@Richyblack,

The desire and concrete steps taken to annihilate the people on their birth day was summarily destroyed through sheer ingenuity and military prowess. The best you can now hope for is that time will destory them? Keep on dreaming.

For a moment, I thought it was Ahmadinajad that was speaking

@Blatant,

My point? Do you not think Palestinians have reasons to be aggrieved? And these evils against are still being continually perpetrated

The land in question is in dispute, and in a time of war declared not by the Isrealis, anything that needs to be done will be done to gain a military advantage. Do you know what the Nigeiran State did to win the Biafran war?

and by the way, the Reporter provided a human angle story to the Palestinian that was killed and the Isrealis only got a pasing mention. This is how they manipulate people like you into accepting the victim mentality by the Arabs. The victim here is Isreal who is only trying to survive in the midst of hostile neighbours. Talk about "He prepared a table for me in the midst of mine enemies."

@Blatant,

Exactly what is your point?

@topic,

Good move. The next step is to appoint reputable ex-cops to oversee and ensure that the money is remitted to the NPF. I move the motion to appoint Tafa Balogun as the executor in thief chief of this tax funds.

@Tornadoz,

For those congratulating Israel maybe you should have offered your towns and villages when the world was looking for a place for Jews. Most people don't know Kenya or Uganda was suggested at the time as a homeland for these people. Imagine what east Africa would have been now if Jews were given a homeland there.

What's your point? People suggests difernt things at various times. Naija was menat to be called Niger Area until Nigeria was adopted. It only makes sense that such suggestion will be rejected on the basis that they are not their patriachial homeland. The place we call West bank today was actually the home of Abraham and Isaac.

A brief search on google tells me the writer of the above article "Charles Krauthammer" is a despised neocon and racist. This man is a mouth piece of the Jewish people and was rewarded with The Guardian of Zion Award. (The Guardian of Zion Award is an annual award given since 1997 to Jews who have been supportive of the State of Israel.) This is hardly a man you could rely on for fairness.

Now you want to focus on the person and not the issues he raised. There is nothing wrong in being recognised by people who recognise your work is in their interest. I'm not sure now if it was a top Al'Quaeda or Iranian official who publicly confessed his love for Obama. Does that make Obama an Apologist for them?

Start your research from this Jewish website:http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/884358.html

Common, i thought you'd do better than that. Discrimination about land redistribution isn't racism when considering the fact that the land was bought enmasse so as to provide a resting place for Jews. Would you call it racism also if as an African I go there and they reject my application to buy a piece of the land? I know a very outspoken ministry in support of the Jews here who only managed to buy some land there only after scores of years when they started the application. Is that racism too?

Maybe the UN now realize they created a beast that is out of control.

The same people that the UN left to be slaughtered by the Arab Armies the same day they became an independent nation by the UN law? Who really is the beast? Can you imagine having a baby and not defending the baby against attackers the same day when the baby was born. I really don't understand how you keep changing the goal posts. The Arabs claim their grouse is because of the occupied territories. The undeniable fact as claimed by the article above is this: "But in 1948, there were no "occupied territories." Nor in 1967 when Egypt, Syria and Jordan joined together in a second war of annihilation against Israel. Look at Gaza today. No Israeli occupation, no settlements, not a single Jew left. The Palestinian response? Unremitting rocket fire killing and maiming Israeli civilians. The declared casus belli of the Palestinian government in Gaza behind these rockets? The very existence of a Jewish state."

Is Gaza a nation?

Well, it is a self-governing area populated by people who regard themselves as nationals of a Palestinian State. So what is it then?

No. Give the Palestinians their freedom and the rockets would stop.

The way the rockets stopped in 1948! And the way it ceased when they had complete control of Gaza!? Yeah Right!

If these strikes are so precise how come the ratio is 10:1 or the Jewish killing machine can't control their orgy of violence?

So what should the ration be, 1:1? How would you consider the killings justifiable? By killing in proportion to the population or just one life to one life. If we are considering the proportion, we might as well consider the population ratio of the Arabs to the Isrealis when they attacked in 1948. This was 650,000 Jews to 40 million Arabs. This means the Isrealis should kill at least 60 Arabs to every Jew killed. The Isrealis need to double their efforts to achieve this feat.

Stop gloating because Iran would soon have that single bomb you proudly mentioned above. Israel would have to sit with the Arabs soon or else.

