Power is in private hands. Both at distribution and generation level.

The only way Buhari can improve power supply is by, well, repealing that bit in the power privatization law that forces DISCOS to charge for power at a cost below production. This is what is driving away more investors.

But since that means high power bills...most Nigerians would say no.And politicians love their jobs more than they love development.

Nigerians and their government too have to pay the debts they owe the DISCOS. (You can't do much in a business where only one third of your customers are actually paying for the stuff)

If DISCOS is charging 50k or 100k per month for electricity bill everywhere in Nigeria and the power supply is available 24hrs daily ; Nigerians will surely pay . It’s just like our Telecommunication providers , na the amount of recharge card wey you buy Nah ehn you go use . So no excuse from FG at all

SouthEastFacts:
I am not the reason you couldn't read.

Enugu is one of the top 100 most resilient cities in the world. It made the list alongside London, Paris, Barcelona, Athens.

Kee yaself

Please give us the statistics. What’s the monthly revenue generated in Enugu ? What’s the total number of foreign investment and investors in Enugu, what’s the infrastructure level in Enugu like ? Compare the health care system ? Compare the level of security? Compare economic & political stability . Bro you need to do your research well ; stop misleading people

SouthEastFacts:
Enugu is a world-class city. In 2015 it was recognised alongside Paris, London, Athens, Barcelona as one of the Top 100 most resilient city in the world.

Guess what?

Enugu made the first list. Forget about all the noise from our sophisticated brothers, Lagos City , Lagos State is crawling where Enugu is.

Again, Lagos is not even a Yoruba city. Has Yorubas been able to develop a city by themselves.

The Ibadan we left for them, why are they not able to maintain the city today. Imagine the once pride of Africa now a bundle of rotten roofs, since there are no Igbos and non-indigenes to build better houses for them.

You need to get your fact right bro , comparing Enugu with London and Paris !! , you no even stay for local within Nigeria ? You get mind Dey mention Paris and London Nawa oooo. You should be talking about Abuja , Calabar, Kaduna , port Harcourt etc .

Cloning & substandard products are bad practices but that's usually the start to great innovations.

And

Asia/China doesn't just produce itel/Infinix and tecno(I don't know those are crap), they are also responsible for great brands like Xiaomi, Huawei and One plus.

Middle class Africans (If such a category exists) owes its remarkable lifestyle shifts to the contributions of Asia to the global economy.

i.e. It is had to argue that our (The average Nigerian's) quality of life would not be a little worse off but for the contributions of Asians to the global economy.

If not for China how many people go get phone for Africa .

Bro...its so painful that trump will lose his re-election..he us the best thing to happen to the US at this stage of china's cave to ruke the world economically...imagine hauwei hav the guts to sue the US govt over the ban of their technology

China's premier have decovered the worlds model to grow its economy....
If u require coruption, he bribes ur govt officials...if u require good. Justice system and human right...he sues ur own country to ourt just to gain access

China must be rtailed b4 it steals the whole world jobs....

I pity russia the most who is fyting his european trusted economic patners and threatening them....

They prefer to embrace china, cuz of their perceieved access to less than 2% china market..

China is gaining military tech knowhow from.them...when china becomes vry miitary strong...they will start bullying russia with her larger military poplation

Russia’s economy has been isolated since the Cold War era and yet the country is still able to provide for its citizens within the country and in diaspora. If there’s any country that don’t give a shit about World Bank , EU , United Nations etc then Russia is that country ; followed by China .

Daviddson:
Ignorance. Many people don't know that people use power banks in America and Europe where there is virtually uninterrupted power supply. When you're in a public place like attending a seminar, and your battery is low, you simply pull out your bank and connect your phone, without having to look for where to plug it and later forgetting to pick it while leaving.

lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! theres charging port in every public place, even some train station and bus station have charging port to plug charger. airport use to have too

AmazingRidwan:
Good day sir/ma,
I'm a final year engineering student of University of Ilorin. I'm deeply in need of your assistance towards the progress of my project. The cost of renting field equipments is very exorbitant, which of course I'm unable to foot all by myself. I worked during holidays to foot my bills but currently I'm broke as financial cost of the project has sucked me dry. I feel ashamed having to beg for support on here but I'd try any legal means to get the needed help. I was not registered member until the need for this. Pls kindly assist as you deem fit, may God bless you and ease your affairs. 0130219489 GTB

send me a pm .
NOTE: you must send a pdf copy of your project topic and contact of your project supervisor for verification purpose .

