But you are hoarding it just for Nigerian to suffer

A SS person

anytexy:
Honestly, I didn't understand your point. I an Igbo man not IPOB. I detest Nnamdi Kanu method of freedom fighting. I am never his supporter. So, know what you are saying. Peter Obi is my candidate any time any day, but the truth is that he can not stand Tinubu. So, PDP need Atiku as a match. I am a Nigerian I don't know those ones your talking..

You can see how your hatred toward a Yorubaman from a region that has been your greatest ally, the one that embraces you and give you economic advantage to flourish in their region, the one that even voted your sons into into state and federal assembly, the one that appoint your sons and daughter into executive position in their region.

Tell me, since you know your preferred candidate Peter Obi stands no chance against Tinubu, how is it convenient for you to now prefer a Fulani man all the way from Adamawa to help you defeat Tinubu you just hate for no reason?

Is it not irrational to hate Tinubu who has been good to Igbo people but prefer Atiku whose only link to Igbo is the he married Igbo?

Why do you want Atiku to defeat Tinubu instead of Tinubu to defeat Atiku?

Your line of thought is that of IPOB and not innocent and genuine Igbo people who doesn't exhibit hatred for no reason

Eriokanmi:
I can never be igbo, God forbid. Not that I hate igbo but God doesn't like cheating. Only in fairness would we move forward as a nation, except we're just deceiving ourselves

What is fairness, that Jonathan a minority Southerner became president before Igbo, then it should automatically become Igbo turn but not the turn of Bini, Itshekiri, Isoko, Ibibio, Urhobo and other ethnic group in the South

AchalugoNwa:
God bless you.

I love Yorubas so much
I mean real omoluabis.
there's this yoruba guy called wese90 that gives us free escrow on this platform.
I love that so much to the extent that I won't hesitate to kill for him or harm anyone that finds his trouble.
Infact I can catch bullet for him.
I've never seen such a beautiful soul like him even among so called family sef.
God bless him.

The veil is gradually fading from your eyes but you need to open at least 100thread to beg Yoruba and Nigerians whom you have abused, cursed and vilified.

Truthisunique2:
I am not igbo, I believe presidency shouldn't be dashed to anyone in his house

My point is that for the purpose of belonging east should have been the right group to get presidency

But they are not getting it because they are not doing their part which is having a plan

If Jonathan a minority from the south could could become the president before Igbo a major ethnic group, why insisting it's Igbo turn now, what about, Bini, itshekiri, Urhobo A
Anang and other ethnic groups in the South, are they not as entitled to it the way Igbo are?

Look such entitlement would be the undoing of the Igbo because such comment provoke other ethnics in the south and will eventually lead to Igbo being isolated politically

anonimi:
Reasonable, wise old man he is definitely.

If you like praise him from now till heaven, the Yoruba have woken up due to your unprovoked hate and derogatory comment against Yoruba who embraced you fathers and mothers after the war and even allowed you to contest for elective posts in SW.

The madness you guys displayed against the Yoruba after 2011because of small power given to you by Jonathan still remain a huge surprise to the Yoruba people.

Nairaland is filled with such thread and comments where Yoruba were daily mocked and abuse. You have cross the line politically and by the time you cross it economically then you would know the difference between Osu and Osun

PrinceOfLagos:
Its the turn of the igbos

The yorubas know these but only Tinubu and his greed failed to see these. The reason he's been disgraced everytime he tries to run faster than his shadows according to Rauf Aregbesola.

You will soon eat your vomit

To say Igbo deserve the 2023 presidency is true but also other tribes equally deserve it. When you narrow 2023 presidency to only Igbo extraction, it creates rejection and opposition from other tribes in the South and in extension from other region. If you claim Igbo are major ethnic group in Nigeria, you have to ask yourself whether they have majority in major political parties that could win the presidency in 2023.

There are three major classifications that is used depending on who is concerned in grouping political region.
1. 3 region grouping at independence
2. 2 region grouping during colonial rule
3. 6 geopolitical grouping during military era.

Sadly none of this groupings favour Igbo as a distinct tribe and I would explain this.

The 3 region grouping which can be refer to as Eastern region have other ethic groups who have equal stake in the presidency when 3region grouping is used.

When 2 region grouping is used, Igbo have to contend with Yoruba and other ethnic group from the south.

In the case of 6 geopolitical grouping, this seems to be the only one that favours Igbo as a distinct tribe to get the presidency.

However, neither Nigerian Constitution nor any of the favourite party has 6 geopolitical zoning arrangement in it's constitution, the only party that has any zoning arrangement is PDP which uses the North/South Zoning arrangement.

South West didn't threaten Nigeria to field a Yoruba man in 1999, their major canvass was an end to military rule and restoration of June 12 1993 election won by their son, Abiola which was a legitimate demand to an average Nigerian.

