I was on visit to Ondo state in Nigeria recently and i was shocked to hear from the indigenes and residents to hear about this.

Imagine asking for a cold bottle water or drink and they suddenly start laughing at you.

As a matter of fact, that’s the fastest way to identify a stranger in OKITIPUPA, ONDO STATE. just request for anything cold or iced.

To think that this people have a governor, senator, House of Rep Members is very shameful.

See below video evidence from a resident and pictures of the dilapidated electric poles that ought to be distributing light.

Shame on their leaders.

Please share or tag all the appropriate authorities until they fix it.

For the records, it's not 12 years, it's 16years without power from the national grid.

Tinubuadvocate:
Olagunsoye oyinlola commissioned transformer In Ondo. No wonder political office holders see Nairaland as a huge joke .

I made a mistake on the name of the governor and nobody is above it

Franzinni:
Wow good location for epic movie

that place is green as Bleep just like US housing estate

ThEGodFaThEr103:
And many of them on Nairaland will come online casting aspersions at other tribes.
Is not only Ondo, some villages in Ogun state too don't have electricity pole let alone electricity.

They are all forming lagosians on nairaland

Pearlyakin:

When was Oyinlola the governor of Ondo state ?

pardon me for that I cant remmeber the name of that governor

Dabronze:
It was beacuse of the witch and t the evil people in that village they hate electricity when they fly in the night
when the former govenor before Mimiko i cant remmeber his name maybe Agagu or somithing gave them the transformer in that village is not up to a day that those evill peopl destroy it if you know OKITIPUPA very well is full of evill people.

Lol........Okitipupa is very big, you think transformer is the problem of a town that has a University and Teaching hospital?

The entire town and some neighboring towns are not connected to the national grid.....that's the problem.

Not only Oktipupa. The same goes for igbokoda, igbekebo and Atijere. Even water is an issue

But omotosho is very close to that place

the greenery though.beautiful country side.

This town was a blessing to lots of Urhobos in the past. 1 in every 10 Urhobo had relations who grew up in that part of the country.

What happened to a once booming town?

This country menh!

All of the Local Governments in Ondo south Senatorial District are affected except Odigbo(Ore township) who just got reconnected recently.It is so disappointing that such a huge population of people have no access to electricity.I just wonder what the politicians in those areas campaign with during electioneering time.

Am Not lie mohammed Tell me exactly the lie.

I have never leave there for once. But a have hundreds of family members there up till tomorrow

I remember my time at Irele, the town next to Okitipupa.

The day I found out that a 6 year old boy has never heard up Nepa! In his life, was the day I knew that there are levels to this suffering in Nigeria.

Igbokoda is sharing the same fate.

There are so many towns in Ondo State like that, Okitipupa is not an exception.

Hmmm
Op, don't say anything about what you know nothing about. I'm from Okitipupa. That's my home town. Our people caused what they are facing with electricity now. Back in the days, Okitipupa has the best electricity services in ondo state. They refused to pay for power. Then had a major issue with the then NEPA which forced the federal government to disconnect the entire town.
Fast forward to 6 months later, they had a major riot about the issue and thugs burnt all the transformers in the town, burnt all the NEPA offices in the town and even killed some staffs that year. After that, they were totally ignored.
Even now that electricity have been privatized. BEDC who is in charge of power in ondo state asked the people of the town to pay 50% of what they owe and they will help restore power to the town but they refused. Claiming they must see power before they pay any money. Now the town has no hope of ever having power cuz BEDC vowed not to spend millions of naira to restore all the damages if there is no guarantee that they will get their money back.
The governor cannot even intervene since electricity is now in private hands. We are facing a lot of issues with BEDC at the moment and that's down to the fact that the company is owned and controlled by some stupid Benin people.

The only SW oil producing state ooo. Let this be somewhere in SE and all the creeps will be all over the thread and this topic for don reach page 10.

CallmeGideon:
Wow I thought the whole of Yorubad land is like Dubai where you have sky scrappers and international standard schools all over the place. These the same fools will come online and make all sorts of rubbish noise on how their land is the best after agbalumo and they will ask us to hold our leaders responsible but yet, they can't even hold ordinary local government chairman responsible let alone a governor for turning their brown roof republic to a dark hell. Mumu people. mtcheeewww

Your Mumu is world class I swear!!

I am from Ilutitun Osooro and Okitipupa is our local government (L.G.A) I can tell you authoritatively that we've not had light in the whole of Ikale for 15years and not 12 years. Its so annoying when i go to that village and i hear the light has not been rectified and there have a representative in Senate and a governor in that State. I have told whoever cares to listen that they should not allow INEC to conduct any Election in that town just to show the seriousness of this issue. It baffles me that at this age and time there are places in Nigeria without Power supply.

You are doing theseame thing so swerve!

Come to DSC in Delta State.

yorubakid:

Most of them have left to lagos to do agbero work, leaving their towns to fulani herdsmen.. you will see them on nairlaand shouting sofitication while their towns are full of brown roofs and underdevelopment

Show us Ur own village or shut up!
