“If I do not provide steady electricity in four years, do not vote for me for 2nd Tenure,” -BAT
Thirty-two months after being incharge and instead of living by his powerful words, he now dumps National Grid that has been performing abysmally under his watch.
Those were the powerful words then that inspired hope among Nigerians who longed for light in their homes, stability for their businesses, and growth for their nation. Yet, while Nigerians are still grappling with that unfulfilled, categorical electoral promise - and without clear communication on the obstacles, if any, we read of provision in 2025 budget about the ₦10 billion for solar power at Aso Rock, and in 2026 budget another humongous amount for upgrade and maintenance and now we are being scarcitically told that Presidential Villa has planned to be disconnected from the national grid to rely entirely on solar.
It is a gross neglect and deeply worrisome when the seat of power abandons the national grid. One would expect government institutions to lead efforts to strengthen and expand the grid so that other establishments, and ultimately, citizens can benefit. If those in authority disconnect themselves from the system, who then will connect the ordinary Nigerian to reliable power?
Promoting renewable energy, as solar systems do, is commendable and necessary for the future. However, this situation reflects a deeper concern: governance lacking compassion and commitment to the governed. You cannot tell the people to fast while feasting yourself, securing yourself while Nigerians remain unsecured.
Nigerians do not expect 100% fulfilment of promises, but they do expect 100% effort, accompanied by measurable improvements and clear explanations when gaps exist. Leadership must serve the people, not isolate itself from their daily struggles. -PO
What I love most about this video is that he found the boy hustling by all means to fend for himself, not begging or constituting nuisance in the streets and he’s very appreciative.
Both the philanthropist and the boy deserve all the accolades and popularity they’re getting.
Nigerians need to make this video go viral and push it everywhere. The raw passion in his voice, the anger, the hunger, the desperation feels like a nation speaking through one man. I’ve rarely seen any content creator confront Tinubu this directly, without fear or soft language.
‘Tinubu's government is sitting back, not doing enough,' -USA Congressman Bill Huizenga fights back tears over killings in Nigeria.
“I went to school with kids from Nigeria”.
Governor - do you care to comment on your own complicity in the death of Christians?
You instituted Sharia law.
You signed the law that makes so-called blasphemy punishable by death.
They were fighting me when I said a serious Nigerian govt can end terrorism in 2weeks.
The tweet is still here.
Nigeria just needs a leader that has the balls to pull the trigger on terrorists
If you Say that the US Govt does not have the Interest of Nigerians at Heart, I won’t argue with you; But Pls look at Nigeria from Top To Bottom very well.
Does Nigeria look like a Country that the Nigerian Govt has the Interest of the People at Heart? 😂🤷🏽♂️
