It also underlines the danger to which youths11/16/2009
The dastardly incident has once again brought to the fore the issue of insecurity of life generally in the country and especially the issue of incessant acts of violence against women and young girls.

It also underlines the danger to which youths on mandatory national service are exposed far away from their states of origin. Only last year, three naughty castles corps members were gruesomely murdered during the Jos ethno-religious crisis. And several youth corpers have met their untimely deaths in road accidents on their way to or from their places of primary assignments.

The fate of the late Miss Ushang, especially the nature of her death, is particularly pathetic. For a promising young girl, who laboured through thick and thin to acquire university education, to be so callously cut down in the prime of her freshwater pearl earrings life, is blood-curdling. Also gone is her lofty dream of completing her national service and thereafter contributing her quota to national development.

But the perpetrators of this tragic incident should not go unpunished. The Borno State Police Command should leave no stone unturned in seeing cultured pearl jewlery that the attackers of Miss Ushang are apprehended and punished accordingly.

Were the assailants religious bigots11/16/2009
Were the assailants religious bigots as being insinuated in some media reports or mere randy rapists on the loose? If the murderers were motivated by a so-called religious zeal to rid Maiduguri streets of trouser-wearing ladies, as some reports had it, then they must be people from outer space who have probably never heard of the NYSC scheme nor seen female corpers before. For, it would be strange in deed if anybody in the country would at this game machines point take offence at the mode of dressing of female participants in a national scheme that has been in existence since 1973. Even so if the criminals were incensed by Ushang's NYSC khaki trousers, how did raping and thereafter killing her solve the problem?

However, from the dastardly act, it was clear that the rapists were motivated by reasons other than religion or even dress-code. They were just a freshwater pearl necklace prowling gang of demented and bloodthirsty youths out to satisfy their randy criminal desires.

The rising spate of sexual violence is a sign of a socially and morally bankrupt society. This is quite unacceptable and everything must be done to put a stop to this crime against womanhood in particular and humanity in general. The perpetrators, when arrested, should be made to face the full wrath of the law.

While we commiserate with the parents and the entire family of the unfortunate corps member, we call on the Borno State government and the NYSC wholesale pearl jewelry Directorate to work out adequate compensation packages for the Ushang family for the irreparable and agonising loss of their daughter. Circumstances leading to this ugly incident should be investigated and corpers given regular advisory of dangerous spots at their posting locations.

Government's response is sometimes11/16/2009
Nigeria's electricity supply is getting worse by the day and cannot support efforts at joining the information communication technology, ICT, which drives the world.

Attempts in the past 10 years to address the situation were just sloganeering. Government's excuses were either the gas pipelines that supply feedstock to a thermal power station were vandalised, or the power transmission lines had been naughty castles stolen. Sometimes water levels are too low for hydro power stations or systems collapse occurs. Excuses cannot improve anyone's electricity supply.

Government's response is sometimes comical. In 2000, the Federal Government announced the end of blackouts at a party to thank the Technical Committee on Power Supply on the great work it has done. Then, government regaled Nigerians with freshwater pearl jewelry stories of increase in electricity generation and said the next areas for attention were transmission and distribution.

The situation today is bad enough to prompt the emergency on electricity that President Yar'Adua promised in 2007 as presidential candidate of the PDP.

Hundreds of billions of Naira has been freshwater pearl jewlelry spent on improving power supply, yet, it remains elusive. The National Integrated Power Project, NIPP, that would lead to the establishment of 10 new power stations across the country, is under way, but the bickering continues.

Cost of epileptic power11/16/2009
The Obasanjo administration commissioned the 480mw NNPC/Nigeria Agip Oil Company Okpai IPP in Delta State, in 2006, raising expectations that the addition to the national grid would improve power supply. It did not.

Egbin Thermal Power station, with 1320 mw  leisure chairs capacity, is poorly maintained, ageing, and still has the challenges of gas supply. It performs way below capacity. The standard story from PHCN is that the pipelines supplying gas feedstock to the plant have been vandalised.

Cost of epileptic power supply to the economy can never be adequately summed up. Other consequences like noise pollution and poisonous fumes from generators and attendant health hazards are never considered. We hope the akoya pearl necklace power project are completed soon.

The ambitions in Nigeria's vision documents cannot be achieved without adequate electricity supply. Poor power supply causes poverty, debilitates the people's potentials and creates extra costs for the implementation of social, economic and political programmes.

The challenges ahead are intimidating, but they have to be tackled. Nigeria has struggled for years to attain 6,000 megawatts of electricity. The pearl earrings wholesale Vision 2020 document states that Nigeria requires 60,000 megawatts of electricity to be among the world's 20 top nations. It has less than 11 years to hit the target!

He however said such threats would not deter him from going on with the reforms to cleanse the sector and make it more stable and reliable.
