If your pre-paid meters become faulty, your supplier should replace it. They should also refund you any money they owe you as a result of the fault.

PHCN, the predecessor of Eko Disco supplied it. Now, instead of Eko Disco putting in place a mechanism to repair faulty pre-paid meters, they have ignored all our entreaties and gone ahead to issue us with estimated bills for electricity supply, that is nowhere near what we consume. it is a scam that enables them to make more money. Do you get it, now?

Igala and Idoma people have closer cultural affinities to Efik and Igbo than to Fulani.

Calling Kogi and parts of Benue "North " is part of the misnomer called Nigeria where groups are used to furthet the interest of fulani people.

Igala & Efik? What is all that one about, please? Kogi is located firmly within the middle-belt which falls under the North-Central axis of Nigeria. Shikena!

Muslim parents demanded the abolition of pork in all the school canteens of a Montreal suburb. The mayor of the Montreal suburb of Dorval, has refused, and the town clerk sent a note to all parents to explain why...
“Muslims must understand that they have to adapt to Canada and Quebec, its customs, its traditions, its way of life, because that's where they chose to immigrate.
“They must understand that they have to integrate and learn to live in Quebec.
“They must understand that it is for them to change their lifestyle, not the Canadians who so generously welcomed them.
“They must understand that Canadians are neither racist nor xenophobic, they accepted many immigrants before Muslims (whereas the reverse is not true, in that Muslim states do not accept non-Muslim immigrants).
“That no more than other nations, Canadians are not willing to give up their identity, their culture.
“And if Canada is a land of welcome, it's not the Mayor of Dorval who welcomes foreigners, but the Canadian-Quebecois people as a whole.
“Finally, they must understand that in Canada (Quebec) with its Judeo-Christian roots, Christmas trees, churches and religious festivals, religion must remain in the private domain.
The municipality of Dorval was right to refuse any concessions to Islam and Sharia.
“For Muslims who disagree with secularism and do not feel comfortable in Canada, there are 57 beautiful Muslim countries in the world, most of them under-populated and ready to receive them with open halal arms in accordance with Sharia.
“If you left your country for Canada, and not for other Muslim countries, it is because you have considered that life is better in Canada than elsewhere.
“Ask yourself the question, just once, “Why is it better here in Canada than where you come from?”
“A canteen with pork is part of the answer.”

Epic response! I just love this. The British authorities should have done the same thing years ago, instead of bending backwards to accept all kinds of restrictions & conditions laid down by immigrants, in a bid to appear politically correct.

Now, the Nigerian educational authorities should take a leaf from the book of the Mayor of Dorval, anytime the issue of hijab wearing comes up on the agenda. There is a reason why schools have standard school uniforms. It is to promote conformity, standards, common identity & repel discrimination. It is not done to protect an individual's religious agenda or inclination.

And when the Oba of Lagos threatened Igbos lagoon yet no one came out to say anything? One Nigeria only exist on paper not in real life. Utter rubbish

Were 37 Eze Nd'Igbo chieftains not in attendance, when the Oba of Lagos made that remark? What did they do? They clapped for him like over-excited school kids and promised to do his bidding!! How come they did not defend the interests of your people?

Don't you wonder that Bauchi has stopped selling lands to Non indigenes because there are reports there is Oil there, they don't want non-northerners to own the land so as not to get the oil so there is a complete ban of sale, yet 95% of the Oil wells in the South South are owned by northerners.

This part of your post is totally false. Stop this propaganda of "95% of oil wells in the south are owned by northerners." It has been debunked too many times. Do your research before posting erroneous assumptions...

Like the humble kolanut, Alabukun powder is one of the unifying items in Nigeria. It is very popular and there is virtually no home in the country where one or more members have not been in touch with or used Alabukun. Even without any considerable adverts, it beats all competitors and foreign brands hands down. Grandmothers swear by its healing powers while men claim it is their aphrodisiac. Yes, it is that popular. Cheap and easily recognizable, it is found everywhere. From headaches to voice troubles to stomach upsets to general body pain, Alabukun is the ultimate magic cure for millions of Nigerians. Some even take it to the dark side as they mix the whitish powder in a cold bottle of Sprite, swirl and swallow (some say they combine it with lime), as their drug for aborting pregnancies. Good or bad, the Alabukun brand has persisted and today, we will take a look at the history of the man behind it all:

What amazes me has been the success of their supply chain strategy and the logistics method used in distributing Alabukun to the nooks and crannies of Nigeria. This is no mean feat, considering the peculiar challenges encountered on our shores, in moving stuff from one city to another!

