You didn't read through, the first paragraph was for OBJ while the second was for GEJ. The difference between both privatization processes was, one was successfully and strictly implemented, the other was shabbily and incompetently implemented

stchinedu:

My brother try and be straight...stop saying people are hypocritical when you are not different in anyway.
Nobody is praising Obasanjo ' administration or saying it is free from corruption. But GEJ administration made corruption to sky rocket. Truth be told, I do not blame GEJ myself but it happened under his administration...He allowed those rogues to stain his administration, knowing full well he is the one people will blame because it is his administration. He messed up period!!!
Trying to shift GEJ ' mess to obasanjo is the height of hypocrisy.

Buhari need to audit Aro They are letting mad pple to flee anyhow

Stchinedu,

I like your sincerity. However let us appreciate that corruption is an intangible quantity and is very difficult to measure. Genuinely, absolute corruption has been on the increase in Nigeria from day 1, hence it is higher in each successive administration. However people forget that the man who steals in the day does not necessarily steal more than the guy who steals at night. it is just that his theft is more obvious.

The point i am making is that GEJ's rule coincides with the explosion of online nigeria. Under OBJ how many blogs were there? how many fora? even nairaland was in its infancy? there was even no BBM to talk of facebook or twitter, no saharareporters etc.. Hence GEJ's failing were well publicized, while OBJ's had the benefit of minimum exposure. e.g. OBJ tried unsuccessfully to remove the fuel subsidy at least 2 times, but when GEJ tried it once, what happened? An online/blog inspired revolution (ably supported by the opposition).

Bottom line there are very few of the systemic failures we experienced under GEJ whose seeds were not already growing under OBJ. E.g. we say NNPC's accounts are messy, and i agree. But do you remember that OBJ closely oversaw those accounts (as Minister of Petroleum under his own regime) for two terms?

We can certainly criticize GEJ for not meeting our expectations, we have every right to do so, our standards are higher now, and our patience is even less and those can only be good for Nigeria. However, if we compare him to any of the other leaders of this Country before him, it would be fair to say he did a decent job given the circumstances he faced (boko haram and heightened ethnic tensions). The anger is still high now and i don't expect most people to agree. However, i am confident that when posterity looks at his 6 years, they will regard him favorably compared to his forebears.

Another heavy knock hanging loose to land on gej's head.
He thinks we are going to let him resign to his otuoke mini-paradise-mansion in peace. NO!
We shall keep opening his files to burst some of his political mishap in the name of privatization and some sandy policies he put in place.

Most of our problems started during the Obasanjo regime in 1999. I find it hypocritical that Nigerians will accuse GEJ for all the problems this country is facing.

GEJ met a problem and instead of solving it, he added more to it, that's how he was judged. In 6 years as president, Nigerians expect improvement, not beating around the same problem.

Do you remember there was no single telecom company in Nogeria when OBj over office? He didn't need to be blaming IBB and Anacha for the problems, he solved it with seriousness.

Well......on the one hand...good idea...on the other....it might not make things better.

Modified: The key problems are generation and transmission. GMB should devote time and energy to rectifying those issues.

Since everyone does not like nuclear power for generation.....we should explore solar, coal and gas fired plants.

Kog45:
pls I don't want us to see d issue as GEJ vs GMB bcs electricity is one of d critical factor of Nigeria economy.The history of privatization of PHCN is still very fresh in our memory and we Nigerians demanded for it bcs we believe that selling of PHCN will give us d same success recorded in d
telecom sector,but d reverse is d case in d electricity sector.What we are witnessing in electricity is a serious issue that must be address by incoming administration.If I may ask is privatization of electricity working,is it a sham or are we ready for privatization or we just do it for privatization sake,these are d questions we need to ask ourselves as a Nigerian.If telecom can recorded a success with little frame of time,why not electricity.We don't need to give excuses on behalf of d investors bcs what they promise us and d govt is giving stable electricity.If GEJ knew thing will turn out like this.he will never privatize PHCN bcs electricity improvement alone would have gv GEJ 2nd term.Let us be sincere,is there any difference btw PHCN and d new companies In term of operation and discharge of duties,honestly no difference bcs d privatization was done on paper and not technical ground.If it is reversation of selling of PHCN will give us light let it be but if it is privatization that will give us light let it be bcs Nigerians are tired of

lack of electricity.

Akiika:
Yes!!!! GMB should reverse it!
They sold it to themselves without any inkling of how to run it!
Reverse it and let the companies that can run it bid for it.
Oshisco!!!

vanunu:


Are u a mad man, why compare investment in telecom with that of electricity. Did the telecom companies cover the whole country in less than two years?
Do u know that some parts of this country still don't have telephone network coverage.
