If not because Oyo people/politics is very unpredictable, this empty promises minister too would've been baring his teeth on becoming governor by now.
Ofunaofu: Where is the light? Nigerians knock Adelabu as two weeks’ promise on electricity fails
•Why N3.3trn won’t give you power supply — Experts
…Cite failed promises, disagreement over size of debt
Two weeks after Minister of Power, Mr Adebayo Adelabu, assured citizens of imminent relief from persistent outages, a cross-country check suggests that for many households and businesses, the reality has barely changed.
This came as recent announcement by President Bola Tinubu of the approval of N3.3 trillion for the settlement of outstanding debt in the nation’s power sector has been received with mixed feelings.
While some experts believe the statement in its entirety, others question its authenticity, describing it as a recurring narrative that has become a trend.
Adelabu had, on March 24, while addressing the media in Abuja, publicly apologised for the wave of blackouts that swept across the country, admitting that the situation had worsened living conditions at a time of intense heat.
He acknowledged the strain on homes, schools and industries, attributing the disruption largely to gas supply constraints and technical issues beyond the government’s immediate control.
“I want to apologise to Nigerians… for this temporary issue that is leading to hardship being experienced,” the Minister said, while promising that “two weeks from now, we should start seeing improvements in supply.”
That deadline expired on Friday.
But from Abuja to Lagos, and across several states, many Nigerians say the promised improvement has yet to materialise.
Worsening situation
In Utako, a district in Abuja, residents described a pattern of prolonged outages and brief, inconsistent supply.
Ekwa Mbuk, one of the affected residents, expressed frustration over what he called a worsening situation.
“So why are we at Utako District subjected to darkness for another night? The heat is sickening. This constant power outage is messing up the quality of life of your customers. Do you care? Please give us light,” he said, in a complaint directed at the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company.
He added that the power supply in the area had been erratic, with entire days passing without electricity, followed by only a short period of restoration.
“Since last night, no light… we’ve had only an hour of light. Are we getting what we’re paying for?” he asked.
Classifications
Similar sentiments echoed in Lagos, where Iyke Oscar questioned the rationale behind tariff classifications that promised extended supply.
“Why are we still paying as Band A, if we can’t have light up to 24 hours?” he asked, pointing to the growing disconnect between billing structures and actual service delivery.
Familiar pattern
Across the states, the accounts follow a familiar pattern.
In Delta, Abednego Emonena dismissed the situation bluntly: “Electricity in Nigeria is still a joke.”
In Ondo, Akin Muyiwa said residents in Akure had all but given up on the expectation of stable supply. “We don’t know what’s called electricity,” he remarked.
From Imo, Mary Blossom reported that parts of Owerri had experienced a near-total blackout for weeks. “For the past four weeks, no light,” she said.
In Edo State, Diana Efe described outages stretching into days. “This is the fifth day we haven’t seen electricity since rain fell,” she noted, while another resident, Aino, said communities were left with barely two hours of supply daily.
Elsewhere, the frustration is tinged with resignation. In Ekiti, Mr. Awo Adekunle summed it up: “No light, we just dey pay bill.”
Cynthia in Ogun State pointed to a pattern tied to weather conditions. “Once rain falls, no light for the next 12 hours, sometimes 24 hours,” she said, suggesting that infrastructure fragility continues to worsen outages.
For some, the situation has become almost surreal.
Abolanle Ajirowo wondered aloud whether official assurances referred to a different reality. “Maybe there’s another Nigeria we don’t know about,” she said.
Structural problem
Behind these reactions lies a deeper structural problem. Nigeria’s electricity generation has continued to hover around 4,000 megawatts, far below what is required for a population of over 200 million. Per capita electricity consumption remains between 144 and 165 kilowatt-hours, according to data from the International Energy Agency, placing the country well below the African average of 617 kWh.
The implications are visible in daily life. With grid supply unreliable, households and businesses are forced to rely on alternatives such as generators, inverters and solar systems. These come at significant cost, effectively creating a parallel, self-funded energy system.
