[quote author=shamecurls post=43637811][/quote] Some of you folks are just impossible. Can't you just stop for a second, reboot your thinking and consider the FACTS. If you ran a business will you depend on only one source of raw materials, one production process and one customer. Is there any nation in the world depending on only one source of energy or one location of its power plants. Is it strategically or economically prudent. Are we resilient or weak as a nation by this arrangement. It is pipeline vandals today. What if it is foreign invaders tomorrow. Are we that daft. I gave an example a while ago. It was planned that Geregu power plant in Kogi taps gas from Escravos in Delta through some 700 kilometres of pipelines. Is that wise when you consider that Kogi state has un-exploited coal deposits and borders Enugu state with proven coal resources. That will be some 300 kilometres of rail-line to convey the coal. If not for politics and sentiments and the attitudes you guys continue to promote Geregu will be working by now. Is it an issue of coruption so widely touted by this government - no. It is an issue of sentiment, an issue of structure. Nigeria is the way it is because sentiments beclouds objectivity. The person who took the decision for example to place a gas plant in Kogi cannot be charged for corruption but has damaged the country even worse than a corrupt man. That is why in Nigeria nothing works. From rail, to refineries, from schools to customs services. Every decision is structurally deficient. 4 Likes |

Quite honestly, i'm totally disappointed in dz qovt. Our electricity which had once hit the nadir at 4,000+ in d first hundred days of Jonathan, now plummeted to 1,580.. Temme hw diz will not happen when a President within a year shy, had travelled to over 25 countries.no economic policies;no directives 4rm diz qovt;no think tank 4 qood and adequate qovt strides..i expect Buhari to have been adequately prepared 4 qovernance in his contestial pasts...all thinqz in Niqeria now numb with jarrinq clarity..

Reference:Good one... The problem is Nigerians are always ready to judge & not many of them got a solution to the problem. Can't imagine seeing a post that cos Buhari decided to fight tompolo ,so we should expect an healthy pipeline. We should leave a problem unsolved because a greater problem lies ahead of it... Funny |

bonechamberlain: Precisely. Excuses (by all governments past and present) are a sure sign that ideas are lacking and that your so called Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies is just a joke. The evidence is clear. We rely too much on oil and gas. The people blowing up pipelines know this. Just as terrorism thrives on publicity, pipeline vandalism thrives on dependency. Everyone from government officials, oil service contractors, oil companies and vandals potentially profit from sabotaging these assets. So what you do as a right thinking government is that as eagerly as you go after the vandals you also actively spread your risk. You begin to de-invest from the region, from the that source of energy so that in years to come the price of gas won't hit you, acts of sabotage won't cripple you. When the vandals know that you won't cry over their acts and won't bother to repair the pipes for months on occasion of dependency, they will fade away. But we are so driven by this maddening thirst for oil and gas and so ensnared by this ethno-geocentricism that I would bet that the next power station built will be a gas fired one located a gazillion miles away in Timbuktu. 1 Like |

dassyslimmy: Its really funny and pathetic that when APC goons were busy vandalizing the gas pipelines, you people blamed the PDP/GEJ government for its inability to safeguard the pipelines using the govt security agencies, now why are you not tasking the APC govt on using govt security agencies to safeguard the pipelines. First to do no dey pain well well...na when you are at the receiving end you go know how far. 2011, APC used Tambuwa to undermine PDP zoning arrangement...PDP cried, APC laughed; 2015, PDP used Saraki to undermine APC arrangement...PDP laughed, APC wanted to burn down the country; 2014 - 2015, APC goons vandalize gas pipelines to show Nigerians that GEJ/PDP cannot fix the power sector even when it's obvious GEJ/PDP was on the right track for the first time in Nigeria's national live (Fahsola ascertain this few weeks back); 2015 >, APC govt spokesperson said "some people in Bayelsa State vandalized the gas pipeline...."; Interesting times ahead... |

idupaul: Your bill reflects the new tariff @ #25.789/kw alongside the fixed charge of #750 which shouldn't be there. My current bill, even though not prepaid is based on kw rate of#14.7 as it used to be but the estimated consumption was very high. In your case, you were not suppose to be charged using the new tariff because the Senate suspended the implementation. For those of us on estimated bill the tariff did not change but they manipulated the estimated quantity consumed. May God bring permanent solution to this crisis. 1 Like |

mrvitalis: So if a pipeline gets vandalised, the roads will ultimately be closed till repairs, otherwise people may be roasted as a result of fire incidents. Do you think vandals can't do their activities in the dead of the night? Again, did you consider the cost of laying the pipelines again, and the fact that that huge amount needs to be deployed into infrastructural development? |

Nigerian case is like that of spectator and the players. The spectators would be out there shout and calling name and abusing the player that they do not know how to play and when they are given the chance to play, they cannot even kick the ball at all. That is how APC is being liken |
