^ No I can't. I think the peak distributed should be about 4500MW while the peak generated is about 5500MW. Jonathan was actually being modest in claiming 5000MW.

^^ Let me score you on "Reading Comprehension". I'll be generous and score you 20%, very poor indeed.
Now what's the quantum of power generated in Nigeria as a whole? that would be a little over 4500MW, do you think Rivers state alone enjoys 560MW roughly a fifth of the nations total power generation and are still battling outages? of course not.
What you failed to comprehend and what I highlighted in that article proves Rivers state generates up to 560MW but have been unable to evacuate most of it into her grid for distribution due to lack of capacity by the PHCN. The state ultimately intends to generate 750MW a quantity that should be more than enough for her use. Now if Nigeria attained 4700MW peak distribution and with idle MW like those of Rivers state and a few others how's the president wrong in his 5000MW assertion?
Now would you be honest enough and tell me who really appears silly?

Prof Corruption: Why did he drop the "Beaf" moniker?

He left, moved on, pursuing some other dreams like he said he would someday and he'll come back if he chooses to, none of these spineless wimps had anything to do with it.

^ Sorry to interrupt, but you and who "ran" Beaf out of Nairaland? You fit cough when Beaf dey hear?

^ Bros abeg edit the title of the thread abeg, that mistake fit run person belle. Abi you come from Anambala state?

Hehehehehe funny stuff, I kinda found the title of the individual awards more humorous than anything else. My picks: The Lawrence Anini Award for missing balary and the Philip Osondu Award for failing to live up to expectations! Really hilarious.

^ Ever heard the saying "you can't win an argument with an ignoramus"? I think the person that coined it tried arguing with you. Go get yourself informed b4 attempting to sound clever.

^ Oh come on! Why do you have to draw Igbo into this?

^ Is it not funny how people like you who can reel out figures like South Africa generates 40,000MW, Ghana 10000 and so on without bothering about the owners of the individual plants now want Jonathan to do the arithmetic of Federal, State and private power sources! if that's not wicked then I prolly don't know what is.

^ Go here and shut the frill up:

So you were saying?

Guess who we won't be seeing on this thread.

^ You are the harebrained and trashtalking tool not to recgnize the fact when its staring you down in the face. You expect govt. to be rebutting every thrash spat out by every news org abi? Who hide your sense?

[quote author=Dr. Wise]Please, point of correction. Olu of Itsekiri not Olu of Warri.[/quote]The title doesn't expand the kingdom, the Warri heartland belongs to the Itsekiris so they arrogated the name for themselves. Why didn't the Urhobos in Okere Urhobo choose to name their king after Warri also?

[quote author=Rhino.5dm]First, It was about Jairus, you came back to kick him when he was down like the coward you are.[/quote][/b] You really are a scumbag aren't you? What has this got to do with Jarus? Did Jarus view my thread as a personal attack on him? As far as I now he took the criticisms as constructive and has since moved on so why on earth can't you and your pack of wolves shut the frill up and stop crying more than the bereaved? Have I asked for too much? thanks.

The fact is that Jonathan lied and no amount of damage control can change that. Even if we are to reason along the line of excuses given by Rivers State, why can't the president invest time to verify his figures before coming out with another "notorious" figures?

Have you ever seen the word "fact" in a dictionary? It surely has got to be pointless bantering with you.

Abagworo: Wanted to ask but you know Nigerians as usual would have made it tribal. At least you are Urhobo. This was the cause of the long crisis that devastated Warri. The Olu is the Olu of Itsekiri people and not that of the 3 Warri LGAs.

He's the Olu of Warri not the "Nana" of Itsekiri.

antartica: I wonder what god the olu is calling? God of his ancestors or oyinbo god,jesus? Dont tell me a hard core custodian of the land like the OLU is a born again christian too.

I found it very gratifying knowing the Olu has drawn a very thick line between Spiritism, fetishness and Culture. Sad really that some are yet to make this distinction.

^I don't know and I'm not about to help you find out but I'm willing to bet you were undone by poor comprehension. Anyway, my point is if you're going to run your mouth like a broken faucet abusing someone then be sure to get your facts right.

This really isn't about Rivers and Amaechi but about the set of posters (hereafter refered to as Mofos) who accused the president of "lying" in saying Nigeria had generated more than 5000MW of power in an interview last year. Isnt it now obvious that the President was aware of unevacuated power as the highlighted above proves? But No, these ones had a job to do.

Mofo 1, who seems very happy and desperate to impress it on us that he's got more sense on his fingers than his entire body put together wrote us a speech:

[quote author=GARRI (x7)]Press Release: The Presidency, The Shame of a Nation by Garri (x7)

Goodluck Egbere "Agbaya" Jonathan is one public office holder who seems to stagger from one pillar of shame to a post of disgrace and infamy. Never before has a President lied blatantly to a nation as GEJ has been doing with reckless abandon.

