Oga, go sidon.

Muslim-muslim ticket is nothing. You guys should stop all this nonsense.

When you eat yam or suya or fuel your vehicle with diesel or petrol, do you bother about religion, tribe or where it originates from?

There is nothing arrogant about a Muslim-muslim ticket, rather it is senseless to see something wrong with it.

Tinubu's wife of over three decades is a Christian. I have been married for over ten years to a devout Christian myself, whereas I am absolutely non-religious.

The lady I was initially engaged to be married to, wey dey form 'holy Mary' and dey try to drag me to church by force....no be she I catch wey her ex dey still dey knack?

Abeg, keep your religion for your pocket make we hear word.

Issues like religion should never find a place where governance and leadership are being discussed. It is unwarranted, petty and divisive.

If Tinubu believed that, then he would have chosen a Christian.

Na personal selfish ambition & self centered greed they worry the old man, it is all about him, in a sane society, APC would have been punished for their woeful & dismal performance in the last 7 years, & their coffin nailed for Tinubu abusing our collective intelligence.

diadem10:
What about people without religion or people with other religions apart from Muslim and Christian?

As a matter of fact, competence should always take the cake over religion. You wouldn't care about the religion of a doctor who wants to operate on you but his competency.

Tinubu didn't islamise anyone in his Lagos. If he didn't islamise his wife, he won't islamise anyone.

So no competent Christians from Northern Nigeria?

Your argument is flawed based on hypocrisy.

Superwave16320:
Sis what I saw was Peter Obi with his entire household children father n mother all perished n rotting away in the deepest part of hell fire.

Did I also highlight that your Igbo father mother and entire household also perished along with him n you miserable lot were wailing so hard in hellfire with the devil himself giving your dead brain Igbo father repeated dirty slap relentlessly.

You need help.

isaaudugeidam:
But you won a federal constituency election under the same APC in Rivers state. Are you saying you rigged yourself in ,or what?

You are not conversed on your politics thoroughly, He was in pdp when he was a senator of the Republic.

sammy329:
CAN is PDP, it is the spiritual wing of PDP. It is so obvious!

Whilst MURIC is APC, it is the spiritual wing of APC, isn’t it also obvious?

Ola5TP:
Apc is a joke with unserious hungry followers who knows the truth but snubed it and chose to be demons. Funny party

Kai, Tinubu no try.

Towards Improved Electricity Access – Scrutinising Nigeria’s Energy Regulatory Framework

Sarah Wolters

Low electrification worsens socio-economic inequalities and hinders industrial development. In this context, the Nigerian government committed to universal electricity access by 2030.

However, setting ambitious goals is not enough. To tackle the issue of low electrification rates, a stable policy and a reliable legal framework are key elements to support energy technology development especially because of the high investments required.

In Nigeria, the energy law shows supporting elements as well as barriers to wider electricity access.

The unclear allocation of roles regarding legislative competencies is one of the elements that potentially hinders wider electricity access. This circumstance causes confusion as the Electric Power Sector Reform Act (EPSRA) – imposed at federal level – supports regulations beyond the main electricity grid instead of cooperation with the state governments. Moreover, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) regulates more than what is stated in the EPSRA, which raises questions regarding the legal force of the regulations declared by the NERC. These confusions might slow down the improvement of electricity access and need to be clarified.

Furthermore, the Eligible Customer Regulations (ECR) created by the NERC contain good basic rules in section 37, but they are not enough to reach the goals stated in the ECR itself. These good basic rules are found in the definition of some rights and obligations of the suppliers, grid operators and customers. For example, there are regulations about a supplier of last resort who supplies a customer concerned in case the contracted supplier fails. However, the ECR does not contain enough elements for the promotion of a rapid expansion of electricity supply and the improvement of financial liquidity of the electricity industry although both aspects are stated as objectives in the ECR.

Shameless nation, with all the options of renewable energy available? For lack of vision, the people remain in darkness.

GreatBoss:
Haha.

Lazy things that love ogogoro, 90% of Nigerian crude comes from your so called land because it was your ancestors that planted the crude oil in the earth?

Only Ogogoro refinery you people are interested in building, What concerns you with petrol chemical?

AYNL:
una no create job

you still wan ban wetin some people dey do to survive

this will be the peak of this government's stupidity

that was how one MF wanted to pass the bill to ban generator

when citizens no dey enjoy 12 hour electricity out 24

there's nothing good about this APC government

Anyone that cast their vote for APC, may the mercy of the lord be on you.

