Only sure way kee you there, why not make money with Ur sure way and overtake Elon Musk as the world richest man, poverty na sugar wey dey sweet you?

Ferebiekunake:
Why then did WAEC and later in the years NECO introduce exams for external candidates who are already done with their SS3 class? Students in SS3 do NOT repeat that class.

So, you can't possibly remain in secondary school till you're in your 30s.

Is it a crime to remain in, or go back to secondary school when you're 30+?

Only an EWU will be in Tompolo's shoe and not work for PBAT. For 1 person to donate 10B to a state government, you nor know weytin full him body? And you expect that same person not to worship and adore the man wey make him body full? You know how many ex militants put eye for that him contract?

Ferebiekunake:
No. There's no maximum age for SSCE.

But could one be 30-something plus and still legally sit for INTERNAL WAEC reserved for SS3 students?

Yes, is it a crime for 30+ to sit for an INTERNAL WAEC exam?

Truth be told credits must be given to Tinubu for having the courage to remove petrol subsidy and floating the ₦, even though there were glaring flaws in the implementation. You can"t remove subsidy and still be paying same subsidy behind the backdoor. Governors are busy flexing huge federal allocations, while the citizens are languishing in abject poverty. GEJ had the opportunity to make history then, but ogbeni goofed because he was timid.

Russia and Japan make una no start oh!! But no be today Russia dey control that place Na. Make I go buy shovel and cutlass make I begin dig my own underground tunnel by now 😆 😆

Ogbeni there is no maximum age limit for WAEC, before you call for investigation on someone, uself investigate ur own education. I'm not one of his supporters, but make una allow Okpebholo fail in peace.

Lol the lion won't agree with you if you tell it that it is not the strongest animal
Which animal is now stronger than the lion then ?I am all ears.

Lots of animals are stronger than the lion Elephants, Rhinoceros, Hippocampus, even Apes one on one go do lion strong thing. A single lion on its own can not bring down a full size adult of any of these animals. If we remove size a tiger or a bear go still do lion strong thing, no be snake kill am so? The lion's king of the jungle status na just metaphor.

The lion's "King of the Jungle" status has nothing to do with it being the strongest animal in the jungle. It is because their symbolism is remarkably similar to human ideas of kingship. The male's lion mane resembles a human King crown around his head, males defend and control territories like rulers, and lions sit near the top of the food chain (Odogu status). These characteristics made the lion a natural symbol of power, authority, dominance, and royalty. Zebra fit kick lion bone break, but him go first pick race when him see lion.

Tomorrow when you join anoda party, you will even say this very interview video is AI, no be una way?

Anything Nigerian dey always get comma

You lie not everybody wants to cash out a lot of people have integrity and that's what matters in this country your tinubu has destroyed his control say the truth

Me Tinubu supporter, who open door for you? Bia Uche bring the chain and the padlock fast.

That year my neighbours children go help me do all my house chores just because I go allow them enter house to watch Papa Ajasco, Binta and friends, Super story, and what have you.

We go trek to and fro school, just to use our transport fares to rent CD plates, if dem no put picture of gun or 2 fighting for the CD packet, the drama no go be action movie then. Fun child hood memories.

Serves him right, no RIP to waste go rot in hell.

Super stories, same Bvas wey go fail to work dying minutes to election. Ogbeni given the human and most importantly Nigerian factor, an election in Nigeria without rigging will be considerd too good to be true. Na humans go still operate Bvas.

Imagine a one room apartment with 7 inhabitants VS a 3 bed room apartment with 4 inhabitants per bedroom.

Total inhabitants 1 room: = 7
Total inhabitants 3 bedrooms = 12

At first glance which of the apartments will look more crowded between the single 1 room apartment vs the 3 bed room apartment?

CharlesCNG:
Davido is overstepping. Election season is for politicians to scrutinise one another. If critics call Adeleke a "dancing governor," they are commenting on a public image his supporters celebrate.
His uncle academic records have also been the subject of public controversy and litigation.
Family ties do not confer immunity from political criticism. If Davido disagrees, let him answer with facts—not demand silence.

Ogbeni Na you set boundary for am wey e overstep Abi?

