Ngwakwe: What comes out from Aba will comfortably pay Abia State bills and still have reserve if well managed.

I would prefer Okonjo Iweala to come home and take over from T. A. Orji

agbameta: What is your problem really? What part of the quote above you don't get or can not read and comprehend?

Its the government's job as stated in the quote above to make sure every plane in our airspace is fit to fly, we pay people to stick their noses inside the planes and their engines to make sure they are airworthy.

The plane did not crash because of any Act of God or Natural disaster, it crashed because of human error, it crashed because of lack of proper inspection and oversight.

We don't pay greedy and profit oriented private companies to say to us that their planes are OK, they are not in charge of our regulatory agencies and they don't make any rules, the government does and we pay people to look out for us and make sure we don't fly in aircofins.

agbameta: I'm not interested in your logical and emotional rant.

Associated Airline is not in charge and they can't not make up their own rules and follow when necessary, the minister and her agencies are in charge and with accidents happening and people dying, it means they are not in charge or doing their job.

If they are paying to look after kids and make sure nothing happens to them, but the kids decided to go wild, beat up and injure each other and even dying under your watch, it means you are not doing your job because you are in charge and not the kids.

Get a grip of that simple leadership concept.

agbameta: So, sick patients dying in hospitals now means planes crashing all over the place and Nigerians needlessly dying is no big deal and the folks we put in charge to make sure this doesn't happen must not be held accountable.?

We pay them to make sure airline operators in the country follow stated rules, practices and procedures and if for whatever reason/s they are not following the same rules and procedures, it means people like this ministers are not doing their job, this is elementary and basic common sense.

We put people like her in charge with statutory laws and authority to police airline operators and make sure they follow stated rules and guidelines and with 7 deadly crashes within 2 years, it meas somebody is not doing their job and the buck stops with the person in charge.


Not that I was expecting any kind of sensible and thought provoking reasonings from your type because you people operate in the same mentally corrupt, incompetent and crass circle.

Iolo: While this is the dream....I struggle to see how it would work out...you have soo many state governments that would have to seize to exist if this happens. The best is that they would have to merge with others to stay viable...while this is the way forward for a long lasting peaceful Nigerian state, there's going to be too much opposition to this idea...

It's possible but would be a really slow process.

donphilopus: hmm, so you mean you didn't vote for any Presidential Candidate in 2011?

BayoAA: I will like to shed some light on this issue. I am directly involved in all these projects (Except Geregu) from inception to their present stages.

Firstly, The only person that does not deserve any credit per power projects is Yar Adua for forestalling these project for over 2 years.

Federal Power projects in Nigeria including NIPP is a brainchild of OBJ. He started all the phase one projects and completed them. This include Olorunsogo Phase I, Omotosho Phase I, Geregu 1. Upon seeing the progress of these projects he devised the NIPP Fast Track projects which are supposed to be completted as fast track project .....meaning as soon as possible to arrest power issue in Nigeria. The plant under this fast track project are Egbema, Gbarain, Calabar, Ihovbor (Benin), Sapele.
Omoku and Alaoji Plants were to compliment the fast track plants while Omotosho and Olorunsogo which were financed partly by the Chinese Government through the Chinese companies that built these plants is another way to built upon the fast track projects

Contracts were signed in 2006 for the fast track projects and Omoku and Alaoji Plant
Although contracts were signed in 2006, what we need to understand is that Turbines are not Tiger generators that you can just go and buy in the shop. Turbines are manufactured base on contract and order...meaning it is after signing the contract that Turbines will be manufactured. Can you imagine how long this will take. Months!!!! We are taking of about over 100000+ precision parts and 300Tonne (300000kg) of materials. All to be manufactured and coupled together.

By the time the machines were shipped to Nigeria, OBJ is almost a "Gonner" even though he tried to fight for a 3rd term.

When Yar Adua came to power, instead of him to continue this project, he started his probes which left all these machines in the port without proper preservation for over 2 years. Some were rotten (Especially the sensitive control systems and electrical panels) while some were even sold by some Nigerian officials.

GEJ moved in swiftly to arrest the power problem in Nigeria by releasing fund to complete these projects. He desErves the Kudo for the continuity in these projects and for funding it after the issues caused by Yar Adua's govt.

The contract for Omotosho II and Olorunsogo II were signed (MOU) in 2007.

Billyonaire: Rumor has it that you are the now forcefully retired Eko Ile, the lastma official. Is it true ?
