@truthisunqie Keep calm, though I love Amaechi, he is not considered presently as the game is. Watch out for what would be released in the following days

[quote author=subsidywise18 post=112108899][/quote]You even have to edit my post because I asked you to prove your claim. Ignorant child

subsidywise18:
Well, the subsidy removal happened recently..as in this year, so expecting benefits is too too much

As for the increases in tarrifs, it was written into the laws from the word go. The problem with the increases was that it was kept below the cost of production. You can increase tarrifs, but so long as you are still keeping it below the cost of production, nothing is going to happen (Even with the increase, depending on the number of hours of power supply to where you live, you pay less or more for power)

Government removing subsidy this year had to do with rising cost of crude, which led to rising cost of gas...and since most of our power supply is gas run. That's the truth. Buhari would love to subsidise power, so as not to get voted out, but reality has caught up with him. So subsidy goes. (It should have gone since 2013)

By the way, my argument is not to excuse APC, or PDP but to make the point that if the power sector is allowed to charge the tarrifs that make it make a profit that can enable them to pay for improvements...just like the GSM guys were ......we would get 24 hour power. Also, we all have to pay our bills, not 66% of us.

You know nothing about power sector. Just stuff your opinion back into your pocket. Lazy yooot

[quote author=subsidywise18 post=112108243][/quote]Come and prove your claim. Show record document or government policy that support your claim na. Abi na just beer parlour gossip you carry come naira land.

Stop disgracing yourself, because someone said so doesn't mean it is true. You should have conduct some restart to know fact of the matter.

As it stands today government has been subsidising Disco through many interventions such as SDG and REA where transformers are being provided.

Until recently, government have been paying for excess power generation that are lost via transmission and for others that are being rejected by discos.

Power failure is just incompetence and greediness on the part of the owners of different discos. Also the centralisation of power generation which is being decentralised by National assembly through initiated bill would make states take responsibility of the power they generate and distribute within their control

The discos are only capitalising on the privatisation agreement that makes them fleece Nigerians of their hard earned money without providing the electricity.

A serious government would have no choice than to revoke their licence and damn the consequence that may arise from litigation

subsidywise18:
LOL...there is.

In 2019, Moghalu stated that power cost N53 per kwh, at which time we were paying N20-30 per kwh market price

PwC issued a report on liquidity in the power sector in 2018 where they put the actual tarrif then at N83

Even then, there is a shortfall because a significant percentage of people are not paying for power.

Also, the subsidy removal that the government did was recent. Meaning it has always been there

I know you are a PDP man, and I agree APC has been seriously incompetent. But the truth is, the problem in the power sector has been that PDP and APC governments and Nigerians have not let it make the money it needs to pay for improvements...because Nigerians are poor, or something.

Just hear yourself, Moghalu says kwh cost 53naira? At what capacity did he say that, as energy expert or as minister for power. Your ignorance is very complex

emmykk:
These Yoruba people think it is only them that has brain...you rule 8 years through PDP then you want to rule 8years through Tinubu or Osinbajo through APC .

Tinubu and Osinbajo are in the race to gag buhari to choose any of them,they are not at any war and there is nothing like betrayal.

Any win for any of them is a win for Tinubu and the south west.

Come June 1st Buhari will choose his anointed one over Tinubu and Osinbajo is not as if they are no qualify or will not do better but for national unity and interest they will both be disappointed.

And should buhari support any of them to get the ticket it will show that not only that the president is a good example of bad leadership but a verify idiot.

Today is Easter Monday, your mood suppose dey better

Ahmed0336:
Provided there's fairness and a level playing ground for all, I don't think anything will happen.

The fairness can only produce either Tinubu or Osinbajo

successmatters:
Osinbajo has zero experience in business. Just a mere salary taking civil service armchair analyst who got lucky to be nominated to the VP position.

A potential disaster like buharri.

What about his law firm? Oh I forgot that just another gala fan Yogo your people do, it can't be regarded as business

VIKTO83:
55% of d delegates are from d North.
35% from South West.
10% from d South East and South-South.

U see why it will be hard for any of we Igbos to get any party's presidential Ticket?

Amechi would have fought gallantly to win at least 5seats in d Rivers Assembly and from there keep about 3 from Bayelsa and team up with Akpabio to have up to 5 in Akwa-ibom.

