I may not always agree with MURIC but I'm with them on this one. I suddenly noticed that instead of the GOTV decoder tuning into channel 1 which is their default channel, it switches to channel 100 a Christian channel. They've made the Christian channel their default channel now and you can't miss it once your decoder turns on. This is completely unfair to non Christians, if I was a Christian I'd be just as annoyed. They operate in a multi religious country yet they're forcing a particular religion on the people. They're still lamenting decline in subscribers, they've not seen anything yet. I've kukuma ditched their DSTV over a year ago, now it's time to ditch their GoTV and focus on smart TV fully. Na data e go cost me



Imagine you turn on your decoder and it takes you straight to a Muslim channel instead of the default channel where they advertise their channels and programs. Won't there be a national outcry of Islamisation IMMEDIATELY? It's been over 3 months now that GOTV has set their decoder to tune into a Christian channel once you turn it on and MURIC is just reacting yet Muslims are the intolerant ones.

THANK YOU

Tapas have a lot Yorubnised Tapa in Ajah oh

The olumegbon is a Lagos island chief

Idejo title is only recognized in Eko kingdom sir.

Full name of Olumegbon is Olumegbon Ajaiye. And Ajaiye was shortened to Ajah. It use to be igbo/oko Ajaiye. Olumegbon family has proof of collecting land rents in Ajah as far back as 1930s supported with valid court judgments. The Olumegbon should not allow those people from being Baale again.

The olumegbon is a Lagos island chief

Idejo title is only recognized in Eko kingdom sir.

Every white cap Chief has family farm outside Lagos Island. Aromire owns Ijora, Badia , Ajegunle and Apapa. Onikoyi farm settle use to be in Ajiran.

Olumegbon family have shown proof of collecting land rents in Ajah as far back as 1930s. They have court judgment supporting it. For the fact that they allowed settlers to be Baale in the past doesn't cancel their ownership of the Land. I am from Ikorodu and I have family that are related to Ajah from Ikorodu as they farm there in the olden days. My lineage are qualify for the Oba stool in Langbasa.

Eriokanmi:
. I knew you'd pull this out from Wikipedia which anyone can put up there , Including you and I. So, if I call Magodo (a yoruba word, meaning do not pound that morter) another name on Wikipedia tomorrow, you'd also go there and dig it out abi?

Akeja is different from Ikeja. Akeja is in ota, a small community after the lagos boundary with ogun, after crossing that bridge. That's akeja town which is different from Ikeja.

There's something which we always do as human. We like to distort history even though it is irrelevant in the present day generation. I heard the other day when someone said Ikeja is an abbreviation of Ikorodu and epe blablala. I think it's been removed by same blogger who put it there. This isn't peculiar to us. Arabs also do this a lot. Imagine them saying they own Egypt despite the obvious. Thank God for those mummies they exhumed which proved them wrong. Early egyptians were blacks. Otoman turks came and wiped them off for worshipping idols after alexander invasion
from greece and settled there with his people and procreated for centuries, his people stayed and were enthroning themselves. Imagine apartheid was never stopped in south africa. In 1000 years to come, the whites in that era would lay claim on that country cos blacks would have been wiped out completely

The fact that Lagos is our land and nobody can take it away does not mean we shouldn't give credit to the early settlers. It's just like ijaw saying ęsę odo is an ijaw land . Wouldn't that be a white lie? That the ilajes occupy a LGA in Ondo doesn't change the fact that it's still an Ondo land and a yoruba territory by extension.

Try and be visiting museums once in a while maybe during your annual leave. You'd know a lot of history about people and territories they occupy in yorubaland. I was shocked the day I saw the old map of Lagos Island. That was the only place known as lagos in that era by the colonialists. All the bini names on that map have disappeared today. It was the colonialists who compiled them. It was in that book I learnt the only road that entered lagos was from abeokuta down to ota-orile agege, etc down to Iddo and eko, just a tiny footpath.

