Oby Ezekwesili is damn correct about this...

I've noticed a significant reduction in my monthly cost of diesel to power my generator since October.

Also, since Christmas Day, we've consistently had between 20-22 hours of electricity. A neighbor said it was water level at the dams, and I responded that we are actually in the harmattan season, so, it could never have been about improved water level at the dams!

Fashola might be doing something right!

Power is so TRANSIENT! When Obasanjo was President (from 1999 to 2007), rich men and women groveled and competed to attend the annual Ibogun Olaogun Day (which held every December)!

It was a carnival-like event that consistently had rich people like Dangote, Otedola, Tonye Cole, Jim Ovia, Cecilia Ibru, Erastus Akingbola, etc in attendance with huge donations! The story changed dramatically in 2007 when Yar'Adua succeeded Obasanjo! None of these attended the event that year!

Now, in December 2017, Ogun state Governor, Amosun is the ONLY big man who attended the event!

Politicians and political appointees should learn! You will lose that 'godfather' influence one day! And also, they should learn that people flock around them ONLY for what they might gain!

Yesterday, rich men, including Dangote, donated over N300 million at Yakubu Dogara's 50th birthday event in Abuja. Wait till Dogara ends his term as Speaker (even if he'd be there for 8 years) and see whether (or not) Dangote would pick his calls, let alone attend his events!

They are ALL TRAITORS AND LOOTERS!

Amaechi betrayed Peter Odili. Wike betrayed Amaechi. And now Abe is betraying Amaechi.

These 3 guys had been friends (and fellow looters) a long time ago!

Do not fight their fight on their behalf. They know where they meet at NIGHT! LOL!

Pierohandsome:
Is power bank used only because of power failure? Power bank is a mobile charging Device, u may not have time to charge ur phone and want to go out , u carry ur power bank and charge along the way. What is wrong in that

Don't mind the fool who equated power bank for phones with power failure. We all carry one around...Does he expect the VP's phone to be permanently plugged in to a power source/socket in the Villa?

In London, with uninterrupted power supply, people carry power banks to keep their phones charged. Some fools will always post any daft stuff to attack government officials...

donneco:
That confirms it.
Nigeria is an islamist nation

You are so daft and dumb! So, England, France, Germany that voted the same way Nigeria voted are also "Islamist nations"?

The following countries (taken from the list 128 countries that voted the same way), that are predominantly non-Muslim, are also "Islamist nations"?

Albania, Andorra, Angola, Armenia, Austria, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Belize, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi,
Cape Verde, Cambodia, Chile, China, Comoros, Congo, Costa Rica, Cote d'Ivoire, Cuba, Cyprus, Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), Denmark, Dominica, Ecuador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Gabon, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Grenada, Guinea, Guyana, Iceland, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Laos, Liberia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Maldives, Malta, Mauritania, Mauritius, Monaco, Montenegro, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Portugal, Republic of Korea (South Korea), Russia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Senegal, Serbia, Seychelles, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Somalia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, United Kingdom, United Republic of Tanzania, Uruguay, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe!

You must be the most senseless human being on earth considering your comment...

Jones4190:
Atiku has always come third. In 1993 SDP's presidential convention in Jos, he came third behind Kingibe and Abiola. In 2007 presidential election, he again cane third with 2m+votes as against Buhari with 6m+votes and Yar'adua who had 24m+votes. Also, he was a distant third in the 2015 presidential nomination of APC where he queued behind Kwankwoso and Buhari. The third-man should be his second name in politics. Atiku does not have the followership that some ascribe to him. He is a lightweight

GOD BLESS YOU, JONES! The clowns propping up this Atiku clown only wanted to "chop" his money...

Clown! ATIKU, we know you; serial contestant and serial loser too! LOL!

If you like eat rice (without meat) together with agberos in Ojuelegba, or drink fura de nunu together with almajiri in Dutse, nothing has changed about you!

