Way to go!👏🏿👏🏿

For years now, Prof Barth Nnaji has shown capacity to help Nigeria overcome her electricity infrastructure challenges and recently proved this with the recent commissioning of the Geometric Ltd IPP that is set to provide 24/7 power to Ava in SE Nigeria. President Tinubu is urged to walk the talk by inviting Prof Barth Nnaji to be the Federal Minister of Power. Just so he demurs at doing so Governor Sanwo-Olu will do well to invite the Prof to help Lagos out in the matter. FDI will fall head over heels to have just a pie of the Lagos electric power business with a focused driver of Nnaji's pedigree in the driver's seat.

Tribalism will never make him appoint him to solve this problem...reason I support we go out separate ways ...

I will create a topic in that respect on Nairaland in the hope that Nairalanders will view and comment on it enough for the mods to push it to front-page where it could be seen by the FG. Our journalists have not helped matters. I am not aware they have advocated well enough for the FG to have this man onboard as power minister. Yar'Adua was set to declare an emergency in the power sector with Nnaji in the saddle as Power Minister. When I was a tot ECN was run by Easterners who did well.

Laughable! Amazing how folks care little about their name and their gross lack of integrity. Ajaero's claim is roguish!

Beverlyjean:
Nnaji is the only known Nigerian that can genuinely solve our power problem.... obi planned on making him head of power just like yaradua did...obi made plans to protect him from power cabals ..... if obi wasn't rigged out, we would not be in this situation we are today...but tribalism dealt a bitter blow on us .... reason I support Biafra , let's all go our separate ways, if ur region decide to elect a donkey as president then enjoy the grass as food

If Tinubu is serious about solving Nigeria's power problems he will do well to invite Nnaji to serve as Power Minister and not the swimmer only in name who presently occupies the office.

It's a private project and it takes almost two decades before it was completed. The project worth $800M and it's servicing 9 out of the 17 local government in Ábíá state.

What is $1 billion dollars relative to the sums stolen by wicked, corrupt and insensitive Nigerian politicians who long ago should have a date with the guillotine for misgoverning Nigeria. Atiku is one of them. Obasanjo who was President when Atiku was Vice-President published a book where he referred to Atiku as a thief. Till date, Atiku has not sued Obasanjo for libel in defamation of his character! Atiku is a thief! I got that from Obasanjo's book. I'll wave that book in his face should he sue me!

This man Atiku as the Vice-President of Nigeria decades back was in a position to reposition the electricity power industry in Nigeria when Obasanjo as President gave him free rein in the privatisation of State assets but what did he? He feathered his nest and that of his cronies and left power as comatose as it was before he had charge. Atiku is well known to be a critical stakeholder in the power generating set business in Nigeria. When Atiku pontificates in the manner he does here he insults the intelligence of Nigerians who know where he is coming from. Atiku will do well to be quiet!

Why do all these kidnappers and bandits always looking hungry and haggard? Even after collecting hundreds of millions of naira as ransom

Really? On the contrary, his skin glows! They don't eat the things that make city dwellers look chubby. They eat for their habitat which can be really rough and require some constant mobility. It's the kind of life they chose to live. Also, their logistics require huge capital outlay.

I went to the market to buy Akpu two days ago because I was very hungry for swallow food but the size of 100 Naira Akpu (fufu) has been giving me sleepless nights. This used to be my favourite swallow. I kept turning on the bed restlessly last night each time I remembered the size of Akpu that goes for 100 Naira now.

Abeg, wetin dey happen for Naija? Abi na to migrate to Gambia or Gabon? I don't really know what this country is turning into.

na so the size of 100 Naira Akpu be for una area?

But this is sizeable?🧐! Put a knife to your throat my friend. Not eating much to bed helps you stay alert spiritually in the night seasons so you can pray and experience the wind blowing in your favour!

What does this man want?🧐. On whose side is he really?

Sad

"If insecurity exceeds 24hrs , then the government is an accomplice to it"

Gen Sani Abacha

Quoting a thief and a vagabond in power at whose death Nigerians rejoiced!

The blood of that baby will not cease to cry for judgment until the folks responsible for the gross wickedness either repent or are exposed, disgraced and destroyed. The lady who just did that will parade the streets on this earth naked. Only repentance can change that!

Domaining101:
You have someone who is willing to give you 5 million naira in this present economy and the person asks you to choose between using the money to sponsor your education in a PRIVATE university for 5 years or use the money to start up any business of your choice. Assuming you are in your early 20's say 20-23 and considering the current situation of things in Nigeria, which of these options would you pick and why?

Bringing this here showcases you to be as insensitive as, if not more, than 10 Betty Akeredolu and 12 Siju Iluyomade combined. Now we know who you are!

It is well. The operations of witch Siju Iluyomade in RCCG is finally put to and end hopefully. Here husband is married to her and only death can do them part. Imagine a Pastor's wife who claimed to be born again inviting flavour to provide entertainment in the celebration of her 60th birthday! Effectively she was thanking the devil for her life! Sad that it took Herbie's death to showcase her demonic inclination and free RCCG leaders from the bondage of her bewitchment overtime!

Japada then! What are you waiting for!

It was really a very gory sight to behold.
The incidence occured at exactly 08:45 PM, yesterday, and I was just passing by.

The one that wrecked my heart completely was the cry of a man that was trapped, crying for help, but the building's deadload was just too much for our punny strength to overcome.

I couldn't stand the sight and cries of those trapped as I immediately left the scene, I didn't know what later happened to them.

For the safety of the general public,
it's about time the government swung into action to address building collapses in Nigeria, which requires a comprehensive approach that involves multiple stakeholders, just like my Boss pointed out above. The government must, especially number 7, enforce strict compliance to these possible solutions below, viz.