Heartless terrorist father, if the reverse was the case, they would have killed both father and child.

Who ask una, weytin come out from Yahaya Bello investigation? useless EFCC

Ex0rrcist:
Did you refer to Eminem as noise?

When you no dey understand weytin person dey talk, no be noise you go call am? The guy is probably not understanding Eminem's lyrics, hence the noise remark. Davido will be ready to do 10 days fasting and prayer to be in Eminem's level.

dollytino4real:
is evu abi na witchcraft

Lol!! none of the above, you think say Na only human Sabi adapt to their environment? We mixed roasted fish with rat poison, rats jump the fish pass dem no gree eat am, then we packaged the fish in a take away pack, open one part of the take away pack, before day break the stubborn rats loot the whole fish from the pack, till date I no see rats for my store house again.

There are levels to everything where your own end, Na there another person own start. Ordinary man go see chatting with Davido as big thing, same thing Davido go feel chatting with Ronaldo, same thing Ronaldo go feel chatting with Trump.

What makes you think gheghe destroyed himself, are you his account officer or social media officer? That guy wants to trend good or bad, so him go always try to make controversy stuff once in a while. The marriage brouhaha even made him more popular. Last last Na the mugus wey see am as Lord and saviour for relationship stuff go use head carry am.

No worry Elon Musk dey prepare something for you, by this time next year, you go see pass Tinubu supporters wey their 2 eyes open.

When it comes to national elective positions northerners name no dey ever commot, but when it becomes to revenue generation dem go enter bambiala mode.

Professor of economy/olodo uprising
"Bro, I get the economic theory you're pushing—the classic 'let market forces dictate prices and remove government distortion.' And yes, everybody knows the old subsidy regime had leakages and that DisCos have efficiency issues.

But your argument relies on a **massive economic fallacy**: treating electricity like a normal commercial good (like shoes or phones) instead of a **socially essential infrastructure

Here is why your logic falls apart in real-world policy:

Electricity is a Natural Monopoly, Not a Free Market
You mentioned 'forces of demand and supply' and 'removing monopoly.' That shows a basic misunderstanding of power distribution. You cannot have 5 different DisCos running parallel high-voltage cables and transformers down the same street to create competition. Distribution is a *natural monopoly* by physical design. Without government regulation and price caps (or targeted subsidies), a private monopoly will simply extract maximum profit from captive consumers who have zero alternative choices.

The Band A Reality: The Subsidy IS Already Targeted
You claimed the subsidy isn't targeted. That’s literally the entire point of the Band A tariff migration! The government intentionally removed subsidies for Band A users (who are mostly higher-income areas and commercial hubs receiving 20+ hours of power) precisely to redirect fiscal support toward lower-band consumers who cannot absorb a 200%+ price shock overnight. That is targeted intervention.

Removing Subsidies Without Purchasing Power = Mass Default, Not Efficiency
In pure economics, if a population suffering from multi-dimensional poverty is exposed to full cost-reflective tariffs without income growth, they don't 'adjust to demand and supply'—they simply disconnect, steal power, or default. DisCos won't magically collect 100% of revenue just because subsidy stops; their collection losses will actually spike because poorer households literally cannot afford ₦200+/kWh.

Global Precedent: Even Advanced Economies Subsidize Power
Show me one developing nation that achieved 100% electrification purely on un-subsidized, free-market tariffs without government capital intervention or targeted social tariffs. Even the UK and EU spent tens of billions of Euros in energy subsidies during the recent inflation crisis to protect households and businesses from price collapse.

Bottom line: Nobody is saying DisCos shouldn't be metered or held accountable for performance—they absolutely should, and the NERC needs to enforce strict regulatory penalties on them. But mistaking regulatory failure for subsidy failure, and demanding total market shock for impoverished citizens, isn't economic wisdom—it's theoretical dogma that ignores real-world poverty dynamics."

You talked about "removing monopoly" in power distribution, which reveals dat u doesn't understand that distribution grids are physical *natural monopolies* (you can't build 3 sets of power poles on one road).
Professor even wealthy, free-market Western countries subsidize electricity during economic stress.