So you agree that Iran is developing the weapon. Why shouldn't their be a pre-emptive strike by the US and Isreal to prevent that happening? Isreal has already dealt with Iraq and Syria in this regard, Iran is absolutely next. Besides, have you read about the War Games with the scenario of a nuclear war between Isreal and Iran? Well, while Isreal will be seriously wounded, Iran will be annihilated, not just by the Jewish State, but with the help of the US as recently admitted by Clinton and indirectly by Obama. Check this out: [url]http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3486011,00.html[/url] So please permit me to continue gloating as you said.

Lastly Tayo, do you think Steven Spielberg look middle eastern?
You must know if Jews were original middle eastern settlers they would look Middle Eastern. You don't need a degree in genetics to know this. If they look European, dress like Europeans, emigrated from Europe then of course they must be Europeans.

A Jew is not so much as one born a Jew, there are ways of becoming one apart from birth. Besides, the Jews are not just those who emigrated back into that land, but include those who never left through captivity.

If America likes Jews so much let them calve out a homeland for Jews in the States.

The Arabs should lead by example. If they love the Palestinians so much why don't they carve out a significant portion of their homland for them and not cram them into refugee camps as they now do. This is only fair considering the fact that they told the Palestinians to leave before the 1948 war of annihilation against Isreal which they lost.

@Blatant,

I have not succumbed to anything. I am not saying that I know what went on in the 1940s but what I see going on now is acute injustice to the Palestinian people. THEY ARE ALSO HUMAN BEINGS.

As long as Israel continues grabbing land on a weekly/monthly basis, the Palestinians and their unborn generations will always feel aggrieved. How would you feel if some people were to come to your village and disperse your family to places where they have no homes and they become refugees? They will become homeless, jobless and they'll feel there's not much to live for.

If you make people feel there's not much to live for, they wont mind killing and dying.

You cannot rightly judge this situation without a sense of history. What land has Isreal grabbed recently if I may ask? For your information, they recently gave up Gaza, and it became a launching pad for more rockets into Isreal. The lands they actually grabbed were done when Isreal was attacked. In my estimation, that is fair game. If you attack me to annihilate and take my land, it is only fair for me to do same to you while defending myself.

@Tornadoz,

The Jews that live in other Arab countries live comfortably too. There are Jews in Syria, Iran etc. Why have these Jews not emigrated to Israel?

What is the percentage of these to the population? How many Jews or christians live in Saudi Arabia with the rights and opportunities to worship in public as they please? But the real question is this: On what basis do you refer to the Jews as racist? Are those any different from what is evident in every society?

There's bound to be enmity between neighbors. Check out the Tutsis and the Hutus, the Modakekes, the Kurds and Turks etc.

So why did you single out the Jews as being the cause of the conflicts? The jews did not attack anybody in 1948 did they? How many times has Isreal attacked Egypt and Jordan since they recognised Isreal's right to exist? As the Writer above said "Israel's crime is not its policies but its insistence on living."

No other country attended because Israel is a fraud state,  a state created through terror.

Isreal was created by the UN. That they have no backbone to stand on the principle which they backed those years only shows their cowardice.

If the Arabs withheld their oil from the rest of the world will they (Arabs) survive?

Not as much as other nations would for that same period. Besides, they have done it before and it remains a manipulating tool in their hands today.

Theirs no nation bombing Israel. A few radical elements here throws home made bomb at Israel and Israel responds with latest American made B52's, its sickening.

No nation bombing Isreal? Are you for real? What do you want Isreal to do? Aim their own katyusha rockets back at Gaza? So if an Armed Robber attacks you with a knife, you will only attack him back with the same knife while ignoring the AK-47 you possess. The B52's help to minimise civilian casualties of their enemies by precision strikes. They could as well just send a single bomb that will annihilate those Palestinians. Its fair game in a war whose aim on one side is actually annihilation.

Since the intifada, the ratio is 10:1 in favor of Israel. The Jewish killing machine is inferior only to the US army.

This is all thanks to their hostile neighbours who want them driven to the sea.

PS:
Hamas control's Gaza. Am sure you meant Fatah controls West bank. There are no known reports of rockets being fired from the west bank.

Thanks for the correction. I meant to refer to Hamas and Gaza.

