A drop in the ocean. Abapower is charging 104 per KWH for everybody for 24/7 electricity; Maybe, because they have gas in abundance in that locality

jmoore:
I have made several complaints to Abapower customer care and they have not resolved this, that’s why I am bringing this out to the public.


Abapower placed us on the wrong band, thereby overcharging us, which is extortion. My district is Ariaria district under Ukwa 33 feeder, Enyimba transformer We are on prepaid metre. I previously complained about the 95 naira per unit they were charging us because the power supply in our area is poor, only to check a week later to see that they have increased the charge to 102 naira per kwh. R2SB-NMD is what is on our receipt, which is a wrong classification.


To paint the true picture of power supply in our area, I took down records from Sat 27th April to 3rd May 2024. Sat 8 hours supply, Sunday no power, Monday 3 hours supply, Tuesday no power, Wednesday 45 minutes supply, Thursday no power, Friday 1 hour. Out of 168 hours, they only gave us power for 12 hours 45 minutes of power supply in a week, which is not up to 10% of 168 hours. This means the average supply per day is around 1.7 hours a day.

The lowest band category by NERC is Band E, which is a minimum of 4 hours a day but we are getting an average of 1-2 hours per day and are being charged same rate as those in Band B.

I think you are an ingrate, AbaPower is charging everyone within their Business District a flat rate of 102 naira per kwh and you are complaining. Be patient with them, by July this year, Abapower will give 24/7 electricity to everyone in their business district at a flat rate of 102 naira per KWH

I am in Band A of PHED and using 8 units daily ( This will translate to roughly N60K per month). Guys, it is time to relocate to Aba for cheaper electricity

I already got more drugs today, and I'm hoping it will work. I'm only scared for my wife not to contract it because she's pregnant. If it's really chicken pox, I heard it's extremely transferable.

I HATE you with every vein in my body because of your selfishness and carelessness. You disgust me, how can you have a wife at home and you are sleeping with a prostitute without protection?. How can you trust a girl you did RVS on last year and you were not residing in the same house with her, not to talk off a prostitute?

I am 90% sure that aside from the possible chicken pox as diagnosed by the doctors you consulted, you have contracted HIV

The Road might be needed in the Lagos Areas, but not as from Delta-to-Cross River as we have an existing road called the East-West Road that will be not more than 10 nautical miles parallel to this so-called coastal road if completed. why waste resources?,
Tell me the big cities that this road will connect aside from Lagos?.
Why do you need to connect port-2-port using the railway, instead of separately connecting ports to the hinterlands with the railway?.
Is this part of the plan to make Lekki Port the transhipment port for all other ports in Nigeria?

BetterNaija123:

Sorry am not doubting you. But in what areas did you observe the mediocre work?

Look at the poor quality and uninspiring colour of the tiles, uneven walls, the death-inviting colour of emulsion paint, and the rickety PVC ceiling. I did not want to talk about the poor exterior finishing and color riot painting. Hospitals are painted white/off-white around the world for a reason

People recover from hospitals because of the quality and ambiance of the environment.

Soludo and mediocrity are like Siamese twins. Inseparable!

PressMyButton:
Trust me, the president's media team will ignore him as usual. Only an idiot will say a road infrastructure that'd pass through 8 states with the inclusion of train track is not a priority. Pls, someone should inform him that "the presidential borehole" he dug in Zaira has stopped working within two weeks, that should be his priority.

If you know the geography of the southern tips of these 8 States, you will know that the road is not needed, especially from Delta to Cross River. Tell me the cities that this road will connect. It will amount to duplication of effort, except they want to connect the Road to East-West Road at Effurun Round About, near Warri

TInubu and his goons want to use our common wealth to connect coastal Ondo to Lagos in preparation for Regionalism. Simples!

no force on earth can make peter obi president

The same thing was said of the present Senegalese President - Bassirou Diomaye Faye. The rest is history now

Babalegba:
The devil can make Peter Obi president. He told Jesus that he would give him the kingdoms of the earth if he bowed for him.
The Agulu scammer is on a long thing though as the offer is bound to come with unpalatable consequences

The same offer was made to Tinubu in 2023. Obi will negotiate a better offer though, things will unfold soon

Bestmanfornow:

This is ongoing Dualization of Unizik Contractor Niger Cat

Soludo Roads are functional and substandard, and not standard and aesthetically appealing like the roads of Otti or even the Supreme Court Governor.

