Once Nigerians start calling them out for their incompetence, they will roll out fresh lamba to douse the tension.
For nearly 20 years, over 300 containers of transmission equipment sat stranded at our ports. This equipment was bought to expand the network, relieve overloaded substations and bring more reliable electricity to Nigerians. Yesterday, the Nigeria Customs Service approved the release of the first 98. Our engineers will now verify the equipment, test it and deploy it where it is needed most. That means completing stalled projects, easing pressure on overloaded substations and strengthening the grid. This is a significant first step, and we are working to secure the release of the remaining 200+ containers without further delay. We are grateful to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for approving the release. We also thank the Comptroller-General and officers of the Nigeria Customs Service, the Honourable Minister of Finance, the Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, the Nigerian Ports Authority, the terminal operators and the TCN team for their support. A stronger grid, one step at a time. 🇳🇬 #PowerUpdate #MinistryOfPower #RenewedHope #NigeriaGrid #ReliablePower

Did he betray the good people of Oyo State? Except he did that, every other thing/deals with any individual is political. His loyalty is firstly to the people of Oyo State.
He betrayed Atiku Abubakar in 2023, the same man who played a significant role in his emergence in 2019 and funded part of his election day expenses. He betrayed the coalition in 2019, a coalition of political veterans who sacrificed their personal ambitions to work for his emergence. Their decision came at a cost, not only to them but also to several down ballot candidates who were affected by the political arrangement. He betrayed Governor Ademola Adeleke in 2022. Despite the support Imole gave him in 2019, he went into the Adeleke family and backed a family member against Imole. What a remarkable display of political ingratitude. He betrayed Senator Hosea Agboola, a man who was instrumental to the PDP's popularity in Oke Ogun. He went as far as empowering political actors to challenge Halleluyah's authority in the region. They messed the easy going politician. He betrayed Engr. Rauf Olaniyan, his running mate in 2019. After benefiting from their joint political journey, he influenced the Oyo State House of Assembly to impeach the very man who served as his deputy. He betrayed Chief Bisi Ilaka and Engr. Joseph Tegbe. He sacrificed their political ambitions on the altar of his personal ambition, only to leave them out in the cold afterwards. What a pity. He betrayed Mukaila Lamidi Auxiliary. After using Auxiliary and his boys to intimidate and attack APC loyalists in the build up to the 2023 elections, he turned around and abandoned him to face the consequences, including sending him to Agodi. He betrayed Oriyomi Hamzat. This was a man who openly and passionately campaigned for his re-election in 2023. Yet, after victory was secured, Oriyomi suddenly became a political liability. He betrayed Engr. Dotun Sanusi. In both the 2019 and 2023 elections, Ilaji was instrumental to his political success. Just days before the 2023 election, after failing to honour an earlier commitment, he approached Ilaji privately to seek his support. Ilaji accepted his apology and worked for his re-election. But once victory came, the same Ilaji was discarded. He betrayed the Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland and the entire Muslim community. Ahead of the 2023 election, he reportedly entered into an understanding with Muslim leaders that power would be handed over to a Muslim in 2027 if they supported him against another Muslim candidate in 2023. They trusted his words. Today, they are wondering what manner of man he is. He betrayed Adeniyi Rotimi Johnson, a loyal supporter dating back to their days in the SDP. After securing victory, he turned his back on a man who had stood by him and shut him out of his administration. Completely. He betrayed Theo Abu Agada. How? Story for another day. But Theo will never forgive him for running against his candidate after the inglorious Ibadan declaration. His supporters call him MAMBA. Who exactly is this MAMBA?