Power bank rental
“Electricity remains unreliable, forcing people to depend on generators, inverters, or solar setups,” said Obinna Eze. “So you pay for electricity, even when it’s not consistent.”
In a sign of how deeply the crisis has reshaped everyday economics, new micro-businesses have emerged to fill the gap.
Power bank rentals, for instance, are now available in parts of Kaduna, Sokoto, Kano, Plateau, Niger, Nasarawa, Delta, Edo, Anambra, Imo and Lagos, offering temporary relief for phone charging and small devices at daily or weekly rates.
For now, the Federal Government maintains that improvements are on the way, tied to the repair of critical gas infrastructure and enforcement of supply obligations among producers.
Adelabu had expressed confidence that restored gas flow, particularly from facilities linked to major operators, would stabilise generation. O Yet, as the deadline he set passed without clear nationwide improvement, public patience appears to be thinning.
What remains is a familiar cycle of promise and delay, with millions of Nigerians still waiting, often in the dark, for a power sector turnaround that has long been anticipated but remains elusive.
Experts speak on N3.3trillion for power sector
Meanwhile, the announcement by Tinubu of the approval of N3.3 trillion for the settlement of outstanding debt in the power sector has been received with mixed feelings.
While some experts believe the statement in its entirety, others question its authenticity, describing it as a recurring narrative that has become a trend.
Sunday Vanguard findings reveal that prior to the latest declaration by the President, Adelabu, the Minister of Power, had announced the disbursement of the same amount in 2024, while the Debt Management Office (DMO) had already securitised about N4.5 trillion for the settlement of the same power sector debt.
Thus, some analysts view statements from the Presidency as mere sound bites aimed at scoring political points at the expense of Nigerian citizens, their businesses, and the economy at large.
While Nigerians suffer epileptic power supply, an estimated N40 trillion is lost annually due to poor electricity supply.
The Nigerian Independent System Operator, an agency of the Federal Government, had, a couple of weeks ago in a report, stated that persistent outages continue to impose high costs on businesses and households, many of which are forced to generate their own electricity.
According to the report, reliable electricity remains one of Nigeria’s most important economic priorities, stressing that power outages cost the country up to $29 billion annually.
Converted at the prevailing exchange rate of N1,385 to a dollar, this translates to roughly N40.1 trillion in yearly losses to the economy.
The operator added that the burden extends across all sectors, noting that businesses, manufacturers, and households spend billions each year generating their own electricity.
The shortfall in supply has continued to deepen electricity shortages, pushing homes and businesses to rely increasingly on alternative energy sources amid rising operating costs and harsh weather conditions.
The trajectories
Adelabu, on March 29, 2024, was quoted as saying on his Facebook page: “During my recent visit to the Egbin Power Plant, I reiterated that we have conducted a thorough diagnosis of the challenges currently facing our power sector in Nigeria. These challenges range from infrastructure limitations to supply chain constraints, and we are taking urgent action to address them and enhance power supply across the country.
“To this end, the Federal Government is fully committed to implementing proactive measures. Starting in April, we will prioritise the settlement of outstanding debts owed to power plants like Egbin Power. By doing so, our goal is to provide incentives for the continuous operation of these crucial facilities and to enhance their overall efficiency.”
Also, on October 7, 2025, the Minister was quoted as saying, “To stabilise the market, Mr. President has approved a N4 trillion bond to clear verified GenCo and gas supply debts.”
However, the Presidential Power Sector Financial Reforms Programme follows Tinubu’s approval of a N3.3 trillion payment plan to settle legacy debts accumulated between February 2015 and March 2025.
According to a release last Sunday, implementation has begun, with 15 power plants signing settlement agreements totalling N2.3 trillion.
The Federal Government said it had already raised N501 billion to fund these payments.
Of the amount, N223 billion was said to have been disbursed, with further payments underway.
Stakeholders, in the meantime, have questioned whether earlier approvals were effectively implemented or merely political statements, noting that three years down the line, no significant actions have been taken, while records of grid collapses continue to plague the country’s national grid.
