Did he committed any crime? If No, pls next topic...

Yes, he did,by saying the truth, you know, the sad truth is always bitter,expecially to ignorant people. Sometimes, the truth need to be said black and white.

Nigerian leaders doesn't seems to deepen their though process, they should address what causes mental health and nip them in the bud, our incompetent leaders are good at chasing shadows.

In a country where billions have been poured into a faltering national grid, the decision to install a ₦10 billion solar mini-grid at the Presidential Villa is more than a technical upgrade. It is a symbolic rupture. It signals that even the seat of power no longer trusts the system meant to electrify the nation. What was once dismissed as theory, renewable energy as a lifeline, is now a practical and urgent reality in Nigeria. The Villa’s raison d'être to solar is both an indictment of failed privatization and a declaration that the future of power lies beyond the grid.

More than a technical upgrade, the move sends a powerful signal. If the seat of government can abandon unreliable grid power, then institutions, industries, and communities across the country can do the same.

Nigeria’s electricity sector is under immense strain. The national grid, much of it built over half a century ago, suffers from weak transmission infrastructure, outdated equipment, and inadequate maintenance. Frequent system collapses, several recorded in early 2026 alone, have left millions without consistent access to power.

An estimated 90 million Nigerians remain unconnected to the grid, while those with access often receive only a few hours of electricity daily, sometimes enduring outages that stretch for days.

Small and medium-sized enterprises, the backbone of the economy, face soaring operational costs and reduced productivity due to unreliable power supply. Households struggle with rising fuel expenses as they depend on petrol and diesel generators to meet basic energy needs. For many families, persistent outages mean spoiled food, disrupted routines, and a general decline in quality of life.

Critical sectors are equally affected. Hospitals face interruptions that threaten patient care, while schools experience disruptions that undermine learning outcomes. In northern regions, where extreme heat has intensified, the absence of reliable electricity compounds already difficult living conditions.

At the institutional level, privately operated generation and distribution companies remain burdened by debts exceeding ₦6.8 trillion, alongside technical and operational limitations that hinder effective service delivery. Unlike Nigeria’s telecommunications sector, which prioritizes continuous investment and maintenance, the power sector has often transferred infrastructure responsibilities to already burdened communities.

The Federal Government has begun prioritizing renewable energy as a pathway to stability and growth. In the 2025 fiscal framework, ₦500 billion has been allocated for the solarization of public institutions, alongside ₦70 billion dedicated to solar mini-grids in universities.

International partnerships are also playing a critical role. A 750 million dollar World Bank-backed program aims to provide distributed solar electricity to approximately 17.5 million Nigerians, particularly in underserved and off-grid communities. In parallel, a 400 million dollar investment is being directed toward developing local solar manufacturing capacity, an effort that could reduce import dependence while creating jobs and strengthening the domestic energy value chain.

These initiatives reflect a deliberate move away from a centralized, fragile grid toward decentralized energy solutions. Mini-grids and standalone solar systems are emerging as viable alternatives, capable of delivering reliable electricity directly to homes, businesses, and institutions without relying on overstretched national infrastructure.

The solarization of the Presidential Villa is, at its core, both practical and symbolic.

Practically, it demonstrates the cost-saving potential of renewable energy by reducing long-term expenditure on diesel and maintenance. Symbolically, it represents a shift in governance, an acknowledgment that the existing system can no longer meet the country’s needs.

For ordinary Nigerians, this transition carries significant implications. Reduced dependence on diesel generators could lower energy costs, improve air quality, and enhance public health. Reliable electricity would support economic productivity, enable small businesses to thrive, and improve living standards across urban and rural communities alike.

The collapse of the traditional power system has exposed decades of systemic failure, but it has also created an opportunity for transformation. Renewable energy, particularly solar, offers a pathway not only to energy security but also to economic resilience and environmental sustainability.

Sustained investment, regulatory reform, and transparent implementation will determine whether these ambitious initiatives translate into real and lasting change. Without accountability and technical capacity, even the most promising policies risk falling short.

Yet, if successfully implemented, the current shift could mark the beginning of a new era, one in which access to reliable electricity is no longer a privilege, but a standard.

