Nice one. The good step in the right direction

Since you said it a good step pls can u pls explain it to us that dont understand in a layman term sir.

For where? Let him be grandstanding.

These country is like watching India movie. No wonder they will die in politics.

Oya, you fit earn millions legitimately as a minister

this man was earning billions as a minister

Haa is that possible pls to earn such money has a minister?

shortgun:
He's a bigot, all of them.
Including the one in Redeem. They fought Jonathan because he's not from their tribe

But your pastors are not abi? We see them onscreen with thier tribal preaching. What do I call them. Let even say obi wins will u people criticise him? Must people from ur side won't he's not yet won ad we see how u pple always try to cover his wrongs. Those who live in glass house don't throw stones

I tell people the day you follow nigerian mouth that's the day you will make mistakes. The same one shouting kill them straight away for terriost to kidnappers to thieves are now shouting extra ordinary kill or wetin una call am. What do u people really want? Straight killing or take them to court?

MyExpression:
It's everywhere.
OPC, Amotekun, Hisbah...

It's not just south east, Nigeria is about to experience same with State police.
The troubles will come before we make suitable policies to improve the State policing laws.

—we don't even need state police, we only need the Governor to have some authority over the commissioners of police in the state, the commission can also defer to the IG in state matters, if the task is above him.

That's why I laugh sometime when they insult tinubu. Obj was a brutal ruler. He dismantled opc, those guy were useless idiots, if you stay at Ago palace way okota then, you will know thier headquarters was at century, those guys started behaving like gods, bunch of illiterates the day Army stormed century hotel it was like war.. omo see has those opc pick race, demola was trying to show himself boy one bullet d guy shouted, faseheun was thrown inside a black Maria I heard they dump him inside a cementry. It took the yoruba oba to plead on his behave the next time we saw babe he was like a skeleton. That was what destroyed opc strength with d coming up of gang Adams too.

Wickedfact:
Obi's supporters are tribalists.

Thay are people who blasted Peter Obi as Governor but are now supporting him because he's from their tribe.

When I saw lot of what they wrote about obi when he was a Governor I was shocked. I won't lie I voted obi the last election but I don't think I would vote this time.onething I like about timubi is his gut to stand those who feel the control nigeria, only pple like tinubu and obj has got that gut. Call them bluff and do the right thing. No politician is clean but trying to make one look so holy is laughable. Who will win will win.

essentialone:
And why are they all Igbo Ladies always exhibiting these toxic relationship drama on social media? From Regina Daniels to Doris Ogala to Ada Igbo to Anita Joseph. All are Igbo Ladies. Why always Toxic?

Why do u keep saying igbo ladies? Well I would rather pick a home grown woman of the tribe of igbo or northern than a yoruba or SS woman. I'm not saying they are no good women from the SS or Yoruba tribe but my top pick is igbo or a northern woman. A typical igbo pr northern have more respect for marriage than the other tribes.


You finger out those ones then Tey go online from tiktok to X check which tribes write trash or display rubbish online, they are mostly for the SW/ SS. Ci spoke the other day that if the igbo are not careful the kind of wokeness the SW/ SS are practicing will creep into their tribe and it will destory thier women, which is now happening.

PigTormentor:
So because Tinubu is a Muslim that mean we must have a Christian governor in my own state.?
A Christian has been the Governor for 3 terms already.
Go and face your own problems in your land, leave us alone. We didn't come your land, you came to ours and you can leave if you don't like our politics.
Every politics they say is local.

Don't mind them was Jonathan not a Christian and the governors in ss ad sE Christians too? They just want to bring in unnecessary confusion

Did I just see iphone 17 for the brides father? I don't think this list is real.

Pootle:
we have reduce the reliance of light from the government, a private company that can power an estate should be allowed to do so even if na 3street you fit supply light do am. this will lead to competition and boost efficiency. if this is done employment opportunity will increase too

So true but do nigerian have that kind of patience? Nigerians that want fast results like it's magic Nigerian want things cheap and free has far it's by Nigeria

Pootle:
this light issue we experiencing should be completely privatized. stop subsidizing it

Hmmmm u won't nigeria to burn abi? Subsidy is still causing problems u want them to privatize light... you just want them to finish tinubu finally.

[quote author=chimex38 post=139237171]Yeah true..Jonathan unfortunately caved in to PDP and their lots who had no finance to invest in the industry but instead took what was left of the already weak power system.

