See the exact breakdown below.
Read it and weep!

And the same government can't pay 140k/150k minimum wage to workers. I am sure our colonial masters would be laughing their ass out - and saying "see what they're doing to themselves".... Niggers!

Nigerian elites/leaders (in government and private sector) are jokers. You base the price of fuel, gas, food, other goods and services on exchange rate, but you don't want to consider exchange rate while determining minimum wage for workers who are the consumers.

Isn't it ridiculous that a worker in Nigeria (call him gate man or cleaner or whatever), even after this so-called negotiation with the labor union, may still go home with less than 65k naira per month? This is about 50 dollars per month before tax. It means some workers in Nigeria may not have more than a dollar to live on per day. Anybody earning below $2usd per day is living below the poverty line - this is what UN says. Why is this not a point of discussion and negotiation?

I don't think Labor should accept anything less than $100 equivalent in Naira as minimum wage. Even that amount is inhumane in a country where lawmakers, governors, ministers, etc buy 160-million-naira SUV for themselves with public money. Some have more than 1 SUV in their convoy, all bought with public funds.

if tinubu complete this project in his 8yrs tenure I will take my life.

The whole project can't be completed in 8 years. Even the first phase would take 3 to 4 years to complete, and they have about 4 phases or thereabout.

For us, once the phase 1 (VI to Lekki port/Dangote) is completed, we are fine and we would celebrate it. If not Tinubu, other governments should take it up from there and complete the remaining. Government is a continuum.

How come the Northerners and Middle-Belters are not complaining about this road project? Why is it only the Balotellis of Nigeria?

Nigerians must think well before criticizing

Who cares about their criticism? Whoever you need to explain the economic importance of the road to is either an illiterate or an enemy of progress.

Whatever needs to be demolished should be demolished - I can even offer free demolition service to government if required. You can't have it both ways more so that compensations are being paid to the affected people.

What should be our concern is the tradition of the Nigerian government to abandon projects. We must not allow this to happen to the coastal road project. I love the project and I can see the transformation this would be bring, to not only Lagos but all other states it connects.

first of all penkelemess isn't the problem, he is a banker and has no business being in the power sector, we can only solely blame the president for assigning such a very delicate, technical, and science-oriented portfolio to someone who has never been a science student, has no knowledge or experience about anything technical. well, I believe there is a particular reason for that decision, it is an open secret that Penkele is gunning for the Oyo state governorship seat in 2027 and we all know how big the budget is for the power ministry.

secondly, the problem is about policy, since we can't generate enough power, i would have expected the president and his team to have mapped out s strategy to harness renewable energy. it would have been good if govt had partnered with foreign solar product production companies in China to establish in Nigeria and produce solar products for Nigerians at a reduced rate. at least people will have an alternative to nepa

the third is finance, after having those companies set up in Nigeria, the govt can give out loans to FG workers, state workers, and co to purchase these items and pay back, the issue of sending 50k to Nigerians is totally stupid, such measures will not have any effect at all. but the 200 billion spent on that dubious scheme could have been better diverted to better use.

last;y , govt should have set up a research team, which will comprise seasoned scientists and notable policymakers to design a framework for how to reduce the nation's dependence on fossil energy, and hydro energy and to bring out new ways we can better and more effectively harness other potentials in our environment

Thank you.

Why power supply has gone from bad to worse shortly Adelabu took over is what I'm still trying to wrap my head around.
He wants to be Oyo governor and ordinary power ministry he couldn't manage properly. Oyo state people would be looking for something other than good governance to make this one their governor. This assignment has shown beyond reasonable doubt that Adelabu is incompetent.

Power supply has never been this bad. Even NEPA time was better.

Objectivist04:

Is he late Adelabu's son ?

Grandson of Penkelemesi

Penkelemess has messed up power supply in the country. Why is Tinubu not acting?

Tranquillity360:
For what they are doing to innocent people in the communities now.


The terrorists soldiers no die well.


Only country that kills it innocent citizens because criminals attacked some soldiers.