@Blatant,

Your response suggests you have succumbed to the Mooslim-Arab propaganda that this is about land. Did you notice this statement in the write-up:  "But in 1948, there were no "occupied territories." Nor in 1967 when Egypt, Syria and Jordan joined together in a second war of annihilation against Israel. Look at Gaza today. No Israeli occupation, no settlements, not a single Jew left. The Palestinian response? Unremitting rocket fire killing and maiming Israeli civilians. The declared casus belli of the Palestinian government in Gaza behind these rockets? The very existence of a Jewish state."

@Tornadoz,

Sickening to read  American media's blatant cheer leading of  racist  Israel's 60th birthday party.

Isreal racist? 20% of the Isreali population are Arabs, and they live in comfort with no discrimination against their religion or way of life. What other Arab country in the Middle East can boast of such?

Since the creation of the Jewish state, the middle east has known nothing but war.

The Middle East has never known peace since Biblical times. Besides, what role did Isreal play in the enmity that exists between the Persians, Sunnis and Shias?

The only people happy at Israel's 60th birthday are the Jews and Americans.

This Nigerian is happy about the birthday and so are millions of Christians around the world.

No European, African or Asian president attended Israel's birthday party except America's, does this not tell us something?

It tells me that the fear of the Arabs and the repercussion of their oil being withheld has cowered the world into submission. Glad to know that at least 2 nations have the backbone to stand up against them.

For 60yrs the world has been kissing Jewish asses for what Hitler did to them, when is this guilt going to end.

That is absolutely untrue. Infact, it is the other way round. How many nations will not go to war if another nation keeps bombing them everyday? Isreal continues to accomodate the barrage of rockets from Hezbollah-controlled West Bank, and they have not retaliated in full force because the world keeps restraining them. So who is controling who?

I don't subscribe to this notion but most people now think Hitler was right in dealing with the Jews

. The Jews were just his first target. He would have eventually targetted Africans. He believed in preserving the best species alive, which was no other than the blue eyed, tall Germans. He would eventually have targetted, short people, obese people etc. How some people would try to justify this act of evil is beyond my comprehension. In any case, I'm glad you do not subscribe to it.

If Hitler had succeeded we won't have the problem we now have. The Jews are lepers to any society they live in. Even God scattered the Jews knowing these people can be evil.

So the Jews are the root of the world's problems? The Jews created the hatred between the Shias and Sunnis? The Jews are responsible for the religious persecution we face in Naija? The Jews are the cause of the high gas prices? It is this same thinking and talk over the years that led to the holocaust. This reminds me of what a German General said at the Nuremberg Trials regarding how the holocaust came about. He said: "I am of the opinion that when for years, for decades, the doctrine is preached that Jews are not even human, such an outcome is inevitable." The Church and I-slam are both guilty of this. The Great Prophet referd to Jews as Pigs.

Do you know what God said about those who persecute the Jews? Zechariah 1: 14 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. 15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction. While God may have punished them for their sins, the nations took it too far, and they will be severely judged. I could show you what their judgment will be, but I'm careful not to make this too much of a religious thing.

As decent people we should not be saying happy birthday to this killers rather we should wipe our asses with the Jewish flag.

The UN created the nation by a majority vote. The nation was attacked by its neighbours on Day 1 and lost 10% of its population. Isreal has only defended itself since it was born and yet you call them killers? What then do you call the Mooslim-Arab neighbours? Angels?

Anyway I don't hate Jews or Americans but have a rabid hatred  for the assholes that rule both countries.

I have a hard time believeing this considering the fact that you will rather wipe your ass with the flag that represents them. I can understand you hating Bush, but Olmert? What has he done to you?

@topic,

Is that December 2007 or 2008?!

The article below is culled from the Washington Post. The author is Charles Krauthammer. I will provide the link but I think you will need to register with them to view it.

Before sending Lewis and Clark west, Thomas Jefferson dispatched Meriwether Lewis to Philadelphia to see Benjamin Rush. The eminent doctor prepared a series of scientific questions for the expedition to answer. Among them, writes Stephen Ambrose: "What Affinity between their [the Indians'] religious Ceremonies & those of the Jews?" Jefferson and Lewis, like many of their day and ours, were fascinated by the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel and thought they might be out there on the Great Plains.

They weren't. They aren't anywhere. Their disappearance into the mists of history since their exile from Israel in 722 B.C. is no mystery. It is the norm, the rule for every ancient people defeated, destroyed, scattered and exiled.

