That's what I tell people.

Nigerians, rich and poor, and even the government, are not paying their electricity bills, and the result is a sector hamstrung by liquidity challenges. The subsidy and price controls make matters worse.

That means that discos cannot raise enough money to pay gencos. DIscos have to even reject power from the gencos because they know that people not paying means that no money to pay the gencos.

But most people na to deny, deny, deny. Some even misunderstand what privatization means. Yes, it means people invest, but it also means that customers have to pay the kind of cost reflective tarrifs that would make the investment make sense. Not this one where only 20% of people pay cost reflective tarrifs (and there is no way that revenue from the 20% who do pay can subsidsze the rest...).

A business must make a profit to survive. If you call someone tinubu supporter for saying that, that means you are saying that tinubu government get common sense, which as we know na oxymoron. And anyway, tinubu is keeping the price controls on the sector that are contributing to the problem.

You always talk like Nigeria is a working country, you can't apply the idea of bloated cost and payment which the western world is using in Nigeria.
Western world has bloated wages and bloated cost of living which will even out in cost and expenditure.

You can't come to Nigeria which has poor Income and be looking for bloated payments, you are just going to go bankrupt ask DSTV what happened to them.

So calm down with all these your increase tax and increase tariffs you are shouting, different systems work in different ways and Nigeria needs to do what will work for them.

nairalanda1:
Okay, enjoy what you paid for then.

Exactly they are providing shitty services with dilapidated infrastructure and that's exactly what people are paying for.

Any day they are ready for business, they should rehabilitate their infrastructure and improve power supply that, way they can charge good money for their services and anybody that can't pay would find alternative.

Your increase in FAC allocation is in náírà, and what iṣ the naira to dollar exchange rate now,

What I can use 100k to buy in 2023 can I use same 100k to buy same is 2026?

Naira to dollars rate in 2023 was ₦500 to a $1

Now it's ₦1500 to $1,
So what is the value of your increase if FAC allocation in naira?

You give a state 300 billion in 2023 and now u increased it to 900 billion and foreign exchange rate has increased by 300% in 2026, and u expect the increase in FAC to perform any magic

Una mumu no get part two in Nigeria
Una kuku dey sabi think in opposite direction in Nigeria

I've been shouting the same thing since, the increment in allocation was more of a necessity rather than luxury, Tinubu didn't do the governors any favour by increasing the allocation, that's what was needed to be done.

I just don't know why his propagandists are throwing that to our faces as an achievement.

CAF shouldn't try anything funny, na because of their corruption all these things happen.

Google is free... Ages of human evolution

You are not saying anything that I don't know, what I'm saying is the rate of development/evolution of recent is much faster than it was in the old times which is not adding up.

mrvitalis:
The questions you are asking were taught in secondary school

Not to me o, I'd like to get the answer from you since you were taught......

RealityKings1:
Someone was able to tamper with existence. They created a new order, Introduced different kinds of control apart from war. They are intelligent.

Looking around and seeing how desolate and unliveable other planets are, it's obvious there must have been some sort of destruction.

Seems only computers have been able to live through time since they are rocks which operate on light and different kinds of charges

I agree there was probably a reset at some point because this couldn't have been all we could achieve in more than 6000 years .

According to scientists, the earth is 4.5 billion years old, but according to the biblical records, the earth is 6000 years old, humans have also existed on earth for 300,000 years According to scientists.

Which ever way you look at it, the earth is too old to be at this level of civilization. Majority of the modern technology we used today were invented within the last 500 years with the biggest inventions coming within the past 150 years.

We also just ventured to leave this earth for the first time 60 years ago. If we could achieve this much in 150 years, why couldn't we do much in the first 1000 years? Cars and aeroplanes could have at least been invented 4000 years ago.

Bearing in mind that modern humans have walked the earth for at least 6000 years, what have we been doing for 5500 years? Are we really evolving or was there a reset at some point?

Psoul:
Oga you are shifting post. Our argument has always be in you saying that HIV patients live normal life.

It was in your last comment that you sneaked in long life in the argument.

See the marked lines. You can see how many times I mentioned long life. That showed that "normal life" is the center of the talk.
Prove me wrong by quoting one of more of my previous comments.

