Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere

Though this's your personal opinion, but Jonathan was in power and position do make all those changes you pointed out. But, he didn't!.

You people talk so much about GEJ, is he a law maker or a legislator? What is the stand of d opposition on this new development?

Tolexander:
what about their mum, what did she bag out or is she not part of the family?

The first class gene in the children is definitely paternal!

May be she graduated with a weak first class

Second branch go soon show... Wafi tins, see shopleft dey vess, abeg park well... Wafi hailings, tweletwele we dey go!

Proudly a Wafarian!

Second branch go soon show... Wafi tins, see shopleft dey vess, abeg park well... Wafi hailings, tweletwele we dey go!

Mumu pride
Aregbeshola (Osun state governor) only to mention few is a polytechnic graduate.

Even Bishop Oyedipo Of Winners Chapel is a polytechnic graduate, read architectural Technology from the Kwara State Polytechnic

Emasel:
I doubt if you are really a Deltan, even if you are I'm quite certain you are Itsekiri.

Hahahahahaha... Open your eyes and see! I'm from Owheologbo in Isoko North LGA. I don't comment just because I felt like commenting, but I comment bcuz I'm a realistical person. Name those that should get d award and let's critically analyze their performance. Your mine is so narrow... Once again, add a brake to your tongue and an acceleration to your brain

giwah:
I think the only way out of this is to remove completely the subsidy, the same was done for diesel, we got used to it and diesel scarcity became a thing of the past. If this incoming government can channel all that money into fixing our refineries and building more, we will be just fine.

This is one of the best comment I've read this week. You see! The Nigerians are even the problem, some don't even know the meaning of subsidy removal and how if can grow the economy and shut-out cabals, all they know best is to shout "let the president resign"

My fear for this new government that will rule for the next four years are hypocrate, they are the same people who destructively criticize this current government most especially on d isssue of subsidy. They never supported any good decision by this current govt, all they do is to criticize without providing any solution

God help us!

This man has done well. You don't need to be a newspaper governor before one sees your achievement... I'm a proud Deltan and I bodly stand to say "He is an achiever".

He might not have performed very well in all the sector, but has done remarkably well. I think when I see a development, I recognise one

Proudly Deltan and proudly a Nigerian!

theoctopus:
This was the last flood where River Niger overflowed its bank and rampaged many cities in Nigerian water ways. Did Atlantic ocean also cause the Iyana-Ipaja picture? You are doing a nice job of indicting APC more. Thank you!

That picture posted there, the flood menace actually took place 3yrs ago and it was not a state problem. So No nobidy should blame thise govt for that

Is that the case of Lagos too?

Please change the changer!
Godbless Nigeria!

quixotic:
u honestly don't deserve a reply, but i am benevolent. Times it by the inflation rate and the value of the naira. But that is besides the point if you have any grey matter which i sincerely doubt you do,you would know i made a comparism.a graduate earns 20k,an uneducated criminal earns millions a month. And the sad thing is ì am almost certain you are a graduate unemployed or under employed, and the beauty is those who want to salvage this country out number your kinds who are cronically parochial. God help you

In the niger delta were I come from, many of the youth go into acquiring of skills like Extreme, pipeline wielding, valve mechnics, etc. This same youth will never get job except he/she know a yoruba or an hausa man or a contractor

In my area, we have the IDSL and NPDC, non of this company even accept an IT letter from you when you are not connected. The people you see there doing their ITs are mainly from the North and West. What about the staffs in those oil and gas companies, you hardly can find a direct staff from the niger delta

Non of the oil and gas companies have their headquarters in the region, their employment is either from Lagos, Kaduna or Abuja and you don't see any injustice to that

Injustice is when you are neglected, cheated, oppressed and stripped-off your possessions. I know of an hausa guy who read 'Islamic study' and he is working in NNPC, NGC precisely

Godbless Nigeria!

tmanuelle:
I suppose you didn't think before posting your comment, so I will help you.

Osinbajo is a pastor and a politician with a registered political party, Oritshejafor is a pastor and ofcourse, a sitting CAN president.