If you have seen better, you will not ascribe standard and this UNIZIK-Okpuno (Obi Okoli Ave) in the same sentence.
Issues with that particular road:
1. Tiny Road Divider - this will affect the road aesthetics
2. Open Drainage
3. Houses too close to the drainage - it has a prison atmosphere
4. No std walkway

Bestmanfornow:

Maybe I should show you what flood did to substandard road Otti Constructed I decided to let it go if it was Prof Soludo you guys would've created 100 post about the road hypocritical anmls

When did Abia and Otti become a standard for Ndi Anambra? BTW, on Road Construction, Otti is doing better than Mr Governor.
The small portion of trunk D Pepple Road that failed in Aba happened not because of shoddy job( the road has a standard gutter on either side), but refuse that blocked the gutter at that section that caused the flood to overflow.

Bestmanfornow:


All these pity frustrated minds
GELD, FCC, ZCC, Niger cat, TEC Engineering are reputable companies

Please show the world the standard roads constructed by any of the mentioned mediocre contractors in Anambra State.

Bestmanfornow:

Gov Soludo is using reputable companies to construct major roads

Please name the reputable companies that he has used or currently using for Anambra Roads?.

christejames:
This is a welcome development



He should use a reputable company to execute this project.

1. Am I happy that this road will be dualized? YES
2. Am I happy that Soludo will construct the road? NO.
3. Why 2 above? Soludo will do substandard work on that Road
4. Please allow the Federal Government to do standard dualization on that road
5. If Soludo must do this road, he must use RCC as they are currently mobilized in Anambra by MTN/FG
6. Tueh, Soludo is in bed with substandard road construction

A Landlord in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State threw out his tenant and her belongings under a heavy downpour.

The lady in the picture was thrown out on Monday by her landlord for her inability to pay her rent of 3,5OO per month. So for 5 days since she was thrown out, she has nowhere else to move her things.

Interestingly, this lady is a graduate from Ikot Abasi LGA of the state. According to her, she graduated from the University of Uyo in 2005, served, and returned home, and hasn't been able to secure a job since then. This was the saddest part of her story as she only sells groundnuts to make ends meet.

May God help every one of us after school.🙏

Please has this lady's case been settled now? What course did she study? Any verifiable account number to assist her in the interim?

If you have never been there, you will not know what this lady is going through

franchasofficia:
This is a welcomed development.

I don't know why Yorubas are angry about this bold step taken by some bold Yorubas.

Dear Yorubas, you ought to be celebrating this great move by your brave daughter. Igbos will never join Northern Nigeria to attack Yorubas for trying to leave Nigeria to form a Yoruba nation, it is a welcomed development all Yorubas ought to celebrate and embrace.


There is no need to panic, Igbos are not interested in keeping Nigeria as one and will never join any region that want to force Nigerians to remain one nation to fight you not to leave, we will never do that.


Instead as Yoruba declares their secession from Nigeria, Biafra will seize the opportunity to also declare their own secession and it will become a very peaceful disintegration of Nigeria without a single gun shot.



Dear Yorubas, this is the only way to have absolute and total control of your region devoid of any intruder, be it Igbos or Fulanis or Hausas. Once you have your own Yoruba nation, you have the right to reject and evict anybody from your new country, and you Yorubas should be happy you have Lagos to kickstart your beautiful Yoruba nation devoid of stubborn, annoying Igbo people.



I stand with Yoruba nation.


I am praying fervently for Yorubas to have the collective courage to finish this great project of secession from Nigeria.


May Sango and all the gods of Yoruba land bless the Yoruba nation agitators and help you guys achieve your heart desire.


We all will be far better as foreign neighbors just as Nigerians are with Ghanaians, Togolese, and Nigeriens.


Nigeria can never develop beyond what it is today as a one nation, that is the brutal truth. We are too divided to build a great nation. We dislike each other so much to build a developed nation together. Stop the pretence of coexistence, it is not possible, let Nigeria divide peacefully for the future of our unborn generations and for peace to reign.



I stand with Yorubas on Yoruba Nation agitation.

