Politics › Re: 2027 Is Between APC And ADC - Umar Ardo by SamuelLoch: 9:16am On Oct 27
FreeStuffsNG:
You are politically naive and it is a shame that you dabble into issues that you lack the humility and education to comprehend. As we type here, 99% of all political offices in Lagos belong to Asiwaju's APC while the content creator you support has none.

Asiwaju is the President of Nigeria today and had reduced the content creator you support to a fringe minor party yet you still struggle to comprehend who won Lagos.Smh.

It is always easy to beat you in politics because you can easily be distracted with 'wins without substance'. Asiwaju had Lagos political power before and after the election, and till date. That is what counts.
I thought that the election results are determined by the choice of the ordinary Nigerians who are eligible to vote. Has this changed?

When did election results ultimately depend on the validation, alliance and political party of the current President, State Governors and members of HOA. If you say it's a factor or forms part of the major determinant, we get it.

You can be in office and still be booted out, unless you are the people's choice, or you corrupted the electoral processes in any way.

Travel › Re: Video Of A Large Truck Going Past A Broken Down Minibus On The Niger Bridge. by SamuelLoch: 11:37pm On Oct 20
naptu2:
The Niger Bridge was recently rehabilitated and barriers were placed on the bridge to create a median.

Some people claimed that the bridge was a two-lane road and that the median would create traffic jams. They claimed that nobody would be able to pass the bridge if a vehicle broke down on it. This is not true.

The bridge is actually a four-lane bridge and vehicles are able to go past any broken down vehicle on the bridge. This video illustrates that point.

A minibus broke down on the bridge and a large truck was able to go past it without problems.

Barely two days after your claim, it has happened. A truck broke down and motorists are suffering gridlock.

Truth can be established in the mouth of many. Not everything is an attack.

1. If that minibus had a side mirror, the truck would break it when passing.

2. If it was a truck that broke down, another truck may not be able to pass freely.


What has been done has been done, but the fact remains that they could have thought about it differently and explored another sustainable approach.

People that own dogs, and let their dogs loose all the time ehn?

There should be fines and penalties for such incidents.


What if something happened to her infant after the fall cause by the loose dog.

Dogs are man's best friends but it's still a dog that can attack when triggered.

Good morning to you
Politics › 2027 Electricity Subsidy Removal: No Plan To Increase Electricity Tariffs – FG by SamuelLoch(op): 8:20am On Oct 17
The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, said on Thursday that the Federal Government (FG) had no plan to increase electricity tariffs.

Tegbe said this in Ibadan while flagging off the 17.7MW hybrid solar mini-grid project, with a 17.74MW Battery Energy Storage System for communities in Oyo State.

The minister described reports of a planned tariff hike circulating on social media as misinformation and urged Nigerians to disregard it.

“I want to say this clearly and without ambiguity: there is no plan to increase electricity tariffs.


“What we are planning is a power sector that works round the clock,” he said.

He said the FG’s commitment to regular power supply starts with having three Energy Zones: the Lagos-Ogun corridor, Abuja-Kaduna-Kano corridor, and the Benin-Enugu-Port Harcourt corridor.

He explained that the 17.7MW project would serve communities across Akinyele, Ido, Ibadan North, Egbeda and Lagelu Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Oyo State.

According to him, the interconnected mini-grid would improve supply to homes and businesses, reduce dependence on generators and create better conditions for investment and jobs in the beneficiary communities.

Tegbe commended President Bola Tinubu for his leadership under the Renewed Hope Agenda and appreciated the Olubadan of Ibadanland for his support.

He also thanked the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), Paras Energy, the World Bank, Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) and the Oyo State Government for their contributions.

He said the FG plans to build and improve the national grid across the eastern, western and central corridors to ensure stability and extend the 24/7 power vision to every part of Nigeria.

He said the FG plans to build and improve the national grid across the eastern, western and central corridors to ensure stability and extend the 24/7 power vision to every part of Nigeria.


Mr Deolu Ijose, the Managing Director (MD)/Chief Executive Officer (CEO), IBEDC, said the new mini-grid project would provide electricity to 22,597 customers across five communities.

Ijose said the project, developed by Paras Energy and Natural Resources Development Limited, would provide 17.7MWp solar PV generation with battery storage to Bola, Jiboye, Molade-Adelubi, Ogo-Oluwa, and Sooko-Elega clusters.

According to him, IBEDC’s existing distribution infrastructure will be used to integrate and deliver electricity generated by Paras Energy.

