Proudly Idoma

When the NSA and security agencies are complacent and ineffectual to deal with terrorists, it is private ownership of drones that is easy to regulate. How about terrorists that have more sophisticated drones and equipment than this?

He is lying low for now until he is accepted by a country as ambassador. He knows Obidents can successfully oppose his acceptance in any country.

sweerychick:
For more than two months, political commentator Reno Omokri has maintained an uncharacteristic silence regarding Peter Obi.

Omokri, who built a public profile around detailed, fact-checked rebuttals of Obi’s statements and personality, has long been regarded as one of Obi’s most prominent critics. The sustained absence of new commentary has fueled speculation over the reasons behind it.

Analysts and observers are now questioning whether the pause signals a strategic retreat, the end of his campaign against Obi, or an undisclosed development behind the scenes.

How come the vigilantes in the southern part of the country are not kitted with similar arms?

Fix your country. Take it back. Don't abandon it for the criminal politicians. Stay galantly in your country and resist the misgovernance and corruption in Nigeria.

It's people like you who pretend to have low IQ that pretend not to understand.

Lol, you never cease to amaze me on this forum....so na fake now, just bcs this time around he's not on your side and speaking ill of your principals...o ma shey o. Kosi Itiju mo. It's well

Sowore is a Fake activist. Fake presidential candidate. Activist for stomach infrastructure. Opposition to opposition. APC asset.

You can add your own.

LASERC bars recovery of electricity bills beyond one year
June 26, 2026 2:32 am

By
Dare Olawin

The Lagos State Electricity Regulatory Commission has said electricity supply licensees cannot recover charges that are more than 12 months old.

The commission disclosed this in a consumer awareness message published on its official social media platform as part of efforts to enlighten electricity consumers on their rights.

According to LASERC, consumers should not be made to pay charges older than 12 months except in cases involving meter tampering, illegal use of electricity, or obstruction of meter reading.

“Electricity supply licensees cannot recover charges older than 12 months, except in cases of meter tampering, illegal use, and obstruction of meter reading,” LASERC said.

The regulator urged consumers to be aware of their rights and protections under the electricity regulatory framework. “Stay informed, stay protected,” the commission stated.

LASERC also referenced the provisions of the Retail Electricity Supply Code, noting that the restriction on the recovery of old charges is contained in Paragraph 35(1)–(2) of the code.

The commission’s position comes amid growing concerns by electricity consumers over back-billing and the recovery of old electricity charges by distribution companies.


The disclosure by the regulator is an even bigger eye-opener for many customers who are still battling bills dating back years, except in cases involving meter tampering, illegal use of electricity, and obstruction of meter reading.

LASERC took over electricity regulation in the state from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission in accordance with the provisions of the Electricity Act 2023.

The commission has said it would not allow electricity subsidies in the state, insisting that operators must recover their costs.

According to the Lagos State Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Abiodun Ogunleye, the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is committed to the removal of electricity subsidies in Lagos.

Ogunleye said consumers in the state would pay the real cost of electricity as directed by Sanwo-Olu. Unless the governor changes his position, Ogunleye insisted that there is no power subsidy in Lagos.

Speaking at the maiden stakeholders’ forum organised by LASERC in Ikeja, Ogunleye said every operator in the Lagos electricity value chain must be paid, adding that LASERC is working with federal authorities to determine the gas-to-power price for Lagos producers.

“Everybody who contributes to every kilowatt that we are receiving, whether it’s renewable or whatever, must get paid. We are not carrying anything over. Lagos is saying it repeatedly: Mr Governor’s mandate is that there is no subsidy in Lagos. If he calls me tomorrow and says he wants to change his mind, I will still convey that again. But as of today, there is no subsidy in Lagos,” he emphasised.


The commission has also disclosed plans to end the controversial electricity tariff band classification.

