Trust these politicians at your peril.

So Peter Obi can start telling us about the irrelevance of convoy, yet he stashed #250million in his convoy in 2009

I wonder though whether Falana averted his mind to the fact that after the conclusion of a case there is a right of appeal which must be exercised within a certain timeframe after which the principle of effluxion of time comes into play.

A pre-election matter doesn't suddenly become a post-election matter just because an election has taken place when the appellant party still has a cause of action and has not run out of time to file an appeal. The law does not say that the court of appeal is the court of final judgement rather it is the Supreme court on pre-election issues.

The mere conduct of an election does not override the right of appeal of any party.

Dear Hausafulanis

Do not agree with anyone who concoct a story about the North being poor, backward, diseased, ill cultured, terror ridden etc.
We all know that maiduguri people are kanuris not Hausafulani core Hausafulani states are the most peaceful states in Nigeria. Example kano, bauchi, Gombe, jigawa, and Sokoto. states like kastina, zamfara and Kaduna just need little push in security to battle cow bandit rustlers and kidnapers...

Bokoharam terrorising maiduguri doesn't mean that the whole north is terror ridden (ignorance is a serious disease)

It is a deliberate plan to paint your Golden Jewel dark, mostly out of envy & spite for the Blessings available in your land.

More than any place in Africa, the North have everything.

Only the North have Gold, Diamond, Uranium, Rivers, over 74 million acres of arable land etc & recently, One Billion Barrel of Crude discovered in single well. The North is officially an Oil Producing region of Nigeria.

The North have beautiful people, properly mixed ethnic & religion groups lived side by side for centuries in peace & harmony.

The most intelligent, smart & just people are from the North, including most beautiful women & responsible men with proper identity, dignity & families.

The North is blessed with history of culture and civilization, The north have the states with the best infrastructure, more united that every other region in Nigeria, group of hard working responsible parents and teachers, obedient children & supportive wives, great families etc

The North have all the biggest forest that stores the plants & animals needed for a robust ecosystem, the North have longest rivers capable of HyproPower plants, from Mambila, Dadin Kowa, Numan, Shiroro, Kainji, Gurara, etc, where else in can you find all these, except the North.

Don't be weakened by the machinations of the jealous & envious ones & make you loose hope on your land. You are wonderfully blessed. Stand up tall against all those who wish to see you down & show them your candor & honor

God has placed you uniquely in values & vigor, Keep it up!

Don't let any foreign or local agent to tell you who you are, or those from within us, who wish to appeal to the yearnings and applause of those envious of what God gave us. Stand upright and tell them who you actually are.

A law abiding, responsible citizen and a product of good family. That's who you are.

We must rise and enlighten southerners especially those that have not been to the north, most times it's not their fault, they hate and dislike you based on what they hear and propaganda they hear and see on social media painting you black, we must not just fold arms and continue tagging them ignorant we must rise and educate them about them north let them know the north is not one state and the north is not just about Hausafulanis... Let them know that the north is made up of different ethnicities and Culture.

We all have to let them know that Hausafulanis have nothing to do with Bokoharam 95% of Bokoharam members are kanuris that's why Bokoharam insurgency is only critical in maiduguri, the state of kanuris.

We must let them know the fact that we have Hausafulani Christians here living among us, we have Hausafulani pastors and Reverend fathers too... We have to rise and fight the misconceptions and stereotypes targeting northern Nigeria.

Note that they are people who naturally hate you no mater how hard you try to educate them even after knowing the truth, they will still never stop hating you and will never stop condemning and insulting you... But the good news here is that some people who are opened to the truth will learn and make more research to affirm or debunk.

God bless Hausafulani!!

God bless Nigeria!!

Looool.....this might be the most deluded garbage I've read today. Create which jobs? Surveying which markets have a vacuum of certain services and offering those services as traders, pharmacists and chemists, artisan, corporate/white collar professionals etc is jobs that were "created" for immigrants out of your own generosity, abi? So if Chinese, Indian, Lebanese people etc come to Nigeria to trade their wares or offer services in industry, it's because Nigeria created jobs for them that they didn't have in their own countries? What kind of reetarded logic is that? Please, tell me these "basic things for human survival" you have in your backward shitholes that we don't have. Please list them for me. I can even understand our SW brethren with silly pomposity like this, but a Northerner?

