They use to blame Generator importers for sabotaging NEPA facilities now that majority are going Solar will they also blame Solar equipment sellers for sabotage?

is it not possible to blame the solar and generator importer, or cant they work together

kiyosaki1:
It's all right

its past 3 days already still not restored ... its not alright

MASTAkiLLAh:
shebi the matter is global now ?

it was global the minute it aired on news and social media.. one search on google

even when she returns to the senate, the members might treat her like an outcast ... or is the court also going to force them to like her

emkz:
I suggest she writes to the EU, US and Saudi Arabia because this is a serious issue.

It is clear that this woman does not weigh her actions carefully before taking them.

1. There was a case of Akpabio holding her hand and showing her round his house and scratching her palm with his fingers. He then proposed to her in the presence of her husband that they could be coming there for "quality time". She said she didn't tell her husband the details nor report the incidence to the ethics committee. Mistake number 1.

2. She said when she visited Akpabio in his office to complain about her motion being stood down, Akpabio said as the chief presiding officer of the senate, he'd take care of her if she took care of him. She didn't report the incidence to the ethics committee. Mistake number 2.

3. On a routine day, she was re-allocated to a seat and she started quarreling when she refused to take her seat after she was told she could not speak from where she was. She said she was being silenced and was speaking for the Nigerian women. She could have simply moved to her new seat and made her contributions from there. Mistake number 3.

4. She answered a call from Brekete where she said the new seat they sent her to would hide her from the camera and she won't catch the eye of the senate president. That was a silly thing to say. Mistake number 4.

5. She went on Arise News and made claims of sexual harassment. That was her biggest mistake. She could have first made a report to the ethics committee and leaked it to the press. By doing a media appearance, she allowed those she was fighting prepare an ambush.

6. She then formally filed a petition against Akpabio on sexual harassment. It turned out to be improperly filed according to the senate red book, Order 40, sub 4. That exposed her as being unaware of parliamentary processes. Her colleagues ripped her petition to pieces. Mistake number 6.

7. Mistake number 7 was taking Akpabio to court over an infamous facebook post by Akpabio's aide where the aide said she wore transparent clothing and walked seductively in the senate. I am no fan of Akpabio, but he is not liable for what his aide wrote. His lawyers would argue correctly that he be excluded from the case.

8. Mistake number 8 was obtaining a court order to stop her probe. That could have given her ample opportunity to give cause to her conduct which could have allowed her cite the sexual assault issues and give evidence. By citing the cases, she could have put the ethics committee in trouble because their hands would have been tied.

9. Because she allowed her colleagues see the battle she was waging before sge waged them, they could prepare their counter-attacks.

10. I think going to the inter parliamentary union undermines her case. The IPU has no supervisory powers over Nigeria's senate and can do nothing to discipline Akpabio. What she'd accomplish is rubbishing and embarrassing Akpabio and her colleagues. Many of these people are already persona non gratae which makes her action self-defeating.

What she can do now is to take time out, listen to those who genuinely care about her and find a different tactic to fight this battle. She should forget about getting justice from this senate. My recommendation would be to file a formal petition in court or code of conduct tribunal against Akpabio and fight it till the end. Akpabio can be docked.

How can you say all of that and still push her into a legal fruitless war, we all know she cant win

from all indications Natasha has no valid evidence anywhere, you want to fight the number 3 citizen in Nigeria court under a Tinubu govt ... 😀c'mon must we fool ourselves

Naa so una decieve and push fubara ...

Maxymilliano:
I think at this stage, it's advisable she thread with her caution as she's taking it too far.

Her aim is to tarnish Akpabio's image and obviously she is doing that

All the tarnish Obedient did to Tinubu during the last election ... what changed,

she thinks she can pull all these stunt and last in that house ... these one no prioritize are constituency at all she just all for herself

MASTAkiLLAh:
Everything is not gragra na, Akpabio will be expected to explain himself in New York and they will definitely need the outcome of investigations into Natasha's allegations no matter the reason they say they suspended her. These people block their ears to reason and keep acting like crude apes. Nobody is saying he's guilty but sexual harassment is a very sensitive topic in the wider world that they don't joke with. If Akpabio really had an adviser who told him the truth and advised him on strategy, he would have opted for diplomacy instead of brute force but wetin concern me ? The king will have to dance nakéd in New York

You dont even understand your, Akpabio should opt for diplomacy how ?? give Natasha a blank cheque or step down for Natasha to take his position

The way some you think is very very funny sha, when someone wrongly accuse you do you negotiate with such a person ... do you know the extent of damage sexual harassment does true or not true

Natasha was sanctioned by the senate c'mitte, she disobeyed the house rule not Akpabio .. any other diplomacy from Akpabio is an acceptance of guilty.