Imagine some people coining the meaning of eko? Till tomorrow, ask any edo person where he or she is going , they'd tell you Eko. They don't know here as lagos, na oyinbo name am lagos. Eko, idugaran, idumota, idumagbo, etc are edo words and are on that map. Iga means compound in bini. When next I visit again, I'd snap those pages and upload it here. Even where they used to bury lagos obas in Benin and the reason behind that practice until it was stopped. Oba akiolu once told this truth and some people got angry but history can't lie. The erelu of lagos too was verbally attacked, why?

Above all these, it's still our land but we need to always give credit to whom it's due. Do you know that, had the edos not settled here , lagos might not have been possibly discovered till today cos nothing was happening here than fishing about 700 years ago. The edos came and settled here. Seashore was the fastest route to bini in those days.

Before I conclude on issues like history, I read widely and consult widely. I also reason. After Edo it's awori people who can claim here by ownership cos a vast part of the mainland is owned by them.

Iga is an Ijebu word for palace. Same thing as Iganran. Idu means stand, points in Ijebu dialect. Iganran means pepper. Idugaran means pepper stands/point. Same with Oju-Olobun. Obun means market in Ijebu dialect. The traditional and cultural identities of Lagos Island can be traced mostly to Ijebu and Awori. Oba of Lagos was the only throne in South West without its own land. Kosoko stopped his rule from reaching Ereko which is less than 3km from his Palace. Likewise Oloto of Iddo controls Iddo.

Iamgrey5:
Olumogbon should be from the Oba of Lagos bini decedent.

The Balee of Ajah should the mixture of Ilaje, Awori and Tapa decedent of Ajah

Although Olumogbon is of Awori White cap chief origin of Lagos island.

The fight is to determine whether the original Kingdom of Eko extended to Ajah area of Lagos.

So it's purely a family affair.

Stop dabbling into what you know nothing about. Olumegbon had nothing to do with Benin. Olumegbon is purely an Awori and the head of Idejo.

While Ajah belongs to mixtures of Awori and Ijebu. Tapa has no land in Ajah

Tolerate what?
When dad was young, was he not speeding?
Did he listen to his own dad to slow down?
Now that OP is speeding, Dad is shouting left and right.
Abeg comot for the car or drive yourself.

You are not only fool but very stupid. Op knew that what he did was wrong. It was guilty conscience that made him to ask if what did was wrong. But you that lack manner think he is right? You don't stop there you can't even rationalise why being rude to one's biological father was wrong in all ramifications. You are questioning others that have morals and manners.

DOA

jmoore:
All these stats are misleading by the time you dig deeper.

Eg. An mtn consumer in Abia pays VAT which is counted under Lagos.

That is part of what the newly proposed tax reform law is to correct but some uninformed people are against it

Vinnie2000:
YES, That's why I used that word Hoodwink.

The Client who sent the Staff wanted a Receipt bearing 35K.

From what I heard, They Connived and the Staff Told the Secretary that the Client (Her Family friend) have sent the Money ("35K) but there was Bank Network issues.

But later she now claimed the Network FAILED totally,
That the Secretary should just hold N20,000, thinking that that the Secretary has written Receipt.

Since the said staff claimed network failure, the company should accept that on the face value and hold on to the receipt if the Secretary had written one. The Company should its mode of operation. By not issuing receipt until payment is confirmed. Tagging the staff as being dubious is too hasty at the stage because the staff may just decided to borrow the Customer that 20 thousand naira. The Company should insist on complete payment before writing of receipt and release of goods to customers.

You can't conclude that the said staff lied about network issue. As that will be hasty, unfair and judgment based on emotions. There are cases that money sent were reversed so don't based your judgment on emotions nor suspicion but facts and evidences.

From your explanation is the Company mode of operandi that needed adjustment. The Staff hasn't committed any offense

Versal:
Among the things you mentioned, which one is really a crime?

It depends on the Country's constitution. Some of it is a crime in Northern Nigeria. Most importantly it is a big crime in the moral court to be sexually reckless like Baltasar Ebang anywhere in the world.

Will you be proud with a character like Ebang? A character that can be weaponised against you is surely a bad one and should be condemned.

Very bad behaviour. He must be a bully from young age. Will he raised his hand if a fellow man that he knows he can't overpower accused him even wrongly.