He said that this model would show how DisCos and private developers could collaborate to improve access.

Ijose added that the project builds on IBEDC’s previous innovative interventions such as the Mokoloki Mini-Grid in Ogun and the recently commissioned Oke-Oyi mini-grid in Kwara.

He then urged the host communities to protect the infrastructure.

The MD/CEO of REA, Abba Abubakar-Aliyu, said the project details are: 1.8 megawatts in Bola, Akinyele LGA and 3.5 megawatts in Jiboye, Ido LGA.

Others are 6.9 megawatts in Molade, Ibadan North LGA; 3.6 megawatts in Ogo Oluwa, Egbeda LGA, and 1.9 megawatts in Sooko, Lagelu LGA.

Earlier, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, lauded the minister for including rural and underserved communities in various power reform projects.

He urged the Oyo State Government to speed up work and complete its ongoing hybrid power project before 2027 for residents to start enjoying regular power supply.

Earlier, Gov. Seyi Makinde, represented by the state Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Prof. Dahud Shangodoyin, said the government would continue to pursue practical electricity interventions across the state.

He noted that the state government’s Hybrid Independent Power Project, meant to serve the state’s secretariat and other strategic public facilities, has a plant capacity of 11 MW.

He recalled that the 5 MW phase was commissioned in 2024.

“Our wide agenda includes solar power for public facilities, rural electrification, mini-grids, as well as private sector-led generation and distribution.

“Therefore, no single technology can meet every need,” said Makinde.

He charged the developer and implementing institutions to maintain clear construction and commissioning mindsets, and comply with applicable licenses and technical standards. (NAN)

The mother is definitely not in a good state. I hope she's with people to encourage her. If possible, they should halt calling the twins until either of them reaches out themselves. It's a safety measure.
Education › Re: Dear Son, In 2026 Go Learn A Skill And Leave University For Women by SamuelLoch:
I don't think this is the solution to whatever you want to solve, too.

If you analyze it as a system, you'd see why I'm saying so...

Think of what Nigeria would look like in the next 10 years when all the men do not attend the University. The race condition wouldn't end.

In fact, the man or few men who dared to be different by going to the university is/are the one that would be praised. Then, someone like you would come out again to say all men should attend the university.

Equally to your notion, there are more people that went to the University and are doing exceptionally well, too. Nigerian courses are really just something else and backward. Imagine studying agricultural science for 5 years plus x years of strike. Lecturers don't go for further improvement rather than the condition of writing further programs to become a Doctor or Professor.

Systems, enabling environment for the exceptional ones because everyone is not the same, access to information, and daring to be different are more paramount, than dropping out or not.
Politics › Re: Nigeria at 66: State of the Nation address by Atiku Abubakar (video) - Full Text by SamuelLoch: 1:15pm On Oct 01
Honestly, no one should drop a comment here without hearing all that Atiku had to say.

Atiku made some fantastic points! We forget a lot in this country, and what he did was a review of Tinubu's promises, statements, and Independence Days address against the realities of today. He also called out Tinubu's mode of governance with examples against what proper democracy should be.

We have forgotten that Tinubu didn't say so much, but he made quite a lot of promises. For instance, who remembered that Tinubu said, "Transport fares will be cheaper from October 1st"? Today is October 1st, but that promise is missing.

This doesn't make Atiku holy or a worthy candidate, but the delivery, wake up call, and subtle reminder to the President is excellent - that's the beauty of having oppositions rather than a one-party state.

If you like believe these things... If he loses, he will apologise to the President and day some other words, and live goes on...

All of those men sitting there think they are higher humans, they were hosted at the standard office with the FCT Minister... This will only last from now until immediately after the elections.

That was 24 years ago. Over two decades, a lot has changed since then, or are we not a progressive society anymore?
Politics › Re: Borno Police Arrest Five Men For Wearing ‘Tinubu Must Go’ T-shirts, by SamuelLoch: 8:58pm On Sep 29
The FIR stated: “On 25/09/26 at about 1100 hours, you Baba Aji Gremami, male; Mustapha Abba Yemen, male; Abbacha Mohammed Ali, male; Adam Umar Gubio, male and Abdulhamid Mohammed, male, conspired together by printing same T shirt with some inscription written ‘Tinubu Must Go’ on it with the intent to cause breach of public peace within West End roundabout community, thereby, you all committed an offence contrary to Section 60, 78, 79 and 392 of Borno State Penal Code.”
How did the Police Officers understand and conclude on the intention?

