MNK has this false sense of bravado. A disposition of invincibility.

Unfortunately he didn't know he was dealing with a lawless despot.

Is he a born again? Na dem sabi speak all big big grammar but can't read or write

What's your beef with born again people?

It is not hard to believe. The North does have a very porous border. After all Buhari has cousins in Niger.

Xray of the waist.

Either of the devices will do, but what you should be more concerned with is the data plans available.

512kbps will give you at best a download speed of 64KB/s that would translate to about 5.2 GB daily if you download for 24 hours of the day. Considering that, I think the Airtel 3GB daily is better.

Compare the plans side by side for a better analysis. Just the price of the router is not enough.

I should also add that the stability of each of these networks in your areas of usage will be another factor.

Nigeria's biggest problem is poverty. How could a paltry sum of 5,000 naira be enough to lure someone into such a risky venture.

These are private businesses, you can't force them to do more infrastructure. They will welcome anyone who will do it for them. In fact, NIPP did it before they went private. The Nigerian Rural Electrification Agency still do it. Local governments and even state governments do it. Infact, individuals do it. The DISCOs only do it when there is a huge revenue potential.

NERC only regulates them but to a limit. NERC always budge under pressure from the DISCOs. This infrastructure problem is just a tip of the iceberg, the problems are far many.

NBC abi na NCC couldn't force DSTV to implement Pay-per-view, its the same here.

For the fact that we don't produce the electricity equipment, relying on import is another huge problem. We import as little as wires, we also get to import transformers. All these depends on foreign exchange so you can imagine how a transformer that was N1m some years ago is N2m now.

If NERC is truly committed to their role as a regulatory commission, they should be able to mitigate these problems. It is not entirely hopeless.

You sound very informed about the sector. How is that so?

A responsible and responsive government feels like a failure when people governed, protest but not the case of Nigeria.

Shameless politicians polithiefians.

adanny01:
Have you forgotten that distribution of electricity is in private hands?

Ask anyone who uses 33kV lines for power supply, they get 22-24hrs electricity per day except when there is a system failure in the national grid. The reason is that 33kV, 132kV and 330kV networks are under the TCN while 11kV and 415V are under the DISCOs where you have the serious supply problems.

The problem is lack of adequate power transformers and bad 415V network. Build a house today 500m from the last 415V pole, you will be totally responsible for extending the service to your house. A lot of people will use substandard wires for their own usage but years down the line, that house becomes a community without any upgrade to the wire that was meant for 1 house. That community begins to affect the transformer.

It i well known that DISCOs don't buy power transformers or cables and poles for communities. Everyone is on his own with that regard, as such these things are being over loaded. They end up having to turn off the electricity for the systems to cool off or they simply cannot turn on the electricity for every one at the same time.

In summary, the power is there but the DISCOs cannot use all of it because of inadequate infrastructure at their end.

Very enlightening and interestingly simple.

So the problem is the DISCOs, and it is common knowledge?

Why can't the government, notably the Ministry of Power do something about it?

If the NCC can sanction private telecommunication companies and NBC, broadcasting companies. Why can't the government set up a commission that looks into all the various power companies and sanction the failing DISCOs and get them to get their act together?

If this were to be successful, it will help the situation of the North poverty wise.

But we know, political sentiments masked as religion won't make it see the light of the day.

Amazing views.

More equipments and better management, and it will be perfect.

Who else thinks this is Lai lying again?

Stop wasting your time, he can't hear

That tweet is fake. Mark wouldn't use "maybe" in place of "may be".

adanny01:
The first page is filled with ignorant comments as with 90% of the threads on NL.

Power problems in Nigeria is mostly distribution issues and not generation. Secondly, transmission is the second but far smaller problem.

That means Nigeria can afford to sell unused generated power.

And the distribution issues cannot be solved?

It is an NP-complete problem, right? So why should we waste our energy on that, let's just build transmission lines and sell the power.

This post is so saddening that it is should make any sane Nigerian cry.

In my area in Lagos, I can barely boast of 5 hours of power daily for the past few months but yet we have unutilized power to sell to neighboring countries.

We sell electricity to generate foreign revenue but we don't have electricity to promote industrialization that will revamp our economy in it's entirety.

Is this not madness?

To Buhari, Niger people could also pass off as Nigerians.

And I bet they do, during the elections.

I stopped reading at number 3.

And number 2 is a "penny wise pound foolish" option. When you get a medical emergency and have no insurance, then would you know the true cost of healthcare.

UstazAhmed:
I have said it that Imo is now worse than Borno. All of imolites are part of the evils we are seeing in that state today. They see something bad and do nothing. I am happy they are massively arrested because you can't differentiate between the terrorists in their midst and the non terrorist

Imo cannot and will never be worse than Borno. Not even remotely.

