Well, when we say Atiku is the largest private employer of labour in Nigeria.. you think he was joking. His businesses stretch across many sectors of the economy. He has the highest shareholding in Yola Disco..

Atiku claims he doesn't.

Funny enough.. Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC) was bought by Atiku Abubakar during the privatisation programme. This is a major plus for Atiku..

YEDC has been in government hands since 2015...the original investor Integrated Energy could not handle the business

I am just speechless!!!
And here we are begging for light in Benin
The money will spend buying fuel everyday is alarming
And somebody is complaining that power should be reduced
Persons are drying their Christmas meat so that it will not go bad
Persons are also paying heavily to store their Christmas meat in the cold room
This is not fair at all

My friend, what were u expecting him to say?? That he owns the company or what. Has tinubu come up to say he has alpha beta consulting? Am based in Jimeta YOLA, majority of us know he has majority share in YEDC, but he won't admit he owns it for fear of backlash

You have to be cautious of power usage with prepaid meter

But estimated billing, I dont care, Everything keeps running till they get damaged.

Maybe IKEDC tuned the meter, I had to damage the meter myself so they were forced to put me on estimated billing pending replacement which I know it will take a decade


With pre-paid u can afford to be cautious but with estimated billing you dont have any option, you pay whatever they throw at you no matter how outrageous.
There was a time my light was faulty and i didnt use light for almost two months but i was still getting the normal bill of 7k till i went to their office and brought them to repair it

Advance vote buying, Bribing the residence with excess supply of electricity. This APC self, giving PDP something to talk about for the week.
The senate will soon discuss how this is a vote buying technique

Since you drug pushers, kidnappers and armed robbers are more creative and productive, kindly use your creativity and productivity to generate and distribute light to your houses and companies. ISI EWU......

Problem is in Nigeria you can't consume the power you generate as it has to be supplied to the grid. Obsolete regulations.

True but you will be most sure you have consumed more than what you paying for. Try load a meter and switch on 2 units of 2HP AC before going to work, Tell me what reading you find on your meter when you get back from work grin grin grin

If you want to see more miracles, Keep the water heaters plugged in and running grin grin grin

It depends on life style though; I presume

Do you have light in your house?

You are using the views of sycophants to gauge your life?

That was how your president was trying to change unemployment statistics.

People who are not creative and don't produce anything have more light than the SE who are. More productive. Naija we are going no where. Giant of shit

This type of manners exhibited by the igbos is what makes it appears as though they are hated by others, they are always feeling they are superior to others, always over estimating themselves and under estimating others.

With your creativity you still flood other people's land to seek for existence while you failed to attract others to your land with your creativities.

What do they produce in the SE? The productive South Easterners are in Lagos , Portharcourt , Kano, Kaduna and of course Maiduguri. They are the ones using the electricity in their spare parts shops.
