I want to Thank God almighty for His provisions, his love and unendingly Mercies upon my life. This post is very dear to me and I'm praying that it graces the frontpage of this Highly esteemed platform. This is more like a Testimony to me. I don't want to share this in church reason I'm sharing it here.
In 2022 after Service(NYSC), I had to relocate to Abuja to live with a cousin. When I arrived & saw his apartment and the compound he lived, I was so sad & disappointed. It's a place that had over ten people Sharing one toilet & bathroom, a very irritating environment. But a month into my arrival, We were able to pack out to a decent one room self-contain apartment. After a year, he asked me to move out cos he had impregnated his girlfriend & the girl was moving in to live with him. I had no place to go. I lost the job I was managing to do due to instability and emotional distress. Nobody to help. No parents.
Luckily, I ran into an old sch mate who was my senior at the uni. He was our fellowship(Winners campus fellowship) president at the time. He's now a pastor, and married. I explained everything to him, and he gave me an apartment to stay. This apartment already had two months to the expiration of the rent. The original occupant of the apartment had relocated to another state & handed the place to this pastor friend of mine. While I packed In there, my pastor friend treated me with utmost disrespect. He ensured I served him as personal assistant who will be running errands for his church. I was without a job at this time and I could not feed at all. This man never helped me in this regard. Anyway, it's not his duty.
After two months, the rent(80k) expired. Thank God I got a job that would pay me 25k. I explained my situation to my new employer who shares same tribe as me and he loaned me 40k to give my landlord so I can retain the apartment. The landlord accepted. Later I was able to balance the rent. When my pastor friend discovered I had paid the rent, he stopped trying to use me as he was. After one year, the entire building was sold, the new landlord came & increased the rent from 80k to 120k. This house had no light or water. There were several cases of theft(Burglary). I was even a victim. I had no money to pay the new rent as my salary was now 30k and the cost of living had risen. The new landlord threatened and harassed me severally. I couldn't sleep, I lost concentration at work. I was psychologically down & even having suicidal thoughts. Where would I go from here?
Eventually I packed out to avoid further embarrassments. I packed Into a friend's house who initially refused accommodating me, but later gave me only a month to stay. Within this one month, he would send me out to go sleep elsewhere whenever he was bringing a woman home. I suffered. I slept on a long bench throughout my stay. Before the expiration of this one month, my friend's next door neighbor was about to pack out and relocate to Lagos. She still had three months left on her rent. I told her I wanted the house and would pay her the remaining three months(#37, 500). But she must introduce me to the landlord first so as to avoid issues later. She objected, I insisted. So we got to see the landlord. I suggested to the landlord that I was pay for a full year so he could take out of the money and pay the woman her three months balance. But later I couldn't raise this rent(150k), I was only able to raise three months and I paid the woman., she packed out, while I packed in. Two weeks after, the landlord's wife came to me very early at 4:25am to wake me up & asked that I pay the balance of the rent or she returns what I had paid to the former occupant so I can pack out within three days. She said what I did was against the agreement I had with her husband. I had to kneel down and beg her for forgiveness. I begged for weeks. They allowed me. The three months I had paid for would expire on the last day of this month, February. The landlord said I had already breached the agreement and they will not let me use their property. But in the end, they allowed me. Just yesterday, I paid for a full year. I saved aggressively to pay this. I couldn't imagine further embarrassments. I can now sleep in peace. House rent is Bae. My only challenge now is that I no longer have what to eat after paying the rent.
To God be the Glory.

You don really suffer for this life. It's a lesson too.

All the occupants of the compound will produce the killer

FG Targets 65% Increase in Electricity Tariffs to Reflect Production Cost

Nigeria | 1 hour ago

https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2025/02/02/fg-targets-65-increase-in-electricity-tariffs-to-reflect-production-cost/


The federal government has said that for electricity tariffs to reflect the actual cost of production, some Nigerians might need to pay over 65 per cent of what they are currently paying for a kilowatt/hour of electricity.

Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Energy, Olu Verheijen, told Bloomberg that Nigeria’s power prices need to rise by about two-thirds for many customers to reflect the cost of supplying it.


Verheijen, who noted that an increase can be expected within months, however noted that the higher electricity tariffs will need to be balanced by subsidies for less-affluent consumers.
According to the special adviser, who spoke in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, the additional fund is required for the maintenance needed to improve reliability and to attract private investors into power generation and transmission.