Basher8583:
Rwanda is a very small country with a population of about 11 million. Not even up to Lagos population. They will be glad to have you around to invest your money. The op should go there now before awa brothers from the east kill the place like they did South Africa

Rwanda, Burundi, Lesotho and Botswana; all these countries are really attracting foreign investors now , if you can negotiate well anyone with good capital will get citizenship and low Tax fee when you establish a business that employ their citizens .

I'm happy for Kwara people

You people just lost the number 3 post

Did they benefit anything from the number 3 post ?

This is the kind of comment I have been waiting for. Thanks bro. I applied for asylum. Hired a lawyer who helped me with the asylum application. She is so good. Entered USA on 26th March, 2018, Applied for asylum in JUly 2018, Biometrics in early September 2018, Interview late September 2018, they said result of my interview will be out in 2 weeks. I waited till January 2019. Saw it in my mailbox. It was granted. I screamed so loud. I have received my social security card, gotten my state id, gotten my work permit, applied for college to start nursing program this summer, my church here is assisting with scholarship. On 14th January of next year i will be eligible to apply for green card and receive it in my mailbox within a month. Once i get it i'll pause college and join US national guard. One thing with Nigerians is they are so quick to call someone a liar. This is a public forum, I dont know any of you here so why will i lie to strangers? See how this young man congratulated me and I took my time to explain to him. The othjer person called me liar pants on fire telling me to post proof. I should go and snap my USCIS letter and show to you because you are an immigration officer. I could have started raining abuses on you but as an American(Pennsylvanian to be precise), I will never stoop so low.

Please on what basis did you apply for asylum? Homosexuality? war ? Etc

Kwara and Ekiti state should be on that list also; poverty is biting hard in those states

The guy no commit any crime nah ; una go Dey treat bishop like say dem no get d**k or blood for body . Abeg body no be firewood

Pavarottii:
other states that don't av mwoney like bayelsa av airport .... So why won't dey have?

Why do you think a flight from Lagos to abuja , or Lagos to port Harcourt is cheaper Because there are lot of passengers on that route. The number of passengers going to Bayelsa is quite small. It’s just like saying Ekiti state should have an international airport ; when the total state revenue isn’t even upto what Yaba or Lagos island local govt generate in a year .

ChiefAzubuike:
As in anytime I pass along that road when travelling and see the so called "international" airport I just shake my head. I've never seen an airport looking so cheap and scanty. Even the international aviation college close to it looks far better. I've flown with muritala Mohammed int' Lagos. Though they have their own issues too but the difference is clear. Its more presentable. Ilorin international airport no dey presentable at all.

Sometimes I wonder why they have an Airport in Ilorin in the first place . Instead of wasting all that money on the rubbish Airport, they should have use that money to construct a good Road from Ilorin to Abuja or Lagos and put Toll on the road . The govt will definitely generate revenue from that just the way Lagos state makes money with Tolls at Lekki express way .

Rotimi47:
changes. However, as the #1 citizen, his impact and leverage are the highest." Could you list the reasons? Here is the list of 34 reasons I said Buhari is not the reason Nigerians are suffering today:

1. The PDP got $1 trillion dollars from crude oil sales in 16 years and no visible change in the country. Buhari got $97 billion in three and half years and turned the whole of Nigeria into a giant construction site.

2. It is the PDP that looted Nigeria into recession but Buhari pulled us out of recession in less than 12 months due to smart implementation of brilliant economic policies.

3. Compare Nigeria and Venezuela economy.

4. Thousands of Venezuelan citizens are crossing their land borders into Brazil because of economic hardship.

5. Another example is Cyprus and Greece.

6. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) miracle.

7. Despite earning 1 trillion Dollars under PDP, Nigeria was still owing $6 Billion Dollars to multinational oil partners leading to job losses. Buhari paid it back in two years.

8. The Nigeria Customs Service used to remit disgraceful amounts to the treasury. But now, it is projected that it would remit between N1.5 trillion and N2 trillion Naira in 2018. In 2017, it remitted close to N1.4 trillion to the treasury.

9. The Nigeria Customs now remits about N2 trillion Naira to the treasury instead of about 50 Billion under PDP.

10. The federal inland revenue service now remits around N4 trillion naira per year to the treasury unlike before under GEJ when it used to remit N2 trillion.

11. The implementation of the treasury single account which was conceived by GEJ only started under Buhari and over 4 trillion was accumulated in a year.