Stop kidding yourself. You can keep recycling you dumb pictures of a filthy market in Aba. The core North by any indices measuring human progress is by far the most backward region in Nigeria. If you isolated the NE and NW from Nigeria, the country formed would have worse HDI indices than Somalia and South Sudan. It's also funny you keep posting pictures of the dirty market and dumpsites as somehow representative of our living standards in the SE. Pretty much every garbage cart pusher and garbage dumpsite hustler I see in Lagos (a trend I observed in Onitsha and Enugu too) here where I live are your brothers. It employs most of the Northerners in Lagos apart from okada riders and beggar colonies. Keep consoling yourself. We live worse than you, yet most of the foreign NGO's do most of their work in your backward ass shitholes and people like Bill Gates have sunk hundreds of millions of dollars in it and we've even opened up a North East Development Commission to alleviate the damage your dumb asses did to your own region. Keep consoling yourself.

Obi1kenobi:


1) I've never been to the core North in my life and don't ever intend to. I don't to places where people get slaughtered by savages because of Mohammed cartoons in Denmark, or Miss World contests.
2) Of course you'll pick the North to live and die. The very fact you can spell shows you're one of the Northern elite likely enjoying life as one of the privileged quota system products - a privilege open to less people down South. The average man in your enclave who is likely to be a cart pusher or okada rider or mai guard can't even communicate on this forum.
3) We know the average migrant from the core North only owns a mat and his Koran, so of course, how will you understand what it means for people who have invested in substantial trade and commerce in foreign lands to lose their holdings to your horde of savages who go on massacres when somebody in Denmark draws a cartoon of Mohammed.
4) Common sense will tell you that if you make a living in the mercantile world, you would search for market vacuums to maximize your reach which is why many Igbo businessmen still travel to your shiitholes. Or why an Indian or Lebanese man might travel to trade in Nigerian. Common sense would tell you that if Northerners for example trade in cattle, onions, tomatoes, kolanuts etc, they'll also have to travel around to places which farm less of these to sell their products. I don't know what point you think you're scoring in saying some Igbo pharmacist or electronics or spare parts dealer travels to the North to do business. Only an uneducated clod thinks that has anything to do with the prosperity of the North. I asked you what you think you have in the North we don't have down here and you conveniently ignored the question to ramble about irrelevancies.
5) Every idioot in every village knows where over 90% of IDP refugees in Nigeria come from. Down South here, we make offerings in our churches for your miserable lives up North. It's almost as if you just project your pathologies on others as a deflection from demonstrable facts.
6) Better line up with your plate for offerings from your feudal lords up North. Even Syrian refugees don't debase their dignity like that.

Ofuzo:

Definitely not. Even though I've been reading comments on this forum, I just signed up with nairaland about 40 minutes ago and my comment to you was actually my second. As for one sick psychotic demented human being like chino, pretty sure will be joining issues with him very soon.

Ofuzo:

Let's not worry about ambode and makoko. Let's discuss how onitsha and the rest of igboland will be salvaged by street trading, highway trading, sidewalk trading, residential properties with two, three and four attachments. Trading everywhere and anywhere. This is an igbo disease that MUST be solved. All igbo cities except owerri looks like SHITHOLE That's why I support the okorocha's government in banning keke and all it's other renewal projects. Two major initiatives which was a FIRST in igboland ie the free education system and the urban renewal projects was initiated by okorocha. The man have his other flaws, but history will surely remember him for those two things. Absolutely no doubt about that. I'm very very happy that anambra state is following suit. As a matter of fact, the entire igbo and igbo leaning states should follow suit. That's why I'm very happy to read this good news. Let concentrate on that instead of muddling the issue by bringing up ambode or makoko.

