You are also violating Rule 13.

Racoon:
How can the BBC be attributing the economic hardship in Nigeria today to the Ukrainian war?

So that's the only thing your head was able to comprehend in the article by Nkechi Ogbonna.

Okay.

jowhyte:
Edo state already have a functional one for the past 3 years called the OSSIOMO power plant. But the thing with most of the these independent power coy is their service is not cheap but you are guaranteed of stable power supply except when there is an occasional maintenance. My barber around country home road, ugbor GRA, have to ditch NEPA light and pack up his generator for the OSSIOMO power supply. He said regardless of the higher tariff it's cheaper and better than running Generator as a result of of the Epileptic power supply from NEPA. Most businesses, middle and high income earners are beginning to embrace the OSSIOMO too. Although stable and highly efficient but it's not cheap.

Truth is across the globe stable power/energy supply especially in western countries is not cheap.

The bolded is very true. Even people still bypass meter in developed world but it's not common as enforcement of laws are strict. Problem with Nigeria is law enforcement. This who are meant to enforce the law would collect bribe. Even people within the companies would also engage in ilegal practice. Till date, people bribe power companies workers to not disconnect or to also deflate amount on bills.

Ebubu2:
What do you mean he will have issues collecting tarrif?

It is going to be prepaid.

If you no pay, you no go even get light in the first place. When that one finishes, your light automatically goes off even when your neighbours have light.

He ain’t losing.

The only way he’ll lose is if thousands bypass meter which can’t occur because all the meters still belong to him.

Make all these hotel builders diversify abeg

Like prepay can't be bypassed by electricians. Lol.

But no where in the video was shown of him eating it.

Golan007:
Obi did not claim it .

By the way, wey this man?

This picture again 🤣🤣🤣
SANyeri of Nigeria.

raumdeuter:
Then this man since he is saying it in front of Fubara should tell Sim Fubara to step down and let the LP candidate assume position

😂😂😂

Yet they can't prove it in court after paying lawyers almost a billion naira.

An X user has cried out to Nigerians to come to thier rescue as APC through the Lagos state government is exacerbating the hardship faced by Nigerians in Lagos state.
Despite the harsh economic conditions of the country Lagos state Government is still fleecing traders with all manner of levies.
The latest being making traders to pay for a mandatory "prayer levy" or have their wares confiscated.

So this sheet of paper printed in some body's room and parlour originated from LASG.

naija4life247:
He was given by Peter Giringori Agulu Obituary who has only one watch, but wears different watches at different times

😂. I remember when that Peter Obi's lamba was bursted.

The mob will come for you.

Goan release him yourself

Who is gonna pay for them.

Jokerman:
So the settlement no reach this time??

We are all suffering and smiling and enjoying it... What the protest needed for again?😂

To inflict more pain of course but hunger would chase people back into their homes.

If it doesn't go on, then they are foolish.

Abeg, the way people hype this project, how is it different from all the IPPs all over Nigeria?

Would Barth Nnaji's company be replacing all the feeders (distribution, transformers, e.t.c) because that's where alot of the power failure happen. Would people be forced to pay power bills especially those that consume alot e.g. the welders and other people that draw alot of current?

I know this particular one has been in the pipeline since the days of Yar'Adua.

SoNature:
If not that APC members love politics more than their lives, these are the kinds of technocrats that should be made the power minister.

Na for APC government lawyer be power and aviation ministers. Those people don't care about development; they are just after the next election!

Wasn't it PDP that kicked this same man out of government?

seunmsg:
Barth Nnaji should stop lying. Alex Otti started and completed the project within 6 months. Peter Obi would have even done 6 of similar project within six months in all the thirty six states if he was the president.

If the believe the nonsense above, you must definitely be an Obidient 🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

Putin won't like this.

Peter Obi don take cover

Godfullsam:
They honestly don't share anything in common.

While MNK is a known hater of the yorubas and often ask his headless followers not to have anything to do with yorubas and their churches, Mr Sunday Igboho is here calling for the release of kanu.

In addition, Nnamdi Kanu told his IPOB members to kill and steal soldiers gun. That was the origin of the killings of members of the police and armed forces in the SE.

He went to the US to solicit for guns to fight Nigeria.

