And I guess Iran has paid you to be able to deal with the economic aftermath of oli price taking flight.
And I truly hope you are not still under your parents' roof

HacheNoire:
That’s a good one!

Anything to make the world economy unstable is healthy!

Iran should go for Saudi Aramco and let oil prices take flight. I don’t know why they are ignoring that facility . I guess they saving it for the last days.

Let’s see who folds first!

Moreover, Iran has started installing Christmas lights on US base in Jordan.

I hear say dem dey knack this one almost everyday for international tv under the cover of duvet plus one other Akwa Ibom girl in the house

Same thing happened around Joke Ayo and AIT/Raypower. People that were well beyond the setback allowance for the Powerline still lost their parcels of land and buildings, only for the Local government chairman and commissioner to reallocate to cronies and allies

NIGERIAJAGAJAGA:
Don't trust lagos government on demolished the buildings because of high tension. They will rebuild it as shops then sell it to highest bidders. Come to jakande gate at Ejigbo u will know what's going on. They lied that they demolished buildings because of power line, only for them to rebuild it and sold it.

Na 200 naira owo mi da cause am. 10 people lost their lives, 8 Hausa and two Yoruba. The Hausa biker stabbed agbero, ran away and bike was burnt. He came back with their group and stabbed an innocent bricklayer to death. Na there Kadapa burst.
Meanwhile agbero was former Eye number one for that side

carlo90:
What was the cause of the clash ?
I heard it was a fight between some cultists from yoruba and aboki bike riders .
Lives were lost from both side.
Why is Lagos state government not talking about the clash ?
Were the perpetrators of those crime caught?
Why using the levelling down of some shanties under power line the real discussion here ?

Kidnappers/bandits even dey that side. They usually make us of that river to go carry out their nefarious activities and come back there after securing their victims elsewhere.
You would have caught up with news items when there was mad traffic while that bridge was under refurbishment Abi Na repairs

Mrchippychappy:
Another possible flash point is that Kara market area around Berger. The level of confidence and disregard these people operate with there. They recklessly grope and manhandle those local girls that sell around that area and the Agberos are even scared to confront them to avoid escalation and make I no even talk about the numerous road block and accidents wey Cow dey cause for that side. I am surprised there's no rapid response or even military checkpoint in that area. That place is terribly volatile.

He can actually be that age if he was born outside Africa but you and I know that in sports, especially in West Africa, age falsification is still rampant. No matter how little, dem still dey doctor am and I am even talking from experience. The school I once worked had athletes that were turning out for the state and country, Na every year dem dey do fresh passports for thos girls then. The principal didn't really like it but in sef throw face eventually as Na feathers for am too

Na 200 naira agbero owo mida start am. They Hausa biker refused to pay and argument ensued. He stabbed the Union guy and ran away. His bike was burnt.
The Union guy Na former Eye confra number one. The Hausa went to mobilise and stabbed a harmless bricklayer on their return. Na there Kadapa burst. 8 Hausa guys were killed and 2 Yoruba.
Na the useless Keiran and Agbado police stations I dey vex for . Ba*"ards ran away at first while waiting for RRS reinforcement and these mofos are the most notorious for checking vehicle particulars and Tracing even your chassis number letter for lettrr, word for word

Tunde25:
It might be one useless man from either side that caused the fight. He/She might have done or said something that doesn't need any trouble o

This Nairaland sef Na dead place most times. Assuming say Na life and death now, everybody for don kpai for late info. Something wey happen since 2 days

muyico:
Really
Lagos of today
Wot caused d fight??

