So impress with #PhYouths response to protest ban today, wao where are we since ,Lets wake up pls this is our own country we dont have any other place!

Darey00:
u guys really need to read between the lines before commenting. This is a case of transformer overload. the fault is with the transformer,and not with the Lagos grid. I reside in Agbado and since 2013 we enjoy not less than 15hrs of electricity daily,transformer permitting

so the case of transformer overload is not the case to create awareness ? I think u should also read betwn the line before commenting because all those old and nonsense transformer using in those area if not for corruption and greed include tinubu diversification of some funds as it not be awarded by fed govern. That all should be using mini transformer? Or agbado/oke-odo area offend God to deserve some much poor electricity punishment ?

Internet warriors fear God!!

Residents of Agbado Oke-odo express their un-pleasant experience while compiling this report.

This was the case when residents of the Agbado/oke-odo recently staged a peaceful protest within their zone to show their displeasure with Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company IKEDC on the incessant power failure being witnessed in the area.

This, according to the residents, was as a result of the visibly old transformer which was often overloaded and could not distribute the power transmitted to it, thereby leading to load-shedding.

The angry residents were urging IKEDC to wake up to its responsibilities, especially that of providing service(power supply) for which payment is being made.

Salami Ajalekoko, A Fashion Designer and Vice Chairman, Agbado/Oke-odo Residents Association, said the IKEDC has not been fair to them, adding: “They only come here to collect money without any improvement of any sort. A businessman that has taken a concessionaire agreement has to invest and improve on the existing facilities and manage his customers”.


The chairman of Agbado/Oke-odo Association, in a telephone conversation, said some certain transformers in Agbado/Oke-odo are overloaded. “We have sent different delegations to IKEDC and their responses have always been that they cannot give what they don’t have.

Residents was bitter at the fact that the IKEDC had ignored all entreaties to improve power supply service to the area in spite various self-efforts by residents. According to him: “The current transformer being used was paid for through contributions by the residents. This included the cables, the poles and all other materials which automatically become the property of IKEDC and we still pay exorbitantly whether there is electricity supply or not”.

The chairman further emphasised the need for IKEDC to respond to their request urgently by supplying at least adequate hours of electricity daily shedding as the residents of the zone are known for their prompt payment of electricity bills.

Many residents of the Lagos metropolis celebrated this year’s Christmas in darkness,


Visits to Victoria island, Agbado oke-odo, Omidiji Street, ikeja, victoria island, Abule-egba, Agege, Alimosho, Iyana ipaja, egbeda neighbourhoods of Lagos revealed the areas had been experiencing a blackout since Dec. 24.

Some of the residents of Agbado Oke-odo expressed displeasure at the failure of the Power Distribution in their Area to supply stable electricity

Mr Isiaka Adeyinka, a resident of omidiji street oke-odo, Said that Despite the fact that this area and alimosho are the voting hube for APC its unfortunate that we are not buoyant of stable power supply and this area power sector had not been beneficial to the residence in spite of the government’s efforts to make things work.

“We have never seen it like this before to an extend that we rally round in protest directing all our residence never to pay attention to the electricity bills given to them "

“Since 24th up till this morning, we have not seen light in any part of this area,” he said.

A resident of Agbado Oke-Odo, Mr Taju Gbadamosi, noted that the power management had not given any explanation for the prevailing blackout.

“We do not know what's going on, we even try to find out information from the area landlord association.
“In our usual way, we have checked the transformers and moved round but there is no sign that a major fault was responsible for the blackout,” he said.

Gbadamosi said that the residents’ representatives were planning to go to the nearest power distributing office to demand an explanation for the blackout.

Mr Adeloju Shokoya, a resident of Lagos Island, expressed regret that he and his family had a “harrowing experience celebrating Christmas without electricity.

“If there is light, you will not meet most of us outside; we would have been somewhere else watching films or football matches.

