LoL 😆

So, you are underestimating the political prowess of Seyi Tinubu?

Seyi Tinubu is the next governor of Lagos state.

Take this to the Bank!

Its not going to happen. Tinubu cannot stop Obasa from putting forward his sone for LG Chairman and then go ahead and out Seyi for Governor. That will create bad blood. He has set a precedence with Obasa, it will be foolhardy for him to try and circumvent it for his own son.

Lalar27:
The right person for the job is seyi Tinubu. I see the legacy of his father in him and am very sure if he contested and won he will fo wonders to Lagos state and me the state the best state in Africa

What is his pedigree? What has he achieved in his life?

SmartPolician:
This was what agbadorians told us about Babatunde Fashola until he proudly wasted 8 years as a Darkness Minister

But compare the two. power supply under Adelabu is visible better! it's like night and day.

Fashola was a huge disappointment

Hakimi if he wins UCL?

Salah again.

Given that the price of crude oil has been averaging around $65 or less per barrel for nearly a month, I would have expected petrol price to fall significantly more than it has done.

If petrol price can't go to around N750 when crude oil price has fallen so much, that's a bad sign.

It means petrol price in this country will probably not fall to N700 for several years to come.

On what basis should petrol have fallen to N750 based on the current price of crude which is about
$63? What level of knowledge on crude pricing and petrol Dynamics do you have??

So N10 is slash again? So simple 'reduce' no suffice.

Sharpsharp00123:
u are here hailing your own despite d fact that u know he's in jail n u knew what took him to jail.

But the same u wants every Yoruba to condemn tinubu who wasn't caught for any tribe.

It's taboo for yorubas to celebrate tinubu but u Igbos can celebrate ekweremadu even in jail.

I can bet if tinubu was an Igbo person u Igbos will hail him to high heaven.

To u Yoruba buts who believe being woke is throwing your own under d bus, think about it. These people only want u to destroy your own, they will always celebrate their own no matter how worse he is

Nigerians abre the biggest hypocrites on the planet.

So Corolla is now luxury vehicle?

Most people who do so may be drivers trying to make quick cash, now the vehicleb owners, is it's a nice car.

Dogalmighty17:
With the equipments modern fighter jets now possess, dogfighting has become an antiquated term. Most fighter jets now have BVR(beyond visual range) strike capabilities with fire and forget stand-off missiles. You don't need to visually spot the enemy before you engage. The American built F-35 for instance can engage targets 150 miles away and can attack planes that are right behind it.

That said, in 2025 if fighter pilots are dog fighting each other then something has gone terribly wrong.

From the article, if you read it, you should know it wasn't a dog fight

Its not enough for SEC to issue statements and public notices.

They should go after them ASAP and arrest them, before their operations even begin to scale up.

Going by the rule of thumb of $1mln for 1MW, $122bln could deliver 122,000MW. Fine not all of this may be for generation, but I wonder exactly what the amount entails.

Would also be good to know what the FG plans to spend and how much will come from investors. This plan needs to be detailed out at a very minute level.

Years ago, Onanuga was busy abusing the PDP government. Now he can't see anything wrong in this government where he is eating. This old lying man will soon go into oblivion like his predecessor, Femi Adesina.

Despite that, you cant deny that Onanuga also makes very valid points.

Quality of life has many, many determinants. Rural people who have telephones today and can call their children in the city anytime can argue a better quality of life than 20years ago.

OndoNews:
https://thenationonlineng.net/brace-for-cost-reflective-tariffs-minister-tells-nigerians/

This article suggests that the current N209/kwh for band A is cost reflective. if that is the case, the best way to restructure the tariffs is to have a tiered system where the first 100kwh consumed in a month is a bit cheap to cater for very low income folks, while from 100kwh per month to 999kwh per month is at the current band A price for everybody. Then above1000kwh per month is like N250, so that these ones are subsidizing the low income folks.

It will also encourage those who use electricity unnecesaarily above 1000kwh per month to reduce consumption.

of course all ive said here is for residential consumers.

RoxyBrownAutos:
I don't know where the National Electricity Regulatory Commission got their figure of 116.18 kilowatts per hour.My bill for the same month is 180.77kw per hour.This means the government don't have accurate figure.

Did you pass comprehension in school?

How many females does the been even have that 400 ladies videos have been recorded. Unless he recorded the same people in multiple visits to the toilet over a period of time.

This is more likely, especially when your consider that one can use the bathroom at work 2 to 3 times a day.

Mrchippychappy:
I hate to be the one to do this, but basically the game went on for 62hrs, there were stops for water breaks, food and bathroom breaks as well. Impressive record but these records are only surface level, in actuality, they really don't mean anything when you look at the bigger picture. Congrats to him anyway

Indeed. I'm struggling with what the fuss is all about!

