Okezie ikpeazu should be ashamed of himself. Instead of settling down to work for his people, he was busy following Wike up and down till the end of his tenure.

He had no vision to develop his state

Lamba.... 😂

Congratulations to the Ukodo 1 of Okpe Kingdom His Excellency Rt. Hon. (Elder) Sheriff Oborevwori on his victory at the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

It appears Rivers is not in the plan for today. I am interested

GanagiBitrus:
Kudos to Nwabili. 👍

I just knew Uzoho could never have been the best Goalkeeper a country of over 200m could offer.

I still de doubt this 200m...I no sure say we pass 60m.....the 200m na scam

butpro:
Remaining those bandits and Fulani herds

Dem no de ever catch these ones. Am not convinced na the kidnappers be this....

Shameful....

Everything about this govt smells lies, lie, lies, lies.....so sad. Exactly my point, u cleared backlogs and rate is heading to 1500/$...aPC na scammers

bassdow:
Do Nigerians Treate fellow Nigerians any better ?

Ask am well. Does he treat his fellow Nigerians better? A Nigerian manager has the heart to deduct a certain amount from all the workers of his company for himself. Many Nigerians are actually worse than the foreigners

I wish him all the best. I see many of our countrymen striving to make an honest living here, while others unfortunately contribute to the challenges.

There are numerous unfavorable remarks about the UAE (and Arabs), and I find myself questioning the reasons behind them. Having resided in the UAE since 2019, I struggle to identify any other nation that provides the opportunities and benefits that this place offers.

Cos u might be an expatriate there....in the oil industry. They are respected

APC and Tinubu. Hmmmm. This is the real witchcraft of destruction. Churches should leave village people alone... 😂

LegendHero:
CBN should act first before telling people.

Prosecute them already. If you want to catch a thief, you won’t first tell the thief that I will catch you.

Act first, then come to tell us we have prosecuted so so and so. That to me is the best approach so the thief/saboteurs won’t run away.

This new CBN guy...na only mouth him get. No tangible moves...what's the use of these degrees when this people no get street sense to solve issues?

Politicians got no shame

LegendHero:
The mining activities is not taking place in the area of the incident. The people mining are only living there and that’s where they keep some of their stuffs.

I think people are mixing things up. That area of Bodija is not a mining area, the miners just have their houses there.

What kind of mining goes on in the other place that necessitated their keeping explosives in bodija

LegendHero:
We all know Nigeria police and intelligence agency are slacking. I don’t know whether to say they are completely useless because of how overstretched they are.

However, the people should be the intelligence themselves. The earlier we Nigeria know that policing is a shared effort the better for us.

Nigeria is underpoliced and that is the reality. 300k police cannot manage this much population without people giving them information.

If people in the area know that illegal miners store their mining stuffs in the house which they know is very bad for safety. They should be the one to go report out there to the authorities.

Then if the authorities fail to act, that is where the problem then lie.

State policing is the only effective means of policing. My question is what were the miners mining?

remsonik:
3 is fine,Nigeria we try to rush education for our kids without having to wait for their brains to develop well and have good intelligence.

That's why you see a 14 years old child in ss3 with no emotional intelligence, got admission into the university and misuses his brain to do bad and not good. I love the UK style, a child won't get into a class if he/she hasn't reach the expected age meant for the class.

Nigeria people no know this one....na unnecessary rushing wey no de add value dem de do

obonujoker:
What we do hear is maintenance engineering.

Even Innoson that produces his own vehicle is not patronised by Nigerians.

I'm an engineer do I know

Honestly, that is the truth. Replace the so-called stupid mech, elect courses with maintenance engineering. Infact the universities are useless. More focus should be on technical education. Africa copy oyibo education but did not copy well at all. We only succeeded in copying buildings but not wisdom(science and tech)

Why are they not supplying electric meters and ensuring adequate supply of electricity? Combine poor services with estimated billings and you will see why even Angel Gabriel would not want to pay for electricity.

Another interesting view. This is very apt and should resolve any misgivings on the part of the discos. The discos are definitely not showing that they have capacity to deliver on their business mandates. Telecoms is a case study of capacity and business tenacity...Discos need to learn from telecoms industry in nigeria

My man...this guy is and was a star coach. He was an entity to be followed in the early 2000s....a special one indeed

Ashibelieve:
The real question is why are people not paying?

Answer: Electricity is not regular.

Solution: Customers want stable electricity before they will be ready to pay.

Challenge of this: Discos can't afford the cost of providing quality service to customers and setup checks and balances before they start asking customers to pay market price.

Final remark: You don't get into business and tell customers to frontload your minimum coat to offer a good product or service before doing that. It remains Discos and whoever are underestimating the cost of doing business and providing efficient service before asking customers to pay for it or they are stock with the government mindset of doing business and supporting the business on subsidy and citizens payment

Hmm. Profound statement. I hear there are private power discos in Lagos, ain't they providing good service that can be replicated on a bigger scale?

Lifemanage:
Good analysis. But why govt no want them to charge cost reflective tarriffs

Nigeria matter de too complicated.

nairalanda1:
Ideally, it is the job of the local DISCO, not the job of PHCN. PHCN does not exist. Discos and gencos and TCN have replaced it.

But as to why consumers contribute...this one is easy.


Nigerians are not paying cost reflective tarrifs for electricity. Additionally, over 30% of us do not pay for the power we use.(If you think I am lying...google for the PwC report Solving the Liquidity crunch in the power sector).

As a result, your local DISCO is owing money, and at least 3 of them have been taken over by the banks. Up till today...many of our DISCOS have not broken even. THREE of them, and I mean three of them, have been taken over by their creditors, one has been taken over defacto by the government.

Why...because Nigerians do not want to pay their power bills at market price. We think we must have power for free.


Meanwhile, GSM companies, if the antenna spoil, dem go replace am. Your local provision store owner, if he runs out of milk today, he will replace it within a few hours, if not tomorrow latest....because they are allowed to do something the power sector is not allowed to do. Sell at market price.


This is the result of not letting DISCO set prices.....you will be asked to contribute for your generator.


I went to a private school for primary school, and then for secondary school, na government school I go. My school fees in the primary school were at one point three times what I eventually was paying in the government secondary school I went to....yet in the primary school, in over 6 years of being there it was two times I bought exercise book for myself...the second time, because the supplier was late,and I was advised to buy a book...anyway, normal service was resumed in a few days.

When I entered secondary school, I was paying cheap school fees. Guess what......in my six years there I was buying all my exercise books and stationeries and textbooks while there. Something that in my private primary school..they were issuing us textbook.



Let us all pay a cost reflective tarrif.......and you will see your disco provide you with high quality transformer that would last 300 years. Not this one where we pretend power is cheap, and where in some areas half the population thinks it is free of charge. Ok o.

Good analysis. But why govt no want them to charge cost reflective tarriffs
