Governor's TikTok supporters using the pants as symbolism to mock Kwankwaso labelling him "Tsula's pant".

Governor's TikTok supporters are they APC supporters or ADC supporters?

Truthkisser, so you APC guys have stooped so low to begin using pants for campaign to mock Kwankwaso and in extension ADC?
Am I correct?

TimeManager:
You created the thread YET you couldn't understand the thread you created. The image on the pant was a photoshopped image of the Governor. It was the opposition who did that to create fake news of the Governor distributing pants to Kano women.
Meanwhile The original picture was that of the Governor's TikTok supporters using the pants as symbolism to mock Kwankwaso labelling him "Tsula's pant".

-Kiss the truth!

Abeg no vex ooo.
I know you are leading Newcastle, I no wan hearsay na me distract u.
If Incase una refuse to chop draw soup today, the real draw soup na Fulham go cook am next week after una trip from Wanda Metropolitano.

oga free me and let me be. Don't let me vex oooo

I agree with you but what I have not understood is where the 25000MW will come from.
I don't play with words
Can the generation companies produce 25000MW?
What is their production capacity in MW as of today?
Where will 25000MW come from? because it's not in the Siemens deal to generate even 1MW.

This is my question.
Upgrade, transport, distribute, transmit are not my problem, Siemens will handle that.
But how will the Siemens deal not be stalled or slow when there is not enough MW generated to be transported, distributed or transmitted?
Don't you think it's putting the cart before the horse?

I personally believe Siemens should be allowed to generate its own electricity, transmit and distribute alongside the upgradation of our transmission and distribution grid.
This Siemens deal, the way it is structured will have them relying on power generation companies.

I say this because this same Siemens was involved in the 16 billion USD OBJ National Integrated Power Project (NIPP) deals to build transmission lines.
Nigerians have very short memories.

Here are the list of companies involved in that project with nothing to show for it today including Siemens.

sonofthunder:
Siemens main duty is to upgrade our transmission and distribution capabilities..... And yes to that 25,000mw.

But problem is more than that.

Even though our transmission capacities are very poor compared to the already poor generation capacity, the distribution arm of electric power has been reported to be in the business of rejecting power from generation companies.

Na today??
The equipment requirements to be an Arsenal supporter, na to get oxygen mask and pacemaker.
But the most important requirement of all, na to get hypotension so Arsenal go dey help you increase your blood pressure.
Hypertensive person no dey support Arsenal oo, if u think say I dey lie, ask press9jatv dominique Ambivert77

Lamasta:
let's do it one step at a time so that they will not suffocate at London


Newcastle knows what is at stake for them as they won't lose the game today

Na our 3rd trophy ooo.
This season na domestic treble.
After 200 days on top, If Arsenal go top today, they themselves know they are just placeholders as we will have a game in hand.
E even dey like Newcastle go carry loi-loi and draw soup enter Emirates today.

Lamasta:
We are going for our second trophy

God bless MANCHESTER CITY

I am not Aminda but here is the alternative.
Let Nigeria leave OPEC like Angola and pump as much oil as we want without any restrictions/quota and sell even at a discounted price to meet the needs of 270 million people and stop all this borrow borrow and IMF/ADB/Eximbank entanglements as na rat race.
We can't be in OPEC and be living on oil pumping restrictions/quota and think we can progress as we don't have the same developmental requirements of Saudi or UAE which are more developed than us and can survive on quota/restrictions.

Do you know why USA - the biggest oil producer, Canada and Qatar are not members of OPEC?

ibedun:
What do you produce in Nigeria? Nothing! Which means you have to import things you need. You need dollars to trade internationally. Dollar is not our currency.
You sell oil but the revenue is too small for 270 million people who don’t and can’t produce anything! The tax they pay is too small. The other government revenue is too small.

AMINDA, what do you want the government to do? Tell us the alternative (better idea). We are waiting…….,,,,,

Context matters.
It's either they are borrowing to meet Poverty infrastructure or stomach infrastructure, e no fit pass these two types of infrastructure walahi...

Person wey no dey pay subsidy dey borrow pass person wey dey pay subsidy? How
The same infrastructure wey Dem never yet release the money they borrowed for the capital projects for 2025 budget oo, I mean 2025....
If APC serve you buffet with propaganda eh, na 5 star review sane Nigerians suppose give them.
I bow to APC, the P stands for propaganda

richiemcgold:
Bwala says they are borrowing to invest in the most important areas of our economy with infrastructure being the most crucial of them. That's a lie! Any infrastructure that does not improve the economy and electricity is a useless and misplaced infrastructure. Coastal roads, for instance, is not as important to average Nigerians and MSEs as electricity.

