IyaIode:
Exactly what the Apc manifesto says, implementation is the key.

Good. I never read their manifesto. I campaigned for Jonathan Ologogoro online, the Ologogoro lost to GrandPa.

I wish APC well.

Also, they need to encourage investors to invest in private rail lines.

Lagos-Abuja, Lagos-Calabar, Lagos-Jos(through Ogun, Ondo, Edo, Delta, Anambra, Enugu, Kogi, Benue, Plateau), Abuja-Kano, Abuja-Sokoto, Abuja-Calabar, Abuja-PHC. NorthEast is a no go area for now.

There are lots of Trillionares in this country who do not know what to do with their wealth.

Government only need to create an enabling environment, there is no need to be afraid of sabotage from cabals because most of the cabals are going to show interest and invest into the private rail lines.

Like I'd earlier said, the most important factor is the Political Will. If we are willing, everything is possible.

In my own opinion, states do not have the fund to generate sufficient electricity for the populace.

What I think FG should do is to scrap the old privatization and issue licenses to IPP firms for various states.

Each IPP company should focus on a state for electricity generation, transmission and distribution.

Firms may merge to cater for a state.

FG must ensure the power firms produce stable electricity, pre-paid meter and utility cards.

Fashola would only supervise the whole process, tell me how he won't succeed if he has the support of Presidency.

Cabals will have no option than to invest into power sector and make more legit money.

The most important thing is political will. If we are willing, we can make it happen. It's not a further maths for crying out loud.

Shymm3x:
I think we might have to create a medium outside this place to discuss certain issues.

I know the older heads were planning one before, but I had to opt out of that in a sly way cos I'm never comfortable around older Yoruba folks. And if I can't disagree with folks, I won't be able to get my points across. Also, cos I do observe posters a lot - I just never really liked some of the folks mentioned. I'm not a fan of two-faced folks. Then you have some chameleons/snakes in the mix as well. I definitely can't relate to folks who try to post to me on one hand, and in a snakey way report my handles and other Yoruba posters' handles all the time - while trying to support those who instigate shiit. I don't like snakes/jakes/fakes/frauds.

At least I've known Ilekehd for three years now and from personal observations, I know what she can/can't do. Ditto 9jacrip, Superstar1, and a few other folks. And I know Aareonakakanfo is legit and passionate about Yoruba. Since we all share the same passion - we might as well start building something.

What do you guys think?

It's a good idea Duke. How do we go about it?

Aareonakakanfo:
Fashola handling 3 sectors is a bad move

Power on its own is like mount Kilimanjaro.

Even his predecessors who handled just power alone were unable to achieve anything

Combining that with works and housing is hectic

His hair is going to become whitish, like that of Prof Soyinka, in the next four years.

I wish Fashola best of luck.

Now, I'm happy and proud of Jagaban of Borgu.

What is the cost analysis of 1 hectare?

Size Of Land For Commercial Rice Farming

Iroko says, “You have to plant, then plant at least, five hectares; and you have to also prepare for the cost. From my experience, the estimate for just one hectare is N300,000, but my advise for new entrants is that they should start small”.

Lol. Tongue in the cheek, alie?

Anyway, don't let these folks' noise get to you - they're just the masters of making noise. In a well structure environment, their style of doing business will never work.

Have you ever asked yourself why over 90% of Nigerian businesses in the UK (I believe it should be lopsided in favour of Yorubas in US and Canada as well) are owned by Yorubas?

P.S: I just said 90% to be fair - it's about 99%, if I'm being factual cos you'll see more than 100 businesses owned by Yorubas before you see one Igbo business out here.

With due respect to every other sub-ethnic groups in Yorubaland, Ijebus and Ijehas had been doing international trade before Igbos knew the road to Lagos. I'm talking about hundreds of years ago.

When they blab and rant like they always do, I just smile.

Bro, endeavour to click submit command once.

Ethnic Composition, Languages, Culture and the Arts: Kwara State is currently dominated by three major ethnic groups, i.e, the Yoruba, Nupe and Baruba. The last group is found mainly in Kaiama and Baruten local government areas, while the Nupes dominate Edu and Patigi local govern ment areas. The Yorubas, who are in the majority, are found in the remaining twelve local government areas, i.e. at Asa, Ekiti, OkeEro, lfelodun, llorin East, llorin West, llorin South, Irepodun, Isin, Moro Offa and Oyun.

i.e

Nupes.............Edu and Patigi Local Goverment Areas

Baruba...........Kaiama and Baruten Local Government Areas

I am praying that each region is given its freedom to run things by itself so that the SW can use the renewable energy kind of tech to give us steady and affordable electricity.The renewable energy thingy is generally defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale.These resources are sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Renewable energy replaces conventional fuels in four distinct areas: electricity generation, air and water heating/cooling, motor fuels, and rural (off-grid) energy services...

Word. You've said it all.

The ministers are actually 7.

1. Kemi Adeosun - Finance

2. Babatunde Fashola - Power/Works/Housing - Great, Epic! As in? What's PMB thinking?

3. Kayode Fayemi - Solid Minerals

4. Isaac Adewole - Health

7. Omoleye Daramola - State, Niger Delta.

Babatunde Fashola -(Lagos) Minister of Power, Works and Housing

Kayode Fayemi- (Ekiti) Minister of Solid Minerals

We are not doing badly.

I hope Fashola will work towards generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in each state. The current arrangement is not working.

FG must scrap the damn privatization and let each state be in control of their destiny.

There are lot of companies who are ready to invest into electricity. I bet, everybody will want to buy Lagos' slot. 21million people is a huge market. I would like to buy that of Osun shaa cheesy