We are waiting for UN to come n flog our senators, Natasha must be very stupid

zero8zero:
But this man Obidients are turning on is a Labour Party man. I don't know the problems of Obidients. All these maligning will not change anything.

please let them continue, next they will tell us how he collected loan from fairmoney to pay his palm pay debt

let them continue

Remove poverty worrying Nigerians and you will realize Tinubu is over rated

israelmao:
With this selfish comment from I can now see you share the same sentiment that El-Rufai shares against Southern Kaduna and you information I am not one of the supporters of Tinubu.

selfish is good sometimes, you are not even a southern kaduna resident why crying more than the bereaved

whatever happened in southern kaduna is surely in the past, Politics is all about interest, El rufai might not be the righteous man you all have being waiting for .. but if he can play a role to boot Tinubu out, we move

Nigerians need to reason beyond emotions, my enemy enemy is my friend, call me sell meat

Namaster:
Pregnancy craving is a MYTH used by wicked women to manipulate, ENSLAVE, debase and dehumanise their husbands.

A single mother will go to her shop and stay there until CONTRACTIONS starts.

But the moment a man, especially a HUSBAND, is actively INVOLVED; MADNESS begins.


That's when they'll wake you up at 3 AM because they're "craving" a turd-flavoured ice-cream made with UNICORN milk.

It's MADNESS!

Shebi naa husband wey put eye for ground .. me wake up 2am to dey find burnt akara upandan

real men can have all the award from women , i no want

*For the sake of the larger audience.

Read carefully my previous post, I support his refinery because it’s mutually beneficial but the brand Dangote is selfish, self absorbing, and unpatriotic.

Expanding the narrative… all over the world there comes a point in a man’s life where he chooses integrity, industry and immortality over money. In America today those who wield power are those breaking out of the private sector and working to fix the ills in government so it can be just as efficient as the private sector. Same is happening in Europe.

Dangote for year has been in tandem with successive governments to exploit the average Nigerian. Can anyone list 5 public infrastructure donate by his company to improve the welfare of Nigerians? Has he built a public library? or a stadium? Or public schools? Or supported technology and research?

Bill gates is an American that could have chosen to spend every penny he has on exotic shoes, cars and women but his company global good bridges the gap between death and survival in many third world countries. Same as the Dutch royal family.

All Dangote craves is to wear the title ‘richest man in Africa’ in the poorest country in the world, what paradox.

Kwame Nkurumah said “ let us all remember that nothing can be done unless it has the purport and support of God.

We have won the battle and again rededicate ourselves … OUR INDEPENDENCE IS MEANINGLESS UNLESS IT IS LINKED UP WITH THE TOTAL LIBERATION OF AFRICA.”

I dare say the same of Mr Dangote’s empire, it has not liberated (save his refinery) Nigeria/nigerians since inception, its imperialist and not an inspiration to Nigerians.

Again, it’s my opinion.

Are you listening to yourself but just incase you are naive about business environment

every business man is bound to be selfish, cos you owe it to your business to lookout for survival, and the motive of business is profit maximization

i dont know your own definition of "patriotic" but a man who singlehanded risk $25billion in a sector 90% investors dodged like a bullet, haba! Dangote could have built his refinery in malta and join in the Nnpc exploitation of Nigerians. people wey patriotic they pay tax reach Dangote

Dangote is at liberty just like anyone to aspire to be world richiest as long as he is legitimately working .. you tew aspire your own

Dangote buys Nigeria crude same amount as outsiders and despite the burden of high overhead cost in Nig still manages to sell below Your owned Nnpc, and he is the imperialist 😆🤣


Bro change your dealer

“We cannot buy a product at N889, and over the night, the prices are dropped to N825, which is unfair.

Yes you can;
1, You’re not forced to sell below your cost price immediately,
2, if it was an increment your like will up the price instantaneously, so stop being deceptive,
3, it’s a wide margin of profit for you, 100 liters at 88,900, will become 82,500 on your next purchase, a whopping 6,400/100L stashed away or reinvested. What is the actual issue?
I do not support the Dangote industry for personally reasons, but his venture into the oil and gas sector should in theory have turned the country’s economy around for the better. I still hold that the true cost of PMS lies at circa 500 NGN. Marketers and NNPC fight vehemently to resist any downward trend in prices and this is seconded by the presidency.
I believe at this point the sector needs to be regulated. Deregulation was a farce, and now unionism is crippling productivity. We have refineries, we don’t need so many players in the field, they should divest.

