Kelvin30286063:

My mom is from Ese odo local government. Igbobini to be precise but that is from Okunmo, Okitipupa local government. I know Idepe very well. Nice to meet you bro.

You should always ask questions before descending into emotional rants.
Ask them what they did 12 years ago to make them lose access to electricity.
Actions have consequences.

[s]the truth hurts haha .... it stings ... and I am right up in your rib cage with my timberland boot hahaha[/s]....

ivolt:

No.
This is not a case of irresponsible leadership.
The blame lies squarely with the people.
Electricity is not free that is a fact but the people think they can get it for free by introducing
elements of violence.
Since BEDC is a private company, the only reason they wouldn't supply electricity if they know
they can't get paid or safety issues.

Do you know the number of transformers, cables and subsations that were vandalized by so-called
protesters?

Some of these "protesters" even sometimes destroy NEPA infrastructure out of envy of neighboring towns
with electricity to spread misery.

If the town leaders traditional and political can hold a meeting and guarantee the safety of NEPA equipment and staff as
well as pay for the damages that was caused by "angry youths", electricity will be restored asap.

Okay...that one is a general issue.

If you had actually taken time to read, digest and comprehend the opening sentence in my article, you should have understood that the issue I raised was not particular to the people of OKITIPUPA.

IzzyAgu:

This town was a blessing to lots of Urhobos in the past. 1 in every 10 Urhobo had relations who grew up in that part of the country.

What happened to a once booming town?

This country menh!

I remember my time at Irele, the town next to Okitipupa.

The day I found out that a 6 year old boy has never heard up Nepa! In his life, was the day I knew that there are levels to this suffering in Nigeria.

Kelvin30286063:
Hmmm
Op, don't say anything about what you know nothing about. I'm from Okitipupa. That's my home town. Our people caused what they are facing with electricity now. Back in the days, Okitipupa has the best electricity services in ondo state. They refused to pay for power. Then had a major issue with the then NEPA which forced the federal government to disconnect the entire town.
Fast forward to 6 months later, they had a major riot about the issue and thugs burnt all the transformers in the town, burnt all the NEPA offices in the town and even killed some staffs that year. After that, they were totally ignored.
Even now that electricity have been privatized. BEDC who is in charge of power in ondo state asked the people of the town to pay 50% of what they owe and they will help restore power to the town but they refused. Claiming they must see power before they pay any money. Now the town has no hope of ever having power cuz BEDC vowed not to spend millions of naira to restore all the damages if there is no guarantee that they will get their money back.
The governor cannot even intervene since electricity is now in private hands. We are facing a lot of issues with BEDC at the moment and that's down to the fact that the company is owned and controlled by some stupid Benin people.

kpukpuyenke:
Come to DSC in Delta State.
We don't have light for good 6yrs now

Fafesot:

It's you that should re-read what you wrote.
I refuse to engage you on this.

b3llo:
During my stay in Ore there was no light there for a year. Seems like Ondo have electricity issues.

UnabashedIPOB:


The feeling is very mutual...I do NOT care to join issues with you either. But the fact remains that you need to go back and read with comprehension my opening sentence *before you start foaming in the mouth!*

juman:
In case like this, the electric copper wires have been stolen. Like may be some kilometres long o.
Thats most probably the reason.

Failure of the government.
