This is a clear case of extortion!
Saw this on one of my Whatsapp groups. EKEDC IN DESPERATION _____ I installed an 18kW solar power system at my property in Lekki Phase 1, relegating EKEDC supply to a backup status. Since then, I have been having more frequent visits from personnel of Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC), coming to check my prepaid meter. On one of those visits, the EKEDC team stood watching the meter for motion to indicate consumption. When the meter wasn't moving, they called me to say they suspected I had bypassed the meter. I told them I had enough solar power for my daytime needs and only used their supply as a backup for the dark hours. To prove this to them, I switched on my inverter bypass for about 2 minutes so my consumption would be from EKEDC. They saw the meter rotating normally. They were visibly upset and one of them mumbled something like "This ọ̀gá no wan gree us chop". They left. Today (19-Oct-2026), three of them came to my premises with a notice of disconnection. The last time I loaded an EKEDC token was in July 2026 and I still had ample units left. When I asked why they would disconnect me, they said the reason was "LOR" (Loss of Revenue). They said my slow consumption indicates a faulty meter and I had to pay them ₦112,606 for loss of revenue. I told them my meter was not faulty and that they could test it if they wanted. The lady said they were losing revenue and they had to make up for it. I didn't know whether to laugh or to be angry. I have no intention of paying EKEDC a dime for its loss of revenue due to my taking steps to protect my interest. But, I share this story for all who are investing in solar power to know that the DisCos are now desperate. They now have "Loss of Revenue" as a reason for your disconnection from their supply. It is simply that they are not making enough money from you. I am waiting for EKEDC to disconnect me from their grid before I lodge a formal complaint to the regulatory authority. We are in interesting times in Nigeria! Raphael Awoseyin 19-Oct-2026

Nigerian democracy na mockery under Tinubu. Tinubu appoint Segun Showunmi into him campaign Media and Strategic Communication Directorate, same Tinubu appoint Segun madam, Yemi Showumi, head Electoral Operations for INEC. Husband dey campaign for Tinubu to win, wife dey in charge of electoral operations inside the institution wey go conduct that same election. Out of over 200 million Nigerians, na this husband and wife arrangement Tinuburuku decide na the best formation? No need to waste time, this election no go dey free and fair? Segun no dey in that role to play, na the same segun dey threaten treason over announcing results before him wife announce them through INEC. In short, husband dey campaign for Tinubu, wife dey oversee electoral operations for election where Tinubu na candidate, citizens wey wan publish figures dem observe live, dey receive threat. Tinubu think say Nigerians na complete mumu? National election na friends and family business. Anyway, make we continue to unlook. By the time coup go happen after election rigging don finish, the only question wey go remain na who go dey on: Main list Supplementary list. Second batch and third batch. Addendum list. Reserve or waiting list. Because people must answer for their crimes against Nigeria.

This is brutal!
I am struggling with your grammar in certain respects: 1. “This is a complete nonsense.” 2. “Did Anthony Kila lied..” 3. “As a doctorate degree holder myself, it nauseating the way and manners…” 4. For those of us that truly earned our PhD Dr titles, couple with...” What university is your PhD from, please and in what field?

Change your phone PIN and lock your phone. Do not respond to any accusations that you must be hiding something. Do not always be too eager to prove that you are not. For a snoopy woman, it is a habit. Your phone being open only feeds that habit. I am Ezemmuo. I know things.
Replying to @DrJoeAbah
what about the wife that will go into the WhatsApp chat to read family conversation to know if they are saying anything about her?

Thanks Erol for sharing this and showing us what solidarity looks like! The beauty of it, the courage, the unity, and the commitment to one's cause! They brought tears to my eyes!
Gazeteci Bahadır Özgür’ü, gözaltı sonrası adli kontrolle serbest bırakıldığında meslektaşları karşıladı. Özgür : “Her gazetecinin başına geliyor. Hepimizin payına bir şey düşüyor. Bu fon işinin konuşulmasını engellemek istiyorlar. O yüzden de böyle toplu bir şey başlattılar”.

