At least you're beginning to drop that impunity of BAT till 2031.

I'm happy you guys are seeing the handwriting on the wall.

Tinubu will be a one-term illegitimate president

seunmsg:
The hatred for SW won’t allow some of you see beyond your nose. The north is not going to handover any power to the SE whether in four years or twenty years. If Atiku wins in 2027, he will contest for another term and there is nothing anybody can do about it.

Considering how the north has behaved since 2023, they will still put up a candidate even after 8 years of an Atiku presidency. They will simply coalesce around another El-Rufai, Tambuwal, Kwakwanso or whatever. The north can’t just do without power and a mere promise to just do one term is not what will make them handover to any Ibo person.

And the middle belt are no fools, they have nothing to benefit from another Fulani led government. The people of southern Kaduna are just breathing a sigh of relief from the shege they saw under Buhari/El-Rufai, they won’t run to another Atiku whose only campaign point is the restoration of Fulani hegemony and nothing else.

Whatever the case, you all are free to dream. We shall meet you fire for fire and treachery for treachery at the polls in 2027.

Tinubu is not governing but playing politics perpetually.

It ends for him in 2027

LegendHero:
Make e go use am become president nao since na by Twitter follower.

Make e dey govern for social media make we dey govern for Nigeria.

Gas from SE to people who despises South Easterners

Buhari worked for Abacha and yet you supported for 8yrs of failure

UpaIweka:
Id not Tinube shoukd we have voted the pandora criminal who selfishly accwpted appointed from Abacha wvwn when he know Abacha killed MKO Abiola n his wife Kudirat Abiola or who pls ?!

Can't you see that ReignOfMockery is not changing mouth from Obi will never be president to Northerners should not allow Obi to be president.

He is now seeing the handwriting on the wall

Ikaeniyan0:
Peter 0bi will never become the president of Nigeria

You're not wise. El Rufai is the one that wants to be Obi vp.

Tjra:
He's now begging to be made VP to either El Rufai or Atiku again 😂

Shameless man

The coalition will not be f00lish not to put Obi in the ticket. The ticket is Obi-ElRufai

IgOga:
lol.

If Atiku is in the coalition, Atiku will be the candidate.

Atiku is the APC wing of the coalition, Amaechi and Elrufai will be gunning for VP position /influencer. Obi may loose both ways or stay put in Labour Party

You're not a serious minded person. Tinubu will not be allowed to continue with his terrible performance

OZIOGU1:
Abeg OBI should go and rest, the best chances he got was 2023 election and after that, the obidients did damage to his image and growing popularity by playing ethnic victimization card

Tinubu has failed in his primary responsibility and you trying to shift responsibility is dead onarrival.

Tinubu will be a one-term illegitimate president

helinues:
Ridiculous right, wait and let me explain

You see those abattoirs in Southern part of Nigeria, the owners don't mostly buy cows everyday, they have cows in both North and South that the herders( Herdsmen) are looking after for them. They only give them money and expect whatever it takes to keep their cows for them.

If you see some herders all away from North settling down in any forest in southern part of Nigeria, they are mostly invited by the owners of the cow .

Why can't those who are into cow business from Southern part of Nigeria build ranches for their cows, that would avoid the unnecessary clashes of the herders and the farmers. Cows sometimes don't hear payan, not much the herders can do in controlling the cows during grazing

This is just pretense at solving a problem. State government do not have the resources or capacity to run a parallel transmission line.The current transmission lines should be privatized as was done for generation and distribution. Government should only regulate!