At least Prof company should have been allowed to bid and gotten a Disco or Genco slot or both since he had already resigned.
No conflict of interest here.
This is where Jonathan should have used his bottom executive powers.

And if his company is prevented from bidding, Jonathan should have made him remain as Minister despite the resignation pressure to spearhead the drafting of procurement process and criteria needed to choose the best hands as good as his company or even better in all the privatization process.

At least, in either case he would have still been in the system. Benefitting us from his expertise.

The "unpatriotic" word used by the other guy was just out of


it's nigeria loose and Abia gain. The mafia caucus didn't just want him, cos they wanted to milk and make money out of it, while the guy wanted to bring in expertise. I can bet you alot of people would having been shouting for him to get fired. But today he's a force

chimex38:
I know this... But it doesn't still negate what I said.

Do you think Prof. Nnaji doesn't benefit from the Aba Power projects both rightly and indirectly..
But who cares on a larger scale and pursuing the conflicting details If you can f**king deliver.
Do Abia residents care?
Or the State Govt




Do you think Wike didn't or doesn't still benefit from various projects with "conflict of interest" in River state and also in on-going projects in FCT?
Why his good ratings online in both RIVERS and FCT projects despite his shenanigans?

People with expertise, political will, highly motivated as well as influential by being connected to people that matter both national and international stage should be brought into the system one way or another.- they are scarce commodity.

Conflict of interest, taking kick-backs, though bad, but its a little price we can pay for now for the overall benefit to the nation especially to ordinary citizens for their survival until we stabilizes.
The Chinese and Lebanese we invite are even short changing us the worst. But because they deliver, we don't complain... It's fair and square. How much more our own naija blood?

Did you bother you also ask AI if the others who didn't have "conflict of interest" and have not been biased on contract award and not stolen from the privatization process, how they have delivered? Or how the "non- conflict of interest" by the privatized awardees has saved the country's power system and impacted the ordinary citizens positively?

Do you justify removal of a "bad" person because you have proof and allow worst persons cuz you don't have proof? but you know he isn't as good enough as the "bad person".
Even though you know you can tolerate the excesses of the bad person compared to what the "bad" person can deliver.?

Is this not a classic case of, the enemy you know is better than that angel you don't know? What has this angels done so far since 2015?

If he remained a Minister and thus will rightly give-up on his company bidding processes due to conflict of interest,
Why is It that when he resigned as Minister, his company wasnt even awarded any of the Discos or Gencos from the FG or at least multiple of them?.
Especially knowing his competence with his academic and industrial achievement as well as his Leadership in his short sting as Minister?
He lost both Ministerial position and contract to his firm at the same time...

He seem to only get a private job in Abia which he pursued passionately with Vigor and free will despite the so called "conflict of interest". and proved his competence.


Competence, expertise, political will, self motivation and international & local influence are scarce and hard to find in a person in this country.

We shouldn't quickly toss such persons away entirely who tick these boxes for the greater good on a national scale for just mere "conflict of interest".
There should always be ways to still bring them in on board. They are human capital assets we are just treating as liabilities due to a rule of law that in this specialized case, doesn't favour the greater good.
Laws are made for man, not man for the law. Exceptions can be given where necessary.
It's the Spirit of the law that matters.

You getting the whole issue. How can u sack one of the best brain you had cos of pressure from pdp cos those that wanted the disco were powerful people I don't need mention them. No politicians thay doesn't have instrest in deals. One of the places Jonathan displaced his weakness and has for him he didn't play his card well and he was eaten by the corrupt bigger fish.

persius555:
These were years of misrule by the present government. The Ossiomo power plant in edo state also benefitted from the financing framework.

As usual, APC devils came in and discontinued the project. Now, Edo metropolis that witnessed meaningful economic upliftment in the last dispensation has gone back to the locust days.

There's nothing these guys cannot destroy

Before you people accuss people find out the facts or you be termed has lieing. To straighten your wrong statement here are the facts.