With one exception, a miraculous story of redemption and return, after not a century or two, but 2,000 years. Remarkably, that miracle occurred in our time. This week marks its 60th anniversary: the return and restoration of the remaining two tribes of Israel -- Judah and Benjamin, later known as the Jews -- to their ancient homeland.

Besides restoring Jewish sovereignty, the establishment of the State of Israel embodied many subsidiary miracles, from the creation of the first Jewish army since Roman times to the only recorded instance of the resurrection of a dead language -- Hebrew, now the daily tongue of a vibrant nation of 7 million. As historian Barbara Tuchman once wrote, Israel is "the only nation in the world that is governing itself in the same territory, under the same name, and with the same religion and same language as it did 3,000 years ago."

During its early years, Israel was often spoken of in such romantic terms. Today, such talk is considered naive, anachronistic, even insensitive, nothing more than Zionist myth designed to hide the true story, i.e., the Palestinian narrative of dispossession.

Not so. Palestinian suffering is, of course, real and heart-wrenching, but what the Arab narrative deliberately distorts is the cause of its own tragedy: the folly of its own fanatical leadership -- from Haj Amin al-Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem (Nazi collaborator, who spent World War II in Berlin), to Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser to Yasser Arafat to Hamas of today -- that repeatedly chose war rather than compromise and conciliation.

Palestinian dispossession is a direct result of the Arab rejection, then and now, of a Jewish state of any size on any part of the vast lands the Arabs claim as their exclusive patrimony. That was the cause of the war 60 years ago that, in turn, caused the refugee problem. And it remains the cause of war today.

Six months before Israel's birth, the United Nations had decided by a two-thirds majority that the only just solution to the British departure from Palestine would be the establishment of a Jewish state and an Arab state side by side. The undeniable fact remains: The Jews accepted that compromise; the Arabs rejected it.

With a vengeance. On the day the British pulled down their flag, Israel was invaded by Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Transjordan and Iraq -- 650,000 Jews against 40 million Arabs.

Israel prevailed, another miracle. But at a very high cost -- not just to the Palestinians displaced as a result of a war designed to extinguish Israel at birth, but also to the Israelis, whose war losses were staggering: 6,373 dead. One percent of the population. In American terms, it would take 35 Vietnam memorials to encompass such a monumental loss of life.

You rarely hear about Israel's terrible suffering in that 1948-49 war. You hear only the Palestinian side. Today, in the same vein, you hear that Israeli settlements and checkpoints and occupation are the continuing root causes of terrorism and instability in the region.

But in 1948, there were no "occupied territories." Nor in 1967 when Egypt, Syria and Jordan joined together in a second war of annihilation against Israel.

Look at Gaza today. No Israeli occupation, no settlements, not a single Jew left. The Palestinian response? Unremitting rocket fire killing and maiming Israeli civilians. The declared casus belli of the Palestinian government in Gaza behind these rockets? The very existence of a Jewish state.

One constantly hears about the disabling complexity of the Arab-Israeli dispute. Complex it is, but the root cause is not. Israel's crime is not its policies but its insistence on living. On the day the Arabs -- and the Palestinians in particular -- make a collective decision to accept the Jewish state, there will be peace, as Israel proved with its treaties with Egypt and Jordan. Until that day, there will be nothing but war. And every "peace process," however cynical or well meaning, will come to nothing.

@topic,

He particularly called on the Assistant Inspector-General, Surveillance, Mr. Israel Ajao, to ensure that all parts of the country were well monitored.

I could not stop laughing when I read the statement in bold. The same Police Force that can not monitor and prevent armed robbers is the one being called upon to monitor and prevent Al Quaeda from doing what they know to do best - steal, kill and destroy?

We can only pray that this report is false, otherwise, each man will just have to pray that they are not where Al Quaeda targets.

Where's the picture?

@topic,

How can people declare that a State-issued driver's licences should only be valid for use on State roads? I think the best way to let such people see the foolishness in their thinking is to apply the same logic to other areas. In this case, let us apply it to the educational sector.

If we must go by that same logic, graduates from any University will only be allowed to work in that State with their certificates. No out-of-State certificates will be honoured becuase the education wasn't received within the State borders or in a Federal University. By that same logic, only Graduates from Federal Universities would qualify to work in any State of their choice. Can you guys begin to see the futility of that logic?

