Exactly what came to my mind... Anyway, there are pastors and there are Pastors

DEROXMAN:
And thats supposed to be a pastor

Which 70%.... It is 100%. Generator/Solar is the main source and Normal power is now the backup power!!!

The African Development Bank has revealed that 70.7 per cent of firms in Nigeria own or share generators due to persistent electricity shortages, with power outages costing businesses about three per cent of their annual sales.

The bank disclosed this in its 2026 African Economic Outlook report, which, among other items, assessed Africa’s fiscal policy and tax systems. It warned that weak public service delivery continued to impose hidden financial burdens on households and businesses across the continent.

“Electricity outage losses amount to three per cent of annual sales in Nigeria, and because of this, generator reliance is widespread, with 70.7 per cent of firms in Nigeria owning or sharing generators,” the report stated.

The AfDB said the widespread use of generators reflected deep infrastructure and governance challenges that were weakening productivity, eroding profitability, and undermining confidence in taxation systems.

According to the report, households and firms across Africa increasingly pay privately for services that governments are expected to provide, including electricity, water, security, and logistics.

The bank described these expenses as “parallel levies” that reduce disposable income and raise operating costs for businesses.

“Higher domestic resource mobilisation without corresponding improvements in public service delivery imposes large implicit tax burdens on households and firms, which undermines the legitimacy and effectiveness of taxation and leads to a breakdown in the social contract,” the AfDB stated.

The report noted that many businesses in Nigeria had resorted to self-generated power because of unreliable electricity supply, adding that this trend continued to widen informality and reduce voluntary tax compliance.

The AfDB added that stronger delivery of electricity, healthcare, education, water supply, sanitation, and public administrative services could improve trust in government and strengthen tax collection efforts.

“By reducing the need for households and firms to self-provide these services, strengthening performance in these priority areas can enhance taxpayer trust, improve voluntary compliance, broaden the formal tax base, and reinforce the fiscal social contract,” the report stated.


The bank said Africa’s revenue mobilisation challenges remained significant despite increasing fiscal pressures caused by rising debt servicing costs, shrinking external financing, and growing development spending needs.

According to the report, nearly $469bn in potential revenue remains untapped across Africa due to weak tax compliance, poor administration, and ineffective policy design.

The AfDB also stated that more than 40 per cent of public investment spending across the continent was currently lost to inefficiencies.

“More than 40 per cent of public investment is currently lost to inefficiencies, and closing this gap could generate up to $299bn each year for growth-enhancing investments,” the report stated.

The bank further noted that Africa could unlock up to $1.43tn in additional annual financing by addressing inefficiencies in resource mobilisation and utilisation.

It added that Africa needed to sustain economic growth at seven per cent or higher over several decades to create jobs on a large scale and accelerate poverty reduction.

“Africa must raise annual growth to 7 per cent or higher, sustained over decades, to enable large-scale job creation and accelerated poverty reduction,” President of the African Development Bank Group, Dr Sidi Tah, said in the report’s foreword.

The report also highlighted the continent’s dependence on indirect taxes such as Value Added Tax, excise duties, and customs taxes, which accounted for 59.9 per cent of total tax revenue in 2023.

The AfDB noted that Nigeria, alongside other resource-rich economies, relied heavily on corporate income tax linked to extractive industries, reflecting the uneven nature of direct taxation across Africa.

They only had a disagreement in your presence... Did you see them a week after and they were not together?

wildcatter23:
RELATIONSHIP IS NOT FOR THE WEAK🤦🤦

I went to a restaurant this evening to get food for my girlfriend.

After getting the food and just as I was about to leave, I saw two lovers arguing.

I asked the girl what the issue was, and she explained that they had also come to get food.

Their bill was supposed to be ₦8,300, but the waiter mistakenly charged them ₦7,800, which the guy paid.

As they were about to leave, she noticed the mistake and told her boyfriend to go back and pay the remaining balance, but he refused.

That disagreement eventually led to their breakup.

Is that enough to warrant a breakup?

What do you guys think?

Was the lady loyal to the guy?

. I know how much I gave them, but only 14 people voted for me in the primary,” he said.

NO SHAME!

You want to bribe your way through?

dawnomike:
Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has reacted to his defeat in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency seat in Imo State.

The celebrity businessman, who serves as the Imo State Coordinator of the City Boys Movement, had sought the APC ticket to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives.

Reacting after the outcome of the primary election in a viral video, Cubana Chief Priest said he had no regrets contesting for the position. Still, he expressed disappointment over what he described as misplaced trust in community elders.

“I’m a hustler, and I didn’t regret trying to contest for a position. My only regret was trusting the elders in the community. I know how much I gave them, but only 14 people voted for me in the primary,” he said.

Cubana Chief Priest had announced his political ambition earlier this year, advocating for what he described as cleaner and issue-based political participation driven by young Nigerians.

Following his defeat, reactions trailed the outcome on social media, with some users mocking the businessman and suggesting he may have underestimated the dynamics of Nigerian politics.

However, Ossai Ovie Success defended him against online criticism.

“Why are people mocking Cubana Chief Priest? Not nice… it’s ok to try and try again,” he wrote on Facebook.

“He lost an election and so what? I am disappointed,” he added.

White is gasket (Water leaking into engine)
Blue is Oil (leaking into the combustion chamber)...Ring first
Black is Fuel...( Too much fuel being released)

nurey:
If it has been sitting idle for a while you need to change the oil, then try and notice the color of the smoke to tell you whether it is rings issue (white smoke), over dumping of petrol (black smoke), gasket issue (blue smoke).

Then find a mechanic to access the vehicle and point you on what you need to keep vehicle in top shape

Reduce it to one battle per day.... You can divide one bottle in to two... 1st drive take half, 2nd drive take the other half.
When you are good with that, reduce it to half a bottle a day (You can dilute with water to make it full bottle psychologically). You can go on with this for a long period and may not even need to stop because i think that is still permissible

BE DISCIPLINED AND INTENTIONAL about this arrangement.

Never try to stop abruptly... It will most certainly nit work!

Help meet is what God Himself called them but some of them are BURDEN meet!!!

CYBERWEAVER:
I am currently planning to get married. I’ve been with my babe for about a year now.

After several consultations, we agreed on a wedding budget of about 3 million Naira.

But I keep asking myself one very honest question: how do I commit that kind of money to someone who hasn’t really shown the same level of effort back, even in something as small as 5k, despite earning a little?


Asin, I never smell her 5k since we started dating.


At this point, it’s not even about the money anymore. It’s about intention, balance, and simple acts of kindness.

Even on my birthday, I didn’t receive a gift from her, and that stayed with me more than I expected.

I’ve never had to deliberately test her money, because genuine care and small acts of giving usually show themselves naturally over time.

To be clear, I’ve been carrying most of the financial weight in this relationship, and there’s hardly anything tangible she has ever done for herself without at least my 50% contribution since we met.

I don’t complain, but I also don’t want to ignore what I’m seeing.

As a responsible man, I’m trying to be honest with myself before I take a step I can’t easily undo.

So I want to ask people who are married or have real experience: if I go ahead and marry in a relationship where this is the current dynamic, what should I realistically expect in marriage?

I’m not trying to assume the worst, but I also believe experience speaks louder than hope.
