Honestly, this is not life. How can one be living in the 21st century and no electricity to work, to pump water, to iron clothes for work into the new week?

Honestly this is crazy. Going to the fuel station to get fuel and see 1 Litre going for 1055 Naira, is this government not deserving of all the curses of Prophet Mohammad?

We have to buy fuel so that we and our children can sleep at night in this hot weather....

The pain in my heart buying fuel at that cost, and tomorrow now transport costs will increase from mainland to Island, and vice versa...

May the pain of the citizens be bestowed upon the government frauds of PBAT government return unto them... May the curse of Allah Bismallah follow them, and unto anybody waiting for Raining season to come and claim electricity has improved....

outshaAllah

jamafa:
You b confirm Olodo

This is not fault of government

And if the price of petrol goes up because of that, isn't Nigeria supposed to be making more money to cushion the effect on the citizens?

Brendaniel:
Then it is your fault, I think you are referring to yourself with your entire write up...

Walahi…God really bless this woman with beauty

festacman:
Look, meeting a beautiful lady for the time sparks something in any man's heart and leads to pretty lady privileges.

However, one beautiful lady actually confessed that one burden she bears as a beautiful lady is that most men desire you and indeed few with quantum of resource wouldn't allow you to rest until you fall. They won't spare any expense until they tick you as a trophy won in their 'debauchery cabinet'.

just leave them....d war in Iran n Israel should be our advantage....oil is now sought for by other countries....we should now export it at d high prices and sell to Nigerians at moderate prices....

The federal government should sell criide to Nigeria refineries at $45 per barrel to support local consumption

chopnaira:
To those supporting trump and isreal bombing of one of the highest crude oil producers in tje world, what did you expect? Are Nigerians that dvmb to think it won't affect them?

Abroad too, oil price has jumped up massively and the country I am in has more crude oil snd refinery than Nigeria.

yinkus6750:
The recent increase is base on high cost of crude in the international market due to the ongoing war in Iran, that is seriously affecting the Middle East.
It obviously will affect Nigeria cos price of crude to Dangote refinery must be in tune with international market price.
Same affects cost of importation.
Still likely to go higher in the days ahead.

Nigeria has launched an ambitious $750 million renewable electrification programme aimed at expanding electricity access through solar mini-grids and off-grid power systems, a move officials say could unlock over $1.1 billion in private investment and reshape the country’s energy landscape.


Nigeria has unveiled a $750 million renewable electrification initiative targeting 1,350 solar mini-grids nationwide, including 250 that will connect to the national grid.

The programme is expected to mobilise $1.1 billion in private-sector funding and improve access to power for underserved communities.

Large-scale solar projects under the Energising Education Programme are providing electricity to universities and teaching hospitals.

Government agencies and public institutions are also benefiting from the National Public Sector Solarisation Initiative, which reduces reliance on costly generators.

The initiative, being implemented by the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), is expected to deploy 1,350 solar mini-grids nationwide, including 250 interconnected systems that will feed power directly into Nigeria’s national grid.

Speaking in Abuja during a visit by a delegation from the National Judicial Institute, REA Managing Director Abba Aliyu described the programme as a landmark intervention in Nigeria’s decades-long struggle with electricity shortages.

“For the first time, we are witnessing the implementation of the biggest publicly funded renewable electricity project in the entire world. It is a $750 million project that will catalyse $1.1 billion in private sector funding to deploy 1,350 mini-grids across the country,” Aliyu said.

Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, continues to face persistent power supply challenges despite decades of reforms and investments in the electricity sector. Millions of households and businesses rely on diesel and petrol generators due to unreliable grid power, leading to high operating costs and environmental concerns.

Officials believe decentralised solar systems could provide a faster and cleaner solution for underserved communities, particularly in rural areas where extending the national grid is expensive and slow.

Aliyu said the mini-grid programme is designed to provide electricity to communities currently outside the grid while strengthening existing infrastructure by integrating some of the new solar installations directly into the national power network.

Why should we worry about the north instead of worrying about our own local and state government officials who have failed to prioritise increasing revenue and federal allocation to implement UBEC provisions for nine years of free and compulsory education for all children?

UBEC was established 27 years ago to provide matching funds for the 36 states to achieve this goal.