“One of the key challenges we’re looking to resolve over the next few months is transitioning to a cost-efficient but cost-reflective tariff,” Verheijen said in the interview.
This is needed “so the sector generates revenue required to attract private capital, while also protecting the poor and vulnerable,” she added.


The president had already taken a number of steps to ease the burden on state finances and encourage private investment since taking office in May 2023, including removing subsidies on motor fuel.
Power prices were already tripled for some customers last year.

While Nigeria, a nation of about 237 million people, has an electricity access rate of around 62 per cent, an erratic grid supply limits productivity and disrupts daily life, the report pointed out.
The move to raise tariffs comes amid mounting pressure from Nigeria’s debt-burdened electricity Distribution Companies (Discos) for tariffs to be cost-reflective so they can improve their finances.

The country privatised generation and distribution in 2013, yet prices set by the government’s Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) don’t cover the suppliers’ costs. Government subsidies cover some of the difference, but profitability is hard to achieve, Bloomberg reported.

Verheijen was in Tanzania attending a World Bank-backed conference where Nigeria presented a $32 billion plan to boost electricity connections by 2030. Private investors are expected to contribute $15.5 billion and the rest will come from public sources, including the World Bank and African Development Bank (AfDB)
Nigeria’s power industry needs significant investment to achieve its development aims, Verheijen said.
Of the country’s 14 gigawatts of installed power, only eight gigawatts can be transmitted around the country and just four or five gigawatts can be directly delivered to homes and businesses, she noted.

Siemens AG is working with the government on a $2.3 billion project to improve transmission and distribution, while more than seven million Nigerians in rural areas have been given access to power via decentralised renewable projects.
“Your energy policies have to be closely linked with your own ambition for your country,” Verheijen said.

“Our own ambition is to be a $1 trillion economy in five years and to move to an upper-middle income country in 25 years,” she added.

Don't be surprised they will have a landslide victory in 2027. These guys understand the psyche of Nigerians. This is why they continue to champion sharia, terrorism and almajiri. The learned/enlightened Nigerians are actually the minority and are irrelevant in the scheme of things.

TheNiceGuy:
I posted this earlier but was deleted by Nairaland though it violated no rule but because of deep-seated hate the forum have for Islam. If it were to be twisted thread against Islam/Muslim/the Shari'ah, the forum would gladly keep it and move it to front page. That's the hypocrisy



The call for the establishment of a Shari’ah panel or court in Yorubaland is not a new demand; rather, it is a legitimate right of Muslims, deeply rooted in both historical and constitutional grounds. No one has the authority to dictate for Muslims how they should practice their religion, and any opposition to Shari’ah within the Muslim community itself is either born out of ignorance, hypocrisy, or outright criminal intent.

Nigeria is a multi-religious country with a constitution that upholds freedom of religion (Section 38 of the Nigerian Constitution). Muslims have the right to practice their faith in accordance with Islamic teachings. Shari’ah is not a threat to anyone, it is a system of justice for Muslims who willingly submit to its rulings.

Historical Presence of Shari’ah in Yorubaland
Contrary to what some claim, Shari’ah is not foreign to Yorubaland. Before the colonial era, many Yoruba Muslim communities practiced Islamic law to settle disputes, particularly in personal and family matters such as marriage, inheritance, and business ethics.

The strongest opposition to Shari’ah courts often comes from fake Muslims and criminals who fear that Islamic justice will expose their corruption, fraud, and moral decay. Genuine Muslims who understand the role of Shari’ah would never oppose a system that enforces justice, morality, and accountability before Allah. Those who claim to be Muslims yet fight against Islamic law should question their own faith and sincerity.

Shari’ah Is for Muslims, Not for Non-Muslims
It is important to clarify that Shari’ah courts are not meant to impose Islamic laws on non-Muslims. They exist to serve Muslims who willingly submit to them in personal and civil matters.

The demand for a Shari’ah panel or court in Yorubaland is a non-negotiable right for Muslims. It is part of religious freedom, historical practice, and a means of ensuring justice among Muslims. Anyone who fights against this right, especially from within the Muslim community, should deeply reflect on their faith and intentions. True Muslims know that Shari’ah is justice, and justice is the foundation of any righteous society.

If this offends you, feel free to insult, abuse, or curse me all you want, it won’t change the fact that this is my right as a Muslim, and I will continue to advocate for it unapologetically. Your insults won’t shake my belief, nor will they silence me.