The Ossiomo Power Plant did not permanently “disappear” — but it has been facing serious disruptions, shutdowns, and disputes, especially from 2022 to 2026.
Here’s the real situation, clearly explained:
⚡ 1. It actually worked well at first
The plant (about 55–95MW capacity) started around 2020.
It supplied reliable 22–24 hours power to:
Edo government buildings
Streetlights across Benin
Industrial parks and some communities �
edostate.gov.ng +1
👉 That’s why many people praised it — it was one of the few working state-backed power solutions in Nigeria.
⚠️ 2. First major problem: Gas supply sabotage (2022)
The plant suddenly stopped generating power at one point because:
Gas supply to it was tampered with / cut off
Edo State said this caused millions of dollars in losses �
edostate.gov.ng
👉 No gas = no electricity. That alone shut it down temporarily.
⚠️ 3. Bigger crisis: Ownership fight (2025–2026)
This is the main reason you’re hearing issues about it now:
There’s a serious dispute between:
Nigerian owners (Ossiomo Power)
Chinese partner CCETC
Because of this:
The plant was shut down around September 2025 �
The Guardian Nigeria
Power supply to many customers stopped
Some people even switched back to BEDC
The dispute includes:
Who actually owns the plant
Control of infrastructure
Contract disagreements
⚡ 4. Repeated outages & disruptions (2025–2026)
Reports say:
Transmission lines were disconnected multiple times
Operations were interrupted for months
Businesses, hospitals, and residents were affected �
DAILY TIMES Nigeria
It did come back partially after some outages, but not fully stable �
The Guardian Nigeria
🧠 So what really happened (simple summary):
👉 Nothing “mysterious” — it’s a mix of:
⚙️ Technical issue (gas supply disruption)
⚖️ Business/political fight (ownership dispute)
🔌 Operational instability (frequent outages)
💬 Bottom line
The Ossiomo plant is:
Not dead
But not stable either
👉 Its biggest problem now is human — ownership conflict, not lack of capacity.

The good old days, before APC crashed into Aso Rock

Which good old days? Tell me one power plant pdp built? You guys can be hiding tye truth. Through out pdp era light was never good. They broke phcn into pieces and sold it to pdp members the beginning of a trouble era. I can boost of 24hrs light at least 3 days a week and worst 16hrs light non blink. I don't do u pple politics I say the facts

chimex38:
Yes, he's a Prof who's just an "unpatriotic guy". Who wanted to transform our Discos and Gencos with his expertise and international out reach both Academic connections and industrial connections as he has done to Abia state with expansions still going on.
What is more patriotic than that.?

As the "unpatriotic guy" has been removed
What has the "patriotic guys" who took over
achieved/not-stolen so far from the same Govt contracts ?

To settle the dispute here what I found out.


Former President Goodluck Jonathan did not publicly “sack” Barth Nnaji in the usual sense — he resigned, but under strong pressure. Here’s what really happened:
🔑 Main reason: Conflict of interest
Nnaji was accused of having links to companies bidding to buy power assets during the privatization of PHCN (Nigeria’s power sector reform). �
Channels Television +1
Specifically, companies connected to him were involved in bids for Afam Generation Company and Enugu Distribution Company. �
Channels Television
This created a serious conflict of interest, since he was the minister supervising the same privatization process.
⚠️ Presidency reaction
Jonathan reportedly confronted him over this issue and felt it violated his oath of office. �
Daily Post
There were also allegations he was fronting or indirectly benefiting from the deals, which worsened the situation. �
Kemi Filani
🏛️ Political pressure
The ruling party (PDP at the time) also pushed for his removal, citing irregularities and concerns in the privatization process. �
Information Nigeria
🤝 What followed
Facing all this, Nnaji resigned on August 28, 2012, and Jonathan immediately accepted it. �
Wikipedia
The move was meant to protect the credibility of the power sector reforms.
🧠 In simple terms:
He wasn’t removed because of poor performance —
👉 It was mainly about conflict of interest during the power sector privatization.

Lol see them he was referring to Jonathan. Jonathan sacked him and they calling Apc.
He said everything fell apart after he was sacked. Someone even said he should not talk cos his boss doesn't like truth as in.. jesus

If we were better off why did the late Tai Solarin write about the suffering of the masses? Every regime people will say one is better. Lol it's a normal national anthem by Nigerians things were better than now

Even in America there's tornado wildfire, flood. You pple are so funny...... you seen many country that landslides happens and they have yo evacuate the people. Before you people start talking let know your state first. Envyness will wound most of una, u just wish what's happened lagos was in ur state but it's a dream and you get jealous. No wonder many states comes to copy lagos template.

Reference:
Na so. Every government and it's propaganda. When the next government comes it will downgrade that 6003 claimed and set it's own records.