Please you guys should stop mistaking this data for inadequate capacity to generate. In most cases, they do generate income internally, but the most of it end up in private pockets through informal sectors mostly.
Even the National Assembly members and state legislators dey follow insert their loyalists for the chop chop arrangements

That Baba don old. Na same you dey always propagate culture and traditions, na same you dey wash Obas for outside. That's if this true sha but he did one in Oyo that time

Vested interests in corrupt practices have so much bastardised the system. Check deeply and you will find probably 50 more of these kinds of agencies in Government. Billions of dollars going down the drain into people's pockets annually.
Why dem noor go get hectares of farmlands, apartments in Dubai and money in tax havens, mostly untraceable

They should just go and copy the Nike template and infuse local traditional attires design template when they come on board. They should do away with their one way traffic design of yesteryears

Make this Peakmilk guy go siddon dey enjoy inn loot. He expanded the rot afflicting Nigeriaa football now

This one wan suddenly use journalist and woman aura smuggle her way into Government house. She will be back in the next dispensation for another round of try your luck. We Sabi them

Did someone just tell me that Okafor's law is in operation!
I wan confam something 😂😆😂😆😂😆

The boy been wan check out the car osf the guy recording sef. He's a beggar and at the same time, a potential thief

Sheybe na fish you call am, noor be cockroach. All fish na fish

Dem dey dey philosophical, the ones I've seen ooo and I don't mean the smelly Igbo smokingand opa eyin drinking ones

Wetin inn eye go see, inn mouth noor go fit talk am. Try am if e easy 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆. Nigeria go humble you. There is endemic corruption in the system so much that you can almost achieve nothing, bottlenecks all the way

Hemanwel:
The best news that has come out of Nigeria this year!

It's time for Michael Emenalo to take charge of the affairs at the Glass House

I wonder what folks like you fancy n from this tomfoolery

Onkoolos:
The samething happened to me last week when I landed in Nigeria from canada, I had to call my driver to bring my 100 million gle to come and pick me at the airport.. I have the money but I cant be wasting money on useless things..

Lailai, they can't even unlock with fingerprint, not to talk of face ID.
N.B: I mean those with retina scanners, not just facial outline

In the ideal world, all you have submitted is just as it should be. I don't like that you are sidestepping the Nigerian avarice that is the bane of rewards that such systems should have sustained.
That the NNPC was made to sell at a price probably below production cost wasn't the issue, the fact that they made sure to ingratiate themselves with such cupidity that they never cared if the system was going to crash. Just imagine that people got money to bring in fuel in the subsidy regime, then turn around to sell the same fuel on the international waters just off the Nigerian coast any they keep repeating the cycle.
Mind you, this was after they completely destroyed the refineries.
Can it ever get better in like the next 3 generations!

nairalanda1:
NNPC issues arose because they were not being run as a capitalist company.

They were forced to sell their products for decades at prices below the production costs

The same issues happened with many state run companies in the former Soviet bloc.

Like in Poland, food was sold below what it cost to produce it under communism . The result was repeated year in and out scarcity and sales of food at inflated prices on the black market.

When food sellers were allowed to set their prices on the market once communism fell, food prices rose very very high, but food got plentiful.

It's been over 36 years since Poland had food scarcity.

Capitalism's works because it allows people make money. Not just the rich , even the not rich.

Well, I don't have data to counter the facts you just posited at the moment. It might be true but don't trust these Nigerian capitalists, dem Sabi milk the system.
Just look at the shenanigans with NNPC since 19 gbogboro

nairalanda1:
Okay, the problem is that the losses made from undercharging from other bands is making power companies lose money that they cannot even meet their band A obligatons.

That's it in plain english.

Same issue in India.

Even inn church and mosque leaders dey gamble online. Noor mind am. What you can say to that is that they bet responsibly and strategically, noor be the every day user weyy go wan take 50k run 10odds or dey look for 20000 odds with 1k on auto repeat.
I jam one big man for one health facility last season, the money wey thatan press for 1.78 odds do me like movie

jmoore:
You spoke like a novice. Many that bet online are greater in number than those who enter betting shops.

Whey e dey call God name for gambling matter. This Gods dey gentlo oooo

writers100:
I find this very intriguing. Lol.

