Buhari's body odour has killed the power sector to the point that Fashola is lost on how to address the issue

but fashola just came in not too long ago.

mrvitalis:

bamite:

it's not sponsored. nearly the 36 states including abuja are experiencing one form of load shedding. can about 5,000 mw go round the 36? without rationing?

An American Constitutional Lawyer and author
Bruce Fein, has written an open letter to
President Buhari which was published in
Huffington post website yesterday. Very
interesting letter. Read below
President Muhammadu Buhari
Aso Rock, Abuja Nigeria
Dear President Buhari:
When you visited the United States Institute of
Peace last July, you pledged that you would be
"fair, just and scrupulously follow due process
and the rule of law, as enshrined in [the
Nigerian] constitution" in prosecuting corruption.
Such loftiness is laudable. As the Bible instructs
in Amos 5:24: "[L]et justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."
But to be just, the law must be evenhanded. It
cannot, in the manner of Russian President
Vladimir Putin, be something that is given to
punish your enemies and withheld to favor your
friends. If so, the law becomes an instrument of
injustice bearing earmarks of the wicked rather
than the good.
In the United States, you declared a policy of
"zero tolerance" against corruption. You solicited
weapons and other assistance from the United
States government based on that avowal. But
were you sincere?
During your election campaign, you promised
widespread amnesty, not zero tolerance. You
elaborated: "Whoever that is indicted of
corruption between 1999 to the time of
swearing-in would be pardoned. I am going to
draw a line, anybody who involved himself in
corruption after I assume office, will face the
music."
After you were inaugurated, however, you
disowned your statement and declared you
would prosecute past ministers or other officials
for corruption or fraud. And then again you
immediately hedged. You were reminded of your
dubious past by former Major General and
President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, who
succeeded your military dictatorship. He released
this statement:
"On General Buhari, it is not in IBB's tradition to
take up issues with his colleague former
President. But for the purpose of record, we are
conversant with General Buhari's so-called holier-
than-thou attitude. He is a one-time Minister of
Petroleum and we have good records of his
tenure as minister. Secondly, he presided over
the Petroleum Trust Fund, PTF, which records we
also have.
We challenge him to come out with clean hands
in those two portfolios he headed. Or we will help
him to expose his records of performance during
those periods. Those who live in glass houses
should not throw stones. General Buhari should
be properly guided."
You then swiftly backed off your zero tolerance
policy because you would have been its first
casualty.
You opportunistically announced that zero
tolerance would be narrowed to the predecessor
administration of Goodluck Jonathan because to
probe further would be "a waste of time." That
conclusion seems preposterous. In 2012, the
World Bank's ex-vice president for Africa, Oby
Ezekwesili, estimated that a stupendous $400
billion in Nigerian oil revenues had been stolen or
misspent since independence in 1960. The lion's
share of that corruption spans far beyond the
Jonathan administration.
Your zero tolerance policy seems to come with a
squint to avoid seeing culpability in your political
friends. A few examples are but the tip of the
iceberg.
A Rivers State judicial commission of inquiry
found that N53 billion disappeared from the
Rivers State Reserve Fund under former governor
Rotimi Amaechi. Former Lagos governor and
head of your campaign finance team Babatunde
Fashola was accused ofsquandering N78 million
of government money to upgrade his personal
website. The EFCC has ignored these corruption
allegations, and you have given both promotions:
the Ministry of Transport to Mr. Amaechi, and the
Ministry of Power, Works, and Housing to Mr.
Fashola.
In contrast, you have played judge, jury, and
prosecutor in the newspapers to convict former
PDP Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke of
corruption.
Is this evenhanded justice?
United States Supreme Court Justice Robert
Jackson taught: "[T]here is no more effective
practical guaranty against arbitrary and
unreasonable government than to require that
the principles of law which officials would impose
upon a minority must be imposed generally.
Conversely, nothing opens the door to arbitrary
action so effectively as to allow those officials to
pick and choose only a few to whom they will
apply legislation and thus to escape the political
retribution that might be visited upon them if
larger numbers were affected."
To investigate or prosecute based on political
affiliation or opinion also violates Articles 2 and 7
of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It
is unworthy of a great nation like Nigeria.
Make the hallmark of your administration justice,
not retribution, and you may live for the ages.
I am a United States citizen and lawyer. I have
no political standing in Nigeria. Some might
argue that my speaking about the administration
of justice in Nigeria bespeaks impertinece. But
you chose to vist the United States to solicit
weapons and other assistance from my
government--a government of the people, by the
people, for the people. The United States
government represents me. What the United
States government does reflects on me. I thus
have an interest in addressing the actions of
foreign governments that receive United States
government aid.
Sunshine is said to be the best of disinfectants.
Sincerely,
Bruce Fein

Iv not had supply in my hood for d past 3 days and has been like that for d most part of 15 years or so so u can imagine how id feel if some plonkerhead comes around and spew bollocks like all is well with every region cos hes privileged to b exempted from d madness going on....

9jatatafo:


I will not answer him again because he is getting steady power supply in part of Abuja doesn't mean there is regular supply in all places. I am very angry with government if the day when they keep fooling us about steady power supply. All na wash

Initial fear dat gripped all sectors wen buhari took ova seems to have fizzled away......

bamite:
I dont know of abuja but where i stay, there is 24 hr power supply. Some of this publications are sponsored BS to smear the govt.

The fact that you experience almost a constant power supply where you stay doesn't mean others aint suffering from lack of it. Because where I stay, I hardly enjoy up to the six hours daily supply the op even talked about.
Mind you, I dont belong to any party. I just want my country to become well again.

We hardly get electric power supply for 3 hours on a daily bases.

einsteino:

Mrreed:

u re ryt bro, i served dere. osogbo do hav lyt for more than 3dayz straight wthout phcn interruption. i wondr why dey re diffrernt from d rest of nigeria.

In Osogbo we have a Generating Plant hence nearness to Generation is the secret behind the constant light sir

And the bills are still exorbitant.
