Melezenawii: Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu Restores Electricity to Bende Communities After 23 Years
Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, on Monday commissioned a rehabilitated power line project that has restored electricity supply to Bende Federal Constituency in Abia State, ending over two decades of darkness in the area.
The project reconnects the towns of Uzuakoli and Ozuitem to the national grid, bringing reliable power to communities that have depended solely on generators and solar systems since 2002.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony in Bende, Kalu expressed profound joy at the milestone, noting that previous attempts to restore power had failed despite significant efforts. He highlighted the economic impact, stating that the restored electricity will revive small-scale businesses, spur cottage industries, and attract factories to the region.
Kalu strongly urged residents to protect the new installations, warning that vandalism would not be tolerated. He called on Presidents-General of autonomous communities, traditional rulers, and youths to form vigilante groups to safeguard the infrastructure.
He said, “We thank God for this worthy development. Darkness has vanished in Bende. In the last 24 years, it's been either solar or a generator. I have tried in the past to make this happen, unfortunately, it failed but this one, I insisted, it must work even though it cost us so much... This will revive small-scale businesses in Bende. Cottage industries and factories will also spring up
Someone should tell this baby clown that he will never be governor of Abia State. After Oti, another sane technocrats will take over. Abia is not for sale
helinues: Should the Obidients be expecting votes from North in 2027?
These people don't even care about the consequences of their own actions.
Look back, what have you achieved for years with your type of politics?
After claiming that the strike was conducted with the approval of the Nigeria government, you do a u-turn and blame Igbos for the same attack you earlier took credit for. As for your question about what the Ignos have achieved with their type of politics, the right question should have been what has Nigeria achieved with your type of politics?
promisechris63: Tinubu’s lobbyist are at work utilizing the $9m to propagate cheap propaganda.. To pitch the north against the east, you are telling sane Nigerians that a whole US government took their military intelligence from a "Screwdriver" trader to launch attack on terrorist zones in the north.. 😂😂😂
This is an advance ambush to make Obi undesirable to the Northern Muslim voters in the event he picks ADC ticket as the APC spinners suspect.
Northernblood7: They are projecting Southeast for h8red. Watch out as Nigerians will suddenly forget all attrocities committed by Bandits and face innocent people.
Do they love the south east before? Let them continue doing what they love you do. Igbos care less
So the screwdriver seller prompted the terrorists to assemble in sokoto in readiness for the Boxing day killing spree before they were stopped by Trump’s bomb a day before. Ndi ara
KobolanderSegun: Me I am Laughing..... In 2026 men are still prioritizing Female Virginity as a yardstick for marriage ? In 2026 !!!
What about Female Intelligence, Female Wisdom, Female Comportment, Female Financial Literacy ? They are not even looking to see whether she can cook. But No she must be a Virgin.
I cannot speak for everyone but no wonder Africa is so backward when you place so much energy on a state God created but you will not look for attributes that come with self development.
None of those other qualities add any real value to the marriage like purity does. Purity is prized over all those. While those can be learnt, purity cannot just be reacquired once lost. You get it?
sirjamesjnr: There is no sure thing as a sexual quota. And there is no such thing as a ‘hoe’. Men that slut-shaming women are not mature to be in a grown-up relationship. No lady is not accountable to any man for her past. It's none of a man's business.
That lady A has one guy she sleep with when she was 15 till she clocks 30 and married, lady B has a body count of 100 before her 30th birthday. The truth is the two ladies have sex and they don't owe you any explanation.
If you are going to marry for 'purity" look for a virgin girl. Do not condemn a man who wants a team player, homemaker, companion, and someone who can resonate with him. A virgin girl can tick all the boxes agreed. If you found that virgin girl with these qualities good luck. There is a lady out there for every man. Time is hard, while the world is moving forward, the Average Nigerian man is talking about body count. Shouldn't you be worried about a lady who can build a great home with you so your generation won't abuse you? Whether you are wealthy or you are coming up, I will like to think you need a proper woman to build your home with you.
My time in this uncertain world, both in the corporate world and among great minds. What we care about are ladies with decent character, basic moral values, ethics, cleanliness, abilities to accept responsibility, and willingness to learn something good. Never for once within this circle of friends and learned mind do we care about what a woman does with her body. What you do when you are in a relationship with me is what matters.
To that man who is in a decent relationship: I know how you feel. When you develop strong feelings for a girl, it’s hard to think of her being with other guys. Even though you can rationalize that her past relationships happened before you met, it doesn’t make it any easier to accept that there were others who had been intimate with her. But you can’t dwell on this. It will destroy you, and it will destroy your relationship with your girlfriend.