When u know u will be contesting foe president and those factors will work in your favour, u should have been so active in ur state.
D delegates u are scampering for from South West were brought up and sustained by someone which is Tinubu. So I'm sure u won't expect harvest from a farm u didn't cultivate.
I like Amechi but I'm a realist.

This is an unbiased opinion with deep sense of understanding of the politics of the Primary. A lot don't even no that SE/SS have the least numbers of delegates, so when they talk about consensus they have forgotten that such can only come from a region with high numbers of delegates

Truthisunique2:
they went same day,

I am sure buni and amaechi even arrived together

But buni trying to stay off giving clues of been seen with amaechi so soon would go first

Does this make any sense to you.

Toks2008:
I will not stop reiterating that only an Osinbajo ticket will guaratee victory for APC.

If APC is interested in winning just the primaries they should make Tinubu the flagbearer but if they are interested in winning the general election they should present osinbajo cos he is the only candidate that can guarantee victory for APC.

BUhari knows this and APC leaders know this but the zombies supporting Tinubu are so blind to the fact that there is voters apathy for Tinubu. Nigerians dont want him.

Who in his right senses will support a man who was indicted of money laundering and drug dealing so much that he forfeited $460,000?

A man so enmeshed in corruption and he does it with so much impunity.

A man who has unexplained wealth which is his trade mark and he even has the guts to have a Bullion van in his house on election day.

A man who made his family a strong income generating machine in Lagos thereby making Lagos his empire.

He is not interested in building Nigeria but only wants to fulfill a selfish ambition.

A man who plans to recruit 50 million Nigeria youths into the army to feed them. Cassava and Agbado.

A totally clueless arrogant fellow.

I quite agree with you, Osinbajo is the only candidate that would make Nigerians vote APC any other candidate would just be a walk over for lazy PDP

There are enough to rubbish Tinubu but it's better to keep quiet until after election

Rayzoom:
Foolish goat! Maybe you were not born before 1999 when an ex convict was handed over power from a political party he and his kinsmen were not part of the formation, same thing Ndigbo is asking for today was first accorded to Yoruba who does not merit it and while Igbo candidates on PDP platform stepped down to pacify Yoruba nation for injustice done to them by Nigerian state. Injustice to one is injustice to all but irredeemable fools like you now are ignorant of this.

Why are you people always lying? At what point did Ekweme steps down? Who was roundly defeated at PDP conventional in Jos

ScamHunter:
And how did you conclude that Tinubu is darkness while Osinbajo is light? What instrument did you use to detect and measure their luminosity?

The barometer that picks Osinbajo as Judas and made Tinubu Nigeria Jesus

jyz200:
Error
Who can eliminate a whole vp even Jagaban doesn’t have his kind of security

Character assasination is one form of killing, the killing as used by the president is figurative.

They have started killing his character already

Nonpartisan1:
Yes, Odd favours Osinbajo on Nairaland

I don't respond to blind supporters. If you can't be objective then stay off me mention.

You can tell us how the odds favour your candidate and save us all these emotional songs

abobote:
Osibanjo is not contesting, at the end he will step down for Tinubu.
They are just playing game

Who is stepping down for who?

As at today the odds favour Osinbajo

The tin tire person, if Osinbajo is Judas who come be Jesus na?

Man should not play God. We read Jesus fed 5000 but Nigerian politicians always allocate state resources to themselves as retirement package. Even Judas get shame as he returned all the bribed money given to him.

I swear I never see any Nigeria politician wey holy reach Judas

WhatIf:
Trust any politicians at your own peril.

Politicians will do anything to win election

osinbanjoisaliar:
I too pity you. Orna no know how many enemies orna don collect

There's no enemy anywhere, the only hindrance APC has is PDP but they are not a threat you can call enemy, I ve seen many of their attacks working in favour of APC.

Reno and Kperogi are doing a very poor job just like the way FFK sold APC to Nigerians in 2014. PDP are lazy party that don't deserve to win in 2023

ChoCho54:
Let me get you. Are you saying Tinubu it was who drafted osunbande into the race? As in, it's all planned out by both men?

That's is very likely. The other option is for him getting approval from the president.