Lagschools:
If the reason for the ban is because of terrorism, why not temporarily ban in areas affected with terrorism?

Doubt if this bill will be passed.

It has been confirmed, this Government is Clueless.

DonFreshmoney:
How much ransom was paid should be the question?

Because they were police men, they sharply rescued them.. how about other civilians kidnapped and are still in the hands of the kidnappers?

Indeed they were rescued, don’t mind them, but none of the kidnappers was apprehended?

Clowns, they have used their egunje money to pay ransom.

Idiots that call themselves police, if it was Eastern Nigeria they would have killed innocent people saying we have neutralized ipob members.

Jking20:
When you're big, you're big asf. Even when you drink, they'll examine what you drank. As far as am concerned, you don't need to clear any air about anything. Let whoever believes whatever he wants, perhaps, we are not voting for religion but competence. I advice wailers to rather channel their energy on how they'll convince people to vote for them.

Hypocrites talking of Nation building, yet he chose a Muslim Muslim ticket?

DeepThroater:
Igbo kill Igbo


Nobody hates an Igbo more than an Igbo

Let them burn their yeast and kill themselves in their OSU republic

What sense did you make? You need psychiatric help.

Superwave16320:
If it is true then your entire family n household deserve to be dead truly.

We are still waiting for the day an incident will happen to any of those Fulani terrorist bandits disturbing the peace of the East.

It is always the indigenes that are always the victims of these atrocities.

PAUL OJUKWU....

"15 years ago, I went to buy electronics at Emab Plaza Abuja. I saw a man walking on the corridor and when he walked to me and greeted me. I asked what he was doing, he said he's a salesman. I was moved. I asked for his WAEC result, when he gave me, it was better than mine. Today, he's my adopted son, I didn't ask for his origin or tribe. I sponsored his education to University level, he's now a Software Engineer, he is married to a Jukum woman, daughter of the current Attorney-General of Taraba State. He will be going to the UK for his PhD. He's Paul OJUKWU from Anambra State. That is the Nigeria we are talking about....."

Kashim Shettima

Nonsense, what is a sales man doing with his WAEC result in his shop?

You sponsored him, so because of that you should be made Vice President because we don’t have other samaritans that have done more?

Bar1941:
By the special grace of God the most high, the mantle of leadership in the country will be handed to the competent hands of Tinubu and Shettima and Nigerians will witness unprecedented development and peace during that time.

God did not ask which religion our parents believe in before giving us to them, it was when we got to this world that the confusion started, the son of a pastor could have been an Islamic cleric if being given birth by a Muslim parent.

I SUPPORT COMPETENCY REASON I AND MY HOUSEHOLDS ARE SUPPORTING TINUBU. JOIN THE WINNING TRAIN AND STOP THE HATE.

But he asked Shettima which religion he was, if not why did he not choose a Christian from the North?

Because it is all about his selfish calculations to win, knowing fully well a Northern Christian can’t give him the required votes to accomplish his life long ambition.

The height of selfishness from this evil man called Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Jehovah will disappoint him.

Eddy017:
Pls can you explain what he did in Lagos state. Just a simple question ??

Used State’s funds to enrich himself beyond belief, Kidnap of the Lagos State Treasury.

Throwback:
Confidence is arrogance to those who do not believe it can be done.

Tinubu has already done it in Lagos, he will surely do it for Nigeria.

Maybe you are a LASTMA Officer?

NwaorguF:
The State Publicity Secretary of Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress APC, Senibo Chris Finebone has described the formal exit of Magnus Abe and his supporters as a good riddance.

The APC spokesman stated this during a press conference held today, July 20, 2022 at its State Secretariat, 118 Woji Road, GRA, Port Harcourt. According to him, “This press conference is essentially to explain to you and the public that Rivers APC considers the formal exit of Abe and his associates from the APC as good riddance.”.

Excerpt of the Press Conference:

Gentlemen of the Press,

This press conference is a direct response to the anxiety and concerns members of our great Party, the public and particularly the media have expressed privately and, sometimes, publicly over the resignations of some Party members in the past two weeks or so. We consider that our stakeholders, sympathizers, well-wishers and the general public deserve honest clarification on the development.

To start with, we believe that movements of politicians in and out of political parties in Nigeria have become part of the political culture of politicians especially towards the end of every election cycle. It cuts across all political parties.

Recently, a few members of our Party in Rivers State resigned their membership of the Party. It is very pertinent to state that the persons that resigned belong to two categories. The first is made up of a few persons who either resigned to pursue other interests in life or exercised their right of free association by seeking greener political pastures elsewhere. To these persons, we acknowledge the contributions of some of them to the Party and wish them well in their future endeavours.