1. Implement strict building codes and regulations to ensure that construction projects adhere to safety standards. Regular inspections and monitoring are crucial in this regard.

2. Improve oversight of construction projects by requiring licensed professionals such as Quantity Surveyors, Architects and Engineers to be involved in the cost management, design and supervision of buildings.

3. Educate the public about the importance of building safety and the dangers of cutting corners during construction. Empower citizens to report substandard construction practices.

4. Enhance the capacity of regulatory bodies and local authorities to enforce building regulations effectively. This may involve training programs, resource allocation, and technology adoption.

5. Provide technical support to builders and developers to ensure they have the knowledge and resources to construct safe buildings.

6. Develop and implement emergency response plans to swiftly respond to building collapses, including search and rescue operations.

7. Hold accountable those responsible for negligence or violation of building regulations to deter future incidents.

8. Foster collaboration among government agencies, construction industry stakeholders, academia, and the community to collectively work towards ensuring building safety.

Public historians will do well to examine Anambra State public records to see what Peter Obi did in that regard when he was governor.

Both religions are noisy.


Can we just call on our individual creators without bothering one another like they do in saner climes? Must everything be barbaric in our home country?

The third one is noisier than the other two! And dirtier too!! When they start the drumming and incantation and animal sacrifice in calabashes they irritate me.

Other States will do well to follow suit. Presently the noise of the muezzin is disturbing my sleep . Daily he starts about 5am from about 3 or 4 of his buildings scattered around my place. In contrast in Abuja his call is dulled and not loud enough to wake you up if you are not expecting him.

Nigerian Politicians Emulate Angela Merkel Former Head Of State Of GermanY.

In 16 years of power, Angela Merkel did not appoint any of her relatives to a state position.

Germany said goodbye to its leader, physicist and quantum chemist, who was not tempted by fashion or lights and did not buy real estate, cars, yachts and private jets. They came out on their balconies and clapped for 6 minutes, a standing ovation across the country.

She leaves and her loved ones claim no benefits.

For sixteen years, she never changed the style of her wardrobe. At a press conference, a journalist asked Merkel: ''We realize that you are wearing the same suit, don't you have another?» She replied: «I am a civil servant, not a model.»

In another press conference, they asked her: "Do You have a housemaid cleaning your house, preparing food, etc." Her response was: "No, I have no servants or need them. My husband and I do this work every day at home."

Then another journalist asked: "Who is doing the laundry, you or your husband?" Her response was: "I'm fixing the clothes and my husband is the one who runs the washing machine."

Ms. Merkel lives in a normal apartment like any other citizen. She lived in this apartment before being elected Chancellor of Germany. She did not leave it and she does not own a single villa, houses, pools, gardens.

Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Europe's largest economy, will always remain a great example of leadership, driven by values, selfless principles, facts and empathy.

Angela is truly a role model, if only more leaders are like her!

If an individual can achieve this...what's really wrong with Nigeria?

Corruption! Execute corrupt politicians and Babachir Lawal will not be around shameless ly pontificating on good governance even when his hand was grabbed stealing from the public till.

Whimper. Have you found Dele Giwa's killers. Where is Bagauda Kaltho? Naughty Diplomacy. Next thing AGF joins SA Legal Team at the ICJ!

I wished he lived to regret his action like Begum who daily lives to regret her decision to subscribe to the ideology that subscribes to terrorism and lost her UL citizenship!

Whimper!

He never claimed it as governor.
Alex has been involved in this project long before governorship.
He was the CEO of diamond bank when the bank invested millions of dollars in the project, that was the first external funding the plant ever had.
So, it's not even just political for him, it's both financial and economic as well as personal.
He has been following the project ever since then.
As a governor, he helped solve the logistic issues holding the project plus currently building a road leading to it

It takes to be informed and of a sound intellect to make a comment of this kind on this matter! Kudos! Folks who speak differently are either ill informed or intellectually dishonest.

Federalism at work. Igbo Amaka! Not to my knowledge this sort of initiative exists anywhere else in Nigeria. Aba economy is set for a soar away lift. Sanwo Olu should be looking at something of this sort for Lagos on a greater scale.

France started learnt the Hardway!!!@

There si no peaceful Islam .... The only peaceful Islam is when they are in minute minorities ... even at that they will be causing upset upandan. But when they are more, they tend to cause uprising and terrorism activities. Its just in their blood and DNA.

Deport them back to their countries .....

That is what is called Taqqiya!

A little too late in the day. Medicine after death. Islam is already deeply entrenched in Europe and plans at an advanced stage to Islamise the Continent. By the very nature of the belief system it takes no prisoners! It brooks no dissent!! Once Islam has Europe in its firm grip the goose of the continent is cooked and it is doomed! All those monarchies in Britain et al will become Emirates! Maybe Europe will wake up to reality then! Begum has been begging to return to U.K. as a citizen. She should remain in Syria!

Yes! The FG and the National Assembly are not listening. How can the National Assembly in all good conscience make a corrupt purchase of n160 million per jeep for its oversight function and tell us we don't have a right to protest the hardship in the land? That won't werk!

You can tell that to the Marines!

matify83:
The hand writing was already on the wall. A house dividedagainst itself can not stand.

The country is too charge for such an undertaken. The government might see it as an affront and attempt to discredit them and import thugs and miscreants to disrupt a peaceful process thereby giving credence to their earlier warnings.

It's in the best interest of NLC to shelve this protest. It will be a "WAR/FIGHT OF BLAME" if they allow sound reasoning to fall on deaf ears and go ahead with the protest.

No! It's not about the number of the protesters but the symbolism. That is why it is planned to be peaceful!

Which is better? Organised peaceful protests or spontaneous demonstrations and protesting in which you don't know who to talks to and negotiate with?
