Youths in the Afikpo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State have staged a protest over what they described as more than 25 years of electricity blackout, declaring that there would be no electoral activities in the area until power is restored.

The protesters, who marched in large numbers, lamented that despite Afikpo producing high-ranking political office holders, including the deputy governor, federal and state lawmakers, local government officials, and commissioners, the area has remained without electricity.

Speaking on behalf of the Odinma Afikpo group, Mr. Charles Otu, a journalist and social activist, said elected representatives from the area must be held accountable, stressing that constructive criticism should not be misconstrued as negativity.

“We want Afikpo Light restored. That was after over a decade. Nothing changed. In 2019, we were promised by then Governor Umahi that before the 2019 elections, Afikpo Light would be restored.

“A five-man committee was set up, made up of Afikpo sons and daughters. To date, nothing has happened. In 2022, again, this agitation came through social media: we want Afikpo light restored.

"From 2022 till now, nothing has changed. The last episode was in 2024, when this same agitation started on Facebook. That was when a famous coinage of Agui, where a bold young man spoke and said the elected people should go to wherever this electricity is having problems and fix it. We have a 133 kV substation in Amasiri. They have been working on that substation since 2001.

“Somebody born in 2001 till now is 25 years old. The person is ready to become a mother if she's a woman. If he's a boy, he's done with the university and he's now asking for employment.

“Why is it difficult to energize the African substation? The governor of Ebonyi state, Mr. Francis Nwifuru, has intervened in this matter. Gave 208 million. In 2024, they told us, they said, "Look,"

“It won't take us three months. It won't take us three months. And this light will be restored. That was where we were in 2024. This is 2026. Two years after what has happened to our people. That's why we came,” Otu said.

The protest, however, was not without internal tensions, as some community stakeholders were accused of attempting to discourage the agitation, describing it as unnecessary criticism.

“They told us they had a general assembly. And they said they don't want people to write. We were waiting for the elders to come out plain and tell us what they meant.

“What did you say? It's criticism. Is it for me, a lawmaker, asking me, a journalist, why he made an event about Afikpo electricity where he represents me and he has been in the House of Representatives for 12 years? Is that what you call criticism? If that is what Afikpo has called criticism today, I am saying that it is not criticism. And I am saying that as a journalist, even if they say they are placing a fine of 100,000 for those who write,

“It is not going to affect me. I am a journalist, and I will not be stopped. I am not going to stop talking about it; I have talked about development issues in Ebonyi for 15 years. Those who know me very well know that in 2011, since my practice, right from Ebonyi Voice till now, you are my colleagues and should bear witness to me. I have always stood for developmental journalism. What will bring development? Is our world developed in darkness? The answer is no,” he said.

Another protest leader, Mr. Iheukwumere Okogwu Otu said the demonstration was aimed at sensitizing leaders to their responsibilities, emphasizing that criticism is an essential part of governance.

“Like, these are people. And it is not a new story that for over two decades, we've not had steady lights. And the bulk of this criticism is because of this lack of electricity. A boy, a girl, or a child that is up to 15 or 20 years old doesn't know what electricity is. If light comes up and the generator is not on, the boy of 15 years will be wondering where the light is coming from. That is how bad it is. And this is a town that has a House of Rep member, deputy appropriation chairman.

“Deputy governor, what do you call it, two House of Assembly members, three commissioners, and all that you have in government? And the place has been abandoned with normalized darkness in Afikpo. And the people you see here have reduced. We were over 2,000 in the morning because it's a matter of concern. No right-thinking person would just endure this situation,” Iheukwumere said.

He further decried the lack of human and capital development in the area, noting that many graduates remain unemployed while resources are allegedly mismanaged.

“And we are saying, without this power restoration, we are not voting and won't allow anybody to campaign.

“That is our resolve. No light. No vote. No light. No vote. So that is our resolve because we've traveled and we've seen how things work. Most of the persons you're seeing here, they have masters.

"Some even have doctorate degrees. And we have somebody in the House of Rep who's seen how jobs are being gotten; the advertisements you see online and in the newspaper have already been given. They share jobs now. Where is the one for our people, our constituency? Instead, they want to keep us especially in darkness because if 500 million can be budgeted for fish into the river, is it 2 billion or 3 billion that he cannot also do it the way he did it to achieve that 500 million for our electricity?

"So it's something that is confusing. And I don't know, most of us are just helpless, especially our elders. I don't know where and how this town, a town that houses the who's who, people who are courageous, people who are brave, and I don't know where they are.

"The promise I'm making to our people, even if it's only me, is the truth; I must continue to agitate, I must continue to ask for the things that are right for the people; I can't do otherwise,” he added.

A female protester, Lady Sheravin Mbe, also told reporters that Afikpo once enjoyed electricity decades ago, recalling efforts by a former lawmaker to restore power.

“You could imagine since 1970, I think from that time till now, it should be more than 49 years. What happened now? That our children, our grandchildren, would say we don't have need of this wire; I do tell them we once had light in Afikpo.

“They now ask me what happened now. I told them I don't know. But some so-called big fish in Afikpo. Because I know there's a lady here that wanted this light and stood firm to make sure that there's light in Afikpo. And her name is Maria Udewachi; her efforts were truncated because she is a woman,” she added.

The protesters insisted that their stance remains unchanged, warning that political campaigns and voting would be resisted if the electricity issue is not urgently addressed.

Observers say the development could have implications for upcoming local government elections and the 2027 general elections if the grievances remain unresolved.

Yesterday I had sex with my partner. After a few hours, I started feeling a burning/cooling sensation around my penis and scrotum. No itching or discharge. The only thing I feel is the burning sensation.

What I can best describe the sensation is like rubbing Dustin powder or pepper around one's private part.

I am feeling like this could be an STD from my partner. But I don't wanna make any accusations without being sure.

It's been over 24 hours now and I'm still feeling the burning sensation.

Has anyone experienced something like this? What could it possibly be?

Visionless governance

Just like their drug master
In this era of Infotech a woman is organising cooking competition for secondary school pupils. What about organising a computer programming classes and competitions, introducing these children to the idea of the day like it's done in the outside world.

I could remember His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi donating laptop computers to Anambra schools as a governor then.

Somehow I am quite glad that Peter Obi didn't win the last election, because by now Tinubu and his Cohorts would have made life fvcking miserable for him.

Peter Obi will do great in terms of economy but he don’t have the mind to tackle insecurity, we need someone that has strong iron balls like Obasanjo and sani Abacha to tackle insecurity.

The so-called repentant terrorists absorbed into the military, the saboteurs, those that benefit from this madness, politicians in high places, etc


Today's Nigeria appears to be a movie scene, I can imagine all the actors with their scripts, scripts that have been well rehearsed.

The movie? Obviously na tragedy. The end is destructive...to the victims, and the players.

The question the governor is asking...the answer will NEVER be out. The answer is not hard to find. Communications can be traced....but trust me, it will NEVER be out, and in a few days, all would be swept under the carpet.

Terrorists and their political heads and their military supporters having a field day, while a certain Nnamdi is in Sokoto, sentenced to life.

Nigeria is like a metre rule on a knife edge, badly tilted to one end.....the stupid, evil end.
