This is a FALSE reportage and I challenge the reporter on this. This is a regulated industry and power generation data is available for everyone to see. There is no way GenCos can be doing anything under cover when instruction on generation is at the command of System Operator. This is a FAKE NEWS from a journo with zero knowledge of power market.

213 likes means there are over 200 mentally deranged drug baron slaves with access to internet on Nairaland. Nigeria will have relief when the drug lord is imprisoned and these slaves will for the very first time be useful in their own lives and also for their families.

As far as Nigerian law is concerned, Lamidi Apapa remains the chairman of Labour Party. Any miscreants not okay with that can defect.

After all, even pandora Obituary defected to the party few months ago.

Mention anybody's name in your father's house who is an engineer or a scientist. What happens to their destinies? How about you? Why can't you become the doctor and the scientist instead of being a troll on Nairaland whose major achievement in life has been to have a profile on a free platform. What research have you done? Why are you unknown? Since you know what has to be done, why can't you do it and make money from it and even enjoy the monopoly.

It is easy to hide in that hole and speak ills of achievers in life. You know how the rich should handle their finances, only that you don't know how achieve what they have.......

Whitemen men are producing engineers, doctors, scientists, Nigeria is producing prophets and pastors. They will then come back and say the country is not developed. These useless idiots that are supposed to be doing research into science and technology, it is Yahoo Yahoo they are doing calling themselves prophets and prophetesses. God punish una Mama.

Pastor Dr. Adeboye of RCCG lectured for many years at Unilag, same with Dr Olukoya of MFM, these useless boy is calling himself pastor or whatever. E no go better for the people wey dey call you pastor.

If Bukola Saraki a serving Senate President was made to stand trial before the CCT for not declaring his assets honestly, an ex-governor that underperformed should stand trial.

If Justice Walter Onnoghen, a serving Chief Justice of Nigeria stood trial before the CCT for not declaring his assets diligently, a second runner up should stand trial.

Nobody is above the law. As an Anambra man, I need justice!

The petty thief must return what he looted from Anambra. If he claims it was not looted, then he must inform the CCT why he didn't declare it as a public official. No other way about it.


Obidîot must stand trial for stacking our money in tax havens- facts.

We all know Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour family in Lagos, and they can trace many generations of their family in Lagos. Please who is your own father? What is your surname? You came to Lagos few years ago from your village and you are claiming Yoruba. Where is your father's house in Lagos?

Chinedu Vivour Rhodes is determined to rule Lagos, Yorubas are doomed. Like Ilorin, like Lagos. Chinedu is the modern day Afonja.

God bless the federal republic of Nigeria!

This is sheer stupidity to think Russia can take over Kiev in a conventional war. Putin is to proud to admit that he made a gross mistake of invading Ukraine. Just wait to see how badly it will end for Putin.

Russia has lost over 100,000 men. If you don't know how much that dealt with the Russian army, then I can't help you. Talking of turning Ukraine to ashes in a week, the US has communicated to the Russian military chiefs of what happens if they dare use nuke in Ukraine. They won't be that stupid to use nuke knowing that America will destroy their military in a conventional way in Ukraine including the occupied Crimea.

dapoRead:


if you dont know anything about war, you should shut your mouth.. Russia could have destroyed all Ukrainian power grid since the start of the SMO but waited until Crimean bridge pretext to do so.. Russia could turn Ukraine to ashes in one week but no. Gave them too much of time to get back to their senses..

Now, all that is needed is cut supply root to Ukraine via Belarus, lock that Polish boarder and Transcarpathia from the South.. They do another 10 bombardment of Ukraine.. Lobatan.. WAR is over.. Trust me, Russia is waiting for those weapons to be supplied to Kiev and it will use that as pretext to lock all the supply lines.. THISE WEAPONS THAT WILL ALLOW THE CRAZY IN KIEV TO STRIKE deep Russian Cities. The neocons will get full defeat.. Wait 4 it

Total victory. This will not be like North Korea-South Korea partitioning ok.. It will be total Russian victory..

Understand war small and history.. ok

A man with a big heart.

If by this 2023 , you still feels Russia is in Ukraine for War. Then something is wrong with you.

Russia is in Ukraine for world peace . It signifies the beginning of the liberation of the world from the shackles of Evil powers, spearheaded by Nato, Eu and the west.