State issued driver's license is the best way to go. All the FRSC need do is to set the terms and conditions that must be met by each State. Each State will then have the flexibility to address the unique driving conditions of the State to the Driver's learning experience without compromising the Federal requirement. Driving in Abuja and Lagos are two different ball games altogether and each State will know how to address its own unique needs.

This is good news. We finally hear the report of a prominent Politician dying in Nigeria at a full and ripe old age without any assassination complicity. May such trend continue o.

@RichyBlack,

Racism is still very much alive in America, even though some fools think otherwise.

Racism is alive and well in America no doubt. However, I have personally been more racially discriminated against by Blacks than Whites. And in my opinion, Blacks are more racist than Whites.

@topic,

I don't know how else to describe this story other than tragic. I do feel so sorry for the wife-to-be and I sympathise with her for the loss.

While I do understand that she will never accept the judgment, I really think the Judge did the right thing by giving the Cops the benefit of the doubt. Apart from the conflicting stories by the Prosecution Witnesses, the Cops clearly said they identified themselves to the victim but he never heeded their call. The cops are really within the bounds of the law when someone attacks them with a car. This is clearly what they felt happened, and reports indicate that one of the officers was actually hit by the car.

Again, there is no winners in this situation, even though lessons can be learnt.

And by the way, spin Doctors who are making a case for racial prejudice here need to get thei heads examined. As indicated already, 2 of the cops were actually black men. Must everything be iterpreted through the prism of race?

@topic,

I bet the FRSC Commader interpretes the word "Federal" in the Federal Republic of Nigeria to mean that the Federal Goverment must control everything.

Are we not supposed to be a Federation? Why should they impound the vehicles of those who travel inter-state because they do not have Federal License? Does that mean a valid Driver who visits Naija can not drive on our roads until he obtains a Driver's license. Which kain people be this sef?

@topic,

Let me suggest a solution to this scarcity by employing the same "logic" presented by Afam to solve the incessant power supply in Nigeria.

According to Afam, "If possible, all heavy duty appliances and machinery should be disconnected from the national grid for now until such a time when PHCN can provide for such heavy duty users. A situation whereby all homes and offices can enjoy steady power supply with basic appliances like TVs, lights, fans, fridges is certainly better than one where only a few people enjoy steady power supply just because a few companies or heavy energy users are making use of energy meant for the vast majority of Nigerians that are in dire need of regular power supply."

To apply Afam's logic to this situation, all we need do is have the govt ensure that no one is allowed to eat more than one tin of rice per day. Infact, the govt must send monitors to every home to ensure that everyone follows this rule. In the mean time, all mamaputs must be asked to stop cooking rice pending the time that the govt can provide enough rice to meet the population's demand. To reduce the demand for more rice, no one must be involved in laborious activities, and no one must do any exercises becuase such actions will burn more energy which will have to be replinished by the dwindling rice reserves of the country.

Now can anyone better this "logic" coming from the mind (not the inbox this time) of nairaland's very own Afam!

@doyin13,

I am beginning to wonder whether your small govt. propositions derive from an innate miserliness.

Believe me, I am not in any way miserly. I give a significant percentage of my income to charitable organizations every year. My problem with the govt is simply this. Why should someone else be using my money to pose as "Mr Nice Guy?" Shouldn't I have the sole prerogative to decide to whom I want to be charitable? Why should I be penalised for hard work and resourcefulness to pay lazy people who have the same opportunities and abilities like I do, but would rather depend on the govt? Why should I be paying for another man's pension when I do not receive any even though we both laboured in the same economy?

Haba. . . .you no wan pay a single kobo in tax if you can help it

I have no choice but to pay taxes. Falure to do so will make me an outlaw. I am for fiscal responsibility and management. While most Americans are spending less to match their income, the govt, usually Democrats (better name is taxocrats) would rather tax us higher to meet their unsatiable spending appetite. Can't they spend within their means too?

Besides, I believe the govt's work should be limited to governance. Anything beside that should be left in the hands of the citizens. If all they the govt does is governance, we will most likely have to pay about 1/1oth of what we now pay in taxes.

@Afam,

Well, you apologized not because you did anything wrong but because you didn't want me to use "it" as an excuse to insult anyone?

Go back and learn how to read. Or is your problem not understanding what you read? I never said what you are attributing to me here. Again, you prove yourself the liar that you are.

Now, you have come out in your pure form, a coward and a liar, even in the face of minor issues you show your cowardice without shame.

