Very good in the past 4 weeks. Almost 22 hours a day. When it goes its back in 5 minutes. Although a slight blip between Wednesday and Saturday, but Eko Disco said there was drop in allocation from the grid, which has been restored. Lekki Lagos.

Nothing changes they should improve for 24 hours electricity. Make una stop this yeye questions. APC regime is a disgrace

Then you should be willing to pay for it.

AMINDA:
Tinubu clearly looks older than Atiku and is less fit, but he is still contesting. Have you ever asked him to retire from politics?

Waziri Atiku Abubakar is coming! He is bringing subsidies back because the current removal is just an empowerment for governors to embezzle.

Populist statement to excite the mob who are uninformed in economic matters.

If you've ever watched Gladiator or Spartacus, you know the mob just need to be excited, but they don't make the best decisions.

In as opposition is 2 or more parties, its already a failure. APC will win.

The only opposition that can work is a united one, like the 2015 election opposition.

For 2027, the opposition needs to bring Atiku, Obi, makinde, Amaechi, kankwaso under one umbrella.

But opposition should not win just for the sake of changing government. What will they do differerntly? That has never been stated clearly and articulaltely. Not even by Obi, who has been going around talking everywhere a microphone is available.

Left to me, if there is no clear economic strategy, corruption reduction measure etc, I will vote APC, becuause even though I am not a fan of APC or Tinubu, I'll rather the devil I know than the one I don't know.

Tinubu has done well in:
Road rehabilitation and reconstruction nationwide
Oil and Gas Reforms, the best in over 30 years
Exchange rate stability
Improved electricity generation and availability
Tax Reforms
Trade Surplus
Enabling Dangote refinery to stabilise operations
Solid Mineral Reforms
NELFUND
Petrol subsidy removal - as painful as it has been, its the right thing to do for Nigeria's long term survival. Wasting money burning a fossil fuel was ruinous, particulalry as we needed to borrow for the subsidy.
Exchange rate subsidy removal - as painful as it's been, its also the fight thing to do for Nigeria's long term survival. Too much business was based on getting dollars from CBN and selling on the parallel market.

The opposition have no strategy or economic blueprint that surpasses all these, so what exactly do they want to come and do in power?

The babe is as thick and busty as her mother.

Factual list of Nigeria’s presidential election winners since 1999, including each winner’s name and the percentage of valid votes they received.

1999 – Olusegun Obasanjo: about 62.78% of valid votes.

2003 – Olusegun Obasanjo: about 61.94% of valid votes.

2007 – Umaru Musa Yar’Adua: about 69.60% of valid votes.

2011 – Goodluck Jonathan: about 58.87% of valid votes.

2015 – Muhammadu Buhari: about 53.96% of valid votes.

2019 – Muhammadu Buhari: about 55.60% of valid votes.

2023 – Bola Ahmed tinubu: about 36.6–37% of valid votes.


Fact: Tinubu remains the most unpopular president to have 'won' the Presidential elections.

It is no wonder he kept on singing on your mandate he shall stand because his so-called victory was not popular but here's the question, he wants to test his popularity again. Then he didn't have the opportunity to show himself, now he has shown what he can do. Will you vote for him again?

Most of those elections had 2 strong contenders. The 2023 election had 3 strong contenders, so its only normal that the number of votes for the winner will be much less. Baseless analysis.

They are going to mess this Taiwo Oyedele up!

A Finance Minister and coordinating Minister can only be effective if he/she has full support of the President to carry out reforms, and I don't think Oyedele has it, which is very dangerous. It means Oyedele will say A, Wike will do B! Oyedele will say C, Umahi will do D!

Oyedele is not coordinating anything in theis government. It was the same issue I had with his predecessor.

Unlike Okonjo Iweala in her first tenure, who had full support of Obasanjo.

Na only nigeria they use concrete do road . The concrete self they break if you really know ball . The less than 5km concrete road wey then do for benin-auchi road done they break. Which civil engineering book suggest concrete over asphalt for highways. ApC go kill nigeria when they're done

Almost 100% of roads in Houston are concrete.

Concrete roads are not a silver bullet, because like all roads, they still need to be maintained.

However, for our environment, particulalry in the SW, SE and SE with high humidity, heavy rain and poor soil quality in many areas, concrete roads make the most sense.

The Oyo State Government has taken delivery of the two long-awaited security surveillance aircraft.


Sources: https://punchng.com/breaking-oyo-receives-two-surveillance-aircraft

Is it aircraft that requires pilots or drones? If its aircraft, then its a dumb decision. Drones would have been better. Much cheaper to purchase and operate and there are millitary grade drones that can atay airborne for 24hrs.

And even if its not millitary grade to carry weapons, a hybrid drone with multiple high defination camera arrays and instruments can still stay airborne for 12 hours at a time. Just buy 5 of those and rotate, with 2 airborne at any given time.

But if the government doesn't use them intelligently, it wont add much value.

SatanIsAllah:
You didn't need a crystal ball to see this coming.

