PoliticsRe: Presidency Reaches Out To Amaechi, Nyako, Others by theoctopus: 3:47pm On Nov 28, 2013
Btruth: I told you guys long ago that Jona is weak.
- he's clueless
- cannot make decision on his own
- don't know when to play the game of politics
- shouldn't have allowed his wife to mingle with the affairs of Rivers state.
- shouldn't have allowed the like of Akpabio, Jang to be his advisers. Akpabio, Jang plus Uduagah cannot stand Rotimi Ameechi
- should have listened when the majority in the PDP decides that they don't want Bamanga Tukur as their leader
- shouldn't be rubbing corruption on the head as in the case of Stella Oduah & others
- and to be honest, I don't think he needs people like Anineh, Doyin Okpe and some time waster hanging around him
- and finally, he should behave like a man and deal with reality. The reality is that those G7 governors are gone, and others will soon follow, but if he likes, he is welcome to APC too, he can come and re-run for the governorship seat in Bayelsa, since his wife likes power...........lol.

Loser!

lookmangiw: the presidency got the calculations all wrong, this governors don't have anything at stake. come 2015, they are not seeking for re-election, so they have nothing to lose. but the presidency have got a lot to lose.
GEJ didnt win in five of those states in 2011, Nothing will change in 2015 as APC will also present a core northerner as presidential candidate. Rivers votes will not change in 2015. Its all noise making from those governors. Lamido knows that his best bet will be to finally support GEJ in 2015 and then have a better shot in 2019.

nuclearboy: horrific and daft timing - a bit more quiet would have broken their ranks but in dis one stupid stroke, you have given them reason to get angry and continue fighting.

abacha lost against these people! point is where do you want to find qualified manpower to fill those spaces? or can a B.Sc holder lecture 400 level students? if the medical lecturers refuse to go back, is it new graduates that will handle medical classes?

often times, it seems to me that the people advising GEJ are actually planning for his downfall! because when the lecturers get angry and refuse, he will (like npdp) start calling them back for meetings and further lose respect!

the man has totally demystified the office of the president
We know that for people like you, the strike is a political capital to further your "bring Nigeria down" campaign. Nothing new there. grin

Anyway, I have stated before that this charade called privatization will not solve any problem. I forsee a situation where government will end up revoking licences as a lot of these operators are clueless as to how to go about the issues.

The best approach to this power problem is to allow modular plants strategically installed in local government areas, evacuate and distribute within the locality.
Shut up my friend! GO and read your books. You people know how to talk rubbish online. DId they not say the same thing about Telecoms? Yeye ignoramus commenting trash! grin grin grin
PoliticsRe: Electricity: New Owners Complain Of ‘overwhelming’ Problems by theoctopus: 12:01am On Nov 28, 2013
Gbawe: They are now complaining. Only in Nigeria. Did these shallow and opportunist profiteers, with nil power sector knowledge, not do their feasibility study to see what they are getting into? Wait, I forget it was AGIPs, oligarchs and callous profit-seekers who won ' transparent bids' for conceded power Stations and utilities.

I stand vindicated. Anyone can check the archives to see I talked of the danger of how "pseudo-privatisation" may be all GEJ will deliver given the ultra-corrupt and amoral "awon boyz" government he leads that is midwifing the "privatisation" of our power sector. Everyone heard "privatisation" and the premature jubilation began. We all forget that numerous evidence, far too many to count, show that the current PDP government , just like others before it, is the sort to cynically bastardize and ruin processes by putting personal aggrandizement above everything else . This is why every institution tha should be independent in Nigeria today remains heavily compromised and unable to delivey.

What, as I argued in the past, was wrong with giving, as first line solution in a true federalism, Nigerian States the freedom to device their own electrification solution As Fashola, Amaechi and other serious Governors demanded? Instead we had Abdusalami, a soldier turned Politician, and his rapacious layman sort 'winning' bids all over the place. Not good at all. It was always going to end in tears. Nigerians, enjoy your "privatisation". You deserve it for thinking thieves could care about you when their actions show they live to fleece you. I sincerely hope the "privatisation" of the power sector works for Nigeria but excuse me for being cynical.
Hope you know you have a serious problem. You are always making a fool of yourself at your old age. Nobody needs your tears. No one expected the companies to have it easy, even for the first 2 years. You are too quick to open your mouth and spill garbage. Just shut your trap!

Festus Keyamo, a civil rights activist and personal attorney to Mr. Dokubo confirmed his release to Saharareporters.
Dokubo, who once bragged openly that his arrest will lead to the demise of Nigeria spent 36 hours with the Beninoise gendarmes before his release around 1 AM Nigerian time today.

Get it into your block head. There is no missing 500 billion! The only thing missing are the brains of the foolish propaganda press trying to spread falsehood. The NASS has since left that claim because it was a false claim. There is no missing 500 billion. You think 500 billion is something you put into a ghana must go bag and just put in the back of your boot?

donroxy: When U go Into the creeks and see the kinda Life people Live, U would know it really worth airing on CNN/BBC , If somebody actually cares ,it might not have been shown !!!


I won't even say the Foreign Media exaggerates the sh.its cuz our government watches this media everyday and they aint say No ...... Who give the Foreign Media access to the clips in the first instance ...... Conspiracy !!!


U fighting wrong Battle Op ?
Please spare us the lecture! How many Nigerians live in the creeks? You people keep contradicting yourselves with every post.

1. You say 80% of Nigerians live on $1 a day and when someone challenges you to show us those Nigerians, you claim they live in the creeks and the forest! That is serious dishonesty right there!

2. You say the rural areas dont have good houses. I dont understand that. The rural areas are not supposed to have standard houses. That is why it is called rural areas. They are called villages for a reason. When the western media portray their countries, they dont show us the rural areas. They show us the cities. So why show the rural areas when they want to show Nigeria?

3. The people in the rural areas dont live on $1 a day. In fact, when it comes to things like food, the people in the rural areas fare much better than most people in the urban areas. Do you even know what $1 a day is? Except from some remote villages in states like Borno and Kebbi, there is no where in the MB, SE, SW and SS where people live on $1 a day. It is all a pack of lies.

4. They even went on to say 100 million Nigerians are destitutes. What hogwash! What nonsense. Do they even know the meaning of the word destitute? You cannot call most rural dwellers destitute. They can fend for themselves. They are mostly self subsistent farmers. How can you classify them as destitute. Are you saying people who dont have good cars and flat screen TV are destitutes?

5. Since I was born, I have never seen any UN research team in Nigeria on field work. Where do they get their statistics? Maybe Musiwa has been supplying them data with his satellites! They just sit behind their laptops and cook up figures from their backside. Very shameful scam going on with these NGOs

But what is worse than the foreign media is the new breed of Nigeria doomsday singers and prophets, who want to paint a picture of a catastrophic Nigeria. They will run all over social media trying to look for the worst invectives to describe Nigeria. They a pathetic bunch of inferiority complex ridden folks.

Has Nigeria got issues? A resounding yes!
Are we the only country with issues? A resounding No!
Are we one of the few countries willing to talk ourselves down. A resounding yes!
If you dont like Nigeria, then get of our sites and our faces and go read Yahoo news!