I have said it before on another thread - the strength of Alabukun as an indigenous brand, should be used as a case study in Nigerian universities. And someone should please do a documentary on the late Pa Odulate, to document his achievements for posterity!

Though stat without data, most ladies that ended up unmarried, in this part of the world where we cherish married, either friendzoned their real hubby of magarized them

The case senerio you just presented is an exceptional case and mostly celebrated. And of course, we mostly read/heard their stories. Many even walked out of abusive marriages but staying till 60 is something else.

Everyone's case is different. And every woman's journey into holy matrimony, cannot be the same. In the same manner some women get married at 20-something, and give birth within 1 or 2 years, while others get married at 20-something, but cannot conceive for 10 or 20 or 30 years, is the same way some women get married at 20-something, while others are not able to take the plunge until they are 30 or 40 or even 60! Marriage is NOT an app that you can download for free or on demand, straight from the internet!

It has very little to do with friend-zoning a guy or marginalising him!

lol.. courtship for 40yrx, 30yrx, 20 yrx? Let's b realistic here....

Am being realistic, nah! For some women who had a traumatic experience in the past like being jilted at the altar, or losing their fiance to death, just before the wedding - it can take them a long time to recover, or even go out with another man again. I am not saying that is what happened in the case of this 60-year old woman, o! Nobody should get me wrong...

jatau7:
all dos ladies shouting Gods time is the best ''will you keep quiet". ...wen most of dem will be forming 2much why wont dey stay up to 60 b4 getting married. ..is Gods will for us to get married at 60? dre ia a difference between marrying and not having a child for so long and you staying single till 60 yrx....dos pple referring bible verses for us...make dem tell us for bible wia anywoman stay up to 60 before getting married. ...dont take it too personal please

You are a joker, o! Did anyone tell you that getting married is like downloading video-on-demand, from an online store or a movie website? If you go into a relationship in your 20s, or 30s or 40s and it still does not end in marriage, what will you do, assuming you are a woman? Will you tie a rope to the man's neck and drag him to the altar?? Isn't it when a man and a woman go through courtship or dating cycle, then agree to marry, and the marriage rites are finally conducted, that a woman can call herself a married woman? If this scenario does not happen until she is 60, what will she do? Will she sue her creator to court? Or put a full-page advert in the newspaper?

If u've said THANK GOD maybe this rift woulnt have occurred in the first place...why would u say God's time is the best for a woman getting married at the age of 60...and talking about those ones that got married early and are facing marital breakdowns,,,abeg watch ur mouth because this beautiful woman for don get grandchildren if she had married in her 20ies,,,,anyway I wish her a blissful marital journey

"The race is not to the swift," or haven't you heard that saying? Do you think that when a woman clocks 20-something, automatically marriage becomes her property for the taking? Or is marriage a commodity that is sold on a shelf, that the 20-something year old ladies can just go and buy, just because it is their time? Or did you hear that someone proposed to her when she was 20-something, and she said 'No"?

Please how is it her fault that she is getting married at 60, and not 20?

tete7000:
.Amen to your prayer but marriage was really created for companionship, children are addendum and there are ways of one even having them without direct birth - adoption. Thats if the couple have not even had elsewhere before.

Thanks for the lecture. Am well aware of all that you stated. But for many Nigerian women that I have spoken to, the desire to give birth to a child who would be a symbol of the love they have for their spouse, is something they wish for within their hearts. And I do believe this desire is a perfectly legitimate and valid one. You need to see how many women spend a fortune on fertility treatments, IVF procedures, medical interventions, and even spiritual ones, just in a bid to articulate this desire. Hope this makes sense.

kennygee:
The man might be a widower.

She looks great for 60.

Lawd have mercy!! She actually looks 40, not 60!! I do hope God blesses her with her own child, in this marriage. The ways of God are higher than the ways of men...

The coincidence are too much to ignore. U cannot erase Igbo from Delta and Edo. That is physically impossible. Neither can u erase yorubas from Ondo either. It is an exercise in futility.

Guy, stop beating around the bush and kindly answer my previous question. Ok, let me rephrase it, in case you did not get my meaning. On what page of the book is the word "Udo" mentioned, and how did the writer emphatically determine that the Edo language or lexicon does not contain the word "Udo"? Next time you want to cite a source, please ensure it contains the exact facts being discussed, or the exact info., that is required.

Local meter manufacturers in Nigeria seek government assistance

Local manufacturers of electricity meters want the Federal Government to assist them in accessing foreign exchange to import major components for producing meters.

They made this known during an inspection of a meter factory in Lagos by the Minister of Power, Works and Housing.

Nice write-up, but it is these same meter manufacturers that cried out several months ago, that the DISCOs were not patronising them, but preferred to import pre-paid meters. So I hope things have changed.

