With 250k, you should look out brands other than these three you mentioned. Because for the big brands, you have to go for their premium segments to reap the benefits. Check the likes of Xiaomi, Tecno, Huawei etc

The railways are not doing well. Abuja to Kaduna runs only two trips despite the high demand. Seasonal subsidies isn't a bad idea but longevity of the service should be paramount

Science/Technology › Re: Renewable Energy: Adamawa & Kaduna Solar Mini-Grids To Electrify 33,000 Homes by U09ce: 12:14pm On May 18

Brendaniel:
Lots of questions are just going through my head on these solar projects embarked by the FG:

1. How sustainable is this in the long run when more houses are being built and the capacity is not able to cover the consumption?

2. We all know that currently, anyone using solar must most likely have to be calculative on balancing use with available power supply, are these villages in the know and would they practice it?

3. Are these villages billed for the consumption or is it free, and if it is free, how sustainable would it be in the long run in terms of maintenance?

4. Did they factor in the future that electricity distribution companies might also come and want to electricity the place and take over the structure in place, would there be resistance from these communities? And if there is resistance would it not cause conflict?

5, If the FG did not factor in all these questions above and provide solutions to them, why embark on spending billions that could have been used to improve power generation and distribution that will still get to these villages?

These are just questions I am asking, I'm more concerned about the reliability, cost, sustainability and future effects..

These are salient questions begging for answers. Another critical aspect is the operations and maintenance. Does the REA does that directly or they get contractors? And how do they pay them?

What section of the road is that? How many Km has been constructed so far and how many Km left? What's the estimated duration of the project? I believe that's what people should be more interested in knowing instead of showing videos of a road that's not up to 5km

My thoughts exactly. This particular road is estimated to be at least 1000km long and it's of little or no use until it connects Sokoto to Lagos. Judging from the videos I have seen so far, I don't think they've paved up to 5km. 5/1000=0.005% in more than 2 years. A similar scenario is playing out with the Calabar end of the coastal road. Unlike the Lagos end where almost 50km is done and motorable, I'm yet to see a video proving that up to 10km has been done. As far as I am concerned, the Sokoto-Badagry is a waste of resources because there are far more economically critical roads in the north deserving attention.

Culture › Re: Are Traditional Rulers Still Relevant To You As A Nigerian? by U09ce: 10:11pm On May 05

Yes. They are even more important than the politicians. People trust them the more because they know they are with them most of the times. Unlike politicians, it's easy to access and lodge complaints with traditional rulers. Despite not having any constitutional role, they have influence on policies. Another advantage is that they have representation everywhere within their constituency. At least in the north I know that the hierarchy is structured from the emir down to the ward head. It's just that we were deceived to embrace democracy and jettison something that's working

Islam is a divine religion which equips its followers with a fine balance of their spiritual and physical requirements. It has been tested and trusted over centuries and it remains the bastion of morality in today's world. I can guide you if you have specific issues you want to know more about. Thanks

• The approval is expected to ease financial pressure on airlines grappling with rising operational costs.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/874284-tinubu-approves-30-discount-on-airlines-debt-to-aviation-agencies.html

Anything about aviation is usually prioritised. It won't be surprising if they even get 70% discount. If this fuel crisis was happening in the road transport sector, all you'd hear is 'market forces' and 'subsidy is gone forever' 'subsidy is bad for the economy'. But the aviation sector affects ALL elites, they'd always find their way.

Tinubu may forgets that the north wasn't unanimous in voting him in, because many did not believe in his muslim muslim scam. A big reason he lost the KKK states. Now that he has shown that he's even worse than people expected, the majority percentage of those who voted him have realised their mistake. The ones who didn't aren't convinced. So it's a double whammy

Politics › Re: Deji Adeyanju:Nigerians Don't Even Want 24 Hrs Electricity.Can They Afford It? by U09ce: 12:13pm On Apr 28

Yes. If all Nigerians will have access to 24/7 Band A light, more than 80% can't afford it. It'd shock you know that even some of these big Abuja politicians bypass their meters. How can you have a minimum wage of 70k and expect people to even pay 100 naira per kwh not to talk of 200 for Band A? I think the government was just in a rush to privatize the sector and so far little or no improvement

You should be ashamed of yourself. This particular man, Rev Mathew Kukah, together with, Gani Fawehinmi, Fela Anikulapo-Kuta, Beko Ransom-Kuti, YIinka Odumakin, Wole Soyinka, Bola Tinubu, Festus Keyamo, Femi Falana, and others fought the government for your grandparents to live, they fought the government for your parents to live, they fought the government for you to live; now you still want these men who are between 70 and 100 years and those in the grave to fight for your children? You even want Bola Tinubu to help you lead a protest against his own government. You have no shame. Get up from your lazy slumber and fight for your children and children’s children

LOL. You must be living in a different world. What Tinubu and Keyamo were fighting against, are they not doing worst off? They should have stuck to their democratic activism just like Falana

Politics › Re: No Major Power Plant Financed Since 2015 — Nnaji by U09ce: 8:23am On Apr 28

The major pain point with the power sector is transmission which is not capable of wheeling the power generated. Another big issue is the liquidity. Many customers are not able to pay for power because they are billed unequitably. Discos don't get enough to pay back for what they receive. Generation companies do not receive enough from Discos to pay for their costs and invest more. Gas producers don't receive enough, and they sometimes seize to sell to the gencos. It's terrible cycle

Politics › Re: Stop Addressing Me As Hausa Man, Kukah Tells Nigerians by U09ce: 11:04pm On Apr 27

Yes. Pls stop addressing him as such. The Hausas don't want someone like him to be associated with them. Someone who suddenly lost his 'activist' voice after Tinubu silenced him with an appointment. Someone who's part of those who cooked the genocide story and now turn around to deny it. What a man full of double standards

Next time we hear about those FEC contract awards, ask whether there is a financing backing the project till its completion. If not, na audio