Bowwow11:
Is that a reduction? Bring the price down ward to at least 400 or 500 hundred naira only then will I commend the NNPCL.

That ship has sailed! Be there doing wishful thinking

lastmessenger:
6gigawatts in lagos while the whole of Nigeria has 4.5gigawatts for transmisión and distribution and 10gigawatts installed capacity.
And they want to install it in 3 years. Ok na. Lying since 2010

Nigeria is currently doing 5300MW by the way.

Nigerians wont learn.

The will say they want to be part of the first, so they can live off the new investors.

Sometimes it works where someone invests N1mln early and has made an extra N1mln before it crashes

But other times you put in N1mln and have only collected N250k before it crashes, so you lose N750k

nairavsdollars:
doesn't make sense to me but Dangote can help her if it trends to appreciate her effort

The publicity that she baked Dangote's cake is probably help enough.

festacman:
Come on Seun, making this statement is shocking and disappointing: "I have lost touch with Nairaland and I don't really know what's going on here." I don't think Elon Musk would say that of Twitter.

The fact is that Nairaland is a cashcow that would always generate much more than it needs to maintain it. But, unfortunately, you don't seem to see it like that because of, may be, other business ideas.

My key recommendation is that you manage Nairaland closely like a going concern it is. Once, you do this, ideas for improvement like the original conceptualization of Nairaland will crystallize in your creative mind. It is your baby. Growing it should be intentional on your part rather than ONLY in reaction to critics.

Peace!

Seun, we need to know when a comment has been edited!

datola:
Hmmm.... it's neither here nor there especially for average Nigerians.

Higher crude oil price means more money to the government and most will be looted or misappropriated while ordinary citizens pay price far more for fuel on the excuse of higher crude oil price in international market.

When crude gets to $40 and exchange rate gets to $/2000 and price of bread hits N2700, before you know it impacts you abi?

When semi illiterates drive these thing this is what you get. So the guy has no clue the what the height of the container is.

bjdon:
Wrong, if people are getting constant power they will accept the higher bills. This is 2025 and we need to be following global best practices. Govt's role should be limited to regulation

So all the folks protesting Band A cost recently na wettin? meanwhile they didn't say they weren't getting the light o

happney65:
All these are nonesense. The government should hands off completely and remove their hands from the sector.

Until when you do,all these wont do a thing. You are just beating around the bush and nothing else

Period!

When govt removes their hand from the sector, I hope you can pay the market reflective tariffs? No come dey shout Band A o!

Skodiswayze:
Point of correction, the Lagos rail line project is funded by the federal government, not state funding

Nope that's incorrect. What FG did is the Lagos Ibadan rail line. The Blue line is funded by LASG.

Most of the red line train tracks were done by the federal government as part of the Lagos Ibadan. However, the lagos state governments added a few tracks and built the red line train stations

nairalanda1:
Lagos has the revenue to do such projects.

Most other states would have to take loans to do what Lagos is doing.

Even then, Lagos took 15 years to do two lines out of seven. 15 years. It's because the cost was too much.

Not because it couldn't be done in 8. Ambode stopped for his entire 4 year tenure and it took Sanwo Olu the first 2 to 3 years of his first term to get it back on track. If it had never stopped, it could have been done in 4 to 6 years.

enambobo:
Honestly MTN steals Data. I abandoned their network a week ago for Glo and my Data has been lasting. Just yesterday night, I tried doing their one day plan for 500mb due to Glo network issue. I didn't even use the data cos MTN also has network issue. Was surprised to wake up this morning with the message, "you have 78mb data left". I'm like what in hell is this? I couldn't even use the data how mange did it go?

1 single app update can chop that data?

jazzman7711:
The Nigerian military is ranked 31st in the world out of 205 countries,

Nigeria has one of the most powerful militaries in the world.

On the very same list, your country, Ghana is ranked 110th, so know your mates.

Global Firepower Index:
https://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-listing.php

Its not just about boots on the ground or even having the equipment. Its about the common sense and strategy and planning to utilize them effectively.

Isn't it strange that in Nigeria they will tell you Bandits and the Army were in a firece gun battle for 5 hours. Yet a commercial plane will go from Lagos to London in 5hrs. So how come they never got air support in that time. Do we not have Air bases in the north? So there is nowhere in the North, that a jet cant reach in 1hr max and maybe even 30 minutes. So how are bandits fighting for 5 hours?

We dont even have simple structure in place for immediate air support between Army and Airforce.

This is a modern city. Not that mediocrity they did in Abuja

Abuja is an excellently planned city. The issues as usual is we Nigerians. Over time, we have started messing it up.
