The debts will be settled, when the services have been provided. Simple. Money dey for hand, but back never reach ground.

MY BELOVED BIAFRANS
Akinniyi Lateef Samson

Why do we want to secede
Is it because of our oil
Which type of oil
Is it Palm oil or crude oil
I am sure it cannot be crude oil
Because South South has more crude oil than us,And we are almost at the same level with the West
Certainly it is not because of oil

Maybe because of marginalisation
Are we really marginalized
Why didn't we ask for secession during GEJ
Wait o let us look back from 1999
Have we had Senate Presidents
What about powerful Ministers
CBN Governor
Chief of Army Staff
Petroleum Minister
Finance minister (although Delta Ibo)
Aviation Minister
Head of FRSC
Minister of Labour
Secretary to the Federal Government
Deputy Senate President
Deputy Speaker
NAFDAC (We are missing mama Dora)
And many more
Despite all these big portfolios
Did they bring any meaningful development to our region
Did all these people better our region
Or accumulated wealth for themselves
And bought properties in abroad for themselves
Maybe our state Governments were denied federal allocation by the Federal Government
The answer would always be NO

Still on marginalisation
Who is marginalizing who
How many of our brothers from the West or North posted for NYSC to our region
Actually stayed back after their service
To start a life in a strange land
Are we really accommodating like others
How many Westerners have shops in Onitsha
How many Northerners have houses in Nnewi
But we are in every nook and cranny of every region
Others accommodated us
We get jobs in their regions
We set up businesses up across the country
We have even claimed Lagos to be ours
We have one of us as an elected Honorable
Are we really marginalized

Even in our BIAFRAN land
Are we not marginalizing one another
If we get the BIAFRAN of our dream
Are we not going to intimidate and treat my brother from Ebonyi as a second class citizen
Will my brother from Anambra not claim he is superior to us because Ikemba was from there
Will my Enugu brother not remind us of Enugu how was the capital of all Ibo land
Will there not be another civil war among we BIAFRANS

Ronaaldo:
Fashola, thank you so much. Those enugu lawmakers are just jealous that an Anambra man owns and controls EEDC. EEDC is doing very fine in the southeast, with the only exception being the issue of deployment of pre-paid meters which is a contentious issue nationwide.

You say? EEDC over bills folks in Enugu. Person no go get light for im one room apartment, and at the end of the month, he gets a bills of hundred and something thousand, when the only appliance in his house is probably a TV, bulbs and such.

You went to futo that's in the 'cursed region of dirty filthy things'
Hate kills bro.

Ronaaldo:
You have nothing in your brain, so get lost. Your failed governor of enugu state doesn't pay his light bills but he wants to be given light. Only the people of enugu state are complaining about EEDC and we know why. Instead of your incompetent governor to work on his poverty-controlled people, so that they can afford light bills, he still expect the rest of igboland to carry them. What kind of laziness is this?

I stay in Nnewi and it is no better there

GEJDHERO:
WHAT DO U MEAN BY BACKGROUND?WHAT BEARING DOES THAT HAVE WITH THE SOLUTION TO POWER PROBLEM THAT APC VOWED TO ERADICATICATE WITHIN 6MONTHS.The MINISTER OF DARKNESS said power generation is not rocket science abi?

That is what they call Feedback in Engineering

EEDC is not living up to expectations. I support any change that will lead to its improvement.

you are really sick. Where do u live? It seems u don't live in Nigeria cos if u do, u would know that EEDC's performance has nothing to do with wawa and Anambra. U still have that kind of stereotype typical of old people who would judge based on their family or clan instead of judging the individual as one person

Victorclean1:
Quite unfortunate that Enugu state's the aim of passing this judgment is because an Anambra man that own it. I wonder when Enugu/wawa people will be free from jealousy. Wawa please champion your complaint to All power companies in Nigeria cos it is the same. Stop witch hunt

It has absolutely nothing to do with who owns it. The average 'wawa' man does not know who owns EEDC but is dissatisfied with the services. People are made to pay for light they did not consume. The truth is they are not doing well. Let's call a spade a spade and leave state of origin out of it.

TheUmbra:
By your second post it becomes clear to me that you're among the new breed of senseless Ibo youths engaging in intra-tribal bashing on this forum of all forums.

Forgive me, but I must tell you how I feel; you and your likes are a collective disgrace to the common ancestry of the Ibos; a dent in the otherwise healthy totem of the Ibo course.

