Why I know that increasing tuition to 1m per student won’t solve anything is cause when they increased the tuition when I was in Unilag from around 21k to 250k, nothing changed.
Classrooms were still leaking during rain, laboratory reagents were still unavailable, etc.
N1 million per student per year is the honest price of a functional Nigerian public university in 2026. The subsidy that has kept it lower for a decade is why the library ceiling still leaks. Say the number, then price the scholarships to close the gap for the students who need them.
Yoruba family hierarchy can be very funny.
You can be 30 years old and have a 22-year-old cousin who is technically your elder because of family order.
And everybody expects you to respect it.
You don’t argue.
You just say “Ẹ̀gbọ́n” and continue your life. 😂
This community transformer racket has to stop completely. It is daylight robbery disguised as community self-help, and the regulatory double standard is sickening.
Look at how the power sector works in Nigeria:
When a community transformer blows up, the DisCo goes deaf. You write letters, make calls, and nothing happens. Six months down the line, residents are suffocating in darkness, small businesses are dying, and fuel prices are draining everybody's pockets.
Out of sheer desperation, landlords gather, task every household 50k, 100k, or more, and scrape together 5 to 8 million Naira to buy a brand new transformer, buy heavy copper cables, and pay for poles.
The moment that equipment is energized, the DisCo claims it as company property. They add it to their network balance sheet, and within two weeks, they start distributing Band A and Band B bills. If you do not pay, they disconnect you with the ladder leaning on the very pole you bought with your own sweat.
How can a private, for-profit utility company take free capital equipment from struggling citizens, pay zero interest, give zero equity, and then charge those same citizens full price to use it?
If NERC mandated that customers who pay upfront for meters under the MAP scheme must be refunded their money over time through energy credits, why does the exact same logic not apply to transformers?
A meter costs 100k to 150k and you refund it via monthly energy units.
A transformer costs 6 to 10 million Naira funded by an entire street, and you pretend it was a charitable donation to a private entity?
This injustice has to end.
If a community is forced to step in and buy infrastructure because a DisCo failed its obligations, NERC should make automatic amortization mandatory:
Every single household on that street that contributed to buying that transformer should have their meter credited with monthly energy units until the full cost of the asset, cables, and installation logistics is completely paid back.
You cannot let private DisCos enrich their asset portfolios with crowd-funded community blood and then charge those same people premium tariffs for power. If DisCos want to own the asset, they must refund the people who paid for it.
@egi_nupe Yinmu... I no dey delete anything, what's the point of deleting after asking..... Even if I no longer have the need for it, I'll just say it's sorted already
I've been in Abuja for a while now, I work daily and I still can't afford to treat my self to a meal of Amala because I don't make enough to be able to afford it.
I'm already getting sick because of that 🥹🥹🥹🥹
You are not proving a point sir, you made a tweet that concerns Ogun State, it’s going viral, I’m offering to help. And I have good record here of assisting people when they run into issues or bottlenecks in Ogun State. People can verify.
I am willing to assist you to figure out if someone is trying to rip you off.
I haven’t called you a liar, neither have insulted you.
I just refilled my SUV in a Gas station at the rate of $5:499 cent per gallon. Do the conversion and know what you are enjoying in Nigeria. Please, cut the crap of Nigeria being oil producing country because USA has crude oil, has over 120 functional Refineries and has refined petroleum reserve that can last over ten years in time of emergency, yet, this is the current fuel price. Think about it.

All these ones are propaganda and copium.... Transportation will only be cheaper if pms is cheaper or when CNG is easily accessible and can easily be bought without 2-3 days queue
Cheaper Transport. Real Savings.
In Abuja, commuters at Banex are rushing onto CNG buses like never before. Fares that used to cost N1,000 to N1,500 are now as low as N600 to N700.
One passenger put it plainly:
“I used to pay one thousand, sometimes one-five. Now I’m paying seven hundred, sometimes six hundred. It has reduced transportation cost for me a lot.”
Driver Umar Aliyu, just back from his trip, was relaxed and smiling behind the wheel:
“They have our people now, mechanics, drivers, marketers. The motor no problem. Nigeria go good.”
Another driver added:
“The price is very low and we appreciate it, especially we commercial drivers.”
This is the difference President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s CNG programme is already making. Cheaper transportation, more money in people’s pockets and drivers who can actually smile at the end of the day.
Mr President, the people have seen it. Please do more. More buses. More states. More routes. Keep the savings coming.

This is half of what I make in a day after driving for over 12 hours in a day ... I seem to be working for fueling stations, this Tinubu administration is killing me
14 years ago, Tunde @TUNYUS "flew" okada from Ikotun to Ajah (65 km) to attend an event in my home.
Such sacrifice (& risk to his life) remains indelible.
He moved to Canada a couple of years later.
Now a Canadian auto magnate, we were excited to receive him in our home again this week.