For millions of Nigerians, energy is more than infrastructure. It is opportunity, dignity, and survival.

Transitioning to solar and decentralized power is more than an energy shift. It is a declaration of resilience, innovation, and hope. By harnessing the boundless light above us, nations can illuminate pathways to prosperity, empower communities, and secure a sustainable future. The dawn is no longer a promise deferred; it is a reality within reach. As this new age of light unfolds, it carries with it the assurance that progress, equity, and opportunity will shine on every corner of the land.

We have single Mums that can make good wives, and no matter what the society says, there are single Mums that can make good homes.

If you look deeply, a single Mum having a child may not be the main issue of many guys, but below may be the issue many guys avoid single Mums in marriage.

(1) Fear of she cheating with her baby daddy: Do you know how painful it may be loving and supporting a single Mum only to discover she is sleeping with her baby daddy who may be so irresponsible.

(2) Fear of not being a father to her child or children: If after a man marries a single Mum and treats her child or children so well like a true father, and gets dumped in the future because he is not their biological, such may be so painful to him.

(3) Fear of divided emotions: A single Mum may be emotionally connected to both her husband and baby daddy. This might make her husband feel unsafe in the marriage; and if he expressed his concern, there may be outburst that he is just being insecure.


As a lady, never accept to get pregnant before marriage, no matter the promises given. Just avoid pre-marital sex. Again, if baby Daddies had married their baby Mamas, this issue may have subsided.

You didn't exhaust the topic, what those mother's that their husbands died that resulted to them being a single mother.

Prettychild:
Which one is ‘I’m a godmother’! Some people will not check the meaning of some words before using it. How can you be a godmother to your child? SMH

A number I don't know and didn't save as contact tagged a group we are both in for her WhatsApp status.



I viewed the status and replied her DM with a question and we chatted a bit.

But I didn't save up and the chat never continued.


But I notice that ever since then her status shows amongst my contacts as if her number is saved.

Like I'll just see her status with her name and I am confused.

Why is it so, how do I stop it? This wasn't happening before until this new WhatsApp update.

delete her number from your contacts

Burob:
Why the smiling emojis, u yourself couldn’t help but laugh @ Gringory Obi abi?

I really had a good laugh after viewing the short clip, what the heck is he saying? the man is indeed hilarious.

He will count the people in line, even the ones that are not registered, & their names don’t appear in the voter’s register, as long as they are there, they will be countered as voters?

No wonder,a political analyst said recently that peter obi is unintelligent.Its now proven with this recent outburst

Dazidon:
1.my problems ( disappoinments,debts, health issues, issues related to lack of convenient personal residence) increase faster than the money I make

If my money increases by 5 % , then the problems increase by over 200%


Am not exaggerating

Am in a serious dilemma now and addiction relapse happens at intervals of recurring misfortunes like the ones I mentioned


2, God will have people defending him but blasting me


3, The spiritualists keep asking me to bring more money for certain other things

You are under destiny test,the universe has a way of testing you before breakthroughs will come.

If you ruin it,then you are done, because what you are experiencing now will multiply.

Remain calm and focused as this is the time you will be lonely,a time of sober reflection,a time for clarity.

At the end of this stage in your life,you will wonder how things will turn around for your good.

This period try to align with God and try to stay away from sin.

I am talking from experience,I have there before.

I mean the op of the below thread stated that she makes over $300,000 yearly working as a nurse in America

And she has been a nurse since 1991


Is it true guys? Do American doctors and nurses make such money? 💰

Yes, Doctors and nurses are highly remunerated and valued in the US.

Despite the US attack, terrorist activities still persist seamlessly.

America need to be on ground to get useful information and not just airstrikes .

Look for their hideout and engage them head on and dislodge them.

Arrest their backers and sponsors especially those in the government

kingebilade:
I’m a young Nigerian from Bayelsa.

For a long time, I honestly believed money was just hard to get in this country.

I tried many things: Crypto
Online platforms
Telegram “hustles”
Small offline jobs

Nothing stable.

Then one day, something hit me hard.

Most Nigerians are not poor because they are lazy.