Should PDP make the grave error of fielding you as candidate in 2019, that's sure 90% of general election votes for Buhari!

kkko:
From the list of the founders, I can't even recognize any name. I smell APC handwork. Continue. Remember, PDP is a registered organization so you're using their company name without certificate? Hmmmm no wonder a president is using nepa built as certificate too. BMC on the move

Really? Two of the five founders contested during the PDP convention. In fact, Prince Nwosu was a member of the PDP Convention Planning Committee! He is well known in PDP o...

Write only what you know.

These are the 5 leaders of the "Fresh PDP" that had the press conference:

1. Prince Obi NWOSU

2. Chief Olusola AKINDELE,

3. Chief Godwin DURU,

4. Alhaji Hassan ADAMU.

5. Franklyne EDEDE.

Two of them, Prince Obi NWOSU and Franklyne EDEDE, contested positions in the convention and lost (or rigged out via "Unity List" as they stated in the press conference)...

Federal character things, lol.

That party, PDP, is dead and nothing can resurrect it. They had better form another party (regarding 2019) in their own interest.

NWOSU is the leader of "Fresh PDP". Hmmm.

Vivos:
I rushed this thread, thinking he was going to say something concerning innoson's case

Are you so daft? You actually expected the President of a country to make an official statement on the arrest of a citizen for an issue resulting from the normal course of business? Really?

If the President should do that for every arrest made by ICPC, EFCC, Police, Civil Defence, Immigration, Customs, etc, what time would he have to govern?

Your stupidity is legion! LOL.

I just daft ethnic jingoists would make this issue a Yoruba vs Igbo thing; GTBank vs Igbo thing; APC vs PDP thing, etc!

A popular businessman had an issue with a major bank, GTBank Plc, how is that a Buhari thing? Must daft people always attribute everything to Buhari

Let the Innoson boss allow the EFCC do its job. People saying that it was all about civil proceeding and EFCC should not do its job, do you even know the meaning of EFCC- Economic & Financial Crimes Commission? Did you know that the issue is regarding forged investment/financial documents allegedly presented by Innoson? So, how could EFCC not be allowed to do its work?

Nigeria is such a country full of hypocrites! It's only here that a simple case of 'answer a summon by a public agency' is turned to an ethnic, religious, or political issue!

And to the daftie who wondered why Dangote had not been invited by EFCC, please if you have anything about Dangote, submit it (them) to the EFCC and stop acting like an uneducated fool in public!

I respect Innoson a lot for his business acumen, focus, doggedness in a tough operating environment, and entrepreneurial spirit; but on this, I support EFCC! He should not have blocked EFCC's work with thugs...

SEE BELOW:
He was picked up at about 11am at his Savage Crescent , GRA Enugu residence today Tuesday December 19, 2017.

His arrest followed his refusal to honour invitation by the Commission having earlier jumped an administrative bail granted him in a case being investigated by the Capital Market and Insurance Fraud Unit of the Commission’s Lagos office.

Chukwuma rather than honoring invitation by the EFCC, mobilized six truck loads of thugs pretending to be staff of his company to his residence, where they manhandled EFCC operatives.

It took reinforcement from the Enugu office of the EFCC to effect the arrest of the industrialist wjo is currently being grilled by a team of investigators.

Daft youths! You continue to kill one another 'on behalf' of two Ikwere sons (Amaechi and Wike) who could probably share Red Label and other drinks somewhere tonite, and who could return in the same party in a few years!

When Wike was Amaechi's Campaign Manager, became Amaechi's Chief of Staff, and got nominated as Minister of State for Education, by the same Amaechi, were these foolish youths there?

I just pity the youths of Nigeria! Continue to allow yourselves to be foolishly used as pawns in the chessboard of already over-fed politicians across ALL parties!

raker300:
Buhari did worst than IBB yet the same SR praise him on a daily.

I hate hypocrites

SR praises Buhari? You must be sipping adulterated rum! Nincompoop.

Get an education; check SR website and you would see loads of stories criticizing Buhari.

