@4 Play, i never disregarded management as an issue and i just assume that in a common sense disposition when government is building power plants they will also build distribution systems. I never dicounted management or maintenance as an issue but is that really the fundamental issue here? Managing what we don't even have?

Sky Blue:
@Uche2nna, managing 5 Naira and keeping the note clean and all that, is not going to magically give you 10 naira is it? We need more facilities and we need to ,build more of these aggresively because this power problem has to be tackled. It is not about managing something that is not even close to enough to say the least in the first place even if the facilities were running at optimum.

Kobojunkie:
We already addressed managment issue actually. Instead of continuing to kid ourselves and lie with hands folded for Nigerians to magically adopt a maintainance culture, I am down with outsourcing that portion as well. At least until we wake up and decide to start managing our facilities ourselves.

Kobojunkie:
@Uchenna, please expound on your idea that managing 5000MW will cause it to double and that will somehow light up all of Nigeria. I really would like to understand the reasoning involved here.

Sky Blue:
I am still confused, exactly what are we trying to manage? Is it the generating facilities that cannot even give us up to a simple 5000MW? So managing this is the answer to our problems? Maintenance is an issue, but let it not take away from the fact that we need aggressive development and building in the power sector and many other sectors (if not all) in the country. When we build we can maintain. But maintaining a non existent power sector that $16billion was supposedly sank into?

4 Play:
Nigeria's problem is not how to generate electricity but how to manage what we have.

we have sango,oya,obatala,ogunand these are just a few of the GODS theres the various stories of the yoruba cultures and other traditions,don't let me get started because there isnt space enough,the ibo guys are really trying because they are making the best of what they have but its not enough,they have used all the ibo traditios in the movies but u gys don't have that much in the way of traditions,we have more than enough to showcase to the world,why arent they allowed?another example is osun oshogbo,or eyo festival,ojude oba white people come from far and wide to participate,film and enough foreign documentaries,

Kobojunkie:
d) Yes, the oil companies are mostly foreign companies.

Kobojunkie:
I don't believe adding France to the mix or getting companies like GE to supply the Nigerian government with renewable energy technology is going to change anything much.

Kobojunkie:
My point exactly. Instead of us waiting around for the gods of maintainance to bless us with the ability, knowhow and zeal, I say we outsource it to companies, local or international willing to do the job for the right price and do it well.

Kobojunkie:
Well, maybe it is time we borrow from what others who happen to be in our place are doing as well. Instead of sitting and waiting for our schools to churn out minds that can handle such without making us nervous. Others are doing it. I see no reason why we should not at this time since we are in dire need of it.

Kobojunkie:
Nuclear again, is not about what you personally think of it. Fact remains, Nigeria has been looking at it and I am glad the president is stepping out towards it already considering we already know of african nations that have been living with it for over a decade now and are not complaining. Like I mentioned earlier, we already have some of the world's nuclear experts in France who are willing to help and if we pay them well, we can get energy asap. I think the initiative started by the Kwara government, bringing in experts to help where we have failed can be applied to a great deal in the nuclear area as well. Countries around the world are doing this. Even Syria and Iran and I see no reason why Nigeria should consider to stand in the corner shivering when the word NUCLEAR is mentioned, considering the alternatives do not seem as promising.

HR.hotness:
the idea that there is no such thing as peak oil IS the propaganda,,, and America is running out fast, don't forget that they have ceased to be able to meet their demands a long time ago,,, as the worlds "super power" being dependent on another country for oil is very undesirable. I'm sure if they found new reserves they'd happily say good bye to "teddy" and "Rudolf"

Dont knw if Nigeria is ready for nuclear energy, it requires alot of time and money to build and develop a nuclear reactor, plus there is the problem of storage and proper disposal of the waste radioactive uranium,,, when we can't properly manage common oil pipelines, u want them to handle radio active isotopes

Keep the suggestions/opinion coming. I'm very grateful.

We did set rules about not sleeping over n visit should not exceed past 10pm , however, we broke it. God spoke through both of us during intense prayer that we have to stop going to each others places till we r mature enough to understand why God wants relationship to be holy.

About saying my man is a hypocrite, i don't know about that. He used to touch me and that was because he wanted me to learn to say no, which i did tried hard n he scored me 6/10 anyways i gave him the opportunity to do stuff with me which he didnt want to do but he did it bcuz he loves me n he thinks i will go for an outsider. so my guy not trusting me is that, he thinks that if another guy is trying , with me, i will find it hard to say 'no'. But i know that i will say no to other guys.

What am i so vulnerable? is it because i've had sex before? isn't it better for me to have someone like my boyfriend that cares a lot, virgin n he's ready to help whenever i'm ready.? he wants me to decide on my own bt he's ready to help.

anyways i will take some of your advise on board and I know that God will continue to help me overcome my biggest fear. I will sure put satan to shame

* He did say that we will get marry in few years bt i don't want us to rush into anything.

I hope this is not a tribal war[b] IGBO Vs Yoruba[/b]? Such thing happens everywhere in the world, let's tackle issues the way it is.

4 Him:
If your girlfriend is a bit weak in terms of controlling her emotions, the right thing to do is not to go threatening her

4 Him:
i'm sure when she kisses him he responds abi.

4 Him:
perhaps that was a bit harsh but the boyfriend is behaving as if he's got ice running in his veins.

D-reloaded:
He allowed her to sleep over in his bed. How is that not hypocritical?

4 Him:
There is nothing wrong with you. You're young, you're sexually mature . . . why are you and your man surprised at your sexual urges?
This is one of the dangers of long relationships, if you both know the other is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with then get married and stop burning with desires that you can legitimately fulfill.

Your boyfriend is being the typical christian hypocrite who believe that feeling Hot is a sin. Its not! Its a natural reaction to someone you're deeply attracted to.
This man better snap back to reality, i'd prefer an expressive woman like you to a log of wood anyday.