Well, this isn't a tough case. The Police Officers cannot necessarily tie the writeup on the shirt to the President.
1. He is not the only "Tinubu"
2. "Tinubu must go" can mean different things. It can also mean "Tinubu must go back to Aso Rock"

If it is solely because of this write-up, this case holds nothing against the guys. It's just pure intimidation from the Police Officers. Yet another bullying, intimidation, suppression by enforcing power, and misplaced priorities.
Autos › Re: I Have A Car To Give Out For Bolt by SamuelLoch: 4:57pm On Sep 26
jayinfo2:
Hello everyone,

I have a Toyota Camry available for anyone in Lagos who is interested in using it for Bolt business.

Terms: The driver is expected to remit ₦150,000 weekly.

I am specifically looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and committed driver who can meet the weekly remittance consistently without excuses or delays.

If you are genuinely interested or know someone who fits these requirements, please send me a message for further details.
Lol! You think this is practicable? Sorry, bro, it is not.

By the way, don't think I need the ride, not at all. I really dunno why I clicked on the link though.

Your options
1. A lease-to-own agreement on the condition of N150k weekly will work.
2. Slashing this by half will work, and reduce your headache from stories the driver will give you. That's about N280k monthly and you own the car still.


If you have thought it through and want to proceed, just know that your plans for N150k weekly will come with so many headaches unless you concluded on fueling the car yourself, handling every repair and maintenance, and in some cases, provide the clients that will contribute to the N150k weekly.
Family › Re: Recently Got Married, Thinking Of Buying Keke by SamuelLoch:
Creatormixx:
Greetings to you all.


I got married early this year, it’s been 4 months in and I am in a dilemma. My wife is pregnant and she keeps complaining of using public transport to and fro work.

I am the kind of man that always want to solve my problems ASAP.

I am thinking of buying a car, but I don’t have enough cash to buy something decent. I have been thinking of buying Keke, not for private business but to be mobile at list. I haven’t discussed the Keke idea with my wife sha.

The plan is to be able to take her to work and pick her after work. What are your thoughts please.

I have 800k saved up. Just so you know.
"the kind of man that loves to solve problems ASAP" - You're about to begin the roller-coaster of mistakes.

Thousands of women, business and corporate women enter public transport to work during pregnancy. They were careful and they did not die.

Don't forget that you have to start preparing to welcome a child and kids can be expensive. She will soon pause work, and the sole responsibility is on you. Don't box yourself in a rat race!

Do your research well, have a good conversation with her and jointly agree on progressive alternatives. When she's leaving for work in the morning, you can escort her to the bus stop, or get her a BRT card for ease of commuting. You can find someone that drives to work around her route. You can book her a ride when it starts getting closer to her EDD.


You can do business, top up your savings and get a car. A car is completely different from a Keke - think of rain, flood, access to certain roads. If you still want to buy the Keke, it's your money and your decision, go for it.

Unfortunately built a new tenant house after first year of payment and expiry all the three tenant are oweing 4 month rent. This is painful and a big discouragement to me as this is my first investment. It’s totally turn me off from going into further housing investment. Can someone one advise how to go about this. There is a mentality that when u issue 6 month notice to quit tenant live in the house free during those period without paying is this true.
GO and find the Tenancy Act for your location. I know Lagos State has 2 Tenancy Act.
Did you overcharge them the first year rent and fees?

Anyway, discuss with them. Be considerate, and at the same time be firm.

When I queried, she told me I can negotiate but the increment is non-negotiable. Meanwhile, I did the renovations myself.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Chelsea Vs Hull City (2 - 2) On 12th September 2026 by SamuelLoch: 4:24pm On Sep 12
Hamachi:
My current prediction:

Chelsea 3–2 Hull.

But if Chelsea concede the next goal, I wouldn't be surprised to see Hull win it.
The biggest lesson from this match isn't "Alonso can't defend." It's: Chelsea currently have a bigger gap between their attacking structure and defensive structure than a team with Champions League ambitions should have.
And that's exactly the sort of thing Alonso needs to solve quickly.
Promoting Malo Gusto to the midfield and leaving the young guys at the back is a major change that should be rolled back. Chelsea's midfielders are like attackers, too.


Those boys lack understanding of their roles when defending, too. Those goals were not necessarily the defenders faults


Better still bring in another defender to make it 4 at the back....