As of today, both the economy and electricity have gone from bad to worse. Poverty has increased at a very alarming rate. So what's the crucial infrastructure they're talking about? 🤥

But there is no power generation in this deal, just upgrade, transmission and distribution in all the phases of the project.

Can you tell me where the 25,000 MW will be generated from?

With zero production, what will you transmit and distribute?

sonofthunder:
The “Nigeria–Siemens deal” (officially called the Presidential Power Initiative, PPI) didn’t disappear—but it has had a rocky, stop-and-start journey.
Here’s the real situation, stripped of politics and hype:

🔌 What the Siemens deal was supposed to do


A ~$2.3 billion partnership between Nigeria and Germany (via Siemens)


Goal: fix transmission + distribution and ramp power to:


7,000 MW → 11,000 MW → 25,000 MW




Focus: upgrade substations, transformers, and grid infrastructure—not just generation



🚫 What went wrong (why people think it “failed”)
1. It basically stalled for years


After initial signing under Buhari, the project lost momentum


Key driver (Chief of Staff Abba Kyari) died


COVID-19 disruptions + bureaucracy slowed everything


Result: the deal became “largely dormant” for a long time



2. Targets were missed badly


Nigeria was supposed to hit 7,000 MW by 2021


But even by 2025:


Generation still ~4,000–5,000 MW


Transmission/distribution even lower




So on paper, the plan failed its original timeline



3. Structural problems in Nigeria’s power sector
Even beyond Siemens, the system itself is weak:


Poor transmission infrastructure


Weak distribution companies (DisCos)


Gas supply issues


Grid instability and frequent collapses


👉 In short: you can’t fix electricity with one contract if the whole value chain is broken.

🔄 What’s happening now (2024–2026 update)
The deal has been revived—not cancelled


The current administration restarted it and signed accelerated agreements


Germany confirmed it’s now back on track


Work is ongoing (Phase 1)


Focus: grid upgrades, substations, transformers


Expected impact:


+7,000 MW capacity improvement (mainly transmission)




Some equipment already delivered (mobile substations, transformers)



⚖️ So what’s the honest verdict?


❌ It did not deliver what was promised on time


❌ It was effectively stalled for years


✅ It is not dead—just delayed and restructured


⚠️ Success now depends on execution, not announcements



🧠 Bottom line
The Siemens deal didn’t “disappear”—it underperformed, stalled, and is now being restarted in phases.
If it works this time, you’ll see:


stronger grid (less collapse)


gradual increase in stable supply


If it fails again, it’ll be for the same reason as before:
👉 Nigeria’s electricity problems go beyond one project.

Tinubu Band A never yet get electricity, na electric vehicle dey your mind.
Dey like you dey use Yokozuna size, sow your cloth.

GanagiBitrus:
Africa always lagging behind in matters of technological development.

Electric Vehicles is the trend in developed climes, but it will take another 20yrs for same to happen in Africa.

My order of preference for ADC ticket as follows:

Atiku-Kwankwaso to match APC Mumu ticket
With Obi as campaign manager for this ticket, Southern votes are assured.

Atiku-Obi This one na APC worst nightmare because any INEC glitch, baboons and dogs will surely be soaked in blood.

You are currently in the wrong profession.

angelboy01:
Epstein file wey be propaganda, even the Jeffery is still alive. Something wey you no know, wey you no see even see una go just carry am for head. Even Trump himself said the Epstein should be investigated but what has come out of it. Epstein, Epstein like say if dem call you to provide evidence you will have one that the propaganda you see online and on X. Thank God for Grok that has debunked every of those lies.

I disagree, the poisoning is deliberate and should be highly encouraged.
Since Bobo Chicago is playing hopscotch with human lives with his A1 for 2027 elections, everyone can as well play chess with the lives of 1st class citizens.

Dem suppose enter person farm to graze?
Hope u know wetin go happen when them meet you for your farm with your cutlass vs their AK?

Inorder to avoid stories like " there is no electricity in the airport, I'll be leaving in 600 seconds", poison your crops, when 1st class citizens chop and die, MACBAN go inform their members for their Whatsapp group chat as they are doing now say so so and so village, no pass there ooo.
FAFO

tesseract:
I do not think the poisoning is deliberate. This is because if a cow goes into someone's farm to graze and the farm has been fumigated against pests and other diseases, the cows can be victims. Herdsmen must therefore prevent their cows from eating from people's farms in order to avoid eating poison from fumigation.

