Send me your e-naira wallet if you truly want me to help you because you're very patriotic to the extent you've learnt the new national anthem and defending it wholeheartedly.
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate your generosity, but I'd like to respectfully ask you not to mock the poor. How can someone struggling to afford food have an e-naira wallet? I kindly request that you credit my GTB 0012056281 account. May God bless you.

I doubt he’ll be sacked. He’s the first power to understand that the power industry requires liquidity to survive and to be able to deliver value to the citizenry. That band strategy is a masterstroke; if you can’t afford it as a business, then you shouldn’t be in business in the first place, as an individual you are forced to monitor and control your consumption, which makes sense.
Politics › Re: What I Noticed About Peter Obi by lionshare: 7:15am On May 31, 2024
franchasofficia:
When will you wicked souls from Southwest have sense of good reasoning devoid of tribal hatred and bias against Igbos?


Peter Obi this and that as if he is the President of Nigeria.


Every sensible, honest and detribalized Nigerian know that Southeast was one of the safest and most peaceful regions in Nigeria before Buhari and APC happened to Nigeria in 2015.


Southeast was always calm and peaceful until Buhari decided to use hatred for Igbos to set things ablaze by paying unnecessary attention to Nnamdi Kanu's mere broadcast on Radio Biafra in far away London which he was already doing even under Goodluck Jonathan and he ignored him like he didn't exist.


But Buhari decided to make Nnamdi Kanu a global star through wrong advisers and he started using military to murder and massacre innocent unarmed IPOB supporters celebrating May 30 by waving just flags. That singular act of murdering Igbo youths waving Biafra flags in ABA and using military and DSS to arrest and clamp down on Nnamdi Kanu marked the beginning of radicalization of IPOB movement.


As if that was not enough, Nnamdi Kanu was later released to reappear in court on a certain date, Buhari still listened to another foolish advisers and went to use military to kill Nnamdi Kanu at his father's residence in Umuahia instead of being patient until Nnamdi Kanu appeared in court in Abuja to rearrest him, that led to Nnamdi Kanu escaping from Umuahia at gunpoint to reappear in London after some months.


Buhari's wickedness didn't let him ignore Kanu still, he went to use Kenya secret Police to kidnap Kanu from Kenya back to Nigeria which marked the beginning of monday sit-at-home protests to release Nnamdi Kanu.


Tinubu out of his own hatred for Igbos refused to learn from Buhari's mistake.


Now you expect Peter Obi to talk about IPOB sit-at-home just to please you his haters.


Peter Obi and every sensible Nigerian knows that sit-at-home in the Southeast can easily be solved by only Nigeria's President and nobody else. Peter Obi have advised Nigerian federal government on what to do about this in the past and they didnt listen. Peter Obi clearly told Nigerians on national TV how he would resolve the issue of IPOB agitation if he becomes President. He also told Nigerians how he would resolve other issues in all parts of Nigeria, those are more than enough because he knows that Southeast sit-at-home issue is very simple to solve; release Nnamdi Kanu on a one time state pardon and that will enable Nigerian government and Igbos know who the agitators are and who the criminals are and you can be rest assured that Southeast will return back to normalcy.



Every Igbo man is sympathetic to Biafra issue because virtually all lost a dear loved one and we see clear injustice, hatred and gangup against Igbos in Nigeria and so no sensible Igbo man will be swayed by mere talks of haters concerning Biafra agitation.



You want to end Biafra agitation forever? Allow Igbos produce President to make them feel among, but if you cannot do this and you prefer to be using military force to shut Igbos up, then Nigerians should be preparing gradually for another brutal civil war that no man can predict its outcome
Is there something that makes you guys avoid responsibilities? Cmon its in the collective interests of everyone especially those in SE that these killings and hostilities stop.

Mccullum:
Sanwo-Olu is definitely deceiving himself. Why can't he go and defend his claims on the Supreme Court.

Local governments in Lagos State have no autonomy. He's playing smart games politics.
As far financial autonomy is concerned they do to a large extent that’s why they can run their own projects. But what I think will be the game changer is to allow a truly independent body conduct LGA elections. There’ll be lot of issues tentatively but overtime with the participation of residents it’ll bring more development at the local level but we must find an institution that’ll monitor and ensure minimum standards across all states.


God bless Nigeria!

NoSentimentNo:
Prof . Wole Soyinka's achievements are extraordinary and he won these by dint of his purposeful deployment of his God given talent.

If it were easy, we would have had hundreds of Nobel Laureates.

While he is responsible for his political views and it it not our job to defend him, I cannot rebuke somebody for expressing his opinion.
And incase you overestimate yourselves, his opinions are weighty!That is why all of you are talking about him.
There is nothing inherently political about Prof. Soyinka's views, yet no one seems willing to address his concerns directly. Perhaps it is because his points hit too close to the truth. However, there is still a way to manage the situation to achieve an end to hostility while winning over many neutral parties to your side. I wonder what the strategists of the oppositions spend their time doing. You do not win elections by creating new enemies every day or attacking thought leaders.

Prof Wole Soyinka really fell my hand. He just lost the global respect he once enjoyed out of his senseless criticism of a man that did him no wrong. His tribal bigotry got exposed and magnified by the effects of old age, so sad cos I so much adored and respected Prof Wole Soyinka before now cry


That is why it is always good to leave the stage when the ovation is high. Prof Wole Soyinka misfired big time.
I have read several responses to Prof. Soyinka's position, but none have directly addressed his primary concern regarding personal integrity. He argues that the candidate misrepresented their discussions in the press release issued after their meeting. What many fail to recognize is that politics is more about trust than competence if you cannot keep your word why should anyone trust you with power.