Igbos stand with Yorubas on their secession move.


God bless Odua

I knew it. Biafra was the first state to recognise Democratic Republic of Yoruba (DRY) as declared

Jagabanbattle:
At the rate wish Atiku keeps attacking Lagos-Calabar highway project, someone will think he’s being serious but he is nothing but a clown. An upgraded Peter Obi who called national tv to cover the opening of a single borehole.

I don’t know if the issue Atiku has with the project is funding or because it only leads to Calabar and not Bornu. With the attack from the Northern Elders, one can only pretend it’s a coincidence.

Why can’t Atiku wait patiently for 2 more years to campaign with the failure of this road project? Mr. Dubai, I’m sure you go through Dubai highway regularly, how much do you think that highway cost? Besides, our roads are more expensive than Dubai roads cause it’s a must to construct drainage on roads in Nigeria why Dubai has no drainage for their roads.

This road is from Lagos-Calabar and not Lagos-Benin Republic just like we have Kano-Niger Republic rail constructed by former president Muhammad Buhari who is from Northern Nigeria. If stray bullet hit you on this thread, I’m not sorry about it.

The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Railway line will be cheaper and economically viable. Imagine, asking HITech to reserve the coastal road median for the Railway line in a BOT arrangement. That railway line will not come to fruition in the lifetime of the BOT period as it will reduce traffic on the coastal road. We do not think in this country at all

Faiththatworks:
That's why I campaigned for Asiwaju,I'm so happy with the statement of these faceless Northern group.
It means Asiwaju is working,he's hitting those parasitic element below the belt and they are seriously feeling the Pinch.
I daresay Atiku or even Peter Obi would never have dared to go against the Northern Establishment,but Asiwaju is taking the battle to their doormot as they say in Pidgin English.
I read Kwankwanso Reply to the issue of State Police and I was stunned,I know he was speaking for the Northern Establishment, thereafter the Governor of Kano state tried to also raise an opposition to the Issue of State Police but the ship had already sailed.
The battle for the Soul of Nigeria isn't for people like Atiku who are bonafide members of the parasitic Northern Elite who have benefited greatly by milking Nigeria Dry or an up start like Peter Obi who sincerely has genuine intentions but like President Jonathan will be hijacked by these Vultures called the Northern Establishment.
Asiwaju has taken a bulldozer to Aso Rock,and he's bringing down bit by bit,the fangs of these parasites on Nigeria.
The other Day,Mr Cardoso went for the jugular of the cash cow of the Northern Establishment in CBN,he shut down the Interventionist pipeline Buhari and Emefiele opened to give trillions of Naira to Northerns in the name of Agriculture intervention.
Asiwaju is shutting every pipe these people have used to suck Nigeria, I'm therefore not surprise by their crocodile tears.
God bless Nigeria.

Tinubu no doubt is making attempt to reposition the country on the path of progress with his policies, this could be viewed as pro-business and anti North.

Tinubu is a minority President as he did not score more than 50% of total votes cast in 2023, He can not alienate the East and the North at the same time if he wants re-election, except he has perfected his rigging plans which might through the nation in flames

Please advice Tinubu to go full throttle and restructure the nation, as he might not be allowed 2nd tenure. Obi has entered into the North deeply for 2027, and he will play safe if elected to not rock the boat

DeepThroater:


Disgrace ?

That fat pig has already exposed your ambitions .

Come and carve or annex any state in the SS into your SE.


We dey wait you.

Rational reasoning will always be clouded by hate. In your other submission, you argued that the influx of SE'ners into Delta North, and Asaba in particular has changed the demographics of Delta State by tilting the balance of power to Delta North in the event of elections.

One can glean from your submission that you are from Delta State, not Delta North. The people of Delta North want to join their kith and kin in SE and be called Anioma State, and I do not think you can stop them. After all, you want them out of your Delta State, why are you worried that they want to join SE?

Just to let you know, the people of Obigbo LGA, Etche LGA, Omuma LGA of present Rivers State, and in your SS, want to join their kith and kin of Ukwa East and Ukwa West LGA of present Abia State to form a new state to be called ENOA, to be in SE.