Today, I watched a “Seyi Tinubu Colloquium” being livestreamed on major television stations, and I couldn’t help wondering how deeply the culture of sycophancy has eaten into Nigerian society. I remember the days of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, when Aso Rock became the venue for the wedding of one of his daughters to a sitting governor. Another governor also married into the presidential family. Those relationships attracted enormous political attention, but after Yar’Adua’s death, the political spectacle surrounding them faded so also did these marriages. Today, we are witnessing another manifestation of this culture of power worship. What exactly has @STinubu contributed to Nigerian society to warrant this elaborate colloquium, attended by so many “prominent personalities” and broadcast across major television stations? What extraordinary public service, intellectual contribution, or national achievement is being celebrated? Is this about merit, or simply about being the son of a sitting president? At a time when millions of Nigerians are struggling with hunger, unemployment, insecurity, and economic hardship brought about by his father, @officialABAT we should be having national shaming of the Tinubu regime. Sad day!

Comment: We know her very well. Congratulations our shero Judge Navi Pillay. (This orange 🍊 one’s jealous down is off the charts, nè?)
This is the woman who received the Nobel Peace Prize over the Great United States of America, whose Representative, ME, settled eight Wars, and many other things. I know nothing about this woman, and neither does anyone else! In fact, to the best of my knowledge, no one ever heard of her other than the fact that she, very obviously, hates Israel. I don’t know what the woman has done. I settled 8 Wars, with letters being sent from every President and Prime Minister from the countries that I helped to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, and I’m about to settle, or win, two more, Iran and, Russia/Ukraine. They’re both happening at breakneck speed but, forget them, it’s the 8 that I’ve already settled, any one of which, in particular, Pakistan and India, would be far more than necessary to win the Nobel Prize. In actuality, I should have won 8 Nobel Peace Prizes, not just 1. The 8 Wars are:   Cambodia and Thailand Kosovo and Serbia The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda Pakistan and India Israel and Iran Egypt and Ethiopia Armenia and Azerbaijan Israel and Hamas   Additionally, I stopped Iran from having a Nuclear Weapon, and blowing up the entire Middle East and, ultimately, far beyond! I saved more lives than anyone in History and, as Maria Corina Machado, a truly fine person, stated to the Media when she gave me her Nobel Prize of last year, “Donald Trump settled many Wars, and deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than any person that has ever received it.” Based on my record of PEACE, a record like no one else has ever achieved, I agree! I got back all of the hostages in Israel, including the final 28, both living and dead, and worked with Hamas to do it — Nobody believed this was possible! I removed the World’s Evil Dictator, Nicolas Maduro, from Venezuela, and am in the process of making Venezuela a rich Democracy. Likewise, with Iran, I stopped them from destroying Israel, the Middle East, and Europe. I am also preventing, on a constant basis, a War between South Korea and North Korea, and Japan and North Korea. Add China and Taiwan, and numerous other hot spots, which have not been involved in Wars, only because of President Donald J. Trump, and the United States of America. I am responsible for having NATO countries increase spending from 2% to 5% of GDP, creating a stronger alliance and defense, another thing that everybody said was impossible to do. I have negotiated the release, and secured the return, of more than 900 political prisoners from multiple countries in Eastern Europe. Additionally, I have brought 196 hostages HOME from captivity, from all over the World, and did it without having paid a ransom, unlike Biden and Obama who would pay Billions of Dollars. On top of it all, I have created a soon to be very prosperous Arctic. Despite all of this, the Nobel Prize was given today to a liberal person who works at the United Nations, who nobody has ever heard of. In all of the Wars that I have settled, I never spoke to the United Nations—they were of no help. The United States of America, represented by me, as your President, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, but didn’t. This is an indelible stain on Norway, one that will never be forgotten. The Nobel “Peace” Prize has been forever discredited by a handful of Radical Ideologues who are Anti-Democracy, and Enemies of Civilization! President DONALD J. TRUMP ( TS: Oct 9 2026, 11:39 PM ET )​​​​​​​​‍‌​​‌​​‍‌‌​‍‌​​‍​‍‍‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌
