Ovamboland: You don't know anything. If there are abundant respectable jobs in Nigeria, nobody will stop you if you still want to cross desert to go and hiding in Europe as illegal alien
The problem is I dont need to cross desert, I have UK visa stamped at Sheffield!
Ovamboland: That's why we should burn coal if necessary so that our industries can have cheap reliable power like the rich countries so our youths can have enough respectable jobs without dieing in the desert while searching for jobs.
Just like we fought UK, Canada Saudi over travel ban, we should be able to surmount any obstacle to coal power if it's our best guarantee for stable power, no apologies about that. We lose too much to lack of stable power compared to the effect of one single power plant on the environment.
Did Gbaja not do this analysis before that over 8000 wards will be involved when he insisted that direct primaries will be the best and give all and sundry equal opportunity. Anyway we know what we know!
They are affraid of electronic transfer of results!
Ovamboland: They will keep our generation and the coming ones poor while they continue to grow rich burning coal while advising us against it. Meanwhile our youths will continue to cross Sahara desert, swim and die in Mediterranean ocean to go and sweep floor in countries that grew rich while burning coal.
At least life has meaning over there, even if you are illegal immigrants. What is your country offering than suffering and hardship, unless you are eating from the cookies jar!
Ovamboland: Have small sense, these are reports from Ministry Of Water Resources on dams across rivers with power generating capacities. There are still thermal power projects ongoing via AKK gas pipeline and renewable energy projects
Foreverdope: A video which is circulating on social media, shows a man creating a scene at a wedding ceremony after he found out to his shock that the bride is his own girlfriend.
It was gathered that man was invited to the wedding and he showed up to the venue just like other guests, but to his shock, the lady who was getting married that day was his girlfriend.
Destabilized by the turn of events, he started causing drama but before things could escalate, he was whisked away by security guards at the wedding.
The video was shared online alongside the caption; “He was invited to a wedding and he came to meet his girlfriend as the BRIDE.”
The Federal Government has outlined nine completed and ongoing hydropower projects being prepared to add 2,672 megawatts of electricity to the national grid.
It outlined the projects in its latest document containing the status of the country’s hydropower sector, which was obtained from the Federal Ministry of Water Resources in Abuja by our correspondent on Monday.
Data from the FMWR showed that the nine projects were located in five states including Kaduna, Taraba, Gombe, Benue and Nasarawa.
They include the 30MW Gurara I hydropower project in Kaduna, completed and put on concession; 360MW Gurara II plant, also in Kaduna, with its engineering, procurement and construction contract already awarded.
Others include the Kashimbila, Dadin-Kowa and Itisi hydropower projects with capacities of 40MW each and located in Taraba, Gombe and Kaduna states respectively.
The government said both the Kashimbila and Dadin-Kowa hydropower projects had been completed and were ready for concession, while a Memorandum of Understanding had been signed with Kaduna State on the Itisi project.
It said three other hydropower projects, namely, Bawarku, 182MW; Makurdi, 1,500MW; and Katsina-Ala, 460MW, were all located in Benue State.
The ministry stated that the Bawarku Hydropower project was in its Outline Business Case approval stage by the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission, while the Makurdi project was undergoing re-validation of the ICRC certification.
The Outline Business Case for the Katsina-Ala Hydropower project was currently ongoing, according to the FMWR.
The government named the ninth power plant as the 20MW Farin-Ruwa Hydropower project in Nasarawa State, adding that the facility had been awarded and would soon add to the quantum of electricity on the national grid.
“Nigeria has a hydropower potential of 12,220MW, unfortunately, less than 2,000MW of this has been developed at Kainji, Jebba and Shiroro dams,” the FMWR stated.
It added, “This explains the urgency of harnessing the nation’s hydropower potentials to meet the country’s power needs.”
The ministry said since 2015 it had pursued the goal of completing the many inherited hydropower projects across the country and had recorded successes in this direction.
This came as the Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu, explained that the Federal Government was not privatising its dams, rather some of the facilities were on concession, particularly those for power generation.
Frestuffng: ose joor. Omo ale ni boy yen na, bawo ni WA se so wipe Tinubu he Omo 69 years? Tinubu ati buhari ni agemate. Thanks I won't reply him again. Make him spent his swaga 1k in peace.
Tinubu said show is GCI certificate if indeed, he was in Ibadan or mention anyone in his class.
What new ideas has Yahaya Bello introduced in governance that older ones like Sanwo Olu,ElRufai,,Zulum,Wike,etc ,never have?
Presidency is not a technical position,it is a leadership position that requires a lot of leadership experience.
Let the young occupy the technical positions,like law making, minister of finance,agric,technology,budget and financial planning,etc.
A 35yr old can only become the CEO of his own or family company, it is very rare to see a 35yr old becoming the CEO of a public or well structured company.You must pass through the ranks and that comes with years of work and leadership experience.