So, you think soldiers would be killed just like that by some miscreants without any consequence? The heads of those villages and the governor of the state should fish out the criminal elements who killed the soldiers and hand them over to the military if they don't want innocent people (which might include them) to die. With the presidential order, those villages involved won't see or hear voice of human beings for decades to come.

How about the crooks in banks. How many MDs and directors of the corruption cesspool called banks have been arrested and locked up?

To say that power supply situation in the country is getting worse is an understatement. The situation is, to say the least, pathetic. What we face today has clearly eroded whatever investment has gone into power supply over the years. With Tinubu in Aso Rock, we had hoped that power supply situation in the country would improve given his antecedent as the brain behind EAS/Egbin project which was originally midwifed to address the power needs of Lagosians. We had hoped a visionary leader like him would be able to build quickly on whatever was on ground and improve power supply for economic prosperity.

Tinubu came in and announced Adelabu as the minister of power. Within weeks, power supply nose-dived, and it has been one trouble per week since then. If it is not gas supply shortage, it would be gas pipeline leakage. If not pipeline leakage, it would be a problem with a major transformer. First, his appointment as the minister of power was a rude shock to many of us who had expected a tested hand. We couldn't understand the basis for his appointment as the minister of power. This man has only been a deputy governor in the corruption ridden CBN where he made money for himself and enjoyed his days inside air-conditioned office. The AC I doubt he knows how it works. Now he is our power minister. Someone said he is a first-class accounting graduate. The question is, how has he brought that to bear on power ministry? Shouldn't even this be an embarrassment to other first-class graduates? Ordinary policy direction, he hasn't shared with Nigerians. Today, we don't know what is going on in that ministry. All we see daily is epileptic power supply and Adelabu frequently flying in and out of Ibadan where he is nursing a governorship ambition.

Anyway, the "penkele-mess" in the ministry needs to be cleaned. The president needs to step in and do the needful. Power supply is the lifeblood of any country and therefore, its management shouldn't be handed to just any politician.

Not only that. The CAC certificate of that fraudulent company should be withdrawn.

Any company used to syphon the commonwealth of Nigerians should be closed down and all their directors arrested.

This is commendable. I hope she's found innocent and returned to her office soon.
When you fight corruption, corruption will fight back.
Betta Edu only reported the illegal movement of N44B in her ministry.
That's her offence.

Which corruption was she fighting? Is she the EFCC or ICPC chairperson?

She should be able to prove the illegal movement of 44B if truly it happened. And the question is, who did she report this movement to? To the president or EFCC?

Biden and his cohorts seem to have lost their voices after seeing the anger on the streets of the world's capital cities (in the west, asia, middle east, and even Africa) against the ongoing holocaust ironically spearheaded by Israel in Gaza.

Biden must not abandon Natanyahu in the middle of battle with babies, childrens, women, etc. More bombs should be shipped to Natanyahu

The Lagos State government has sealed off Alaba International market in Ojo over its filthy environment.

The state’s commissioner for environment, Tokunbo Wahab, made this known on Monday via his X account.

“Alaba International Market, Ojo has been sealed up for poor waste disposal practices, failure to pay their waste bills and gross environmental sanitation offences.

How many of the immigration officials have you apprehended and sacked? Almost all of your officers are involved and you need to make some scape goats.

You think they will let go easily?

Passport doesn't take 6 months. The irredeemably corrupt immigration officials are the ones complicating it and making it look like a rocket science. If the minister wants result, he needs to start sacking those heading the departments within immigration responsible for passport printing. ICPC should also be brought in to investigate them... their bank accounts, relatives accounts, properties they have, etc. Until we start jailing those crooks, nothing much will change... I hate seeing anybody in that immigration uniform.

Beremx:
he's still far better than Tinubu who forged his result and has no proof he sat for WAEC. Abeg rest

All the documents provided by the University Tinubu attended showed he was a brilliant student. Unlike Obi, who couldn't even meet the basic requirements for admission into any serious University. Obi and his dumb followers should be ashamed of themslves