He does all he can to misinform and deceive Nigerians on various issues even when telling the truth wouldn't bring a negative outcome.

Jonathan has become a SERIAL LIAR, deceiving the masses with fictitious statistics and spurious claims. This is shameful and embarrassing not only to Mr President and his team, but also to the 160 million Nigerians over whom he presides. If the number 1 citizen of a nation is PROVEN to be an unrepentant liar, how then will Nigerians ßξ respected by citizens of other nations.

Not to be forgotten also is his numerous electoral promise which he has failed to keep. The deceptive nature or Mr. President is made more manifest on a daily basis.

Let us therefore be resolved to vote out this SERIAL LIAR, PROMISE BREAKER, Corrupt, Inept, wasteful ‎​Άnd clueless MAN out of power in 2015. We deserve better as a people.

God Bless Nairaland,

God Bless Nigeria,

Yours sincerely,

And Mofo 3, The Godfather, ever the one to stoke the flames of hatred and misinformation, slithered in and out like a gecko.

@topic.

GEJ lied? Surprise , surprise. Asking GEJ not to lie is like expecting the pope not to pray.

Please pay attention to the highlighted.

Rivers State government has explained why its much-touted power supply adequacy did not come true on or before December 31, 2012 as earlier promised. Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi had given two previous deadlines on power supply none of which was realised. On New Year day, the governor officially admitted the failure but blamed the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) for the failure. “We had promised to deliver on 24-hour power supply by the end of 2012. Unfortunately we couldn’t meet this deadline, as we still need the PHCN to hook us up and grant us the requisite permission to distribute”. Rivers State began its power quest in 2000. Between then and now, the state has built up 560 megawatts and on the way to a target of over 750 megawatts. The state has also completed four power stations (Trans-Amadi, Eleme, Omoku and Afam), 26 power injection sub-stations to help move the 560 megawatts of power currently generated by our four power stations and import from the national grid, etc. “The most important milestone, perhaps, recorded in the past year on the way to achieving the power target is the support given to a firm, Four Power Consortium (4PC), to win the bid for sale of the Port Harcourt Distribution Company”. The governor said with this success, “We believe we should be able to gradually deliver on this promise to our people. We are certain that with the massive investments government has made in the power sector we are close to meeting our promise to our people”. Government has invested heavily in its power supply adequacy quest, hoping to hit target in 2012. In the out-gone budget year, the state government sunk a whopping N25.16 billion. A committee set up in 2011 had estimated N70 billion as what would complete the power projects and deliver on the promise. The state is building 28 new injection sub-stations in the state which would help stabilise the distribution network and bring power to households. In the present year, the governor has set aside N15 billion to continue the power adequacy scheme aimed at creating an industrial base. The governor said, “In the year 2013, most ongoing projects in the power sub-sector will be completed. We are budgeting N15 billion to accomplish this, including our rural electrification projects. We have taken significant steps in using the 4-Power Consortium Ltd. to facilitate the distribution of electricity to all parts of the state in 2013. The 28 new injection sub-stations are expected to be completed in 2013 to stabilise distribution network and bring stable power to our people”.

^ Just the scourge of our time feeling a pang of guilt. Anyway just walkering pass.

texazzpete: This is the POLITICS section of Nairaland. We should be discussing serious issues that concern this nation. As someone said, after the passage of the FoI bill, there should be loads of public records to sift through. There should be a 'Rogues' Gallery' of thieves to name and shame. There should be constructive discussions on how to move this country forward.
Instead what we get here are inane topics like "Igbo man caught smuggling drugs" and "Cowardly Yoruba men slaughtered by Fulani"

You know what, that's exactly what we should be talking about. I read through that Chinese blogging year review pained at our inability to harness the ideas and personalities we have in abundance here on this forum. It's so ironic that a lot of us dream and preach about a revolution without realizing we could have ours without batons and cudgels, we actually could grow into the most powerful pressure group in this country if properly managed but even the slightest attempts are shot down for inexplicable reasons and it keeps me wondering.

Desola: sorry, but I have to let you know this, just in case you might be oblivious to it.

Discernment is not present in your lineage and I am aware that it was skipped particularly in the DNA of those from your part of the world but for what its worth, i'll do my bit for humanity and let you in on a little secret. I am actually very tribal in nature and wear my heritage and culture as a badge for all to see. I take pride in it so Jarus giving me a mention as a tribal warlord was actually a honour. You on the other hand are a snake, a slithering, devilish, snake! Others might call you a coward also as you chose to call Jarus out when he is on his way out. You took confidence in your kinsfolk being a mod to spew the gibberish you would not have the effrontery to, when Jarus was a mod. Your nonsensical write up which you started with flowery introduction only to throw punches in the body was not missed. You useless attention seeking buffoon. I should be asking you: "have you no shame"?