Release fire.

LastProphet:
That's prof Barth Nnaji, the genius that would have fixed our power problem for good before Goatluck allowed scammer Sambo to scuttle the process and here we are

No. Barth Nnaji violated ethics bordering conflict of interest and got kicked out by GEJ.

judatech:
If an individual can achieve this...what's really wrong with Nigeria?

There are several IPP all over Nigeria.

richidinho:
Exactly what we have been saying

How would a sensible person spent 24bn on Hajj

Another 15bn for VP residence

Another 100bn for the National Assembly

Yet our basketball team needed just less than 20k$ to participate in qualifiers, they claimed that Nigeria is broke

Abeg remove the baskeball team from the list.

Which quarter finals. Those ones wey don collect 3 beatings from their group.

Speaking from both side of the mouth.

SpartaOfLagos:
With the anger, hunger and frustration all around the country right now due to the president's cluelessness and policy somersaults, i must say that Nigeria is sitting on a time bomb. And if nothing is done In the next few months, I am just afraid for this country.

Let it be on record that Tinubu has destroyed this country .

That's good..we want Nigeria to scatter.

EreluRoz:
Hmm the truth is I knew in my innermost heart that Obi was better for the job but all my family are APC and I like Tinubu so I campaigned vigorously for him with my old monika which I don't want anyone to know about and see where it has landed Nigeria now, people are suffering and dying and it made me feel so guilty. I just want to say the truth and free my heart. I pray God intervenes and right our wrongs for us. May God come to our rescue.

Same Peter Obi that elevated poverty in Anambra.

Why not Sowore?

Must Nigerians keep voting for thieves and political prostitutes?

Mynd44:
Former Central Bank Of Nigeria and Present Governor of Anambra State, Professor Charles Soludo in an article titled "History beckons and I will not be silent " wrote about the poverty level of Anambra state from 2006 to 2010 while the present Presidential Candidate of the Labor Party, Peter Obi was in his first term as governor of Anambra state.

In an article which many described as either very needless as they claimed Charles Soludo is merely bitter and angry, others praised it as they said it brought into public light numerous false misconceptions by Peter Obi's supporters.

Either way, his comment on the statistics of the poverty level in Anambra, got tongues wagging and fingers typing (mine included) and a lot of people have said the former CBN governor simply lied (but did he?)

Claim: Charles Soludo wrote that "…poverty in Anambra actually grew (from less than 25% in 2005) to about 53% under Peter Obi in 2010/2011 but fell under Willie Obiano to 14.78% in 2020. Yes, poverty more than doubled under Peter Obi and more than 50% of Ndi Anambra were in poverty under him. Go and verify"

This isn't all as he had wrote something similar in 2015 in an article titled "Buhari vs Jonathan: Beyond the Election" where he wrote that "According to the National Bureau of Statistics, poverty rose under his watch in Anambra from 20% in 2004 (lowest in Nigeria then) to 68% in 2010 (a 238% deterioration!)."

These two quotes seem similar but can also be be different as the numbers dont match but if we look closely, in the 2022 letter, he mentioned 2010/2011 which was mostly measured in 2011 and in the 2015 letter, he was specific about the year 2010.

Verification: According to a press briefing By then Statistician General of the federation and lead of the National Bureau of Statistics, Yemi Kale in a press briefing titled "Press Briefing By The Statistician-General Of The Federation/Chief Executive
Officer, National Bureau Of Statictics Dr. Yemi Kale" delivered in February 2012.

Now since the NBS does not release poverty levels per years, we can only judge with the 2010 report

It is seen that the poverty level of Anambra state as at 2010 was at 68% (see image below) which matches the value quoted by Professor Charles Soludo in his 2015 article.

Verdict: The statement by the Anambra state governor, Professor Soludo claiming that the poverty level in Anambra while Peter Obi was governor rose to 68% in 2010 and 53% in 2010/2011 can be said to be true and not an exaggeration.


Also notable is that when Peter Obi responded to Professor Soludo in 2015, he did not refute the poverty percentage.

I could imagine the class and calibre of people in such groups.

Broke people discussing about sex with ashawos and their perverted fantasies.

Could be. Depends on who you ask and how lucky or favoured those persons were.