Why not let the patrons decide how sweet the soup you serve in your restaurant is. Who will boldly say power has improved as dramatically as those figures suggest despite paying nearly triple the tariffs over the past decade.

In honesty and truth and with my years I'm nigeria expect when I travel out.... it these regime I witness 24hrs in Nigeria or worst 26hrs of light thou these year the light was really messed up but we still had worse 8hrs light.

Nigeria’s former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, claimed that electricity generation in the country peaked at over 6,000 megawatts (MW) during his tenure.

The minister, who resigned last week, also stated that available generation capacity was between 3,500MW and 4,500MW when he assumed office in August 2023. The claim was made in his resignation letter dated April 22, 2026 with reference number FMP/HM/SGF/026/I/001.


“When I assumed office in 2023, the power sector was confronted with significant structural and operational challenges. Available generation capacity was between 3,500 and 4,500 megawatts despite an installed capacity of over 13,000 megawatts.”


Daily Trust- FACT CHECK: Did Nigeria’s power generation exceed 6,000MW as Adelabu claimed?

Adebayo Adelabu

[b]“However, under your visionary leadership and the Renewed Hope Agenda, the sector has recorded measurable progress across the entire electricity value chain. Key achievements during this period include the successful implementation of the Electricity Act 2023, which has decentralized the electricity market and created a more investment-friendly framework. Peak generation has increased to over 6,000 megawatts, supported by the integration of the Zungeru Hydropower Plant and the rehabilitation of several thermal power assets,” [/b]he said.


To verify the claim, Daily Trust obtained electricity generation data from the Association of Power Generation Companies (APGC) and the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), covering quarterly performance from 2023 to 2025 and monthly data from January to March 2026.

Nigeria’s power sector has long struggled with inadequate and unreliable electricity supply despite repeated reforms and policy interventions. Installed capacity has consistently exceeded 13,000MW, yet actual electricity delivered to consumers remains far lower due to constraints in generation, transmission, and distribution.

No evidence of 6,000MW peak generation

Data from APGC shows that Nigeria’s grid never recorded a verified peak generation of 6,000MW or higher within the reviewed period: 2023: Peak ~5,000MW; 2024: Peak ~5,528MW; 2025: Peak ranged between ~5,300MW and ~5,801MW and 2026 (early months): Available capacity declined to ~4,089MW by March.

While generation approached the 6,000MW mark, it did not surpass it based on verified industry records.

NERC data shows fluctuating capacity, not sustained growth

Quarterly data from NERC indicates a volatile pattern.

Average Generation Capacity rose to 4,922MW in Q4 2023 shortly after Adelabu assumed office from 4211.44MW in Q3, 2023. It dropped to 4,249MW in Q1 2024, recovered to ~5,296MW by Q4 2024 and then ~5,430MW in Q3 2025 before declining to ~4,089MW by March 2026.

This trend reflects inconsistency rather than a sustained breakthrough in generation performance.

Experts warn against misinterpreting “peak generation”

According to APGC CEO, Joy Ogaji, confusion often arises from mixing different power sector metrics:

Installed capacity: ~13,000–14,000MW
Available capacity: ~4,900–7,300MW
Peak generation: ~5,000–5,800MW
Average delivered power: ~4,100–4,600MW


These figures are not interchangeable. Peak generation represents a momentary high point, not sustained output.

For instance, even when peak generation reached about 5,528MW in 2024, average supply remained around 4,100–4,200MW, revealing a significant gap between potential and actual delivery.

Structural constraints limit real output

Although Nigeria’s power generation has approached 6,000MW under optimal conditions, there is no verified evidence that it exceeded that threshold during Adelabu’s tenure.

Verdict: False

[i]The claim that Nigeria’s power generation peaked at over 6,000MW is not supported by verified industry data. Although Nigeria’s average available generation stood slightly above 4000MW when Adelabu assumed office, Peak generation remained below the 6000MW mark, while average electricity supply continued to lag significantly behind installed capacity.[/i

According to my finding to what you wrote this what i found out.