A novel idea introduced by Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as Governor of Lagos State (one-day Governor scheme to encourage elementary education via the Spelling Bee Competition) has endured.

This was the same way Tinubu (as Lagos State Governor) introduced several specialized agencies such as those for traffic control, waste management, road/street cleaning, revenue generation (IGR), land administration fees, etc, etc that have subsequently been copied (and are still being copied) by several state governments years after Tinubu left government.

Talk of legacy...

And online fools (so-called Nigerian youths) would still continue to insult and curse one another on the various online platforms while politicians from different parties go on jolly rides everywhere, celebrating their current (and future) loot of the treasury!

These guys meet privately and publicly and exploit areas of common (say, selfish) interest, but the average Nigerian, who continues to be serially raped by politicians and their parties, go about collecting N1,000 for meaningless protests!

God save our country, and help its less discerning people!

AdolfHitlerxXx:
There was nowhere worthy in 36 states for the premiere of a Nigerian film.

No African country out of 54 choices (2 disputed) was good enough for the premiere.

YET, Blacks go all the way to Arabs who are far more racist than even Whites.

The VP's wife is here shamelessly endorsing this foolishness.

I have nothing against Osinbajo otherwise, but this has no iota of sense

You are the FOOL here! This particular movie premiere held in LAGOS (not in any Arabian country) and it had been on several media platforms for a few days.

Also, the Arabian-themed dress code was based on SPONSORSHIP of the movie by DUBAI TOURISM AGENCY!

It is better to hide your stupidity, rather than expose it in such a brazen manner on a public platform. Next time, use your good old Google before posting thrash based on an admixture of hate and ignorance!

honourhim:
Lying wonders of the Yoruba media

Ignorance is NOT bliss; it is stupidity and you've just demonstrated that!

Vanguard newspaper is owned by persons from Delta state and it reflects that background very conspicuously in its reporting! So, how does Vanguard belong to your so-called "Yoruba media"?

NwaChibuzor33:
Namadi Sambo was wey better than Osinbanjo. Do not quote me.

This is the most idiotic comment I've read on Nairaland in the past three months!

Namadi Sambo? The same Sambo that was adjudged as the most irrelevant Vice President since the creation of Nigeria?

You must be a nincompoop. A dimwit. LOL.

Hmmm, Toyota Landcruiser SUV in these hard times!

That is a minimum of N38m each! N38million multiplied by 16! And Nyesom Wike of Rivers State had to gift these expensive SUVs to National Assembly members who already have official SUVs, utility vehicles for Committee duties, etc, etc! With the masses suffering and committing suicide!

Why are our so-called leaders (across ALL political parties) this wicked

ASUU IS NOT ON STRIKE! What sort of daft headline is this? How is ASUU same as NASU and other non-academic unions

Moderator, change the headline; you are misleading your readers! ASUU IS NOT ON STRIKE!!!

The thieving clown, Atiku, has finally announced a thing we all knew long ago, lol.

Nigeria will never be ruled by an irredeemably corrupt, desperate, 'everything-goes' serial contestant, fugitive from US laws, etc by the special grace of God!

If the guy attains the Presidency (God forbid), Goodluck Jonathan would assume immediate sainthood! The guy, Atiku, is the Field Marshal of corruption; Jonathan's experience would have become child's play when Atiku finishes with us (God forbid again). Ask Obasanjo! Lol.

Duru009:
Election strategy!!

Don't mind him! lol.

The clown called Atiku! Serial contestant and 'decampee'!

He wouldn't stop messing himself up.

No matter the number of tweets he sends or re-sends, if God says he won't win the Presidency, he won't. It's not by tweets, lol.

This is standard practice anywhere in the world; so, why the unnecessary hoopla and insults from ignorant people here!

For Godsake, the advert cost of N1.5billion is an insignificant ratio of the targeted revenue, just 0.43%! Less than 0.5%!

We can criticize, but we should not criticize in a daft manner, without any basis...