A rat like you can only dance on the dining table when the cat is away. Could you have boldly step forward to throw these slurs in the reigning days of your subject?

What impudence! What an affront!!

Arrant Nonsense!

Hehehehehe, Seeing it took you nearly an hour to come up with this response, I'm glad I didn't hesitate on my beauty sleep, I could guess what was coming when I noticed you were sifting through your vile handles tryna decide which to employ for your dirty everyday job. For what its worth I'll attempt a response.
I'm sure you can forgive me for not knowing you actually view being called a bigot as an honour - I'd always marked your posts as one to be scrolled thru so forgive my ignorance. You can call me what you like but like I told the other mofo that tried same cheap lines as you have, in my earlier days on this forum, my attacks on the Mods were open and uncomplementary and Jarus was at the receiving end of some of it, as a matter of fact, my first ban here was by aisha2 for "disrespecting a Mod" and it wasn't the only time, sorry but COWARDICE doesn't run in our genes! and how really is Afam my kinsman? Do yourself a favour by getting informed lest you die an eediot.
Finally, I wouldn't want this thread to be distilled to a you vs me thread and more importantly I'm guided by this principle, Never fight with a pig, you'll both get dirty and the pig loves dirt! so this prolly is the last time I'll respond to you, So Squealer ( I'm sure you know something about Animal Farm) you can jump into the shithole and knock yourself out and while you're at it be generous enough to let a maggot crawl up your legs and place some eggs in you - surely that has to be the way your like reproduce their kind without polluting the rest of sane humanity! You said what? tell it to the third finger stuck into your poker face.

Desola: You are explaining yourself to people with a serious build up of tribal wax and you want them to hear you let alone comprehend. You get time sha.

Sorry but I just have to ask this. Aren't you ashamed? He picked the most rabid bigots he associates with and you came second yet you feel no shame? Is there now a meal called eediocy and did you overfeed in it?

Jarus: I get your points in this last one.


Yes, i fraternize with a couple of people that fight ethnic causes here. Dk was a university and hostel senior and one of the earliest people i

One of the earliest people you what? Jarus, Jarussssssssssssssss. Dear me , that ended like you took a bullet while typing it!

Jarus: I can only take lessons from an action or inaction that was the case in the first place.

Ethnicity is the least of my concern when dealing with anybody.I don't care about your tribe when relating with you. I do what i'm supposed to do. Alj harem just mentioned up there that i once banned him for attacking igbo people, which i can't even remember. Now, that's an action that is,prima facie, in favour of igbo. I didnt do it because he was kanuri, but because he did something contrary to forum rule and i happened to be around or got report of it and i acted.

I was and can never accept i have bias against any tribe, irrespective of what someone perceives or thinks. I don't dwell in tribalist things, i hate it with passion.

You know there's, a saying where I'm from that says "keep out the hands of a monkey from your soup cos it resembles that of a human". Now monkeys are a delicacy in my part of the country but its hands are done away with because it looks like that of a baby even when prepared. Now what if a stranger barges in on you while you're about to eat a meal with the hand of a monkey sticking out? what might he think you're eating? Even though you know you arent eating a human, the story might turn out different. Moral of the story? Honest intentions may not be enough - Ask GEJ!
Heavy lies the head that bares the crown therefore your actions do not only have to be honest but also have to appear honest. You cannot be fraternizing with known bigots and be preaching the bigotry sermon it gives you up as a hypocrite! That's just how it works. This might help you someday.

Jarus: Thanks for the kind words and the knocks. I have just one to react to and it's simply thus:

If I ever use my position to the disadvantage of any tribe, may God's curse be upon me!

You know what? if nothing has ever moved me in my entire stay on NL, the bolded just did and I feel much more than a tinge of guilt having drawn that from you. In all of these, I hope my criticisms did not belly the fact that I maintain tremendous respect for you as an individual - and no, I'm not sucking up to you. You see, just like you I'm a person of deep convictions and I flow where I want to regardless of the tide in every aspect of my life, it has cost me very very dearly but I have absolutely no regrets.
My criticisms of you is a result of my convictions and perceptions and nothing more,
though I may be wrong, but I'd want you to understand I had enough reasons to arrive at my conclusions. However it feels, I hope you can take it on the chin like you've demonstrated and soldier on while not discarding the lessons hereon, it takes absolutely nothing away from you and those that know you know who you are and you can only hope those that haven't done so completely - like me, catch on. Godspeed