In Nigeria and Africa, it looks technical because we dont have good system. Come to think of it, Gowon, Yayah Jamine, Awolowo, Azikiwe, Balewa were in their 30s. If we have good system. 30 years can run this country wella. Many of us youth are too timid!
BeeBeeOoh: I am not a thug nor election rigger and I'm sure you ain't a thug nor election rigger also, same goes with most of us. As a matter of fact, I know what I'm doing and I believe you know what you are doing also, same with most of us.
But, why will a youth in his right mind be campaigning for a septuagenarian that his brain is somehow outdated to rule him if not a youth that is utterly stupid?
Baba you see that youth above, he's not just stupid, he's mad also
Let me comment now. Most of the youth are pummeled they can not reason for themselves again. So they rather prefer to die as slaves as long as their daily rations are being met!

Onyiiobi7735: Boric,Latin America's youngest president. But here in Nigeria, 35 year old people are still fooling around with no sense of purpose and direction in their lives.
The politicians know what they are doing. Make them irrelevant to themselves!
The streets of Santiago erupted in celebration Sunday after leftist millennial Gabriel Boric became Chile’s youngest-ever president-elect with an unexpectedly large victory over his far-right rival in a polarizing race.
Boric, 35, garnered nearly 56 percent of the vote compared to 44 percent for ultra-conservative Jose Antonio Kast, who conceded even before the final result was known.
Tens of thousands of Chileans took to the streets of the capital and other cities after Kast’s concession, honking car horns in approval, brandishing pro-Boric placards, waving the rainbow LGBTQ flag and shouting: “Viva Chile!”
Fireworks lit the skies for hours on end.
“I’m thrilled, I am crying with joy. We dealt a blow to fascism!” pharmacy worker Jennie Enriquez, 45, told AFP.
“I am happy because there are going to be many changes that will help the people and the working class,” added construction worker Luis Astorga, 58.
Boric had campaigned on the promise of installing a “social welfare” state, increasing taxes and social spending in a country with one of the world’s largest gaps between rich and poor.
Branded a “communist” by his detractors, he vowed in his first official address Sunday to “expand social rights” in Chile, but to do so with “fiscal responsibility.”
“We will do it protecting our macro-economy, we will do it well… to improve pensions and healthcare,” he said.
– ‘Great triumph’ – Kast congratulated Boric, who leads an alliance that includes Chile’s Communist Party, “on his great triumph.”
“From today on, he is the president-elect of Chile and he deserves all our respect and constructive cooperation. Chile always comes first.”
Kast is an apologist for brutal dictator Augusto Pinochet and his neo-liberal economic model, credited with Chile’s relative wealth but blamed for its deep-rooted social inequality.
He opposes same-sex marriage, contraception and abortion, and had initially pledged to close the ministry of women’s affairs, a promise he later rowed back on.
According to a projection by Chile’s Servel election body, turnout was more than 55 percent — a record since voting became voluntary in 2012.
Boric won by a margin of nearly a million ballots out of 8.3 million cast by 15 million eligible voters.
“Clearly more young people came out, it seems clear… that Boric managed to mobilize the segment that is more difficult to mobilize, which is the segment of young people,” Claudia Heiss of the University of Chile told AFP.
“All (Kast’s) anti-rights, anti-women, anti-gay speech, I think it helped mobilize that young segment,” she added.
The new president will face the difficult task of healing a society reeling from a polarizing campaign replete with antagonistic attacks and fake news onslaughts.
For a country that has voted centrist since the democratic ousting of Pinochet 31 years ago, it was a stark choice between two polar opposite political outsiders.
Boric on Sunday reiterated his plans for “a more humane Chile, a more dignified Chile, a more egalitarian Chile.”
Congratulations poured in from elsewhere in Latin America, from Brazil’s ex-president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Cuban leader Miguel Diaz-Canel and Argentina’s Alberto Fernandez on the left, to right-wing presidents Ivan Duque of Colombia and Guillermo Lasso of Ecuador.
Boric and Kast had softened their policy proposals in a bid to appeal to Chileans left without an obvious candidate when they split the centrist vote in the first round, leaving only the two antipodes.
Both represent parties that have never been in government.
– ‘President of all Chileans’ – Chile is going through profound change after voting overwhelmingly last year in favor of drawing up a new constitution to replace the one enacted in the Pinochet years.
The 2020 referendum was in response to an anti-inequality social uprising in 2019 that left dozens dead.
The drafting process, in the hands of a largely left-leaning body elected in May, must yield a constitution for approval next year, on the new president’s watch.
President Sebastian Pinera, who leaves office with a low approval rating, said Sunday the country was living in “an environment of excessive polarization, confrontation, disputes.”
Pinera urged his successor, before the result was known, to never forget that “he will be the president of all Chileans, and not just those who support him.”