Presidency report
A document tagged, ‘A Financial Reset for Nigeria’s Power Sector: The Presidential Financial Reforms Programme (2015-2026) – a chronological overview of efforts to resolve the power sector’s liquidity crisis and transition to a sustainable market-based framework,’ shows the origins of the N4.7 trillion debt, outlining a decade of tariff shortfalls, liquidity constraints, and structural inefficiencies which led to massive outstanding obligations across the power value chain.
It states: “The vicious cycle of liquidity shortfall—unpaid debts to GENCOs leading to arrears for gas suppliers—has constrained generation and rendered the sector non-bankable, culminating in a N4.7 trillion deficit.”
It notes that in 2024–2025, despite the N4.7 trillion claimed by GENCOs, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) established a N4 trillion cap, stating: “The FEC approved a settlement framework with a prudential ceiling of N4 trillion to ensure fiscal discipline.”
However, on its verification and negotiated settlement deal, the report said: “N3.3 trillion: The final negotiated figure, after rigorous verification, reduced the initial N4.7 trillion claim by 30 per cent through the removal of inflated, unsupported, or non-compliant charges.
“The market-based settlement mechanism includes cost-reflective tariffs, accelerated metering, and improved operational efficiency to prevent future debt accumulation.”
GENCOs reality, denial
While some GENCOs expressed confidence in the programme, others argued otherwise, noting that past experiences may have eroded trust in the system.
Speaking on the development and the impact of the N3.3 trillion on the power sector, Executive Director of the Association of Power Generation Companies (APGC), Dr. Joy Ogaji, said: “We only have it on paper.
“Yes, N3.3 trillion is what the government said it has approved, but we do not have details of what it covers or whether it includes the period from 2015 to 2024.
“The news we all have is political. Claims that it is up to date are questionable because reconciliation of invoices from 2015 to March 2025 has not been completed.
“The invoice for March 2025 was not included, and possibly February 2025 was also excluded due to the 45-day billing cycle.”
On solutions, another operator who spoke anonymously said: “Power sector issues need to be categorised.
“Yes, this is a pre-election period, so it is easy for the government to push liquidity solutions for compiled debts.
“But we must not deny that the debt claimed by GENCOs exists.
“All contractual terms, including interest on delayed payments, must be honoured.
“The GENCOs took loans when the exchange rate was about N155 to the dollar, but today it is over N1, 300. Who bears the difference?”
The source also pointed to a lack of transparency in billing and collection systems, calling for reforms and stronger oversight.
Others see things differently
Another source said: “I believe the government is sincere. The money will be paid, and fidelity to contracts is important. Government-imposed haircuts should not become the norm.”
Also reacting, energy economist and Executive Director, Emmanuel Egbigah Foundation, Prof. Wumi Iledare, said: “The power sector is not just underperforming—it is financially strained.
“Over N4 trillion in legacy debt continues to choke the entire value chain.
“What’s worse is that past solutions have been mostly stopgaps, addressing liquidity issues without fixing structural problems.
“At the core are non-cost-reflective tariffs, weak contract enforcement, and poor institutional coordination.
“The result is a cycle of debt recycling, not resolution.”
Electricity becoming a campaign issue – CPPE
For his part, Dr. Muda Yusuf, Chief Executive Officer of the Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE), said: “This is a pre-election period, and electricity is becoming a campaign issue. The government will likely make strong efforts to fulfill its promises.
“However, unless structural challenges are addressed, the sector may relapse. The key is ensuring the sector generates its own liquidity and attracts capable investors. Tariff reform is inevitable, though it must be gradual to avoid undue hardship.”
A step in the right direction – Independent Power
However, reacting, Managing Director of First Independent Power Limited, Mr. Seyi Sobogun, described the development as a critical step toward restoring stability.
“We welcome the progress made so far. Addressing legacy debts is crucial to improving system performance,” he said.
He noted that the N501 billion bond issuance, which was fully subscribed, reflects growing market confidence.
