seunmsg: What "hero" are u talking about? U had light in Abuja today, so what? Does Abuja constitute the whole of Nigeria? For your info,almost every part of Nigeria has been in TOTAL 24/7 darkness for about six days now. Once thers a complaint against any sector in this administration, u start to politicise everything. Don't Nigerians have the right to genuine complaints if this administration falls below expectAtion? Is everything a GEJ Vs. PMB tussle? Let this administration wake up to its responsibilities! No power, no fuel, crumbling state of the naira which has affected prices of every commodity available for sale in Nigeria and u are ranting GEJ. Vs. PMB nonsense! This is not the "change" we envisaged please. 4 Likes |

SleekAboki: Why do people like you ALWAYS spoil a good post with PARTISANSHIP? Cant you say anything sensible without recourse to PARTY, ETHNIC TRIBE or RELIGION? SMH, really. Now, to power: The current situation is unacceptable...... but we should not just shout and cry, we need to analyse the situation, proffer solutions and be on the neck of the Govt to follow-through. I for one do note that the incessant blow-up of Gas pipe-lines, the 'hostage-taking" by "MAJOR" Petroleum Marketers, the hoarding of the little fuel available by the Petroleum Station staff so that they can extort, exploit and make illicit gains, are all contributory factors. We must also note that until Nigeria as a country, is determined to build new Power stations instead of managing those "expired ones" and wasting more than double the amount required to build a new one, on some silly Turn-Around-Maintenance (TAM) which some have turned into a cash-cow, at the NNPC.... .....until our silly Minister and Govt come out honestly and accept that it is not always "how much MONEY you throw at a problem, that solves the problem......" but honest effort and efficiency goes a long way, We have had these tariff increases over and over again and like that of Petrol, its always the same excuse...INCREASE PRICE TO MAKE SOME PEOPLE RICHER, AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CITIZENS!... We would continue to have these power failures that kill business and entrepreneurship .......Until Nigeria as a country can increase "local refining of crude oil for PMS" and sundry by-products, until we as a country can fashion out ways to independently transport our refined Petrol from the refinery to the Selling Pumps without overly relying on the "Tanker Cabals" who take us for a ride (by Trains probably or deeply-laid down pipes or even impose the death penalty for economic saboteurs like pipeline Vandals, e.t.c),....... Until the department of Petroleum Marketing (DPM) can efficiently monitor and punish, in a very punitive manner, these petrol sations that hoard and inflate prices while using "manipulated Pumps" (I know in some countries, if you dare touch the Pump or Hoard, your station will remain under lock and key for a minimum of six months, you will get fines of very-very punishing amount, the equivalent of like #25Million Naira and the owner of the Station gets charged to court for sabotage and gets sentenced to jail...... thats why you dont see them do it rampantly as they do here in Nigeria, with a paltry #500,00 fine when they would have made close to #10 Million profit form such acts!).... Until Power is relatively stable thereby reducing the pressure on buying Petrol-for-Generators and "killing ourselves with cancer-causing obnoxious fumes"......... We will just continue to go round in circles. Where are the criminal Legis-Looters? Where are the "bought-over" Student Associations? Where are the corrupt Labour Unions? Where are the pimping "Men of Gawd" who call themselves Pastors, G.O's and Bishops Where are the Civil Societies and corrupt, self-seeking NGO's? Where are the brave men in our Armed Forces.....Yes, if that is what it takes Where are the Citizens? Finally, where is the President, he has kept mute in the last few weeks while Fulani Herdsmen were killing, raping and Kidnapping, while Power was becoming a luxury, while Petrol Queues have become the other of the day? A Leader needs to stand up and lead in times of crisis.... Where is my President, Muhammad Buhari......how long shall he keep quiet over this? |

Ishilove:That moniker has been given another two weeks ban for "violation of Rule 8" when he created a thread asking if nairaland has jettisoned Rule 9 given the number of pro-bia*fran threads that have been left to flourish on the forum. I told you some mod is simply out to silence "O" forever and you thought I was joking. This is just too damn petty. Some folk somewhere has probably made it his mandate to ensure only one narative- that of PDP- is heard around here. Too bad the admin doesn't see this. Imagine this thread and what a lie it represents- "TOTAL Blackout in NIGERIA"- yet they don't see it as a violation of Rule 8, infact, it was moved to the fp and has been sitting comfortably at the top of this board for days!! But when Omenka ASKED A QUESTION regarding the forum's policy on Rule 9, he was banned for "violating Rule 8!! |