Parents train your children never go physical even when provoked with words. At worst talk your own back or walk away.

Electricity supply has improve massively, and the System Operator of the TCN is about to be given out to private professionals for efficiency, improvements and prevention of incessant grid collapse.

But Nigerians need to understand reasons for national grid collapse.

There are 26-grid connected power plants currently.

These power plants generate the power that the entire country uses, and it's synchronised and distributed across the country by the TCN.

TCN are the ones that handle the distribution of power by sending it to Discos.

TCN is a government owned entity that majorly operates in three (3) different departments.

1. Transmission Service Provider (TSP)
2. System Operator (SO)
3. Market Operator (MO)

- TSP are the ones in charge of maintaining the cables and towers that transmit the light.

- MO are the ones that handle market processes, rules, enforcement, finances, etc.

- SO are the ones in charge of maintaining and stabilising our national grid.

National grid is the interconnections of high transmission wires/cables across the country.

Grid frequency measures the demand and supply of electricity despatch to consumers from the Gencos.

Frequency meters are measured in hertz (Hz).

Based on the grid code, our normal frequency level is supposed to be 50Hz.

Example:
If the current power generation is 4000MWh and people are using all the 4000MWh, then supply is equal to demand, and frequency should be 50Hz.

This is a perfect condition that is highly unlikely.

If we are generating 4000MWh and People are using 3700Mwh, then obviously supply is higher than demand, and for that reason, the frequency will show you 51Hz.

If we are generating 4000MWh and people are trying to use 4200MWh, demand is higher than supply, and for that reason, the frequency will show 49Hz.

I know you will ask me how you can be generating 4000MWh and be trying to use 4200MWh😅😅

Take, for instance, your using I-pass-my-neighbour generator, and you're trying to connect 2HP A.C. with microwave on the generator😂

The generator will just automatically shut down.

That's how it happens, too, on the national grid.

Nigerian national grid is set to operate on a designated frequency level

Upper limit = 51.25Hz

Lower limit = 48.75Hz

The job of an S.O. is to make sure that the frequency movement is in between these 2 levels

Any significant deviation from these 2 levels, i.e., if it exceeds the threshold above or below it, such might trigger a national grid collapse.

A grid collapse is not like a collapse that something bad happens, no. The 26 grid connected generators will automatically shut down because of safety and security reasons.

In your houses, if you have a serious electrical fault, the circuit breaker will trip off to shut down the entire supply and protect everyone from potential injury or damages.

The demand for electricity is not static. For example, let's say you have 10 ACs in your house and other appliances.

In full capacity, your house is consuming 500Kwh, and average capacity can be 300Kwh or less.

Lets say in this hot weather, they only allocate 250Kwh to your house, and you're trying to use it in full capacity, if you switch on everything the demand will exceed the available supply you have and for that reason the light will automatically go off

These are all examples of how a demand is trying to exceed supply and how the system will protect itself.

On the flip side, when supply exceeds demand, the system will equally go off for safety reasons.

In Nigeria, supply does not always exceed demand unless there is an adverse event that occurs. I will explain.

In 2022, when TCN unions (NUEE) decide to go on strike, they just off the light abruptly without notice nor following the normal process, this trigger imbalance

Between the demand and supply.

They off the electricity around Abuja axis and co areas without the S.O. necessarily transferring the load somewhere. This resulted in higher supply, less demand because the generators are working, but nobody to pick load. It means

For E.g, there is 4000MWh being generated from GenCos. You went ahead to shut down almost 500MWh without channelling that MWh somewhere else. It becomes a redundant, and the system does not accept redundancy. For that reason, the entire power plants go off to protect itself

The frequency will be showing something more than 52Hz in some cases because supply is higher than demand.

This is why you will see that they will bring light now and take it off again.

The demand is not static, and as its changing, the S.O. will also be Making sure that the supply is reasonable enough to maintain frequency reading within the allowable limit.

TCN will ask a disco to take 200Mw, and within a short time, they will reduce that 200Mw to 190Mw depending on how generation and demand are behaving

This is all done to protect the grid and maintain balance.

If TCN asks Disco to reduce the MW, that's when you see discos taking light off, or maybe if there is a major repair.