“We remain committed to working with stakeholders to strengthen the sector and improve electricity supply nationwide,” he added
This is terrible. Nigerians...we are our own enemies.

One cannot just be arrested for mutilating the USD unless there's fraudulent intent—such as an attempt to create more money or render currency unusable for a criminal purpose.
Not arresting people because they sprayed money at an event or those ones who are seeking SM likes.
If they put half this energy into tracing bandits, criminals and kidnappers, 9ja will be safe today but no...una brain no dey work like that.
Una wen get brain but una nor dey use am for beta tin...only always justifying evil...
De-face the dollar and post on the social media in US and watch the Government confer the highest honor of the country on you.
It is just like comparing the brain you use in making this comment with that of an average American that can never think of cleaning their nose with the currency. Ever wrong comparison of course.
As powerful as the USD is, citizens aren't arrested because of it...

Sorry the convo was in yoruba ..bottom line was that the matriarch instructed the baale to report to her house the next morning before he goes out...and I didnt here from him or his boys again till successful completion.
The homework is the groundwork you do before buying any land
Try buy from the right source.. in my story, we got directly from the matriarch.. the oldest woman who's like the last stop on all issues regarding the family. The documents were signed at the family compound with videos and pictures taken with my lawyer etc.
Is there a history of land grabbing in the area?
Groundwork would've let the buyer of the land in the original story know that the baale is a rogue and frustrates builders. Ask questions. When buying land, ensure every party involved signs the documents and never buy from children when the elders are alive...homework.
Love800: I didn't actually understand your comment.
And again, what is this homework you are talking about?
See ehn, one needs to do real homework before buying land.
There was this acre bought about 10 years ago...
Decided to develop and one m@d man who called himself baale sent his boys to stop work and we should come and see him.
Meanwhile, I bought land from the matriarch who billed me extra cash as "owo agba"..insurance that no mammon would ever disturb me.
When the consultant informed, we put a call to mama's son. Not knowing that mama get were pass all of them 🙄...aparently the so called baale na baby for whrre mama dey..
In her words when she spoke to me, Mama said...tani were to nikpe ki'e wa ri ohun...tani baba re...s'ee so eni ti e ra le lowo re fun ni?🤣
Na so mama order the son...so fun pe mo fe rii kile to mo laaro ola. Till tomorrow, I haven't heard from baale.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8dnpvRNDi8 Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has strongly rejected allegations by Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, that he is working as an agent of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to destabilise the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Wike made the remarks on Wednesday while speaking with journalists during an inspection of ongoing infrastructure projects in the Jahi and Kuje districts of Abuja.
Describing the accusation as “embarrassing and baseless,” Wike said the claim reflects inconsistency on the part of the Bauchi governor.
According to him, such allegations are not new, noting that many individuals who previously accused him of disloyalty to the PDP have since defected to the APC.
“These accusations of me being planted are not new. Those who made them before—where are they today? They are now in APC,” Wike said.
He questioned the credibility of the claims, arguing that he has remained in the PDP despite openly supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu since the 2023 elections.
“I have said clearly that I will not leave the PDP. At the same time, I will continue to support the President. That has always been my position,” he added.
Wike also accused Bala Mohammed of political inconsistency, alleging that the governor had previously sought his support to influence the emergence of the PDP National Secretary—an appeal he said he rejected.
The FCT Minister further claimed that during the 2022–2023 election period, Mohammed privately approached him in Port Harcourt to propose support for Tinubu, despite later aligning with former PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
“The same person who came to meet me to support Tinubu later moved to Atiku. This is the kind of inconsistency Nigerians are watching,” Wike said.
He criticised Mohammed’s recent political stance, describing him as unstable and lacking in clear direction.
Wike also dismissed the governor’s demand for the position of PDP National Secretary for his faction, arguing that such a request was unrealistic given his current political standing.
“You cannot negotiate from a position of weakness and demand such a key position. That is not how it works,” he stated.
Despite ongoing tensions within the party, Wike maintained that the PDP remains strong, pointing to the successful conduct of its recent national convention as evidence of its resilience.
