At a moment like this, we have to set aside our political interest for humanity. That's what makes us human.

QuinQQ:
You are sooo right!!
The number of deaths it would prevent eh!
But wait o. Pregnant while breastfeeding a six-month-old? Meaning it'd be a year between the children. Actually not unheard of

Six months is even long. I've heard of women who mistakenly took in after three weeks of putting to bed.

You cannot by any measure compare the monthly cost of running generators with uninterrupted electricity supply from the companies.

With regular and uninterrupted electricity, you do your business and easily pay your bills. It is affordable.

By the way, prepaid meters give you the advantage of controlling your usage.

That's the reason I stated earlier that the people who stand to benefit more are business people. For individuals, it may be hard due to high rates. Remember when band A customers were complaining in Lagos due to much billing. Yes, they were getting light constantly but the rates were too much. You may be shocked that 100k may not be enough for two weeks depending on the number of appliances.

Nigeria's power company officials actually prefer NOT to let Nigerians have prepaid meters installed, because that refusal to install prepaid meters opens the door to those officials VASTLY inflating and falsifying the readings of old, outdated and easily rigged power meters, for the purpose of deliberately bankrupting their users.

In some pats of Nigeria, that withholding of prepaid meters triggers cheated electricity consumers to either refuse to pay for fabricated and falsified bills, or to request that electricity power cables to their properties be disconnected so they can use generators or solar power installations instead of paying criminal gangs that operate power companies in Nigeria.

That refusal to pay inflated electricity bills is, however, EXACTLY what the power company crime syndicates are praying for BECAUSE they can then hire lawyers who will take their customers to court, EVEN IF those customers have been long disconnected from the national power grid.

Whenever the court rules against an electricity consumer who refuses to pay those extortionate rates concocted by the power company, the entire landed property including real estate holdings and corporate assets, can be SIEZED and SOLD for cash by the power company mafia. That legalized theft of private property by the power company mafia is the end game of their entire charade that starts with inflating power consumption meter readings, along with denial of electrical power and refusal to issue prepaid meters, that culminates with the court-approved seizure and sale of private or corporate property running into billions of naira nationwide.

The only way out of the trap set by those criminal gangs masquerading as power company officials, is the MANDATORY issuance of prepaid meters NATIONWIDE. The prepaid meters would put an abrupt and final end to the current criminal racket that starts with the crafty issuance of grossly falsified monthly bills for electrical power not consumed, leading up to the subsequent court-legitimized theft of landed property and assets by the power company mafia. This is why the power company gangs would rather DIE than allow people to acquire those treasured prepaid power consumption meters.

Well said.

Here's the irony. America is the number one oil producer and consumer in the World.

Cubana chief priest is so sha.meless.

That is the only way Aba can return to its glory days. A bottling company that invested over 10 million dollars was recently commissioned by Alex Otti in Aba few days ago. Without reliable electricity, there can be no industrialisation.

No be to relocate. Can you afford it? The reason light seems to be better in Aba is that they are being managed by a different company outside EEDC. I don't think their rates are the same with EEDC as I have a friend who stays in Aba.

For large companies, that will be good. Three a bottling company was commissioned by Gov. Otti in Aba. For such company, that's very important.

All this analysis na for people wey get money to consume golden morn on a daily basis.

Life is like a pendulum. Sometimes it swings one way, and at other times it swings the other way. While he was in power, Nasir El-Rufai stepped on a lot of innocent toes. Unfortunately, he is no longer in power.

A few weeks ago, the Head of Service where my wife works made it compulsory for all staff to undergo a health screening, which was fully sponsored by them. During the process, one of her colleagues discovered that she was pregnant, even though she was still breastfeeding her six month old baby.

What am I trying to say? Many people are living with underlying health conditions without even knowing it. Institutions should take the initiative to organise free health screenings, especially since many of them already have health departments. This would go a long way in saving lives.

