CNPP, Civil Society Groups Demand Resignation Of Minister Of Power - Politics

Image
  The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties, CNPP, and the Coalition of National Civil Society Organisations, CNCSOs, have jointly called for the immediate resignation of Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adelabu Adebayo, citing incompetence and failure to address the country’s ongoing electricity crisis. In a statement jointly issued by James Ezema, Deputy National Publicity Secretary of CNPP, and Alhaji Ali Abacha, National Secretary of CNCSOs, on Sunday, the coalition criticized Minister Adelabu’s tenure, describing him as “a round peg in a square hole.” The groups argued that the Minister lacks the capacity to effectively manage the power sector, pointing to persistent electricity shortages that have plagued the country for decades. According to the coalition, over 40% of Nigerians remain without access to electricity, while those connected to the national grid endure inconsistent power supply ranging between 2,000MW and 4,000MW—figures that have stagnated since the...

  Nasir el-Rufai: The Bloodlust Of A Presidential Wannabe, By Chidi Anselm Odinkalu. In the week in which former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai abandoned the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to chart a different political trajectory with the Social Democratic Party (SDP), his son, Bashir, characteristically made it known that “Southern Kaduna residents will keep seeing sheghe if they continue to attack indigenous Fulani herdsmen.” Three things about this, among many, were chilling. One is the absence of any interest in addressing the underlying problem of coexistence between communities. The second is the enthusiastic investment in violence. The third is the indiscriminate nature of the promised violence. This was not the first time that an outburst of candour from the el-rufai clan was laced with unconcealed thirst for human blood. In January 2019, as the country prepared to go to the polls in a presidential election the following month, the administrati...

  🇺🇸 President Trump said Sunday he’s “not joking” about serving a possible third term, marking the second time in less than three weeks that he’s floated the idea. “I’m hearing — you don’t sound like you’re joking.

Lagos Deserves Its 37 New Local Government Areas - Aseperi-Shonibar - Politics

Image
  By Prince Adeyemi Aseperi-Shonibare "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." — Martin Luther King Jr. For over two decades, Lagos State has been unjustly denied the recognition of 37 additional local governments, which were legally created under the Nigerian Constitution. This is not a political maneuver—it is a legitimate demand for fairness, equity, and justice. The continuous refusal of the Federal Government and the National Assembly to rectify this anomaly is a clear case of injustice, and as the saying goes, justice delayed is justice denied. THE CREATION OF 37 LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT DENIED In 2003, then-Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in strict adherence to constitutional provisions, initiated the process of creating new local governments in Lagos. A referendum was conducted, all necessary legal procedures were followed, and the Lagos State House of Assembly passed the law establishing these local governments in accordance wi...

Frank Edoho Earned N156 Million On 'who Wants To Be A Millionaire'

Image
  Frank Edoho, former host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire made a fortune in the 13 years he hosted the family reality game show. His pay made him smile to the bank and also catapulted him to the league of millionaires. It was revealed that he was paid a million naira monthly, making a total of N156 million for the 13 years he hosted the show. Contrary to tales making the rounds that Frank Edoho demanded more money from the organisers of the show, encomium.ng can authoritatively state that his exit was on mutual. Information pieced together by encomium.ng revealed that Frank Edoho opted out because he wanted to move on to greater things already catching his fancy while WWTBAM was rested, hence his refusal to resume as the host of season 14. We also gathered that the organisers and Frank Edoho are still enjoying good rapport and he would part take in the process that would unveil a new host in no distant time http://www.tunezmedia.com/2017/09/frank-edoho-earned-n156-mil...

Petrol Price Volatility Plunges Marketers To ₦‎200 Billion Losses In Six Months - Politics

Image
  Marketers of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) petrol have lost N200billion in six months owing to the volatility of prices. Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), National Public Relations Officer, Chief Chinedu Ukadike made this known to The Nation yesterday. His words: “The fluctuations have led to persistent losses for marketers especially as prices have trended downwards recently. Marketers have lost over N200bn in the last 6 months due to price volatility.” The losses, he said, have resulted in depletion of the number of active traders from 70 marketers in September 2024 to less than 30 in March this year. Ukadike noted that competition in the market has crashed the price. “This has narrowed down the number of players trading products in bulk. Active bulk traders have reduced from over 70 marketers in September 2024 to less than 30 in March 2025. ” Prices to retailers have been relatively low due to competition.” The spokesman was, however, wor...