The former has all the justification to b apolitical while still winning souls for Christ. But I do not think being the CAN president is enough credentials for the latter to be apolitical until he becomes joins a registered political party, he should rather face the work of God, with a pure heart.

That was what he posted. You should understand his point by now.

I'm not a fan of APC, neither am I a lover of PDP, but I am of d believe that sentiments and decent reasoning capacity should not be mixed.

God bless Nigeria.

Godbless your reasoning

Blitz888:
Bro they all don't speak ikwere..
Did you miss the part where I said the Ahaoda people speak Epkeye?
Omoku, Etche, Opobo, Ndoni and Andoni all don't speak ikwere... Do your research.

So with what you are saying Ahaoda is Ibo?

lomprico:
What is ur tribe? There is no tribe like south-south.
By the way udeh is an igbo name.

The problem I have with some people in NL they think they know all, not knowing that they know nothing! Udeh is not only a name in the Ibo land. I'm from the Isoko ethnic group in Delta state and Udeh means 'The native cream' , I means the one made from palm kernel

Blitz888:
In case you don't know your Rivers well may I use this opportunity to enlighten you and the ignorant swathe you're delibrately misleading.
Etche,Omoku, ahoada, opobo, andoni, ndoni all speak dfferent forms of the Igbo language as it is evident today in their names.
It is common place today to find people from this areas with Igbo names like UCHE, ODILI, CHIBUDOM NWUCHE, CHIZOBA,EMEKA,CHIKA etc
Notice I deliberately mentioned the full name of a one time speaker of the lower legislative house who happen to hail from Ahoada in Rivers State and speaks Epkeye which is a 'corrupted' version of the Igbo language.
*modified *

May be you did not read my statement well, I said the Ikweres. Those tribe you just mentioned now, which language do they speak if not Ikwere. Are the Ikwere people or are they the only tribe in River state?

cheruv:
the SS was created by ohaneze during the '95 constitutional conference.that creation was the basis of abacha's six state creation the next year.
the SS also has 40% of the Igbo landmass which are in these states
1]Anioma
2]Rivers
3]AKS
4]CRS
ohaneze should integrate Anioma into the SE and demand that rivers return oyigbo and ONELGA to Abia and Imo respectively.
Igbos are always their brother's keeper

Who told you that Rivers are Ibos? The only tribe out of all d tribes in Rivers that speaks like the ibos are the Ikwere people. So Rivers are not ibos!

I remember the first time I came to the West, anybody that refers to me uses the word 'omo ibo ni'. It takes some level of explanation to actually let them know that I'm not an Ibo person that I'm from the south-south

joromi:
When you get the job, come tell us...
Don't talk about some interview a million other people get at the same time..

Getting a job is not a problem to me... It depends on how you view life, I might also decide not to work
I didn't go to school because I want to work, I went because I want to be educated, beside you don't know me, so mind what you say!

aresa:
To start with Fashola is showing us daily that power generation and transmission is not rocket science or anything to be looked upon like can't do or can't touch. Nothing is impossible if you have the will, determination, desire and sense of duty to carry out your objectives..

1. In the history of Nigeria, Fashola remains the only Nigerian leader to guarantee uninterrupted power supply to state infrastructures and institutions.

2. Lagos state transmits generated electricity via 300 klm state owned underground transmission cable. No state in Nigeria has such dedicated capacity. Bypassing the obsolete National transmission grid to maximize productivity and efficiency is almost half of the work.

3. Lagos state commissioned energy academy to train power technicians to operate and manage the state's power and energy infrastructure including oil and gas. No state in Nigeria has such capacity or institution.

4. Lagos state schools and health institutions are already going solar, meaning more public institutions are getting off the National grid and also reducing the state's carbon footprint.

5. Lagos state manufactures transformers to support power generation and transmission within Lagos state. no other entity in Nigeria has such capacity.

6. The best practice in Nigeria is never to send what you generate with your own money into the National grid just to disappear with zero benefits to the funding local taxpayers. There's just no sense and wisdom here. Lagos state is able to guarantee uninterrupted power supply to state institutions because they manage and send their generated power via their own cable system. They get every MW with nothing lost or mismanaged.

