If prayers were working Akpabio being a Nigerian politician would not be alive by now, let alone taking treatment in UK.

I prefer democracy, but I still think there should be some form of mental evaluation before allowing people to elect their leaders most especially in Africa. How can you elect a leader because you were gifted rice, salt, corn, cutlass , wrapper, worthless notes, etc?

Tactically it's a big problem to attempt to go to war with them. Those 3 countries represent 60% of the land mass of West Africa and with access to the sea through Guinea and Guinea Bisau and Algeria being friendly towards them, it will not be walk in the park. It will destabilise the whole region and open opportunities for Islamic terrorists to wreck more havoc on the region. Attacking the AES countries will be a massive blunder only someone totally mad will attempt

That's what you think, but wars are not fought on nairaland's comments section.

Can those 3 countries fight ECOWAS, and can they seek international support that will be higher than that of ECOWAS countries? ECOWAS can seek international support too, they stand no chance as far as ECOWAS and Nigeria is concerned, not only Nigeria all countries have their own internal issues. Stop making unnecessary beer parlour analysis.

Same Allah that couldn't fight for him/shimself. Blood sucking terrorists financier.

Wahala everywhere even for the rich and poor

So in other words the rag tag looking bandits are more sophisticated and technologically smart that the ministry of information and technology despite the billions being budgeted for the ministry. Na Ogun go kee all of Una corruption infested souls.

Poor descision, even though the T&C of such a deal was not made public. What happens if she dies early, business folded up, issues of inflation?

All android TVs are smart TV but not all smart TVs are android TVs. Smart TVs OS are mainly manufacturers specific as such the available apps are somehow limited and determined by manufacturers unlike android.

And for those asking of what uses are apps on an android TV when there are more than enough app on your phones already? Android TV offers a lot of choice in apps selection. Apps like onstream can give you good video contents be it action movies, commentary, or any other program with sleek subtitles and preferred country choices of movies, unlike the trashes on YouTube. Lots of kids learning apps like khan academy and others, For me I prefer android TV by far anytime anyday.

A clear conscience fears no accusations, if his hands are clean let him go and defend himself. EFCC arrest is not a jail term sentence, prove your innocence no be chochocho!!

Can anyone proof me wrong.
Because they have no impart on the life of their younger ones.
They prefer to help stranger than to uplift their younger ones

For the fact that you experienced the uselessness of elder brothers in your family firsthand doesn't give you the yardstick to appropriate figures carelessly.
Lost our parents early our elder brother stood firmly and trained all of using the proceeds of our late parents house rent, and his menial hustle pay. Till date that property is still not shared among us, everybody takes turn in rent collection like osusu.
Do you even know the pressure that comes with being an elder brother?

Ogun kee you and Okowa with him surplus teeth there

Why should 4 people be using 1 meter in the first place? So if one has a water heater and carelessly put it on, everybody will bear the consequences. For this one I no do.

nairalanda1:
So why do you oppose cost reflective tarrifs?

That shows you want power for free .

Can you please point out where I opposed cost reflective tariff? You don't expect me to pay cost reflective tariffs when I'm shouldering the responsibilities of disco. I will gladly pay cost reflective tariff when they start taking responsibilities. Engaging you is nothing more like beating a dead horse, I've wasted too much time in ELI5 to you. My last response is this.

nairalanda1:
In brief, you want power for free.

That's not possible.

Good morning

If this is what you arrived at, then I blame for myself for the time wasted in beating a dead horse.

nairalanda1:
Because they won't earn profits, or attract investment otherwise.

We aren't under NEPA things since 2013.

I don't think you understood the question I asked, read it slowly so you will understand it.

Denying a problem does not mean the problem doesn't exist.

I also suggest you run a business where 19% of your consumers pay you the appropriate price, while the rest underpay or not pay at all for your service. You will soon see why.

There are various customers tiers in business. There are customers that businesses go the extra limits for in terms of services offered because, they are very confident of these customers paying for the extra service rendered. What stops Discos from doing this?

You sound like a father who does not give his child food, and expects him to do his chores and come first in class every term.

