Most nigerians don't pay their light bills but they will still be ones to condemn and criticize phcn officials when they don't give them electricity. Nothing in life is free people. The Ghana, ivory Coast, Niger republic, that their citizens enjoy stable electricity supply do pay for it. Just look at how this one is fighting an official over what he is supposed to pay.


If you don't want to use PHCN electricity, go get yourself a solar panel and if you can't afford one, buy a generator.
You are ill-informed. Go and cross check your facts. Virtually every household or building in these countries you mentioned are billed through prepaid meter and other accurate billing system, which reverse is the case here in Nigeria.

Family › A Day-old Baby Buried Alive By Her Mother, Found Alive after 2 days by nickxtra(op): 6:59pm On May 23, 2019
A day-old baby which was buried alive by her mother in Birnin-Kebbi, was found alive two days after and rescued by the Hisbah Committee, Kebbi State.

Our correspondent gathered the mother of the baby, (name withheld) and her friend, had lodged in a hotel along bye pass road, Birnin-Kebbi, for two days from where they sneak out to bury the baby in the night at the back of the hotel.

While confirming the incident on Thursday to newsmen, the Director Sharia Religious Affairs Department, Kebbi State, Alhaji Abubakar, Muhammad Lamne Augie, said it was the persistent cries of the baby that attracted passersby who pulled the baby girl out from the shallow grave.

“The baby girl was buried alive by her mother who lodged in … hotel with her friend for two days. After they had buried the baby, two days after, they went to the scene to verify if the baby had died. But to their surprise, when they open the grave, the baby’s cries rang out, so they ran away.

“But when the baby continued crying, passerby raced to the scene where they discovered the baby buried in the ground. They removed her from the ground, alert us, and we came to the scene to rescue the baby.

“On further enquiry, residents of the area told us that they saw two girls around the scene and they said they came from the hotel. So, we went to the hotel where we apprehended the two suspects.”

The director along the state vice-chairman, Alhaji Mamuda Geza, and state secretary, Alhaji Ibrahim Ahmad, attributed the incident to unwanted pregnancy, stressing that parents and religious leaders need to do a lot against societal vices.

They added that the baby had been returned to the mother with strict conditions attached by the court because the orphanage home would not accept a baby whose mother is alive.
Politics › Re: JUST IN: Saraki, Dogara, Others Defection Unlawful, Says Court by nickxtra(m): 2:39pm On May 17, 2019
ExAngel007:
The Federal High Court has declared as unlawful
the defection of 53 lawmakers in the National
Assembly to other political parties.


Delivering the judgement today, Justice Okon
Abang held that based on the judgement of the
Supreme Court, which gave reasons that would
allow for defection, the lawmakers did not meet
that requirement.

The judgement followed a suit filed by the Legal
Defence Assistance Project (LEDAP), challenging
the defection of the Senate President Dr Bukola
Saraki, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Yakubu Dogara and 51 other
lawmakers and Senator Godswill Akpabio.


LEDAP had asked the court to order the
lawmakers to vacate their seats in the National
Assembly and return all salaries and allowances
earned since their defection, arguing that the
lawmakers defected from their political parties for
selfish reasons other than division in their parties
as prescribed by law.

But in the case of Senator Godswill Akpabio,
Justice Abang held that he did not violate the law
because he neither decamped nor defected to the
All Progressives Congress (APC) with the facts
before the court.

The court had on Monday, granted leave to the
senator to file an application challenging the suit
by LEDAP, saying that there is no evidence before
it that he was personally served, since the suit is
not a class act against the Senate.

It's not only sweeter, it lasts long in the pot. When the bag got finished, I bought another Big Bull bag of rice. When it finished, I bought another bag that we are cooking now.

Politics › Re: Only 10 Nigerian States Economically Viable, 17 Bankrupt [see Details] by nickxtra(m): 9:41pm On May 12, 2019
Ebullience:
The Economic Confidential on Sunday released its Annual States Viability Index (ASVI) report.

It showed that 17 States are insolvent as their Internally Generated Revenues (IGR) in 2018 were far below 10% of their receipts from the Federation Account Allocations (FAA) in the same year.

The index declared that without the monthly disbursement from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), many states remain unviable, and cannot survive without the federally collected revenue, mostly from the oil sector.