Evil people who go about spending billions of dollars on Medical healthcare and research but still encourages mental disorderliness in the form of homosexuality.

Calling Peter Obi a stupid idiot by someone who is not sure of where his next meal is coming from is a new level of insanity. Peter Obi is a billionaire, he can afford to live anywhere in the world....he can afford to buy whatever he wants. he can feed you and your entires household for the rest of your existence.......... Wheather he wins or loses in the election, it does not stop him from living a good life.

You all taught Jonathan a lesson years back. Jonathan can afford whatever he likes and even get contracts from Buhari if he wants. But for you, no access to your local government chairman, and if at all they need you, it will be when they need people to buy ice block or arrange chairs for their outdoor events.

May God allow you realise your own idiocy on time.

Ezewuzie01:
That stupid idiot called Peter Obi should step out of the race to avoid humiliating himself further. It is obvious that many people don't have respect for him and the lies he stands for. I just saw a quote from the governor of Rivers state insulting Peter Obi as if Obi is his gateman and the insults that Soludo and Arthur Eze have already heaped on the clown aren't enough.


As to the rumour that we have endorsed Labour Party Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, you should understand that we are talking about Presidency of Nigeria, not Traders' Union nor Anambra Governorship election here..."

Putin's accountant, please tell us how much Russia made.

So you can use Google- an American owned company to check how much Russia made. Why not a Russian owned search engine?

Abrahamweb:

sometimes i wonder how stupid or daft some people are.
check how much Russia made from this war and how much NATO/EU/USA lost on this war.
don't follow western media propaganda machine abeg for your sanity.
just use google check how much excess profits Russia made from this war.

Only Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft and Google are bigger than the whole of African economy combined together. This your phantom African currency will be backed by what? Where did you study your own Economics? So what stops you from having the african currency now?

This is one disadvantage of freedom of speech. Imagine spewing gibberish with such confidence. If you want to deal a blow to dollar, you need to be innovative and productive like the Americans. The whole budget of Nigeria is less than 30bUSD that we even have to borrow to fund. California- a state in the US has a budget of over 130bUSD. The budget of some universities in the US is more than the entire education budget in Nigeria. You wnat to compete with people who spend billions on research yearly?

When there was Covid, who gave Africans vaccines free of charge? Who funds WHO? Who helped with polio eradication in Nigeria and Africa? 21st century economy is knowledge driven and USA remains the number nation in the world in innovation. So the idea of that useless african currency is just a dream after a night of intoxication from cheap alcohol.

If I may ask you, which industry do you work in and how competitive are you compared to your peers in the US? Show your competitiveness before you begin to dream of Africa that will compete withe US.

My advise, if you have the opportunity of living in the US, please jump at it. It will help your destiny.

casualobserver:


The biggest slave is the mentally enslaved who doesnt even recognise who his oppressors are. it is Libyans like you that were hailing the west as they came for ghaddafi....they were too dumb to realise thqat the west came for ghaddafi to stop him creating an African currency which would have dealt a blow to the dollar and not to liberate them..go ask them how Libya is doing today after being "liberated"!!

As a 3rd world citizen especially of Africa, people Like Putin are your best friends no matter their issues because they are the only reasons you still have some measure of freedoms.

Who are these Putin slaves? They ask people to stop watching CNN , but they never have any alternative for the coverage of the war. They hail Putin like their lives can survive in Russia. All of them will sell their kidneys to get US visa and will not dare to travel to Russia even with free visa. Woudn't know this sort of disorder.

Putin had to mobilise 300,000 Russians after the regular army has been decimated. Even Putin has accepted that things are not going on well with Russia in the war. Apart from nuke, Russian army is as weak as maybe Syrian army. Thanks to the US who has warned Russian generals the consequence of using any tactical nuke in Ukraine. This was has shown the weakness of the Russian army and Putin is too ashamed to withdraw because he doesnt want to lose it politically in Russia. Of recent there has been growing complaints from the Russians and Putin himself is aware that his long rule is near the end. Just watch out for what will happen in the next 6 months.

And for those hailing Putin, please be bold enough to join the Russian army against Ukraine. HIMARS will help you reach your final destination sooner than you expect.

IamtheTruth1:


Stop watching CNN.

Satan 2 ko, Satan 1 ni. Talking like you have an hint on nukes. Let Putin move mad and use nuke in Ukraine and see what happens to Russia.

