logicab:
but first putting things (which is where we are at present) in place appears to require a technocrat.

neyobills:

You sound clever by half and your hypocrisy stinks to high heaven,all this countries you have mentioned so far already have stable electricity so they can afford to appoint a dog to manage the affairs,you keep blaming Jonathan for not fixing the power sector,If Buhari your messiah has done that while he was the military HOS,or the price of crude oil and the Avengers stopped him that time

omonnakoda:

Check out the Education profiles of the Energy Ministers
in
Brazil,
Japan
India,
France ,
Germany,
United Kingdom and
South Korea. NONE of the is an Engineer.In fact they do not have a science background.
In Russia he is an ECONOMIST

In fact the most common qualification seems to be a degree in Economics

Can someone please exlain what degree you need to become the next Dangote.??

Any University degree even in religious studies is good enough. Ultimately what is required to be a Minister is political and administrative experience. Ministers are not technocrats that is NOT their job

StOla:


Give the government time. We all know that no case has been successfully prosecuted yet. The judicial system is a mess and cases would stall if the defendants grease the palms of the right judges.

Jide Omokore was reputed to have returned some money, despite that, he was recently charged to court. So you see such monies are still untouchable for now.

The Buhari campaign made promises we all hoped could be achieved, but promises have to be fulfilled with funds.

We are broke as a nation, it is not Buhari's fault, but it is his responsibility to get us out.

omonnakoda:
Where did I blame Jonathan? You feel you have to be rude and insolent to make things interesting

neyobills:


Well thats not been rude but stating things the wat they are,I hate people trying to build up excuses for Fashola,he said it with his mouth that he will fix the power problems in six month,anything short of that makes him a scam artist except he comes out tomorrow to apologize to Nigerians he was high when he made the statement.

StOla:


Yes they have failed, else your round pegs would have solved all the problems. So let us see what square pegs would achieve in 1.5yrs.

They must perform a miracle or magic to satisfy your irrational expectation of overnight success.

And how is it the work of an Engineer? Why is a Teacher good enough in Germany, a lawyer in France,
A graduate of international relations in Japan and an economics graduate in the UK

Are we to believe these countries are short of engineers

BeeBeeOoh:
That's the real definition of Square Peg In A Round Hole

Are you also aware that minister of labour, Mr Chris Ngige studied "Surgery?? Even our minister of Agriculture studied " French..



Buhari sef

StOla:


Give him an economy that earns oil revenue at $100+ per barrel which was what the government he was criticizing earned in 4/5years, then see if necessary infrastructure for generation, transmission and distribution cannot be actualised in 6months.

GEJ was a failure, Fashola spoke the truth, we kicked GEJ out for his failure so stop sulking like a baby.

Infrastructure is built with funds not on credit.

sholadunju:
thats what u get when the president is a Herdsman

neyobills:


Have u bothered to find out how many megawatts of electricity was added to the national grid during the GEJ tenure,how many has Buhari added in his first tenure and his ongoing tenure,have u found out how much this present administration is earning,what about the funds from subsidy removal which,funds from the needless VAT on every 1k at the bank,recovered loots nko,were u in mars when the electricity tariff was hiked with nothing to show for it,abeg stop been clever by half biko.

StOla:


Tell me how many megawatts of electricity the GEJ regime added.

I know for a FACT that the OBJ regime celebrated 4000MW of electricity towards the end of 2006. I was surprised to see that the GEJ regime also celebrated the same 4000MW of electricity towards end of 2014.

It felt like a de javu. Who is deceiving who between the previous 4000MW and the GEJ version 2.0?

The current government has also announced that for the 1st time in the history of Nigeria, we have surpassed 5000MW installed capacity.

Let us see what they would attain in 4years even with crude oil selling below $50 per barrel.

One advice I would give to the Buhari regime is to make sure that the notorious and perennial power contractor, Sir Emeka Offor is made persona non grata as regards any future power contracts. He got loads of these contracts under OBJ, he also got same under GEJ, and we repeated 4000MW twice between 2006 and 2014, instead of moving forward.

BeeBeeOoh:
Fashola a.k.a Mr. Rocket Science is really trying to justify his incompetency & ineptitude..



A Serious Government Will Fix Its Power Problems In 6months - Fashola

ReubenE:
That is religion for us over here.
Africans generally and Nigerians in particular are slaves to religion....not all though.

Some even abandon their parents and love ones because they had a bad dream.
People now pray for God to show to them whom to marry, which trade to do, who to talk to and whom not to talk to etc the list is endless.

Not too long ago, a friend told me that he had a nightmare where someone was manipulating him. When he woke up in the morning, his aunt was the first person he met and she queried him about his night (out of love I guess). He therefore concluded that she is the one responsible, and even told here that he'll no longer eat her food.

With the type of religion practiced in Nigeria, everyone other than ourselves are suspects.

omonnakoda:
Possibly. I don't like him myself but lawyers can make very good energy ministers

omonnakoda:
Do you have evidence for this??
You are just saying what you would like to be true

How did we put in place what we already have today

The late Mohammed Hassan from Gombe was the Minister of Mines and Power under Shagari when the Egbin thermal Station was built .He was not an Engineer. He read LAW at Ahmadu Bello University

logicab:
I simply said, that I believe an engineer is what we need at the moment. Well, maybe a lawyer who at least can identify that the real issue we have is the silly "National Grid" concept.

Standing5:
This doesn't change the fact that Fashola is a misfit as a power minister. The man thinks Nigeria is lagos where he can generate power in one street and transmit to another street for use. Large power plants takes much more time and money to build for a start. These plants Need dedicated pipeline network that span the length and breadth of this country for fuel supply. They also need a interconnected transmission system that covers long distances.

omonnakoda:
That is one option but there is no Divine law that says we MUST have an interconnected transmission system

Standing5:
a connected grid is the right step to follow and every nation has it.

jneutron4000:
what incompetency are you talking about Na him body or fluid for him body him go use generate power?

Daboomb:


Fashola could at least contract it to qualified companies, give a time-line for completion and pay them in instalments.

He had almost two years now to do that!

All these yarn about "Sango" is making him appear clueless.
