I hope this starts a new chapter of ultra conservative attitude of the Yoruba with respect to One Nigeria.

dederocs:
The south keep looking like kids while these people rip us, this set of southern governors are really lame, they can't even take tough decisions to protect the lives of their people.

Southern governors come together, form a regional militia to take over our forests, only militias can route these kidnappers and herdsmen from the north out, militias are used to staying in the jungle and forests, why are these governors so inefficient?

Okpebolo secure your state, no be to dey sing on your mandate everywhere, protect Edo people, this is your fundamental duty, you are not there for Tinubu or APC, you are there for Edo people. Work with Edo state parliament and approve automatic AK 47 for the vigilantes. Even a child knows local dane and shotguns can not do anything against AK 47.

they won't cos it would be seen by the North as a SOUTHERN REGIONAL ARMY out to flush and kill all Northerners in the SOUTH.
The North will replicate by covertly and overtly arming BH and others and boom...CIVIL WAR ignited.

ordinary AMOTEKUN, we all know the cries and hues the North had over it before it was formally formed and made operational. The fear that Yoruba has created their own regional police/army.
now AMOTEKUN is working well below capacity deliberately just to keep it under the radar and to defray Northern nerves .
imagine Amotekun on a wider scale.
they know what to do, but politics won't allow them

In the same vein, they also launched their Student Insurance scheme to suck money from students.. go to NOUN and see how they guzzle money from student's

ARISHEM:
Then we won’t tell them that our wives don get belle at the embassy and point of entry.

How long do you want to stay in the United States?
On a 3 month visa?
Even if you evade ICE long enough for pregnancy to come to term..
You think you can just stroll into any hospital to give birth without antenatal ? without documentation?
Even if you do that.. you think they'll process the child's citizenship without parents documentation?
Don't be surprised after delivery ,they bundle you, wife and pikin on the first plane back to Naija with permanent travel ban for all parties.

Just take a look at the comments..
No serious outrage coming..
Just random neutral comments.
Had it been the man killed the woman..
You'll be hearing all sorts ..
Ritual killer..
Men are beasts.. etc.
Everyone carrying knives and pitchforks..

Since it's a woman killing a man .
See as everywhere cool.

MemphitzDgreat1:
The gift big pass the reward

$100k × 23 players = $2.3m
CAF prize money =$1m.

Una sure say Tinubu well like this truly truly?

Something the Sport's Minister and NFF will corner and give the girls like $5k each..
You don't know how shamelessly corrupt Sports officials are..
People that steal training allowances and benefits of athletes.

Hope no Igbo amongst them?
If so , you've just introduced fifth columnists within your ranks.

Which South has he locked down?
These people are delusional.
It appears T-Pain's handlers don't know or they know but would rather massage his ego , making him believe he's accepted by majority of Nigerians.
An ATIKU/OBI ticket would sink his 2nd term ambition the second it's announced.
Let him forget about the North..he can't get any meaningful votes from there..
The SW, he will get votes..not overwhelming tho.
The SS and SE will vote for ATIKU/OBI ticket.
The North will vote for ATIKu/OBI ticket.
So where will TPain get majority votes with spread?

Node911:
I think many state governors are not well informed. You get the power from national grid, then start reducing cost as if you’re the one providing the service.

No one is saying they should not reduce price for the citizens but build your own before you can do that. How do they want national grid to breakeven?

Build yours, do your proper analysis to reduce cost and this thereby translate to less price target.

So for a state like Lagos with Ikeja and Eko Electric .if a new player enters..how would they carve out or map out an area for them to service? Cos those two were just dashed Lagos and they cut us up like cake between them.
What modalities would be used to determine areas excised from Eko Electric jurisdiction?

In other words..
DISCOs should continue charging and ripping Nigerians off with exorbitant tariffs with full backing of FG.
Why am I not surprised?
Most DISCOs are owned by govt officials and government back politicians..
The only way out is for states to invest in Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution..
Lagos Delta, Rivers can break away from FG DISCOs easily .
Open your states.. invite coys like SIEMENS, GE to your States..allow them to map out areas, give them land, equipment that can't be manufactured here..give them import waivers, tax waivers .you'll see serious boost in electricity..yes they would charge a bit more..but you'll definitely see the results..
As long as DISCOs are being pampered by the FG. All this nonsense will continue.

