grid collapse two days ago when did you witness the 12 days uninterrupted light

when two days ago, I have been home since Saturday morning and there has been light .

LagosOrigin:
You're a lier..
How can your meter read when you're not around ?

Even big men put off appliances when they not around talk less of a factory worker like ya

Not everybody is poor like you , I have two deep freezers and a fridge . I buy things in bulk so I that I can save . I can go almost 3 months without buying fish meat chicken and pepper . I even had to switch my inverter to only solar . Some of us actually plan our lives . See freezer wey I off since yesterday night .

LagosOrigin:
What makes it different from Nigeria power supply?

Do you know that some places in Nigeria don't enjoy electricity for a week stretch ?

Shame supposed dey catch tinubu and his supporters in Nigeria comparing themselves with Ukraine that's at deadly war with Russia.

don't know where you live but they haven't taken our light for 12 days . I had to put off my freezer since yesterday because everything don freeze together. If the government is doing good let's applaud them if them dey do bad make we criticise them . On the light issue they have tried . Even my friend on band b/c gets light 12 hours a day . The light self too much , half of the time I'm not at home meter just dey read .

For your mind, you made sense. I no blame you sha

No blame me oo, I no fit make sense to person wey no get sinse, how ma-d man wan take understand normal people ?

Nigerian christians are under heavy attack in this discredited and disgraced Tinubu regime. As a Nigerian Christian, you are safer in Saudi Arabia, the spiritual home of Muslims, than in your own country Nigeria.

Muazu Shehu and Bala Ya’u are Nigerian Christians?

Obiedun:
It is not about whether Trump loves christians or not. For how long are we going to wait and allow these terrorists destroy the country? The government is powerless and helpless. Unfortunately some people are feeding fat on it. Those who you expect to speak against terrorism are not talking and even if they talk, they don't say anything serious. Trump should please come now. He is wasting time. And even you in all honesty,have you ever openly condemned terrorism here? Perhaps you are a Muslim and you think Trump is coming to fight the Muslims. But remember that it's when you are alive that you can practise your religion.

I agree with you that some people are feeding fat on Nigeria's present security challenges. These terrorists are being sponsored by internal forces and the internal forces are being sponsored by external forces. The weapons and military vehicles those terrorists used are obviously being shipped in , the weapons and supplies are obviously flown in by these external forces . Until we know who these external actors are we can't trust anyone. The friendly nation trying to lend a helping hand might actually be the ones sponsoring the terrorist. If they really want to help let them give Nigeria weapons and bombs to send these terrorist to the 400 virgins waiting for them. If they don't want to give us or sell the weapons and Bombs to us they should stay out .

Nairaland dey muss me at times . The way some Nigerians believe trump loves Nigeria Christians and is coming to save them out off the abundance of love in his heart is amusing. Na why politicians dey use Una head every 4 years , Johnathan use mr minority take chop Una eye , Buhari use mr integrity do us , tinubu use emilokan enter us , obi go use mr elenu sugar enter us sef . You all deserve the leaders you get , once they tell you what you want to hear , you all will follow sheepishly 🐑

haaa You think trump is mentally strong ? Haaa

IbomFinest:
My guy emotion apart..... Before the US would be overtaken by any other country, it's gonna take years... Maybe decades. Look at the influence of US in all other countries of the world. Apart from their currency, their AID program is unmatched. While China gives LOAN, US give AIDS. Between aid and loan who would you respect more? Their influence is unmatched at the moment my guy. Forget it.

True but also not true , since trump entered, the US has stopped giving aids to most countries. During Obama's presidency the US owned africa(by influence) but as of today China has way more influence over African than the US . I believe trump is probably a russia asset sent to take down the US . US bond sell off has been accelerating since the beginning of the week while trump is still trying his best to piss off nato and Europe as much as possible. You can't tell me he and his government are just clueless.

HarunaWest:
How can USA be isolated? Who will isolate the USA? A country where the whole world is forced to use their currency for transactions?. Trump has realized that the world needs USA more than USA needs the world.

really , the US is only as strong as it's currency but at the rate Trump is isolating the US , if he is not stopped or removed all US T-bills will be dumped , holders have started selling off us bonds since the beginning of the week and if the sell off continues to accelerates the US dollar will be equal to the naira eventually, everyone stops using the US dollar and start using the Chinese yen, pounds and euros as the US has isolated itself , China is the world's largest trading partner so it makes sense that the yen takes over from the dollar . The US goes into a depression that makes the Great Depression look like child's play . You might think it's impossible but world economics is not by having the strongest military.

Europe owns about $12 trillion in us assets and Trump's been threatening them , Imagine Lapo investing in your business but they are not interested in collecting the money anytime soon but you thinking you have arrived and you have plenty police escort go the lapo headquarters , start cursing them out , saying you will take their land . Na so trump and Europe matter be .

Antlisiam:
You are funny ehn, date wey don dey inside your Islamic calendar on when to commence your ramadan is what you are still waiting for moon to be sighted

oga just rest . Go find work do . This anti islam no go carry go anywhere .

