awodman:
Someone actually posted on this thread that there is light in Alakahia...considering how close Alakahia is to Aluu and Uniport then it might be your light issue is caused by sometin more localized..
Are you sure is Alakahia & not Elekahia? its been over 4 days since we last saw NEPA in UNIPORT, ALUU & CHOBA yet bill of 1600 has just been paid to NEPA.

Buhari has never threatened violence.
be careful what you say.

I agree with you in some sense, that power for change is in the hands of the Nigerian masses, but for some reason the seem contented with "suffering and smiling".

Incidently I do not think Nigerians elected GEJ, I believe Buhari was elected in 2011, but when the election result were rigged and their mandate denied, Nigerians just rolled over and accepted it.
The inaction is as bad as if they had knowingly elected GEJ.

[b]If i was not bothered i won't be commenting here.Read and comprehend my comment and understand where i am coming from.Are you saying all what i have said is a Lie? If i am lying then you are right if what i said so far is true then i am right.As for xenophobia it is a minor issue and as for crime,i am here 13 years and have never once been robbed.It is your right to defer with my opinion but the truth is the truth.I can't waste my time trying to change a people who aggressively reject change.I tried it once and i ate humble pie.The problem with Nigeria is not the leaders it is the people who have corruption embedded in their DNA.Just look at how they are praising Jonathan on NL even though he has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to move Nigeria forward.Our power problem is a very minor issue i can fix with one decision but the average Nigeria will not elect people like me into power.They do not want to fix the electricity because Aso rock never lacks electricity.The politicians have big generators in their homes so they are not bothered.If they were affected by the electricity problem they would have fixed it a long time ago.They do not care and will never care.Instead they will elect alhajis, baba alayes ,Igwes and their tribes men e.t.c

Nigeria's is the only country in the world where the electorate are more concerned about the tribe and religion of the candidates as opposed to what they can offer the people.The day we get rid of Yoruba man must rule ,Igbo man must rule and Hausa man must rule mentality,that is the day we will elect Good leaders.Until then we are shooting ourselves in the foot.Look at the likes of that baboon known as Asari dokubo threatening war and Buhari also threatening violence Is that an example of sane people or people who have the best interest of the country at heart.We need to get rid of tribal politics and we will never do so by speaking grammar.Nigerians are hard of hearing ,they are like goats,they do not like to take correction or do the right thing.So they need hard words that may hopefully jolt them back to reality and help them make reasonable decisions.[/b]

Opoki: The last time we had electricity in the whole of my LG was August 5 2010...
Save Ona Ara LG of Oyo State.
No Electricity,
No Motorable roads,
No health care center,
No drinkable water.

We have Governor,
We have Honourable representing us in the house of assembly and rep so also senate.

Yet nothing.

Na sooo, dats my local government o . Am always unhappy anytime I'm coming home cos I have to spend a lot on fuel. Nothing is working in that LGA. And that's the constituency of the immediate past senate leader. Teslim Folarin and other prominent politicians who has done nothing but to embezzle our money, that LGA is backward