After this..
There would be more energy theft forcing the EEDC to shed power to unproductive areas..
This in turn would lead to load shedding and more loss of power and the cycle continues.. eventually leading to the collapse of EEDC.
Other DISCOs should pay particular attention to this cos this would be replicated across the regions.
All this BAND A nonsense is just a ripoff.
Meter your customers..
Stop all this estimated billing..
That's the only way ..if not...the fate of EEDC await y'all.

My friend rented a mini-flat and all she put was mattress on the floor. She had those small clothe wardrobe we used in secondary school and plastic baskets for her clothes. Then a tiny ceiling fan. It was my first time seeing a ceiling fan that tiny. Her sitting room was empty and filled with nonsense load. I entered her flat and I was disappointed. I asked why she is living like this and she said "Here na camp. When I marry I go enjoy".

How do you convince a man you are good for enjoyment when you have suffered all your life? Love yourself and let the man know how you love to be loved. Funny she was always giving her fake suitors gift and money, but found it hard to spend on herself.

Na me carry her to Thermocool office at Dopemu to buy fridge and AC. Introduced her to my furniture maker. Paid for her driving school. Taught her parallel parking. Introduced her to the late Gazz to overhaul her car. We even bought a big gen from him and she uses it till date. I told her "eat your money. Put on AC make e dey cool your head, see as your house hottttt. When husband come, una go discuss the way forward". Everything isn't about man and what they care about. You are not on earth for that.

Has she gotten married?
Are you also married?
The answer is a definite NO.
I understand the OP point of view.
Back in the day.a woman gets married straight from her father's house usually in her early to mid 20s.. now women are remaining single at 30+ due to high expectations in husband material. No one is saying a single woman shouldn't furnish her apartment..but when you furnish to a high level and a man enters.. definitely he'll be thinking how you got funds for this.. a lot comes to mind.

[quote author=grandstar post=136216091]This Candace Owen no get sense.

How can one consider Macron's wife a transgender? It is just nonsense


Michele Obama is.
Everyone knows it.
Joan Rivers was killed for that.

Tinubumustgo:
Is acting but you still have to train extremely hard before you get into the ring.

Hulk Hogan Vs iron sheikh the Iranian man was my favourite.

Strangely enough...he identified strongly with the US when Iran and US were still allies

Yorùbá has been in the Theatre and movie industry much longer than any other tribe in this country.. possibly in West Africa.
Yoruba have been pioneers long before certain cretins crawled out from caves and forests.
However , the Igbos have made a name for themselves as well, mostly in production and marketing..that's why they seem to dominate, whereas in quality of film.. the Yoruba have it hands down..
Nollywood didn't start with Living in Bindage.
That's what the Igbo would have you believe.
It's been around way longer. Check out any Igbo actor/actress that cut their teeth in the 80s and 90s..it was thru government financed soap operas and tv series. Yorùbá have been acting movies , comedies, dramas and plays independent from Govt patronage since the 60s.
By that logic..it's obvious Yoruba have more veteran actors and actresses ..
The Great Pete Edochie is a great actor..easily putting 40+ years in the business but we have others clocking 60+.
Let's give honor to whoever is due.
This isn't a pissing contest
Yemi Solade is senior to Peter Edochie in acting..that doesn't remove anything from him tho.

Lagos State will soon start issuing their own Driver's license..valid throughout the Nation
All this nonsense backlog would soon be a thing of the past for Lagos Residents wishing to renew or replace their DL

osuofia2:
Evil man, I wish governors can sign death penalties.
Sorry for the hotel owner because business investment don go be that. Once death occurs in a hotel that's the end of the business

Not entirely accurate

Reference:
Just read the entire thing.

First and foremost. With the decentralisation and states/regions having their service independence perhaps EEDC feels its share of the 4 trillion debt, legacy or not is insignificant or perhaps manageable so they are willing to take it on.

But what I also think is that they are looking at the whole industry with a view to creating a healthy balance between supply and demand. For just as it is easy for the vendors to say right pricing or supply collapse, it is also incumbent fir them to realuse that wrong pricing will lead to demand collapse.

Indeed GENCOS and DISCOS are seeing a drop in consumption across board due to the higher tariffs. Nigerians are reacting both legally and illegally, by investing in alternative power, stealing more or just reducing consumption.