And how do you explain being charged for Band A Tariff while they are not supplying the power for which they are charging consumers. The money they have been making therein doesn't make it into data and statistical analysis.
Then what about being given power and they refuse to distribute so that they can always hold government to ransom for fake subsidy payments. That one is easier to collect in the long run that improving infrastructural capacities and expanding customer base
What ya say!

nairalanda1:
Right and here is something nigerians would miss, including the guy I quoted

1 🟠 Abuja — ₦51.79bn | ₦42.16bn
2 🟣 Ikeja — ₦51.50bn | ₦42.67bn
3 🟣 Eko — ₦44.69bn | ₦40.52bn
4 🟣 Ibadan — ₦39.11bn | ₦25.53bn
5 🟤 Benin — ₦27.39bn | ₦18.97bn
6 🟢 Enugu — ₦26.89bn | ₦19.70bn
7 🟤 Port Harcourt — ₦26.27bn | ₦21.06bn
8 🔴 Kano — ₦19.87bn | ₦15.77bn
9 🔴 Kaduna — ₦17.48bn | ₦10.25bn
10 🟠 Jos — ₦16.92bn | ₦11.70bn
11 ⚫️ Yola — ₦6.80bn | ₦4.50bn

National total: ₦328.95bn received | ₦252.87bn billed

The 252.87 bn naira is the total of the values collected as revenue, while the N328.95 bn is the value of the electricity sent to discos by gencos to distribute..

The above explains why Nigeria cannot pay for good electricity.

And here is the cold fact

1. Only 20% of Nigerian consumers pay a cost reflective tarrif. The rest do not
2. For the rest government is supposed to pay a subsidy that covers the losses coming from paying the subsidised prices.. Government is not paying the subsidy
3. The above, ie no 2 has been going on for years.
4. As a result, the electricity sector cannot pay for improved power supply because it is not making enough money
5. On the good news, metering now covers nearly 60% of consumers and only 20% of consumers do not pay for the electricity they consume (that includes your president in aso villa).

And as a result, there is a severe liquidity crisis in the power sector....which is why we do not have light.

And population estimates

BlackViper:
Look at Kano in 8th place out of 11.

Has anyone ever noticed that when it comes to raw data connected to large population statistics, Lagos State is always ahead of Kano State? Be it in number of school children, university graduates, number of homes using electric meters, number of registered phone line users etc, Lagos is pre-eminent over Kano.



But have you also noticed that the only areas where Kano has consistently recorded higher figures than Lagos is in the number of registered voters and number of people living in multi dimensional poverty?

If you don't mind, can you please tone down this your usual shalaye. Personally, I like your in-depth analysis and insight on matters, but many times , it seems more like spamming the page to me.
I mean no offence, just an advice

SixSeven:
This is why names have a purpose but today people are looking for Jaden, Jayden and nonsense names that don't have any root in our culture or people but for survival as slaves to the West. Who knows? If Chinese dominate the world tomorrow, are we all going to be giving children Zhang, Xu and Lee? 🤡

The Yoruba people hold a deep philosophical belief in the cyclical nature of life and ancestral reincarnation (Atunwa or Yipada). When a prominent male ancestor-most commonly a paternal grandfather, great-grandfather, or occasionally a father-passes away, the first male child born into the family shortly after is seen as the physical or spiritual return of that patriarch. The child is not viewed as a completely "fresh" beginning, but rather as a continuation of the family's existing lineage and ancestral spirit.

In Yoruba tradition, names are deeply tied to the context of a household at the time of delivery-captured in the famous maxim, "llé là ń wò kí á tó sọ omo l'órúko" ("We consider the state of the household before naming the child". Babatunde falls under the category of situational or historical names. It serves as a living archive, pinpointing exactly when the child was born relative to a major family transition (the loss of an elder).

Naming a child Babatunde is a high form of respect to the deceased elder. It ensures that the patriarch's name, impact, and presence are not forgotten by the household. It is believed that the child will grow up to inherit the wisdom, character, and responsibilities of the ancestor they embody.

What story does your name tell?
