This was Lagos in the 60s, 70s and 80s, but some gullible minds will tell you it's Tinubu that developed Lagos.

The discontent and frustration that you feel is entirely your own creation.

@AttaCapital @DanielRegha 4. The very few areas Nigerians are benefitting from the government is through electricity, take that out and you'll be battling prices you've never imagined before.
English
@AttaCapital @DanielRegha So here is what people don't know, electricity is very expensive, even in the UK people bypass their meters.
2. Private sector is out to maximize profit which means you'll have to pay more.
3. PPP of most Nigerians is low that they cannot afford electricity if not subsidized.
English
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.

@AttaCapital @DanielRegha Explain to me how the privatization of generating ND distribution companies improve electricity in Nigeria
English
@DanielRegha Actually in some developed countries, it is privatized- which gives room:
-Better accessibility
-efficiency
-affordability. We need stability.
I support the privatization
English
@ogkuku2 @DanielRegha You are the one that is wrong here, all the companies you mentioned above are either distribution or generations companies
English
Most electricity of states in Nigeria are owned by private enterprises. In Lagos, Transgrid Enerco Limited, a Nigerian consortium, owns a 60% controlling stake in the EKEDC. Similarly,
in Enugu, EEDC is largely owned by private investors, with Sir Emeka Offor serving as the Chairman of the Board. One doesn't need any proof that the retard and hungry-looking Daniel Regha feeds off APC rice.

@BoldlyNigerian @FinPlanKaluAja1 Ok cool, Is having a national grid an advantage or disadvantage?
English
@SimplyIncredib @FinPlanKaluAja1 They can now generate, transmit and distribute their own electricity.
And No it was not Buhari. It was Tinubu that signed this into law.
English
Lagos State wanted to detach Lagos State from the power grid under Governor Bola Tinubu and Enron, but the FGN stopped him
FGN also stopped Rivers and Akwa-Ibom
Abia State lucked out with GEJ and Bart Nnaji and got an early start. Now that laws have been amended, States can exercise power. It should have happened from 1999
Nigeria can't run a single national grid; it's too inefficient
Regarding the Discos, they should own the grids and buy and sell power on their terms.
This “nationalisation” of everything does not allow for business efficiency
How can power be generated in Bayelsa and transmitted all the way to Yobe
I know nothing about power, happy to be educated
TheCable@thecableng
.@alexottiofr: Our vision on electricity is to detach Abia from the national grid... my commissioner for power is currently in The Netherlands negotiating that
English
@BoldlyNigerian @FinPlanKaluAja1 Buhari you mean, secondly what do you mean by authority? Care to put more light into it?
English
@FinPlanKaluAja1 Through the Constitutional Amendment 2023 & the Electricity Act 2023 signed by President Tinubu states now hold authority over their electricity markets
Lagos has also started.
More governors need to do same!
Nigeria’s future is bright.

NIGERIA VS SAUDI ARABIA: OIL PRODUCTION AND PETROL PRICES — 2026
Global Crude Oil Production
🇳🇬 Nigeria: 1,541,000 bbl (16th)
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia: 11,174,000 bbl (2nd) 🟢
Petrol Price per Liter
🇳🇬 Nigeria: $0.589 (₦807) 🟢
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia: $0.621 (₦851)
Saudi Arabia produces about 7.3 times more oil than Nigeria, yet petrol prices in both countries remain almost the same.

@Aashfinn Hatred for Muslims ? Lol
Most hate groups in Nigeria have drawn their fundamental beliefs from islam
English
The Nigerian Christians are so dumb to the extent that their hatred for northern Muslims wouldn’t allow them see things clearly.
David Icke@davidicke
When are Christians and Muslims going to realise that BOTH are being played in the most classic divide and rule? Trump needs Christian support for his tyranny and foreign policy and Netanyahu needs Christian support for his Greater Israel tyranny. So they tell you what you want to hear while having contempt for you. Trump is no more a Christian than I am an igloo. He's just welcomed to the White House and praised the ISIS leader president of Syria before bombing 'ISIS' in Syria - a country that is part of 'Greater Israel' ambitions. I'm sure the targeting of Nigeria is only about Christians. Nigeria imports from China are 27.80% of total imports, plus India at 11.43%. Nigeria is also one of Africa’s leading oil producers. A 'second great Crusade'? Yes, sure, it's all about protecting Christians.

@Iam_kristenT @Kickflowdown @Oluwanonso_Esq Nope, police enforcement will begin 2nd January. Read the press release again
English
@SimplyIncredib @Kickflowdown @Oluwanonso_Esq Yeah. The court will not start sitting until the first working week of January.i.e from 5th.
So enforcement would have started before then.

SUMMARY: The Police tricked the NBA.
The Police had an informal agreement with the NBA to maintain the status quo on the tinted glass issue until final judgment. The NBA—foolishly, if I may add—relied on this promise (never trust the FG) and withdrew its motion for an interlocutory injunction based on it.
With no valid motion or order for an interlocutory injunction in place, the Police believe they can continue enforcing the tinted glass policy.
The NBA is angry that the Police tricked them into withdrawing the motion. The Police has pulled a 419 on the NBA.

