I'm also going through the same thing. The heat this days is becoming something else, and the change we voted for has been negative. I see a country where the leader travels to every country yet we the people that voted him are suffering. I doubt if this man knows we are going through hardship in this country, I think there should be an open forum for us to pour out our mind whereby it will get to his desk.

but guy Jonathan too was not good, with this crash in oil price it would have been worst under uncle jona. it's just unfortunate that a country like Nigeria can only produce bubu and Jonathan for presidency.
My broda that is why i don't vote ooo. you look the ballot box, it's just a case of choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea. How can a country of 180m people keep churning out useless set of leaders since 1999. na waa ooo

Infact,brethren,let us pray!

Repeat after me!

My Faaatherr! My Faaatherr!

Everybody! Who worked for the victory of this APC government,either by campaigning or by voting!

What are you waiting for?!

Oya! Fall down and die!

Die! Die! Die

The funny part is that while people are suffering you see some people justifying this act of gross incompetence of the APC led Government. I know even Tinubu is not happy with the way things are going because I know he does not associate himself with something that is not right. of cause they know that people are suffering

Would power supply drop in the US if Buhari or. even Donald Trump were to become president? I doubt it. We should learn to build institutions that last not looking for superhuman leaders who can fix it all.

Mind you the current blackout is more likely a form of blackmail because we refused the new tariff. It started immediately after the Senate put a stop to it.

where if Fashola ?

I can remember how he used to blame GEJ everyday for everthing
The only thing fashola has succeded in doing is to increase electricity tarriff nationwide while even the power generation and distribution has drastically declined. But this was the man that was running his mouth like an idiot when GEJ and his team was working round d clock to stabilize power at the most minimal cost on the people

Bros... if you're fretting over 10 naira increase you need another job.
So a price increase of 20% is nothing to you right?

You say he needs another job. Are good jobs really available?

Please change your viewpoint for once and look at things from the perspective of the common people.

As I'm writing this I'm sweating profusely,I've been practically angry at everyone since I came back from work.
For the past six years, I've not experienced terrible power failure like this.Our transformer picks supply from a 33kv line,which make us have at least 15 hours supply of electricity everyday,except if there is a major fault.
Then,N500 petrol can remain in my generator for 3 months,I hardly switch it on because I also have inverter.
I came back from work,I was told we only have 15 minutes power supply since morning.
Nowhere to buy petrol, I have tried and tried,the heat is damn too much.
I decide to sit outside and it seems some force command the air not to blow.

Price of food stuff has increased sharply,what kind of Country is this.Why is the word Buhari synonymous with suffering.
I just remembered that our president did not handle any personal successful business since he left office as a head of state.
Look at his cattle farm,the cows be like something wey get AIDS.

Frankly speaking, some people are like that,they are failure personified.
I pray it won't be the case this time around because it involves all of us.

I don't even know what to type again.I just tire
hahahaha... u neva c anytin, e jus star o... dat time u were on social campaigning and chanting "change" "change" u didn't listen to the processing ur brain was making about buhari's cattle farm. so no complain yet o, this is d beginning.

They ignore the senate's order. I paid for my prepaid yesterday and the printout (and that of other customers)clearly shows that they have commenced the new 45% increased tarriff. U no know fashola, he's a very stubborn man and he doesn't do anything that won't cost more on the consumers,regardless of the poor quality of service rendered

I dnt knw about u guys but I liv in Port Harcourt, power supply has been a nightmare compared to when I used to base in calabar. In calabar I used to experience steady power supply, if there's no light for upto 3days, just know the transformer is having issues. Ever since I came to port harcourt as @September 2015, power supply has been a very serious issue till date. If not for my uncle's big inverter which we put on d gen @night to charge till morning to b used during the day, I dnt know how it would have been. To those without power supply, I feel for u guys, d best u can do is tak a shower anything ur body feels uncomfortable due to power supply issue...

I feel the same way bro. Unfortunately,I was one of the folks that were campaigning for Buhari on line,but i'm so much disappointed now that I don't even listen to news that much anymore. Buhari is like a curse to Nigeria,he's complicating matters the more and I got to realize that Tunde Idiagbon was actually ruling Nigeria during their military regime.
So will it be correct to say that you campaigned for Buhari out of Ignorance?

Until we line up generator importers, lock them up and throw the keys away, no magic can revamp the power sector in Nigeria. They pay huge bribes to electricity generation companies to sabotage the system.

This light issue varies though, to be fair. Some sides in lagos enjoys light while odas don't. But one truth is that the economy is crashing without any solution in site. Mr. President should just put pride aside and consult economy experts on the way forward not depending on his INCOMPETENT ministers or else we don enter one chance.

God bless you for that question.
The fastest way to annoy me is to see anyone who campaigned for buhari to come now to complain. Nothing annoys me like it cos we warned them but they didn't care! Now,they have succeded in putting us all in this mess and now that its too late,they want to regret.

Just 9 months of the new government and we are writing this yet we had 16years of failed governance.