Stick to that and tell me what is Noel in living with HIV.
If you do much believe that with HIV, you'll still live normal life, why do you dread it?
If you by any chance noticed that a girl you're dating has it but you've not gotten it, will you still date her.

I don't know if you are intentionally being adamant but I replied you because of what you replied the first person.

Incase you have forgotten again that was your reply first reply

You've seen them live long...abi?
How old are you?
How old is the patient you know?
How long has the patient bn with the sickness?

That person you think is living a normal life is living in fear.
He/she will be scared to fall into anything that will take him/her to hospital especially when blood relate issue is involved.

There's nothing normal about HIV patients

So I don't know why you are intentionally ignoring that your first statement and focusing on normalcy.

We are obviously arguing about two things, longevity and normalcy and I never told you whether it can be normal or not.

At least we can establish longevity accurately unlike normalcy which can differ from person to person, what's normal to you you might not be normal to another person so leave that normalcy thing abeg.
Sit down and learn there are many serodiscordant couples out there living their life and they are not complaining so die that matter.

Psoul:
Oga, don't shift ground. Our argument has bn on you saying that people living with HIV can live normal life.
I told you that their morning normal in living with HIV.

Check all my responses, I'll always emphasize on morning normal in living with HIV.

The I was never arguing about how long they live. It was you that brought in that at last mentioning who you know that has lived with it for 20yrs. That was when I asked if that was long life.

Psoul:
You're the ignorant one here.
You said you've seen them for 20yrs.
So, 20yrs is the long life your talking about?
So if a patient of 20yrs gets the virus and live with it for another 20yrs and die, that's long life.

Oga, what is normal life when someone has to be drug dependent all the days of his life?
What is normal life when you'll have to live in fear of tomorrow?
Oga, in an much as we will try to minimize the stigmatization or discrimination, the truth must be told. There's no normal life living as HIV/AIDS person.

It's this kind of downplaying that will make some ppl think that there's no danger there, "after all if I get it, I'll be taking my drugs and live a normal life."

There's no normal life there.

I guess you have forgotten when you typed that, but I'm glad you've been able to understand that people with HIV can live long.

As for normal, if taking drugs makes someone abnormal then, abnormal people are more in number than normal people. Because it will shock you the amount of people depending on drugs to survive.

Psoul:
Oga preach all you could, I'll maintain that there's no normal life living with any sickness that you'll support your existence with medications.
I mean that kind of medications that when you stop taking, your existence will be in trouble.

Once you have medical issue that made medical doctors to give you lists of what to eat and not to eat, place you on daily, weekly or monthly medical drugs and tells how to engage in your social activities (most times, against your wish), you can't call that normal life.

You are now changing mouth, from HIV to any disease.

Well I'm not preaching to you l, I'm just correcting the erroneous statement you made that people with HIV cannot live long.
That's false and should be corrected.

Psoul:
You're the ignorant one here.
You said you've seen them for 20yrs.
So, 20yrs is the long life your talking about?
So if a patient of 20yrs gets the virus and live with it for another 20yrs and die, that's long life.

Oga, what is normal life when someone has to be drug dependent all the days of his life?

There's no normal life there.

Still displaying ignorance, the person in question is still alive and can live for another 30 years all things being equal, AIDS can't kill the person anymore as long as the person is on HAART.

If a thirty year old person lives with HIV for 50 years, is that not old age, life expectancy in Nigeria is not even up to 60.

Magic Johnson has been living with it for 33 years too.

Cure your ignorance HIV even takes up to 10 years to manifest without medication.

There are diseases that can kill you faster than HIV and people are using medication for them too for the rest of their life deal with it.

We are not saying you should go and get Infected because there's is medication for it but shit happens and if it does, there's remedy.

Bottom line is, HIV can't kill anymore with the medication on ground unless the individual doesn't know.

Talking about normal life, only can define what's normal to you because right now, there is an injection that can be given to patients every 3 months and that's it, no pill or anything.

So how is the patient not living a normal life.?

Psoul:
You've seen them live long...abi?
How old are you?
How old is the patient you know?
How long has the patient bn with the sickness?

That person you think is living a normal life is living in fear.

There's nothing normal about HIV patients

Lol you are truly ignorant, I work in a health facility and I have seen people on medication for more than 20 years.

If you can make further research, you'll find out that HIV 2 which is more prevalent in West Africa can go without symptoms for more than 20 years without medications and I'm not kidding.