Do your own calculations. After making the price of diesel & pms also rise crazily you people now want to use it to justify increase in electricity.

Funny people.

You & your minister say the increase in electricity tariff would lead to reduction in goods & services, so let's wait and see.
My conclusion = you not a responsible person. Only irresponsible lots deflects as much as you do.

Please do better for your own sake and the sake of those that depends on you.

Again, empty drums, loud noises.

I don't need to point out the obvious confusion and illogicality of your position. You were obviously running around like a headless chicken.

It is glaring that you are a byproduct of the both the failing education system in Nigeria and the vile sociopolitical value system where a few vocal and empowered minions are used to disseminate thoughtless and inhumane policies.

That someone would think that a 300% increase in electricity tariff would lead to a reduction in prices of goods & services when the records show a continuing declining power generation is just bonkers.
Hopefully you won’t deflect again —what’s the cost of producing 1kw via diesel or petrol (include maintenance & servicing) vs cost of band A?

What is disappointing is your inability to understand simple economics and facts.

Even you have admitted that as at March 2024, the so called band A users were not getting value for money. Now the band has been increased by 300%. How won't that lead to an increase in prices of goods & services?

You claim that power supply has improved. A very myopic view because you think the world starts & ends in Ikeja. Yet there are numerous complains even from the same Ikeja area.

https://www.icirnigeria.org/ikeja-electric-apologises-for-failing-to-meet-20-hour-electricity-supply/

https://businessday.ng/news/article/electricity-consumers-trapped-in-discos-net-as-complaints-pile/?amp

Would the astronomical increase lead to a fall in prices of goods & services? You are saying yes. That's fine, let's see how it goes. It's been over a month since the increase, have prices dropped?

Again, I don't know what your headache is. Enjoy your increase, let those who have issues with it talk.

You can enlighten whom you want. Create a thread and enlighten whomever suits your fancy, you guys did worse for the last 8 years supporting dumb and ill-thought out policies, so nothing new.
So during the period where there was no value for money did production stop? At what cost? Vs now? Which is cheaper?


I see you’re putting some efforts gradually! The image I previously attached shows IE indicting themselves but in your ignorance won’t let you see it.

You’ve not added one dime of value to this discourse!
No clue yet vocal with no solutions. Your understanding of arithmetics, logic & basic-micro-economics leaves a lot to be desired.

Stay blessed!

ivandragon:
Are you really this dense or you just feel like blabbing?

Are bands a new development? Areas have been banded for some years, so what's your excitement about bands? Are you just knowing about them?

The issue is that the astronomical increase in tariffs cannot be justified and the increased tariffs would in turn increase cost of production. Simple. Is that so hard to grasp?

Obviously, you support the increase and you are probably happy, so why are you having headache for those who feel the increase is unwarranted at this time?

Again, let us see if the increase in tariffs would lead to a reduction in prices of goods and services like the minister said and you seem to support.
Unlike you that deflects from questions, I’ll answer your questions all over again. Just maybe this time you’ll understand.

1. Band-A is not new; I’ve admitted that already. FYI, it was called bilateral service agreement, but the service was terrible and barely up 12 hours as of March 2024. However, following the Band-A pricing, a lot more areas have been added. For example, Ikeja Electric increased from 45 feeders to 104 feeders, with significant improvement in supply, often exceeding the 20-hour target.

2. Even if you consider the increment astronomical, it’s still less than the cost of running diesel or petrol, which means net savings for all users.

3. I support anything that brings sustainable progress for Nigerians. Anyone who thinks a stable power supply at the Band-A rates will increase their production cost has no business with grid power. There are cheaper alternatives, but it’s all a function of scale.

I’m more than disappointed in the quality of your discourse as it posits no logic, facts, or rigor. My response is solely to enlighten other well-meaning citizens.

Empty drums & loud noises.

Tracks & metrics by hours, yet they have what is called 'estimated billing'. Some of you are just flat out dumb.

Anyway, the market will tell if the increased cost of power would lead to a reduction in prices of goods & services.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2024/04/tariff-hike-tcn-discos-bicker-over-failing-20-hrs-supply/amp/
See attached. IE publishes this daily if unable to deliver 20 hours+ supply to their any of their now over 100 Band A feeders users from about 45 feeders in march.

Also, you can track monthly usage of each discos from NERC see link below for IE and you can also check for other discos to cure your ignorance about the power supply situation especially in other parts of the country.

You obviously are going back and forth with little knowledge. Do you stay everywhere at the same time?

Do you think Lagos is the start all and end all of Nigeria? So because you believe power supply has improved in Lagos, then it has improved in Nigeria.

Do you know the number of areas that have faulty transformers but the Discos would calculate that they gave them light for over 20 hours?

See, believe what you want. You support the increase. Good for you. You agree that cost of production has reduced. Good for you. Let us see what the market says about it all.
The confidence of your ignorance is ridiculous. You’ve provided nothing to support your position just assumptions. You’ve no idea how power supply is measured there’s an existing reporting framework and that is published weekly which tracks power supply to consumers by hrs & other metrics.

Stop outsourcing your capacity to think everything I’ve mentioned can be verified on the internet.

Shalom