12. The implementation of the BVN by President Buhari eliminated 75K ghost workers from the civil service thereby saving Nigeria N200 billion per year.

13. Unlike before when fuel scarcity was a recurring decimal, now under Buhari this problem has been nipped in the bud.

14. The 3K MW Mambila Hydropower project which was conceived decades ago has now received counterpart funding from the FG and it has been awarded to a Chinese construction firm for $5.7 billion. Most of the funds for the project will come from the China Exim Bank.

15. Buhari has recovered looted funds of over N1 trillion looted under the PDP/GEJ’s 3-year administration and these recoveries were factored into 2017 and 2018 budgets for the FG.

16. Buhari has been able to purchase over a billion-dollar worth of military hardware to fight terrorism.

17. Smuggling, armed robbery and brazen embezzlement of public funds have reduced drastically under President Buhari.

18. Buhari took us from a one-product and oil-dependent economy to a diversified economy. From spending billions of dollars on rice importation and from being the biggest rice-importing nation in the world to becoming the biggest rice producer in Africa and the 6th largest in the world.

19. He is also putting billions of naira in the pockets of Nigerians directly via the rice related anchored borrowers’ program which has created over 12 million jobs and over 4 million rice millionaire farmers.

20. Cash is paid directly to the poor via the conditional cash transfer of a non-refundable sum of N5k per person per month under Buhari. 10k per person is being paid also under the TraderMoni program and this amount can be scaled up to N100k if the beneficiaries pay back the loan.

21. Over 15m pupils are getting one meal a day with a drink and this has increased school enrolment.

22. Over 4,000 capital projects were included in the 2018 budget alone and Buhari is doing his best to disburse to contractors despite the fact that Saraki reduced the funds for these 4,000 projects by N347b. Buhari has so far spent over 2 trillion naira on roads, bridges, airports, primary health care etc. Instead of 18 Billion spent by Jonathan.

23. 500,000 previously unemployed graduates now have jobs under Buhari N-Power program.

24. Pensioners who were forgotten are now getting paid including ex-staffers of the Nigerian Airways 35 years later. An Ukraine-based pastor Sunday Adelaja. Source: Original

25. Also, ex-service men including those who served under Biafra got paid the gratuity that the FG had been owing them since the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and their pension payments have been regular under Buhari.

26. Thousands of Nigerians who would have continued to die in roads the PDP did not fix for 16 years cannot say Buhari has not made his impact felt considering the fact that over 500 federal roads are currently being fixed by FERMA and the Federal Ministry of Works all under Buhari.

27. There is not one state in Nigeria today where the Federal Government is not executing at least one road project.

28. Difficult or abandoned projects like the 2nd Niger Bridge have been brought back to life.

29. Sections of Ilorin-Jebba, Sokoto to Jeba, Sokoto-iletahave been completed. While progress of works continues nationwide from Jada to Mayo Belwa, Enugu to Port Harcourt, Lagos to Shagamu, Benin to Okene, Lokoja to Abuja, Kano to Maiduguri, Abuja – Kaduna, Kano to mention a few.

30. Millions of Nigerians will benefit from the dual carriage standard gauge rail lines scattered around the 6 geopolitical zones of Nigeria.

31. Thousands of artisans and graduates draw on loans of over N50b made available to them through the bank of industry with only their University certificates serving as collateral.

32. Boko Haram used to control 26 local governments in Nigeria but now it controls none. . Paris Club refund and Bail out to all the 36 States for 2 conservative times to the tune of $3B.

33. 20,000 Nigerians rescued from Boko Haram captivity including 100 Chibok girls and 100 Dapchi girls.

34. Jonathan met 64 billion dollars in the foreign reserves of Nigeria Depleted it to 29 billion despite making 383 billion from oil alone. They spent the 383 billion in six year, borrowed 20billion dollars, then went to the reserves to vandalize the reserves Today Buhari with three times less income has been able to increase our foreign reserves to 43 billion, and still executing more projects on ground. The current administration was voted into office promising to defeat corruption and recover the looted funds. How can Nigeria get rid of corruption? It is going to be a long and difficult fight for Nigeria to get rid of corruption. The only way to do it is to first of all change the value systems of the Nigerian people. We need to change our mindset. The government unfortunately right now are not paying keen attention to values. They are rather paying too much attention to the fight against corruption through police and government groups that they had set up. But the only way to get the country out of corruption is first to change the mindset of the people.
