“We generate more than we consume presently. Aren’t we responsible for providing Power to our neighbors?”

“My friend works in Odukpani Power Plant in CRS,he says d Disco can only buy power frm 1 Turbine n d ve 4 of such Turbines. That is why d FG still pays GENCOs 4 lost energy.”

“Bubarists are celebrating this news. Let me burst your bubbles. Only Obasanjo spent 8 years in power in the period under review. Buhari has so far spent 7+ years in power. So he cannot glory for producing more than GEJ and Yar’Adua who spent far less time as presidents.”
@arinzemaduekwe said:

“I think you have production & consumption muddled up. PRODUCTION is measured in W, Consumption is in Wh.”

“What you are showing us is the GROWING consumption of power by Nigerians who are adding ACs, heaters and so on to the grid. Show us Production – power station by station.”

Chieftaincy dispute causes chaos in Muye village in Niger

By: Zagazola Makama

A renewed chieftaincy tussle in Muye village, Lapai Local Government Area of Niger State, has sparked violent confrontations between rival supporters, prompting swift intervention by security operatives.

Zagazola Makama gathered that the crisis began around 6:20 p.m. on Thursday when the deposed village head, Alhaji Mohammed Abdulkadir Maigari II, forcefully returned to Muye and broke into the palace.

The incident provoked tension among residents, especially after supporters of the current Dakachi confronted the deposed monarch. The situation was immediately brought under control by a team of security personnel from Lapai.

However, Zagazola learnt that the situation escalated on Friday morning when supporters of both camps clashed again, leading to a free-for-all fight that disrupted public peace in the community.

Security sources were swiftly deployed to Muye to restore normalcy.

“The combined security teams have brought the situation under control. Monitoring and surveillance operations are ongoing to prevent further breakdown of law and order,” the source said.

No casualties or arrests have been officially confirmed as of the time of filing this report.
