Well, when PDP was in power, the power supply was bad...and then GEJ privatised power in 2013, which ended government responsibility for improving generation and distribution...just transmission.

The main issue is, power companies cannot charge cost reflective tarrifs for most nigerians. And before privatisation, that was the same problem NEPA had, plus from 1980 onward, every governor was connecting villages and cities to the grid, without thinking about how they will pay for the thing.

I am disagreeing with you not because I support tinubu, I effing don;t, but because our power supply problems have more to do with nigerians not paying cost reflective tarrifs for decades. And this has become more important since privatization

Also, many of you act as if there has been no privatization, as if government is still doing NEPA. They ain't.

In Ivory coast, they don't have blackouts...since 1990, not because they have better government (the instability in Ivory coast since 1990 is worse than the benign peace of Houphouet -Boigny before he died.)...but because they decided to implement cost reflective tarrifs. This allowed investment into the sector to flow in, heck the World Bank even gave them a loan self...and there have been no blackouts for decades. Only folk who were born before 1985 recall blackouts. Again Ivory coast has AND still has corruption, tribalism(even xenophobia!), a civil war, and a millitary and civillian coup, and another sit tight leader called Ouattara...yet power is stable there compared to nigeria, because cost reflective tarrifs.

Whereas we in nigeria will blame every leader, blame corruption, blame this , blame that...but then bypass our meter, or underpay for power used, and then expect power to come on for 24 hours a day, seven days a week...on what money? Imaginary money? And of course no investment. Even the discos...three of them were handed over to the banks, and they are cutting jobs to survive because people don';t want to pay cost reflective tarrifs.


You all want free electricity, yet you don;t want to accept it costs money.

Tinubu is a bad president, like his predecessors, but on power, make we face some home truths, even tinubu is dodging paying for light by switching to solar. That;s a loss in revenue.

Talk true. Was it half this bad during Jonathan's administration?

helinues:
We have been reading about improvement in other areas, your areas own might be artificial issue

Really? I was thinking it was only here in Osogbo. Sometimes, we barely have up to 4 hours of electricity in our own part of the town. Even the Band A people are no longer enjoying electricity as much as before.

WriterNig:
🇷🇺 Russian Presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky has announced that Russia and Ukraine carried out another exchange of the bodies of fallen servicemen under agreements reached in Istanbul, Türkiye.

He said that 🇺🇦 Ukraine received the bodies of 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers, while Russia was handed over the remains of 26 Russian servicemen, The Caspian Post reports via Russian media.

Medinsky recalled that in late October, as part of the same Istanbul arrangements, Russia had transferred 1,000 bodies to Kyiv, while the Ukrainian side returned 31 bodies.

Same report everytime.

Nonso92:
This kind of super story ehn!

He was found in a nearby bush where he was last seen and has been missing since June.

Since June none of the 13 officers thought to check in the nearby bushes where he was last seen for the past 6 months till now.

Going back there would give them PTSD🙄.

Jospenboy:
Hunnnn. As how now , how will i explain to my neighbour. That people lose there virginity at 19.6 years

Average now. You never do mean, median and mode before?

olaiya2007:
See how you're disgracing yourself when you won't read to understand

That reason does not add up. Fuel spillage does not explode in different places at the same time like you deduced or insinuated. Think about it.
Unless the situation was not properly reported.

mikeapollo:
Please can you give more clarity?
I had a cousin who went into Coconut farming, but he died just when the coconut trees were starting to bear fruits

Why then are you asking for clarity again?

owobokiri:
Fake propaganda by the West to stop Russia from helping African States

Propaganda indeed! Was that the only news agency that reported such?

Maj196:
But I got 3k for 20GB in MyArea

You still see "my area"? They blocked mine immediately prices changed.

TheFreshVanilla:
Omisore of all people. Shior!!

Abi! Is that not a shame?

Ole gbogbo.

Truejihadistont:
Anyone who cares

And how do you check it? If you don't like their culture, why troop in there?

Truejihadistont:
European slutiness should be checked abeg.
That's why they don't stay in marriages

Checked by who?

adedayourt:
A dear friend of mine who is a female muslim told me a similar thing about herself and i cudnt understand.

She said on religious basis, her brothers are allowed to marry non-muslim but for her she dare not do same, she must marry a musilm

Left to her she can marry a non-muslim but she fear what her family would do.

reading this now, what she said is now making sense to me.

I don't understand why this religion don't treat their female fairly as with the male

Because the men will convert their wives into Islam while she on the other hand will have been converted out of it. The first scenario grows the religion while hers shrinks it. Hope you get the analogy.

budaatum:
Why?

I've been told local government staff have been on strike since February and the state has not been receiving their allocation, yet wages are being paid, including some owed by the past APC government. (Note, this needs confirmation please). While the APC government Adeleke took over from paid half wages every three months.

Will Osun State want to return to ⅛ of their annual wage where the state is the largest employer?

The info is quite correct sir.

enemyofprogress:
They are two different shops. Stop deceiving people with fake news.