So this vicious cycle may prove unsustainable for electricity supply. And the tendency to pursue or close the funding gap may lead to ever higher tariffs and ever lower revenues. The business model has to be re examined, discussed or debated and a decision reached on the structure and quantity of subsidies to be paid because one thing is very clear.

The micro economy (personal, business) just cannot commercially sustain the electricity sector as it is today and the only way out is either a general improvement if the economy to raise incomes or for the power sector to find cheaper ways to generate and distribute electricity.

There are no easy answers. We are not just in between a rock, but a huge mountain and a very hard place, a vast, smouldering desert.

This would eventually happen if the DISCOs aren't checked and put in place..
Their focus is solely on revenue . Very little attention is paid to upgrade and maintenance.
The crazy notion that customers pay for repairs and replacement of equipment can't continue. What would happen is the eventual collapse of the system..
By the time 30-40% are bypassing and stealing power and your infrastructure gets decayed up to a point and you can no longer service your loans or pay salaries..then we'll know.
What EERC did was extremely commendable and I expect other states to emulate such..
This will force the DISCOs to roll out PPM and carry out upgrade on their infrastructure..
This would solve the issue of theft and increase their revenue..
They don't want to work but reap..
That's their MO.

Keep your lane.
If I grow old to become a morally bankrupt, corrupt individual like him...you can wish me all the evil cos I deserve it
It's your type that doesn't speak ill of the dead and dying..that's why politicians feel no remorse .weyrey will still get supporters and defenders to whitewash him despite the weight of dollars in his babariga.

Paentera:
I see Enugu Electricity Regulatory Commission (EERC) reversing the tariff reduction announcement within a few days.

Why?
The commission has been faulted in its approach to tariff sculpting considering it in error, created the tariff reduction framework for band A consumers based on receiving a subsidy from the Federal Government. In 2025, Generation companies invoice an average of N250billion monthly for generating power (N3trillion annually) while the Federal Government only made a subsidy provision of N900bn in the 2025 fiscal year.

All electricity subsidy provisions in the 2025 fiscal budget are strictly for lower bands (B to E) while band A tariffs are sculpted to be 100% cost reflective, so it is technically impossible for the EERC to expect the Federal Government to make up a tariff shortfall for consumers on Band A within Enugu State. Effectively, for EERC to proceed with this tariff for Band A consumers will mean Enugu State Government will have to cough out N49 for every kWh consumed by band A users in the state. This makes no economic sense to say the least considering the limited resources available to the state's treasury.

I do hope the state ERC knows what it is doing.

EERC is way smarter than you.
They won't have made this directive willynilly.
Be at peace, negative minded individual.

Go and join your padi .
Others will soon join you
A new Nigeria is coming and these old filth aren't needed.

Kimo21:
Even though we know English because British colonised us…some people don’t pass because they don’t obey instructions

For example don’t give long answers when only short ones are required…or speaking too fast or too slow, believe it or not most Nigerians don’t even know how to use articles properly , or use synonyms and the rest properly…that’s why even though you know English in general….you have to study very well…you’ll be surprised that you may not know as much as you think.

So you think the average Londoner in England speaks better than we do?
You'd be surprised at the level of grammatical blunders they commit..but since it's their language..it's okay..

Have your own chain of filling stations and supply directly to them .
That's the only way to get your products and the pricing to the masses .
Anything else is a waste of time

Dpaulie:
You may not understand that losing Lagos in 2023 will make [b]him win Lagos in2027[/b]not going to repeat itself again, I bet

He can never win any election in Lagos again.
The Presidential votes will go the ADC.

NgeneUkwenu:
Tinubu, in 2027, Insha allah, will be the only Candidate with support across the entire 6 geopolitical zones in Nigeria.

ATIKU- North East and North West
Obi- South East.
Tinubu- South West, South South, North Central, North West, North East and South East.

No permutation can defeat Tinubu in 2027.

I want to believe you're been sarcastic.
South South, South East?
You must be joking.
Even SW he won't get majority votes here..
Talk less of North East..
He needs a miracle to win.

ghettochild:
Wha a waste of time..those street names won't change on the lips of the people.. imagine bus conductors calling these new names..lol very funny

Keep wishing..