Earlier, the Chief Executive Officer of LASERC, Mrs Temitope George, stressed the need for appropriate pricing. George added that Lagos was targeting a 24-hour power supply across the state with 100 per cent metering, reiterating LASERC’s vision of becoming a leading electricity regulator by facilitating sustainable electricity development and improving the quality of life of residents.

She added that the commission remained committed to setting and enforcing standards, safeguarding consumers, enabling investments, supporting innovation, and promoting clean energy solutions across the state.

As part of efforts to strengthen consumer protection, George disclosed that LASERC was establishing zonal offices in the Ikorodu, Amuwo-Odofin/Badagry, and Sangotedo/Epe axes to improve complaint resolution and enhance access to regulatory services.

“The offices are expected to become operational in the third quarter of the year,” she said.

99 days for APC propaganda, 1 day of truth for Nigerians.

Okonkwo should reserve his argumentative letter for the case itself, when he is eventually sued.

You are still saying "if". 🤣🤣🤣 It's like you have not been listening and observing.

insidelife22:
If VDM is arrested, then those who claimed they fought for democracy through Nadeco are crazy.
Coz they are the real killers of democracy.

Funny Senate in a funny country. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well, now that the shenet has ordered the zombies, let's see what happens.

When the suit is filed, he will understand. That was how the double mouthed adeyanju was mocking similar suit that year. But now, his body don calm.

You can go ahead and play politics with human fundamental rights. Everything must be reduced to politics. onanuga the shameless bigot is playing politics with security. But your high IQ can't comprehend it. I can see how high your IQ is.

Feggie3:
Why does many Nigerian youths have low IQ? It is becoming irritating and increasingly alarming. Is this politics?

Shameless security agents are covering the suspects evil faces because they don't come from a particular part of the country.. Shameless. Cowardly and Bigoted onanuga has not rushed to his media Handle.

Oga Stop wasting your time. Clueless Tinubu is a failure and should resign or be chased out of Asorock.

sarrki:
Tuesday, April 8th 1969. This malaise has been with us for decades. Social media has only made it possible to bring it into the immediate spotlight. No be today. Nevertheless, by the grace of God and the joint efforts of all Nigerians, especially our military and paramilitary forces, Nigeria will defeat banditry and terrorism!

What Practical Steps Should Southwest States Take Against Banditry and Terrorism?
https://www.nairaland.com/8685199/what-practical-steps-should-southwest

Please, make your suggestion also on that thread. An authorised person may be reading this too and your contributions will be of help

For me

1. Establish a Comprehensive Resident Identity System

The Each State Government should develop a comprehensive resident identity and address verification system to improve security, planning, and service delivery. Every resident should be encouraged to register through a centralized database linked to verified residential addresses. This system will assist law enforcement agencies in identifying criminal elements, tracking suspicious activities, and improving emergency response capabilities while respecting constitutional rights and privacy protections.

2. Registration and Regulation of Herders

All herders operating within Each State should be required to register with the State Government and the relevant Local Government Authorities before engaging in grazing or livestock activities. Registration should include biometric identification, location of operation, livestock records, and compliance with state regulations. This measure will promote accountability, reduce farmer-herder conflicts, and help security agencies identify unauthorized or suspicious activities.

3. Monitoring and Prevention of Violent Extremism

The government should strengthen collaboration between security agencies, community leaders, and religious organizations to identify and prevent violent extremism. Authorities should monitor and investigate individuals or organizations suspected of supporting terrorism, radicalization, or violent activities, regardless of religious affiliation. Any person found to be promoting or financing terrorism should face prosecution in accordance with Nigerian law.

4. Promote Agricultural Self-Sufficiency

Each Southwest State should invest heavily in agriculture to enhance food security and create employment opportunities. Government support should include access to improved seedlings, mechanized farming, irrigation systems, agricultural training, storage facilities, and access to markets. Increased agricultural productivity will reduce economic vulnerabilities and strengthen rural communities.