Seeing all these comments is so sad , so much hate towards fellow Nigerians . How did we get here ? When did we get to this point where we can no longer tolerate each other's religions and tribes . Nigeria doesn't produce weapons who is arming all these terrorist/bandits? Where are they getting all these drones and advanced weapons that even the Nigeria military doesn't have ? All I see in Nigeria's present situation is that we are being divided in other to be conquer. Na the person/people wey wan conquer us we supposed dey find , that's the only way all this is going to stop. Who is benefiting the most from these killings ? Definitely not the terrorist as they are just pawns . We should be looking for those arming them. Nigerians please ask the right questions, save your country .

skywalker240:
Rest with that unreasonable unrealistic logic

It's stale

oga mr groundwalker . The fact that people like you think what I pointed out is an unreasonable unrealistic logic is part of the reason we are where we are as a nation. Blindingly following leaders , until when Nigeria starts dealing with issues the likes of Libya , iraq and Congo are dealing with because of US intervention that's when you all will understand that no nation will put the interest of another nation over there's. Nigerians will be the ones to have to fix Nigeria no other nation can help us fix our country. But what do I know you seem like the smart one .

They have realised that they can't get Greenland na to give Nigeria freedom in exchange of minerals. And some ignorant folks are hailing trump . When Nigeria turns to Congo you all will realise the enemy within better pass the enemy outside.

giftyechi:
who is killing them, christain or Muslim ❓

a human life is a human life no matter what they choose to believe in.

This is extremely bad stats . Statisense has lost it . Owning a bible in North Korea will get you executed, China has been raiding churches arresting the pastors and throwing them in detention camps . Over 14500Christians have died in the us due to gun violence but it's Nigeria that has the highest Christian killings . Where Una get Una stats from , can statisense provide the list /data of Christian's that have been killed. The constant narrative of Christian killings will backfire on us all. No be everything be politics . See what is happening in the north , Christians are being targeted and kidnapped because those useless bandits know the government will pay more for kidnapped Christians. Una go fit shout JESUS and die for your religion like those brain washed mufos shout allah uwarkba and die for their religion . No be by being best keyboard warrior:

The false narrative of Christians genocide has put the life of Christians in the northern part of Nigeria more at risk. These terrorist will start kidnapping more Christians for ransom because they know the government will pay more money to prevent the death of Christians. Make all the churches for north Jejely just pack comot .

chatinent:
One day the fire will consume the person igniting it.

oga na person inverter start the fire . It happened on Monday night and there were 3 other inverters on the top floor . There was no how they could stop it everybody had gone home .

Yankee101:
The fires destroying stores and markets in Lagos is becoming too much
I just hope it’s not a ploy to clear out Igbo traders
Even if you take their spot you can’t make their money if you don’t have the hustle
And it won’t stop Tinubu from losing elections again

peoples shops got burnt because of their own negligence but it is tinubu that caused it and it's a plot against the igbos. There are 11 shops on the top floor of that building, four of them have inverters. One of the inverters caught fire after the close of work on Monday definitely because of lack of ventilation but it's tinubu and Yoruba people that are trying to chase the Igbos out . Is it tinubu that installed inverter in a tiny shop with no ventilation?

BlocksNG:
Tinubu the narcotic has been disrespecting monarchs since the days of Pharaoh, somebody in his 90s. Agbaya.

which one of them is in his 90's , the Oba or Tinubu's aide ? .

Bwilliam:
The way una dey think too no be am.
China was colonized by the same people that colonized Nigeria. How is it that they became more developed and are now almost seeking to colonize the country/continent?
If you don't know why it's bad that a country has to resort to exchanging oil for infrastructure, then you shouldn't have quoted me because it's obvious you don't know anything about economics.

Yet you no nothing about history .China used to be one of the most fundamental centres of worldwide economic system during the 1700s, you had a affluent financial system, a flourishing Ch'ing empire, and a moderately oppressed individuals under them. There was no manner that Europe could compete with them on any financial ground . Yet they did , by holding them at gun point . So no, they never fully colonized China, but mostly because they didn't have to China was already a great empire.They basically held the country/empire at gunpoint and forced them to do everything they wanted.

BigCowHornn:
The United States, my country of birth, will never buy stolen property.

But if you let America put boots on the ground one way or the other you will pay for it.

All those countries you mentioned now they had advance warning from Saddam Hussein to colonel gandafi

If you go harboring, sponsoring and training terrorists the US and his alleys will come for you one way or the other and you will pay. It is the oldest rule of war


No let's talk about Venezuela which is the most modern incident

I hope you know United State had large stakes venzuelan oil. Exactly the same way that mobil and Chevron how large stakes in Nigerian oil.

That oil is not free and they have pay the Nigerian government billions for it

Venezuela nationalized those stakes without compensation. The world called ruled in favor of those American companies but Venezuela refused to pay.