Reaffirming his loyalty, he insisted he has no intention of leaving the party, even as he continues to back the current administration.
Meanwhile, Bala Mohammed had earlier accused Wike of political persecution during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily. He alleged that the FCT Minister was behind legal actions initiated against him, including petitions to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Mohammed also criticised President Tinubu’s administration, describing Wike as a negative influence and accusing him of working against the PDP from within.
“You cannot be in two places at the same time,” Mohammed said, questioning Wike’s dual alignment with the PDP and the APC-led federal government.
The exchange highlights deepening divisions within the PDP as key figures continue to trade accusations over loyalty and the party’s future direction.
Can you hear yourself? BAT could tell GEJ to resign if he couldn't do what's right cos the buck stopped at his table but the goal post is shifted now that he wields power?...now, anyone who criticizes him is an enemy of the state
Oh so you guys n this government want to claim not to know these terrorists abi? Even with the flimsy excuses of terrorists using VPN?
When Goodluck Jonathan was in Aso rock …. He always claimed he knew those behind the attacks but he never did anything to stop them…. Are you aware of this??
What is wrong in telling the President to stop the people he claims he knows from carrying out more deadly attacks?
Non of you had this IQ or accepted these excuses while y'all were castigating GEJ and calling him all sorts of names. BAT had all the solutions back then...so what happened to the buck stopping at the president's table?
Who cares wether he's embarrassed or not Y'all found a way to make it about Tinubu and not about the lives that were lost or their bereaved family members.
seunmsg: You don't even require any high IQ to see the political intentions in all the recent attacks. A day to when he was traveling to UK, they carried out a deadly attack and immediately circulated a fake Donald Trump screenshot through popular Obidient influencers like Rufai etc just to embarrass the President on the international stage. Now, they came up with this Jos attack again. Killing innocent people just because of politics. So sad.
Instead, you'll find the disadvantaged voters clapping, dancing, hailing their fascist deceivers while waiting for rice and deep freezer to be shared to them....deep freezer that they can't afford to buy fuel to run.
Stolckom Syndrome...It's pathetic.
Fuckyoumod: Nigerians where is your share in all of this? Tinubu is trying to reach him, settle him and stop his defection.
But Nigerians who is reaching out to you to help you deal with the poverty and hunger?
Are they not supposed to be begging you Nigerians for their votes?
Oyo politics is savage and brutal. He should just focus on performing his duties to the best of his ability...cos for now, Oyo people seem not to want him at agodi.
fergie001: This one he is apologising all over the place, he has been told in no unclear terms, APC Oyo won't support his Guber bid.
What has your opps got to do with this non- related matter?
In which universe does a king ascend a throne without being duly orientated and indoctrinated? Oh, they conveniently forgot about that festival and it's rules?
So because the chief priest is taking the heat for his guy, we should swallow it hook, line and s(t)inker like you "wise" ones Much like your lords who make empty promises and later come back to deny ever saying such while you clap and dance for them?
Is this the first time the festival is holding since his reign?
Will an Ooni, Alaafin or a Sultan feign ignorance of his people's festival?
Abeg rest...avid reader.
Exousiang01: Did you read the part where the chief priest said the King was unaware? You must be an Obidient. You are the only people that will imagine things and run with them as facts even when the real facts are available.
Kings held court and acted as judges in ancient times. Therefore, the morning after videos of sexual harassment of women in the town went viral, the Ovie of Ozoro, His Royal Majesty, Barrister Anthony Uvietobore Ogbogbo, Ibuka I summoned everybody involved to his palace to find out what happened.
The Ovie was visibly angry. He said that he had received very many messages, including videos and pictures from the students union president, the vice chancellor of the university, senior state government officials from Asaba, other traditional rulers and prominent Isoko sons and daughters. He was shocked by what he saw.
Among the people that were summoned to his palace were leaders of the community like the chief priest, president-general, etc and leaders of the students unions. The people inside the palace did not know that the king had also invited the divisional police officer and the DPO and his men were waiting outside in the palace compound.