It's the same shop joor. Try and watch again. Very much the same shop.

Dotherightthing:
I thought elected officials were automatically entitled to police escorts

Are NSCDC officials less qualified? I learnt they were not left in the lurch, but were going to be reassigned NSCDC officials. Is there anything wrong with that?

manuelkel:
Oga, if your wife report you to the ministry of human rights with proofs you are a gunner ooo, I'm not talking about reaching out to human rights activists, I'm referring to reaching out to the ministry of human rights.
The man go fill undertaking form him sense go come back.
It happened to my own sis, hers was that her husband wasn't even physically aggressive on her but he failed to take his responsibilities while everyone knew he was capable of it.
No allow illiteracy scatter your children life ooo, if you have issues with your spouse and you have kids solve it as an educationist instead of running away leaving your kids behind as a woman. Tufiakwa!

This doesn't really work well when it involves assault and battery o.

Na with one eye the woman fit dey sleep o.

manuelkel:
What happened to reporting to human rights??
Most times na illiteracy dey make some marriages cast. None of them fit reason as educationist.

Human rights will stop the man from beating the woman while under the same roof? Or, can they prevent the man from stabbing and killing the wife?

If the wife knows the husband's tendencies, it will be a foolish thing for her to keep living with the man and reporting him to human rights.

slivertongue:
They will all return home. There shall be confusion in the camp of the enemies

Amen 🙏

KingAzubuike:
Aren't you away these fulani steal uniforms , iDs and other exhibits of soldiers they kill?

And when they steal the ID, they steal their faces too? You are very funny 😁 😂 😀

BlakKluKluxKlan:
Usual crocodile tears from the hypocritical bigots of Nigeria a.k.a the (I)rational (P)eoples (O)f (B)iterness.


Our memories are not as short as yours.
It started during the Ibo-dominated government of GEJ.

Chibok girls, the highest so far, were abducted during his tenure.
Very useless people known for victim mentality.
It is your ordained portion to always shed tears and continue you will.

I hope you know you are wrong. Buhari brought banditry to Nigeria. We were truly struggling with the Boko Haram terrorists before ISWAP also grew wings and banditry now joined -- all working for the same goal.

dangermouse:
Logical, but then doing so would defeat the main purpose of the scheme which is national integration.

It no longer has meaning. With the rate and level of insecurity present in Nigeria, NYSC no longer has any meaning.

yarimo:
This is where Lt yarima need to go and show order from above

Please, stop displaying foolishness. People are dying here trying to rescue innocent children and what are you doing? Throwing shades at orderlies just because they are orderlies.
If you don't know the meaning of orderly, please try and keep quiet.

Kindly try to show some remorse over this unpleasant situation created by the unseriousness of the government.

pigmania:
Funny guy, is he also saying that all legal documents would be irrelevant?

After 12 years? Yes.

It's always good to chase away any unwanted illegal occupants within the vicinity of one's property.

yarimo:
People are just reacting because of hate against WIKE, they are not looking it in other angle. Now military can do anyhow to you with this kind of encouragement from the public

How exactly are you supposed to come into fracas with a military officer? How?

mascot87:
Wike did not lose. Rule of law lost. Civilian lost against military. This shows that Military can do anything they like and nothing will happen. The Nigerian people lost. Democracy lost.
So tomorrow, military can do anything to Nigerians and nothing will happen.
They can bully anybody and it will be in vain.
Military authority won against Democratic Authority even in the face of military illegality.

Last last, na all of us go collect... If you celebrate this, then you are celebrating future pains that will be meted on you by the military because you cannot escape it

Nigerians lost? How did we lose, if I may ask? What do you think is going to be different exactly with what happened in this case?

Corrupt Wike does not represent the Nigerian civilians in this case; he was representing himself.
Who told you that sane Nigerians argue with military men at every chance they've got, or act rashly just because they feel it's democracy?

If you are that concerned about Nigerians winning against oppression by uniformed men, why don't you start your "campaign" with the police officers? Police officers are not even as polite and calm as those naval officers, so what exactly are you saying here?

Ikaeniyan0:
Wike was carrying out his duty, only the Navy lieutenant deserve to be court marital

Really?

Alex80s:
Do research before you talk Oga. There is nothing like military hierarchy!! Soldiers are bound to take (legal) orders , constitutional orders. Soldiers don't take orders to commit crime . Check the Nigerian constitution , supreme Court judgements and other judicial precedent about that. In developed Countries, soldiers resign for failing their country.

What the young officer and his Boss did was corrupt ; using influence and status to prevent Wike from doing his job. Wike was appointed by the President to take charge of Abuja. A military officer using his status to block the Minister from doing his job amount to abandoning his duty to protect Nigeria against foreign aggression instead went to stand guard in a piece of land. What a shame.

In

You mean razing the building down?

dollytino4real:
ok, d reason i said disrespect is that line of ( i am a military officer) is wat i don't like

But if the military didn't block in this case, they would have demolished the building in question.