It is only a coward that threathens nuclear when he couldnt win conventional war with a smaller nation. After losing almost 100k personel in Ukraine and mobilising hundrerds of thousands of Russians, the coward can see nuke as a way to cover his shame.

You are talking of what US does not have as if you are a general in the US army or the President of America.

Kingsnairaland:


USA don't have any nuke that have capability like Satan two

Unless if they have it and refuse to test it

If you don't test nuke then on the day of lunch it can fall on you just like their rocket falls on them

Get this in your mind.

Which advanced missile system? S-400?? Same that Israeli IDF has circumvented......Even S-500 couldn't stop old Urkranian drones to strike deeply inside Russia last week. Russia has expended most of their advanced missiles in Ukraine and it is cystal clear that Russian milatary has decades of years to catch up with the west. In conventional war, Russia won't survive US military in a month. Russia has lost almost 100k personel in Ukraine. Do you know how ridiculous that they have to mobilise civilians in hundreds of thousands to fight Ukraine that is next door to Russia. Trust me, Israeli army is far more advanced that the Russian army has shown in this Ukraine war. Loosing like 100k personel in a war is a defeat to Russia and Putin is so ashamed he does not know how to come out of this apparent defeat. Russia keeps bombing civilian targets in Ukraine as a show of force. This is pure cowardice. Apart from nuclear bombs, Russian army is a joke. Ukraine gave up their nuclear arsenal after the fall of Soviet Union with a guarantee of protection from the US. This is why Russia won't dare use nuclear in this war. Just watch out and see what will happen to that very insecure Putin. When a country as big as Russia begin to make noise like North Korea, it isn obvious how limited they are.
What do you mean that US does not have hypersonic weapon? What has Russia achived with the use of hypersonic weapon in Ukraine?
Russians living outside Moscow and St Petersburg live in poverty and this coward and bully called Putin is busy fighting a senseless war. The end is near for him and he knows.

ZombieSlayer1:

Russia has the most advanced missile system in the world. While the US prioritizes aircraft carriers, Russia prioritizes missiles. Russia pioneered space travel and they're the country who first went to space, first country to launch a living thing into space etc but western media tries to downplay all these. Russia launched the first hypersonic missile and up till today the US doesn't have a hypersonic missile.
it's funny how you guys underestimate Russia while hyping US whereas even the US never underestimates Russia

there is nothing like biggest nuclear power. Russia won't survive US Conventional strike in a month and Russia won't dare make a mistake of attacking any nation with nuclear

Masterviolence:
They're called the biggest nuclear power for a reason.

Zahra29:


Does the hubby already have a job offer?

In addition to the detailed advice others have provided, just wanted to add in transport costs, which are significantly higher in London. Train, tram, tubes to uni, work etc can easily add up to a few hundred a month depending on the travel zones.

Thank you for your response. It appears to live comfortably in London in at least a 2bedroom in East London or Kent will require monthly income of between 4000-5000k after tax. More realistic when both husband and wife are working full time.

mimilyrics:
Getting housing in London is quite the sport now. Be ready to go for multiple viewings with as many as 10-50 people viewing the same property. If you have 6-12 months upfront payment, it helps (if you don't have an existing UK tenancy or 6 months payslips for reference checks).
Typical rent for a 3 bed is anything from £1300 - 2000 and above. Someone close to me just got a 3-bedroom house for £1,300 in the SE postcode area after a 7-month search filled with multiple viewings and rejections. 6 months' rent paid upfront. If you have a place to stay while trying to sort yourself, please take that option until you can sort yourselves out.
Groceries and utilities are dependent on your usage and eating patterns and food types. Children tend to eat a lot - my lil one is in your kids' age brackets and she is almost always hungry. For my family, we do a mix of African and Western meals - African (pap and akara, pounded yam, amala, wheat, oatmeal, semo, eba/garri with nigerian soups) on 2-3 days a week; sometimes once. For the African food staples, we buy once in 2-3 months and spend an average of £30-50, for the soups, we cook in bulk, dish in plastic food bowls and freeze - the cost is usually dependent on what goes into it - a bag of £5 tripes, 2 bags of chicken/2 frozen whole chickens, two £2.50 bags of gizzard, a £5 bag of beef, a £5 bag of fish can be used for 2-3 soups (vegetables, okro, pepper stew). These soups last 2-3 months before we run through them. We've cooked 6 months worth of soup at some point.
Other meal types - mash and pie, shepherd's pie, full english, toast and butter, pasta, yam and eggs, potatoes and eggs/sauce, bread and eggs, cereal and the like.
The average spend on groceries over a 3 month period is circa £250-300. Buying in bulk helps and also know where to get the best of an item at great prices helps eg. Aldi's juices, snacks, milk, bread and some other items are cheaper than Morrisons, Iceland, M&S, Sainsburys and almost better in some cases; you can also get some great items at the pound shops - Poundland, Sam 99 etc. Categorise your shopping and know what quality you are after and where to get them at the best prices. Some store brands are more value than some popular brands. If you have a blue light card, don't hesitate to use it where possible.

