InyinyaAgbaOku:
They have transformer issues

Nothing of such was mentioned in the report.

What the artisans complained about were:
1. The bill

2. Lack of supply.

And not Transformer.

Like Omehia, like Wike.

explorer250:
pls there is no chest beating in this. What i posted is nothing but the pure truth. I personally know that the georges and azikiwe axis is the most developed area of aba with constant power supply. Even the fmr gov have a mansion there. Maybe the had transformer problem then because as we speek azikwe have light

I am not antagonising you or going against your personal experience.

I only posted the event that occurred yesterday, where citizens of Aba are protesting over exorbitant bills and lack of electricity supply, as reported by Vanguard.

The fear of Buhari, is the beginning of "brain" for saTANoids and their stup1d and absurd policies.

explorer250:
abeg i live around those mentioned areas. The traders are ironically complaining about high bills not poor power supply.
There are a lot of private power plants in aba especially alaoji area around old ph express road

Can you read very well or do you need glasses?

Why do you chest beaters like deceiving yourselves.

The daily reported that artisans were complaining of high electricity bills and lack of supply of electricity and you are here picking the one that will give you false sense of satisfaction.

Who is deceiving who?

Artisans in Aba, Abia State have protested against high electricity bills and poor electricity supply by the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company, EEDC. The artisans who marched along major roads in Aba including the Azikiwe, Market and Tenant, Mosque, Kent and Georges streets, chanting slogans and denouncing the poor services allegedly provided by the EEDC.

The artisans who were also, shop owners carried placards which read; “No power, no payment,” “Let EEDC save our businesses, give us light and electricity is a vital tool to our work,” among others.

In an interview with South East Voice, the leader of the protesting artisans, Elder Festus Njoku said they were unhappy over the high tariff charged by EEDC even when there was little or no supply of power coupled with lack of maintenance of electricity facilities.
“For example, we have been on load shedding for more than three days now. We are not sure of the one day supply of electricity in a week. We are being charged high and estimated electricity bills even in areas that have not had light for more than two months. We pay for what we do not consume.

“Most of us are tailors, hairdressers, furniture makers. Before now, we paid around N5, 000 for electricity, but we are being charged between N24,000 and 30,000 monthly per shop even when power is not supplied. In our houses, we pay N10, 000 and you are not even sure of the electricity supply. We now use generators, since EEDC does not give us power. How can we survive under this type of harsh condition?” Njoku asked

They then urged the EEDC to improve on its billing system as well as stop issuing estimated bills and charge consumers for the energy they consumed monthly. “They can even stop their electricity supply since we now rely on generators to operate. We have petitioned the EEDC Aba, but they have not said anything,” Njoku added.

When South East Voice visited the business office of the EEDC on Ikot Ekpene road, a senior official of the company, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that the problems of consumers in Aba and other areas in the district were being addressed.

TODAY'S VANGUARD

MOVEMENT for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, yesterday, described the Federal Government’s amnesty programme for ex-militants as a jamboree meant for criminals in need of pardon.

MEND, through its spokesman, Jomo Gbomo, while congratulating President Mohammadu Buhari on his swearing-in as President, lampooned those calling for the sustenance of the amnesty programme saying: “We have always noted that the amnesty programme was a jamboree meant to address demands of people who accepted they were criminals in need of pardon.

“The programme does not address the real reasons genuine agitators went into the struggle for the emancipation of the Niger Delta.
“Our struggle for fairer share of oil proceeds for the development of the Niger Delta and the overall betterment of the country, is based on principle such that any person with a sense of decency such as President Buhari, can rise up to handle.”

Reiterating its support for President Buhari, it warned stakeholders in the region against distracting him saying, “While we respect the rights of any group to decent agitation, we warn those whose sole aim is to distract Buhari from focusing on the task ahead as he needs time to clear the pile of corruption, underdevelopment and advance equity in the Nigerian federation.”

That will be the end of allocation to Rivers State, until he comes back to his senses, by divorcing his patience jonathan senses.

Which of the court is Biafra in?

Has Bayelsa State Govt communicated its decision to FG? Waste of public funds.

OkutaNla:
Ah! After what happened to Ojukwu the last time anyone tried that, I'd be scared too if I were in their shoes. All these people are just jokers. Until their elite start agitating for secession, I won't take them seriously. As it stands these mushroom movements are being driven by touts.

Word.

Who led the secession struggle of Scotland? Their leaders and politicians.

Who are the people leading session in Nigeria? Touts and E-Warriors and E-Sessionists.

Spot the difference.

His Commissioner for Finance finished his government.

Demand?



Who are they demanding the Republic from? Can't they just gather themselves together and declare the Republic?

Another clownish group on the horizon.

MCMLXXVI:
Like I said, Mr Man, carry on with your self deceit and grand foolishness
I will come back in a year's time to dig out this thread and ask you how far...

Ciao.

Mr Man, in a year to this time, you shall see that your daftness is legendary.

I will exhume this thread for you.

Till then, enjoy.

MCMLXXVI:
Nope. It is the part about you gullible little lambs genuflecting over a white elephant ghost project not realizing you were getting raaped economically. The stupidity of ignorance.
At least the SE people understand that there is a problem, which is why they constantly attack TA Orji and Rochas on these boards. But in your case, you dumbasses are ready to stake your lives in the name of defending your corrupt, semi-literate, pseudo-intellectuals you call governors!
See the way you mumus were dancing over this CLEAR white elephant project without asking the necessary questions on how a predominantly subsistent agrarian state plans to fund this shipwreck without going down under!
Until Aregbe's asss was exposed when fuel prices crashed, anybody for realize say Osun state is nothing but an insolvent geographic expression depending on Niger Delta oil to survive? No! You delusional pieces of turds would have still been here lying to yourselves that Osun State was Nigeria's "7th largest economy", and how it had the 4th largest IGR (clowns). So Osun no even fit pay salaries? Shame!!!

The worst form of deceit is self deceit. Enjoy your self imposed JJC-ism.

You are very funny.

All the roads Aregbe has done in Osun State is more than all your motorable roads in Alaigbo.

On the idea of an airport, though I was not in support, but it takes leadership to and vision to put up a project that will be beneficial to generations yet unborn. The same airport will have Abuja flight as a regular route. Same will be used to airlift pilgrims to hajj or jerusalem, rather than going to Ilorin or Lagos, same will be used to air lift agricultural products to Europe directly, rather than packaging them and sending them to Lagos. Most especially perishable products and cash crops such as kolanut.

Work began on bit and it has stopped for now and it shall be completed when the economy improves.

It is better than an imaginary 2NB that does not even have a pole to show or the phantom Ochendo International Market that was a thick forest.

BuddahMonk:
I thought the economy of Oshunistan is bigger than those of RussoBraChina combine

Naaaaaa

Not as big as that. But bigger than the cursed landlocked and gully eroded land of Biafra.
