STEEL Cop, its not that hard to think that; besides d fact that the said Cop got its major finance from that Govt's Industrial Bank and made such huge investment cos of d Tariff and other policies instituted in a sector completely unda d perview of d FG of that country); so there wud reali be no reason to foool you any furda... Get it??

Saint Chukz: What is this one saying? The total amount they (ASUU) are demanding for from the FG. Is child's play compared to the amount used in servicing those bunch of Lazy pot-bellied legislators every single year(yes you heard me right, every single year) and this they are even demanding over a period of 4 years. Anyway...i believe ASUU won't back off from their position.

[size=19]OLODO[/size] ... STOP stewing things you know NOTHING about, IGNORAMUS. In other words: learn to Shut that mouth up at times..

Demdem: U know they will do something next year. How are u sure? Can u bet ur ballls on these miserable leaders?
Why haven't they implemented it before now.
Get this straight, ur govt can't be trusted.

So it is only when they 'agree' again to release d #400bn from nx year, that you wud 'trust' them abi?? Or, maybe Govt shld release #1.3trillion for ASUU for d sum bw 2012 to 2015 b4 you can 'trust' them? And, they wud get that whole unbudgeted money from yr 'stickingly rich' father of course.... #DAFTEE

great1: These countries knew quite well that If they put in place laws that guarantee the quality of home made cars, workers rights, and make these cars affordable, automatically, their citizens will patronize them...

Don't you ask yourself why is Ford Sooo Cheap in UK, aswell as vauxhall and Skoda... These are home made brands assembled in the UK, in India, Tata sells cars that cost $1000...

One thing most Nigerians fear about home made cars is its Safety... Do we have strict enforced laws that guarantees
safety of any product in Nigeria
Kudos to Nafdac but dnt forget Dora had to seek the help of international organizations to combat fake drugs....

Our government is taking safety of Nigerians for granted, and that has to stop... And if they dnt do nothing, we'll stop them by any means...... Enough said

You shld learn to be sure of what you are saying b4 making Assertions in public, so that you do not have to come across as subtly changing yr views so soon, K?.... By d way, try to download d new National Automotive Policy, and read it

docadams: Which of my assertions do you have problem with?

The part that was emboldened..

jmaine: He is the irritating troll Eko Ile

Thought as much. The same pattern of fooolishness common to both...
