Former National Chairman of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change , Prince Tony Momoh , in this interview with LEKE BAIYEWU , talks about his childhood as an Auchi , Edo State prince ; and his career as a teacher and a journalist who rose to become an editor and manager at the Daily Times .

Looking back in retrospect, would you say you are fulfilled in life ?

Oh yes! I am fully fulfilled because nothing happens by accident. Everybody should bear responsibility for whatever they do. What you do at any time is a sowing of seeds , which will grow and ripen for your harvest . So , everything happening to you at any time is a harvest of what you did before, which bore fruit that you are reaping .
As the 165 th child of King Momoh I of Auchi , Edo State , how would you describe your childhood in the palace ?
We grew up in a family of seven compounds and the compounds were headed by women . The most senior wives of our father headed the compounds; the youngest wives lived with them while the middle - level wives lived on their own .
So the wives were graded?
Yes . My mother was one of the youngest ones and she lived in the compound whose male head was Kessington Momoh , who was the most popular politician in the Momoh family and was an Action Group minister who followed ( late Chief Obafemi ) Awolowo.

All of us in the compound, growing up , knew all the women – about 48 of them – to be our mothers. We couldn ’t differentiate between the women . Every woman in my father ’s house was a mother to every child in my father ’s house . Every six months , they ( the wives) took an oath not to do anything to undermine the husband , the children or one another .

Was the oath traditional or with the Bible or the Quran?

It was a traditional oath .

Was that the religion of the family?

No . Between 1921 and 1926 , my father , as the district head of Kukuruku Division , spread Islam far and wide . But this oath was istered internally in the palace. We were told and we grew up to believe that if you did anything to undermine your brother , you would drop dead . Doing ‘anything ’ include thinking evil of the person, going to another person to prepare anything to undermine someone or even speaking evil of the person. Therefore , that followed us in life . I have never done anything to harm anybody by going to someone to prepare ‘juju ’ for me to undermine anybody . Since I started journalism and writing in 1962 , I have written thousands of pieces, I have never used a curse word on anybody . Never! I have never been taken up for libel because I undermined anybody . We all grew up to honour women because women , in the knowledge in which I stand now, are spiritually higher than men and they should be respected , honoured and protected .

During the oath -taking period , was there any instance where a member of the family suffered or died for plotting evil against another member of the family?
How would I know ? People were dying every day and people were being born every day . At the end of the day , my father had about 48 wives and 257 children between 1903 and 1944 . I wouldn ’t know if anybody had evil thoughts about anybody and dropped dead . Incidentally , there was a clear case , which would point to the direction of the question you asked . Two of our brothers belonged to different groups , struggling for a political position . And they had people from the family who were ing them and it, therefore , brought bad blood among them . Whether you believe it or not, there was a way our father was always intervening . If there was anything wrong with the family, he would ask that the family’s posterity be put back on track. Those brothers died one after the other and many of their followers in town died terrible deaths

• Nigeria’s among OPEC’s most expensive petrol products
• Sixth highest electricity tariff in Africa
• ‘It’ll soon be cheaper to import sachet water than
to produce’
• Nigerians blame poor power supply on regulatory lapses, others
•NUEE, NECA canvass metering consumers before tariff review
With tariff hikes in two key sectors, Nigeria is among the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) having the most expensive petroleum products and the sixth-highest energy cost in Africa.


According to official data sourced from GlobalPetrolPrices.com and analysed by The Guardian yesterday, only citizens of Ecuador, Congo, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates would henceforth spend more on the motor spirit (PMS) than those of Nigeria in the OPEC community.

The product is at least 20 times and six times costlier in Nigeria than in Venezuela and Iran respectively. It is also three times more expensive in the country than it is in Sudan, another Africa’s oil-producing country. In Angola, a country declared as one of the most expensive countries to live, PMS is about 50 percent cheaper than in Nigeria.

With automotive gas oil (AGO), otherwise known as diesel, selling for about N220, the cost of the product is about 50 percent lower than the global average. Yet, AGO is much more expensive in Nigeria than in most of the country’s OPEC peers. The cost of the product in Angola, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan is 75 percent lower than in Nigeria.