So my question is still this - when pre-paid meters become faulty, who fixes them or how do they get fixed? Is there any mechanism in place through which the Discos can retrieve and repair faulty pre-paid meters, and then return them to the customer, or re-install the fixed meters back in their customers' premises? Answers, anyone??

This is what is written in the link you quoted. There is no mention of the word "Udo."

The author presented his book “Igbo Culture” in a most convincing way by quoting expert opinions on most of the issues he discussed in the book. Through his carefully researched work and detailed analysis of facts, he showed in the book that Igbo youths working hard like their ancestors can reform Igboland into a new and better civilization by sifting the good aspects of Igbo culture into today's way of life.

He started his book by making a brief reference to the possible migration route of Igbo ancestors from their earliest settlements in the forest region of Central Africa to their present-day settlement in Southeastern Nigeria of West Africa. He also made a brief reference to the development of the Igbo civilization through the period covering the Stone Age and Iron Age civilizations (pages 1–14).

He painted a clear picture of the cultural background of the community where he was born and brought up and lived in for more than sixty years before he traveled to the United States of America. He traced the more than twenty-six generations-deep lineages, beliefs, concepts, customs, and history of Ihe Shikeaguma in Ntuegbe clan of Enugu State in Southeastern Nigeria as a sample core Igbo culture community. He also delved into the historical links and social formation of this community, with emphasis on genealogy, religion, settlement, language, government, law enforcement, defense, seasons, festivals, and residential structures (pages 15–83).

He took his readers to Igbo thought on God, self, family, human life, birth, death, spirit, human mind, and reincarnation (pages 85–113).

He clearly documented the cultural products of Igbo thought, which can be seen in the formulation of Igbo institutions with special reference to marriage, the extended family system, the social status structure and title system, festivals, informal education, traditional law, community service, religion, divination, and health-care services (pages 114–202). He explained that the symbolism of various articles and some spoken words in Igbo culture are products of Igbo thought. He referred to ofo stick, kola nut, alligator pepper, spears, tribal face marks, body paint, white chalk, and the young palm frond as symbols or instruments of Igbo philosophical expressions and concepts (pages 203–214).

He showed how Igbo culture and philosophy have been affected by the cultures of Igbo neighbors in Nigeria and by other foreign cultures with special references to the following: (a) Ugwuele civilization (a Stone Age culture)—1,000,000 BC–500,000 BC (b) Nri civilization (a ritualized kingship system)—AD 800–AD 1700 (c) Aro civilization (slave trade and colonial era)—AD 1700–AD 1850 (d) Border civilization (slave trade and colonial era)—AD 800–AD1900 (e) External civilization (slave trade and colonial era)—AD 1700–AD 2000 (pages 215–238) The author concluded his work by making an evaluation of Igbo culture.

He carefully examined the oriented values of the Igbo and highlighted those areas of Igbo culture that should be refurbished and reinfused into Igbo life by the Igbo themselves in order to transform Igboland into a big theater of modern civilization (pages 239–246).

You are such a joker. Is the author the only source or the sole authority on Edo words or words that exist in both languages? Stop being slow, abeg! Post a snapshot of the exact page where he said the word Udo is only an Igbo word, and it does not exist in Edo language.

hammerF:
Ugbo in Bini and Igbo mean the same word besides, Udo is an Igbo word.
The coincidence are getting far too many to be ignored or swept under the carpet.

And they told you that the word Udo does not exist in Edo language?

When will the DISCOs (especially Eko Disco) start fixing faulty pre-paid meters on their customers' premises? Or is there a workshop where we can take pre-paid meters to, in order to get it fixed??

hammerF:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urhobo_people
NOW TELL ME IS IT A COINCIDENCE THAT UDO IS AN IGBO WORD? URHOBO HISTORY SUPPORTS MY CLAIMS.

You are too funny for words. This word 'Udo", - does it have the same meaning in Edo language, that it has in Igbo language? A word could mean totally different things in several different languages, whose lexicon contain the same word. Do not forget that intonation and inflections also come into play, when it comes to decoding the meaning of a word.

Eko Disco is one of the worst lying Discos in Naija. The whole of last year, they kept telling people in Lekki area to call back, that they did not have pre-paid meters available. In a recent publication, they claimed to have supplied 100,000 pre-paid meters to their customers. Haba??! So who are the ones they supplied meters to, last year?? These people can lie for Africa!!

They have refused to fix existing faulty pre-paid meters and are quick at dishing out sky-rocketing estimated bills, especially when they have done nothing else, but supply darkness. God dey watch una!
