All the way down here?

Typical!

Amala, Ewedu, Pepper and Shaki must be served there.

And your tears to wash it down.

If the Minister of Works were to be from another tribe other than Igbo, the noise from the controversy could have prompted Angel Gabriel to blow the trumpet.

The typically hypocrites are not in anyway attacking the Minister.

Typical!

After all, Minister for darkness has said refrigerators should be put off at all times.

IkpuMmadu:
show me naaa...I was thinking it is men that chase women


Why is it that yoruba men are running away from there women? Why? There must be something they aren't telling us about their women

It is not difficult to know and see when an idiot joins the conversation.

Why not ask why the Igbo women are running away from their men? Maybe there are things they are not telling us.

I will restrain myself from what is it they are not telling us in case you decide to take this further.

Grow up and leave your cave.

The cob you pampered has grown into a lion. Deal with it.

What do you expect from people insulting their parents mates on Nairaland?

In fairness, security lights are necessary and especially in these days of LED lightbulbs they don’t consume much. AC is the real power guzzler.

As an example if I were relying solely on NEPA (no solar). And do not use AC for a whole month, my electricity bill will be approx 70-100k a month at the new band A rate of 246/kWh. If I used my AC reasonably for a month, it would be N700k a month. If I used AC like I used to 10 years ago, God knows what the NEPA bill would be.

NOTE: these AC,s are normal compressor ACs. Inverter ACs will be less but still a lot.

Majority of this light I am talking about are those 60W, 120W of those days.
Even when using the ones that consume less power, security light at the frontage of homes are meant to be off immediately it is day break. I am not aware of anywhere they are meant to be indicators.

Fron my experience, even in UK, you pass through several homes at night and the lights at the frontage are off even when the residents are in. This I have seen.

Bottom line: Our attitude.

Fiscus105:




Indeed u re in kindergarten as u said earlier.


Go and educate yourself, how to be power sufficient in a country, the time required to design a power project and enormous amount of money required.

Prof Nnaji commissioned his private power plant project this year, u can use that as case study. Meanwhile, despite the fact that he is a one man business, and the power plant meant for very few communities, pls do urself good, by checking when he started and when he finished.


NB. The 2-4 years u saw on screen shot, is only DESIGN (not part of beuaricratics process a minister must pass, the time to look for finances , Is sitting president even has political will to embark on such huge projects).

U would just sit down in a room apartment, blaming, critical and attacking up and down

BYE.

Your points are VERY valid.
To me, the only thing you seem to be missing is the fact you do not seem to be aware that Nigerians love to argue based solely on sentiment mixed with a torch or tribal leaning all in a bid to highlight their lack of exposure, basic knowledge and half baked education.

If you think all I am saying is false, just take time to go through a thread yesterday where someone complained of booking a flight to Asaba only for the airline to propose taking him in a car or whatever ride from Onitsha to Asaba by road. The comments there are enough testimony of how we are as a people.

patrickcollins:
Someone uses a shared meter but the wife will always use washing machine regularly and some persons said he is entitled to use the property he has but he wants to pay equal money with those that do not use washing machine no be wickedness be that

It is not wickedness. It is Witchcraft.

Many are witches only few are aware.

There was a time many years ago when the AC in my room was on 24/7 whether I was home or not. The tarrif increase before this one was when I stopped. I live in an area with stable electricity and electricity was very cheap.

I also remember when I was a child that my dad always left the AC in his office on.

So to that point the minister has a point that subsidizing electricity had inculcated bad habits in us as a people. The example he gave about freezer was a bad one. 1 because a lot of freezers don’t actually consume much power and 2 AC is the real power guzzler. When I lived abroad then no born me to leave ordinary light bulb on if I am not in the room talk less leave the house heater on when I am out. Same with petrol…the way I drove abroad with expensive petrol was different from In Nigeria with cheap petrol.

Subsidies do indeed create bad habits.

Thank you for your truthful personal experience.
The one bad attitude that is most common is people leaving their house security light on perpetually. Over a kilometer to my house, I will know if there is light or not just by looking out for lights that are never put off.

Shey dem dey tell blind man say rain dey fall ni?

At this point in time, who needs a motivational speaker to teach them how to reduce electricity cost?

Is it Bash Ali that is an international conman that you want to sue?

Shishi hin no get. Attention is the oxygen he lives on.

Dead on arrival case

People realize a tad too late that they are walking corpses in Nigeria. It takes one little medical emergency for some of them to come face to face with reality. There comes a time when billions in the bank cannot save one from a minor event through negligence or indifference.

May Nigeria not happen to anyone.

Every human being is a walking corpse irrespective of whether in Nigeria, Jerusalem or Medina.