Re utilities, Depending on your usage and on if you opt for DD instead of PayG, you might be looking at anything from £140-200.
Your husband's estimated take home will be around £3,605 and how much is left is dependent on how much your monthly rent is since that will take a huge chunk of the pay.
NOTE: The £60,000 salary might not come as soon as expected so better to get accommodation that's in line with current income/savings.

For folks living in London with their families, how much do you spend monthly on rent, utilities and groceries? What is the minimum monthly spend for a family of 4 with two kids aged 12 and 10 ?

Wife is schooling and hubby will be working with an expected salary of 60,000 annual. Can they survive on this salary living in London? They have established siblings who are UK citizens, but they are not depending on supports though they will take if it comes. They don't want to be a burden to anyone in the UK.

Please people with families should share experience.

No it is not Kherson, it is your family hometown. Imagine another 5 idiots liking this.

It isn't Kherson, oga, Ukraine that can lie

I was waiting for this news as it is now Obvious the admin is a PUTIN dies hard.

Where is the headline of the damaged bridge in CRIMEA today? Where are the headlines of many reported cases of battle field failures of the Russian army.?

When Putin goes down, I hope you will avoid the news too.

Stop overestimating, Medvedev already replied US..
Destroy Russia black sea fleet and watch US Pacific fleet go in flame, it's tit for tat..

If Russia nuke Ukraine, people will about and keep quiet..

Get off internet and get off anything that originated from the west. You country depends on the West and I am sure you have applied for visa before and got rejected.

Putin will be glad if you volunteer to join his army...he is looking for those who are willing to die for motherland. From today, don't use Google, Twitter, or any phone that has the technology of the west. You will be too shameless to continue enjoy the goods of the west instead of enlisting in Putin's red army to prove that the west is nothing. Even Russian army Generals agree to their failures on battle field but one Kamoru in a one room apartment with small window in the remotest part of Aboru is claiming to know more than CIA and NATO. I mean someone that feeds on NTA news and has never been to the airport in Lagos before.

timesupreloaded:
They can only use their propaganda media to fool idiots. They have succeeded in turning 99% of the world into mooorrrooons

You dey annex on paper? You annexed a land and your army is retreating , surrendering and abandonning military equipment. Is HIMMARS a joke to you?

Please, get a cable TV and tune in to any Russian station or search for Russian millitary bloggers online and hear the truth the Russians are telling themselves now. Even mobilized Russians are refusing to be deployed as the Ukrainian army is moving like fire in the occupied regions liberating villages every day.

AbdulCLO:
Western media are just hypocrite with propaganda........ Russia have achieved thier goal of Annexing the 4 regions now they are 're calling back thier troops back to the annex region but Western news are calling it counter operation Russians running away lolzzzzz

After the collapse of the Soviet union, Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapon with the US providing the guarantee of protection from any aggressor. If Russia uses nuclear in Ukraine, Russia may not get nuked immediately but their conventional military asset in Ukraine and in the black sea will be gone forever. This will decimate Russia and further escalation will result in Russia getting nuked. US generals have communicated with the Russian generals what the consequences will be. It takes a chain of command for a nuclear weapon to be used and trust me, the Russian generals want to live and won't allow Putin to get all of them destroyed.

Princedapace:


Let me explain something to u. The US has never ever faced massive destructions in the home of USA and USA will never risk such move at all. So also the other USA allies.
No one loves to watch their homes deatroyed.

Now, Russia may use tactical nuclear or chemical weapon. They didn't attack USA. USA won't attack Russia either knowing that such move will surely make Russia hit USA and both will experience mutual destructions.

