Lmaoooo I have not had light for 1-2 months without solar setup I will soon remove @EKEDP rubbish from my apartment...I just need to stabilize income again
The light situation is problematic, just 1 hour of light for the past 4 days. We have to rely on solar everyday. What a shithole we're in.

If power decentralization must work, we must either cancel these disco contracts or hand over federal ownership of the disco shares to states. Cos embedded/independent power won’t work with Discos who are unwilling to let it work and, who can’t be properly disciplined by states.

This was 23hours ago before someone says it’s just a one off thing. Minister is not saying anything, @NERCNG is not saying anything @TCN_NIGERIA too is unlooking.

Power has been so horrible in the last few weeks. If you call @NERCNG , they’ll tell you to call @lasercng . But see what @EKEDP & @IkejaElectric are currently getting from the grid. See total ffs!!! This Admin has totally failed on power, situation is worse than 2023.

"My viewpoint is that even without subsidy, can Discos deliver constant power" No they can't, but that doesn't mean anything. Even if they got a gorillion dollars today, it still takes years to build out a grid.

Replying to @ScholarChefD
“Marry now, don’t wait till you’re financially secure” “Marriage brings blessings” “Start from somewhere.” “When are you bringing a wife” They now use a few exceptions to validate their point. Whereas statistics are saying otherwise. Is it not better to be childless than to give birth to a child like this? When you marry without financial stability, you will have children that will resent you. Never yield to any damn pressure till finances are sorted. The world is brutal to men already. Just look at this mess.

These midterm results are making me angry about the Nigerian situation. A United opposition and we have Amoda and his APC crooks properly fried before 12 noon on January 16. In February APC should probably win just 3 Governorship seats But here we are.

In 1914, the world was like a person entering a mysterious dark and deep tunnel. That person came out in 1945 into a completely different world. Different borders. Different Empires. Different technologies. Different institutions. Different ideas about how society should work. We have entered a similar tunnel once again. Maybe we entered it in March 2020 with COVID. Maybe February 2022 with Russia invading Ukraine. Maybe the real entrance was GPT 4 in 2023. But at some point, the old world ended. We’re still inside the tunnel now. AI, robotics, demographic collapse, war, autonomous vehicles, biotech, the compute explosion, new energy, migration, collapsing institutions, all of it is happening at once and they are feeding off each other. We have absolutely no idea what the world looks like when we come out the other side. Maybe that’s 2035. Maybe 2049. But the biggest mistake you can make right now is assuming the 2030s and 2040s will look like slightly upgraded versions of today. They definitely won’t. Anyway this is a very long way of saying I am bringing back my substack. I will usually drop at least one, maybe two long reads per week, around my various thoughts on the current intelligence revolution and the broader societal and cultural reorganization happening. I will focus mostly on Asia and North America, I will connect varied threads to each other, and I'll largely write as I do here, pretty bluntly. Anyway if you're down the link is in the below thread.

The Long 2016 is over, but you may miss it in a few years, AI by 2028 will be the central fracture and dominant theme of American politics, and this will IMO likely last until the late 2040s. Normal Politics is over. You are living in unprecedented times anon.
As my friend @okaythenfuture has said, MAGA and Trump are truly over. Trump is also blaming the GOP candidates for losing so they now have no loyalty to him.

It’s time to start playing Shea Lacey over Amad. Amad is no longer Hungry. He now has enough money to feed his family back in Cote D’Ivoire.

Kojoli’s 2027 campaign strategy na low-cost approach. Stay for parlour, dey issue press releases to heat up the polity, and drop articles on X back-to-back to keep the conversation going. For a campaign grappling with a paucity of funds, this is quite an effective strategy.

Even funnier is that he did this before the 2023 elections when he released a damning letter to take down Obi and his movement, and was rewarded with yet another term in office.
Who voted for him to be two term governor ?

It's not anybody's fault if people choose not to have sense and act stupidly towards their family members because of something they were told on the internet o.
Morris is right btw. But then, same should also be directed to everyone who pushed for the “burning of bridges with any one linked with APC”. I’m tagging everyone who jumped on the timeline to drag, bully, and mock Timi Dakolo for saying "Don't make enemies because of politics." You knew FULL WELL he was right, cos you practice it yourselves, having friends, pals and relatives connected to the "evil" you supposedly fight against, while refusing to make them your enemies. Two contradictory stances cannot simultaneously hold true, either Timi Dakolo was WRONG and Morris should make an enemy out of his Brother, OR Timi Dakolo was right and everyone who dragged him for it are hypocrites. @Admiral_Cyborg @_Ojonya @thefashygram @Being_Adaa @_Nsznn @EmodiMba @SavvyRinu @ThaBoyYom @SadiqMaunde @InibeheEffiong @klintoncod @MrMekzy_ @MarinatedTurks @Philopearl_Afc @yankeeplug_ @AfamDeluxo @Wizarab10

No. I’ve not. What are you going to do about it? We are two completely different souls just sharing same blood. But what are you going to do about it? I’m curious. Davido did his runway last 2 years Sanwo-Olu did his runway this year Probably Tony Elumelu will do his runway next year. What are you going to do about it?

Those Gbakanbi supporters on that podcast did a better job explaining his performance in the past three years than his entire media team.

It’s an issue of underinvestment. The grid is simply not good What the final user pays is a small portion of it commercial end users that would love to pay the grid instead of generating their own The retail side dominates the convo but their relative impact is marginal
The issue of electricity is an issue of poverty. The Nigerian state CANNOT afford to pay subsidy on constant electricity, so they provide only what they can afford. It’s actually that simple. For example, if we increased our generation capacity to 50,000 megawatts TODAY, we CANNOT pay for it. In fact, those payments would likely bankrupt the country. That’s why I’m looking forward to the removal of energy subsidy after Tinubu wins.

Simple There's nothing anybody can do!!! You recognize and respect your brother's right to be his own person and have his own opinions. You acknowledge the fact that he is a completely different person from you, anybody that doesn't get that, in their own family is the idiot.

Saying it is bear market is pure cope. Crypto is no longer palatable or interesting to anyone. Retail has been räped nonstop on Pumpfun. The best talents have left for AI and other ventures. Everything is getting hacked by North Korea. The only thing people out there read about crypto is the hacks and scams. Sentiment at all time low and is worse than LUNA/Celsius and FTX implosion. When was the last time you heard a random dude got lucky and hit a 100x? The average gambler will rather cook a parlay than buy memes. Crypto native whales are no longer aping into memes.
is the concept of bear markets alien to y'all?