A thread on why PREPAID METER being distributed TO ALL may never be achieved in Nigeria.
After the Nigerian Police, Nigerian Electricity distribution companies are next on the list when it comes to corruption. This has been in existence from time immemorial, just like barracks, many government have come and gone but the deep rooted corruption in the system remains


In April 2016, I moved in to my current apartment. The apartment was still connected to an old meter and there was an outstanding payment of about N385,000.00 to be paid. This wasn't revealed to me before I made payment for the rent, as usual (that's how they all do).This became a worry and an absolute headache. I asked the landlord why it was so and she made me understand that the apartment was not in use for 5years.I asked how come it wasn't reported to NEPA so they'd stop the billing, she gave me a copy of the letter she wrote to them. So I took the matter up, wrote several mails to Eko electricity company and the matter was on for 11months, note that in the space of this 11 months, I never got a monthly bill lesser than 24,000.00. You want to ask if I have a factory in my apartment? No I don't. So it extended from wanting the company to zerorize the ridiculous outstanding balance in the billing account to fighting and contesting the outrageous billing system which do not in any way represent my true electricity consumption and wanting a Prepaid Meter

The battle began.
After several exchange of mails betweens myself and Eko Electric and no solution was forthcoming, I moved the matter to NERC, the regulatory body for all electricity distribution companies in Nigeria. I filed a petition against Ekedp and the undertaking in charge of my area.

Lo and behold, after three days from the petition submission to NERC, I got a call from the marketing manager for my area pleading for me to make myself available to allow them come to my house and take inventory of the electrical appliances I use.

NERC is working yeah? Right. A staff of the Ekedp came to take the inventory and at the end of the computations, we calculated and multiplied each appliance by the estimated units they consume per day and multiplied by 31days.

Recall I said I never got a bill less than 24k in a month?Then we arrived at a figure that even the Eko electric staff who came to take the inventory opened his mouth and couldn't close it. What I should be billed based on having 24hour light per day(which is not even possible) in 31 days was 4,800.00. I almost ran mad. I took a copy of the report, scanned it and attached it to my next petition to NERC.
At this point, the marketing manager attached to my undertaking had started calling and begging me to stop the petitions. That they could all get sacked if matters gets escalated further.Then in September 2017, after all the troubles and how I never got tired if pursuing the issue, I got a mail from Eko electricity to come with some required documents in order to fill a form for a PREPAID METER.

I went there and did as they requested.
At Last, on 27 November 2017, I was on leave.
I was at my gate then this Alfa looking guy was parading and trying to see house number on the fence. My instinct told me to ask if he was asking for Ayo, then he said yes. He was the prepaid meter installer, he was with my new prepaid meter. I also recall that before the whole issue started, I was discouraged severally that I can never be given prepaid meter due to the outstanding balance on the billing account, I paid no mind to all the people that said that and went ahead with my case.
I got the Prepaid meter for FREE. After a week, bill was brought and boom, outstanding balance has been cleared from 385,000.00 to zero balance.
How did I achieve this? I mean I didn't pay a dime to anyone and I never for once bribed my way in all my dealings.I achieved this simply because;

1. I knew my right.
2. I wouldn't settle for mediocrity
3. I never stopped pushing even after several months and it seemed unachievable
4. I was ready to take the matter up anywhere
5. I was informed.

Now imagine how many people are out there who don't even know how to go about such tedious and draining process. I learnt that a lot of people even paid as much as 40k to get the prepaid meter. Something that's supposed to be free. Since the prepaid meter was installed in November 27 2017, I have not exhausted the 303 units that came with it which is calculated to be 7,200.00

And I still have 140units left to use. That's over four (4) months now
Do you now see why these people will never allow dream of every homes having a prepaid meter become a reality?
Because such development will block all holes where the electricity distribution corrupt members of staff perpetrate their fraudulent activities and corruption from.

They know that they will be forced to give light more in order to generate revenue and will not be able to charge people outrageously as they are currently doing and remitting the proceeds of their criminal act to their pockets.

Stand up and Fight for what is your right. Prepaid meter is your right, fight for it to the latter. If you believe that your monthly electricity bill do not represent your consumption, make a case.If you're in Lagos, Ikeja Electricity company and Eko electricity company are there for you. If they fail, involve NERC.
That will be all, for now.