The IGR are generated by states through Pay-As-You-Earn Tax (PAYE), Direct Assessment, Road Taxes and revenues from Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

The IGR of the 36 states of the federation totalled N1.1 trillion in 2018 as compared to N931 billion in 2018, an increase of N172 billion.

The report further indicates that the IGR of Lagos State of N382bn is higher than that of 30 States put together whose Internally Generated Revenues are extremely low, and poor compared to their allocations from the Federation Account.

Meanwhile, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, which is not a state but the nation’s capital generated N65bn IGR against N29bn it got from the Federation Account in 2018.

Lagos State remained steadfast in its number one position in IGR with a total revenue generation of N382bn compared to FAA of N260bn which translate to 146% in the twelve months of 2018.

It is followed by Ogun State which generated IGR of N84.55bn compared to FAA of N93bn representing 90%; Rivers with N112bn compared to FAA of N237bn representing 47% and Kwara State with a low receipt from the Federation Account has maintained its impressive IGR by generating N23bn compared to FAA of N81bn representing 28%.

Others with impressive IGR include Edo with IGR of N28bn compared to FAA of N112bn representing 25%; Kano generated N44bn compared to FAA of N183bn representing 24%; Enugu with IGR of N22bn compared to FAA of N92bn representing 23%; Ondo with IGR of N24bn compared to FAA of N108bn representing 22.77%; Kaduna with IGR of N29bn compared to FAA of N131bn representing 22.44% while Delta State earned N58bn IGR against FAA of N285bn representing 20%.

The report noted that ten states with impressive IGR generated N808bn in total, while the remaining states merely generated a total of N295bn in 2018.

While the report provides shocking discoveries, the states with less than 10% IGR have remained 17 as in the previous year 2017.

It added: “The poor states may not stay afloat outside the Federation Account Allocation due to socio-political crises including insurgency, kidnapping, armed-banditry and herdsmen-farmer clashes.

“Other states lack foresight in revenue generation drive coupled with arm-chair governance.

“The states that may not survive without the Federation Account due to poor internal revenue generation are Ebonyi which realized a meagre N6.14bn compared to a total of N76bn it received from the Federation Account Allocation (FAA) in 2018 representing about 7.98%; Bayelsa with IGR of N13.6bn compared to FAA of N192bn representing 7.10%; Taraba N5.96bnbn compared to FAA of N88bn representing 6.77%; Adamawa with IGR of N6.2bn compared to N97bn of FAA representing 6.77% and Borno with IGR of N6.52bn compared to N122bn of FAA representing 5.3% within the period under review.


“The major poor internal revenue earners are Katsina which generated N6.9bn compared to FAA of N138bn representing 5.03%; Yobe N4.48bn compared to FAA of N89bn representing 4.86% and lastly Kebbi N4.88bn IGR compared to FAA of N101bn representing 4.88%.”

The Economic Confidential ASVI further showed that only three states in the entire Northern region have IGR above 20% in comparison to their respective allocations from the Federation Account. They are Kwara, Kano and Kaduna States. Meanwhile seven states in the South recorded over 20% IGR in 2018. They are Lagos, Ogun, Rivers, Edo, Enugu, Ondo and Delta States.

The four Southern states with the poorest Internally Generated Revenue of less than 10% compared to their FAA in 2018 are Akwa Ibom, Ekiti, Ebonyi and Bayelsa. Similarly, 13 Northern States have poorest IGR, namely Benue, Nasarawa, Gombe, Zamfara, Niger, Bauchi, Jigawa, Taraba, Adamawa, Borno, Katsina, Yobe and Kebbi States.

Family › My Wife Married My Best Man Without Divorcing Me, Husband Cries Out(photos) by nickxtra(op):
In an interview with the vanguard, Shola Motunbi, 39, the husband to Marian, on Friday, has accused his wife of betraying their marriage by getting married to a man who he has said, best him on their wedding day. According to Shola “I am married to Marian Ekiomado, on August 6th 2016 both tradition and the white wedding took place, we also had marriage registry. However, a few months into our wedding I caught her with different text messages on her phone and discovered Facebook account with her boyfriends.

