Buhari made Nigeria the poverty capital of the world, tinubu continued from where buhari stopped, and succeeded in making Nigeria the hunger and suffer capital of the world, and at thsame time is busy kidnapping the oil sector in Nigeria

Look I'm an Igbo. This is not how to hate. Hate with reason. How much have successive governments up till now invested into power? Obasanjo spent billions of dollars on electricity, what came out of it. Atiku privatized nepa and sold it to his friends and it became worse. The only clear legislative roadmap to improve power came during buhari's regime.

The regime that you are calling names, have they invested a quarter of what obasanjo invested and you didn't get results?

Please hate responsibly.
This type of talk is what is still keeping Nigeria where it is today.And it is always very annoying to hear.
Do you think if Ramaphosa was to have this type of mindset that he would have achieved this feat?
A mindset of always blaming the failure of the present leadership on the failure of the past leadership.
Goodluck blamed Obasanjo,Buhari blamed Goodluck while Tinubu blames Buhari.
Where does that take us to?

You think the current S/A president didn't meet corruption and decayed infrastructure in the power sector when he took over?
Why didn't he continue in the level he met it and while blaming his predecessors for poor power output?

So if OBJ's regime squandered 16 billion US dollars that was meant for power infrastructure as was reported, does it mean the successive administrations should not invest in the power sector and make it work again?Must they keep on blaming their failures in the power sector on that till eternity?
Why is Cyril Ramaphosa not dwelling on such a ugly past in that sector?


Look at the huge amount he gulps out to invest in the power sector.......now see the result!

Leaders with a humane heart with a strong political will is what we have been lacking and still lacking till now.

Guys pray for good leaders. A good leader can determine how good your life is.
Good leadership is everlasting good asset for any country, but in case of south Africans they should thank almighty God for their stars because their fomal opressors/ colonizers had different philosophy for them unlike Nigeria with divide and rule system designed to loot and pillage our agriculture and natural resouces for the develoments of their home country and other colonies that matter most to them the world over. The colonizers established solid infasructures and good developeds agenda for south African of which they saw as their own country because vavourable wether similar to their weather in europ and offcourse the natural resouces. A cursory look at their sorunding neighbours will show a sharp contrast.

People will blame the past Nigerian Leaders for the poor electricity and I will say they are correct.
However, readers of this article would not be oblivious to the fact that ESKOM, was given N23 trillion to execute the project that generated over 2500 MW of electricity.
How much is the Nigeria government investment in electricity?
When Obasanjo was in power, Chief Tony Annineh was the minister of power, he was given $16 billion for the power Ministry, today @N1600 to the Dollar how much would that be?
$16 billion is over N25 trillion now

Tinubu and BUHARI are big time curses to Nigeria.

Itโ€™s obvious that fake and false news these days are a thing. On twitter in the last 3 to 5 months, SA folks were complaining of load shedding of over 3-5 hours , now someone is claiming they are marking 150 days of uninterrupted light.

Did the South African leader achieve this turn around in his first one year in office? Be fair in criticism.

SHUT UP, YOU DUMB IDIOT.

BOTSWANA, IVORY COAST, RWANDA, JAMAICA, TRINIDAD, SENEGAL, KENYA, BARBADOS, BAHAMAS, MOZAMBIQUE, ETC ETC ARE ''ALL-BLACK COUNTRIES'' THAT ARE PROGRESSING VERY WELL IN ALL RAMIFICATIONS.

IF YOU WEREN'T BRAINWASHED TO FEEL INFERIOR, YOU WOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH THEIR SUCCESS STORIES, AND EMULATE THEM.

STUPID NIGERIAN YOUTHS WITH A FILTHY MIND OF RACIAL INFERIORITY.

YOU'RE A DISGRACE IN THE WAY YOU REASON, UPON ALL YOUR CLAIMED EDUCATION.

Having realized this on time,what then on earth prompted our leaders to go into looting competition with their looters colonizer?
Is it not the height of stupidity for us as the owner of the land to know that the invaders came only to loot us dry and when we finally gained independence from them,we are now the same people looting our resources back to the same White man's land to continue to develop their land while ours is left in abject poverty and perpetual underdevelopment?
Who do us this kind thing?
I considered the White strangers who refused to develop our country for more than a century they have colonized us a lesser evil to our indigenous leaders who have the opportunities and enormous resources right from 1960 till date to develop this country but choose to loot it dry without a single sign of development.

STOP TAKING RUBBISH.

That is the problem with you people.

You always exaggerate negatively, giving your enemies ammunition to insult you.

If we were ''without a single sign of development'' you would be ON A VILLAGE FARM PEELING YAM TO ROAST AND EAT WITH PALM OIL.

Look at people barely ONE GENERATION REMOVED FROM ILLITERATE VILLAGE PEASANTS sitting around all educated now, living in some city flat or duplex, probably own a car or SUV, going to clubs and Malls and banks, driving on expressways and flyovers, saying ''there has not been one sign of development''.

RUBBISH.

In the 1960s your grandparents were walking around barefoot in the village, with no electricity.

If they were lucky they had bicycles.

SO COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS AND PRAY FOR MORE.

The current leaders, even if they steal 30% of our income, still use 70% to develop the country.

The colonialists stole a minimum 95% of your annual export earnings in their 80 year rule.

We want uninterrupted grid power at cheap tariff, ask an average South African household how much they spend on electricity monthly. When we are ready for cost reflective tariff then we should be expecting improved power supply. Without the right tariff, the power sector won't attract meaningful investment. Shout out to consumers on band A, they are the real odogwu

Yes o.

Na so, but let us be honest....we have had this problem long before 2015. Infact, since 1978, we have been having power cuts. So, all our leaders since 1978, by your reasoning, are curses to nigeria.