Our transmission system is old, degraded and almost obsolete, we don't get everything we feed into it.


7. If any government in Nigeria can do it, it's Lagos state. They built the first IPP in Nigeria and if our mean spirited and shortsighted FG have left them alone to proceed with their bold and pioneering plan and not sabotage them like they did, you won't be here today questioning their capacity to power Lagos state.

With over 300 klm of underground cable transmission network already in the ground, tested and functioning as designed, with public institutions like hospitals, power works, schools, courts, secretariat and other state institutions off the grid, the work is almost done.

Hmm... intersting! So why has he not stabilize lagos state in terms of power supply?
May be you should go and read about an interconnected system or national grid, it operation and advantages. Before you comment cos you just said that the governor by-passed the national grid

Also read about optional power system operation which you claim the lagos government is currently operating on nd please don't fail to compare it with the interconnected system of operation cos I can't just start explaining all that to you now! Just a little research will get you really informed!

crownprince102:
Why are you this clueless..... Do you know the number of graduate coming out of universities a year. How many of them can benefit from those crap you listed, not even 5%. Some of them are even suppose to be done by the state government and not the federal government.


Let me educate your ignorance, job do not need to create "direct job" for graduate rather job opportunity". The Government should ensure their is a rise in standard of living of the people by ensuring their is "economic development" not the "economic growth" we 've been experiencing
since 1960. They are two different terms, economic growth has nothing to do with the lives of the common man rather than the rich.


If their is a rise in standard of living not when the minimun wage is not up to $100. If the civil service get a better pay and their is "price control" of goods by the government. More establishment will rise due to the high marketability of goods in the country which will led to employment for the youth and some among them could create an establishment which will give jobs to others.

Please summarize your point, cos the govt I know has been able to create some enabling environment for investors to come and invest
How many of those youth are evn skillful? I'm also a youth and so don't blame the govt for everything as if the government control your life

Nobody is saying we've gotten there yet, but I must tell you that we are moving forward as a country as every govt has it challenges. But the way you people shout on social media looks as if the government is not doing anything, which is not true!

Godbless Nigeria!

crownprince102:
Jobs to your doorstep? No country does that. Nigeria economy lacks giving job opportunity to youth.

Nigerian minimun wages is less than 100 dollars a month and a country like zinbabwe receives over 300 dollars a month.

With 100 dollars for civil servant. How marketable will a goods be if an establishment is created by a Graduate. 70% of Nigerian lived with less than a dollar daily.

I guess you should be more informed before quoting me next time. Thanks

I see... FADAMA, YOUWIN and SURE-P. If I don't know of the rest two much, I know about the FADAMA project which some persons I knew made use of that opporturnity

Since you're very informed, why didn't you atleast write a proposal to try (What a mentality). May be you should list a country where the government employs almost all the youths!

Be enlightened and get informed... Information rules the world. Even those youth shouting for employment are not even employable, some can't even pass an amptitude test not to talk of participating in the oral interview. If one is not qualified for a job, should the govt be blamed?

Jobs are everywhere, come-out from your complain zone so that you can see! That was what an engineer told me in 2012 and today, I'm happy for that one word

So many youths are looking for jobs with a pass grade, some student even thinks farming is for the illitrates. How many youth looking for jobs today even have informations about recruitment, many lacks informations and feels or believes that everything is politics

Like I said earlia, come out from your complain group of company, open yours eyes and see!
Godbless Nigeria!

nonjebose:
In as much as I enjoyed your dissertation above,I wish to point out some things to you. I am not making a case for those governors mentioned in the list. The Teaching Hospital you gloriously mentioned was built by Ibori. The Sapele stadium was built by Ibori. Many of those roads constructed in rural areas were done by NDDC and DESOPADEC. The only legacy he has is the Mass Transit scheme. The scholarship scheme has since become a conduit for corruption.

May be you should check the year the teaching hospital and the stadium was built and commissioned thank God for the internet now. Appreciate Good things when you see one!

Those governors on that list has not done anything exceptional, one was even saying Oshomole. I taught you will talk above the standard of the primary and secondary schools. The university school fees, the sport, workers salaries and the rest, but thank God you admitted that of the DELTA TRANSIT.

