saraki how far na

Officialpdpnig:
My party never finishes anything! PDP is cursed as long as they refuse to rebrand they are cursed.

See saraki now making noise in PDP while he has brought tears to so many in kwara.

Thunder fire saraki and PDP

Since you're official PDP.. By virtue of your statement, you are cursed. And may thunder fire you!

Well, that's how people take curses on themselves and their future unborn children.

You are official PDP, and u want thunder to fire PDP, so it will fire you, PDP is cursed and you're officialnpdp so you're cursed forever bro.

I bet you, you'll require serious deliverance to take away the curse you have cursed yourself.

Sometimes, people play with tiny things that have massive repercussions later in life. If this person become completely miserable in life, wouldn't know it was the curses he placed on himself, he'll go abt seeking for prayers, blaming ancestors and uncles for what he placed on himself.

Damn!

Pls stop quoting me with nonsense. I am a moniker and not official PDP. I may be a supporter but I am not the party core.

The demons who carry out the effect of curses know those to afflict and its all the liars, thieves and crooks in PDP and in this case, most especially saraki and Atiku

Unfortunately, you claim to be the official PDP so all the curses you place on PDP will be on your head since you're the officialpdp.

Only you claim to be the PDP here, so may the curses be on your head. You're the only officialpdp we know on nairaland. Goodluck with all the curses you have placed on PDP, as the officialpdp may they be on your head.

100 Kwara communities without electricity for over 100 years

https://mrrightsng..com/2018/11/100-kwara-communities-without.html?m=1

Over 70 communities in Gwanara district of Baruten Local government area of Kwara State and another 30 communities in Aawe District of Asa Local Government Area in Kwara state are yet to have power supply for over 100 years after their creation.

In a report by News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), head of Aawe District, Alhaji Oba Daudu-Suleiman confirm the development.

‘This is not the beautiful oil city that we used to know’ The district head who disclosed this to NAN in Aawe on Monday, described the development as unacceptable.

He said the non provision of electricity and other infrastructural facilities like good roads in the communities had retarded the growth and development of the areas.

The district head listed some of the affected communities to include: Olowo, Atere, Elelu, Ogunbo, Yede, Ogundeji, Danbudo, Okoolowo, Afo, Ologede, Layeri, Ajengba, Afonta and Ode Magaji, among others.

He appealed to the state government to come to the aid of the communities as a way of bringing development to the grassroots.

He said the provision of electricity in rural communities would curb rural-urban migration and create employment for teeming youths in the areas.

Daudu-Suleiman also urged the state government to urgently find lasting solution to the power outage confronting Aawe in the last five years.

He said that the power outage was caused by rainstorm, adding that the development had crippled social and economic activities of the town.


An indegene of Baruten, Kayode Gobir stated that ‘’in my town (chikanda) and 70 others, we have never had light for once here since I was born and i am now 23 year old.

I never experienced anything like electric light in my town except generators and it was said to have been like that for over 100years.

In 2002/2003, late Governor Alabi Lawal
try to fix our electricity, they installed the poles and everything,but they couldn’t complete it before he left office.

However, since 2003 till date, no government ever did anything to complete it;
neither did they do anything else. As a matter of fact, people now use
those electric poles for spreading cloths.

Permanent Secretary, state Ministry of Energy, Mr Sunday Moses, who also spoke to NAN confirmed the revelation of the district head, adding that the ministry was aware that several communities across the state were yet to enjoy electricity.

He said that the state government was working round the clock, within its available resources, toward ensuring that electricity got to the nooks and crannies of the state, to bring more development.

“Several communities have written letters of request to the ministry, we have informed the state government of their requests, we are working round the clock on the issue,“ he said

it is buharis fault and he will go back to daura

slimfit1:
They should ask bukola for the light now.

How is Bukola? Over 100 years they don't have Governors then right?
Think before you talk.

How is Bukola? Over 100 years they don't have Governors then right? How old is Nigeria? You go and ask Britain...
Think before you talk.

BruncleZuma:


Electricity in Nigeria is just 89 years old, so what type was the community expecting?

The Binis had electricity generated from palm oil over 500 yrs ago. Until colonisation destroyed these techs

So the British are the once that will provide light for them really. The people that left us how many years ago.So you actually think before talking, i wonder what will happen when you don't think. Bukola has been governor for 11 years now so i have every right to call his name out.

I never knew Kwara state is up to 100 when Nigeria is 58

Could the bolded community be the progenitor of afonja

too bad.

DMerciful:
Fasola is responsible. Thought he said its not rocket science. If GEJ had done 90%, they would have rushed to complete it so as to take the glory. Going only for 90% completion

Who does the buck stops at his table?

OP, your title is misleading, did those communities have electricity 100yrs ago? Or rather, they never had electricity?

Saraki the father robbed them for many years now the son has taken over the batten, robbing them with reckless abandon.

I reside in ilorin, Asa Dam Road. Osin Community to be precise. We don't have road and electricity in my community till date.

You this guy leave me alone, we all know that this SP is still the governor of Kwara state. Bukola the undercover governor. I know what I'm saying the current governor is a muppet and a puppet whatever, bukola says goes only you pretend not to know.

Still over 100 years? lol.

yublings:
The OP is not far from the truth. I did my youth service at Ilesha-baruba of Baruten 2014/2015, and during my stay there, there was no power supply for up to a month in a whole calender year. Quite interesting though, made us feel like we were living in the stone age.

One month nikan?
I did my NYSC is Yashikira. . .for the whole one year I was there ,there was no light.

Ologogoro:

I served in Baruten. Yashikira community.

Wow!! Did you enjoyed life during your stay? And did you also visited Benin Republic ?

Ologogoro:


Wow!!
Did you enjoyed life during your stay? And did you also visited Benin Republic ?

Lol, I reached the border frequently at Chikanda to buy stuff but I never went over. It wasn't necessary to ho to. Niki or Parakou.
I live in Sango Otta in Ogun state which is so close to Idi-Iroko border to Benin. . .there was no need for me to go as I normally go to Cotonou through our own border at home.
I think I was the only one that the border never freaked . .cause everyone was so hell bent on crossing, lol.

To answer your first question, no, I didn't enjoy my stay, but I stayed.