See person wey lie say govt have estimate wey no exist dey call another person liar. i have proven here that you are a liar because there is no estimate. Please prove me a liar here by showing me where I insulted you prior to my apology.

You have been asking questions that have not been answered abi? Maybe you will soon ask me how to train your child since you will always bring in any parameter to divert attention from the simple issue of energy efficiency as it relates to reducing the power/energy need of Nigerians.

You have brought my family again into this. It is obvious you have no affinity for decency and truth. I will not engage in this with you.

You are really disgusting and know no shame, you are long gone trust me in your narrow mindedness.

Narrow mindedness? I laugh tire. See the idiot who thinks Naija's power problem is solely hinged upon lack of conservation of energy calling someone narrow-minded. abeg, carry your inverters go Alaba. maybe you will get audience there gullible enough to swallow your ignorance.

Good luck as you continue to swim in the ocean of ignorance.

See this olodo who bought a Chemical engineering certificate from a 419 school calling someone ignorant. Please go on to alaba and enlightene your audience there how they can solve PHCN's inefficieny through managing their darkness.

@Afam,

It was programmed from day 1 Tayo-D posted his first response with some personal attacks which I cautioned him against (he apologized even though I knew he was lying as that was his style, leave the issue and divert attention to personalities).

Again making remarks that have no factual basis. I apologised not because I abused you, but so that you do not use the opportunity of feigning an offence to not defend your submissions with facts. Kindly show us where I first abused you on this thread. Please don't deflect this as you always deflect every request made to you for facts.

Now, it is business as usual and he will only be exposed yet again as someone that claims to know what he does not know.

Oh my goodness. This is getting amusing. I can't wait for an inverter peddler to teach me about power planning, genration, transmission and distribution.

I am used to his likes and will respond to every single post in kind and in the process expose his shallow thinking.

What have you responded to in kind. Please start with the environmental effects of the energy efficient bulbs you are advocating. I even asked you to compare the cost of iverters in every household to what PHCN needs to revive the power sector, but no show as usual.

Transmission design engineer talking nonsense on generation, little wonder people look down on certificates from Nigerian universities.

Tell me how many projects on generation that you have worked on and i'll tell you mine. By the way, the power you genrate, how do you get them into the homes? This is why I said you are not dealing with this issue holistically, but from the narrow prism of ignorance.

Here is on of my earlier entries, kindly attend to it. How long do you think it will take to build adequate generating capacity, provide transmission facilities, establish requred substations, and install the necessary distribution structures? Do you have facts and figures of these? Better still, do you know how long it takes to design and build one?

@doyin13,

I was beginning to wonder when this argument would degenerate into a slanging match

As an ardent believer in the potential of humans, I try to believe that this guy can be made to see reason, but it is obvious that he would rather maintain his stupidity and enjoy enlightenement.

Afam will always have a fit whenver he is intellectually scrutinized. Can you imagine him saying govt should punish us for the lawful energy we use and pay for? We should shut down all our industries and seat at home to watch the PHCN wonder of providing us with power from our light bulb. And to add it all up, he ends up abusing everyone who differs with him on issues. Same old, same old nairaland idiot at the pinnacle of his idiocity.

@Afam,

You have attended to all I wrote point by point without even understanding what I wrote, isn't that a stupid thing to do?

Stupid idiot. You are the one that has no clue what you are writing. First refering to an unexisting estimate, then telling us to basically shut down all our industries before we can enjoy steady power. Olodo.

Herein lies the problem Mr Transmission Line Design Engineer, your task is about transmission, not generation and I am sure this should be crystal clear to you unless you don't understand your job title.

So, try to understand what your job is and what it entails before you start shifting the goal post to suit your low level of understanding of the issues.

How many times will one deal with people that claim to be this and that when they are lacking in knowledge they are supposed to have?

You transmit what has been generated boy! My interest is in implementing policies that will reduce our energy need which will be easier, faster and cheaper to generate.

You will soon go round the bend on this one trust me.

Olodo. You are like saying someone who is an Architect should not know anything about structural engineering, even if he is not the professional engineer, he knows more about the profession than an Alab peddler of inverters. I work in collaboration with Planners, Engineers, Designers and basically all the professionals within the power industry. Please tell us what qualifies you to make such bold and uninformed recommendation to eliminate power flunctuation in naija. Don't tell me it is because you push inverters around o.