whenever I leave the house she always removes the wedding frames from the house and invites her boyfriend in, meanwhile she has a little girl called Treasure that was her first daughter outside wedlock. Whenever I came home the daughter will tell me that daddy mummy removes the frame from the house and one brother came, she almost kills her daughter that night if not that I was around. After all the arguments the parent begged, and so I let go until again, I caught her chatting with a man she was having an amorous affair with on Facebook I confronted her and the mother, but she vehemently denied having anything to do with the man”. “But what got me suspicious was that after she was 3 to 4 months pregnant, having terminated 2 pregnancy in the name of stress. she called her younger brother to fight and injured me in the house and I left and returned after she delivered on the 5th September 2017, I went there just once to see the child with my family after then she refuses to take my calls and refuses to bring the child for me to see. These made me get suspicious the more and so demanded a DNA test which she and her parent refused, to my greatest surprise I receive a call on Saturday 27th if April 2019 that she’s getting married in her mother’s house at Sapele road. I later found that she was getting married to the man who bests me.”

Meanwhile whenever I leave the house she always removes the wedding frames from the house and invites her boyfriend in, meanwhile she has a little girl called Treasure that was her first daughter outside wedlock. Whenever I came home the daughter will tell me that daddy mummy removes the frame from the house and one brother came, she almost kills her daughter that night if not that I was around. After all the arguments the parent begged, and so I let go until again, I caught her chatting with a man she was having an amorous affair with on Facebook I confronted her and the mother, but she vehemently denied having anything to do with the man”.

Shola has since filed a suit in a magistrate court to seek redress in what he termed has “breach of marital laws”, he has, however, not disclosed the one in particular to journalists as at the time of filing this report Marian Ekimoado, when contacted denied the statement but refused to give newsmen detail information to confirm the veracity of Shola’s claim. A source close to the Ekiamados, who spoke under a strict condition of anonymity, has however confirmed the story, according to the source “ Marian has been dating her recently wedded husband long before she got married to shola without his knowledge.” According to the source, their relationship grew stronger after Marian had succeeded in chasing shola out of the house with thugs, the source claimed.

You are on ground in Edo to make such a statement that Obaseki has forgotten Edo Central, when it is Edo South and Central that are the greatest beneficiaries in Obaseki led State government

The "no man is God" slogan brought in Oshiomole and Godfatherism was dealt with.

He should focus on National level and leave the governor and his deputy to manage the state affairs.
How can he focus at the National Level when his backyard is on fire. His legacy and APC structures in Edo are being eroded by the inaction or the seemingly "I don't care attitude" of Governor Obaseki. Can you imagine he could not deliver his Unit, ward and council to APC? A sitting Governor for that matter. He certainly needs the political dexterity and doggedness of Oshiomole to survive in the next gubernatorial Election, if he eventually becomes the flag bearer.

Excaperx:
Ahead the 2020 governorship election in Edo state, political gladiators in Edo state are gearing up to the challenges ahead, as political leaders and their followers are aligning and re-aligning with structures that suit their interest. The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state appears to be heading for some crisis due to the recent moves by some leaders of the party in the state that they are opposed to the second bid of governor Godwin Obaseki. Similar crisis is also brewing in the state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after some members are agitating for the emergence of the senator representing Edo South senatorial district, Senator Mathew Urhoghide as against Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, who contested against the incumbent governor of Edo state, Obaseki in 2016. But the former chairman of Owan West Local Government Area, Dan Asekhame believes that the younger generation should be given the opportunity to vie for the governorship just as he declared that the duo of Ize-Iyamu and Urhoghide must give others a chance to try the governorship.

