Carrington served as the U.S. Ambassador to Senegal from 1980 to 1981. He was appointed by U.S. President Bill Clinton in 1993 as the U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, where he remained until 1997.[5] His ties to Nigeria were deep; he had married into a Nigerian family[6] and had lived in three Nigerian cities since the late 1960s.[7]


This man served as the U.S. ambassador to Nigeria till 1997.

Saro Wiwa died in 1995. So when did the U.S. close their embassy in Nigeria?

Not all roads are under the state government

Federal government fixes federal roads

State government fixes state government road

Local government fixes local government roads
State Government do fix Federal roads and get reimbursed sometimes. This is Calabar Itu road in Akwa Ibom was done by Akpabio and the state was later reimbursed. It was a nightmare before..

Nigerians should switch to CNG and LPG vehicles. Good thing that Innoson vehicles have start mass production of such vehicles.
Change,they say,is constant in life.Back in the days,there was a period we were heavily reliant on kerosene to do our cooking.Now,how many household make use of kerosene?A large number of household in Nigeria now make use of gas for their cooking.Nigerians should adapt likewise.

Who will pay for it. How come anything that has to do with inefficiency is always pushed to the citizens in Nigeria then govt spin doctors like you are sent to browbeat the people into silence.
I hope you're aware countries like UK, US, Canada, Germany have universities that are actually tuition free for their citizens. So stop all the cappings
How much tax do they pay in comparison to you. In the real sense nothing is actually free, someone somewhere is paying for it

You seem to be quite slow in your thinking. So let me help you. Stop comparing us that our minimum wage is 30k to the U.S where they can easily access student loans and easily get jobs and where the pay is far higher than ours. If you keep on with this narrative of " Abroad schools are expensive" you'll make your parents tht sent you to school look foolish.
Then people should stop insulting Nigerian universities and comparing them to their American counterparts

Control that which you can control. You really are not helpless.

Only use low energy 5watt or not more than 10 watt bulbs.

When you buy fridges and /or freezer check for low energy usage or those with inverter. Same for AC. Be intentional about everything you do and you will see that things are manageable.

There is a lot of wastage in the use of electricity.

And electricity tariffs need to increase, the way we use energy in Nigeria is too wasteful.
Other part of the word are into energy conversation and clean energy for a sustainable climate.
Here in Nigeria, people don’t have maintenance and conservation culture, they will switch on electrical appliances when not in use and switch on lights even during the day. We need to learn
True, it will reach 10am and security lights are still on,

Politics › 10th Senate Leadership: Over 70 Senators In Support For Godswill Akp by ubox(op): 7:39pm On Jun 11, 2023
The aspirations of Senators Godswill Akpabio and Jibrin Barau, for the office the President of the Senate and Deputy President of the Senate on Saturday, inched towards its actualization with further endorsement of the duo by the Presidency led by Vice president Kashim Shettima.

Speaking at the Dinner organized for supporters of the Akpabio-Barau ticket, by the Stability Group, led by former Governor of Ebonyi State and Senator-elect Dave Umahi, Vice president Shettima, for the umpteenth time reiterated the commitment and strong support of President Bola Tinubu and the National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) to the candidature of Senators Akpabio and Barau for the leadership of the 10th Senate.

According to him, "we are all in support of the emergence of Senators Akpabio and Barau as President of the 10th Senate and Deputy respectively. This support is intended to further engender unity and stability of the country."

The Dinner which held at the Transcorp Hotel in Abuja, had in attendance majority of Senators-elect across party lines, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume and Alhaji Kashim Imam, among numerous others.

Vice president Shettima stated further that
‘’apart from the religious angle, Senator Akpabio is very competent and he has the capacity to lead the 10th National Assembly. At the same time, he is from a very important zone and he is also a man of Christian faith. So, in line with the Constitution of our country and in conformity with the plurality of our union, the party and indeed, the President, thought it fit to support him’’

As a practical demonstration of what should be done to cement the country together as one indivisible entity, Shettima said, ‘’personally, my Chief Security Officer (CSO) is an Igbo man, who had worked with me when I was governor. He has been a dedicated and loyal officer, even in the heat of the Boko Haram attacks in Borno.

"My ADC is a Christian from the North, who has been with me for a very long time. When I appointed him, they said he is too junior by rank to be my ADC, but I insisted and even told them to make him my acting ADC pending when he would be promoted to the rank, he stressed".

The Vice President assured the Senators- elect of his readiness to continue to work for the success and aspirations of the group by talking to those who were yet to join the group which he described as the "winning team".

" I have been campaigning privately for Senators Akpabio and Barau and I will continue to do that till we diliver them on Tuesday. I will be leaving this dinner for another meeting with some senators who are yet to register their support", he disclosed.

In his short speech at the well attended dinner, the chairman of the of the Stability Group, Dave Umahi, thanked the vice president and the SGF for finding time, out of their very tight schedules to visit and solidarise with the Group, assuring them of the readiness of the Senators-elect to work for Nigerians and support the Renewed Hope agenda of the President for the benefit of Nigerians.

In his remarks the SGF disclosed that even before his appointment as the SGF, he was already drumming support for the Akpabio-Barau ticket. He described the Stability Group as where to be, because the Tinubu-led administration needs all forms of support to kick-off on a very sound note.

Speaking at the event, the preferred candidates of the party, Senators Akpabio and Barau, were short of the appropriate words to use in expressing their happiness for the support their aspirations have garnered from their colleagues, when their endorsement was made public by the president and the leadership of the party.