@FG, build freggin railways connecting the major cities in Nigeria. Even if not for commuting of passengers but for rapid dispatch of goods and services. It’s too basic to be delayed.

if you dont support dangote existence then your write up is pointless and needless

i dont see any logic behind not supporting Dangote the only one that as brought accountability and cost reflective price into oil sector

Have you see Dangote net tax to the govt 2024, the ones you love and adore are they contributing to the growth of Nig. more than dangote

make una go sit down jare

israelmao:
It's rather you that is high on weed.Go to Southern Kaduna today talk about El-Rufai and listen carefully to their responses.

the world doesnt revolve around southern kaduna, they are entitle to their grudges or whatever thats entirely their business

Even Tinubu that has held lagos for 26yrs, there are wards he loses periodically

in other words no be everybody go like you, quit the lame arguement

[quote author=israelmao post=134485948][/quote]mumu, so el rufai rigged the election and pdp won the state .. it is tew early to be high on cheap weed

ALISMILE:
My thoughts exactly

Now people will see that Elrufai was so grossly overrated

are we not already seeing Tinubu is grossly overrated,
people did not elect el rufai and he currently holds no public office, he is not Nigerians concern naa the dead brain Tinubu be Nig problem
he cant seems to get anything right not even a walking step

israelmao:
Reno is a paid merchant no doubt but El-Rufai's defection has changed anything because the legacy of ethnic and religious politics he left in Kaduna State cannot be forgotten.His open hatred, oppression and discrimination against Southern Kaduna are forever engraved in the minds of most Southern Kaduna people.

if the southern kaduna were as relevant as you feel, el rufai no suppose get 2nd term in office. or was the election behind their back

check the 2023 votes again between PDP and APC, was the difference southern kaduna

Lumig:
"Butcher of Kaduna" where did this come from?
El Rufai is surely overrating himself and his influence... When the time comes he'll know that his influence is not beyond his immediate family

Is really El rufai overrating himself is just being him, incase you were born yesterday El rufai his one of the founding fathers that signed APC into inec register

whatever El rufai is doing now he was instrumental in 2015, 2019 and he was the arrow head that challenge to Buhari to give way for Tinubu

throughout 2023 Apc campaign, Tinubu wont let el rufai rest and he is the only one Tinubu publicly begged to stay

El rufai is a political weight that why Apc dogs can ignore any of his moves

JASONjnr:
These days, I eat goat meat instead of cow meat....... Gets softer quicker and tasteful...

Ogunfe has a day glory, cow naa baba ... while ram is the goat of all time

As it stands in Nigeria politics today, earn block vote will favor Tinubu

Apc can only lose in a two party contested election, we suppose don learn from 2023 election

impeachmemt can be contested and reversed, if i am fubara i wont resign

In the olden days, those sleeping with people's wives hid it. But these days, it is an open subject.

richmond500:
Let me explain, though NNPC is not meeting the agreed quota but the naira-crude has helped in easing the pressure on the local currency.
If the N/C stops, the naira will face pressure thereby giving us low purchasing power

You are correct academic wise, But if you are conversant with the news report as shown more importation into the country despite Dangote productivity

1. it is wrong to opine the Naira crude swap as made a post- impact when the xchange rate still reflect values pre- naira crude kick off

2. Most recent report shows Nig. spend 930bn importing fuel how is that easing pressure on local currency,
3. overall our local production is being downsized for various challenges meaning we are still largely dependant on importation

If N/C was a genuine, Maybe it with have those impact as you wish, but the present value of naira 1540/$1 tells any economic enthusiast Naira is under pressure infact recent cbn intervention minimizes the effect.

We are not doing anything different, expect less from naira

i hear number 4 more, and they start describing


now i feel like crying

iwaeda:
That we are celebrating N860, so we will be back to over One thousand. We told them our refineries are not functional, they called us Mazi Emeka. Our sense will come back very soon.

crude for naira swap is not the factor behind recent Pms price drop, global oil price is the culprit here

Crude for naira swap does not negate int'l market price, Nnpc sells crude to dangote at naira equivalence of int'l barrel price,

Nnpc as never met Dangote needs, therefore dangote importing crude wont be a big challenge.
what can trigger a significant hike in Pms price is if int'l market price start going up again, maybe mazi emeka suite you

Antwan99:
I don't get you.

Because he is a Labour Party Senator he shouldn't be hold accountable for double standard?

If you affirm, then why? Ujjain

I'll really like to learn from you with this sir.

double standard, how

For someone who is a mod, your intellectual baggage is light. What does his political party has to do with the information?.

Dem say person scam, you say na labor party member.
You didn't even check to know if the news is true or not(so you can take it down for misinformation, rule 8 ). But you decided to play the party card. Big shame on you especially as a mod

You can go ahead and ban me now

And what does imasuen ban in new york got to do with senate unanimous decision

Majority of Obedient are supporting Natasha, i think its important they know the chairman they are about rubb in the mud is a member of there prestigeous party
