Shock as an excavator driver discovers a strange Seaman’s Dry Gin bottle buried in a swamp with ₦1,000, cowries, roots, and gin inside. It was said to be used for a fetish act to trap someone in alcohol addiction, but he claims breaking it has set the person free.
Alex Otti says that he wants to remove Abia State from the National Grid completely, "even though it's a PRIVATE enterprise" and many Nigerians are busy cheering him and his idea like this is something truly positive.
Are we really a serious people at all? Imagine the entire electricity of a state being owned and controlled by private enterprise(s), doesn't this leave the people at the mercy of the firm? Or you forget that electricity is a basic amenity that should be provided by the govt if we have serious leaders?
Has privatizing anything ever benefitted the masses in this country? Take the only working refinery for example, today we are at the mercy of Dangote, he can increase and reduce prices at any time, and we have no choice because we are dependent on that one refinery that is privately owned. If Abia goes fully private, consumers will most definitely pay more, because there's a 99% chance the govt won't step in to regulate in the long run, and of course, it's private so the goal is to make profit whichever way neccesary.
Abia State govt gets allocations, but wants to privatize electricity.
The problem with many Nigerians is that once someone is put on a pedestal, logical thinking automatically goes off the window.

I am so tired of seeing celebs and influencers promoting products they will likely never use themselves, invest in, or truly recommend to loved ones.
