sharap...pay bills for light we dont see?why didnt they use that abacha loot to fund the power sector..you are a zombie..lol..fact is nigeria is a failed state under the dullard

Well, we can all shout at APC, but when they go, the problem would still be there...and who will we blame.?

Back when I was a student, I lived in an off campus residence. Out of thrity students living there, only six of us were contributing money to pay the estimated bills PHCN (this was before DISCOS and GENCOS and Buhari and GEj)....

In 2014, Abuja DISCO said that 70% of its customers are not paying.

And the bills we pay...I currently pay N6000 , on a prepaid meter , which would last me for 3 months.

And the DISCOS as a result dont have cash to pay GENCOS. GENCOS don;t have cash to make improvements...and ditto the govt to improve transmission.

And there is a good reason GEJ handed over to DISCOS...the money needed is not small.

Call me zombie, call me all the names in the book.....I am not here to defend government. Or to attack them. We have a problem with power in this country. We are not doing our part to improve things. And if we don't pay our bills regularly, or even admit that the bills we pay are a oke...then when are we going to get improvement?

Better wake up.

Before we bash anyone...consider this fact.

We generate less than 7000MW of power a day. For 200m people.

Before we can stop budgeting N170m for fuel for generator....we have to generate at least 40000MW plus fix the transmision

And all this needs money.

Now, the funny thing is that most of the people bashing APC or PDP for power are contributing to the problem by not paying their power bills.

And that includes a lot of government agencies as well.

Then the money we pay for power....Ghana has light 24/7 and they pay far more than we do in power bills.

So, Nigerians have to pay their bills, and we also have to pay a bill that is commensurate with the amount of money needed to fix power...because at the end of the day, we need N 5 trillion (according to a report in thisday some 20 years ago) to fix power.

We have to be realistic. Even if we vote out APC tomorrow...the problem will still be looking at us.

So IPOB wants to derail political activity in the SE.

And by the time APC wins again, or an angry PDP wins, .....

IPOB better work with the reality of Nigeria...or else they will forever be agitating.

Better focus on your studies, and stop lying.

Before 2015: GEJ is to blame! As President, He is the nation’s Chief Security Officer, for God’s sakes! He should resign if he can’t do his work!

After 2015: Blame the insecurity in the north increasing population and climate change.

If this is not hypocrisy, what else is? Hypocrites are evil. Even Buhari is ashamed of this level of hypocrisy.

It is sad that everything is seen through the prisim or should I say prison of politics.

My views on the matter were the same when GEJ was in power. What I said in the comment you quoted is what I would have said when GEJ was in power.

The person I originally responded to by the way was blaming PDP for formenting the herdsmen crisis. A view I find strange and wrong.

And please, try to be more polite when you respond to others. I did.not insult you, I see no reason why you should be rude to me.

Good evening

WORLDPEACE:
Your comment is all over the place. What is your position?

Will you personally vote for Sowore? If not, why?

Moghalu looks interesting

hatchy:
Pharaoh Buhari ......February Red Sea will surely consume you and your chariots men.

Moses Atiku will deliver us from this bondage surely.

Atiku that is also the son and grandson of herdsmen?

Okay.

And no, Bubu too is not the answer

Dandsome:
Shameful... Because he refused to sacrifice his people??

Has anyone noticed that before the issue of elections started and rampant killings stopped, almost all the states where there was/is fulani killings is always a state governed by APC governor.

Immediately Ortom switched to PDP the killing in his state stopped.

Are you thinking what we're thinking?

PDP is not responsible for Fulani herdsmen.

When Benue was a PDP state five years ago, the same issues was happening.

Blame increasing population, insecurity in the Far north and climate change for the whole problem

So why are we not voting for Sowore...

Because, let's be honest, Sowore does not have the support that he needs to become President.

Outside Lagos, Abuja and some other Nigerian cities , how many people know Sowore? Or the other Nigerian candidates.

The truth is, in politics, there is no such thing as a perfect candidate. If you want things to change in Nigeria...vote for Atiku (yes, I have said it, and I hate myself for saying it, and personally, I won't be voting for any PDP or APC candidate)...because at the end of the day, we have 4 years to get rid of him if he does not perform.

And if Atiku's replacement does not perform, we vote them out, and keep on doing so, until the elite and the leaders see we mean business...then things will improve.

And most of us talking...how many of us are agitating for the candidates of the other small parties,like SDP, YPP, et al.? We all sit down, moan about how bad things are...then go and vote for the same old same old...and pretend we did it in Nigeria's interest.

Ah well....either way, Nigeria is in for a long and gloomy time till we wake up.

