PoliticsRe: Power Sector: Biggest Scam In Nigeria — Ajaero, NLC President by shiwex: 2:48pm On May 18

Despite decades of reforms, significant public investment, and the privatisation of the power sector, millions of Nigerians continue to experience unreliable electricity supply, rising tariffs, and deteriorating infrastructure. For many households and businesses, access to stable power remains more of a hope than a reality.
More than ten years after the unbundling of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), expectations of improved efficiency and increased generation capacity have largely not been met. Instead, the sector continues to struggle with structural inefficiencies across generation, transmission, and distribution—each segment constrained by the weaknesses of the others.
At the core of the issue is a lack of coordinated planning. Power generation has not significantly expanded to meet growing demand, while transmission and distribution systems remain inconsistent and often unable to handle available supply. The result is a cycle of underperformance that affects economic growth, investment, and overall quality of life.
Concerns have also been raised about the effectiveness of the privatisation process. Critics argue that rather than attracting strong technical expertise and long-term investment, the sector has suffered from inadequate capacity, financial instability, and a focus on short-term returns. In some cases, companies lack the resources required to maintain or expand infrastructure, leading to persistent service failures.
At the same time, Nigerians continue to face increasing electricity tariffs, often without a corresponding improvement in service delivery. The introduction of banding systems has further deepened concerns about fairness and accessibility, with many communities receiving limited supply despite higher costs.
There is also growing public frustration over the perceived lack of transparency and accountability in the sector. Questions continue to be raised about how funds are allocated, the effectiveness of regulatory oversight, and whether current policies truly prioritise the needs of citizens.
What is clear is that meaningful reform is urgently needed. Addressing the challenges in Nigeria’s power sector will require:

A clear and long-term national energy strategy
Investment in new and diversified generation sources
Strengthening of transmission and distribution infrastructure
Greater transparency in funding and decision-making
Stronger regulatory enforcement and accountability

Improving the power sector is not just a technical necessity—it is central to economic development, job creation, and the well-being of millions of Nigerians. Without reliable electricity, businesses struggle, innovation is stifled, and everyday life becomes significantly more difficult.
The time has come for stakeholders—government, private operators, and regulators—to move beyond excuses and deliver practical, measurable results. Nigerians deserve a power system that works, and achieving that goal must be treated as a national priority.

There is a need for stronger measures to address cases of paternity misrepresentation and related forms of fraud, ensuring fairness and transparency for all parties involved. One potential approach would be the introduction of mandatory DNA testing at birth, which could help reduce instances of disputed parentage and provide clarity from the outset.
FamilyRe: Women Divorcee Club Welcomes A New Divorcee With A Party by shiwex: 4:51pm On May 15
There is a growing trend in parts of modern society where divorce is increasingly normalised and, in some cases, even celebrated. While it is important to acknowledge that some marriages do genuinely need to end for serious reasons, presenting divorce as something to be embraced or encouraged without careful thought is deeply concerning.
Marriage is a serious commitment, and its breakdown often carries long-term consequences—not just for the couple, but especially for children. Evidence and lived experience consistently show that children are the most affected, facing emotional, psychological, and sometimes economic challenges when family structures collapse. Treating such a serious matter lightly risks overlooking the lasting impact on the next generation.
Equally troubling is the culture where individuals may be encouraged to walk away from relationships without prioritising reconciliation, communication, or professional support. Strong support systems should ideally promote stability, responsibility, and thoughtful decision-making, rather than reinforcing decisions that may have far-reaching consequences.
For societies like Nigeria, it is essential to carefully reflect on which cultural influences are adopted. Not every trend observed elsewhere aligns with the values, structure, or long-term well-being of local communities. Preserving strong family foundations should remain a priority, as they are central to societal stability.
There is a need for greater awareness, guidance, and support for couples facing challenges—focusing on conflict resolution, counselling, and shared responsibility. Governments, community leaders, and families must take proactive steps to strengthen the institution of marriage and prioritise the wellbeing of children.
If this issue is not addressed with urgency and balance, there is a real risk of long-term social consequences that could be difficult to reverse. The goal should not be to stigmatise divorce where it is necessary, but to ensure that it is not treated as a casual or celebrated outcome where it might have been avoidable.

EducationRe: Ijebu-Ode Chemical Odour Incident: Ogun Government Activates Emergency Response by shiwex: 4:26pm On May 15
The handling of this incident raises serious concerns about the government’s approach to public safety and the value placed on human life. It is deeply troubling that, barely one month after a similar occurrence, another chemical exposure has affected over 90 students. This suggests not only a failure to learn from previous incidents but also a lack of urgency and accountability in preventing recurrence.
While the activation of an emergency response is necessary, it is reactive rather than proactive. The repeated exposure of schoolchildren to hazardous conditions points to systemic negligence. Citizens should not have to suffer repeated health risks before decisive, preventive action is taken.
Furthermore, the response appears overly focused on reassuring the public instead of delivering clear answers. The priority should be the immediate identification of the source of the chemical odour. Anything less prolongs uncertainty and puts more lives at risk. The fact that elevated methane levels have been detected makes the situation even more serious and demands swift, transparent action.
There must be accountability. Those responsible—whether through negligence, regulatory failure, or direct involvement—must be identified without delay. Appropriate penalties, including fines and sanctions, should be enforced to ensure this does not happen again. Without consequences, such incidents will continue, and public trust will further erode.
Ultimately, the safety and wellbeing of citizens, especially children, must be treated as paramount. Anything short of decisive action, transparency, and accountability reflects a troubling disregard for human life.