THE RESUMPTION OF ENFORCEMENT OF THE POLICE UNLAWFUL TINTED GLASS PERMIT POLICY IS A GRAVE AFFRONT TO THE MAJESTY OF THE COURT AND A SUBVERSION OF THE RULE OF LAW A press release dated 15th December 2025, issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, announcing the reactivation of the enforcement of the suspended tinted glass permit policy with effect from 2nd January 2026, has once again confirmed the sad reality that the Nigeria Police Force, despite being the foremost law enforcement agency in Nigeria, continues to exhibit a troubling disregard for the rule of law and the due process it is constitutionally mandated to uphold. The press release not only amounts to executive recklessness but also portrays the Nigeria Police Force and its leadership as lacking in respect for the court, the rule of law, and due process of law. A recap of the events leading up to this moment will provide context for our position. In April 2025, the Inspector General of Police purportedly introduced a policy mandating that citizens annually obtain motor vehicle tinted glass permits through an online platform (possap.gov.ng), with enforcement initially scheduled to begin June 1, 2025, and later postponed to October 2. Reports of harassment, extortion, and civil rights violations, particularly against young people, became widespread. On September 2, 2025, the Nigerian Bar Association, through its Section on Public Interest and Development Law (NBA-SPIDEL), instituted an action before the Federal High Court, Abuja, in Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/1821/2025 between Incorporated Trustees of the Nigerian Bar Association v. Inspector General of Police & Anor, challenging the legality of the Tinted Glass Permit Policy. The suit questioned, among other things, the lack of constitutional or statutory authority vested in the Nigeria Police Force to levy fees or impose financial obligations on citizens under the guise of enforcing the policy. In challenging the legality and constitutionality of the policy because the NBA contends that the policy is unconstitutional, obnoxious, illegal, extortionate, and a threat to citizens’ rights and economic well-being, the NBA thus contends in the suit that: a.The Motor Tinted Glass (Prohibition) Act of 1991, under which the policy is premised, is a military-era decree that no longer meets the democratic thresholds of justification under Section 45 and other relevant sections of the 1999 Constitution; b.The National Assembly does not have the legislative competence to enact the law; therefore, the same cannot rightly be deemed a law properly made by the National Assembly. c.The enforcement of the unlawful policy will initiate disorder and extortion, given the Nigeria Police’s long and sordid history of extortion, bribery, harassment, intimidation, and extra-judicial killings. d.The policy is a brazen revenue-generating drive by the Nigeria Police Force, which by law is not a revenue-generating organisation. This is particularly worrisome as the fees are paid into the account of a private company. e.The imposed levy for obtaining and renewal of the permit adds to Nigeria’s ever-increasing layers of taxation, thereby portraying Nigeria as a difficult place to do business. The levy imposed financial burden and hardship on Nigerians struggling with economic hardship. f.The permit policy undermines Nigeria’s tax reforms, which will come into effect in January 2026, in that it will add to the multiplicity of taxes and taxing agencies in Nigeria, as well as the high corporate tax burden on businesses. g.Nigeria imports cars from abroad, and modern vehicles come with factory-fitted tinted glasses, yet the Police discountenance this in the drive to generate revenue for themselves and a few individuals.

@Iam_kristenT @Oluwanonso_Esq The police know it will be struck down again, but not before mopping up a few millions and helping officers make Christmas money from the Nigerians that will be fleeced. Merry Christmas

@EbongDi @NigBarAssoc The judiciary is complicit in this too, police charged someone to court and he was ordered to pay a fine or face jail time all because of tinted permit
English
@NigBarAssoc The Nigerian police want to enforce a case that's still in court.
Only in Nigeria do we see the same institutions meant to uphold the law breaking it instead.
God help Nigeria 🇳🇬

@NigBarAssoc The Nigeria judiciary sold themselves out so it shouldn’t be a surprise the court holds no ground anymore cus the judiciary is compromised
English
There will be a heavy resistance to Tinubu’s planned 2026 tax regime. And I’ll gladly be in front of it.
You want to tax us, first show us what you’ve done with all you’ve taken. I won’t pay for Seyi’s bloated security details, nor Remi’s extravagant lifestyle.
ACCOUNTABILITY!

@FinPlanKaluAja1 was that he came up with agricultural friendly policies that boosted farming in the North which subsequently resulted into massive irrigation farming.
More youths are involved in farming now more than ever albeit the insecurity in certain areas which has significantly hampered
English
@FinPlanKaluAja1 Jobs that come once in a while have started replacing farming? NawaO
I won't dismiss what he said but the north is large enough for one man's opinion coined from where he hailed from be the outline of farming activity in the North.
The only achievement Buhari had in the North
English
I had a big Oga friend who was from the North.
One day, he told me that there would be a severe crisis in the North. I asked why
He explained to me that the North has operated an economic system for decades. Wealthy landowners rent out the land to farmers; farmers pay back with the harvest. The shared prosperity binds everyone
He said a telecom company came to his State and hired workers to dig a trench for optical cables. I can't recall with certainty, but he said they were paid about N15,000 a day, and they worked 4 days a week.
When he told me this, the three-month agricultural value a farmer got for that same period was the same N15000
So you get the picture, what they earned in a week surpasses what they earned in a quarter
Note that agriculture is seasonal
He said the local chief told him that many youth no longer want to work on farms and are seeking jobs that pay more. His point was that communal bonding was slowly easing off, and the new money was distorting the socio-economic fabric of the communities.
Thus was well before political money flooded the zone
Something to think about
Ahmad Salkida@A_Salkida
Northern Nigeria was, in many ways, the country’s safest region through the 1980s and 1990s. Large-scale violent crimes hadn’t yet taken root. What existed instead was a quieter, more passive form of extremism akin to the one shown in this video. You had groups that refused to eat or buy meat from the market unless it was slaughtered exclusively by members of their sect. Initially, their extremism seemed inward-facing, causing no direct harm. However, over time, as their leaders accumulated influence and moral authority among their followers, those ideas began to harden. Eventually, they escalated into explicit orders for violence. Extremism often begins the moment the rational mind gives way, and when unquestioned belief edges out independent thought, without anyone noticing until it is too late.