Unless your girlfriend is the kind of girl that is very flirtatious, and who loves all the attention that she can get from guys, you probably don’t have anything to worry about. If she were a “hoe” she wouldn't want to have a decent relationship. So how do you get over this? There are only two things that I know of that you can do:
1. Don’t torture yourself with the details. There is no reason for you to know with whom she did it, how many times they did it, what positions they did it in, how big the guys were, and if they were better in bed than you or not. As tempting as it is to ask her these things—don’t! And stop her from volunteering that kind of information. Knowing these things will not help you or your relationship with your girlfriend in any way. They will only become mental and emotional burdens to you—obstacles and barriers that you will constantly have to overcome in order to treat her the way that she deserves to be treated. You protect yourself and you protect your relationship when you avoid rubbing your nose in her past.
2. Change the way that you look at people. Start realizing that every one of us is screwed up in some way. There are no perfect people. Every single one of us does dumb things and makes mistakes in our quest to find love and belonging. Your girlfriend is no exception. Choose to see her through the eyes of love and compassion, rather than through the eyes of judgment and condemnation.
To our ladies. I have one thing to say to you. You don’t need to apologize for your past relationships, and you don't need to explain yourself to any man. Simply understand that all you need is to be loved by someone, and if it didn’t work out, move on and build your life. Hopefully, your next relationship will work out for you.
Me personally? I’ve never longed to be with a virgin except for an ex and my girl(I am not with her because of sexual purity). I prefer my sexual partners to already know their way around their own sexuality. That means they’ve gotten some practice. Now I understand that as a man you need some certain confidence that some of you may are probably still forming. But when someone says something derogatory about the woman I’ve chosen to love I don’t reconsider my love. I conclude the person saying it is an idiot and ignore them in the future. I have faith in myself which leads me to have faith in the people I choose as partners.
Ladies out there, know the class of men you allow into your life. Be responsible for your actions.
Then being broke should also mean nothing. Women that broke-shame men are also immature and u reasonable. It is not anybody's brokeness. Why cry more than the bereaved?
BlakKluKluxKlan: So in your own view, PDP had the interest of Nigerians at heart then ? And APC does not now and it's not a national party ? Dey play. Tinubu did the best thing to have removed the oil subsidy, and neither Atiku nor Obi would've been able to manage the economy as Tinubu has done And failure to remove the subsidy means by now, Nigeria would've gone bankrupt. Do you think removing the subsidy was a small deal ? Something even Buhari, a general, a Fulani with his cabal and cult followership was scared to do ? Tinubu is the man to handle this country and place it on a better footing. Even the born-to-rule singers are now scared of him. Can anyone ever have imagined that he would've been able to cage Shettima ? Did you not notice that the ACF and Miyetti Allah have gone mute and bark no more ? Have you not noticed that as he travels, he has never handed over to Shettima and no one from the north said anything ? Not even the garrulous Ndume and ACF ? For now, only Tinubu is the man in the horizon that can handle this country to the betterment of everyone in general and the south in particular.
I will have you know that the coup was real and was billed to be bloody. There's more to it than you know. It was an Area agenda that failed woefully which they never expected. The master strategist will use that as an added bargaining chip. By the time you see APC's votes from the north, then you will remember this comment. Bookmark it. NOTHING moves Tinubu. He is a mountainous candidate !!!
So in your opinion, Tinubu is managing the economy well?
Putindbutt: You're still asking mumu-ish questions?. The questions you should be asking are- why did US strikes succeed in Venezuela, Iran, but failed in Nigeria despite conducting several weeks of surveillance?.
You guys really think US love Nigerian Christians sooo much more than other Christians in Africa where terrorists are rampaging?.
A country that has not saved itself from daily mass shootings in his own backyard but want to save your own ass?..
US have been hitting terrorists in Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, everywhere YET NO SUCCESS. They had to run away from some of these countries. They even abadoned their multimillion dollar weapons to the terrorists in Afghanistan.
Why are you guys elevating Trump and USA to a god-like status?.
I don't want US to come to Nigeria and turn our country into proxy war. Everywhere US enters, they escalates terrorism and attracts more terrorists networks trying to fight back. You guys crying on the shoulder of Trump are the real enemies of Nigeria. You're delusional by thinking Trump is the beginning and the end to all your problems.
My advice is for Trump to fast-track the delivery of weapons to us so that we can fight it by ourselves. Almost one year , they have been delaying 12 attack helicopters we ordered for. Let them stop delaying those weapons. That's why we're looking to Turkey and Italy as alternatives.