But as expected, the battle for the soul of APC has continued to heighten in Edo state especially with the rumored rift between the governor and his predecessor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. However, the governor who arrived the state Wednesday after his one-month vacation, debunked the rumoured rift, describing it as fake news. According to him, “the rumoured rift between me and my predecessor is fake news”. But prior to the Airport reception, Saturday Vanguard gathered there was a shouting match between the two top officials of the administration over whether to accord the governor the reception at the airport or not. It was gathered that while one of the top officials argued that the governor had called to say that the planned reception should be cancelled, his colleague disagreed, arguing that with his position in government his colleague lacked the authority to ask him to cancel the event. The argument, we gathered, scuttled the earlier expected fanfare the airport reception would have elicited which included a street walk by the governor and his supporters at the airport. However, supporters of the governor led by his deputy, Philip Shaibu, had commenced the building of a political structure called the Obaseki, Shaibu Movement across the 18 Local Government Areas. It was gathered that the structure is being oiled in the event that Oshiomhole decides to dump the trio of Obaseki, Shaibu and Ogie in 2020. Ironically, while the governor was being welcomed at the Benin Airport, last Wednesday, some APC leaders moved to puncture that structure when leaders of that group across the 18 Local Government Areas of the state gathered at the Buhari Campaign office located at the Government Reservation Area (GRA) Benin City and vowed to revive the APC after they alleged that the party was losing momentum in the state. The meeting was convened by the former Attorney General of the state, Barr.Henry Idahagbon and former member House of Representatives, Samson Osagie. The meeting was chaired by veteran politician, Engr. Festus Evbuonwa. Some of those who attended were former member House of Reps, Patrick Ikhariale, Ken Ihensekhen, former youth leader of the APC and now President of RTEAN, Comrade Osakpanwa Eriyo, Tony Kabaka, former Commissioners in the state, Gideon Obakhan and Chris Ebare, Jackson Eribo, Mathew Ehigie, Macdonal Obasuke, S.S. Mayaki and many others.

The group while commending the leadership of the National Chairman of the state, Comrade Oshiomhole both in the state and the Nation, they attributed the woeful outing of the party in the just concluded Presidential and National Assembly elections to the dwindling fortunes of the party following weak leadership. Engr. Evbuowan who addressed the meeting, urged members to remain calm and focused and expressed optimism that the leader of the party, Comrade Oshiomhole will work together with the party to produce a governorship candidate capable of winning the 2020 governorship election. They observed that the party would have been kicked out of the governorship election if election held in the state now. He said this was due to the anger of majority of the leaders of the party in the state. Tony Kabaka Adun, who also spoke at the meeting, lamented that “we have been treated like slaves after ensuring victory for the governor in 2016. Some of us are still in this party today because of Oshiomhole who used all of us to deliver Obaseki. But in 2020, we must have a change and if Oshiomhole refuses to give us another person and insists on Obaseki, for the first time, we will go against him. After laboring, we saw a situation whereby people from Lagos and Delta state are now enjoying the fruit of our labour. If they say they are not sharing money, we have no problem with that, but we have not even seen the development they promised to give us with the money. All we are still seeing today are Oshiomhole’s legacies which they are trying to destroy including the five star Benin Central hospital. But we will not allow them. We will fight anybody who tries to destroy Oshiomhole’s legacies in this state because he is our father, we will not fail to repay their ingratitude”.

The meeting however urged the party leaders to go to their respective wards and Local Governments to attract more people into the party despite the frustrations from some quarters. Reacting to the claim by the governor’s handlers that Obaseki is currently the most popular politician in the state, a chieftain of the APC in the state, Mahmud Mohammed described it as not true. “I have read so many articles both on social media and the print obviously emanating from Osadebey Avenue, where they tried in vain to argue why Obaseki deserved a second term. And unfortunately, they tend to blame other people rather than the Governor over the failure of the party in the National Assembly/Presidential election. The truth is that the governor and his cabal from Lagos and Delta State have weakened the APC in the state. The only people singing his praises are those benefiting from him. I read where they described the Governor as the most popular politician in Edo state which is not true. The question is, what made him popular now? Is it for not delivering Edo South senate which Patrick Obahiagbon contested under the APC, which also is the senatorial district of the governor? Is he popular because he could not deliver President Buhari in his ward, Local Government and senatorial district? Is he popular for marginalizing the party members? I use this opportunity to urge the state Executive of the APC to set up a committee to try those who were involved in anti-party activities during the election. The governor could be invited so we could hear from him why APC lost the election in Edo South.”

Oshiomhole had continued to keep mute about the political situation in his Edo APC, even as his loyalists are said to be campaigning for a change in the state. Apparently to douse tension, Obaseki’s camp has declared no rift between their principal and Oshiomhole. But the two men have not been together for months now. Besides, Oshiomhole was conspicuously absent when the state government celebrated the victory of the party in the House of Assembly Elections in the state where the APC won the entire 24 seats in the House. However, the next few months will be interesting in the state. The public will be eager to see how this new group, tagged Edo APC Revival Group intends to confront the Obaseki, Shaibu Movement in this brewing political contest. Of interest will also be Oshiomkhole’s position on 2020 election. The expected battle between Pastor Ize-Iyamu and Senator Urhoghide in the PDP will be another interesting contest.
