To all those who daily engage me on the power situation in their respective places of abode and their experience with the Discos on 'crazy estimated Billings & power outages', here’s the best explanation for
you;
“In 2011, Jonathan sold our electricity distribution licenses to incompetent companies that have no experience on electricity. When the then Minister of power; Prof. Barth Nnaji advised that it was not a good decision, he was sacked immediately and replaced with Prof Nebo.
You remember?
This contract of sale of the electricity distribution licenses were made irrevocable but renewable. To this end power became privatised since 2011.
When this government came on board, it discovered that the DISCOS were not ready to render services but to reap and
recoup their investment capital immediately. The government could not repudiate the contracts because of the irrevocability clause and the doctrine of sanctity of contract. The hands of government became tied.
Then the blame is on government because the masses are unaware that
power like telecommunications has been privatised by the PDP. They sold the licenses to their girlfriends and cronies that were hitherto into fast food business. The DISCOS started disconnecting communities from the supplies in the name of estimated bulk billing system.
This
government stepped in and went out of its way by providing incentives such as duty waivers and credit facilities to the GENCOs. This was done to boost power generation which was less than 3000 megawatts at the time Buhari took over. Today, power generation is over 7000 megawatts!
There is electricity but the distribution is the problem. The DISCOs are not ready to provide pre-paid metres, transformers amongst others to consumers. The estimated billing system and bulk billing system are frauds.
Next year, the licenses of these capitalist rapists will
become due for renewal and they are already shivering that this government will not renew that stupid contract that kept us in darkness."
IT WILL NOT BE RENEWED

Few days ago, the Vanguard newspaper published the news that President Goodluck Jonathan administration generated N51 trillion from crude oil sales between 2007-2015. In 2015, when I raised the issue that @GEJonathan generated more
revenue than what all the administrations from 1960-2007 had generated, @OfficialPDPNig mob asked me for the evidence.
I've no doubt in my mind that the PDP is a prodigal and irresponsible administration. Even if the regime generated N100 trillion, they'd still have collapsed
the economy and borrowed to pay salary.
By 2012, Nigeria supposed to have covered 40 percent of her infrastructural deficits, expanded her industrial capacities and moved to number 20 on Global Economic ranking.
PDP spent all their years playing dangerous politics and seriously
When President Olusegun Obasanjo, a Christian, set up the Oputa Panel in 2001, Justice Charles Oputa, a Christian, was appointed Chairman while Reverend Matthew Hasaan Kukah was appointed Secretary, and the entire panel was dominated by
Christians.
Of note was, Reverend Kukah didn't find it worthy to intimate President Obasanjo of the lopsided nature of the panel, which had a Christian Chairman and a Christian Secretary. But the bigger noteworthiness was the fact that Muslims in Nigeria didn't complain, and
neither did they threaten to go to war over this gross nepotism and favouritism, in spite of the fact that most of those to be investigated and tried by the Oputa Panel were Muslims. You can imagine the hell that could have been raised by Nigeria's special breed of hypocrites if
RELIGIOUS GOWNS SHOULDN'T BE AN IMMUNITY FOR CRIMINALS AND ROGUES!
The dictum that says no body is above the law is exactly what it means or what it implies. Which exactly means that anyone who commits any crime or blows a dog whistle to coupists to violently
overthrow a government over baseless claims built on sheer bigotry, hate and sentiments deserve no protection of any kind from legitimate arrest and prosecution for their crimes. By Nigerian laws, the only caliber of people exempted from arrest and prosecution for any crime they
commit are the President, Vice President, State Governors and their Deputies, and this is even while they are in office but can be arrested and prosecuted after they leave office.
In order words, criminals and insurgents masquerading as religious leaders don't fall into the
Last night, the President sacked the director general of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE), Nasiru Ladan Argungun for obvious various offences ranging from insubordination of his Supervising Minister, the Honourable
Minister of State, Labour and Productivity, @fkeyamo, SAN and being a clog in the wheels of the Administration's progress.
Not many knew that both Keyamo and Argungun had been having a silent fierce battle on who should direct the Special Public Works job where 774,000
Nigerians have been recruited by the FG, since the @HouseNGR summoned both of them months back which stirred a heated argument. The erstwhile DG began disrespecting Keyamo after the @SPNigeria asked him to take control of the Programme and report directly to the @nassnigeria