PoliticsRe: Kogi East Youths Warn Governor Ododo Against Backing ‘third-term Agenda’ by shiwex: 10:38am On May 14
I write to express deep concern regarding the continued support for political figures who have demonstrated little to no tangible impact on the development and progress of Kogi State.
Recent remarks by stakeholders in Kogi East highlight a growing frustration among citizens, particularly the youth, over the practice of recycling leaders who remain inaccessible and disconnected from the people they are meant to serve. Leadership must be rooted in accountability, transparency, and a genuine commitment to improving the lives of constituents—standards that many feel have not been met.
The reported calls urging Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo to reject any alleged third-term agenda underscore an important principle: democracy must be guided by the will of the people, not by imposition or external influence. Allowing credible, loyal, and capable party members to emerge through a fair and transparent process is essential to restoring public trust and ensuring meaningful progress.
It is imperative that the party prioritises individuals who are not only experienced but also actively engaged with their communities and responsive to their needs. Continued endorsement of underperforming leadership risks undermining both public confidence and the party’s long-term prospects in the region.
Now more than ever, the people of Kogi State deserve leadership that is effective, people-oriented, and genuinely committed to development.

PoliticsRe: Katsina Approves N3.8bn Loan To Secure 3,890 Hajj Slots by shiwex: 1:20pm On May 11
A Question of Priorities: Why ₦3.8 Billion Could Better Serve Katsina’s Public Needs
While the spiritual significance of Hajj is undeniable, the Katsina State Government’s decision to approve a ₦3.8 billion loan to secure Hajj slots raises serious questions about public finance priorities, especially at a time of widespread economic hardship, insecurity, and infrastructure deficits in the state.
Katsina is grappling with poor road networks, overstretched healthcare facilities, underfunded schools, unemployment, rural water shortages, and persistent insecurity. In this context, committing borrowed public funds—money that taxpayers will ultimately repay—to subsidise a religious exercise for a limited number of citizens is difficult to justify.
1. Borrowed Funds Should Address Essential Public Infrastructure
Loans are generally justified when they fund projects that:

Create long‑term economic value
Improve productivity
Benefit the widest possible portion of society

₦3.8 billion could:

Construct or rehabilitate hundreds of kilometres of rural roads, improving trade and access to markets
Build or upgrade primary healthcare centres, directly saving lives
Equip schools and vocational centres, tackling youth unemployment
Invest in security infrastructure to protect lives and farmlands

These investments would have lasting, measurable benefits for millions—not just 3,890 individuals.
2. Hajj Is a Personal Religious Obligation, Not a State Responsibility
In Islam, Hajj is required only for those who are financially capable. By taking a loan to sponsor or facilitate pilgrims—including allowances and Hadaya—the government is effectively socialising a private religious cost, shifting the burden to the general population, including:

Non‑Muslims
Muslims who cannot afford or do not wish to perform Hajj
Citizens struggling to meet basic needs

This raises legitimate concerns about fairness and inclusivity in public spending.
3. Hidden Costs Multiply the Financial Burden
Beyond the ₦3.8 billion loan, the state also committed to:

$500 allowances per pilgrim
Sponsorship of Hadaya
Deployment of 200 officials for logistics, medical care, and guidance

When these costs are added, the true financial exposure is significantly higher, making the decision even harder to defend when debts, salaries, pensions, and capital projects compete for limited funds.
4. Opportunity Cost: What Katsina Is Sacrificing
Every naira spent reflects a choice. This decision signals that:

Pilgrimages are being prioritised over poverty alleviation
Short‑term political goodwill outweighs long‑term development planning
Symbolic gestures are chosen over structural solutions

For communities facing hunger, displacement, or lack of clean water, this choice may appear disconnected from reality.
5. Governance Should Be Neutral and Development‑Focused
Good governance requires restraint, neutrality, and focus on collective welfare. Supporting religious activities—particularly through loans—risks:

Blurring the line between state and religion
Setting precedents that strain future budgets
Encouraging dependency rather than empowerment

Faith can and should thrive, but public borrowing should be reserved for public goods.

Conclusion
The issue is not opposition to Hajj or religion, but responsible stewardship of public resources. In a state facing pressing development and security challenges, ₦3.8 billion could have transformed infrastructure, strengthened public services, and improved everyday life for far more people.
True leadership is shown not by grand gestures, but by hard choices that place the common good first.

Nonetheless, her parents should get a second opinion because Nigerian doctors are usually too hasty to give a medical diagnosis which mostly turns out wrong.

I only see them four days in a month. I pay child support of £600 monthly and £250 alimony. I have now ended up in a one room I am renting.