The king asked one of the leaders of the community what happened the previous night.
The leader said that the chief priest came to tell them that the diety wanted to celebrate the festival and that they should make an announcement that women were not supposed to come out when they were coming back from the festival.
The King asked what would happen to the women if they came out. Another person said, "Nothing". The king shouted on the person that said nothing, insulted him and told him that he was not speaking to him.
The king asked them whether the festival was a civic or traditional festival. The man said that it was a traditional festival. The king asked the man who was the head of the tradition in the kingdom. The man replied that it was the king. The king asked the man whether they informed him about the festival. The man hesitated for a while and then said that he thought that the chief priest would inform the king.
The king asked the chief priest whether he informed him. The chief priest said that they were supposed to inform him. The king shouted that the chief priest did not answer the question. He said that it's not a matter of "supposed to", did he inform the king. The chief priest said no. The king asked him whether he informed the president-general. The chief priest said no.
The king asked them when was the last time that the festival was held. The man said that it was held in 2022. The king asked the man whether what happened the previous night (rape) happened in 2022. The man first said no, then he said that he didn't know.
The king said that they would all make statements to the DPO outside.
The King said that he has been king for 22 years and he has never heard that rape is part of the festival. He said that many people had phoned him to find out what was happening and he didn't know what to tell them. He said that he couldn't say that he didn't know, because he would be indicting himself and he couldn't say that he knew because he would also be indicting himself.
He said that what happened was very serious and many human rights groups were taking it very seriously. He said that he was shocked when he saw the videos and pictures that were sent to him.
Don't you know that most of the people on this NL either don't have the data or patience to read through or watch videos before commenting?
Some just rush to comment for likes and political correctness.
No sane person who watches that full video will unequivocally blame that woman without seeing clearly that Marshal Abubakar is compromised.
See how condescending he was to her everytime the poor woman aired her frustrations and fears?
Yes, she may have goofed by cutting off Sowore tho she showed a chat informing him of some events but any desperate person at the short end of the stick like this woman was, would've made the same mistakes...Who wouldn't trust lawyer (offered by Sowore)
Even the commentator at the beginning of the video is so biased he sounds like one of the many paid stooges on NL.
99.9% of what's called "activism" in Nigeria is really personal exhibition and brand maintenance in disguise.
O.Y.O...One chance... dem go don off am...plus NL Resident Evil Supporters and their family members will say he deserved to be dealt with sef😎
smallsmall: I've always loved Afroman, that 'I got high' is a hit l still enjoy till today. and l also find his song "One hit wonder", very amusing and intelligent at the same time. the way he crafted it and responded to the insinuation of being a One-hit wonder, was so refreshing. Is it a trend, that White Police are always trying to destroy Black Men, especially the Rich and famous Black Men, Artistes, Sportsmen, etc, in the western World? Michael Jackson, George Floyd, R.Kelly, P. Diddy and many others on my mind..
But l am just thinking, Police are the same thing, all over the world: Sense of entitlement and being above the law, abusing their privileges and disrespecting the citizens. Now, what could have happened, if this incident happened in Nigeria? With they rob all his Trainers and that Music Box, his Jewelries and other stuffs, during the raid? Will they come back and raid his Home again or even shoot him in the process, after he made the Music taking a swipe at their initial behavior? Would they plant Drugs in his Home and then arrest him for it, as they do, during stop & search, at the various Road Blocks?
And after all said and done, can he ever get Justice in our Law Courts, with the kind of Judges we have in Nigeria at the moment?
Dem no look well at all...someone who sang about how he was supposed to eat some p**** but got high na him una go dey poke🤣...o boy
That's what happens when you f*** with an intelligent we*d smoker...they fu**up your life🤣🤣🤣
In a nation with rules that respect human dignity tho....see laff
naptu2: You might remember Afroman (real name Joseph Edgar Foreman). He's the rapper/singer who released the song Because I Got High in the year 2000.
Basically in the song he says that he was supposed to do all kinds of things (go to work, clean his house, etc), but he didn't because he got high and then he sings about the consequences. It's a very funny song.
