Baba Iyabo spent N=16 billion with absolutely nothing to show for it and he was the Commander-in-Chief Thief for eight WASTED years.

Is it not said that A people that ignore their history is a LOST people
Anyway na so e be for mumuland!!!

16 billion DOLLARS, actually.

ochejoseph: If GEJ gives Nigerians 24 hours power supply Tinubu ,Buhari etal will regret registering APC

If all our past leaders had been solving one problem per tenure, I don't think we will be in this mess that we are. I applaud Jonathan for this achievement but there is still room for improvement. Larger part of the country are without regular supply of power or no power at all. Solve this and I can guarantee that many will vote you as President again.

You don't mean greenbacks, USA money and nothing on the ground to show.
And the yeye man go dey preach sey im generation dey cursed.
Only in Nigeria!
Yeeeeeepa!!!

awodman: From what I read in the papers,the payment of the remaining staffs who are mostly of the discos started yesterday.

Also it is expected that the successful bidders pay up the 75% balance of their bids by 5PM tomorrow.If they don't the reserve bidders would be called up to take over.NCP has refused to extend the payment deadline.

Tomorrow marks a watershed in the history of Nigeria's electricity sector.

You can say that again. August 21, 2013. The history books wud long rememba..

Hmmmm....this might turn out 2 be true o,i was in one of d phcn offices lst week n a worker walked into d marketn manager's office 2 inform him dat a colleague jst calld 4rm hqtr dat they ve startd payn o. D way d man smiled shws his wud be on d high syd.

Why are we so easy to please?

During OBJ era that some GEJ Supporters are quick to point to, the same political jobbers praised him for awarding the contacts without any meaningful result until he left.

By 2015, if the current administration can not deliver uninterrupted power supply too, they we referred to as failures too. No matter how good the intentions are or the process/steps taken, if there is no power 24/7, by 2015, this administration have failed too

ITbomb:
Yes because your tribesman Obasanjo decieved Nigerians by signing an Agreement with ASUU which he had no intention or capability to implement.
Also your leaders for the past 20 years did not have the willpower to invest in power infrastruture UNTIL GEJ CAME.

I thought the agreement was signed in 2009, if my memory serves me right, Obasanjo lefft the presidency in 2007.

Goofball, get your facts right.

In2systems_Tech: So who is going to pay me for the damages NEPA has done to my business and properties...

I go pay

Oga GEJ it remains DELTA STEEL PLC workers.
Sir,You are performing, while my governor(Rochas Okoroocha) who claimed he went to the United States to prepare a list of his Next ExCo is now reported to be on Economic trip.
United States might have held him over Money Laundering.

Mr Anonymous: Whatever it is they are doing... my own be say make light dey.

SIMPLE!

Just passing sha.......... If I must comment, I will say I am auspiciously waiting for when power supply will be stable in Nigeria so that I can confidently dive into the business I have in mind. More elbow grease please.

ochejoseph: If GEJ gives Nigerians 24 hours power supply Tinubu ,Buhari etal will regret registering APC

Bruv, APC was (is) a mistake (..that cannot be undone) in the polity of Nigerian political arena... RIP APC.

2015 fresh air everywhere. Uncle Jo' abeg carry go. My undying support any time of any day..

God bless you my Presido.

Mr Aboki: 2015 Elections... PDP just scored some vital points...





FRESH BREEZE 2015 is gonna ride on the back of steadier Power supply to win..

And they thought the Shoeless Fisherman was dumb..

The changing faces of madcow

OKIJA JUJU = ANTI PDP, PRO APC PRO AMAECHI

MR ABOKI = OKIJA JUJU

Sometime you just garra laugh at these electricity threads. I especially laugh when one person states, "20 hours electricity in my area for months" and another states ,"yes-o GEJ is doing wonders, i've got 24 hours electricity" and yet another states," 19 hours electricity,things are looking up"

Then one person comes along and states, "una dey craze; no electricity in my area of lagos, six years now" and you just know that this guy probably put up a shark-home made of cardboard and tarpaulin near bar-beach.

IN AS MUCH AS I HAVE BONES TO PICK WITH SOME OF GEJ POLICIES, I THINK IF HE SOLVES THIS POWER PROBLEM, HE WOULD HAVE SURPASSED ALL OUR PAST LEADERS.

We know he started them..the question is did he complete them..wasn't it an abandoned project before he left office..or do you wanna tell $16 billion can't comfortably complete those plants you named in 8 years??

You forgot to mention that he also actually flagged off the contruction of the Second Niger Bridge without a design or contract. He practically rented some contractor equipments for few hours and did his thing before the camera.

No serious President shoudl fail to make reasonable impact in the electricity sector after spending $16b in a period of 8 years.

On GEJ, don't forget that Yar'Adua cancelled the power projects when he listened to house of reps probe report and decided to be a 'servant leader'. Technically speaking, GEJ started those power projects.

I don talk am.....this people dey merry with their wives forgetting their switching training them dey use our light do. 24hours supply in Ondo state

Baba God l Ŧђɑ̤̥̈̊п̥̥̲̣̣̣kƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇̇ U̶̲̥̅̊ for given us president like Jona, wat formal presents failed to do is wats doing n̶̲̥̅̊o̲̣̥w̶̲̥̅̊. Jona till Jesus come

are u sure you are not a ghost worker?

Then what will be the situation of electricity ? There has not been improvement so far.

Thank you for the brief refresher course on our recent history of the power sector.
We will see greater efforts by the REVISIONISTS to re-write our story with "facts" concocted in their very fertile & imaginative minds.
See as dem don dey start talk sey na Tinubu criticism na im make Jonathan dey achieve so much.

Akinmail:
this is one of the benefits of having a strong opposition
it forces the government of the day to perform. Tinubu should be happy he has helped in his own way to help nigrians by creating aformidable opposition. Nice.

Shall we say it is because there has been no meaningful opposition criticism in Lagos for the past 14 years of Tinubu and his boy, Fashola that we have had dismal and abject FAILURE in the provision of BASIC services such as

* free and COMPULSORY education for all children in primary, vocational and secondary schools.
* pipeborne water.
* feeder roads
* functional primary health centres and specialist hospitals such that Fashola's dad was treated abroad before he died and Tinubu is now in the US for treatment.

I won't believe it real,until its start functioning,ever since have been around(due to ASUU strike)its only in the night,we always have light in my area (Akute,Ogun-State)and @times its inconsistent...

Sir, yar adua didn't cancel but suspended the projects. As a matter of fact, al d NIPP projects were started by d Obasanjo administration(during his 2nd term I guess) D excess crude acct(belonging 2 d 3 tiers of govt.) was used 2 fund them. When yar adua took over, he suspended d projects, sighting d rule of law, since d money does not belong 2 d FG alone. It was when Jonathan took over dat work resumed on d projects. On d billions of $s expended by Obj., If I can remember vividly, d probe panel truely concluded dat there was nothing significant 2 show at d project sites, not dat moneys were not expended. For instance, during d probe,it was discovered dat d turbines 4 Alaoji plant(Abia state) had been delivered 2 d country(several months b4 d probe started) via an eastern port, but could not be moved 2 site because a bridge needed 2 be constructed at a point on d route 2 d project site. My point is, as much as Jonathan deserves commendation on d ongoing power sector reforms, we need not distort facts about his achievements. U might want 2 check out dis link 2 correct d impression u av on d amt actually spent by Obj's regime on d NIPP https://www.nairaland.com/246811/fg-obasanjo-only-released-3.08

Let me also mention dat the 2005 power sector reform act(on which d entire power sector privatisation process is based) was initiated, and passed into law during Obj's tenure
