nairalanda1:
So recently, Peter Obi made a comment that he was going to improve our power supply by 10000mw, which would take us up to 32000 mw...which should be enough for us to get light 24/7 (subject to the Siemens project working)...and the response was tinubu supporters making fun of Obi as a man without ideas, while Obi supporters praised their man as being wisdom incarnante.

Except that Obi did not tell us how he plans to do it.

Which essentially begs the question, how do we vote for a guy who promises us something, but does not tell us how to do it.

Which leads me back to Tinubu. IN 2023, tinubu said...if you vote me and I do not give you constant power supply, vote me out in 2027.

Naturally tinubu supporters were praising their man as being a tough minded leader, etc, etc....while Obi people are now calling in the receipts. Man has not done as promised so he should be kicked out.


Which leads me to my point.

Tinubu and obi never/have not told Nigerians how they intend to improve power supply.


The truth of the matter is, we have a plan, laid out by the experts, about power supply. A decent , strong plan....cost reflective tarrifs, ending power theft, and rolling out metering.

But neither tinubu nor obi, nor even atiku or any potential candidate would mention that because it does not win votes. (Sowore would probably announce a plan to give 24 hour light a day at N1 per kwh).


Nigerians , regardless of political party, like hearing populist language. If a leader came into office and started doing the things the experts have said we should do, he would be voted out. Or chased out. You will see the Fulani herdsmen marching with the Igbo farmer, the Yoruba trader marching with his Hausa counterpart, and there would be riots.


And the leader would be voted out.

That is why whoever takes office, won't be allowed to improve power because Nigerians think that electricity should be free of charge.

When in reality, it is not possible.

Electricity costs money. If you won;t pay for it in cost reflective tarrif, you will pay for it in generator and inverter monies. That is what Band A taught us.

And on that Band A, the idea of tinubu was not original. India has a similar system, present for decades, that commercial and industrial properties would pay a cost reflective tarrif and the profits would be used to pay for subsidising the poor farmers and rural people

And after doing that, has power supply in India improved? (No.).

Infact India is planning to make everyone pay cost reflective tarrfs in five years time.


SO, if it didn't work in India, how e go work in NIgeria?

The only way we can get free power is to take massive loans totalling nearly 2/3rd of our budgets for the next ten or more years...and while it may give us enough light, it would also put us in heavy debt for it.


In 2025, Prof Barth Nnaji, who is definetly not a Tinubu supporter put it well



SAUCE : LEADERSHIP NEWSPAPER


I have been saying the above for years, but people here abuse me, so I may as well quote the actual expert, who is a qualified engineer, a former ministar of power, and an owner of a GENCO.

And he is not the first or the last to state that this needs to be done. PwC have said it, several experts have been saying it, a BBC report said it, and so forth.

Yet, Nigerians and their candidates choose to believe the fiction of corruption or some evil Western zionist overmind does not want to give us light.

It is easier to believe conspiracy theory fiction

Like NIgerians, like candidates.


Good afternoon.

I expcet to be abused and to be told about other countries that somehow magically give free power(the macs won't add that those countries pay for it with heavy taxes, or heavy debt).

*Abia state proves that your article is coming from a place of ignorance. Get the right people in place, watch the monstrosity melt like candle.

Are there no laws to put this menace to an end or are the lawmakers scared of getting caught up in this mess?

Begging Atiku for house rent is no longer a favour right? Entitlement mentality breathing.

This community utility pipe is still talking. Bakassi crew did in 3 months what the clueless guy in command could not do even after 3+years in office?
Adam’s for your info, your seat will be sacrificed. Your plan to fight everyone post 2027 months election is well documented.
This public resource will be the first to jump ship.

Whoever paps the piper like they say…

Vinny and Hakimi seem to have their own match going on concomitantly.
This version of Raphinga is the one that arrived Leeds newly. He needs to reboot in the 2nd half to his Baca version.
Intense but not so great 1st half for both teams.

Retroactive superior Balon d’or should be sent to him before the end of the year. Choose any year you like and do the needful!

Some mofos demonstrating poor knowledge of English language! He is simply saying that stakeholder engagement will be a key feature of his administration.
When you involve the people, you will know what their problems are and that will help you allocate scarce resources properly.
You won’t wake up and make changing your national anthem a priority when security, poverty and international relations are in ruins.
Tinubu promised simple light , ended up constructing road to God knows where but increased pump price of fuel. Since he has failed to deliver, should he be made to resign?

Total votes= 40% northern votes + 3%Southern votes + 6% Western votes

You ask them to cease fire then you strike. This is opprobrious act is associated with psychopathic bullies only.

IronGalaxy:
Yes, we lost.. but what has changed for you?
Has your electricity start working 24/7
Has the insurgency stopped?

Im the one who will go to bed with a heater on

No wonder SA got 2 red cards in their first game. A new record in FIFA history. SA as a country is synonymous with animosity.
Xenophobia =Anger issue

Obi ignore him. You are giving home relevance.

If in June 2026, you still cannot tell when an image is generated using AI, you need help.
There are 3 AI signatures that you can pick up from the picture, can you see it?

Same pattern. When Buhari was misbehaving, they sang his praise, when he died, they cursed him.
Tinubu’s truth will be unveiled soon

So a market will be closed because of one deluded individual that has chosen to alienate himself from his people.

Ain’t Nigeria a joke? This is the same guy scheming to become the senate president.

Napal2.0

Does Wike understand governance? They only focus on rehabilitating roads at inflated prices for their personal gain.
It will get to them soon.

Mosque, no longer safe.
Churches, no longer safe.
Schools no longer safe for our kids.
Roads no longer safe.
Let this guy just pack go!

Who paid Tinubu to betray Nigerians? Obi’s victory is already felt by these guys.

Ttalk:
Makinde should stop all these eye service, he should go and provide security in all public schools in Oyo, ordinary school fence you can't do and you want to become president.

If he didn’t go your type will start spewing shii.
Also remind Remi the tourist and Tinubu her clueless husband to beef up security in Nigeria. Commander in chief is not about standing standing like a fermented smoked fish

Adam’s food is ready ooo! Hurry up before a footballer or basketball player grabs her.

OAFMods:
Who is Ahmed Galadimka ? Hx

He was the guy running PTDF like forever. If you know you know.

How can this woman be so shameless to continue this campaign that will lead to defeat.
Mothers and children were kidnapped and this is the best you can do Remi?

Daniel Bwala, continue chatting shii like this bro.
Problem solved one mofo at a time.
Good job guys!

Being emotional and cussing is not making things any better. Internet can be brutal and your HR these days dig deep.
A simple clear mind over just one weekend will give you solid 3 options to pursue.ALL the information you need is out there.
This is why APC must go! Nigerians deserve better.

Let’s pretend as if we don’t know that APC miles and apprentice moles were kicked out to ALLOW the “biggest bags” knock out incumbent incompetents!
By the way, take a look at the APC ruling party that cannot secure the lives of innocent Nigerians, yet they want to rule Nigeria again.
If abomination was a political party, APC epitomizes it perfectly.

In serious climes, the INEC chair would have stepped down next day!

onehope:
He is a thief and knows nothing about leadership and nation building.

It is very unfortunate.

And yet the retard claims to be an educated profession. Imagine the flagrant display of illegality!
How much did he pay for his campaign? 2031 will be interesting.
