Everyone pays for power at N210 per kwh, with prices going up as the cost of producing one kwh of power goes up.
LIke I said, you won't like my answer. are you saying everyone is paying 210/kwh? |

TheCable had reported that President Bola Tinubu approved a request by NNPC to utilise the 2023 final dividends due the federation to pay for the subsidy. Tinubu aka Subsidy-is-gone is hallucinating and possibly very high. What a failure. In the day, he removed subsidy, in the night, he reinstated it. In the last eight to nine years, NNPC Ltd. has not paid anybody a dime as a subsidy; no one has been paid kobo by NNPC Ltd. in the name of subsidy,” Ajiya said. Which subsidy did they remove then? This people are taking us for a ride. Look at the conflicting story being told. Didn't we hear them say they subsidized for Nigerians, but the product is smuggled to neighboring countries? Tinubu aka Subsidy-is-gone is clueless. |

immortalcrown: May her soul rest in peace. May the criminal not escape justice.
But why does the caption have "Pastor's Son"? I mean, what does one thing have to do with another?
Did the crime happen because the suspect's father is a pastor?
Did the father who is the pastor join his son in the crime?
Since the occupation of the suspect's father is revealed, why not also reveal those of the suspect's mother and the victim's parents? You won't say this if it was a son of popular imam that was mentioned here. Hypocrisy! BTW, the pastor was arrested,too. You should also push for the mother of the suspect to be arrested. |

grandstar: How true is this?
The petrol price makes no sense.
The price of a litre of crude oil goes for N720 while a litre of petrol is N600. The maths does not add up.
IPMAN states that the fuel subsidy despite Tinubu's (futile) denials.
IPMAN is estimating federal government spends N700bn monthly subsidizing petrol. It charges that the petrol landing price is 1,100/litre.
There needs to be some opacity here. Somethings don't add up You have more products coming out of crude in the process of refining to get petrol. So crude should cost more. |

CodeTemplar: Clowns. If you use $500m to improve manpower in education and health, how many billions of usd will you use to pay salaries seeing it is easier to recruit than to pay salaries every month? Just tell us you are borrowing to pose as Giant of Africa, or how do we explain needing $500m to rectify staffing issues when every year those sectors get underfunded deliberately? To make matters worse, we just finished stoning the devil with about $150m (FG and states) yet need such amount to staff two sectors we all know govt dont care about. There's nothing anyone would tell me, world bank is giving us these loans to impoverish us, enable corruption and mortgage our future and destroy our economy. Their conditions for loan is not about ensuring we conduct good elections, it's about devaluing our currency, removing subsidy, etc. Very stupid leaders we've got. |

2Radii: Lol Well he might be right with his view is is exclusive to him.
The tin is, Those village orthodox churches use to give account of how they received and spent the church money/donations at the end of every year...in my hometown that is the norms actually so I was used to it before I left for the cities.
It was when I got to lagos I saw that there also used to be different churches with different ideas, management system and extortion techniques in the name of collecting dues and gifts.
Some of the churches are direct clones of the old orthodox churches we were used to in the village, same mode of service and all but the only difference is the way they collect money. These clones churches are hungrier for money more than a responsible family man. And the funny thing is that nothing like accountability or reports on how the money was spent. If u dare ask the pastors and some followfollow church members will blackmail u in front of other listening ears into believing u re a devil, antichrist, antipastor and a person who is not filled with the holy spirit. That time u need deliverance 
Laslas a no kuku dey attend church again 😂 😂 😂 😂 You sure does need deliverance. |
Politics › Re: Governor Sanwo-Olu Commissions Mushin Flyover by BALLOSKI: 7:43am On Aug 19, 2024 |
naptu2: I have seen all kinds of accidents take place along that route in over 40 years.
There used to be a yellow and black barrier along that route when I was a kid, it was lowered when a train was coming, to prevent cars from crossing, but it was stolen and rammed very many times. At one point the NRC decided not to replace the barrier, but instead they stationed a man with a flag at the level crossing. He waved his flag whenever the train was coming and traffic stopped. But some people did not stop because they believed that they could go faster than the train.
A train rammed a soft drinks truck along that route in the 1990s, a train rammed a car and carried it to the next station in the 2000s and just a few years ago a train rammed a Lagos State staff bus, killing some people.
The Lagos State Government and the Federal Government have decided that there should no longer be any level crossing along the route, in order to prevent conflict between cars/people and trains. The Lagos State Government is to build 5 flyovers along the route and the Federal Government will build 5 flyovers.
The route will also be walled off to prevent traders from trading on the rail tracks and squatters from living along the route. Pedestrian bridges have been built along with the flyovers.
The Lagos State Government has now built all its flyovers and these are:
1. Agege Pen Cinema FlyOver
2. Oyingbo FlyOver
3: Yaba FlyOver
4: Ikeja Flyover
5. Mushin Flyover.
The Federal Government is to build 5 flyovers, but it hasn't built any yet.