Howbeit, I know it is your wish but your wish is not reality.

Which kind of backwards and anachronistic order is this?

Even the criminal does have a right to stand trial

It is only on the occasion, where the criminal resists arrest and returns fire and your life is threatened that a security personnel should return fire, even at that non-fatal shots are preferred.

It is only in Nigeria that police and other security outfits shoot people without having to be investigated.

Who is to say, that the criminal police does not kill anyone they like and plant an AK-47 on them? Think about it.

And u think you can get a peaceful secession?

Why not?

My mother advice me never to look for a rich man who is well do whenever i'm set to get married.
she said i should marry a man that we will both start our life from the foundation, according to my mum, she said it is better to suffer with man to acquire wealth, than to go for a ready made soup.

Looking at the way things are going now, do you think a woman will now stoop so low and marry a poor man that is trying to make ends meet? Although, money is not love, but why would a parent wish her daughter to marry a poor man, i am begining to see my mum as a bad mother who does'nt wish me well.
Is it advisable i follow my mothers advice? I should stay in SURULERE instead of OLORUNSOGO.

Your mother is wise, and does have a point. But finances should never be the premise for choosing a life partner. That is the moral of the story.

I actually will prefer a man who is not very well to do yet, but has prospects, to a rich man for my daughter. Lest he finds himself thinking, she married him because of his money.

This is bigger than just freedom of speech.

There was no due process either.

FG just pronounced ban, and communicated same to NCC, who in turn ordered the Telecommunications companies to effect it.

Just like that. If that's how easy it is, FG can wake up and ban anything.

They could even ban you from breathing air.

banom:
Stop fooling yourself. You are the same person as the OP..only operating with different monikers .....bro we Igbos are ten times wiser than all of you other Nigerians...you are still a learner... Haven't you noticed no matter all your propaganda against Nnamdi Kanu our love for him keeps growing day by day. So stop wasting your time and fooling yourself.

Guy go and join ESN and bring me proofs, and stop making noise on Nairaland.

banom:
Honestly, did you really convince yourself that you are deceiving Igbos with this your useless propaganda post ?...oga your own propaganda still dey learn. Up it.

He is actually right. Violent secession would not work, with how much invested the Igbos are in other parts of the country, we need a peaceful secession where Biafrans in other regions can gradually set their house in other and return to their country without having to lose their investment.

But if you insist violence is better, please sign up with ESN and show us proofs of joining and don't be a keyboard warrior cheering others on to their deaths and destruction.

In Nigeria we play "my brother" politics even when "my brother" doesn't benefit you.

Why? Because the political class has brainwashed us with the mentality of "Us vs Them".

The North is worse off throughout Buhari's presidency but if there was a third term, the average northerner would vote Buhari over a credible Southerner yet again.

When I see ordinary and average people with no access to people in the political class agitating for the zoning of president to their region I just laugh, because even if that is the case your life will not be any better.

For me, if the Late President Umaru Musa Yaradua contested against any politician from my state, I'll vote Yaradua.


With no iota of doubt there is no way, a northern senator will move to impeach Buhari, if any tried it, his constituents will recall him in a twinkling of an eye.

This is one of the reasons there are some dissenting voices with respect to the Biafra agenda.

A country with no rule of law is bound to fail.

When Twitter went to Ghana to establish their HQ people were screaming to high heavens. That why Ghana when Nigeria had millions of Twitter users.

But there is this adage that what an elder sees while sitting down, a child will not see it even if he climbs the tallest iroko tree.

Twitter has been justified by choosing Ghana over Nigeria.

Imagine if Twitter HQ was in Nigeria, DSS would have gone there and shutdown their operations without any court order.

In Nigeria the president is Executive, Legislature and Judiciary all in one.

I made an IP reservation for my device, so I'm sure my device got a static ip with this method. With the external ip, I'm using no-ip to manage my ddns. I thought noip was the problem not until I failed to access my device through the external ip that was assigned to my router at that moment

Can you ping your router IP address from your phone?

Luigi03:
One said "send biko haram to Twitter HQ"
What a disgrace. These guys even knw that our government are the ones sponsoring them.
They are legit laughing at the stupidity and uselessness of our country *spits

I read that and it left a sour taste in my mouth.

sagieramos:
I could connect to my device with my phone when they are on the same router. Does anyone know how to connect to the same device outside my router or via the internet?

I use TP-LINK TL-MR6400 as my private router

You'll also need dynamic DNS running on your router, in order to have a consistent address for it. I suppose your router IP address is not static.

It is livestock not life stucks.
