Nigeria is full of excuses why there's failure. Not that the likelihood of theft is zero.

Which vandals?

The correct caption should be;

'Power contractors destroy the lines to get contracts to fix them'.

Nigerians are so destructive. You vandalize infrastructure and still complain that the infrastructure is not in place

Watching their religion brothers

Politicians are behind this. No two ways about it. You think someone who makes earnings from importing generators won’t pay jobless youths to carry out such? Blame the idiotic young men who should know better.

You people are not serious in this country...!

You know something is prone to vandalism, yet you leave it unguarded.

Northern Monsters....

It is time for states and local governments to ban those hausa iron condemned people. They are roaming thieves who are out to steal public and private properties.

So if you are told it's 'Hausa iron condemn' you'll believe it? The power contractors know what they are doing. Same way they killed the refineries. Same contractors will never allow anything work. It's Happening in South Africa already.

These vandals should executed

Regulate iron condem

I don't usually comment on political related issue, but I believe it is quite clear that there are elements interested in sabotaging the genuine efforts of this government to better the lives of the citizenry.

And those elements are not from Southern Nigeria.

Stories and excuses! Since that vandals did not vandalise, have we been having light? How many megawatts was being generated and transmitted? Pstcheew

If the line was active/energized, no sane person will attempt vandalizing it. That is the solution to this frequent vandalization of transmission lines.

These are most likely sponsored attacks.

If certain people can't control a Southern president, they try and create chaos.

but why

iwaeda:

So government have security for fun. A government that blame everyone, but not themselves.

So you think the government can protect all electricity infrastructure in the country, morning and night, in remote areas and everywhere else?

So, 2 or 3 Policemen will be stationed under every pilon in the country every minute and every hour of the day abi. Those pylons you see in the forest when traveling, every single one of them can be secured according to you.

Truth is, there is a limit to what any government in the world can protect.

A determined minority of people can cause a lot of harm without being detected.

The Unabomber in America operated for several years before being caught.

The way people reason in this country sef, everything must be tied to politics, religion or tribalism. Is vandalism new in this country?
These vandals are thieves and should be common enemy to all irrespective of wherever you are inclined to.

I have observed that Southern Nigerians generally have this morbid fear of mentioning Fulani and associating them with any bad things they are suspected of carrying out. But the same Southerners have no qualms about mentioning Igbo. You hear about the bandits instead of Fulani bandits orterrorists
Is this because of cowardice or what

Only wealthy people can determine the state of a nation. When there is blackout, the generator manufacturers will cash out.

You think a common man fit near that transmission if he is not sponsored by a politician.

[quote author=chrysso83 post=128882117][/quote]

My comments have nothing to do with tribe or even politics.

You're allowing your imagination to run wild.

I am looking at this purely from the angle of vested interests who insist on having a big influence in any government to serve primarily their personal economic interest.

A Southern president is more likely to surround himself with Southern vested interests. That's the reality. Same way northern vested interests will have greater access and opportunities with a President of Northern extraction.

The difference is, when you have a Northern president, many Southern vested interests will retreat into the background and find subtle ways to get their way or they retreat completely. But it seems, from the experience of Mr Jonathan and now the current government, a minority of certain vested interests would rather create chaos if new policies threaten their personal economic interest eg fuel subsidy removal.

My comments are all about certain individuals trying to protect their personal interests. It's not about tribe at all.

These vested interests, from all parts of the country, have plagued governments going back several decades.

Usmanovic95:

Even if they are sponsored by politicians, must they allow themselves to be used? Let's tell ourselves the truth. Can politicians come there to vandalize the infrastructure themselves? Nigerians are too wicked. What about the ones that vandalize transformers? Are they sponsored?

iwaeda:

So government have security for fun. A government that blame everyone, but not themselves.

So, government must post security personnel to guide every train station and rail tracks in the country. Government must provide security for every single public and private primary, secondary and tertiary institution in the country to stop kidnapping. Government must post security personnel to guide every Genco, TRCN and Disco lines in country. In fact, government must post security personnel to follow every single Nigerian or else government is not working.

Like, are some of you even normal? Don't you know when to stop? In how many countries of the world do citizens go about destroying electricity transmission lines? Is that normal to you?

My comments are about individuals pushing their own personal economic interest. It is not about tribe. These powerful individuals are from all over the country.

My opinion is that experience (Mr Jonathan and current govt) suggests that when some of these powerfful individuals feel their personal economic interest is at stake, and they, for example, don't have access to a President of southern origin as they probably would if the case was different, they take to lashing out through sponsored underlings.

It is a theory, but not an entirely unreasonable one.

The President's media spokesman made a similar assertion on TV yesterday.

After you will be complaining of lack of power supply and you are destroying infrastructure that provides you electricity..it's not only the government that is the problem of this country also some insensitive citizens are also the problem

We know the people who specialized in vandalization of government properties across the country. Two group especially trade in vandals

Those scrap collectors are incapable of bringing this kind of tower down.

This is from a more organised and coordinated group of terrorrists.
