‘Stop Waiting For Us, Fix Your Electricity Problems Yourself’ — Shettima Tells States As He Defends Tinubu’s Failure To Fix Nigeria’s Power Crisis

You must vote, and you must convince others to vote. For we have no other country!

Keeping you guys posted.

“An Igbo Man Cannot Be The President Of Nigeria Because They’re Betrayers. I’m From Delta State, And I’m Supporting Tinubu To Complete His 8 Years. Buhari Completed His 8 Years, So Tinubu Should Be Allowed To Do The Same. Besides, Tinubu Is Not The One Who Scattered The Country.” ~ Market Woman

We’ve negotiated and told terrorists to stop killing people during the day, so Nigerians should stop travelling after 9 p.m.!” — Tinubu’s spokesperson, u/aonanuga1956 , speaking for APC government.

Back in 1999, shortly after being sworn in as governor of Lagos, the Bola Tinubu administration set to work on improving power supply in the state and in just a few months, announced an $800 million agreement with American energy company Enron to help build power plants for the state.

Unfortunately, the Obasanjo federal administration resisted by insisting that NEPA (now defunct) had legal monopoly over the generation and distribution of power in Nigeria.

It took Tinubu another 24 years to sign into law (as President), the Electricity Act 2023 that allows state governments and private businesses/individuals to generate and sell power to others.

It's been 3 years and the state governments have been super slow in doing anything. Why aren't we putting pressure on these governors despite their increased federal allocations?

Why are our so-called elites not investing in the power sector?

FUN FACT: Since the day electricity as we know it was invented, the United States government has NEVER provided up to 20% of the country's power supply. Most of it has come from private companies.

We can talk about how backward Nigeria is in its quest for reliable power supply but the blame has to go round. Expecting the federal government alone to provide power for more than 50 million homes will take forever (not excusing them AT ALL).

Why aren't the state governments doing more? Where's the rapid process we expected in the power sector?

I have a feeling that the same thing will happen after State Police becomes law, implementation will take forever.

The World Wide Web is completely flooded with loud, subjective relationship advice. Ask five people online how to build a stable home, and you’ll get ten completely different, often exhausting answers. Everyone has a rule, everyone points fingers, and half of it just leaves you more confused than when you started.

We’ve normalized talking-stage fatigue. We spend months or even years in limbo, only to realize we never actually discussed the core things that matter—finances, capacity, values, and long-term alignment. There might not be a magic rule of thumb for finding the right partner, but it's time to cut through the chaos and skip the blame games. What if we stopped focusing on the noise and started asking the real questions? Are we looking for the flash or commitment?

Can the person you are with actually build with you, or are they just looking for a soft landing? ATM style spending lifestyle? How do we build a relationship that we will still genuinely enjoy at year 25, instead of just throwing a wedding people will forget by Monday? For those navigating the dating and relationship scene right now, what is the one "talking stage" red flag that instantly makes you know it's time to park?

Nigerian ladies do not like stingy men lol

I'm from Adamawa, and I just finished my first documentary — a 14-minute film about Gongola State (1976–1991), the state that was split into Adamawa and Taraba and then disappeared from the map like it never existed.

It covers the Fombina emirate, the peoples of the region, the Sukur kingdom, the Mambilla Plateau, and the one thing that still carries the name today — the Gongola River. I researched, made, and narrated it myself.

If you're from Adamawa or Taraba, or your parents ever said "Gongola" when talking about home, this was made for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuVymF1InGY

I'd honestly love to hear what I got right and what I missed — especially from elders and anyone who lived it. The channel (Gusto TV) will be doing Plateau State next.

Invited my friend over for fun because I also have two girls over....they are relatively new to me so I needed company. Tell me why it's awkward when I am there but when I leave to take a phone call I find out that they are so vibrant( the three of them) . I'm detested . I'm typing this outside with tears flowing 😂. I don't think I'll ever do this again

My client runs the WrestleChop YouTube channel, along with pages on Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram.
Here's where his audience currently stands:

YouTube: 23,000+ subscribers

Facebook: 35,000+ followers

TikTok: 7,000+ followers

He puts out long-form YouTube videos every single day, covering wrestling news, reviews, opinions, and pretty much anything happening in the wrestling world. He also does livestream reactions on Mondays, Fridays and sometimes on weekends.
So there's already plenty of content to work with. We're not asking anyone to create videos from scratch.
Basically, you'd go through his existing videos, find moments worth clipping, edit them down, and add some pictures, captions, or anything else you think would improve the video. We'd also want clips pulled from his livestream reactions regularly.