In 2022 some policemen broke down Afroman's door and invaded his house on suspicion of kidnapping and drug traficking. Afroman said that they scared his children. No arrests were made and no charges were filed.
Afroman reviewed his CCTV footage of the raid and noticed several things. One of the policemen that was searching his kitchen saw a pound cake on the table, did a doubletake and looked longingly at it.
Afroman also accused the police officers of stealing four hundred dollars from his house.
The policemen damaged several things in Afroman's house (obviously including his door), but they refused to pay for them. So Afroman did the brilliant thing and released an album about the raid in order to pay for the damages. 🤣 These were what the songs were about.
1) One song is called Lemon Pound Cake and in it he makes fun of the size (fat) of the policeman that looked longingly at the poundcake.
2) In another song he makes fun of a female police officer's weight. In the video of the song she is chasing him, but she's too fat and can't catch him. He also makes claims about her gender and sexuality.
He used the real CCTV footage of the raid in the music videos. The songs went viral and did huge numbers on social media.
The police officers sued him for defamation of character and violation of privacy (because he used CCTV footage of them in the music video).
Remember what I said about defamation? It's your reputation that is on trial. The police officers had to endure difficult questions, all the music videos were played in court, etc. The police officers ended up crying in court. One of the police officers said that people were sending pound cakes to their station.
Well, Afroman won in court (the court ruled that he was within his free speech rights and that the police officers put themselves in the view of his CCTV cameras) and he has made another song about the trial.
Afroman says it's the police's fault. If they hadn't broken into his house, then his money would have been complete, his house would not have been damaged and he won't have made the songs.
Ajinomito actually showed people shege...e sweet but e dey purge belle
Kalulu44: Same thing they did to Ajinomoto seasoning. A very good spice for stew and Jollof, rumor circulated it was a bleach chemical they used in producing it. That was how that product died a natural death
Wow...memories...It's called Corporate Espionage. They don't care...it's a dog eat dog world.
There was this Laide Perfune Jelly with this catchy ad....laide de o...Tiwa ni..perfume jelly...
Most of these and many other indigenous ventures died from unfavorable biz environment/ factors
chicfarmer: Nigerian competitors always fly fake rumors to bring down other brands in order to sell their own.
I remember those days when Royco cube launched a new product called Royco stew, Omo Royco took over the market because the product was innovative and good. It made stew red, sweet and had good aroma. Suddenly everybody forgot about other seasoning cubes. Na Royco stew just dey reign.
Before you know it, one wicked rumor just surfaced that they use human blood to make the new Royco stew seasoning. Omo, that was how that excellent product just died because no one wants to imagine that he or she has been eating human blood
It was so sad 😢 So I'm not surprised about what happened to this man. Even without evidence, they can use wicked rumors to kill a good product. It's so wrong.
The ex-governors and the current one deserve to be flogged.
It's not only aniocha...90% of the roads are bad...Warri-Eku road leading to the Baptist hospital is a mess..even the bypass has become unusable that commuters now use the old road constructed by colonialists.
The visit there last year was such an awful experience it felt like delta wasn't part of Nigeria...imagine the advance team spent a day and half betwen Lag and Asaba. Unfortunately, the indigenes who obviously don't know any better think the suffering is normal and the gov is trying.

Tell your electrician (rewire) to check your cold start....been there back in the day😎

Victory662: I recently bought a Toyota Corolla 2005 model, Nigerian used. Since then I've had this constant problem of hard starting. It's not very bad though, it picks after second or third kick, although in some cases it could be worse prompting my battery to run down.
I have explained the issue to about 4 mechanics, each of them telling me what they suspected could be the cause, I paid them and at the end of the day, nothing changed. I've spent over 300k on this very issue.
The only option I'm considering now is that of the latest mechanic that told me it could be fuel pump system pressure or electrical fault or both. I'm just afraid of spending money again because I'm already afraid it may not work. So NL family, have your car ever had this "spiritual hard starting" problem? And how did u get out of it?