Jesus Christ though born in Israel but He is not for the Jews alone but for the whole world. Therefore Christianity is not sectional or particular tribe religion, but a way of life for every human beings who desired to make heaven at last.John 14:6 KJV
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

It starts from the home. That is the first school of life. The family is the functional unit of society. It's sad that the government is deliberately not interested in history or values so as to control the people but in the meantime, the one that is within the people's control is to start learning about themselves from the home. Start from your family. I want families to start discussing who they are, I hope it becomes a trend with this Gen Z who use everything for content but you must give them kudos for questioning what they met on ground. Not religion, I want them to just start telling their stories. It's something a lot of people are uncomfortable with because even the parents don't know

But there's no shame in learning. He who learns teaches - African Proverb.


Edit: miseducation of Negro already identifies the fact that most Negros are lost and they have been lied to and misdeucated but it is never too late to start knowing who we are. Japa is the first shocker for some people when they learn that people over there are more interested in their culture than religion

If we are not advocating enough for our commonwealth to be prioritised for free education of all children by well paid teachers, then how do we even start to reclaim our identity through a well rooted personality built on the good, the bad and the ugly parts of our history

chukwutee:
I have said it, that obi people just fighting a fruitless battle to hijack the government!

SisterAnn:
BS!!

Why have we not insisted this and that blablabla.. why have you not insisted yourself since you love the north more than they love themselves and you know what's best for them more than they know for themselves.

Just imagine!

Ability to read and write and access to internet don't equate intelligence.

I don't even know how or where to begin to address this BS you took your time to write here!

Why are we not insisting this and that blablabla.. you and who please?

It's not just the North, Africans need to liberate themselves from mental slavery. You know why we are passionate about these topics? It's not religion, it's identity. Many of us don't know who we are so we are taught these things. The average Nigerian can tell you what happened in Jericho but ask them what happened in Calabar, Ijesa or Potiskum, they will scratch their heads. A lot of their parents failed because even when you look at values, most people quote scriptures than what their own people passed on. Nigerians look up to them because they have something in common, religion but those people wonder how can a man not know himself. It's one of the things that was taken from us but we too must start to accept that we are responsible. There are many stories in the North that tells the history of who the people are but unfortunately, religion is the first thing people hold to because that's what they know, that's what they teach them, that's what they are fed.

If I ask the average Nigerian to tell me 10 popular sayings from where they come from, they will struggle. If I ask them to tell me 100 from the Bible or Qur'an, say no more...

Pls do... You think we northerners are scared of USA? Or your Almighty Donald Trump?

DomPerignon:
So?

Americans burn their flags more than any other people on the planet.

But if you can send Zion Don pics of them stepping or burning Israeli flags, you could get him to send B-2 bombers to bomb the entire NW.

Finally, wetin una eye pub dey feel like?

Shey you know all your nonsense is being noted by the north?

Sir, I was agreeing with you and helping you educate Dotherightthing.

And I think we should learn from countries that don't elect religion or tribe above competency and merit.

budaatum:
Not "was". Muslim Sadiq Khan is still London Mayor. He is serving a third term and considering a fourth.

And Muslims are not a majority in London, so many non-muslims must be voting for him.

Dotherightthing please know.

A muslim is Home Secretary in UK

I don't blame Trump for coming down on them harshly.

1.Sharia police, or hisbah is unarmed and basically would be wiped out by any bandits...they can't investigate crime, or enforce an arrest on a criminal for stealing. And so forth. They are equivalent to the varied enforcement agencies that exist in many of our states.

2.Also, no state can afford state police, even the christian ones. If you want state police so that the christian states can prevent terrorist movement, be prepared to pay heavy duty taxes for the funding, or forget about it. No state, even Lagos, has the ability to fund a proper police force for city policing...talkless of a police force that would be expert in fighting the bandits in the bush

Such a police force would need drones, heavy machine guns, helicopters, armoured vehicles, all terrain vehicles, and very good rifles..and all that costs money. Note that they also need training facilites, and not just some glorified secondary school or something, good forensic laboratory, and crucially good records....and very good salaries and conditons of service.

In this country where most state budgets are tiny, state police no go work for now. You can call me bandit defender, or any other name, but me, I don't mind state police, but the problem again is...funding.