Privatize PHCN? Sell PHCN? Maybe to the likes of Enron abi? Guy, your problem is a comprehension limited one and only you can help yourself.

it was people like you who claimed NITEL must also remain in the hands of the govt. See what happend whn the telecommunication sector was privatised. But of course, obvious facts cannot knock your senses back in line from that delusional state you are in.

@Afam,

It is a pity that you are still hung on your "I sabi pass you mentality"

It's not just a mentality thing. It's a fact, and I'm not bragging, but reporting. You have proven yourself to have no clue of what you are talking about, and instead of accepting that your article is based on a lie, you begin to foam from both sides of your mouth.

The content reproduced above summarizes my post and if you cannot comprehend it sorry.

I comprehend it quite alright. It is nothing but hogwash. You are proposing a solution when you have no facts. How stupid is that? Do you know what the govt is thinking? If you do, please provide us with the facts (I'm sure you hate that word -facts by now).

I am shocked to know that a married man like you can openly display your lack of comprehension of very clear statements on a public forum like this. Do you advice your wife or child at all? If yes I hope it is not the same level of stupidity you display because it will be disastrous.

Now you are going to another low point of getting my family involved with your folly. Desist from it now. I will not grant you the power to drag me into the shit-hole you have wallowed in all your life by reciprocating the same way.

It is still very glaring that the real meaning of % is lost to you. I never stated any figures yet you accused me of fabricating some, a typical lie you have lived with all your life, lying against someone when you are done exposing your high level of ignorance.

You never stated any figures? Did you come up with the title of this article or did someone send it to your infamous "Inbox"? How can you accuse the govt of wrong estimate when there is no estimate? Is this how you make up cases against people and judge them guilty in advance of an action they never took? Your head don wowo no be small.

Yet, you are busy looking for figures. Little wonder they say that even if you take a pig to the US it will still remain a pig.

An idiot talked about an estimate and yet has no figures. It is now obvious that your reign as the nairaland idiot will know no end.

Without any energy efficiency policy in place any calculations (ANY as in ANY) done will be based on the current energy inefficient products everywhere.

See this mumu talking about energy policy. The mumu wants naija to shut down all its industries as a means of energy efficiency. And by the way, energy conservation is different from energy efficiency - go figure.

With an energy efficiency policy in place you will surely get a much reduced energy need because the calculations will be based on energy efficient products that take just 70% less energy to do the same work (this is common sense but as they say common sense is not common).

Yourroyal dumbness. Have you taken into consideration the pollution that will be caused by these so-called efficient light bulbs you are talking about? Teel me, how will naija deal with the mercury fallout from those? What is the recycling policy or culture in naija? Are all this considered before making such recommendation?

Let me know when you have any genuine quarrel with my article based on the following facts.

Time and again, I responded to your article and responses line by line, and if you feel you know what you are talking about, go respond to them with facts this time o.

1. Presently, there is no energy efficiency policy in place in Nigeria

The economics will naturally dictate that. The countries advocating such today do so primarily not to spare the blushes of their comatose power generating companies, but to eliminate the country's negative effect on the environment.

2. Based on 1 above we will be trying to generate energy that could be reduced if an energy efficiency policy were to be in place

Stupid idiot. Energy is meant to be available in excess of need. There is something called redundancy in design of power generation and transmission. The energy needs of a developing country is always increasing irrespective of conservation.

3. With a reduced energy need based on energy efficient products it will be cheaper, faster and easier for the government to generate the much needed energy.

The consumer is not the problem of PHCN. Let them deregulate the power sector today and you will see how steady our power will be in a few years. The problem is not the load, it is the unavailablity of power. When are you going to figure that out?

Stick to the issues on ground, don't try to impress anyone as you have done enough already on issues pertaining to US, The Great Religion, Religion etc and from all indications you have often been proved wrong in majority of the issues you dabble into.

Again making categorical statement that are not based on facts. I have attended to all you wrote point by point and you are yet to tackle none of mine.

Please start with the pros and cons of using the efficient light bulbs you are advocating. Maybe then your eyes will open to see the light.

NB: This discussion forum can never be a substitute for real education. If you are not clear on anything do yourself a favor and try to learn what you do not understand. Being wrong and bragging about it without knowing simply because you assume you know what you are talking about is bad.

My guy, I'm a Transmission Line Design Engineer. I am not bragging but reporting facts. You have no clue what you are talking about and want to appear like an expert. When you have done your homework, come back and discuss these issues.