Yes — but only briefly and as a peak record, not consistently.
In March 2025, Nigeria’s power sector recorded a historic peak generation of about 6,003 MW, which is the first time it officially exceeded 6,000 MW. �
Legit.ng - Nigeria news. +1
This was described as a milestone, meaning it happened at a specific moment (peak output), not sustained daily supply.
However, the bigger picture:
Before that, Nigeria’s all-time peak was around 5,801 MW, below 6,000 MW. �
Halt Fake
Even after hitting 6,000 MW once, actual regular generation is usually much lower (often between ~3,000 MW and 5,000 MW). �
Pulse Nigeria
As of 2026, reports still show the country struggling to consistently meet or maintain 6,000 MW. �
Pulse Nigeria
Bottom line
✅ Nigeria has exceeded 6,000 MW (once as a record peak in 2025)
❌ But it has not sustained 6,000 MW consistently in everyday electricity supply


Here’s a clear, fact-based comparison of Nigeria’s highest recorded electricity generation peaks under the three administrations:
🇳🇬 Goodluck Jonathan (2010–2015)
Peak generation: about 5,000 MW
This was widely cited as a major milestone of his reforms. �
Premium Times Nigeria
👉 Reality:
Nigeria was still struggling to consistently stay above 4,000–5,000 MW during this period.
🇳🇬 Muhammadu Buhari (2015–2023)
Peak generation: about 5,074 MW (Feb 2016)
This remained the official highest verified peak for years after Jonathan. �
TheCable +1
👉 Notes:
There were political claims of 7,000 MW, but fact-checks confirmed Nigeria never reached that level. �
TheCable
So realistically, Buhari’s era did not significantly exceed Jonathan’s peak.
🇳🇬 Bola Ahmed Tinubu (2023–present)
Peak generation: 6,003 MW (March 2, 2025)
This is the highest ever recorded in Nigeria’s history. �
Leadership
👉 Additional context:
Transmission peak reached about 5,801 MW shortly after. �
Premium Times Nigeria
📊 Simple Comparison
Administration
Highest Peak (MW)
Status
Jonathan
~5,000 MW
First major milestone
Buhari
~5,074 MW
Slight improvement, mostly stagnant
Tinubu
6,003 MW
All-time record (first to cross 6,000)
⚖️ Bottom line
Jonathan: Took Nigeria to ~5,000 MW
Buhari: Barely improved beyond that (~5,074 MW)
Tinubu: First to break 6,000 MW, setting a new record

Very uninformative banner!

Genocide of who? That should have been inclusive to get the real message across

Seems these MF’s don’t know the meaning of “GENOCIDE”

Who are the targeted race, tribe, religion or ethnic group?

Same Nigerian we all inhabit and know what plays?

The fact that they could not detail the target of the genocide already concludes it’s just the usual propaganda!

There's nothing they won't do sha.. they know themselves. This won't will election for them.

MrSly:
Tinubu is worst than all you mentioned. Those ones tried their best hut tinubu colludes.

None of them tried only if u trying to mischievous. Is it buhari or Jonathan bomb was flying everywhere abi ubfirgotten d un building bombing?

MrSly:
I wonder how Tinubu sleeps at night, knowing the number of people who have died as a direct result of his incapability.

Really how many died during Jonathan, Buhari, and how many in the hands of IPOB? How were they all able to sleep from the governors etc..... smh

I don't get these idea of forcing someone to step down for anyone. Despite all the forces against tinubu he never asked anyone to step down for him.Ariku has the right to contest and no intimidation will stop him. If obi is looking for no contest nomination he shouldn't have left Lp or he should seek another party where he will be the sole candidate.

madridguy:
Bamoko will not fall. They have their reasons for existing the ECOWAS.

Technically you are right and he too is right. Due to you guys arguing these what I found out.


the reality in Mali is more mixed than “people are happy so they fully support the military.”
After the coups in 2020 and 2021, led by figures like Assimi Goïta, many Malians initially welcomed the military. Why? Mainly because there was deep frustration with the previous civilian government—corruption, insecurity, and failure to deal with jihadist violence had made people lose trust.
So yes, in the beginning:
There were public demonstrations supporting the military.
Some citizens saw them as a chance for a reset.
Anti-foreign (especially French) sentiment also boosted support for the junta.
But that doesn’t mean universal or permanent happiness. Over time:
Security has not significantly improved in many regions.
Economic conditions remain difficult.
Political freedoms have been restricted (media pressure, delays in returning to civilian rule).
Support today is divided:
Some still back the military, especially those who distrust politicians or external influence.
Others are increasingly frustrated but may not openly protest due to restrictions.
Regarding Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS):
ECOWAS imposed sanctions on Mali after the coups, which hurt the economy and angered many citizens.
This made ECOWAS unpopular among parts of the population, feeding the idea that it “has nothing to offer.”
However, ECOWAS’ role is to push for democratic governance, not necessarily to provide immediate economic relief.
So in simple terms:
Yes, some Malians support the military and cooperate with them.
No, it’s not accurate to say all “good people of Mali” are happy.
And ECOWAS is unpopular in Mali right now, but saying it has “nothing to offer” depends on perspective—its focus is political stability and democracy, not short-term popularity.

lapintoz:
Jonathan was President for 5+ years, how come he didnt remember them.......Plus Ayim was SSG for 5+ yrs, he no remember them.