However, it has also come to our notice that a few persons that are loyal to Senator Magnus Abe have also resigned recently. These are individuals who have, for the past couple of years, spoken and acted in every way to destroy the APC in Rivers State. Led by Abe, these persons tried all they could to factionalize our Party in the State. They connived endlessly with the governor of Rivers State and used some elements in the State Judiciary to frustrate and destroy our Party through needless litigations. The culmination of their evil machinations was the exclusion of Rivers APC from the ballot in 2019. Evidence exists how Senator Abe and his lieutenants broke into celebration the day the Party was excluded by the court from participating in that election due to their litigation.

After the 2019 unfortunate development, Abe continued to receive support from outside the State and persisted in undermining Rivers APC through every imaginable means principally through frivolous litigation executed through his proxies. At a time, they attacked and completely destroyed the then Rivers APC Secretariat at Forces Avenue, Old GRA, Port Harcourt. Recently, they also hired hoodlums and attempted to destroy the present Secretariat of the Party.

Tired of Abe’s antics, majority of his supporters openly joined the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State while others found their way back to the mainstream of the Party. However, it recently came to our attention that Senator Abe and the few persons still with him had concluded plans to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP) on whose platform Abe will run for governor, hence their persistent hype to the effect that Abe will be on the ballot come 2023.

In what appears to be a carefully planned exit plan, close associates of Abe started resigning from the APC and making heavy weather of their exit in the social media as part of their exit plan as though they have been functional members of the Party, just to hoodwink the public.

This press conference is essentially to explain to you and the public that Rivers APC considers the formal exit of Abe and his associates from the APC as good riddance. We liken it to a successful excision of a debilitating cancer from the body. Rivers APC can now heave a sigh of relief from the sustained destabilizing onslaught by Senator Abe. We wish him well as he joins the SDP. We pray that he takes everything he exhibited in APC particularly his nuisance value to his new party so that the world would see him for who he truly is.

We make bold to state without an iota of doubt that Senator Abe and his supporters had, by their actions and utterances, long ceased to be functional members of APC. They shunned and refused to participate in the Membership Revalidation exercise that was carried out nationwide by the Party. They also abstained from other legitimate activities of the Party, making their recent purported resignation a mere formality and part of their face-saving exit strategy aimed at deceiving the public.

We appreciate your understanding that there is no blanket exit or exodus of well-meaning members of Rivers APC. We believe that you and the public would appreciate that our Party is, by far, better off without Abe and his motley supporters.

Be informed that an ongoing process of reconciliation led by the Party Special Contact Committee is proceeding apace. The outcome of the good job the Committee is undertaking will be concluded early enough for us to consolidate and kick off campaigns in September.

Rivers APC is glad to, once again, emphasize that we were very careful to ensure that the Party conformed to the Electoral Act 2022, Party rules and regulations, and the Nigerian Constitution all through the various congresses and primaries that culminated in the emergence of the governorship Candidate for our dear Party, Arc. Tonye Patrick Cole, mni In spite of being an established and successful Entrepreneur and Philanthropist, he recently attended the University of Oxford and, on graduation, was inducted into the prestigious Transformational Leadership Fellowship of Oxford University's Blavatnik School of Government. Hope you all would agree that he is well-equipped for the task ahead to redeem, recover and turnaround our beloved Rivers State.

This press conference cannot be complete without using this medium to call on all well-meaning members of APC in Rivers State, particularly the energetic youth who have sacrificed their future and destinies in the past seven years to the sustenance and wellbeing of our dear Party, to see the evolving situation as a clarion call on them to step out and step in to provide the much needed support, direction and energy that will ensure victory for our Party come 2023. Your focus should be unwavering and aimed at taking full charge of your various units in the State. This is critical to ensuring success in the 2023 general elections and subsequent elections.

Let me use this opportunity to raise the alarm that just yesterday, evil people launched fake news concerning our leader, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi purporting that he has resigned from the APC. This is a lie taken from the very abyss of hell. Kindly ignore it and any such fake news that may be concocted and circulated in the media particularly the social media to smear the former Minister of Transportation. He remains a loyal member of the APC and he has re-iterated this at every opportunity and that he would work to ensure the Party resoundingly wins the 2023 elections.

Finally, we express our profound appreciation to you, the press, for not lending yourselves and your platforms for the propagation of fake news and other mischief against our Party, leaders and members. We want to emphatically state, for the umpteenth time, that well-meaning members of Rivers APC are intact. What you might have seen recently is the usual self-cleansing mechanism of the Party at work.

