SportsRe: The 2024 Women's African Cup Of Nations Begins Today by Scandium: 6:59am On Jul 05, 2025
Nchenches:
Africa women's cup of nations should have been the right name for the tournament.
Haba! The name of the cup (tournament) is "Africa cup of nations (Afcon)" so this is women's own tournament of the Afcon, that is why it is called Women's "Afcon"
PoliticsRe: Nigeria Records 10.92% Increase In Electricity Generation In Q1 2025 by Scandium:
nairalanda1:
Still have a long way to go though

We need 34000 mw to give those currently on the grid 24 hours of electricity a day

We need 89000 MW to give everyone in Nigeria right now 24 hours of electricity a day

We need 10-14 trillion naira of investments in electricity to achieve the above, and the investments is an annual thing , for 10 years

We need to make sure that no one steals power at all

We need to remove subsidies on power. I hate to say this , but we need to pay 250 naira or more per unit of electricity, which will attract the needed investment to make the sector grow. People don't like doing things for a loss.

We got to pay for 24 hour a day power.


I knows we poor, but power is expensive. And wanting government to give you power without removing subsidies is asking for government to take loans of 15 trillion naira annually for power. Which we will still pay back anyway in the form of high power bills.

Nothing comes cheap
Can someone remind me the budget for Lagos Calabar coastal road again. $11B (N15T)? Can someone define misplaced priority for me?

So the money that will be spent to fix the power problem cannot be recovered through properly enforced electricity billings? Infact the money Nigerians already pay annually for electricity bills, is it not close to that amount you stated?
PoliticsRe: Nigeria Records 10.92% Increase In Electricity Generation In Q1 2025 by Scandium:
Very funny country. Sometimes i wonder why electricity is not stable in Nigeria. Is it an impossible rocket science that cannot be achieved, or it is a deliberate act. If other countries especially African countries can do it, why can't Nigeria?
TravelRe: Trailer Crushes 17 To Death On Calabar-Itu Highway by Scandium: 4:42am On Jul 05, 2025
These trailers and their accidents just too terrible, they usually carry innocent people along most times. Our roads need to be fixed and the drivers need proper skill and mental evaluation regularly before being allowed to drive.

TravelRe: US: Business Jet Crashes In San Diego, Leaves Multiple People Dead by Scandium: 5:16am On May 23, 2025
Is it that the number of flights daily in US is too much leading to too much confusion in the air traffic control, plus too much wear and tear on the aircrafts, and lack of proper maintenance.

Why so much crashes of aircrafts in the US in recent years?

PoliticsRe: Wike's Aide Reacts As Women Protest In Support Of Emergency Rule In Rivers by Scandium: 7:46am On Apr 15, 2025
I just want to ask a question, after suspending the governor and imposing the state of emergency. Is the president doing anything or did he put in structure for conflict resolution for the parties at loggerheads to resolve their issues.

Abi him just suspend them come go sleep. So after the six months what happens?
PoliticsRe: FG Flags Off Cross River Section Of 750km Lagos-Calabar Highway by Scandium:
Good project if they can actually complete it and it really passes through the coast all through.

But i am wondering why don't government say or do anything about electricity. Is it impossible for Nigeria to have stable electricity even in this modern age? Or is there something hidden about this electricity thing we don't know.

The money used in constructing this road can go a long way in solving the electricity issue in the country but the government doesn't look towards such area at all. Why?

He won’t just be a governor o. He will be a monarch. He will see the state as his entitlement. So his hold on the state is forever.
Dont mind the man and those supporting him. It is just too obvious that he is pursuing the state creation stuff due to his personal interest.

You are right. But it is believed that this Anioma issue is born out of personal interest to him. Even some groups has come out to say one time that they are not fighting for any new state.

Isn't he the Senator representing Delta North? He should know better than you what his constituents want
Some groups have come out to say they didn't send him to agitate for any new state. He is doing it for his own personal interest. No body send am that one. Although anyhow it happens, no wahala.
PoliticsRe: I Will Shock Governor Oborevwori Over Creation Of Anioma State – Nwoko by Scandium:
Is Ogwashi-Ukwu not the headquarters of Aniocha South LGA? Why report it as Oshimili North. Or is there another Ogwashi-Ukwu in Oshimili North?

Why is this Ned wanting to force everyone in Delta North into a new state. Is it by force? Who send am? Who made him the spokesman of all Delta North (Anioma people). Who told him Anioma people want to leave Delta state and form a new state. The man is just fighting for a state where he will be a governor with ease.

Which day will government remove subsidy for Lagos Oloshos.

I am tired of paying 10k for all night
Do you even know the meaning of subsidy?
If subsidy is removed from something, it will become costlier.

Example when government removed subsidy from fuel, you saw the price went up till date.

Nigerian leaders are really problem of this country. It is only in this country they romance terrorists and kidnappers, in other countries i know, they bomb them to ashes. Ask Israel or US.

lexy2014:
fact is that there was no going to be reprisal attack in Uromi.

it could have only taken place in the north obviously with the backing of their politicians and permission of tinubu.

Esan people were shouting that it is their turn to produce governor.

they have produced the governor.

let them enjoy him
Na wa. The man is too scared as a leader. Herdsmen have been killing people and r^ping people daily all over middlebelt, South East, South west, and south south. Nobody has paid any compensation to those people. Even the presidency turned deaf ears.

I wish Edo people well in this 8 years.
