Blaming Nollywood for ritual killing is funny. Instead of finding a solution, they are looking for whom to blame.

They lack foresight. Even if Nollywood stops showing money rituals, it will not change anything rather new dimensions will be introduced

Although am not a IBEDC staff but i worked wt AEDC(Abuja) n BEDC(Benin) some years back on debt recovery and metering(both installation n maintenance). Permit me to use AEDC as a case study!
Band A customers have/xpected to have @least 20hrs of supply in a day @#58/unit
Band B customers have/xpected to have @least 16hrs of supply in a day @#50/unit
Band C customers have/xpected to have @least 12hrs os supply in a day @#40/unit
Band D customers have less than 12 hours of supply in a day @#36/unit.
They are not d same though but am sure u can arrive at something when next u visit. U can find out ur own band n take it up from there. Band A n B customers are sometimes preferred especially if u re on PPM because ur money ll b talking(as in pay as u go).
Thanks bro

Thank you. I have a question to ask, do you compensate customers for power cut( in case of lighting and thunder and faults)?

seunlayi:
they don't. And how would they when they've started sharing February bill

I need some clarification from disco staffs, according to NERC, there are four bands. Band A, B, C and D. Band D enjoys 8 hrs of power supply ( that is if they comply), should there be interruption for three days, do you compensate for the loss or you continue with the load shedding? Second, do you compensate for power loss when there is power cut as a result of lighting?

PVision2020:
Nigerians are just allergic to paying bills and taxes.
Imagine someone complaining of a monthly bill of 4k, that's roughly #130 naira per day, that's not up to the price of a bottle of Coke nor a litre of PMS.

Funny enough a face me and face you with 10 occupants and shops will still complain about a 4k monthly bill

Are they allergic to buy airtime and data from mobile service providers?. Why are the discos allergic to distribution of metres?

countryman13:
I understand ur ordeal bro. ur meter na d thing wey spoil show for u. Some of ds Discos dont even want customers to have meter since dt ll bring transparency n accuracy. And ur band(A,B,C or D) is also a determining factor as per d number of hours u re suppose to have light in a day.

Can you please explain the hours allocated to those bands?
Any BEDC staff can you please throw more light

Kingpele:
It is finished, a PDP governor, u see we should look for new party with a good ideological template to take over the reigns of leadership of this Country right from the cradle of leadership position, pdp and APC have failed us

The problem is not the party but the personality

Odobaone:
This show will keep us closer to our screen and educate us more than the Bloody aimless #BBNaija.

Unfortunately it will die natural death.

suffering:
The show finished and Nairalanders continued with life. No one cared to give it a deserving close. This is how BBNaija, despite the many complaints, has completely overtaken many formerly loved and followed competitions. Shows which include;

1. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
2. Ultimate Love.
3. Project Fame.
4. Maltina Dance All.
5. Gulder Ultimate Search.
6. Idols West Africa.
7. The Voice.
8. Glo Naija Sings.
9. Naija’s Got Talent.
10. Lion's Den.

Nairalanders as usual will protest and type epistles about how the shows are as popular now as they were back in the day. For some reason they disregard that front page statistics continuously prove my observation accurate.

They are hypocrite

Michelle70:
Good.
It will take long but we have started getting things right, both state Govt and FG are into mega projects.
At least 40% of governors has started working unlike before where its just looting and more looting.
While the best governors are those that only loot in their second tenure

And you think they are not still looting with their padded budget

badman007:
Not sure what channels you referring to. Honestly there’s no basis for comparing since IPTV has wide range of channels including DSTV sports and More for just £50 For 1 Year subscription is a bargain.

Not everyone is crazy over sports. This is one of the reasons hitv crashed

osuofia2:

Before i read this news, i know it must be from one of those Pentecostal churches which their members calls them daddy etc.
The funny thing is that those so called men of God, have no basic knowledge of philosophy .
Shameful, just because you can read the bible doesn't give you the right to interpret it in your way as you like.
Islam does not give room for all this kind of thing. Kudos to the Catholic faith

The scripture is different from philosophy. This pastor is only fulfilling bible prophecy. Sound bible scholar will understand this wierd preacher.

badman007:
NYSC and DSB/IPTV licence no make sense.

I get the plug for Iptv anyway. All you need is WiFi and a smart tv or amazon fire stick and £50 1 Year subscription.

For your Live sports ALL UK channels/Netflix/Amazon movies and so much more
Say no to DSTV subscription

Their stations cannot match some of the stations aired on DStv

gaftsoil:
In my church in anambra, we use even hausa and akwa ibom abi ibibio to sing . The priest is bittered by d progress of d igbos. He tribalistic. When i served in Gusau,zamfara state, they use igbo to sing because some songs sounds sweeter when sang with igbo

Your church however the bone of contention is that parish. No song sound nice in a particular tribe, every song is unique in its own way. A song could carry the same sound and meaning but different language.

Nothing special

Cubalabloo:
Don't know why tribalism has eaten deep into the fabrics of 9jarians. What a disgrace to priesthood.

But the priest is right. You can't hide the fact that the issue raised by him is serious. He may be suspended however it doesn't change anything. It gives room for other Catholics who are not Igbos to nurse a grudge against the church. In some cases it might lead to division

juman:
He might be saying the truth.
Their leadership should look into what he claimed.

But Catholic in Nigeria are mainly igbo.