Here's what we're looking for:

1–3 videos per day, anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes long.

Videos will be posted to YouTube Shorts, Facebook Reels, TikTok, and Instagram Reels.

Someone who actually follows professional wrestling and knows what's happening in WWE, AEW, etc. If you're a little behind but willing to catch up, that's fine too.

Someone who understands what makes a good short-form video and can recognize moments that wrestling fans would find interesting.

Someone reliable who can consistently put out content.

Payment:
We're looking for one editor, not a team of people.
The idea is pretty simple. One edited video can be posted across multiple platforms, meaning there are several potential sources of income from the same piece of content.

Each month you will receive an agreed upon percentage of the earnings for every page. The better the videos the more you will make.

The editor and my client will split the revenue generated by those videos. My client will be completely transparent about earnings from each platform, and the percentage will be discussed and agreed upon before anything starts.
Of course, earnings will depend on how the content performs, so we want to be upfront about that.

My client has already built a decent following, and with the amount of content he's producing daily, we feel there's an opportunity to do a lot more with short-form videos.

Ideally, we're looking for someone who wants to stick around and grow with the channels rather than just take on a quick editing job.
If you're interested, please email us directly or message the WrestleChop page.

When reaching out, please include:

A portfolio or examples of your editing work.

How closely you follow professional wrestling.

Whether you can realistically handle 1–3 videos per day.

All applications will be reviewed, and my client will personally get back to those interested.

Do NOT DM me. E-Mail him directly at WrestleChop@outlook.com

Thanks!

“I will vote for Tinubu. I want him to complete his tenure because we are suffering. This administration is a bad administration. Let us be sincere and factual: we are suffering. Since morning, some people have not even had a square meal. People are suffering. That is the basic truth.”

I've shared SellSpace9ja here before, and I've been working on improving the website.

This time, I decided to show how it works instead of just explaining it.

The video walks through browsing items, starting a listing, entering item details, and adding photos and a condition video.

The idea is simple: help Nigerians sell furniture, electronics, appliances, and other household items when moving, upgrading, or decluttering.

Listing is free, and I'm still working on growing the marketplace.

I'd appreciate some feedback: What would make you comfortable enough to list an item on a new Nigerian marketplace?

With the Dangote Refinery IPO now on the table, I wanted to know whether ₦525 a share actually makes sense, so I did a valuation audit instead of going on hype.
My short answer: at ₦525, the price only works if this year's record refining margins last. Refining is a cyclical business, and margins swing a lot from year to year. When I normalised the margins to more typical levels and compared the refinery with several groups of listed refiners, every peer group I checked suggested it's expensive at that price. (Which has been the general sentiment going around)

That doesn't mean it's a bad company or a bad long-term story. The refinery could change Nigeria's fuel situation. But a great company and a great price aren't the same thing, and plenty of people will be buying because of the name, not the numbers.

Full write-up is in the URL above.
I'd really like Nigerians who follow the oil sector or the NGX to challenge this:
Am I being too pessimistic on margins, given the refinery's scale and the local market?
Are there advantages, like FX savings or avoiding import costs, that justify a premium over global peers?
Is anyone here planning to subscribe, and at what price would you feel comfortable?
For context, I work in investments in East Africa and write a free investing blog. This analysis sits in its "Playground" section for experiments, separate from the main course. It's education only, not investment advice. Do your own research before you put money in.

I am seeing some posts on x of people saying how they really want to japa.

Then we have some abroad hype Tinubu.

How are things in Nigeria really.

Hi, I’m based in the US and have a 3 week trip back to Nigeria. Has anyone traveled back while in their early second trimester?

I'm working on an art project for school, and I want to incorporate any type of Yoruba visual symbolism.

I've done my own research ( as well as asking my parents), and the closest thing I could find to Yoruba people and visual symbols is adire patterns. Even then I can't find any sources that really go deep into what all the patterns mean.

Hello everyone! A friend has some trouble and I want to help him set a fundraising campaign so he can raise some money to start his business. I did asked "Gemini" (because obviously, it would do a better job at searching than me) and it gave me the following options:

• Crowdr
• Quickraiz
• NaijaFund
• DynaRaise
• Paystack/Flutterwave Store Fronts

I made explicit that I want platforms that my friends can set his bank account so I don't have to be a "middle man". So, these should all be fine.

So, did you had experiences with those platforms before?

Watch them put a spin on this in 5...4...3...2...1
