I’ve been restraining myself from getting into this #OBJ palava but this $16Bn on power really got to me and would make some few remarks;
.
In 2008, I was at an Energy seminar in Switzerland with the facilitator bragging of the Zurich Power Plants which at the time would cost....
$20Bn for a new plant of that size (can’t remember the capacity but the plant was sufficient for the entire energy of Zurich and it’s environ) ....I was shocked at the cost of a new power plant at the time as this was just about the time that $16Bn news broke...
I demanded to know from the facilitator of the feat can be replicated elsewhere especially in Nigeria 🇳🇬; that was my biggest mistake ever as I was thoroughly embarrassed with the response I got...the moment the facilitator got into how corruption has made it impossible ....
For them to work with FG at the time, had I know, I would kept quite and seek for private session but my 9ja no dey gree made me throughly schooled of the corruption pandemics that pervades that era...when your facilitator can openly affirmed that they were asked to see Baba....
One of the class members asked for clarification on what’s “Baba” and that was when all let loose...Oyinbo sabi our President as Baba and that without them “seeing” him nothing can be done...jaw dropped and my classmates eyes were on me...long story’s short....
The IPP was withdrawn as they could not met the “Baba terms”
.
Enron Power Project in Lagos floated by the BAT at the time & how same was frustrated by OBJ; Lagos would have been on at least stable power if that project was backed up by FG at the time...story for another day...🚶🏿‍♂️