There is literally nearly a century's worth of geological prospecting reports and geophysics data which categorically confirms that the crude oil reserves in the so called Northern Basins do not exist in commercial quantities. Yet they continued pouring billions of dollars into searching for something that doesn't exist.

Imagine pouring $3 billion down the drain for oil exploration only to discover a paltry 1 billion barrels in the entire Northern Nigeria! Compare that with 40 billion barrels in the Niger Delta region alone. There are small oil fields in the Niger Delta region that holds more crude oil reserves than the entire Northern Nigeria.

Do they think the international oil industry will be as gullible as Nigerians and not do risk assessment? You think a negligible 1 billion barrels coupled with insecurity of ISWAP, Ansaru, Boko Haram , Lakurawa etc will attract foreign investment into the oil blocks of Northern Nigeria?

This is what happens when sentiment prevails over economic pragmatism.

Thats if the discovery of the 1bln barrels is even accurate. It might have been a scam to get President Buhari to allocate budget to a bogus Kolmani development for them to steal.

Urgent1Million:
The cost of printing the lower denominations viz-a-viz the value of the notes themselves makes no economic sense.
After all, those notes can't even afford anything in the market.
They should just phase them out and let us continue using the higher denominations.
Even 100 and 200 naira will soon join their ancestors unless a responsible government with better policies takes over.

Ideally we should have a N5000 and N10,000 note.

Europe's electricity need is largely fed by gas while we find it difficult to provide stable electricity for oursleves for domestic and industrial use despite our huge gas reserve. I don't even know what to call this; low self-esteem or just pure wickedness!

Honestly, it makes little sense when we have over 7000MW of electricity capacity that we cannot produce due to insufficient gas!!

It doesnt change much, if anything at all.

Even if Dangote was seling in Naira, depreciation of the Naira against the dollar would still have made it more expensive, since Dangote buys more than half of his crde from abroad in dollars. And even the portion bought in Naira is still at the dollar echange rate equivalent.

So, no real difference.

Guys if you are not ready to foot the bill of your girl, there's no point taking her to an expensive restaurant, you can take her to any affordable place, simple!!!

Its not only about taking a girl to an affordable place. Its what she orders in the affordable place.

You might say Mr Biggs is affordable, with expectation that the girl will order sesnisble - like rice and chicken with soft drink.

When the girl now orders fried rice and salad with chicken and turkey and then 4meatpie, 4 do nut and 4 scotch egg with 4 drinks for take away, that one is unafordability in an affordable place.

Asari Dokubo Storms IYC Meeting With Gov. Douye Diri, Escorted by Heavily Armed Security

King Asari Dokubo made a dramatic entrance at the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) stakeholders' meeting alongside Bayelsa State Governor Sen. Douye Diri, but it was his heavily armed security escort that quickly became the center of attention. Videos from the event have sparked widespread reactions online, with many Nigerians questioning the scale of security surrounding the former Niger Delta militant leader. As the footage continues to circulate, the unusual display has fueled intense debate across social media over the level of protection afforded to a private citizen.

Honestly, Nigeria made a huge mistake in allowing Tompolo and Asari to be traditional rulers.

If these are the types of folks who become traditional rulers, then I have zero respect for the institution.

Very soon another millitant will become Oba of Benin or Olu of Warri.

Even an average SUG president wouldn’t make such a silly suggestion

What solution do you have?

He actually has a point. We have not used drones effectively enough to fight this terrorism. And not necessarily armed drones, but even drones with high resolution thermal imaging cameras for intelligence gathering.

When you see a swarm of 50 bike men moving together in Northern Nigeria, it can never be for a good reason. If we have like 10 surveillance drones moving across Northern Nigeria, added to intelligence from informers on the ground and satellite technology, we should be spotting these guys a lot better and eliminating them quicker.

Its only in Nigeria that Army base will be under sttack for 5 hours with no air support. 5 hours that ordinary 737 will fly from Lagos to London! Then we are truely not serious.

Candaceyanju:
thats a big lie. Its own by Lagos supported by others like Oak group, Live nation ,NSIA and Persianas group

The picture you quoted doesnt even support your own claim. The pictures says 'backed by' for all of them. You changed your own to 'owned by' Lagos stated and backed by the others.

I don’t believe this story. Who bought the devices? Starlink is not like MTN or other telecom companies which sell modems for tens of thousands of Naira. Their devices and subscriptions run into almost a thousand dollars.

https://businessday.ng/news/article/enugu-to-launch-660mw-coal-power-plant-in-july/

Remains to be seen if this will ever come to fruition, although Gov Mbah seems to have a good track record with project delivery.

But then again it report says it will take 24 months, which should mean 2028, yet also says it will be ready for commissioning in 2027! So clearly, they don't even know what they are doing.

But if it does become a reality, 660MW will certainly be by far more than enough for Enugu State. Currently the entire Enugu DISCO, which covers Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, Imo and Abia states, gets just about 300MW.