The government should make prepaid meters compulsory for every household. This would encourage people to regulate their electricity usage more carefully. In the area where I recently relocated with my family, I initially thought residents in that area did not have power supply. Later, I realised that some of them deliberately switch off some of their appliances to reduce consumption because they are using prepaid meters. This shows that people are becoming conscious of how their energy use affects their expenses, which ultimately helps to reduce overall consumption in the area.

However, with estimated billing, the situation is different. People tend to leave inefficient bulbs and appliances on without concern. It also creates opportunities for electricity officials to cut corners by collecting bribes from consumers who should normally make payments directly to the electricity office.

Na wao for this country. It is well.

You now see why some government officials do not support ban on satchet alcoholic drinks . Job no dey, you won scatter the one wey dey give people job. In all sincerity, many of us are just surviving in this country, not living. Imagine a secondary or primary school teacher earning below 40k in this economy. Na di£ be that.

Afolue:
that isn’t a divine name. It has to be taken in vain. God said in his word, if I never proclaimed a thing, it will be shown openly as falsehood.

In Christian belief, the name Jesus Christ is sacred and divine because it refers to the Son of God. So it is not an “ordinary” or empty name. It is divine name.

PlayerMeji:
Is she allowed to shout Mohammed without having to say the long peace be unto him speech?

You and I know they can't try it. The liberty that comes with Christianity is the reason for the abuse.

If you check well, na money matter

chipet67:
Even if them cover with drone, you go still talk. No be you again?

Yes, na me your grandfather.

Jakumo:
But you also thanked God. Next time please thank Sango, the God of Thunder, when things go well

Do not take the Lord's name in vain" (Exodus 20:7). I'm concerned about how people abuse the name.

Jakumo:
But you also thanked God. Next time please thank Sango, the God of Thunder, when things go well

But I didn't mention 'Jesus'. Do not take the Lord's name in vain" (Exodus 20:7). That's my point.

asfrank:
It's a congress not a political party campaign. It means only delegates are allowed, know that the difference.

Whether congress or campaign, drone coverage would have brought out the beauty that event especially for those who were not present. That's my point.

I don't know why most ladies like shouting 'JES.US' when recording events. Can't they look for other alternative phrases as a replacement when trying to express suprise or shocking incidents.

As for the incidents, thank God that people had to stand up to protect themselves.

A drone coverage would've done justice to this report. The thing come dey like something wey dem organise for backyard.

We really need to fix our power sector. Without reliable electricity, it becomes very difficult to attract investors to Nigeria, except in areas that do not depend heavily on power, such as certain types of farming. Even then, modern agriculture still relies on machinery. If you listen to the interview with the CEO of Dangote’s refinery on Arise TV, you will better understand the level of frustration investors face when operating in Nigeria.

We also need to reduce corruption as much as possible by moving paperwork and approval processes online. Many of these corrupt practices happen through direct contact with officials in agencies and ministries. Digitising these processes will help limit that human interference and make the system more transparent.

Sowore - the opposition fighting his fellow opposition.

So why didn't he join ADC?

The guy behind that Twitter handle is an APC supporter. Everyone in that space knows him. Governor Otti has never claimed that all the roads in Aba or across Abia have been completed. Even during the crusade organised by Dunamis in Abia State, he clearly stated that there is still a lot of work to be done.

If previous administrations in Abia State had done what they were supposed to do over the past 24 years, we would not still be having conversations about this road today. People who genuinely care about Abia understand how unfortunate things have been and appreciate the ongoing efforts to fix these long-standing issues. No amount of propaganda will change their support for him.

You have not said anything meaningful.

What an irony. Coming from people who lost the leaders by the same people they mock. They should Bury their head with shame and look for a way to end this war.

Why is she on her phone? When spend time preparing wedding instead of marriage, this is the result.

If that's the case, let her start getting ready to welcome the three wise men.

Nigeria is blessed. Nigeria can feed the whole of West Africa and beyond , if we can mechanise the agricultural sector. Agriculture is goldmine if well harnessed.