Like I said earlia, we are suppose to know the basis of this governors on that list and mind you, there is No state where corruption is not at a high level, infat Lagos state is rated the highest in africa

Let's know what true transformation is and not been a government of paper tiger (Newspapers and propaganda)
Godbless Nigeria!

pendy79:
I'm a marine engineer by training so would like to know the context you are asking.

Whether for argumentative purpose or educative?

"Fashola is saying Allow me handle it, I will perform what you think is impossible". That was some of your statement above. I only ask the question to know whether you actually have a deep insight on the generation, transmission and distribution of power.

From my experience in this field, power is not like the road construction, it's a very rigorous process. If Lagos state generate their power, then what happens if the system short-down as a result of fault, variation of load, transient disturbance and rest?

My I tell you that the generating station in hydro-electric generating station in Kaingi does not implies that what is generated in that station is even used in that state.

The best practice in power system generation is to send what you're generating to the grid or nation control centre for proper Efficency, flexibilty and reliability.

What Fashola is saying is just a mere fallacy, professional, he is saying trash. One should have asked him is plans for power system stability of Lagos state. Don't be deceive, they have No plans!

Godbless Nigeria!

dein77:
Thank you. My electrical engineer friend also told me the same thing. It's almost impossible to generate power enough drive Nigeria in 4 years. Don't think any nation has achieved such a fit!

Power generation isn't like road construction where in a matter of days/weeks roads are designed and built. Bro, you know these things better than I do.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of the masses believe EVERY packaged lie designed to deceive them while ridiculing the current administration.

Buhari's mouthed integrity is bogus. Let me stop here.

Thanks, fellow Nigerian.

For one to generate that amount of power, he must be to build not only many generating station but also transmission station and the distribution stations are well. All the electrical components such as the transformers, circuit breakers and the rest have to be changed. So, is a very rigorious process.

Those countries they compare Nigeria to, have a well structured power system planning from the on-set of creating such nation. Nigeria also had a well-structured power system plan too, but was neglected along the line since some 30years ago. The hydro-electric power station in kaingi, the shiroro, the ogorode, Egbim power stations were not constructed for over 160 million people and loads, but was constructed for few millions of people living in Nigeria during the 70s and 80s. The military people and some so-called leaders threw away our long and medium term plans for the power sector and also refuses to maintain the already constructed ones.

GEJ is the only president that had a new power structure for the country and also started to bring the sector out from decay. I must tell you, this is not an easy task. As a personel in this field, I think I own it a duty to enlighten Nigerians on this when the opporturnity present itself.

Godbless Nigeria!

As a power system engineering student, I laughed when he said he will generate 20,000 MW in 4 years. This is absurd and shows a very high degree of illitracy!

I love him for his integrity, unforturnately integrity don't rule, but visions, determination with perseverance and patience does

Godbless Nigeria!

Kingspin:
Do we have people unemploye in Lagos? Why cant Fashola employ them since it easy to do overnite. Do we still have bad roads? etc. Wake up to realistic even Obama cannot change Nigeria in 4 or 8years and that is the fact. We have had the same system for almost 50years and yet no results. We must change that old system. Support the national confab very well if u know what it means and that is the restructing am talking about in this Nigeria. Dont be afraid support it today.

True talk... Nigeria is our only country, nobody will come to change it for us. As much as people are shouting and crying for change, this same opposition party went against the national confab. In a civilized nation, the opposition party engage in a constructive criticism and not destructive. The impact of opposition parties in civilized nations are very obvious and widely felt, they also stand-out as major advisers to the incumbent government.

No president has ever succeeded in organising a national confab as this last one. This is the real change... change that is seen not of propagandas. Our aim as a country should be the implimentation of the recommendation of the confab

Godbless Nigeria!

pendy79:
I think you probably need education and enlightenment of the Law governing Power generation in Nigeria.

It is solely within the purview of the Federal Government of republic of Nigeria and no single state government can generate more than a certain amount without sending it to the National Grid.

Fashola is saying Allow me handle it, I will perform what you think is impossible.