The worse that woukd happen is USA strike strategic assets of Russia. They can't risk hitting Russia cities. Lol.

Doing so would make Russia also hit and in such situations, both will lose. USA is not ready to risk New York city for this.

When USA used nuclear, after the noise, what happened? Omo, UK wouldn't like London in destruction.
Russia knows that she won't hit UK or US or France but can use such weapon against Ukraine which is weaker.
These big guys fear one another bro.

I have a friend living in Moscow and I can share videos of what is happening in Russia for now as the citizens are seeing the lies and propaganda of the govt as being reported by military bloggers and ex soldiers.
Annexxation announcement is not binding on Ukraine as they have been liberating the annexed regions and Russian armies are retreating, abandoning equipment and many are surrendering. If you are winning a war, you won't be conscripting civilians and asking for 300,000 men who are to be used as canoon folder.

This is 21st century where tech prevails and US weapons and especially HIMMARS have proved too advanced for the Russians. A Russian soldier at the war front said that Ukrainian armies view their positions on mobile asset and have real time information on the battle field. This week, there has been a call for Shoigu to be shot in the head for the failures being suffered by the Russians. If you doubt what I am saying, please tune in to any Russian channels and hear the truth that Russians have come to realise. Putin is in a tight corner and his regime is crumbling......he knows it and the threat of tactical nuclear weapon is to save face as this operation has shown that the Russian army is not what it has portrayed to be over the years.

Mark this, in the next few months, someone in Russia will do what will shock the whole world even if Putin goes into hiding. The US has communicated to the Russian generals what the consequences will be if they dare use any nuclear weapon.

Everyone living in Russia is apprehensive now and the numbers of fleeing Russians increase every day and many are even braking their arms and legs to avoid being mobilized.

The truth is that in conventional warfare, the Russians won't survive 1 week of American bombardments. Russian army is very weak now. Over 60,000 soldiers killed, 70% of their military assets have been sent to junk yard in Ukraine,...Their best trained armies have been decimated and their much touted precision missiles have fallen short of expectations. Ukraine remains strong and undivided and by the end of this war, Crimea will also be liberated.
For all the Putin boys, I advise you volunteer to join his army, when you get to the front lines, you will realize you only have a one way ticket as you will either be sent back in a bag, or become a manure for the grains .

lhordspy:
Lol.

Let's forget about the nuclear threats for now, the westerners can continuing peeing in their pants for now . But let focus on this sentence i got from the entire news. It says:


____
'Russian officials speak of the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons after suffering massive setbacks in the eight-month invasion of Ukraine'
______

The funniest sentence i have seen in decades.
Russia just annexed a whole 4 region off ukraine amounting to like 15% of the entire ukraine region. BUT
Guess what? the hypocritical,delusional western medias who are still living in denial or just outrightly off-reality of happening still thinks the ongoing 'special operation' is suffering massive setback.


Oh you western apologists and chearleaders, Let me educate you on the gains of this four regions annexations:

The Donetsk region was Ukraine’s industrial center, accounting for 20% of the country’s industrial production. It is rich in mineral resources, having the fourth-largest coal field in Europe.

The Luhansk region is an important transport hub and is known for its metallurgy, machinery and agricultural industries. It has metallurgical enterprises, chemical and pharmaceutical plants and several coal mines

The Zaporizhzhia region, meanwhile, is the center of energy supply and produces 25% of Ukraine’s electricity. Three powerful energy producers are located in the southeastern region – the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest nuclear facility in Europe, the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station and the Botievo wind farm.
It also has a number of large industrial and mechanical engineering facilities.

The Kherson port region specializes in shipbuilding and is known for its resorts and agriculture. Besides, the entire Azov Sea will also become a part of Russia.


So my people, where is the 'massive setback so far' in this? If it is this same type of setback Nigeria is experiencing right now economically, then we wont still be wallowing in a third-world country tag.

Shalom.

Same Russian army that has been decimated in Ukraine.

arzizhy:


Poor narrative. The Ukrainian army pushing back equally comprises of normal civilians who heeded the call of their president and stayed behind to defend their country.

But then the western media will want you to believe the latest draft in Russia comprises of old and haggard civilian and not point to the fact that most were ex military men.

Believe the media at your own risk and underate the Russians at your own perils.