“I have been on generator since Christmas Day with the hope they would soon restore electricity supply. Up till this morning, we have not seen even the normal flashing they give us at times,” he said.

Another Lagos Island resident, Mr Adetola Williams, however, said that the people would continue to enjoy themselves, whether there was light or not.

Light or Light man must enjoy himself. Yesterday, we were outside drinking and we used generators to power our musical sets in order to enjoy ourselves.

“From the look of things, we may do the same again today because l don’t understand this Electricity palaver anymore.

“You know they do what they like but they cannot spoil our enjoyment and merriment in this Christmas period,” he said.

LOL at 'appearing poor'!

@Op:
Maybe she is the "nagging type" naturally and you only realise/appreciate her nature when you are broke because then, you are "sensitive" to the signs of nagging?

But on another note, they say "marriage is like a marathon race, starting well ahead does not mean you will win it or even complete it but starting bad is even worse......... a non-starter"!

My drift is that if just after ten months your wife is already nagging about your finances when you are "temporarily broke"..... what will happen if God forbid, you like some men l have seen in life, lose your job or source of income for years? She will divorce you then, if we go by this trend!

But let me ask you: How did you end-up not knowing this trait about your wife, during courtship?
*Did she just develop the habit now or you were just too 'pussy-whipped' to notice?
*Were you never "low on cash" during courtship..... what was her reaction then?
*Have you sat her down (l read what you wrote about the "preaching" to let her know that if things continue this way, it is a "deal breaker" and none of you will live a happy life? (beware of the "pretence stage" in that scenario as women are noted to pretend until they have say one or two children as they want.... and then show their true color afterwards.... and then it will be too late for you, the man)

If you dont have children yet in this "baby-marriage" of yours, l THINK THIS IS THE TIME TO "TAKE A STEP BACK AND REFLECT SERIOUSLY"! CAN YOU GO THROUGH THIS SORT OF THING FOR THE NEXT SAY FIFTY YEARS OF YOUR LIFE?
The problem that is rearing its head now wont go away and it would be a nightmare for a very, very long time..... that is if you live long enough to go through the suffering.

Finally, only you can decide what to do next because you are the one "wearing the shoe and knows how it hurts and whether you can endure it".
You know your wife "best" and only you can say whether this is the begining of a nightmare or just a temporary phase
It is you that will bear the brunt, if it gets worse, for the rest of your life........ so the "big decision" is yours.

I just hope other younger men will learn from your own experience ...... but Men are not wired to learn, when it comes to the issue of women/marriage!

Marriage gets less appealing more and more as the day goes by..... the alternative is to just "live together and have children" but not with the "lurking dangers" of a marriage certificate that a man will experience, when the shyte hits the fan later.

I wish you well.

thank you, I really need to respond to some certain question you ask about didn't I notice her nagging during our courtship; you see this was where I feel av biin setup cuz there's a certain way we work things out then she behave mature then and we both even know how we scale throu some difficult circumstance then but now she just change, she don't understand all she do is pull up a fight for every little thing she won't complain about before!

Hello friends, 1st of all, I don't want you to see me as a man that involves third party in his marrital life/affair, am not that kind of man, in fact a lot of things go on that I rather let it stay in my home for us to sort or face together than involving family or friends but this challenge is really heavy for me to bear.

I don't really know what else to preach to her that I don't like her behavior anytime am broke ,for me it's a total turn off because it always makes me feel like am not being appreciated even with all my efforts to make us happy.

My wife nag anytime am broke or notice my pay ain't coming soon, all she does is play blame game like telling me all sort of story, like she never eat since last year, like she's not happy, that the marriage is hell because of just few days broke, and the few days broke doesn't mean no food for us, the few days broke doesn't mean I won't raise money to fuel generator talk less of some more important bills. I am just 10 months old in this marriage, please, real men in the house kindly advice me on what to do, if am the one being wrong here because I don't understand why she's always like that.

Lalasticlala I wouldn't mind front page at all because I really want to learn from all other husbands out there... Thanks