Thank you.

Nonsense, APC is a drowning party, the prosperity of Fools will destroy them.

Throwback:
They thought we Christians would abandon Tinubu, so they are surprised that many Christian clergy and laymen like me are steadfastly Batified.

Nothing in life is an absolute, in every 12 there must be a Judas.

Arysexy:
If after seeing this scam and you still want to vote APC, then you need psychiatrist attention

See one of d APC Bishops

That your bishop picture, is the very picture.

MatrixCircle:
Which kind bishops be this like agbero. See eye glasses of the front bishop

Not surprising why the National grid collapsed today, this Tinubu is a curse, self acclaimed Fraudster.

Fahdiga:
Every sane person knows that those thugs wearing dirty and oversized cassock and parading themselves as bishops are Tinubu's urchins that operates in Oshodi under bridge. Look well at the pictures you will notice that it is either they are using face mask to cover their face or they are wearing shades. They were even shying away from the camera. Tinubu and his handlers should be smarter than this.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu the real king of 419.

Country of Demonic People, Lovers of Darkness, what business does Jehovah have with them?

tnerro1:
Are you blaming the masses or the legislators?

Who are the legislators? Aren’t they the representatives of the masses?

Your copy & paste, follow follow democrazy has failed you people.

Soon they will go to church or mosque to pray to JAH to perform a miracle that will give them light, yet it is common knowledge that hydro power is water turned to electricity.

Everlastingson:
Put it better, everything associated with APC 8 year reign is a colossal failure.

Not exonerating APC & their colossal failure, but since you were born, have you ever had constant electricity in Nigeria?

I believe we Nigerian Hypocrites are to blame for our woes, but it is always easier to pin it on someone else, Obasanjo claimed he spent $16 billion dollars, no electricity since 2007, on November 7th 2013, Jonathan handed over our electricity infrastructure to quacks under some useless privatization, till date no electricity, President Buhari & APC have come & shown us absolute cluelessness.

Peter Obi said he has gone to Egypt on a 3 day crash course to study their electricity infrastructure?

We keep deceiving ourselves, Nigga Area of the blacks love & embrace the darkness of civilization.

tnerro1:
Why can’t this grid be decentralized for god sake? Let all regions have their own power grid. Why if you steal a cable in Akwa Ibom, kaduna will not have light, why

Who is stopping you people?, let your legislators pass the laws that will back your argument.

Like I said Nigeria is a country of Hypocrites, democrazy has failed.

We love the way things are suffering & smiling, maybe we are waiting for a Moses to bring the light of commandments down from the mountain for us to have electricity?

sprints1:
baba you made a wise contribution but this will go a long way have you been to the north. You will know they have to invest big to set things right. And NEPA workers too are not ready to work

What laws have you lovers of darkness made to give yourselves electricity?

Renewable energy is the future so why are the lovers of darkness that are always looking for a messiah still complaining about PHCN/NEPA or any nonsense grid?

Black man & lack of innovation, Nigeria & its 200 million people is the clear epitome of the failed nature of the black man.

yusluvad:
Who God don bless no man curse...

Case wey pdp done tell am to withdraw after Saturday’s victory @ the polls?, at least 5 commissioner slots have been promised to his camp.

Plus refund of money spent for campaigning & bringing the suit to court.

homosapien:
Ok ma. I was talking to Yoruba not non Yorubas.

Thank you.

Then You should have written in the Yoruba dialect.

You want us to believe that you are talking to only descendants of Oduduwa in the English dialect?

Ifearnoevil:
Support the break up of this useless country so that yorubas can get to keep their land but you will not agree.
Once you here secession,all you mofos will go into seizures and start foaming from the mouth.

Even in the scripture, the woman that asked for the separation of the child was the failure that had nothing, and we all know what happened to her next, her head was chopped off on the orders of King Solomon The Wise.

buckeyemedia:
Keep quiet & go & read your history properly, it was the Bini Empire controlling Lagos Island that was conquered by the British.

Eko in Bini language means fort in The English language, property of The Oba of Benin.

Oba Dosunmu who the British made sign the treaty in 1864 after the bombardment of Lagos Colony was the first Oba of Lagos to be buried in Lagos, all prior before him dating back centuries were all buried in Bini Land in present day Edo State.

Even logically, history tells you that the first Europeans to come to the Island were the Portuguese in the 13 or 14th century, Lagos is a Portuguese word, who does history tell us the Portuguese interacted with when they got to the island? The Binis.