My optician is a first class graduate from Chicago who created Lagos and is the Messiah of Ebin pawa oo. Ring a bell?

budaatum:
So, you smelt him in the video?

Send me to the optician that made you see smelt. I want that sort of glasses too.

You don watch the video?
See your brother now, does he not look unkempt? Is he shaven? are his clothes clean? Are his feet clean?
Or do you also need eyeglass to see this too?
Also, he went to 2 different transport companies and the same thing happened, this means he is a body odor dispenser cuz both bus passengers no sabi your brother from Adam.
It can't be a coincidence.

budaatum:
Show me where you got your "brush and bathe, unkempt" from, and you might change my mind.

You don watch the video?
See your brother now, does he not look unkempt? Is he shaven? are his clothes clean? Are his feet clean?
Or do you also need eyeglass to see this too?
Also, he went to 2 different transport companies and the same thing happened, this means he is a body odor dispenser cuz both bus passengers no sabi your brother from Adam.
It can't be a coincidence.

Shebi, the bandit posted this from his Facebook account?
You can contact him directly to join in the lawsuit.
Na that day you go read the bus 19 page company policy know say, brush and bathe, unkempt, exceptional circumstances dey there and you go knowsay they reserve the right to refund your money and deny you boarding if you represent a danger/nuisance to the other passengers.
According to you now, so mad man or early man go wan enter bus, make dem lock up, make im kill dem with body odor abi?

I knowsay na your upnorth brother, sorry ya , To avoid make this kind thing no repeat itself, try tell Dem to dey brush, Colgate no dey kill person, to shave no cost now, how much be Tiger razor blade? , but most of all remind your siblings say water no get enemy.

budaatum:
Entering bus is not democracy. You pay your fare and travel or walk!! And you do not need to lie that he "never brush and bathe, looking unkempt", and the fact you lie belittles your position.

I hope he sues the company for discriminating against him, since passengers should not be determining the companies policy.

Wetin the company do?
If the guy was rich enough to hire the full bus, im for don reach Calabar.
Na passengers say we are not traveling with this man, carry him and refund me and democracy is a game of numbers, majority wins the vote.
Who wan sacrifice im bottom line inside Tinubulation cuz of 1 person wey never brush and bathe, looking unkempt as if he just came out of the bush like bandits terrorists?

budaatum:
I hope he sues the company for ethnic discrimination!

Worthless abi?

Are you really trying to tell us that 20B did not go missing under GEJ?
After the Metuh/Dasuki/Oduah/Allison/ND amnesty and co?
Remind me, did Patience Jonathan not detain 15 members of her staff over her missing 700 million naira jewelry?
Did Patience Jonathan not embezzle 17 Billion naira?

Call Sanusi whatever you like, you can hate him because he is a Muslim but you can never buy his integrity.
Take away the Emirship from him and it changes nothing in him, he was already somebody before becoming the Emir.
It was who he was, that made Kano crown him as Emir, not the other way round.
That's why people always say GEJ was a weak person because instead of Jonathan to investigate the missing money, he was pressured by his cabinet to sack Sanusi.
Those same cabinet members I have listed some of their names above.
GEJ cabinet members were playing hopscotch all over him.

benardtotti:
Sanusi knows but wants to play to the gallery same way he did under gej and got fired when he claimed 20b dollars was missing.

Pls look left and right and left again b4 u cross road abeg.
Man City will win the league with 2 games remaining as Pep has zero points to share to Aston Villa or your Bournemouth, if you doubt it, ask Arteta.
The psychological sledgehammer and trauma that has been slammed on Arsenal will force them draw or lose their next 2 EPL fixtures, even to sleep tonight will be impossible for you, talk less of Arteta. Arsenal is a big joke .
We'll be expecting y'all @Turf Moor on Wednesday.

foleskay:
It's not over until it's over. City were not spectacular today. Their next game is Burnley on Wednesday, which I believe they will win, but there other tough matches like Aston villa and bornmouth for them to play away. Which will be difficult for them.

Arsenal have Fulham , westham, Newcastle to play which are winnable. Either with 1 point or goal difference, We wil win it. Man city will drop points

Liverpool loss or draw, Everton to win over 1.5

Chelsea to win for sure