Also, if there is a repair and a disco can not offtake power, then either the disco rechannel it Somewhere or the TCN will do it themselves.

What causes grid collapse is not a deflection of small MW in the generation pool. It has to be a major disruption that is SIGNIFICANT enough to create imbalance within short time, making it impossible for the S.O. to react immediately.

You have a generation pool of 4000MW, and a sudden problem occurs at the transmission line, which takes out almost 500MW off. This is significant enough to cause grid collapse.

Even that 500MW, it has to be so fast that the S.O. cannot react at the immediate point.

Disruption like 10MW, 20MW is not significant enough, and it's usually handled by the S.O. or even the disco

Other ways to maintain the grid without collapsing is to have the full and complete use of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA).

This will make it easy for the S.O. to react faster and save the grid from collapsing.

Spinning reserve is also another option

But we do not have enough generation talkless of having a spinning reserve 😅😅

Reserve means a situation where demand is increasing, and you're matching up the demand by increasing supply immediately 😅

After grid collapses, the S.O. will immediately order the restoration or start off of power plants again. They usually call it black start.

They initiate the power plant and begin to give electricity to strategic discos gradually

It's a normal process, just like when your circuit breaker trips off, then you fix it and on your light again.

This is why the grid will collapse, and they will restart it before the news even go out. By the time its in the news, some people will be saying, but we have light😂

Need to also mention that some power plants are not connected to the grid, and there is partial collapse and system-wide collapse. These can also be the reason why someone from a far away remote location can be claiming to have light when the grid collapses.

Defender of the government for free. Who employed you to speak for the government.

You can comment without insult.

I have friends and families that their wards are attending Model Colleges in Lagos. And none of them can feed their wards with N1,000 per day. So 100,000 to feed an adolescent in this economy is not bad. I personal scolded one them few weeks ago when raised the issue while discussing.

Mind you most of them are ready to pay 50,000 monthly meal support to corrupt school officials. Why can't they pay 100k and insist of good meals.

Meanwhile 99% of parents have paid the new hostel levies. Those still behind the protest were people benefiting from the inadequacy.

The Parents are free to withdraw their wards from the Boarding and change to them to day students.

This is not a crime, he has committed no offence. Except it's under Sharia law.

It's a crime under Penal Code. Northern Nigeria practice Penal Code.

doggedfighter:
But nothing wrong with 2 consenting adults meeting and fulfilling each others needs.

They agreed to be with each other.

Or is it because he's a commissioner ?

It's a crime under Penal Code. Northern Nigeria practice Penal Code. It is under Common law that is otherwise.

NewHe:
What if he was set up, fear woman, by the way which law of the Federal Republic prohibits consensual relationship between adults?

It is a crime in Penal Code, the north practice Penal Code while the southern Nigeria practice Common Law.

Fine but very stupid girl

Is your life and destiny tied to a corrupt and undisciplined Army?

Are you destined to be raped and abused for nothing

She is beginning to appear truly unstable as alleged by her rapists

You don't get her point. With the military panel verdict it means that she is insane which put a very big dent on her image, personality and any of her future endeavours.

If the military fail to review of case she should apply for an independent psychiatric evaluation on her own and sue the military for damages and wrongfully terminating her appointed if the result confirmed her to be sane and of sound mind

Emotions should be dropped at this stage for rational, pragmatic approach and political solution. As Fubara camp lacks judiciary dexterity to defeat Wike.

Governor Fubara is already in a quagmire and the implications is very huge.

The budget and budgetary spending now becomes misappropriation

RSiEC gone
All Commissioners gone
Activities of the above thus becomes null and void

Realtruth2023:
Again Ojukwu never arrested Boro stop the lies. The army unit came from 3rd division to quell the secession of Adaka Boro. Even Boro himself was not sincere with the secession as he wanted a Niger delta of only Ijaws, so what happens to the other tribes in the Niger Delta?
It was no secret that Balewa was using Boro to cause division in the Eastern region so that he will create a situation similar to what he successfully did in the Western region.
Whe Balewa was killed Boro decided to take matters in his hands.

