People can't be moving like this unchecked under the guise of freedom of movement.
Who are they?
Where are they from?
Where are they heading to?
Do they have NIN or any means of identification?
Passenger manifest?
Source of income to sustain life in their new destination?
Do they have houses to stay in their destination?
What available social services will they consume in their destination?
There are over 200 Okadas in several clusters on Castle Rock Road. The number keeps growing as if someone comes to drop them in batches of 40 weekly. Bikes are banned but the state can't enforce basic rules.
Nobody knows where these guys are from? How do over 200 unknown guys with bikes suddenly appear in a community? Who procured the bikes for them? A bike now costs over N1million. What is the source of funding for the bikes?
The police at the Maroko division are only concerned about stopping people driving flashy cars. The state is on autopilot.
IMPROVEMENT IN THE POWER SECTOR IS FELT, NOT TOLD.
Maybe, just maybe…
Nigeria’s electricity problem is no longer simply about “more generation.”
Yes, there are genuine ongoing projects: OB3, AKK, ELPS expansion, transmission substations, SIEMENS UPGRADES, STATE ELECTRICITY MARKETS etc. Nobody paying attention can honestly say nothing is happening.
But we also need to stop treating “ongoing” like an achievement.
In Nigeria, some projects have been “95% complete” since the time of Adam.
A power project cannot be “almost ready” for 7–10 years.
Every major project should have a clear completion date, public milestones and accountability if timelines fail.
A few uncomfortable truths:
1. The privatisation may need revision.
The DisCos likely need a mandatory recapitalisation exercise: something similar to what Soludo’s CBN did with banks. Electricity is too important for operators who cannot sufficiently invest in infrastructure, metering and network upgrades.
2. Regulation has to become enforcement.
NERC and state regulators cannot continue operating mainly through statements and guidelines yet when a citizens reports an issue; it dies off somewhere,somewhere without resolution. Compliance should be proactive, measurable and enforced.
3. We should judge the sector by outcomes, not announcements.
Since 2023, the messaging has largely been the same: improve electricity supply, stabilise the grid and increase delivered power.
Yet reality has been mixed.
2023: Better electricity supply was promised. Some may argue that they are currently worst off in terms of supply experience.
2024: Major focus shifted to grid stability and transmission improvements. Yet grid disturbances still happened repeatedly.
2025: Nigeria recorded generation highs close to 6,000 MW: genuine progress that deserves acknowledgment. But sustained supply still remains far below meagre 5,000 MW.
Now the official ambition is 8,000 MW by 2027.
Possible? Yes.
Achievable? Also yes.
But Nigerians have heard enough projections since NEPA era.
The hard questions remain:
What project will be completed? By when? What exact MW will it add? And how do Nigerians measure success beyond press statements?
Else, propaganda runs amok.
If you can see this, please don't scroll past. I have fully hit rock bottom🥺Nothing is working, but I can work.i am highly educated, skilled, and ready to work immediately in any of these fields
I have some friends yet to congratulate me for Arsenal Victory 7 days after we lifted the EPL trophy and 12 days after we won it, but they couldn't resist the urge to send mocking messages celebrating the UCL loss. It didn't matter to them what winning it meant to me and how losing it at that stage must feel.
There is a life lesson here. There are those who will celebrate your inability to attain just because it makes them feel better about themselves or their feeling of superiority based on past glory.
Regardless, those messages had the opposite effect. They became fuel and motivation to keep believing and pushing forward. We will win it one day by His Grace. And y'all be living witnesses. 🙏