Add Governors, Senators, House of Reps member....them no remember them!

So why blame my PBAT..........😁

They attack umahi who has done his best for the east to gain from this administration. If each one person from the east has done one project thru the federal government east would have gained alot from Gej administration and would have gone far ahead.

If your definition of leadership is right you won't be against Peter Obi.

Only a selfish mind would see all these and still question it.

Peter Obi - a man that defiles Nigeria's version of leadership.

Una din start again.... oga cool down..... every governor has thier achievement but when una begin to add vanilla flavour hmmm. We'll. This the fact I found out about what you wrote.




Short answer: that list is a mix of facts, exaggerations, and some claims that are disputed or not verifiable. Peter Obi did have a reputation for fiscal discipline and reforms, but not everything on that list is fully accurate as stated.
Here’s a clearer, fact-checked breakdown:
✅ Generally TRUE (but sometimes overstated)
Debt reduction & savings:
Obi is widely credited with improving Anambra’s finances. He reduced debt and left significant savings (often reported around ₦30–₦70 billion plus some foreign currency). The exact figures vary depending on the source.
Investment in education:
Anambra performed very well in WAEC/NECO rankings during his tenure. His administration supported schools (including mission schools).
Healthcare & education projects:
He built and upgraded hospitals and schools, though the exact numbers (e.g., 178 PHCs, 18 general hospitals) are likely inflated.
Security improvement:
He worked with security agencies and community leaders to reduce crime, especially compared to the period before his tenure.
Frugal lifestyle image:
He was known for modest personal style (e.g., simple cars), though the specific “406 and Innoson only” claim is more symbolic than strictly documented.
⚠️ PARTLY TRUE / NEEDS CONTEXT
“No contractor or worker was owed”
Not fully verifiable. Governments typically have ongoing obligations, though he may have reduced arrears.
“Cleared ₦36 billion debt”
He restructured and reduced debt, but whether it was fully “cleared” is debated.
“Built Government House”
He completed and moved into a Government House, but the project had a history before him.
“Brewery employing 3000”
Obi attracted investments (like SABMiller in Onitsha), but job figures like 3000 are likely exaggerated.
“Didn’t award contracts to family” / “wife had no influence”
These are reputation-based claims, hard to independently verify fully.
❌ UNCERTAIN / LIKELY EXAGGERATED
Exact number of hospitals/PHCs (18 + 178)
No strong public records confirming those exact figures.
“Obasanjo stayed 1 week in Onitsha because of peace”
Olusegun Obasanjo did visit Anambra, but this specific story is not well documented.
“Invited anti-graft to audit before leaving”
Not widely confirmed in official records.
“Worked as SEC chairman without pay”
There’s no solid evidence he served as SEC chairman; this claim is incorrect.
🟢 Widely ACCEPTED ABOUT HIS TENURE
Focus on saving money and limiting borrowing
Emphasis on education and human capital
Encouragement of private-sector investment
Reputation for less flashy governance compared to peers
Bottom line
That list is political messaging, not a clean historical record.
Peter Obi did perform relatively well in fiscal management and reforms, but:
Some achievements are real but exaggerated
Some are partly true but simplified
A lot are unproven or false

Apus:
Lagos light is still erratic though may not be worse than it is at Afipko. In this age and time there are somethings we shouldn't even be discussing as a problem and that includes constant electricity; Lagos in particular. Our leaders are heartless.

From the military recommendation thru to obj, yara dual, Jonathan, buhari and tinubu have all disappointed when it comes to light issue. But yo be fair enough since my years in nigeria I think this era is when I have ever sen 24hrs light for 2 day straight thou there still a long way to go. Has far we have bad maintainace culture things won't work. Look at d Abuja and lagos stadium lack of maintainace and many more. We need vibrant youth mixed with experience elderly ones to move these country forward.