It is unfortunate to see Igbo have alienate themselves while being in the majority as well as in major party with high stake of winning presidency. The unfolding events penultimate election involving the northerner and southerner when Igbo became aggressive to her major neighbour and other region which later culminated into verbal attack against the Yoruba and the Fulani is a mistake that would take a long time to forget. This was caused by needless book of Chinue Achebe and Kanu's initial verbal attack against the Yoruba in particular and Nigeria in general. Again there are more records of Igbo political leaders open disdain against the SW people while SW politicians have been more careful

It is unfortunate to see the young generation of Igbo towing the same part especially on social media thereby waking the consciousness of other region to reciprocate the hate some of them are dishing out.

As it stands, it is easier for Yoruba to align with the north to get the presidential ticket than for Igbo to align with SS to get the ticket.

Igbo need to start promoting regional interest such as restructuring, devolution of power, financial autonomy, state police and other common interest but their recent stand on VAT and special status for Lagos is a wrong signal to show if there could ever be any collaboration

Truthisunique2:
There is no state in the east Abiola didn't get above 40%, he even won Anambra, just as tofa lost even in some states in his north

Abia 41% Enugu 44% Imo 44% this is more like the same voting pattern south west gives in election since 2015


Mind you this is the same south east Ojukwu didn't even get 25% in most eastern states against obj

What is your point exactly, that Igbo should be dashed ticket of Amala and Ewedu party, after so much bigotry and hatred oozing daily from your type. Look your foolish attack against Yoruba people will continue to awakening the consciousness of some of us who have sympathy for your people because of some good detribalised Igbo who are different from these sets of online IPOB

Let's see who get freedom first between Igboho and Kanu.
While some are doing underground work others are on internet shouting and chestbeating

AchalugoNwa:

shiiiiiii

Continue to cancel people's post, just the way Abaribe cancelled any hope of Igboman becoming president in 2023, but remember to cancel your destiny as that is what you are destined to do

Burruchaga71:

anytexy:
Unintelligent people mocking Abaribe. Who in Igbo ( south East) land can win presidency for PDP. Who will vote for him from North with the agitation for Biafra. It only a musilem northerner that can stand Tinubu. PDP need power back. This not time to experiment with a south Easterner.
That can be done when they have succeeded in getting presidency.

I am an Igbo man (nwa afor) but the truth must be told. I can jolly well tell you that in times of equity North have noth completed their 8 years..if you know you know

You guys are special breed.

You spent so much times on Tinubu and Yoruba without having one idea of how to win the party ticket of PDP you slaved for only for your spokesman who made so much noise about Fulani oppression against your people now endorsing same Fulani man.

What makes Atiku different from Buhari if not for party difference, you hate Buhari because of APC, but you want the party to dash you it's ticket.

Where is your support for Anyim
Where is your support for Peter Obi
Where is your support for Amaechi,
An average SS can now see through your gimmick that your candidate is Fulani man from PDP, and not your noise of SE/SS candidate.

How do you expect any southerner to trust you with their support?

Those that are not close to Saraki would always think he is a new breed politician, but his machiavellian tendency is dangerous than that of Maradona, he is so mean and cruel, very selfish and cunny

Why are you this confused

chaloskyx:
North Hydro and solar
SE Gas and Coal
SS Gas and Solar
SW Gas and Solar

Remove coal in as much as I would want Nigeria to utilise it, they don't have the gut to do against their master

Papertrail11:
Political campaigns does cost money and I mean tons of it, the fliers, posters campaign jingles are all propelled by financial capital regardless of whether you win or not.


Right from the day you declare intent to vie for office, you may aghast by the pressure by your campaign team on how much you need to spend, raise to have a successful campaign. Let me just put it clearly everyone wants something, from the day you put up your campaign poster to get the needed publicity to sway the minds of the electorate.


Power to the people they say, the electorate can either love or hate you there is no in between. The popular American series "House of Cards", has given us a scope on the inner dealings of politicians in the political marketplace and words like corruption are being rephrased with assorted lingo like lobbying, its usually a case of what can you give me for what so as to propell my campaign to the next level.


It is either you are self funded or you are being pushed by special intrest group/godfathers/cabal which you remain at the beck of their call like a linux command terminal. We never really ask what really becomes of politicians and their mental state of mind who after spending these millions, billions still walk and smile like normal human beings after flushing money down the drain on what could have been channelled into playing sure 2odds or channeled into stocks, an SME or something. It is why I am of the school of though that the cost of political campaign should be pegged or controlled to a particular amount but that's a story for another day.


Oke Umukhoro who is running for the HOR position in Delta state posted on Twitter a while back and said one needed to have atleast N50m cash to run a successful HOR campaign in Nigeria, with inflation I may humbly adjust that money to N54m. I also believe you can you a successful campaign up North Nigeria with slightly less and win.