Previous US government have sanctioned Venezuela for this which was one reason Venezuela has struggle to find buyers for its oil for decades

But then a new angle came out.. the drugs

Sanctions and putting the virtual president on the wanted most list of the FBI has been the reaction of past governments of the United States. Even with Joe Biden had a 25 million bounty on that bank's head

Donald Trump just took action


All of you will cry and point fingers but it is what it is



As for the rare metals I don't know putin and his idle talk but like I said and you now agree... President Trump did offer Russia America's rare earth metals and that offer wouldn't come if the United States had none of lacked enough


I don't know what the rest of the world is being told but there is enough oil and rere metals in the United States to last those for many decades. Alaska alone seeds on a lot of oil metals and we have not mentioned talking about Texas a state that is nearly larger than Nigeria

The problem we have in the United States is not the raw materials or how to extract them it is environmental freaks and rights groups and their lawsuits

It is technically cheaper to get these things outside

all those country had advance warning , the us invaded Libya to rescue civilians from Gandafi but instead stole their gold , oil and future, they invaded Iraq to stop the weapon of mass destruction but never found any instead they helped themselves to iraqs Gold ,oil and destroyed their future . Is that normal to you? The world is beginning to see the US for what it truly is , a rouge nation and a threat to world peace. Now the US is going after its allies. There's a new world order taking shape and your "birth country " is not at the top .

BigCowHornn:
Never never did Russia offer usA access to Ukraine rare earth metals

Never never will the USA buy stolen property without a serious reaction from its people and courts.

Besides not really doing is next right now. It is grapling with Harvey sanctions that is also affecting the banking industry

But read this ...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025/08/13/trump-to-present-minerals-deal-to-putin-in-alaska/


I didn't write it
Like I said it is all over the Internet. That is the first article I saw when i Googled the issue

putin offered trump minerals in February 2025 then trump offered a counter deal in August 2025.
https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gdx7488g5o&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjko_6P-JOSAxW2VUEAHbirC7QQFnoECAMQAg&usg=AOvVaw2JglbEnF7iW8bVBGuEv4vP

US will never buy stolen property but can steal Libya's Gold and oil , they did the same in Iraq and now in Venezuela. ABEg under which rock you dey live ?

BigCowHornn:
United States has all those especially in Alaska and Texas

You are correct about China being more advanced in manufacturing. But we are not talking about advance .

You're talking about self-sufficiency. The USA is ok they just did a lot more

And yes you are correct again about Greenland having rare metals but remember the US already got that from Ukraine Alaska which Donald Trump himself recently offer to Putin so as to end the war. It was all over the news you can Google it

the U.S. has just 1.9 million tonnes of rare earths and is highly dependent on China for imports of these elements.
https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.statista.com/chart/33754/countries-with-the-greatest-known-reserves-of-rare-earths/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwj14sLs2ZOSAxWYZ0EAHYDJAp4QFnoECAIQAw&usg=AOvVaw1dGAhLvts_bK_m6T8PImZn

China recently stopped export of rare earths to the US that's why trump is trying to steal Greenland.
Also US hasn't started getting minerals from Ukraine as Russia captured more than 5600 sq km of Ukrainian territory in 2025 which is half the size of New York and its holds some of the rare earths Ukraine already promised the US. And it was putin who offered to sell the rare earths to Trump . Google is your friend my brother

SeeWahala:
Just imagine what Nigeria missed due to tribalism and ethnicity in voting for their leadership

NEVER AGAIN!

I would rather sowore be president than obi , I know people like obi , them go dey form innocent but once they get what they want them go show you shege. I see through all he's BS. Nigerians dodged a big bullet .

Bwilliam:
China sprung a debt trap on Venezuela and that's why Venezuela had to pay them with oil.
Trump has now seized Venezuela oil resources, and now the dragon has turned its sights on Nigeria.

the way Una dey think ehn , when did it become a bad thing to exchange oil from infrastructure, how's that debt . This blind love for the US no be am .

bestman09:
Oil that china will buy without any payment due to Nigerian debts

No use this your brain cross road oooo

BigCowHornn:
Some countries are slow self-sufficient that even if you slap 1,000 sanctiond on them they will still breathe

Russia is one... The most self-sufficient

Iran to some extent is another

The United States is the third

From oil to food and natural resources the all have it at home in abundance...

But they have something extra... A verse population other countries want to sell things to. The market of the United States China India and Russia remains the biggest in the world


Do you know that States is the eu and the UK's biggest market. Be patient and observe

you are wrong about the US . The US was once self sufficient but presently they have lost its manufacturing advantage to China , China is now more technologically advanced than the US . Also the only reason they want Greenland is because of the rare earth minerals it has . The world is shifting from oil to rare earth minerals. In the old world order who ever controlled the oil controlled the world but in the new world order who ever controls the rare earth minerals controls the world . Presently China has and controls majority of the worlds rare earth minerals . The US doesn't have enough rare earth all they have is oil that's why they are so interested in Greenland and Africa . They will need to steal rare earth minerals from weaker nations to catch up to China .