3rd was under who's jurisdiction?

Realtruth2023:
Did he abolish regions? That is the question here? No he didn't. The structure was still there he decided that regions should be called collection of provinces, and in hindsight what is the definition of a region? It is a collection of provinces.
You guy claim to be educated, but cannot make deductive reasoning all because you are blinded by hatred and bigotry.

He abolished every structure that makes Regions. He abolished ethnic and cultural group. In the first Republic most of the political parties were owned by the ethnic nations and sociocultural groups.

What Aguyi Ironsi did was worst than abolition of regional government. He abolished Federalism which the regional government stood on so in essence the regional government was gone with the abolition of Federalism. When a country being a Federation then the center control everyone.

Stop playing ostrich.

gidgiddy:
You don't know what a Republic is? A Republic simply means you are self governing. Nigeria was a Republic since October 1 1960

Nigeria was a Republic before the Coup yes, but a Federation and practice Federalism. Aguiyi Ironsi abrogated Federalism with Decree 34. When a Republic stop practicing Federalism it is only left with Unitary.

Why did Aguyi Ironsi arrested Adaka Boro through Odumekwu Ojuku?

Adaka Boro decided to secede Niger Delta from Nigeria due to the abrogation of Federalism, which is tantamount to end of regional government.

Aguyi Ironsi arrested Isaac Adaka Boro through Ojukwu and sentenced him to death.
For every action there is equal and opposite reaction.

9gerian:
Exactly. After the coup, the remnants of the government’s cabinet actually tried to continue especially as the coup had been quashed.

Some accounts have it that Ironsi stopped them, and with the collaboration of Nwafor Orizu transferred power to himself under the guidance of Azikiwe who was in constant communication monitoring the ensuing outcome of events.

In other words, the coup did not destroy regional autonomy. It was Ironsi stepping in as a military head of state, and a few months later promulgating the unification decree 34 of May 1966.

The trajectory could have been different had Ironsi remained a professional soldier, and kept the military out of the whole equation after the coup. Well, he took a chance and risked Nigeria’s fragile democracy and with it its development.

May God bless you abolition of Nigeria as a Federation but a Republic was done by Ironsi

Molested which woman and her husband with gun? Were you offline when the woman said it wasn't Burna in particular but he was the known face in that circle, so she believes they are close friends and he is culpable? He has had his goofs, but this is definitely not one of them.

It is good you don't take him serious. Take yourself serious first.

OK, thanks

@Ausxtan an herbalist will not call you at that time of the night. It is a scam and someone close to you is involved.

Is it ñot same Burnaboy that molested a married woman and bullied the husband with a gun before running out of the Country that time.

He is a bully. Since that incident I don't take him serious

@Yinabim please be strong and fight for your right. You need a good lawyer. Don't allow anyone to guilty trip you. You are not wrong to marry a divorcée.

You need to put the Lady in Australia in her place.

May God continue to guide and protect you. Aameen

Very beautiful design and advance brake system from Nord

Softmirror:
Same negligence was what caused the massive flood in Borno. We are a very careless religiously hypocritical nation. We take too many things for granted. I was about crossing the road when a bike man followed 'one way'. Thank God I noticed on time. So many have been killed due to this negligence without any penalty for these killers. Just another example.

Any enforcement officer either within private or government institutions should be very firm but Nigerians always castigates such people as being too strict, and of abnormal behaviour

OfficialMrOt:
Moving to Lagos and I have thought about these 3 places
Gbagada: with easy access to island
Magodo: easy access to Ikeja
Surulere: this I have no idea

Between these places which is better to live ?

Surulere is best in terms of transit, it is central, good night life and Secured.

Magodo is good if you are well loaded. Gbagada too is nice but you won't enjoy both Gbagada and Magodo if you are not on ride. And they are both dangerous at night, but in Surulere you can easily find your way no matter what the time says.

PLEASE don't ever buy new house in Magodo and Gbagada unless you which to demolish it and rebuild. I have witnessed many collapsing building in Magodo and Gbagada due to my nature of work. They will sale the house because it is tilting but only a building expert will know. Most part of Magodo and Gbagada requires pile foundation.
