Ayo8:
Can the Nairaland community pool funds for DISCo acquisition… more like a crowdfunding investment project.
If the likes of Adeleke can invest in power, then there’s something in it..

It is just fraud, how can someone that doesn't even have appliances that consume much power supply that if on a prepaid will probably be worth 3k month gets served a bill of 21k and you tell him it's estimated billing and he must be.
That is what the discos have been doing do fraudulently collect money from Nigerians

olaolulazio:
They have to start buying transformers and cables and stop turning what a community bought to theirs. All this must stop.

They will not buy cos they have friends in government, they don't buy anything yet they bill you, lobby their friends to increase the tariffs, sell darkness to Nigerians and they get super rich.

Which new investors? This current crop of disco owners didn't invest in the structure of distributing power supply in the country they simply bought this companies compelled Nigerians tonne paying estimated bills without supplying power to them and have made huge profits from this act of criminality. You complain about estimates billing and they tell you NERC has set the benchmark for the bills and yet when you use same appliances on a prepaid metre you don't spend that much. Not until the fraud perpetuated in that sector has been curtailed and government forces this Discos to metre every household, every group that takes over will simply sell darkness to Nigerians get rich and sell it to somebody else when Nigerians start shouting that the extortion is too much

The conditions of living of a Nigerian worker is not short of pitiful. They tell you, you can't get rich being a civil servant yet when you take a look at civil servants from nations that are not as rich as Nigeria its then you will see the difference that in nigeria we have nothing but bad leaders

MediaTek Helio G200, Did Infinix really do this? Well if that's the what's powering the phone it should be a good phone and one to perform including good pictures since it has a Sony camera as well.

K

He is too erratic to be POTUS, he will backtrack on this decision soon

Things are really getting out of hand under the scheme, you hardly get drugs unde the scheme now, when you get them, you pay higher than the 10% you are supposed to pay under the scheme and HMOs have become dysfunctional

Overhyped phone and it's too expensive for that amount. Redmi note 14 is almost same price with this. You should rather buy the note 14

Nigeria has sadly gone down the drain. Most of these private school operate as they wish. The public schools are in shambles and most parents are left with no option than to patronise them.

He was courteous enough to say excuse me and you went ahead to pick a fight with an elder. When you begin receive COV from his colleagues you will understand your mistake

He should appear less in the media, it will be best for his job.

I'll like to commend NAFDAC for doing this, the Chinese are also known for cutting corners, I hope this case will be given the right attention and properly processed to ensure compliance and safety of Nigerians

The Nigerian phone market is large enough to accommodate them, they will give the transion companies a run for their money, as their phones are better than theirs.

They will never get fully compensated, they will get whatever government feels like giving them

No one will tell Atiku the truth, the praise singers will sing him into contesting again and the outcome will not be different. I'll advice him to save his money and if there is anything patriotic left in him, he should support a younger candidate and retire to the status of an elder statesman.

When you see a phone write up without the processor being mentioned, it's a red flag immediately. Most of these phones are powered by a unisoc chipset the lowest of them or midrange mediatek one. For the value of your money if you have to buy an android phone from these companies kindly ensure it is powered by a Snapdragon chipset or at least an Mtk chipset that is from G80 and above

physise:
The processor is Unisoc Tiger T603. It's a low-end processor

My point exactly

Whenever this adverts come up, the companies are always quiet about the processor that drives the phone. Itel may have phones with good battery life but beyond that, what else? There is no statement about the chipset, which is the most important thing in a phones performance.

Nigeria is just a joke

I used to think this guy is so powerful he can have his way with any government, finally he has gotten his share of 'what Nigeria does to us'. They will sort themselves out as usual, when they are done calling themselves out. Both he and the NNPC are fighting over maintaining monopoly

CSO tasks Govt, society on well-being of boys child

A Civil Society Organization (CSO), Restore Hope To The Boy Child Initiative, has called on the Nigerian Government, parents and other stakeholders to prioritize the well-being of the boy child.

Speaking to newsmen on Thursday in Abuja, on the occasion of the International Day of the Boy Child with the theme:”Boy’s Health and Well-being”, the Executive Director of the Initiative, Dr. Babatunde Kayode noted that the boy child faces numerous challenges.

Kayode urge the Nigerian Government, parents and well-meaning Nigerians to create enabling environment for the boy to thrive in terms of his health and physical development, emotional well-being, equal opportunities and gender equality, and education, among others.
He said,”We gather here to shed light on an important issue that demands our attention and collective efforts—the well-being of boys.

“In line with this year’s theme of the International Day of the Boy Child which is ‘Boy’s Health and Well-being” we shall focus on their needs to feel happy, healthy, and valued within their families and communities.