1. Christmas originated as a pagan festival.

2. The First Lady wanted to return Christmas to its 'old roots'.

3. the First Lady wanted to return it to the roots of the 'Old Gods'!

These were the exact words of the First Lady of the US; not fabricated, not conjured from anywhere.

This is exactly what both the Deeper Life Church and Jehovah Witnesses have been saying for ages- that Christmas is idolatry and hence, they do not recognize or celebrate it.

No attack dogs here. No insults on religion, religious people, and religiousity here. Just stating facts!

That's Akwa-Ibom Governor, Udom Emmanuel (of PDP) with Governor Abubakar of Bauchi state (of APC) and Tinubu and President Buhari in the presidential jet. Healthy politics!

God bless Nigeria!

emeijeh:
This young Oba should know that his father got respect from other monarchs and the world, by staying in the ancient city of Benin almost throughout his life time.

Maximum Respect to Omo n'oba n'edo uku akpolokpolor, Erediauwa II

Emeijeh, you were a bit unkind to Oba Ewuare...Even his father, Omo N'oba N'edo Uku Akpolokpolor, Erediauwa II who you mentioned, visited Oba Adesoji Aderemi, late Ooni of Ife, in his Ile-Ife palace. He also visited other monarchs.

Again, Oba Ewuare has only left Edo state once- his visit to the President at the Villa and Sultan of Sokoto? Or did you expect him not to visit his peer kings who attended his colourful coronation? It may even be difficult for an Oba in 2017 (Oba Ewuare) to have the same nuances as an Oba (Erediauwa) installed in 1979...

I do not think that there is anything wrong with the visit, Emeijeh.

senatorkingsley:
All of you talking trash against Atiku should shut up and stop talking nonsense, why didn't you people call him a political prostitute when he defected from PDP to the ruling APC. Atiku is the man to beat come 2019.

You are damn unintelligent! Nincompoop!

Atiku has always been the alternative definition of CORRUPTION! For your information, when he defected from PDP to APC in 2014, I still addressed him with his name "MR. CORRUPTION"! I don't care about political parties- if he likes he should join Labour Party or APGA, LOL.

The constant truth is that ATIKU IS THE SECOND DEFINITION FOR CORRUPTION! Go ask US authorities, go ask Nigerian Customs, go ask, go ask...

Voting Atiku is a sure way to returning to the era of "Let's Loot Everything", "Let's Share The Money", "Chop I Chop", etc. God forbid that misfortune for Nigeria. Not again!

Obasanjo will must chuckling at this fake, insincere press statement from Atiku. Barawo Banza! Ole Oshi!

The irredeemably corrupt ex- Customs officer has just done what he knows how to do best- defect! From PDP to ACN, back to PDP, to APC, and back to "guess where"!

This deceptive clown, Atiku, talking about the youth is over 70 years old already!

He is completely corrupt and no amount of crafty press statements and conversion to being a latter-day supporter of restructuring can obliterate his corruption-infected DNA!

He should go to PDP where he would be completely messed up again, as they did to him in the past! This time, at over 70, he would be retired from politics in 2019!

How dumb could some people be on this platform? NAHCO is a Plc for Godsake; it is NOT a Federal Government parastatal or agency!!! It has a private Board of Directors! So, what has Buhari got to do with this appointment, dunderheads?

And what stops someone who was an ED in a bank from being CEO of NAHCO Plc?

We could criticize, but people should use their brains! Getting fixated about insulting Buhari regarding everything under the sun is a character of nincompoops!

Isokowadoo:
Wondered why Aisha Neva did this to buhari she MST av been a patient Woman.

Between , Northern ladies Abuse Drugs as Much as deir Male counterparts.

Isokowadoo, oh! It's the same way your brainless mum missed stabbing and killing your low-life dad so that his miserably abject, God-forsaken life could have violently ended in the hands of your dregs-of-the-earth mum! Despicable, untrained, non-trainable, nincompoop! Anoooofia!