He betrayed Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele, his first deputy governor in Lagos State. She was part of the political arrangement that brought him to power in 1999. Their relationship eventually collapsed over irreconcilable differences, and she resigned in 2002 He betrayed Rauf Aregbesola, one of his most consequential political associates. Aregbesola was instrumental to the political structure that sustained his influence across the Southwest. Yet, when the struggle over Osun’s political succession emerged, he backed Gboyega Oyetola, his preferred candidate and cousin, against the interests of Aregbesola. He betrayed the Christian stakeholders within his own political party. In 2015, he supported a Muslim-Christian presidential ticket, with Muhammadu Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo. In 2022, having secured the APC presidential nomination, he selected Kashim Shettima, another Muslim, as his running mate. He betrayed the expectations of Nigerians who voted for the APC in 2015. The party campaigned on change, security, economic recovery, anti-corruption and a promise to do things differently. Millions of Nigerians abandoned the PDP and entrusted the APC with their future. They were promised a government that would restore confidence in public institutions and improve living conditions. Today, Nigerians have every right to ask whether the promises that mobilised them were campaign instruments or genuine commitments. He betrayed Nigerians again in 2023. The APC campaigned on economic prosperity, renewed hope, improved security and a better standard of living. Nigerians were asked to endure sacrifices in anticipation of a better tomorrow. Subsidy removal came almost immediately after inauguration, followed by a dramatic depreciation of the naira, escalating food prices and a cost-of-living crisis. Whatever the arguments for economic reforms, the question remains: where was the corresponding preparation, cushioning and institutional capacity to protect ordinary Nigerians from the consequences? He betrayed the expectations of Nigerians on security. The APC came to power in 2015 partly because of the country’s deteriorating security situation. Buhari was elected on the promise that terrorism, insurgency and insecurity would be confronted decisively. Tinubu subsequently inherited the same national security challenge and promised to improve the situation. Yet Nigerians continue to contend with kidnapping, banditry, terrorism and violent attacks. Communities still mourn, families still negotiate for the release of abducted relatives, and farmers still struggle to return safely to their farms. His supporters call him T-pain, who exactly is this T-pain ?

Are you saying Chief Adelabu knew that over 300 containers of transmission equipment sat stranded at the ports and did nothing about this? @BayoAdelabu

Nigerians can afford 247 electricity
One funny thing about Nigeria's electricity problem is that 50% of the population probably can't afford stable electricity. They'll either be disconnected or steal it.

I’m not even from Oyo state but I live here, thrice this year that I’ve had challenges with my health I was scared of going to the hospital because I was low on cash only for me to go and I was paying 100 naira for injections, the price of medication was significantly lower

Kolawole Olawuyi spent 15 years exposing ritualists and fraudulent prophets on ‘Nkan Nbe’. But why did so many Nigerians refuse to accept how he died? How ‘Nkan Nbe’ became Nigeria’s most feared show, and what it reveals about belief and scepticism. Read in The Republic:

I was foolish to think I could make a difference in Nigeria. It was a pipe dream. When the majority of Nigerians are selfishly corrupt and a significant portion of the rest will die on the hill of defending corruption, the minority cannot make a difference.

Please note that the primary reason Chude takes any gig is money. In GEJ’s case Amaechi and friends sponsored him. In Diezani’s case it was a grant he received from MacArthur Foundation. My point is that is repackaging is not for nothing. He’s likely about to sell some thing/one.

Whenever I see Oyo State people try to discredit the performance of Gov Seyi Makinde, I question how we're ever going to make it in this country. So much foolishness and disingenuity. Saving Nigeria(ns) is largely a lost cause.

This post deserves attention and follow up. @FeedbackOYSG . This is the most ridiculous thing I've read all year. As a doctor who works under Oyo State Primary Health Care Board, I recognize the efforts, dedication and contributions of the Oyo State Government in the primary health care. This blog should get sued for misinformation please. Thank you.

If you don't have electricity, do not think too far. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the power grid The Discos are intentionally withholding electricity from getting to you, especially if you're not on band A. Why? A thread 🧵 1/

Look at them. Nuisance
Today the Senate passed for second reading my bill, the National Health Act (Amendment) Bill, 2026 (SB.7590). It sets binding emergency care and referral standards so no Nigerian is turned away in an emergency because they cannot pay.
