Wait, your username is the same as my grandfathers’ title name (and by extension our family name, sort of) and this is the first time I’m seeing another person with the name.
Are you by any chance from Osun State, sir?
@akinalabi Fair enough, I will vote in this pattern as well. Alex can move upward or stay after completing is 8years in office. As for Obi, he his first of them from the rear.
@Lekan_Tijani_ A link? Possible.
I think we can figure if we dig deeper. However, I’m afraid I may not be able to go beyond grandfather level from my side.
Also, Odeomu (where I come from) was founded by war-induced immigration from Modakeke (which are Originally Oyo’s).
somewhere in your 20s or 30s you’ll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop. its very important that you see that journey through
What’s the context of a “found” camera on an alleged crime scene from which nothing has ever been claimed to be recovered nor was ever used to deny/confirm the incident?
How does mere seeing a camera and pointing it out become a thing of disrepute?
@Femi_OfMainland You didn't recall well.
There is no way Fasola went to the toll gate after about 3 days or one week to recover a camera. That was the grouse ...
It's important to recall the context fully.
The same parents who travel long distances to help/ grieve/ celebrate their friends?
The ones greeting almost everyone from church to the market? They model alot about community and friendship. Alot of us think we're too good for mundane things.
Let's be serious please.
This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.
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.
Why is no one even thinking about it as her not wanting to block others’ view, seeing as the program was ongoing?
Even for respect, she definitely cannot (shouldn’t be) kneeling for that long… especially for “strangers”.
That Governor Seyi Makinde video is laughable. Mentioning Lagos was unnecessary at all.
Okay, Lagos State refused and opted out from a regional security arrangement and so? Y'all cannot make progress without Lagos? Or it is the reason why there are security lapses in your state?
Lagos, a state that most likely moved ahead of everyone, set up its own security infrastructure, absorbed the capital costs independently, and built a framework that works for its own peculiar challenges; that same Lagos should now pause, look back, and deploy additional resources toward an arrangement that frankly does not concern them?
For what, exactly? Regional brotherhood? Lagos State does not have its own problems? Or they don't have other capital allocation decisions to make?
The point is Oyo State, and what has been done with it. The subsidy windfall came. The funds were received. So what happened next? What concrete steps have been taken on security, in clear and verifiable detail?
Even if you thought "arh okay o, we are South-Western brothers, let us collectively do this, e ma bebe ni".
And even on the brotherhood angle, if one sibling has already built a house while you are still laying the foundation, you do not ask them to slow down so you can catch up. You sort yourself out.
Can y'all in South West even try to do something better than Lagos State?
Your Excellency, Lagos is not your problem. Oyo is. Please get to work.
This is the southern gang up against Tinubu that Segun Osoba was crying about. Anybody who thinks that the southern votes to be fragmented against a solid northern candidate and Tinubu will be the beneficiary is selling you a dummy. With this arrangement, Tinubu cannot recover the northern base he lost from anywhere else. The SS, SE, and SW he is hoping to corner for himself are now crowded. Where is the pathway to a win?
Go to the Masjid often, so that you can pray on time in congregation. This will draw your heart closer to Allah and His Book, and set you on the path of righteousness.
Hello @LCFC
I’m Olaogun, a winger also played as a striker from Nigeria. I’ve spent the last 3 years training daily to get one shot at professional football.
I’m not asking for a contract. I’m asking for 7 days on trial to show you what I can do. If I’m not good enough, I’ll walk away with no hard feelings.
I’m fast, direct, and I work harder than anyone on the pitch.
My highlights are here: https://t.co/nD68FCLsMn
Thanks,
Olaogun