I am sure that you are of IJAW extraction, please support all Igbos in SS to join SE, then, the new SS will be 100% non-Igbos, and land grabbing as you posited will cease

anonymous1759:
Who said Igbos are not united？see the unity of purpose among Igbos,trying to put the entire South East on a speed lane of development....something big is happening,posterity will certainly be on our side！God's willing.

When will this victimization mentality stop ?
Your Igbo leaders have been governing you guys badly but you blame everything on FG , lol at otti laying good example for other south Eastern leaders to emulate but still want to turn everything about fighting and chest beating.

Please let us give credit to whom credit is due, whatever is happening in Abia in particular and SE, in general, has the blessing of Mr President; otherwise, it will not see the light of day.

24 hours supply for mouth. for over 12 hours now, no light

Do not worry, a 24-hour power supply to Aba will soon start. Be ready to pay the commensurate bill, no meter bye pass

Finally, we go get light for Enyimba city, no more NEPA wahala!

Be ready to pay for light now, no more meter bye-pass!

Igbo talk too much. That is why playing Nigerian politics is hàrd for them. Must you tell the world why you are not protesting. Almost every single Igbo social media influencer page is same posts about protest.

If you knew the politics behind our decision not to protest, you wouldn't make your statement above

God1000:
I knew this would eventually happen, this is the result of ECOWAS failure to remove them

But I wonder how these landlocked countries will survive on their own without the rest of the regional block, some of them still depend heavily on their neighbors for so many things


By helping your neighbor, you are also helping yourself.

A stable Niger republic and ECOWAS will definitely benefit Nigeria

Do not worry about how they will survive as landlocked states, as Senegal will be joining them soon

ogododo:

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said the Nigerian government has, through the backdoor, resumed the payment of subsidies on the premium motor spirit (PMS), otherwise known as petrol.

Recall that on May 29, 2023, during his swearing-in speech, President Bola Tinubu announced an end to the petrol subsidy, triggering a hike in the prices of goods and services in the country.

A few weeks later, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) collapsed the different exchange rate regimes into one, with the value of the Naira to the Dollar weakening.

As of last Friday, the Naira was exchanged with one Dollar at the official market at N1,469.97/$1 and in the parallel market at N1,490/$1.

Over the weekend, the IMF issued a statement on the conclusion of its Executive Board’s Post Financing Assessment with Nigeria and it expressed concerns that the government had capped the prices of fuel at retail stations.

The global lender advised the administration of Mr Tinubu to completely stop the payment of subsidies on petrol to free funds to run the government.

In the past few days, there have been reports of queues returning to petrol stations in major cities in the country, but the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited have allayed the fears of consumers, assuring that it has enough to go around.

After the removal of the petrol subsidy in May 2023, the pump price changed from N185 per litre to N40 per litre and then to N568 per litre at NNPC fuelling stations, while others currently sell above N600.

The government had said the prices would fluctuate after subsidy removal from time to time but the pump price has remained steady despite the prices of crude oil in the global market going up and down.

In the statement made available to Business Post, the IMF said the government has “capped retail fuel and electricity prices” ostensibly to “ease the impact of rapidly rising inflation on living conditions,” “thus partially reversing the fuel subsidy removal.”

However, it noted that, “Fuel and electricity subsidies are costly, do not reach those that most need government support and should be phased out completely.”

The bank commended the government’s focus on revenue mobilization and digitalisation, saying this will improve public service delivery, safeguard fiscal sustainability and eliminate the need for CBN financing through ways and means, which have grown above N20 trillion.

The logical thing to do is to subsidize staple foods and perhaps, healthcare and NOT PMS

aribisala0:

More plausible than what?
Did you just learn the word plausible and were looking for an opportunity to practise it??
In English when you use the word MORE it is a comparator
So if you say more plausible please tell us

More plausible than what?

Mr English Teacher, English is my third language; but if you had read the entire article/report, you would have found out that plausible as used compared multi-million dollar as stated by me and multi-billion dollar as stated by the report

It's your type that will write an essay in examination, where simply definition will suffice

Once again English as a language, and its usage can never be a measure of intelligence

aribisala0:

Great move I am not a believer in so called foreign investment
Only we can develop our country

The idea however of a multibillion dollar cashew nut factory sounds exaggerated

I want to believe that is an error and not the usual noise we know him for

Multimillion-dollar is more plausible!
