PMB is rebooting Nigeria - and the obvious truth is; Nigeria is comparable to a Pentium 1 Computer System, because the previous Governments failed to upgrade it to meet or close to the present update!

Nigerian youth are the enemies of Nigeria. If you don't have hope in Nigeria, your destiny is at stake! The honourable Man is busy working, but some hopeless educated illiterate busy spitting trash.

Yet you are waiting for better Nigeria. I don't blame all of you who derogate the effort of BRF. That's why you remain unemployed because you lack sense of reasoning for solution, but only to criticise.

Nigeria will rise again, if you believe so shall your destiny rise like Dangote. But if you doubt BRF, may your destiny no remain static.....

FG said this.. FG said that... FG has... When will we see d outcome Tired of this country

Haters can never offer constructive criticisms. It's not in them.

December isn't too far. Wait till then and shout if BRF fails

Nigerians are ready to pay provided there is power supply.


Nigeria is a peace loving nation blessed with mineral resources.

And I pray this government don't let us down which am very optimistic that they will perform the hardship will only last for an euphemism period of time.

Good....but not good enough

That only means that at best , everyone in Nigeria gets 12 hours power supply.

What Nigeria needs is 20000MW at least....and a new transmission system.

And it starts by allowing states to control the power they generate...instead of donating it to the National Grid all the time.

Good one by FG !!!