Better still it should be called Igbo Catholic church since they are majority there

angelfallz:
This is unfortunate.
Catholics are shooting themselves in the foot.
Things are changing, more and more young people are turning away from God and the church, yet all this priest can think about is that Igbo songs are dominating his parish. Smh.

There have been complains from other members. Restricting songs to one tribe is not healthy at all. Such parish got to mix songs that other speakers would flow. Can't you see the present gospel songs having a mixture of Igbo, Yoruba, English and pidgin?.

Amojii:
What you said is correct but what if the other ethnics are not up to 10℅
Separate mass for them will be boring and frustrating

Let's call a spade a spade Igbo's dominants catholic church in Nigeria even in the North yoruba's have long moved to mega churches own by their Yoruba pastors

That why Igbo's do not have mega churches, well maybe only chosen

The only thing there is to learn the language and enjoy the other side of thing for ones it will not kill you.

Invariably you imply that other Catholics who are from the minority tribes should stop attending Catholic church dominated by Igbos?. It therefore means the unity preached in churches was fake then

gaftsoil:
They use igbo songs in catholic churches in over seas . E come be ordinary lagos. That priest is anti christ

That is priest is right. You sing songs not understood by all in a church? .

Thorondor:
So an Edo man who happens to be a parish priest in Lagos where he’s an inconsequential minority is not dominating the Yoruba and Igbo folk down there.
Why is he no taking care of a parish in his home state of village?
Is common sense not common to you?

That priest didn't handle it well however it doesn't change the fact that most Igbos are dominary. They rarely consider the minorities in whatever they do. I traveled to one of the South Western States, I noticed that they have Igbo Catholic and Anglican church. So why should that happen in the first place if not for such attitude?

mapet:
I agree with you. The Revd. Father being young and impulsive could have gone about it the wrong way. I see that many at times churches are using platforms which ordinarily should have served to unite the body of Christ to divide itself. I was driving along LASU-Iba road one day and I saw a sign-board "XXY IGBO-Anglican Church" I was like for Christ's sakes what is the meaning of this? If we go by the mantra Christ above all, then we will be guided

I saw something similar when I visited Ado Ekiti.

Aidejay:
Firstly I will have to fault that priest.

he didn't act in wisdom. This is something he should have asked the holy spirit to help him navigate. Not to come on the altar and start ranting.

But this is not an igbo thing, it happens in many churches.

Something similar happened in a church I attended that was made up of many Yorubas, Yoruba songs dominated but the pastor a yoruba man changed it. Now songs from other languages are being sang.

Even songs from minority tribes,
and everybody sings along and enjoys the service.

This is why I like Yorubas very accommodating people, accommodate other tribes and their cultures and sounds.

I like a diverse church but you can achieve it without coming off as an undiplomatic person.

except if he has tried previously to introduce a little mix into the church singing and the igbos refused, that doesn't justify this his overreaction.

NOW THE CHURCH IS DIVIDED.

I agree with you. That priest didn't apply wisdom however I suspect he must have cautioned the choir

Osagyefo98:
I don't know why an average Edo state man has so much hatred for Igbos. They go about on Facebook and Twitter creating all forms of attacks on Igbos.

Even a priest has transferred same to a church in Lagos. You just dey hate people wey no send una...I tire oohhh





Meanwhile, my attendant In foreign churches is solely based on Sunday issues.


I can't be holier than the Archbishop.

They don't hate Igbos rather they are not comfortable with the dominary force most Igbos exhibit. Imagine a Catholic church in Benin city been headed by an Igbo man whereas this is not feasible in the east if an Edo man was to head. Cut some slack and see the handwriting on the wall. More reason why the Anglican church is different in this regard

Yomboy4ever:
Pls oooo everybody is magodo not part of Nigeria or using egbin light cos they are still having 24hrs uninterrupted light , meanwhile it's close to 8days now for mile 12 na black out .

They are using grade A line, if you know you know

yakrim:
Power outage from Egbin power plant led IKEDC & Eko to supply close to zero kWh to Lagosians for a few days, that's why people besieged the fuel stations to keep their generators running.

What a way to lie. Indeed Lia Mohamed wept

My position as well. It seems many people do not even know the rudiments of business transaction. A customer can change his mind if the business has not been consumated. If he had paid the money to her account and requests to cancel the deal, have people imagined the turn-around of the story?

When I do business online, I make sure I tidy my end very well else I don't deal. I was trying to order a product advertised on twitter this morning. I asked the lady where is the pick-up point? She responded that she doesn't do pick-up. I clarified that I meant where is her store so that I come and buy in person? She said she has only warehouse not store. I told her that ok if she was to do delivery to my house (gave her my location) how much. She said #1,500. I said fine, my proposal is "Cash on delivery". She closed the conversation and said no deal. I also courtesied and bid her bye-bye.... no stories that touch for me.

People should tidy up arrangement very well before making committals and not these emotional cries

Exactly!

Mariangeles:
Nigerians are their own problem.

When you order goods outside Nigeria, you have to pay for everything -goods, shipping from seller to logistics company, shipping and customs fee from there to Nigeria- before your goods are delivered to you.

In this case it is different. Her service is pay on delivery. She was not wise enough to charge him before delivery knowing fully well how some Nigerians behave

TheGreatIYANU:
Lol... victim here!

Sociology is officially the most useless course on Earth! I advice my students to rewrite JAMB the next year if they are offered courses like Sociology, Philosophy, etc with no chance to cross to a more meaningful course in 200l.

Nigeria, it relevant in other countries