Ogbeni you no fit even edit your AI epistles, so true true you be really class prefect for Hollodo uprising class? See how ur village people use AI take embarrass you. For your information electricity is not a natural monopoly, generating it can be very competitive you dey hear me? Western countries don't subsidise electricity by writing fat checks to electricity distribution companies, their customers makes the payments, which means distribution companies must first render the service , then collect their money from these customers for the service rendered, not the government giving them fat checks, that is called a targeted subsidy not the bailout for discos inefficiencies you call subsidy here.

There are people using band A and they are not paying for it, discos are then shifting the losses from those not paying to unmetered Band B, C, D, and E users which the government now has to pay. Since December last year band E users in my street have not witnessed electricity due to a vandalised armoured cable. They raised ₦4.5M to fix it, 3 days later a break in attempt was made, now they are trying to raise ₦500k to fix the issue caused by the break in. But Discos steadily dey bring estimated bill every month, and government go still pay subsidy for these bills, for light wey people no use, does it makes sense to you?

Government should first remove subsidy and let Discos perform their core responsibilities, which are efficiently distributing electricity (installing poles, transformers, electric cables, etc), metering everybody, strictly monitoring for energy losses due to cable breaks, energy theft etc, all with the sole aim of receiving true cost reflective tariffs. Any Disco or Genco that don't have the financial capacity to do all these will be sold or merged to those that can (ogbeni Na weytin I mean by breaking monopoly be this). After all this can the government come in and say ok, Nigerians this is what we will do for you, we will give each household or very vulnerable and poor people electricity payment incentives inform of vouchers, tax reliefs, buying you a fixed amount of electricity units monthly, weekly, yearly, or however the case may be, only then can the subsidy be targeted to those who truly need it. Not the open market father Christmas approach we are using currently, skydiv explain these things well even pass me, go read him posts here make you ask questions for where you no understand and stop being an hollodo.

Lovelink1991:
The evidence is there in the video and those who ate the food their lifeless body is there. This is not a content that you will start shouting fake. A word is enough for the wise

2 dead bodies and a wall gecko on a pot of soup is not enough evidence to prove that it was the wall gecko on the soup that killed them, of course there is a possibility though. On their own wall geckos are not poisonous but they carry bacterias like Salmonella which are poisonous.

That aside, why people dey always like open their pot of soup down? My neighbour dey always do this thing, kitchen window dem no go close because window get net, pot of soup dem go cover half, open half down just because dem dey stay for gated compound.

Person go just dey alone dey Jones him tom by himself until he cum, ogbeni I no follow for that thing abeg, e no dey make sense to me 1bit.

Leepeak:
Let’s keep it factual: Band A was designed for 20+ hours at a cost-reflective rate. That works for businesses and high-income areas. But a blanket removal of subsidy across a population where 60%+ live in multidimensional poverty isn't sustainable either. True reform isn't just throwing citizens into un-subsidized rates; it's expanding grid capacity and raising living standards so people can actually afford the power."

"Imagine bragging about paying ₦209/unit in an economy where millions earn less than ₦100k. Nobody said petrol gen is cheap; the point is that policy must match reality, not just middle-class comfort. Calling people 'olodo' while confusing individual affordability with national economic policy just shows who is actually lacking perspective."
So technically who be olodo uprising

Ogbeni you are not getting it hence my use of hollodo uprising statement. The current subsidy structure is causing more harm than good to the same multi dimensional poverty people, awuf dey run belle is very true in this subsidy case. The people that really need this subsidy are not being targeted, rather it is the Discos who are using them to cash out. Imagine a father paying school fees for a child who is not attending school, but the school continue collecting school fees from the father every term, that is what is happening with electricity subsidy.

Discos can't meter all their customers, can't collect all their money from those customers who owe them, can't check and punish those who are using their electricity for free all because dem put hope for subsidy payment wey government wan give them.That thing wey we dey call subsidy Na bailout and cash out format to discos. Not until the government stops it, remove monopoly, and allow the forces of demand and supply to dictate the true cost of electricity, our power sector no go ever work even if dem pay ₦10T subsidy for electricity. Go through @Skydiv posts on this thread to understand how subsidy is the main chain that is dragging our power sector backwards.