What the federal government needs to do is to get serious investors to invest in the power sector

aribisala0:
Your question is disingenuous

With this new development States can develop transmission ecosystems that are parallel to what is in existence or they can totally decouple from existing transmission systems
It will not happen overnight but the option is there legally

There are already tiny examples of decentralization scattered across the country e.g In the Niger Delta the Oil majors have generated their own Power. Dangote is generating his own power at his cement and other industries

At power plants like Kainji and Egbin Within their campus they power their staff quarters and offices directly from power they generate before it goes to the grid and have extended same to host community
Geometric in Aba distributes power off grid and On Grid
Lagos State Metro rail will be powered by off grid electricity

So there is already decentralization and this development affords states a CHOICE . They can decide to develop their electricity totally disconnected from the National grid

That option is open to states and the private sector and we can expect to see that particularly with Solar generation which is progressively cheaper


So on Decentralization

The fundamental difference is Licensing
States do not have to beg the FG to licence

The FG cannot delay of hold things up. It is truly DECENTRALIZED

You do not need to go to Abuja to start a plant in Aba. The governor can sign It is a big deal

You will start to see real competition and we will see those governors that are failing
Lagos will Do well and if the SS know what they are doing I expect economic explosion
I also expect Abia to be fine

No time to argue with you cos you're clearly uninformed

chinchum:
Seun introduced minimum of 40 characters to avoid weak contribution. what is stop playing? you don't have to comment when you don't have understanding. Resist the urge !

Stop playing!

chinchum:
That was the first sentence from the OP. Yes to your question

So transmission has been decentralized?

chinchum:
centralisation of transmission is one big problem that has partly kept us in darkness, and it is due to keeping that in the hands of FG. As critical and tongue in cheek you want to put this victory, it should begin to translate big success in the next few years.

Generation, distribution and transmission of power are the triad in power systems.

Peter Obi as the concensus presidential candidate of the coalition is non-negotiable and he'll defeat Tinubu in a landslide

helinues:
Peter Obi is already casted as someone who is not smart enough, have strong leadership will and can make bold decisions.

Peter Obi himself has been contradicting his own beliefs lately. His last economy discussion with Rufai of Arise confirmed things we have been saying about Peter Obi

We even want all the top otyer opposition leader like Atiku, Elrufai, Amaechi to support Peter Obi in 2027 and see how he would be roundly defeated before 2pm on The election day

Nothing like Muslim Muslim ticket narration again

Health, he's shaking blalalal bluu is now a stale story

Regions are receiving development, the governors have stopped borrowing unnecessarily that's all under 2 years

Tinubu has failed irreversibly and will be booted out 2027.

aribisala0:
You are truly unique in your capacity for self deception. You have no peer

The state houses of assembly can make laws regarding their state.

Tinubu is a failure pretending to work

teepain:
This doesn't qualify to be described as abdication of responsibility because power generation and distribution had been privatized prior to this. What the current action of the FG does is to allow various state governments more latitude in regulating and administering energy in their various domains.

What do you mean by Buhari signed a law, Tinubu implimented?

dederocs:
You are contradicting yourself...ask yourself what did the other presidents do to move us towards true federalism...Buhari signed Tinubu implemented. Am not a fan of politicians but I like progressive policies, stop dropping names, you are beginning to sound like a sycophant, let's focus on the topic. Buhari was a disaster.

Fubara stooping low to conquer.
Rivers people are for Obi 2027

Lets focus on the major reforms like state police and resource control.

GEJ and Buhari already signed this electricity bill and thats why Geometric power in Abia was able to do that.

We cannot be tweaking existing law just to appear to be working.

dederocs:
We all do, this is a step towards true federalism, unless you don't know what it means.

GEJ should have mentioned the name of that aide. I'm disappointed!
We need to know the enemies of Nigeria

Reason like a human being na!

Why will an estate owner rent a room in the estate he used to own when money is not a problem?

blacksam01:
...Many times I wonder why has this never happened... Does the law permit and ex-president to contest for governor of his home state...?

He is 94, is he supposed to live forever?
Mourning shouldn't be the right word

Tinubu will not do jack! Tinubu still allows repentant bokoharam terrorists who have killed hundreds to go free and even give them money

WorldRichest:
Just watch and see Tinubu’s plan for them. Even you will weep for them.

State Police is already being finalised. Any Southern state that likes should allow herdsmen on its land.

Ranches all over the country where Southerners, Middle Beltans and Core Northerners will tear their animals, anyone seen with Cow anywhere outside the Ranches will be shot at sight by individual State Polics.

