RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA, TRUE FEDERALISM

Ethiopia is building Africa's largest dam called the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. When completed, the dam will generate 6,450MW of electricity! The entire project will cost $4.8billion. Ethiopia started work on that dam in 2010. The project is already over 60% completed as at today. Meanwhile, Nigeria's biggest dam project (Mambilla) will generate 3,000MW and will cost $5.8billion! This is a project we conceived since 1982. We have still not achieved even 5% completion! Compare both projects and countries and see for yourself.

Ethiopia has no crude oil and gas, yet they have left us behind. Take this weekend and read the Constitution of the Fed