“The Boy Child faces numerous challenges, and while some of these issues are not exclusive to them, we recognize the need to address them from their perspective. We will tackle key areas such as Role Models and Positive Masculinity, Health and Physical Development, Emotional Well-being, Equal Opportunities and Gender Equality, Education and Learning.

“For example, in instances of violent conflicts and insecurity, boys are particularly vulnerable. They are coerced into becoming child soldiers, subjected to torture, and even face sexual abuse. Societal expectations of male strength and emotional resilience often result in a culture of silence among male children, even in the face of danger. The suppressed pain can lead to psychological problems and trauma.”

Kayode decried the growing incidence of single parenthood which he said has created a void in mentorship and positive role models for for the Boy Child.

“Furthermore, the growing incidence of single parenthood has created a void in mentorship and positive role models for the Boy Child. From a young age, boys carry the burden of being providers, shaping their choices and often diverting them from pursuing their passions to meet financial expectations from family and society.

“Consequently, we witness a rise in toxic masculinity, mental and physical challenges, ritual killings, internet fraud, a surge in violent conflicts, an alarming rate of school dropouts and drug abuse among the boys. Teachers have observed low attention spans and declining educational performance among primary and secondary school-aged boys. Addressing these issues requires the collective efforts of parents, schools, society, government, and private individuals to find holistic solutions,” he said.

Kayode stressed that the well-being of boys is a matter of utmost importance, while calling on parents, schools, local and international humanitarian organizations, communities, government agencies, and individuals to join us in this noble cause.

“In conclusion, the well-being of boys is a matter of utmost importance, and together, we can create a future where they thrive, excel, and contribute positively to society. We call upon parents, schools, local and international humanitarian organizations, communities, government agencies, and individuals to join us in this noble cause.

“Let us restore hope to the boy child and ensure they receive the care, support, and opportunities they deserve,” he said.

Also speaking, the Spokesman of the Initiative, Hadiza Onido noted that there have been gaps in polices and attention that has relegated the boy child to the background.

She therefore called for equal treatment and attention to both girls and boys, adding that failure to empower the boys will endanger the future of the girls.

“The occasion of the ‘International Day of Boys’ signifies a complementary role to the attention we give to girls, this is not to say that there have been too much attention paid to the girl child. It is just that while we are pursuing that noble course there have been gaps in polices and gaps in attention. There have been a source of neglect to issues that affect the boy.

“So, what we are trying to do today is to wake up consciousness to the fact that as we take care of the girls we should also take care of the boys. And the issues that affect children is most times general and we must develop peculiar ways of looking at such issues because in a unique way the problems that affect child affect the boy child differently.

“So, the way we have tailored policies to address gap in issues or challenges that concerns the girl child, we also advocating today that such tilted views be granted to issues that concerns the boys, and the challenges that they face,”Onido said.

She added,“In the area particularly their emotion. A boy is expected to man up, a boy is expected to be a man from the first day, this has created vacuum in expression, so, the day to day things that affect them, they are not free to talk about them. They perceive it as a form of weakness if they break down, if they express the pain that affects them, and this has been the culture of silence and allowed a lot of things that would have tackled to happen to them.

“From the first day the boy wants to be a man, it is all noble and fine but we must create room for them to express themselves, for them to experience their childhood to know that it is ok for them to speak out,” she said.

Onido advised the boys to express themselves and cry out when things are not going on well them, not minding the mindset that they have been raised up with.

“The message I have for the boys today is that there is no future without them. We reckon with them, we love them and it is ok to cry out when you are not ok, when you don’t feel fine,” Onido advised.

She expressed her joy that every international and local organizations they contacted on the issues of the wellbeing of the boy child has assured of their support for the noble course.

Onido noted that they are open more collaborations, adding that they have written to international and local NGOs, and government for collaboration, and that they have received positive responses from them.

It's disheartening, insensitive and demoralising in the face of the current hardship being experienced in the country. The Nigerian worker deserves more, subsidy on fuel and electricity has been removed and you add what cannot cover for the consequences in increase in cost of transport and payment of electricity.

At the end nothing will happen, after compensating political allies with appointments and some are waiting to be compensated, you will be a fool to think some of these agencies will be scrapped and merged.

This machines will eventually take over our lives just like in the movies

It's funny how majority of the populace think a crossover night has a bearing on their lives. The decision to be better starts with doing right not a cross over night.
While people in advance countries gather round remarkable spots to watch the clock hit 12am and scream happy new year, people in this part of the world are occupied with cross over night.

Indeed many are mad only few are roaming. This is crazy and truly wicked

May Allah forgive your shortcomings and grant you jannah. Ameen

It's funny how things get handled in this part of the world. This info is not supposed to find its way to the media and the DSS and other security at best bet run a covert ops to ambush these criminals when they intend to carry out this attack and rid the society of them permanently by either arresting or neutralizing them

200k will still not be ok in this Nigeria