Aprocco: There had always been this competitiveness between Ijebu District where Daniel hails from and Egba where Amosun hails from. And it has been so since the days of the first Governor Bisi Onabanjo. Successive regimes have been rightfully or wrongly accused of developing their Districts of origin without much hassles. Every District just waited for its own turn.
Then it came Ijebu's Daniel turn who appeared like a maverick. Originated project that would forever tilt the superiority of the Ijebu Division; projects as Deep sea port (leveraging proximity to the sea), Dangote refinery (leveraging oil deposits), Agro Cargo Airport (to leverage Sagamu centrality).
Rather than come in to also initiate projects to equate the tilt. Amosun chose to cancel all projects in Ijebu to maintain Egba superiority.
It was a case of "Kaka ki eku ma je sese, a ma fi sawa danu ni" meaning- rather than give your division the upperhand, the state would rather lose the projects.
He went on to become the most sectional Governor the state ever knew. Unfondly called the Governor of Abeokuta. Oh... Egba and Ijebu competition was a factor too. Black people, we're not progressive. Where one come from shouldn't matter. I heard him mouthing he wanted power to shift to Ogun east then, he brought Abdulkabir and somehow, the party under Oshiomhole preferred Dapo and the ticket didn't go his way. Now I know why he schemed to get oshiomhole out. |

Aprocco: Would be governors need to be subjected to an induction course on the use of power particularly when you consider the constitutional requirement for the attainment of that position is secondary school certificate.
Amosun assumed the Ogun State Government position like an emperor. Giving orders for cancellation of everything in sight before opening a single file.
Within 24 hours, the golf course, one of the best in Nigeria was ordered to be demolished. I painfully remember the consequent demise of the owner
Permanent Secretaries sacked. He later complained when he realised the sacked Perm Secs would continue to receive their salaries for life.
Revoked the naming of Mike Adenuga stadium, which made the national sport icon embarrassed and withdrew the philanthropic commitment to maintain the sport facilities
Revoked the naming of Kensington Adebutu ICT Poly. Later realised the Billionaire was the one paying salaries of the entire body of staff and structures of the institution. Of course the embarrassed billionaire withdrew his philanthropic gestures
Scrapped the TASUED, the first University of Education in Nigeria. A fully autonomous, one of the most populous institutions in Nigeria that had become one of the most financially independent institution in the state.
Revoked the Agro Cargo licence inspite all resources committed and financial commitment of the foreigners to build the first of its kind Airport city in Africa.
Revoked Dangote refinery, despite investment committed. It was the most shocking of all cancellations. Dangote preferred the Ogun State terrain. His revelations and Amosun's explanations was more troubling.
Nigeria might be in for more shock when other marginalised investors of Amosun, the Canceller General of Ogun State government begin to show up. The man knew nothing about the Executive power, wielded it as much as possible to the detriment of the state, for ethnic scores. I never knew Amosun was this thoughtless and crude until this event happened and I heard in an interview by Oshiomhole that Amosun and Fayemi were 2 persons who masterminded his removal from office as APC chairman because they felt he's going to be used by Tinubu and they want to be president too. Such an Agberoistic way of doing things as a leader. I still feel bad for Ogun people for what Amosun did to them by pushing Dangote refinery away from the state. He should be barred from holding political office for life. |

The Ogun State Police Public Relations Office, Omolola Odutola, said the police were not involved in the matter.
She said, “It is not a police issue; we are not involved. It doesn’t have anything to do with us Useless people in a failed system where nothing works. Anything they said the Nigerian police did, it did. They're monsters. That's why I weep for those who calls for state police - you can see what the governors are doing with the federal police not under their control. They fly around looking for investors, but this is the message they send out there. You can see what they're doing to Dangote that's a local investor. Stupid people. |

Imagine such a disservice done to the people of Ogun state by the amount of revenue they'd have missed. He even bought the land in Lagos at $100m. If he saved that money somewhere for the state, it'd be around 150,000,000,000 by now and that's without interest. |
