May that faith scatter your blokos there. Ode.

Same man whose government wants to disconnected Aso Rock from the epileptic national grid due to their gross incompetency and ineptitude is asking the citizens bearing the brunt of their national failure by keeping faith with a failed government.

To think that Adelabu still have the guts to insults sensibility by planning to contest for governorship in Oyo state tells a lot about how this incompetent people rate the citizens. You have to be incredible stupid and irresponsible to defend this govt

The minister assured that once the government’s plans begin to take effect, Nigerians will start seeing the positive results of the reforms in the power sector.

This is after about 3 years of your uselessness? So to provide 24 hours electricity is now rocket science to Tinubu and his APC?

These guys don't even know they have already spent 3 years in power, yet they keep telling us to be patient

BTW, Tinubu has no feasible plan for power other than handing it over to governors who will never invest state kobo in it.

Is this not the recently coronated Chief Darkness I of Nigeria title holder?

The Minister of Power is "the fake certificate holder". The Minister of Petroleum is also a fake certificate holder.

What is the sense in appointing a failure of a "Minister" who is waiting for a fake certificate holder who promised his data boiz not to snatch and grab for him if he comes for another round of snatching in 2027 when he fails to improve electricity

Even Adelabu knows that he is telling a huge lie

Thunder fire this adebubu

What are the plans Tinubu has? The power minister can't be telling Nigerians to have faith in plans that he himself cannot elucidate. He is the worst performing minister in Tinubu's government and that's saying something.

This man don't have shame can he tell Nigeria anything he achieve since three years.

Says the minister who goes around with power bank

Just imagine these people

ebi like say this man head dey pain am.
I no get light for house and office for over 5 days now and you say I should have faith
Which kind yeye faith
And the weather is extremely Hot
Am very angry

You wey dey use power bank for office? Omo una really see us less but I don't blame you people I blame the jobless data enablers boys that keeps defending you lunatics for peanuts.

Shut it, Tinubu doesn't have any plan for Nigerians.

Thunder strike you even tinubu is using solar in aso rock

Even The Tinubu Has No Faith in Himself

Why does he look like an elede wearing glasses?

He used his mouth talk say we should not vote for him if he fail to fix Nigeria electricity.. he came into power electricity became worst than ever , now you are telling us to have faith in him... Oga we no dey work with faith.. he have to go let's try another person

Orlandoo:
May that faith scatter your blokos there. Ode.

Looooolz,,,
Abeg take am easy Na, Chai, my belle o

Hahaha.

Just imagine this guy.
For 3 years now we have been hearing the same thing.

Shameless man.

The old man told us to vote him out after 4 years if he doesn't work magic in the electricity sector.

It's almost 4 years, and still we haven't seen any magic.

We understand that we should all go solar since vandals won't allow the grid to rest

Every one destroying Nigeria for polical advantage won't live to enjoy the renewed Nigeria from renewed hopes

This man is a very useless man.

This is your level of understanding sir. Keep deceiving yourself and some politically blinded Nigerians.

Faith abi and he installed solar in state house. Who do you senseless politicians think you are deceiving?

I rather have faith in the God Almighty that He will send the rains in the spring and by summer the weather in most parts of the country will be sufficiently cool for some to turn off their power guzzling airconditioners and for the hydro dams to be charged enough to contribute more to stabilizing the grid.

Then we will once again shout hallelujah that the government is indeed working miracles.

Electricity? Maybe It’s Time to “Japa” to Benin Republic

If traveling to countries like the UK, USA, or Canada is currently out of your reach, that’s understandable. But relocating to nearby African countries such as Benin Republic or Kenya may be a practical starting point.

Your future is at stake, and you should not allow a broken system to prevent you from achieving your full potential. One of the most damaging challenges facing many Nigerians today is unreliable electricity.

My Personal Experience

I am a software engineer currently working on an innovative software project. Under normal circumstances, building the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) should have taken about four months.

Unfortunately, here I am eight months later and still only about 50% done.


The reason is simple: electricity.

The solar setup I depend on broke down, and the constant power outages have made it extremely difficult to maintain productivity.

This is not even the first time electricity has affected my career.

Some years ago, I lost a high-paying US-based remote software engineering opportunity because I submitted the coding test after the deadline. The delay happened due to lack of electricity, combined with the economic chaos of the cashless policy period and the sudden increase in fuel prices.

That experience still hurts.

Every day I feel the frustration and regret of being in a country where something as basic as electricity can destroy opportunities and delay dreams.

Innovation Cannot Thrive Without Electricity


Right now, the world is experiencing a massive innovation race, driven by artificial intelligence and digital technology.

This moment will determine which countries dominate the global economy in the coming decades.

But the question is:

What is Nigeria doing to prepare for this future?


Do we truly have leaders who are thinking long-term and bold enough to finally solve the electricity problem once and for all?

The greatest gift any government can give its youth is reliable electricity.

Without electricity:

- innovation slows down
- businesses struggle to survive
- young talents lose opportunities
- productivity collapses

Countries that understand this invest heavily in power infrastructure.

Look at India today and its progress in technology and digital innovation. It is not because Indians are naturally smarter than Nigerians. It is largely because they have systems that support productivity — especially reliable electricity.

Electricity Creates Wealth


Stable electricity does more than power machines.

It powers economic growth.

When electricity is constant:

- small businesses grow faster
- startups can build products and compete globally
- remote workers can serve international companies
- manufacturing becomes cheaper
- the middle class expands

Even a stay-at-home mother can build a valuable online or home-based business if she has reliable electricity and internet access.

Electricity is not just infrastructure.

Electricity is opportunity.

Considering Nearby Alternatives

For young Nigerians who depend on stable electricity for work — especially developers, digital creators, and remote workers — relocating temporarily or permanently to nearby African countries may be worth considering.

Countries like:
- Benin Republic
- Kenya

may provide more stable environments to work and build projects.

You do not necessarily need to move to Europe or America immediately.

Sometimes, a small relocation within Africa can create the stability needed to build something great.

Estimated Cost of Relocating

Nigeria → Benin Republic
Travel from Lagos to Cotonou (the main city in Benin) is relatively cheap.

Road travel: ₦7,500 – ₦15,000 by bus or shared taxi

Executive buses: ₦70,000 – ₦95,000 depending on comfort level

Flight: about ₦150,000 – ₦220,000 for a one-hour flight

Travel time by road is usually 2–6 hours depending on border delays.

Also, Nigerians can enter Benin visa-free for up to 90 days due to ECOWAS agreements.
Intertransport

Nigeria → Kenya
Travel to Kenya is more expensive because it requires a flight.

Round-trip flights from Lagos to Nairobi typically cost about ₦946,000 – ₦1.1 million depending on season.

Some deals range roughly between ₦280,000 – ₦520,000 for economy flights when booked early.

Kenya travel authorization (ETA): about $51–$101.

Final Thought
Nigeria is full of brilliant minds.
But brilliance cannot shine in darkness.
Until reliable electricity becomes a national priority, many young Nigerians will continue to struggle to compete in the global digital economy.

Sometimes the smartest decision is not waiting for the system to change.
Sometimes the smartest decision is changing your environment so your potential can thrive.

What exactly have you been doing for almost 4 years?