Now each State Police can import its weaoand be ready for confrontations by any region

Every morning with different girls? Abeg tell us another story again.

KiNg0G:
To be sincere I got disvirgined by prostitute while back when I was still in secondary school Jss2 to be precise. I still remember that day clearly I met with one of my class mate who took it upon himself to show me different joints since that day my life has never been the same.

I don't approach women not like I can't but I find it stressful when I could just go to a joint and pay to be serviced.

Years has gone pass I have graduated from arshawol joints to hook ups which we all know is very expensive. It's not like I can't keep up with the lifestyle but I am tired of having to live this way year in and year out with no changes.

Every morning when I wake up with a different girl beside me I feel emptiness within me like a loser. I might decide to stop but immediately as time goes I relapse.. it's almost like I have been programmed this way.

All my age groups are married with kids of their own but I keep on dumping mine in condoms every night.

They did it against GEJ, many yorubas supported them as they betrayed the South and now the chicken has come home to roost

tunjijones:
Bombing don start again.

Northern politicians, Una well-done o.

Tinubu is not coming back in 2027.
He has failed irreversibly and failure will not be reinforced!

Fortunately, South Westerners do not have the numbers to keep him there. He is being given the GEJ treatment

I want true federalism and especially 100% resource control

dederocs:
Gibberish...now we will know who the empty barrels are... companies, people create their own power systems and you come here to say a state can't work with partners and create power.

Tinubu is doing the right thing, we are not joined in the hip, we are not truly one, it's good to release us from the bondage of backward people. Every state for itself, those who can't think and progress will perish alone, time of drawing others back is gone. True federalism, decentralisation is the idea, and this was the original concept for Nigeria, next is state police, and state can have laws.

You think abdicating responsibility is the way to fix power?

Tinubu said if he cannot fix power in 4yrs, he should not be voted for

dederocs:
Good, let's see who the lazy governors are, always waiting to be fed, despite the huge potentials in their states to drive more IGR and build platforms and infrastructure to invite investors into the power sector.

He is not useful in or out of Nigeria so it doesn't matter

You're trying to create a mountain out of these tax bills

BlackAdam65:
"Margaret Thatcher also said 'Pennies don’t fall from heaven they have to be earned on earth.'

This reform isn’t about taxation it’s about UNLOCKING productivity:

🔓 For Businesses: No more 10 different agencies harassing shops for taxes → More time to produce
🔓 For States: Keep your VAT/electronic taxes → Reward for productive economies
🔓 For Workers: No PAYE if you earn <₦83k → More money to spend/invest

Thatcher didn’t oppose taxes she opposed WASTE. This law forces states to earn their keep instead of begging Abuja.

Productivity starts when:
✔️ Governments stop stealing
✔️ Businesses aren’t strangled by touts
✔️ Citizens hold leaders accountable

Nigeria won’t tax its way to prosperity but it can’t prosper WITHOUT a sane tax system. This is that first step."

Benue not safe. She came to Lagos and met her death!

Which way naija?

You can't tax yourself to prosperity as Margaret Thatcher aptly puts it.

The only thing that can make Nigeria orosper is productivity

BlackAdam65:
"You’re missing the point. This isn’t just about taxes it’s about POWER.

Prosperity doesn’t come from taxes alone, but from WHO controls the money and HOW it’s used. For decades, states were beggars waiting for Abuja’s crumbs. Now:

✅ Lagos, Rivers, Kano – Can finally reap what they sow
✅ Smart Governors – No more excuses; build or get exposed
✅ Businesses – No more harassment by touts & multiple taxes

The real issue isn’t taxation it’s ACCOUNTABILITY.

If your governor gets ₦10bn extra monthly and still can’t fix roads or schools, the problem isn’t the tax system… it’s the leadership.

This reform doesn’t guarantee prosperity it guarantees no more hiding places for failures.

Now, the question is: Will YOUR state use this power wisely… or waste it as usual?"