Hmmm

The credibility of the currency exchange exercise was, however,severely tested when the late Emir of Gwandu, father of Major Mustafa Haruna Jokolo (rtd) who was then the ADC to the C-in-C, arrived back in the country from a foreign trip with a large delegation of wives and children.Newspapers reported that aided by connections to the regime, he cleared 53 suitcases, none of which were inspected by the customs service at the airport which was then under Abubakar Atiku – the current Vice President.However, the issue remains controversial with latter day unsubstantiated comments from General Buhari himself as well as aides to former Major Jokolo (who is now the Emir of Gwandu) claiming on the one hand that the count of “53 suitcases” was inaccurate and on the other that the scenario was contrived by then NSO Boss Rafindadi allegedly to protecta friend of his in the diplomatic service

You this man....you want to be like your lord and Savior Mavordi...

Abeg...take your MMM story elsewhere.

darthv:
Guy price of petrol in s.a R17.08 per litre, listen you can't compare S.A to Nigeria in any way.. okay let imagine that one gets paid in rands and he quickly converts his rands to dollars which is about 290 dollars with the minimum wage bros person fit survive.Nigeria is bleeped up!

One minute you were comparing SA and Nigeria's GDP...the next minute you are saying that SA should not be compared to Nigeria...

Okay.

Fuel is high in SA (as someone said N430 per liter) largely because SA is not an oil producing country. And they don't do subsides. They have refineries...which they use to refine imported crude.


Again, if we want to be like SA, we have to develop an industrial economy that exports stuff. That means a long period of austerity as we focus on power and infrastructure, and stop spending money on frivolous stuff...and corruption has to go.(Nigerians, unfortunately fight corruption when it is not their person involved).

We also have to thoroughly regulate our solid minerals sector. We have lots of minerals, which guys just mine anyhow, and sell , and don't pay taxes or do community development. Nigeria loses billions.

And we need to do large scale farming. Subsistence farming can only take us that far.

We got work to do.

darthv:
Can someone please tell me how Nigeria is the giant of Africa? the average S.A minimum wage is R14,290 over 105,000 Nigerian Naira. while in Nigeria our Politicians are angered that its citizens are asking for paltry 30,000 Nigerian Naira.

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in South Africa was worth 349.42 billion US dollars. while that of Nigeria is 375.77 billion US dollars all in 2017.

Yes...until you realize that SA has less than 50 million people. Nigeria has 200 million people.

Two men earn a salary of N150000, one has a wife and two children, the other has two wives, eleven children and two dependents. Tell ,e which family would look more prosperous.

Agreed our politicans are corrupt...but to be frank...we also have to massively increase our earning power.

The South African economy is also diversified as well...meaning they have a strong manufacturing base, a strong commercial farming base, both of which export massively....and let's not forget the diamond, gold and platinum bit.

Nigeria? All we rely on is oil. As for agric, less than 10% of our farming is done on largescale commercial farms. Industry exists in Nigeria...barely, and it does not export anything (not even during the good old days of the 1970's and 80's.).

But mind you, SA has a large poor underclass most of whom earn way below minimum wage. As does Nigeria.

MrSix:
Where are they abeg?

I usually answer such questions verbosely....but I think I am going to send you to ask google.

[b]Because you are not interested in the answer....you just want to show me how superior you are to them blind religious mice.

[/b]The problem is you are blaming religion for a problem you should be solving.

Get up, take part in politics, fight for office, and once there, put in place things like a good social welfare system that works.

By the way, I worked in a local government area that had two catholic run hospitals, a catholic university(now fully up and running) a catholic school (there was also a school run by the methodists as well). I also once attended a training programme for medics that was cosponsored by a Catholic charity that among other things feeds the poor.

And once again, I am no Catholic. I even can write a treatise on how their church preaches false doctrine,how that church is oppressive, and how they badly handled the child molestation crisis... and so on. But to pretend that all the Catholics do is build nice churches and oppress the poor is a lie and is not true.

Assignment...Go and read about Father Damien(worked among lepers in Hawaii, now USA) and Father Lutz...the latter of whom set up the first 'modern' hospital in Eastern Nigeria.

MrSix:
They should start dedicating education centres and factories.





Need a laptop?

Ah yes...the Catholic Church has dedicated education centers, hospitals, and a whole lot more.

And Catholics have set up factories and employ lots of labour.

And I am no Catholic by the way.

Malawian:
Someone educated by Awolowo free education obviously spelt that. I could even imagine him doing mouth like who was cutting shaki meat while spelling that.

Erm the poster was most likely made in Kogi state...for a Kogi state chapter of the party.

Kogi was part of the Northern Region back in the day.....Awolowo was many things , but Premier or Governor of the Northern Region he wasn't.

Even though kids do stupid things, it shouldn't be trading one of your kidneys for a mere phone. Well, some ladies lost their virginity for BlackBerry phones which the same ladies would never ever wanna touch now. Some are already doing extremely nasty things for iPhones too. It's a pity that common sense is actually uncommon

Blackberry phone that is even so obsolete.

Thing is, we probably consume 50m liters a day.