Lazy excuses, and chasing shadows, people will pay for reliable service rendered. A good number of Nigeria homes still spent heavily on fueling their generators, they will gladly pay for reliable power.

nairalanda1:
You foot the bills for transformers, electric polies, meters and maintenance, because you don't pay a cost reflective tarrif, therefore your local disco cannot make the profit needed to do that effortlessly for you, so you end up doing it.

That has been the problem since we had NEPA.

And what makes you think if the Discos are ready to take full responsibility, for reliable and efficient power people won't pay cost reflective tariffs?
Nigeria erratic and poor power supply has nothing to do with people not paying cost reflective tariffs.

nairalanda1:
Southy also charges cost reflective tarrifs compared to Nigeria.

To the point that sometimes power prices can jump up twice in a month.

And even then, they don't have enough power self.

Nigeria where sixty percent of people bypass meters, meaning power companies operate at a loss, meaning they cannot supply power effectively

And before you start, aba power company was supplying 24 hour a day power and people were complaining of how expensive it was. Same thing with band a people

Nigerians think electricity is free. That's why we don't have light. Even government owes discos and gencos self.

How will I pay cost reflective tariffs as Nigerian consumer when i foot the bills for buying of transformers, electric poles, meters, and maintaining them, Is it supposed to be my responsibility as a consumer?

Parasitic North that will not allow this country to progress. They will rather budget billions for hajj.

Disgraced country of concern, who can't protect her citizens.

Kemetian:
Ghana has 25 million people.

They should have no problems with such a tiny population that is less than Lagos.

Egypt and Algeria BOTH saw far greater colonial infrastructural development than black African countries.

If you visited Cairo or Algiers in the 1960s, they were like SOUTH AFRICA too.

LAGOS WAS BUSH, apart from Ikoyi where the colonial thieves lived.

BY THE WAY, ACCORDING TO AI CHATGPT, BRITAIN OWES NIGERIA $50 TRILLION FOR HER PLUNDER OF THE COUNTRY.

Our underdevelopment today is caused by THEM.

THEY LOOTED THIS COUNTRY FOR A WHOLE CENTURY AND PUT NOTHING BACK.

THAT'S WHY WE ARE PLAYING CATCHUP TODAY.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR HISTORY, YOU WILL LEARN IT BY FORCE.

And Nigerian politicians owes Nigeria how much for looting? There will always be excuses for failures.

Positions like this Nigeria takes the lead if the counting starts from behind. Giant of Africa for anything rubbish.

With this for a gift I will say back to sender. Ogbeni this na iron condemn na!!

That's how it feels for now, just like when Gboys are taking olosho to various clubs, eating barbeque, drinking moet, and making sex in exclusive hotel rooms. But when the dusts settles they all cry had I know, we hope you don't later on.

bigcasava1:
Borrow sense, America owns the dollar even they are owing it will still not affect their economy. Is it not we own in Nigeria than in dollar

Borrow education and learn how to express yourself okay?

lilsmart:
Poverty is the root of all crimes

It is not, people kill for religion.

malali:
No comfortable person wants to die. Trust me.These people are easily hired because poverty in the north is very high. Can you hire Dangote's child to go and do banditry and kidnapping ?

Some people in the north dont have access to 20k naira from January to December. These people will commit crimes for 10k naira, they dont care about what the optics look like,

That's childish, those farming in the north, rolling wheelbarrows morning to night, riding keke and motorcycles don't know how to steal or kidnap? A man caught red handed on top of someone else's wife, will always have a reason why he did what he did. Stop using poverty to justify insecurity, that's childish and lazy thinking.

malali:

All the insecurity in Naija is as a result of poverty. If Musa Obinna and Bayo had 3 square meals, a comfortable accommodation and a business which is thriving. No one will entice them with funds to come and do banditry,kidnapping or other vices.

We are running away from the real cause of the problems and chasing shadows.

So based on your analogy it is poverty that made people go into worship centers and started shooting, and bombing them? You need serious beating.

Even America is owing trillions of $ is what they will tell you. But when it comes to comparing standard of living in both countries, they start to shift goal post. Somebody say bambiala borrow, borrow.

Wahala!!! still on day 2 since? We no go loose more than 1 sack of rice money before December 25 like this?