You wash a brother down in public because you're sectional and myopic to the general goal and pursuit of a unique tribe and people who find themselves in a crossroad of political and economic labyrinth, a challenging time like never seen since the civil war.

You put a clog in our collective wheel and muffle our voice with your unbearable myopia and silliness even right before the eyes of those who are bent to hold us down - teaching them in the process how to come into our midst and disorganise us. Shame on you!

Just before you think I'm from Enugu; I'm from the south south region but I'm Igbo all the same.

Mehnn I love you bro.
No homo

Dude's rant is very embarrassing to say the least

buchilino:
I HATE HEARING FELLOW IGBOS SAYING, DIS ONE IS FROM ANAMBRA, EBONYI OR ENUGU. R WE NO LONGER IGBOS. WHETHER IT'S ENUGU, ABAKILIKI, UMUAHIA, ASABA ETC, DON'T WE SPEAK SAME LANGUAGE AGAIN?. LET'S STOP DIS USELESS RIVALRY COS IT DOESN'T HELP US

Forgive them when they say. Most of them don't know what it means to be Igbo. The worse apart of it is that off u try to educate that person, he will insult you.

2017 not 0000AD NIGERIAN still in darkness and u ppl expect the bullshit Country to move forward abi i hate Nigerian with passion. i no miss dis country about anything. what is life without happiness. Nigeria is hell BULLSHIT

simplycarro:
Jonathan sold most of these Electricity distribution companies that have no finacial or technical clouts to handle the companies.
Emeka Offor is a useless investor that has not add any value to that EEDC since he was given by Jonathan

keep on masturbating on jonathan zoneB

MaziOmenuko:
Oga, stop being sentimental. EEDC is the worst of all the discos despite enjoying one of the most active Gencos in the country. Power generation is above average from the Gencos but EEDC has failed to transmit to the end users; deliberately rejecting power generated so it won't pay for it, but billing it's customers based on estimation. In such doing, they don't pay for power from the Gencos but still make money from the customers since they don't give prepaid metres.

Stop this your Anambra politics and see things as they are. No one hates on Emeka Offor but it is obvious GEJ used the EEDC to settle him. His company is incompetent and in saner climes, the FG would have revoked his licence. But if that is done now, you start shouting that the FG is marginalizig the igbos, no longer that Enugu hates Anambra.

Please you have made valid points. Privatizing sounds nice as a development strategy but not when it leads to handing over enterprises to people who have no idea how to run a business. Jonathan committed blunders here and most of these issues cropped up while he was still in charge.

MISSCONGENIALITY:

SO TRUE

I don't like abusing people but I have to say u sounded silly to me. What has Enugu and Anambra got to do with EEDC's worthlessnessk?

jiangchu:
all this division is bad for any society. but what is mind boggling is that the division is much among educated ibos. i know of the Ngwas in abia state, ezza and izzi in ebonyi mbaise in imo. the osu caste system. anioma not being ibos and the list goes on.....

I BELIEVE ITS SOMETHING WE IGBOS WILL OVERCOME

ayindejimmy:

eezeribe: :
I swear.even some of the best brains became dumb under Buhari.

Just take a look at your comment.

How do you want any company to succeed when it's been owed N2.6 b?
And I'm sure there are other debts too.
We should learn to objectively examine issues before we make comments. I

@ayindejimmy,

unfortunately you make the assumption that you're conversing with a rational being. I will advise you spare yourself the unnecessary trouble and direct your intellectual gift to someone who is more deserving

showlove911:
Mr fashola, I remember you saying dat steady power supply in nigeria is not a rocket science during Jonathan administration!

moral lesson?

#dnt throw stone in the market, u Mit hurt ur own!
#unease lies the head dat wears the crown!
#be careful wat u say 2day,u Mit eat them 2morw
#kama is real nd a bitch too!
#buhari once criticized foreign medical trips!



abeg kama is real!

It is unfortunate that many of you young folks do yourselves in with stupid and illogical reasoning rather than rational thinking to issues. Fashola stands nothing to gain in EEDC's plight beyond how it affects power distribution to the consumers and on a sustainable basis. If the state government can owe a company N2.6b, how do you want the company to survive as a going concern talk-less of doing good business. That is the crux of the matter here. Your resort to "rocket science" speech (which was stated and serves another context) is ridiculous

Why don't you start by processing an ideal situation that Enugu state government settles the N2.6b, so that EEDC can inject such into the business to grow it and be able to give better service

Copied as received

The Ibos want Biafra
The North wants Ibo's exit
The Yorubas want Ibo's exit
The Ibos are saying "we have investments in your areas and cannot leave them"
And the fight is being cooked.