Cars, buses, generators, bikes, keke napep, some trucks, etc....

Ah well, removing subsidy would end all this arguing. But since neither PDP nor APC want to lose their jobs....

The thing is....FEES HAVE TO GO UP.

Either ASUU accepts that universities have to be run on half bread....or fees go up.

Govt has been corrupt...but there is no extra money just for universites.Sorry.

Between Dec 1st 1983 to Jan 31st 1984, Nigeria's foreign reserves dipped significantly.

Buhari looted Nigeria dry in one month.

The recession was heralded by Buhari looting our treasury the very next day.

The oil boom ended in October 1982 when oil prices crashed.

Add the wasteage and the massively bad economic policies, and the Second Republic government was not any good.

As I said, still does not justify any coup though. If Buhari wanted to change things, he should have left the army and joined politics.

Bubu's army government was not into looting. They punished looters like Barkin Zuwo of Kano who kept 10million naira under his bed, as well as many other politicians who looted and looted.

Read Karl. Maier 's This House has fallen for more details

I think that Bubu, while not being a looter, did not make the hard choices needed to.make the economy better then.

Buhari was wrong to overthrow the Shagari government.

Having said that, Shagari 's government was not good for our economy or country. Rampant corruption, poor economic policies, violent politics, and the Maitastine insurgency were all there.

In fact the economic issues Buhari faced in 1984 was due to Shagari 's mishandling of the economy. Failure to save for the rainy day until oil prices crashed in 1982, now that was a mistake.

But Buhari should not have plotted a coup. Better for him to resign from the army then, go into politics and win elected office. Same thing for Nzeogwu and company. Because of the decisions they made we lost our chances at developing a mature political system and in essence had to start from scratch in 1999.

So, yes, Buhari should not have overthrown Shagari govt. But Shagari's time in power was not Shangri-la either. The Second Republic political class ran our economy aground and fostered tribal and ethnic politics.Still...the beauty of democracy is that anyone can by hard work change things peacefully. Not by violent means

Not going to happen.

First, changing the laws....is going to be problematic. It has to go through the National Assembly...and I bet you other regions will ask for the laws to be expanded to allow for the creation of other states.

Second, decentralization. The crisis of the 1960's was caused by too much decentrailzation, which is why Ironsi ended federal government and went unitary(good intentions, but bad outcome). Plus...states are badly run right now...and decentrailztion won't make things better.....people have to change.

Nigeria is still a member of OIC- Organisation of Islamic Countries. That was through Babangida

Nigeria is a member of the World Council of Churches as well as other Christian organisations.

Plus, since we joined OIC...the chruch has grown faster than the mosque.

Besides, we are a member of the World Handball federation...how many Nigerians play handball.?

There is no agenda to Islamize Nigeria? How come ALL armed forces, services chiefs and security apparatus in Nigeria is controlled by Islam
[img][/img]

And how many converts has Buratai won for Islam? The same muslim Buratai that keeps snakes in his spare time..snakes that are 'haram'. And our Navy and CDS are headed by Christians, plus there are far too many high ranking Christians in sensitive positions in the Army and Police.
and other organisaitons....

And suppose Buaratai used the Army for jihad? The Army that disproprtionaly recruits from the Middle Belt ? The army that would be split along relgious lines?..and would lead to anarchic crisis?

And all those Muslim captains of industry like Dangote....would they suppoprt something that would harm their bottom line?

See Sudan that tried to islamise their whole country...and the Christians were in a minority. Not only did they end up with thirty years of anarchy(and the Darfur region is not at peace yet)...they eventually lost three quarters of their country, and lost access to 80% of oil revenue.Now their country is in chaos. And at one time, they were running around shouting Jihad.

Are Christians so weak that they must always be scared of Islam? Nigerian Christians that are richer, more educated,more powerful more connected than South Sudanese.

Me, I know there are mad islamists in this country....but they don't have the numbers to do nada. Sharia that was implemeted in some parts of the country has done nothing.

Come, let us Chrsitains sort out our problems. Like our corrupt Christian leaders, our violent millitants, etc. Same for the Muslims. The Islamists and Zionists and Chrsitianists are not coming for us.

You said Jesus has done it before? Can you please share with us your experience.. First or second hand experience, it doesn't matter, we just want to hear it.

Seems like you did not get my post at all.

But answering your question, Jesus did miraculously save me from one chance some six years ago.

Having said that, Jesus' job is to change men's hearts. It is easy to save someone like me from one chance....but what matters more to God is that the situations that led to men and women doing one chance....the changing of men's hearts...leading to stuff like good government, helping the poor, fighting for the rights of others, making the choice not to be involved in crime, not discriminating against others...is very important.

As a doctor, I have treated many people for diabeties. But it isnt just enough to treat diabetics, you also have to encourage them to change their lifestyle...and also encourage the non diabetics too...and that takes a lot more than just writing prescriptions.
