Ondo & Ekiti States In Total Blackout For 7days And Still Counting? by Babakenny(m): 7:33pm On May 18, 2012
Both Ondo and Ekiti states are totally shut out of electricity supply for nearly 7 days now. It started on Friday 6th May,2012 up till now and today makes it a week.

What I don't understand is why government is not doing anything to address the situation. I don't know if the problem affect Osogbo too, because that's where the supply comes from to both Ondo and Ekiti States.. This is barbaric and only God knows when this nation will develop from erractic supply of electricity or should I call it no 'electricity at all?'

Give us light oooo so that we can watch the CHELSEA match tomorrow...

Up CHELSEA!!! WE ARE NEW CHAMPION!!!!!

I think Ekiti state should be ceded off to Benin Republic, so the entire land can be used by the Beninoise for banana plantation.

IT WILL TAKE LESS THAN A YEAR, HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK IT COST A STATE GOVERNOR TO BUY A PRIVATE JET. THAT MONEY CAN BUILD A POWER STATION FOR 5 LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

Perhaps you can help us beg those federal fools for true federalism cos they are in charge of power and are doing a piss poor job of it. Who should we call? Do the governors control the transmission lines that are defective?

Its the same thing in my area of greater port harcourt, it is alleged that heavy rain brought down some poles in the emohua area which evacuates power from omoku gas turbine, this is like the 7th day and there is no end in sight. Thw worst thing is that on the 13th day the poles would be fixed and on the 16th day another rain would fall and maybe bring down more poles in the ndele area so back to square zero meanwhile the bills are always the same and increasing in the midst of darkness.

does your post make sense?how do you expect a state like ekiti that gets 1.4billion naira monthly as allocation with a wage bill of almost 1.2billion to afford a power station sufficient for ekiti state in one year?lets analyse our comments and ensure they are sensible before clicking submit

I said this before in another thread but nobody paid me attention. Instead of benin however, I suggested the whole ekiti should be used as Nigerian farm

who is this?are you sure you know how nigeria operates?power generation is solely a federal government affair.the states government decided to contribute their own quota by building IPPs but as i recall OBJ insisted the IPPs were to generate power to the national grid for redistribution round the country.this discouraged many states who felt the IPPs would generate solely for their states.yaradua soft pedalled a little by agreeing to give states the generate electricity preference in distribution but their IPPs were still to generate to the national grid.people dont even understand the complexities involved.they just make baseless assumptions

the president is to be blamed in this particular case afterall according to ghost worker Namadi Sambo Nigerians would have been enjoying 24/7 electricity if yaradua (bless his soul) is still in power