All in all:

Politics in Nigeria, na MEN dey run am.
If you never chop belleful, no go think am.


What do you guys think?

There's money involved but your good will matters. I am deep in this since 1999, if you are really interested, I can guide you

joey150:
Until that "research" pays off we have to settle for the more reliable and feasible option.

Solar energy is just not not feasible on a very large scale. You would always have to store that energy some where. The storage has always been the problem.

With Gas and Hydro power, you can either ramp up or ramp down to meet demand and they can continue working all year long.

Oh, you don't know power generated through turbine and had also suffer setback while transmitting and distributing? There are temperature at which step Down transformers could operate, the incessant power failure you experience in your community is partly due to this, yet the world over do not term it unreliable.

The point is that to achieve uninterrupted electricity, the state or fed govt must harness all power generation where they have economic advantage. So, solar is very much needed in this modern world

joey150:
The problem with solar has always been that there is no "buffer" source of energy.

When appliances directly take energy from the panels, what happens when the sun suddenly dies down in the afternoon or it suddenly gets cloudy? Do they go off or what?

All the countries championing solar power don't use it as a main source of energy. They only use it to make up or complement what they already have.

The bigger your energy demands the more unsustainable solar energy becomes.

It's great for small to medium scale use. But it's still very limited.

Read my comment carefully, I said electricity mix is the solution to lasting and affordable electricity. Since majority of people that needs electricity falls within the small to medium scale, that makes solar power a more efficient especially during the day where major work activities takes place.

Hydro, gas turban and wind can be added to provide the buffer at night.
For heavy duty operation, diesel and petrol would complement gas and hydro power.

helinues:
States with high concentration of Industries have the high potentials of becoming strong energetically

No, state with the will power

gaddafe:
It's like you didn't get the message I passed. If the states are to implement? What will they be implementing? Is it creating companies that generates power? If this is the case, then it's going to be a wasted effort as that is not currently the problem in the power sector. The question I'm asking you the Op which I'm not sure of is whether the power sector was removed from the exclusive list? Or was it just only approved that state should generate power? If the latter was the case then it's a wasted effort. If it's the former then we might see something new.

From what I read, States have been granted power to distribute apart from generating, you can cross check to ascertain it's veracity

mrvitalis:
Imo was the first state to have an ipp so relax

You have landed again with your bias opinion, go and Goggle Enron project during the first tenure of Tinubu as Lagos governor

udele1:
Solar i believe will require battery storage. And will hardly store enough for huge energy demand.

With the current development of blind cells and power mix that can be fix. Many appliances can be converted to DC that would tap it's current directly from panel during the day while other mix would take over at night

Delete point 5
Electricity isn't cheap anywhere
It could even be more expensive due to disadvantaged economics of scale now

Unless if what I use is no longer electricity. More cheaper, stable, reliable and lasting.
Don't buy the dummy Nigerian government and PHCN is selling, they only giving excuse for their incompetence

Enter their city and stop disturbing us with your movement. nonsense

CoronaVirusPro:
Definitely Lagos!

she has the finance!

It's not about the finance but the will to do, don't let anyone deceive you that power generation within a state is beyond that state capacity.

Any state in Nigeria can achieve it in , 5years if priorities

Invictuse:
Why work overtime to show you are a fool ?!

Sucker punch.

I ve never seen anyone as obsessed and passionate in telling himself lies such as this

The freestuff guy above me dey degrade everyday new epistle added to the previous spam

I guess he hasn't realised that Kwara gov don officially leave the camp of druggie "if he was ever in it"

For him to be used by Bumi to pair Ovie Agege and ratify the zoning swap arrangement which druggie is still kicking against

Is it not strange how you stay in your Okija shrine and know everything that happens within APC camp.

We all know what FreeStuffsNG stands for, what other APC with interest in their candidates stand for. But no one know what you stand for neither know who you promote other than postings 1million posts in a day that doesn't benefit any candidate not your region

Nyanmiridunce:
Let's say you're right on this, why did you say ibos voted for abiola when it was obvious ibos voted Bashir Tofa?

The few Igbo that voted Abiola did that because Yoruba's demand was legitimate, but I don't see how issue of maginalisation or 'it is our turn' would be enough ground to convince Nigerians to cede presidency to Igbo, after all all Nigerians suffer one form of maginalisation or the other, and when you talk about tribe, you have many tribes in the South who are yet to produce the president

Charleys:
He was a lawyer and he was doing his job representing his client.
I hear people say these things.

The same people who stacked babangida's speech writer when they knew that he was representing babangida.
Please don't use lawyers to add to your point it's not right just face the topic.

I can use anyone from any tribe to represent me in a law court.

You have been civil enough in your presentation and I think you deserve a civil response but it's going to be a bitter truth although it may hurt you if you reflect on it would be good to your region.