Senator Orji Uzo Kalu saidduring a visit to his state: “APC must win every position in Abia State come 2027. I supported Alex Otti in the 2023 election, which helped him win, but in 2027, APC will take over. It’s the turn of Abia North. If Alex Otti is a good man, he could be in our party, APC...”
Meaning that Abians will reward the 3 immediate past Abia Governors. who are all in APC right now, for ruining Abia state for a cumulative 24 years.
Dailymemoirs4: Fubara's supporters are very funny people. They claim Tinubu was supporting Wike that's why Fubara was suspended but now that Fubara is in APC Tinubu will favour Fubara above Wike. The same people who thanked Tinubu for saving Fubara through the state of emergency. How can you thank a man for suspending you to help you and still claim he was supporting your opponent that's why he suspended you? If Tinubu suspended you to help you why did you protest against same Tinubu and take him to court for suspending you. These people are so desperate that they would do anything just to get at Wike. They decmaped to APC out of fear for Wike not because they love Tinubu. They want to use Tinubu as a tool to fight Wike. They are not interested one bit in his reelection. They are same people who have been insulting him on social media as a certificate forger and election grabber. The Tinubu I know is wise enough to know that they don't love him more than Wike..They need him out of fear for Wike.
Nobody loves the other in politics. It is always a game of interest and leverage.
JuanDeDios: Moderate Muslim is actually a factor against him. Muslims don't rate him - I've found this out from interacting with Northern Muslims. Others (who are religion-conscious) don't rate him either, since they see him as a Muslim.
I agree with you. Both moderate and religious-conscious Muslims buy from a special discount market and are immune to the bad governance in the country. Religious mumu
Kobojunkie: Nigerian women need to do better when it comes to raising their boys. All these women married to men they keep propping up—awon cover your husband's shame endurance wives out there —, pretending that they do good by reducing their efforts to make the man look good, only to keep hurting their children with these lies. How in the world would these boys understand the true value of their mothers in these relationships if they are constantly seeing their mothers lying on behalf of fathers who may be nowhere in the picture?
I am not certain what transpired, but given that the woman posted the video, it seems she feels her efforts in the home go unappreciated, and something (bitter feminism and narcissism) tells me it may have to do with her not telling her children the truth.
That boy's resentment towards his mother did not come out of nowhere. He has probably had it for a long time that the mother is merely a mooch who contributes nothing to his life and development as a whole, and that is a problem that mothers need to pay attention to early in their development.

ozo13: Us*less politicians everywhere. After all the talk and talk. He didn't give ADC position ooo.one can see this guys are just after how they can get to power and continue where APC stop and not doing all this because of good mind. So una wan set the APC govt against Trump.No be like this this lai Mohammed convince people then nah when APC was in opposition
ADC is simply saying that credibility is the currency needed by any government to enable them join issues on global happenings, especially such involving first worlds. Unfortunately, this government lacks that and is keeping mum as a consequence out of fear of being embarrassed.
Ghostagain: I don't think any USA court of law has the authority to judge a kidnapped foreign leader. If the USA justice system really works well, then maduro will walk free, even the dumbest lawyer can successfully defend maduro on this case.
Trump is an idiot.
You think theirs is like Nigerian Judiciary that has been kidnapped by politicians?
AMINDA: Why sign an agreement with Wike if you have no plans to follow through? He wasn't forced, was he? A man's words should be his bond, but obviously not Tinubu. How should Nigerians then trust him to keep to his campaign promises? Tinubu now has a reputation for leaving his allies at their most vulnerable points after getting what he wants. It's now clear that he was behind Fubura going rogue all this while. He was just pretending. He's also the one behind the crisis between Magnus Abe and Amaechi, Alia and Akume, Uba Sani and Elrufai, Abba Kabir and Kwankwaso, two emirs in Kano, etc. He engineers crisis between two parties and then attempts to benefit from both sides.
How can Wike sign an agreement on a transaction that does not belong exclusively to him? Make it make sense please
Fountainofyouth: So his problem with CU is the strict rules and chapel attendance lmao, I read all he said and I don't see any illegal thing they do at CU, they want a private Christian University where students can live as married couple, where sex and money can be exchanged for good grades, where 1st class is for lecturers only, where buying handouts from lecturers qualifies you for good grades etc
These sets will say anything to bring the christian faith and their schools down by any means, forgetting that Christianity brought development and civilisation to Nigeria and Africa as a whole
We are obviously in an era where Christians are being persecuted all over the world, but they will never prevail, the gates of hell can never prevail, and Covenant University will continue to be the best University in Nigeria.
When the misconduct of one man who happens to be a Christian is called out, it is termed an attack on Christianity. Is Bishop Oyedepo Christianity? You people are gradually but steadily delving into paganism, yet oblivious. So unfortunate
