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.

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

Politics10th 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.

PoliticsRe: Atiku Cautions Against Rubberstamp NASS, Faults Tinubu On Subsidy Removal by ubox: 10:12am On Jun 08, 2023
Savedday2:
Of what use is subsidy removal when we know that few individuals will still loot the money?

As far as am concerned, subsidy is the only thing the common man is benefiting from the government.

Buhari increased the price of fuel he didn't use the money to do anything instead, he borrowed more money for looting.

Make them leave our subsidy for us!
Looks like you don't understand the whole subsidy issue, there's no more anywhere to me looted. Instead the country stops borrowing to pay that. Now if they want to borrow, they can borrow for productive things that can pay back their loans. Subsidy is like borrowing money to do wedding

You still reply with same statement that made me question your intelligence.

As a trader or business person, you buy goods or invest with what you have. If you don't have enough, you borrow from bank or other sources.

Let me break it down to a lay man understanding, if 10 units of your current stock is 5m, but due to the increment in price of new stock, your money is not enough to buy same 10 units, the right thing to do is to buy whatever units your money can complete or take a loan to meet up. Your inability to buy 10 units with same amount is not a lose but increment in business capital.

You don't dupe people by increasing the price of old stock to meet up with new stock, because that is not the real value of what you bought.

As a business man, I've been passing through the same process since around 2017. You will stock 100 pieces today, and the same amount spent on 100 pieces won't be enough to get 80 pieces. This dont cause a lost but increment in business capital.
If it's a situation the price of pump, reduced from 200 to let's say#50, you'll see how they'll move like snail to adjust the pump price