Amongst all these, the President is in London
Governors are sharing bailout funds
Workers salaries are not paid
Government officials have their children schooling abroad
Ministers and senators are looting

The poor Hausa man is riding Okada
The poor Ibo man is riding Okada
The poor Yoruba man is riding Okada

The poor Hausa man sleeps under the bridge as Alamajiri
The poor Yoruba man sleeps under the bridge as Alaye
The poor Ibo man sleeps under the bridge as agbero

It is pertinent to note that the poor from all ethnic groups in Nigeria have everything in common and so is the rich.

Do not allow the agitation of an Ibo man who lives in UK or USA for Biafra cause the killing of the Ibo man in Adamawa. The rich hate us that much.
Do not allow the Alhaji whose children are living abroad to persuade you to go and start killing on the street of Kaduna.

The problem in the country is not the agitation of any ethnic group but the unity of the elite and the disunity of the masses.

How many times have you taken your agitation to question your local government Chairmen?

Why have you not asked your Governors through agitation how they spent bailout fund?

Why have you not agitated against that government official whose mansions you go to beg for help?

Sad to note;
All the Governors love themselves
All the past Presidents love themselves
All the senators love themselves
All the top government officials love themselves
All the looters love themselves.
To further confirm this assertions, check the list of those that were presence at the burial of Obanikoro's mother.

Why can't you and I love ourselves?
Why can we combine efforts and fight them?
Why do we fight ourselves?
Why do we allow them the freedom we don't have?

Remember; a good Nigeria is better than a good Arewa, Oduduwa or Biafra.

Happy June 12 Anniversary

Bros, if you were the owner of EEDC, would you purchase power from the National Grid and give to people who want to use and not pay?, see the quote:



If you want EEDC to finance getting Pre-paid meters to your houses, please encourage and impress it on the State Government to settle its debt. Haba, there is no free power. Since you pay for the data to use Nairaland, please pay for the power to charge the device as well.

How come only few people see this as the main problem in context? NLers needs prayers

KaptainAfrika:
The debts will be settled, when the services have been provided. Simple. Money dey for hand, but back never reach ground.

What sort of stupid logic is this, so an established debt will only be settled only after additional debts would have been incurred.
Sometimes, you guys deserved all the economic hardship you are going through and worse much.

KaptainAfrika:
The debts will be settled, when the services have been provided. Simple. Money dey for hand, but back never reach ground.

This statement is not a responsible one in any form. Debt owed is from services already consumed. How can people enjoy a prior service, refuse to pay and now precondition such payment on new service?

Oga, is N2.6bil the reason EEDC is not giving power to the entire SE which includes Abia, Imo, ANambra, Enugu and Ebonyi? So because Enugu state govt owes EEDC N2bil, people at Abakiliki, Umuahia, Owerri and Awka shouldn.t have light? And doesn't it reek of incompetence when an accumulated bill rises up to that amount? If it was an individual that owes them N1k, they will hasten and disconnect him, why didn't they do same to Enugu govt?

All these are just white-washed excuses; EEDC is a total failure and huge disappointment. It would have been better if the government of Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi, Anambra and Imo pulled resources and bought the DISCO just like the South-South states did rather than leave it in the hands of a frugal business man with zero knowledge of customer satisfaction.

buchilino:
I BELIEVE ITS SOMETHING WE IGBOS WILL OVERCOME

i hope so.

Just 2.6billion?
And who will pay for the damages that epileptic power supply has caused?... Talk about those who die due to electric cables falling on humans, those who die from generators fumes, those who die on emergency wards of hospitals all due to inadequate power.. Who can qualify that in monetary terms?

simplycarro:
Jonathan sold most of these Electricity distribution companies to his political cronies that have no financial or technical clouts to handle the companies.
Emeka Offor is a useless investor that has not add any value to that EEDC since he was given by Jonathan

Correct.

AkupeMBANO:
keep on masturbating on jonathan zoneB

Who presided over the sales of the Discos and the Gencos? Jonathan
Are the beneficiaries have the wherewithal and antecedents to run such technically demanding ventures? Absolutely No!
So, your hero will always take part of the blame in this mess.