In fact many people can be living with HIV 2 right now and they may never find out till they die.

elipheleh:
Good clarifying about the God masterplanning part. Settled.

For other parts, its true people can die from fire accident, diabetes, malaria etc.

Did you know avoiding HIV is one way less to die. If I can minimize ways I can possibly die, by all mean I will do it.

That is the point I am making.

Imagine if I can avoid just cancer, HIV & other STDs, diabetes, High & Low BP, malaria, typhoid, drinking and cultism. Do you know I have drastically increased my chances of long life?

And all these diseases I mentioned above have a lifestyle that can avoid them

I just want to let you know that you have no control over the manner and time you'll die unless you plan to commit suicide.

Let me shock you, majority of people that have HIV didn't even know how they got it, some got it as an infant, some got it through blood transfusion in those days and are still managing it till now, so how could they have known to avoid it.

Some men that swing both ways got it and gave to their wives unknowingly how could they have avoided it. You can never be too careful but if it happens, then you just have to manage it.

Like I said before fate happens, you just have to do your best and hope it's enough, you can't even do enough for cancer.

OVB123:
I heard from someone that he performed woefully in office but my question is this; why are the politicians in the state supporting him for second term?

Politicians are only after their own interest.
They align with who will help their pocket

ADC is a good opposition but they should do the best thing and give Obi ticket, he's the only one Agbadorians is afraid of.

Lol trust politicians at your own risk. Uzodimma is not straight forward

He doesn't have a serious opponent so he'll win. But good governance is far from him.

At least this one dey give back little from the one he is taking .

The way Nigerian government toy with health workers is appalling.

Small nyash dey shake o.
Mk Israel discover say una dey harbour terrorists first

Okoroawusa:
Nwokem answer question. Rapu cho cho cho

That's a senseless question so it doesn't require an answer.

Ttalk:
Oya show us as e day carry students go school na, abi that one too hard to do?

Lol what kind of stupid request is this, you can go to Anambra state and stand for road, you'll surely see them.

Okoroawusa:
Which routes do the buses run? Onitsha to Awka? Awka to Ekwulobia? Nnewi to Ihiala? Or exclusive around Awka? Where exactly? Amaikwo to Atrhu Eze Avenue? Temp site to Okpuno? Ifite to Eke Awka? ... where?...where? ...where?

So for your village, school buses are used for commercial transport, try dey get sense sometimes, no be everything be cho cho cho

Godfullsam:
even the north is very much overrated. this administration has been able to expose their weaknesses to a very large extent. they cant bully anyone with their massive votes

Lol
Tinubu win more than 5 million votes in the North, so in exposing them he should mk sure he has them behind him.

Ibrahimcoomasie:
In 2023, Tinubu did an uncommon thing. He picked votes everywhere except the SE. Atiku got the most support in the North. Atiku won the KKK states. Atiku won the northern votes. Tinubu just picked votes here and there. He would even get more votes in 2027.

Stop capping Tinubu won North and Obi won South. Right now, Tinubu can't win Obi in the South and if He loses Northern support, how does he want to win?

Godfullsam:
Several election results have shown that anyone can win an election without the south east.

If any region should be boasting of not voting for a candidate, it should not be the SE .
The SE votes in any election has little or not effect.
Buhari won twice without the SE votes, balablu won in 2023 without significant votes from SE

The SE can't threaten anyone with their votes.
In fact, those candidates that got massive votes from that region always lose election.

Nobody can win election with votes from one region alone. Buhari couldn't win with Northern votes alone, he had to join forces with South West to win.
Tinubu only won because of the support he got from the north with little support from South West.
The reason this OP is writing this epistle is because Tinubu has lost the Northern support and South West votes alone can't win him presidency, so he's seeking the collective Southern support.

That's dead on arrival because unlike Buhari that carried the three Northern regions along, Tinubu is only favouring the South West.

Creamypie:
we aren't kith and kin, so who wans to unite with who?

This matter is really giving you sleepless night, look at the time you are typing.

Heartache go kill you o when Anioma finally joins the south east. Lol

Lol see this one hustling for monetization. Hunger from Agbadoman his personal lord and saviour has finished him.

Oga better request for salary adjustment from Agbadoman because even Seun no see road, agbadonomics na joke to you?