What is so special about yoruba land? You guys should hurry up and come to Edo State with the sharia stuff. I want to check something.

This man is a disgrace. Let him tell us how much he stole as buhari's minister. If you think he is blowing the whistle because of love for country, think again.

He's bitter because they've left him behind. I support whatever tinubu does to him henceforth. Afterall he bankrolled buhari & destroyed the destinies of millions of youths.

the look of things, tilumbu has sold the yorubas for power & the yoruba governors are complicit. They have used ronu format to enter. Now is time to fulfill their bargain with fulanis. Meanwhile the electorate are shouting online as if it matters. If they don't resist violently, sorry for them. They think tilumbu appreciates their loyalty that's why they don't want to hold him accountable.

Despite how crooked the FCT minister is, when he was a governor he made it very clear that his state is a Christian state. He even demolished a mosque. When you show head_slammers that you can match their violence, they will always give you your way.

See how much Elon Musk spent on a total stranger, just because they share the same values?

First of all, I don't intend to sound entitled. Nobody owes me anything. Your money is your money.

In Nigeria's last election, not even one state governor publicly identified with Obi, let alone any captain of industry. This is despite knowing his values, his past records, what he brings to the table & what we all stand to benefit as a nation.

On the other hand, Elon Musk risked almost his career.

Coupled with tribalism issues, It was majorly youths, pastors like Oyedepo/Enenche/Chris and some Nigerians in diaspora that were active for Obi. I left my polling unit by midnight that day. I also remember musicians PSQUARE that were very serious about this, mobilizing voters, tweeting and flying around the country doing free shows. No single influential business man I can remember.

Those group of guys who donate & kill 100 cows for their mother's burial we're no where to be found. Silent throughout.

Is it that no billionaires & politicians in Nigeria share the same values with Obi, or is there something the average Nigerian like me isn't aware of?

This is a general issue in Africa. Black people are really wonderful 😊

The annoying part is that they will catch the kidnappers & hand them over to naija police. This rubbish has to stop

Good evening everybody I am need of mature advice because I am depressed, it happened that I was married fourteen years ago I gave birth to one daughter who is 12 years old. I couldn't conceived again for so many years we had been to hospital and we were fine no medical issue at all. Although I wasn't aware because I trusted him a lot and I wasn't paying attention until 2021 a random number messaged me on WhatsApp sending me pic of her and my hubby and scan so she was pregnant for my hubby. This secret is very hard for me to swallow I really hate my hubby for impregnated her once again knowing fully well she was messing around with other men when she had the wins. My heart is really shattered and going back to her he had put our lives in risk of catching diseases. He is begging me but I am finding it very hard to forgive him I don't know what to do please help?

You have limited time. Use it to obtain all you can from your husband. Set up your own business in your name, acquire your own land & house in your name. Establish yourself financially because you are in a sinking ship. Take what you can before everything scatters. Learn from Annie idibia ( Mrs 2face)

My wife went to women afair to report me. So I got invitation letter to come to women afair next week.

I don't think I will go there because am planning to go to court to seek for custody of my two boys. I don't want to be sending her money for my boys. Please what do you suggest should I go or not?

From the look of things, the marriage otilo

This guy was literally out of work for two years and during this period all his friends deserted him. My family had all hands on deck to provide financial support for them during those trying times. To see how he became a monster after getting back on his feet hits me by surprise

This is how he pays you for your kindness. There's no sugar-coating here. Your sister is about to be killed. Don't go to human rights.

Find out when he will be at home, especially at night. Then mobilize soldiers there. Let them break in and threaten him violently. Ignore whatever excuses your sister is giving. Life is at stake here.

The soldiers should make it clear that the next time he beats his wife will also be his last. I hate ungrateful people.

How Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu Killed Sir Ahmadu Bello and His First Wife, Hafsatu, and Laughed For the Camera Thereafter


When Major Chris Anuforo went to his house to demand the keys to the armoury, he refused and was shot. He was NOT on the original list of people to be killed.

Exactly a year ago today, Major Chris Anuforo's daughter emailed me a threat to my life, and I disregarded it but published her email. And then, two days after her threat, a gentleman with an accent that betrayed his accent traced me to my jogging route and threatened me. I am undeterred.

As long as some people keep trying to twist the truth, people like me will expose the facts. And if you kill us, our children will take our place to prevent you from spinning a false narrative.