Tinubu did same with ENRON but NEPA said he cannot go ahead without following their guidelines.

It's like you're an engineer. Please what is the meaning of 'national grid' or an interconnected system? I also guessed you know the benefit!

crownprince102:
And who should we blame for their joblessness.
You can clearly see the statistics of unemployed graduate at the immigration recruitment last year.
Do you remember the casualties involved?

If you are still in school remember you will graduate to join them. Do you know the numbers of pple who already lost their jobs due to fall in naira.

Can you tell me the statistic of under-employed graduate in the county?

Those pple in the farm and market know the hardship they are going through. They want change and You and your dumb master are aware of this.

Its a pity Jonathan's supporters castigate him more when defending him

I'm still in school and job interview everywhere even to some of my friends.
The problem about Nigerian youth is that dey are not enlighthened or informed and when you're not inform, you will be deformed and when you're deformed, you cannot perform!

Many of these people like you complains too much, this makes them not to seeing opporturnities around them
Their mentallity is that there're No job in Nigeria... Please be informed, nobody will bring job to your door step!

olatunji21:
C dis Clubless guy.. All your mate dy Europe dy hustle for their club nay team, u dy here dy play politics...Nonsense

Yobo is not even ashame of himself, as worst as Ferdinand is at d moment he's stil playing on @QPR, When Clubs in Turkey reject u then there's a problem...

Who is Joseph Yobo's mate that is still playing in the EPL, Laliga, etc.
For one to play football more than 15years of football is not a joke!

What is the point of Buhari staying two(2) weeks outside the country resting just because of campaign
He refuse to tell the masses how he will bring the change he is clamoring for, he shuns every debate he was invited to

When President Jonathan came to OAU he was driven away by the so-called wise student, but thesame students invited Prof Osibanjo, he refuse to come and address the nigerian student after waiting for several hours in the hall. It was a great slap on the face!

What is the change we all are clamouring for, who is the agent of change?
Is this government really that bad? If this is America will Buhari not participate in election debate?

Let's be a patriotic Nigerian.
I'm not a political fanatic, I don't belong to any party!
I'm just a Nigerian!

nonjebose:
My friend what infrastructure are you talking about? I doubt whether you live in Delta. He has spent 8 yrs in power,yet the major cities in delta can hardly boast of any COMPLETED projects done in his tenure. What has the Delta beyond Oil translated to? He cannot,should not and must not be on that list

Please, name the governor on that list that in his time Built one of the best Teaching Hospital in Africa. I'm from Owhelogbo, Isoko North of Delta state, hardly, there's No road in my community that's not well constructed, infact even those place that there are No houses, roads have been constructed to those areas just to open those new site.

Talk about the delta transit (Both on land and Water), Can you beat it with any of those governors mentioned there. Have you heard of the new constructed stadium in Sapele? What about the health sector, please visit any of our health centres for enlightenment.

What about the developement of grass root sport. He was even named the sport governor of the year
Delta State tertiary institution school fees is one of the cheapest in Nigeria: In Delsu they pay between 30-35K/section. The govt also award scholarship to student even to P.HD level (I've been a beneficiary of that). What about the infrastructural development of our primary and secondary school? Our state teachers are one of the well-paid teachers in Nigeria, ask!

Check the developement of some towns in delta state (Don't forget that delta state has more developed towns than most of the governor's state on that list) and compare with those governors listed above.

If you want me to be specific in the naming of this project, then you should tell me the criterias for listing those governors out!

As much as I agree that there is No perfect government, I also acknowledge real developement!

Proudly Deltan!

http://deltastateweb.com

My question is: Was the documentary a mere lie to damage Tinubu or was it a fact in oder to change the changer?

I watched the documentary, there was a part that got my notice “That Tinubu is the highest House owner in Nigeria going by the statistic I.E, He has the highest tenant so far in Nigeria.

Dr Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan. Governors dat can perform as president are not known on d passages of newspapers, but d infrastructure and the policies of d such govt does. Check d 'Delta Beyond Oil'. Please b4 u comment make sure u've done some travelling to oda states. Proudly Deltan!