Tinubu seems to be a shield for APC candidate such as Osinbajo or anyone APC presents, something has to be done if APC is to retain the president and such thing must be intelligently crafted. I think the big picture is what APC can do to convincingly win the presidency since the electoral law is going to drastically reduced rigging and voters manipulations that calls for all these confusions that are staged to confused the populace

ChoCho54:
So kilo sele gangangan?

Or is their fight spiritual?

What do you mean by spiritual?

Tinubu wanted the ticket, he planted his agents to know his agents within the presidency to know if the would support his ambition, he conducted an independent underground check to know a popular candidate that could win the the presidency, the opinion poll favours Osinbajo, he hinted Osinbajo to get prepared and start consultation, when he finally confirmed that he would not get maximum support, he prompt Osinbajo to declare, with that he stand the chance of retaining his political status.

ChoCho54:
Misleading headline.

But the question nobody is asking is, what really happened between osunbande and his age long master, associate, benefactor and godfather?

At what point did they fall out? Over what? Over the presidency or over political control?

How come nobody noticed any crack in their relationship?

How long has a Cold war been going on? We know some Tinubus core loyalist who fell out with him, but when did he and his son osunbande start their quarrel?

How come even the prying eyes of the press never knew when osunbande moved his polling unit to Ogun state?

Osunbande must have felt very stiffled with undue indulgence and blind loyalty to tinubu. Aregbesola did mention during his fight with Tinubu that they had been according tinubu so many underserved praises and loyalty, still he was insatiable.

Osunbande must have seen how he'll go into obscurity after his tenure if he didn't aspire higher.

Still, there could have been a discussion between the two to agree.

Osunbande must not be president after being VP and Tinubu must not be president considering his age and visible health status. Still both are constitutionally qualified to contest.

But why couldn't the two so called omoluabis agree on a position that would have saved Both this growing campaign of calumny??

Why why why?

At what point did they fall out?

The heading is intentional and not misleading as you think.

You have asked some valid questions over there. At least if there had been any crack between Tinubu and Osinbajo, the transfer of voting polling unit to Ogun state would have alerted Tinubu's camp of the intention therefore raise the question of such moves. But there was nothing like that even while the rumour of Osinbajo was loud, Tinubu camp didn't make any noise.

Was a plan to distract PDP?

MICHEALADEX:
I have said it times without number that politics is a game.

Time is engineering his consultations for Osinbajo and there will be a merger at the end.

VPs are usually consensus candidate with no opposition at the end except they refuse to contest.

But no Nigeria VP has ever been allowed to become Nigeria President, Obasanjo would always stand against Atiku

helinues:
Osinbajo can't declared without Buhari being aware, same as Tinubu

That means Buhari and Tinubu are well briefed and he gave his nod. So why are some people shouting betrayal?

The political atmosphere has been agitated since the day Osinbajo notify the Nigerian public of his intention run for the presidency in 2023.

While many are very excited about his declaration as they see him as the right candidate that is needed at this crucial time in Nigeria's history, with his intelligence, commitment, and dedication to his duty as Vice President who understands Nigeria"s problems, others do not see it that way.

Osinbajo's declaration to them is an affront and a disloyal attitude and betrayal to Tinubu his Godfather who is also eyeing becoming the president of this country.

However, Osinbajo's intelligence has never been in doubt as no one has ever accused him of inordinate ambition for power. If this is the case, what prompted Osinbajo to declare?

Who advised him or encouraged him to take such a move?

There are two people I think could make Osinbajo succumb to such encouragement.

It is either Tinubu or Buhari, who do you think?

Don't mind them just leave them to continue in their folly.

The end of a political career is a disaster - Ttalk

Siwel25:
Reality will soon stare U at the face. The funny thing is, even Osinbajo and Buhari will be banking on Tinubu's structure if they win the primaries. Lolz. The reality is that, there's no more father Christmas and Jagaban's allies do not have another time to pay him back but NOW. U guys said the same in 2015 even when the grassroots was in Buhari's favour, U kept deceiving yourselves. The National Assembly caucus and most swing states are for Asiwaju. No wonder Lawan told Osinbajo - "we wish u Goodluck ".. Just watch!

I don't know how old you are in politics but Tinubu structure ends if he didn't emerge in primary as far as SW is concerned. If Osinbajo emerges, he automatically becomes SW candidate.
Osinbajo doesn't need Tinubu strucure to win in general election