They are poor because nobody ever taught them how money really works.

Nobody taught us SALES.

Not shouting. Not begging. Real selling.

That day changed everything for me.

I started learning digital selling using only my phone.

👉 No laptop.
👉 No office.
👉 No big connections.

Just WhatsApp and consistency.

Slowly, small results started coming.

Then I realized something shocking:

People like Dangote are not rich because they are lucky.

They are rich because they understand DISTRIBUTION and SALES.

That’s when I decided to write everything I learned into a small ebook for young Nigerians.

Not motivation.

Real practical stuff

If you’re tired of struggling financially and you’re willing to learn a real skill, drop a comment.

Let’s talk.

How can one get the said e book

mrvitalis:
That's a lie
Money and power just reveal people true nature to others

Both of you are saying the same thing

merrymike47:
I got your point bro. I just don’t really care about people’s opinion.

You must care about people's opinion about you because they shape and directs you.

merrymike47:
😂 make you con cook chicken stew when fowl lost. You are a suspect, you go explain tire.

I don’t give room for those kinda neighbors tho, if they want to die, they should die already.

I am not concerned about the Op’s neighbors, I am only concerned about the Op’s health, the Op should be finding time to exercise his body. Taking a walk, hitting the gym, etc...

On a serious note,one should avoid as much as possible,any situation that will make people too suspicious of your activities.Wisdom is profitable to direct.

pcagbaji:
Invite some of them to come and see what you are doing explain to them while in your house how it works try to be little friendly why doing so

He shouldn't do that as he doesn't owe them any explanation.It is childish to do that.

Techpik:
Happy Sunday guys, this have accusation of labeling me yahoo guy in the compound have happened on many occasions during compound meeting, side talks etc.

But I’m not to be sincere I’m a freelance website developer working from home, I have worked for lots of people even on this nairaland, within Nigeria and abroad at the comfort of my home.

What use to trigger this labeling is because most of my neighbors go out in the morning and come at night and I’m always indoor (at home) living good.

So this have been causing side talks and even confrontations from some neighbors.

Most times I have been explaining and try to prove to them, that I’m a freelance website developer that I worked from home.

Before anybody will think the same on nai.raland, you can check me on google Techpik and all social medias and my site.

You will even see good reviews from people I have completed projects for.

I also need your advice guys, to deal with those neighbors.

You must learn to align with your environment,

Look for an office to rent outside your home,many entrepreneurs like myself leave my house everyday to my office not because I can't work at home but because of the environment I find myself.

There's a saying that whenever fowls got lost in a compound it's the person that's always at home that will be ask about it whereabouts.

Look for an office,and leave your house for your office every morning

Christmas day: Four things you should know as a genuine believer

After going through the bible and examining the word 'Christmas'

Here are three facts you need to know as you go out to celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ tagged on this day.

1. No Christmas in the bible:
The word Christmas is not stated in the holy book from Genesis to Revelation. And the bible stated it clear that, punishment will be upon those who add or remove in this bible.
Deuteronomy 4:2, Revelation 22:18


2. No one knows the day Jesus Christ Was born .. Matt 2:1
This day December 25th was only assumed by some persons.
King Herod also assumed so he ordered the killing of newbies from 2 yrs below.
The wise men also looked for the star to assume the day. Or did Mary nor Joseph recorded the exact day? Go and make more research about December 25.

3. The period Jesus Christ was born, sorrow and tears surfaced.
During the period Jesus birth, king Herod ordered the massacre of every male child as from 2yrs below.
This period, most families were in mourning and lamentations. So who had time to celebrate his birthday?🤣

4. The gifts presented to Jesus by the wise men and what it represent.
The Wise Men (Magi) presented Jesus with
(a) Gold: symbolizing His kingship;
(b) Frankincense: representing His divinity/priesthood;
(c) Myrrh: foreshadowing His sacrificial death and embalming,

The bottom line is, as you go out to celebrate the birth of Jesus, also remember the reason why He was born and died for you and I.

Don't add nor remove anything in this book.
Deuteronomy 4:2
Revelation 22: 18

You must be a sadist in real life