Why the emphasis on Nigeria?

yarimo:
The most incompetent EFCC chairman in the history of the commission

You sha want attention by fire,by force?

You already have it. after all, some idiots have liked your comment.

zed7:
Apart from Umuahi, is any of the appointees qualified? Na paddy, paddy government.

Typical.

It has to be a man from that region alone that is qualified.

Fagbemi SAN is not qualified to be the Attorney General?

Pate, with his qualifications that some can only achieve in their dreams is not qualified to be Health Minister?

Tijani with a Ph.D amongst a plethora of degrees in ICT is not qualified to be a minister?

Wike, with his experience as a former Governor, former Minister is not qualified to be a Minister?


We know your type.

Why not suggest Odumeje?

The people that are in the serious process of Japaing are not making noise in the social media while those making noise and fouling the air in the social media do not even have a passport.

JoeEeL:
So at ur age and in this 21st century, ure expecting a jew to come from the sky and save you?

And u don't think you partake in this shame you're talking about?

P.S I support the husband oo

Okay sir.

The ideal thing would have been for you to respect my choice and belief.
All the same, thank you

The white pussycat should surrender and stop hiding behind some rented crowd and groups.

Even the lion in a book will be disappointed in Yaya.

EFCC did not conduct itself very well but got $720,000 within a week

Barrister Tietie, you no go die better.

Change wey remain Yaya pocket, una still wan collect am

When Jesus was wondering whether there will still be faith whenever he.comes back, I think the worry should have been whether there would still be shame in human beings.

Your husband sent you out for having an illegitimate child and yet you could still face camera to do a video.

Dogs are more shameful than some people.

But, come to think of it, I thought his media team said there was nothing like this payment in their press release.

Indeed, some people are just working for their pay.

ProudNigerian01:
Two questions:
1. Why are they returning the money now that EFCC is after him?

2. Are we sure the school is not being used as fronts for money laundering?

Meanwhile to the rest of you,

Please learn to be compassionate in word and deed while dealing with others and God will bless you.

1Pet.3.8 - Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous;

Answer to Q1: They have to return the money to avoid any reputational damage. Second, it has become public knowledge. Third, there are sections of the anti graft law that can take them to be complicit.

Answer to Q2: The aim of the upfront payment is basically for money laundering. If it has not been exposed, nothing stops him from getting his money back in any form especially since the school will not want him to withdraw his children.. Simply paddy Paddy arrangement.

Vinnie2000:
If the EFCC Chairman get SENSE, this Investigation should have been followed up secretly.

The Man Talks like a Market woman.

He has achieved in a few weeks what non of his predecessors could not achieve in years.

Tell me of a EFCC chair that got as much from a former Governor.

Tell me of a EFCC chair that got anything from any former Governor within a short time of the governor leaving office

Credit should be given where it is due.

This one na just to stamp it.

Why do we not hear these type of accidents in other African countries.

Why only in Nigeria these happen monthly

It happens elsewhere.

BBC Africa live will tell you.

Covenant university ke?

How many average Nigerian parents can afford to pay 600k above for their children university tuition?

Where will you get a 600 k course at Conenant?

Dey play.

AllenSpencer:
Reno should know that for a state like Anambra, A brewery is more important than IPP.

Peter consulted with stakeholders before it was concluded that, a brewery will be more important than any IPP project.

Considering the less productive population of Anambra which accounts for over 90% of her total population, its was deducted that, IPP will do no good.

IPO will do no good?

Woah! We learn new things everyday.

It would have been better to just read this news and move on instead of this comment. I am not sure a ten year old will say a thing like this.

Crucialgem:
Why does every single thing done in this apc regime always find it was to the media. Is it just today Lagos state have been paying for waec

So,.the others ones that have been paying in Lagos according to you are not APC?

So, payment of WAEC fees should not be in the news but the jubilation over Julius Berger logo at a road rehabilitation that has not started should be in the news?

But, CC Soludo inspecting drainage construction should be on CNN?

Make una dey think small small o.

Dennisochampa:
If them no do, problem.... If them do small, problem...

Would u have preferred for them go give u the money to smoke weed °°

Do u know how many families in Nigeria cannot afford Waec fees

Make una dey show gratitude... Even if na small..... Yes it's not the best but my question is.... What if them no do at all....

What if them use that 1.5b take furnish government house..... E get werin u Wan do

Some comments are better ignored here but you should have asked him how much his own state governor spends on monthly feeding since all that concerns him is food and food alone.

dominique:
There are over 300 public secondary schools in Lagos state, that would be an average of 192 students per school which I personally find low. During my set, we were 313 students that were enrolled for waec that year

What year was that?

It is only logical to think that with the number of private schools in the state now , that your 192 is likely.

More schools have been built and it is possible that congestion witnessed during your time has reduced.
