Oju Local Government Plunges Into Darkness After Transformer Explodes In Benue by God1000(op): 4:40pm On Jun 10, 2025
Oju Local Government Area in Benue State is plunged into darkness as residents endure for over a month without electricity with no signs of restoration from NEPA. The prolonged blackout has sparked widespread frustration and concern among residents.

This is as a result of explosion from central transformer in the local government.

huh

Having a blind man as a governor, is better than this chief priest, who called himself a Rev Fr who doesn't know governance, he thinks the small congregation he manages as a Paris priest equate to the amount of people in a state..

He should just resign and go back home, I won't stop saying it..

I'm a Catholic and he's the worst governor Nigerians has ever elected.

Instead of him to face the reality of real governance, his problem is Peter obi, who have contributed to the Catholic church, more than he can ever contribute, despite the fact that he's a Catholic priest

The governor is busy praying to God, of we can solve our national problems with prayers why do we need elected officials in the first place, we should just be praying.

Who elected him as Governor? Red flags should go up as soon as a priest wants to be governor. All cries should be directed to him ...if he's still in the State.

Tinubu gave their senator, Abba Morro 1 billion naira for constituency projects. All senators received that money. If the people of oju can't put pressure on senator Moro to get them a transformer, they deserve to remain in darkness.

I can relate.

Yes I know money is involved.

But does it mean the electricity companies don't have money for instances like this? How can you be aware of a transformer malfunction and literally have no means to get it back within a week or so.

Sometimes I just can't for this country..

I wish at least 50 million Nigerians can go and live for just one year in a 1st world country and come back..

When you see instances like this, it's then you realise that our mentality is really poor and we emphasize more on primitive things than things that can actually move us forward in respect to the change in times...ah sigh..

To be from Benue looks like a curse on its own.
From Fulani massive killings to power outage.
Kai.
I pity Benue people. They don't deserve this wickedness. Next time, they won't be swayed by emotions and ignorance in choosing their leader.
RIP in advance to them all.