5. Develop a Community and Neighbourhood Intelligence Network

A structured neighbourhood intelligence network should be established across communities in each state State. Residents, community leaders, traditional institutions, and security agencies should work together to identify emerging security threats and share relevant information. Such a system should operate within legal frameworks and emphasize the protection of citizens' rights.

6. Eliminate Illegal Settlements in Deep Forest Areas

The government should conduct a comprehensive survey of forest reserves and remote settlements. Unauthorized settlements established in deep forests, particularly those linked to criminal activities, should be dismantled through lawful procedures. Forest reserves should be regularly monitored and patrolled to prevent their use as safe havens for kidnappers, bandits, terrorists, and other criminal groups.

7. Swift Prosecution of Serious Crimes

The State Government should strengthen collaboration with the judiciary and security agencies to ensure the swift investigation and prosecution of kidnapping, terrorism, banditry, illegal arms trafficking, and organized crime. Fast-track procedures should be considered for cases involving serious threats to public safety while ensuring due process and fair trials.

8. Establish Formal Reporting Channels for Suspicious Activities

Multiple reporting channels should be created to enable citizens to report suspicious activities safely and confidentially. These channels may include dedicated hotlines, mobile applications, community liaison officers, and local security committees. Public awareness campaigns should educate citizens on how and when to report security concerns.

9. Promote Civic Education and Constitutional Values

Schools across each State should strengthen civic education programs that teach constitutional rights, responsibilities of citizenship, peaceful coexistence, tolerance, and respect for the rule of law. Young people should be equipped with the knowledge and values necessary to contribute positively to society and resist extremist influences.

10. Prosecute Incitement to Violence

The government should adopt a zero-tolerance approach toward incitement to violence, hatred, terrorism, or public disorder. Individuals who promote violence through public speeches, religious gatherings, traditional institutions, political platforms, social media, or any other means should be investigated and prosecuted according to the law, regardless of their status or background.

11. Expand Vocational and Technical Education

Each State should significantly expand vocational and technical education opportunities to equip young people with practical skills for employment and entrepreneurship. Training programs should focus on modern agriculture, information technology, construction, renewable energy, manufacturing, and other high-demand sectors. Empowering youth economically will reduce vulnerability to recruitment by criminal organizations and extremist groups.

Just learned Andoni is a local government in Rivers state. Are you sure Liverpool won't be turned into a local champion only?

APC supporters and apologists talk before they think because of blind support and overzealous subjective support for bad governance.
She is only apologizing because her music career will nosedive, not because she has remorse for misyarning.

When Peter Obi files a suit in nasarawa against you and friends, you will start complaining that he cannot take criticism. You won't rein in your stpdity now.

Olofofo247ng:
This reminds me of the story of the proverbial child who vowed to use the pigeon's head for lunch when he grows up. The head of the pigeon will not allow the child to grow up to carry out his threat. Don't you think that the destinies of the people who will benefit from the project will not allow Peter Obi to smell the position?

Our only saving grace in this country is that God used Anambra people to test the suffering that Peter Obi would have subjected Nigerians to 😭🙏...

Anambra residents saw the faded road markings, the abandoned projects, and the choked drains. We all know that Peter Obi is a master of media optics, not governance. Imagine that on a national scale.

Fraudulent preachers in Nigeria will regret someday. All of them so-called fathers of faith and children of faith. You all will regret your fake religious practices. Very soon.

History revisionist on the beat. Stop lying that he protested as directed by CAN. He protested because it suited his purpose at the time.

Where are lamidi apapa and arabambi the shameless noisemakers? Arabambi is no longer vomiting nonsense.

Well meaning Nigerians must stop APC otherwise it will crash Nigeria. APC is not interested in democracy. It is a party of hooligans and rogues who have no regard for due process or law.

That's the percentage supporting ekilokan.

Funny little boy. You think presidency is a playground where play around with toys.

Yeye de smell. So, Tinubu rewarding Mahmoud yakubu with Ambassadorial appointment within a short time after his tenure is not controversial and capable of undermining electoral process in Nigeria?
Shameless APC
