@aedcelectricity while the rest of the FCT is enjoying intermittent supply, residents of Light Gold Estate Phase 4 in Lugbe are groaning in darkness for nearly 36 hours. Are we less human or we don't fulfill our obligations to you? This is absurd. My meter no is 45056920767

@ecobank_nigeria what the heck is happening with your mobile app? One cannot make a transaction to other local banks. Should I be worried and consider other options including abandoning your bank account?

@AirtelNigeria I bought the Airtel 5G device last month (Dec. 2023) and enjoyed super fast connection even when I traveled out of Abuja to my home town. One month later with a new subscription & it's all slow and disruptive. What's going on?

"Got to NNPC filling station this morning to buy fuel and This Happened"😳

While in the queue, it was the turn of the man before me and there were two pumps in his front.

The immediate pump was vacant, but there was a car that was about to move out from the second pump.

This man moved past the immediate pump to wait for the car in the second pump. He did this to give me space to buy from the immediate pump.

I was sincerely impressed. Most people would simply block you even if the next pump is available to them.

Sadly for this man, the pump he moved to stopped selling and the attendant didn’t even bother to talk to the man.

I was just watching the man and wondered what would be going on in his mind.

While filling my tank, the pump attendant was looking for a working POS machine to collect her money.

Most of their POS machines were not working. When they found one POS with sufficient network, the man approached the attendant to ask her to sell to him since he has managed to reverse his 406 Peugeot in an awkward position to the pump he had moved past for my sake. The girl walked past him to me as if he was not there.

All of these things happened and the man maintained his calmness and patience but I knew he somehow felt that maybe I was treated better because my car is bigger than his own.

I know if I were him I would feel very bad.

While the pump attendant was trying to collect her money with her POS machine, I signaled the man and he came close to hear me.

Me: Good morning, sir.

Man: Good morning, sir.

Me: How much fuel do you want to buy, sir?

Man: Me? N17,000.

Me: (to the pump attendant) please, add 17k to my 30k. That’s 47k. I’m paying for this good man.

Man: Ah! Thank you, sir. (He also said some prayers with Hausa language)

Me: No, thank you, sir. You are a good and patient man.

Unfortunately again, the POS machine refused to work. Looking around, both the motorists and pump attendants in the busy filling station were all frustrated.

The girl tried different POS machines and different cards and it kept declining.

The man witnessed everything, rushed to his car and brought out cash of 47k and handed it over to the pump attendant and told me that I could transfer to him there or whenever my bank app allowed me.

We exchanged numbers and he texted me his account details. This man watched me leave without sending him his money there.

I got home wowed. Instead of sending him 47k, I sent him 100k. He’s been on the phone thanking and praying for me. According to him, he has been struggling to complete his last child’s school fees and the money I sent him would do just that.

I have told him that I will pay his family a visit this weekend and I intend to give one of his Children a fully funded scholarship up to the University level.

Love, always!

Once upon a time

[Bashir Ahmad, OON @BashirAhmaad]

I join fellow concerned Nigerians in urgently calling on the @PoliceNG through its PPRO @PrinceMoye1 to acknowledge and respond to the unfortunate incident involving the kidnapping of Najeebah and five of her sisters #NajeebahAndHerSisters more than a week ago. The information shared by a family member @Adamu_Asiya_ this morning indicated that the kidnappers have tragically killed Najeebah as a warning and demanded a N100 million ransom for the release of the remaining victims.

We implore the Nigeria Police to prioritize this case and deploy all necessary resources to safely rescue the remaining victims.

Thank you!

@fkeyamo Honourable Minister this is to complain about the state of Terminal B (domestic) at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. The place is a hellhole with no functional ACs or ventilation. You'd suffocate here.