Businesses in other OPEC such as Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, Qatar, and Kuwait also spend far less on AGO than their counterparts in Nigeria. Egypt, Ethiopia, and Tunisia are among Africa’s leading economies where AGO is cheaper than in Nigeria, a leading oil producer.


From data supplied by the platform, the recently doubled cost of electricity has pushed Nigeria up the cost radar as one of the African countries with the most expensive energy. Whereas the average global cost of electricity is N55.36 and N49.71, for kilowatt units of energy per hour (kWh) for households and businesses respectively, Nigeria’s consumers will henceforth pay as much as N62 kWh.

Consumers in Ghana, whose industrial sector seems to have been positioned to compete for Nigeria’s market, are charged N24.5 kWh on average. Besides its efficiency advantage, South Africa, Nigeria’s strongest continental competitor, provides its citizens with cheaper energy than Nigeria does.

Considering the new charges, Nigeria can only pull ahead of Kenya and other fringe economies such as Togo, Burkina Faso, Gabon, and Cape Verde in the continent’s race to achieving energy cost competitiveness.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, at a press conference held in Abuja on Monday, said: “Despite the recent increase in the price of fuel to N162 per litre, petrol prices in Nigeria remain the lowest in the West/Central African sub-region.”


HOWEVER, the minister and his colleagues, who ed him in the briefing, did not draw a comparison between the cost of PMS in Nigeria and other traditional oil-producing countries.

The Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) may have also realised that its initial insistence that pump price is adjusted in line with the direction of the international market is no longer tenable.

On Wednesday, the agency retracted its earlier position, saying there was no relationship between prices of crude oil in the international market and the pump price of petroleum products in Nigeria, a statement many have described as contradictory.

Six-month data analysed by The Guardian have shown that the PMS official price adjustment is not consistent with crude prices.

A three-month moving average of the leading blends during the recent recovery was altered last week, as prices turned southwards. As of yesterday, the average price of the top three blends — WTI, Brent, and Bonny Light — was $39.61.


A month ago, its average price was $40.63; while, on July 10, it stood at $40.86. The market has returned to the somber lockdown prices when PMS was pegged at N121.50.

The rising cost of energy is a source of worry to development and growth experts. Director-General, Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Muda Yusuf, told The Guardian that this would worsen the plight of the manufacturing sector, whose contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP) is less than 10 per cent. He noted that the unbearable cost of energy was part of the reason the sector remained uncompetitive.

“For rapid industrialisation, the manufacturing sector should not only serve the domestic market but also the regional and global market. Check out all the countries that have industrialised; they have not limited their industrial sectors to the domestic market. They play global. But you cannot do that if you are not competitive,” Yusuf said.

Bala Zakka, an energy economist, who kicked against the deregulation of the energy sector, said the rising energy cost would discourage the production and increase unemployment. He said there was a direct relationship between energy cost and the vibrancy of local production, warning that Nigeria could not afford the consequences of deregulation.


He said: “When energy cost is high, the unit cost of production will also be high. When that happens, the local industries will not be competitive. We must be very careful; otherwise, we will create a hostile business climate. If we continue this way, it will soon be cheaper to import sachet water than to produce here.

“Deregulation will not increase efficiency; it will rather produce speculative investors. If everybody can import as suggested by deregulation, why would they waste their time going into production?”
SPEAKING on tariff hikes, especially the increase in electricity consumption cost amid poor supply, Nigerians are worried that the regulatory framework may have been hijacked from the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).

They noted that NERC, as a regulator, had been docile in discharging its responsibilities to Nigerians, as industry players violated rules at will.

They described the issue as a double tragedy for the masses, following additional increase in fuel pump price.


They said it was a “wicked approach” for the government to have increased prices of such essential commodities when citizens were still struggling to feed their families and make a living amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) called on operators, regulatory bodies, and agencies in the Nigerian electricity supply industry (NESI) to immediately meter all consumers and comply with rules of engagement, before compliance with the government’s directives.

Secretary-General of the NUEE, Joe Ajaero, canvassed a more humane review that would reflect Nigeria’s economic realities. Ajaero, who spoke on the socio-economic and political wellbeing of Nigerians, described the present tariff hike as ill-timed and a public disaster.

He said since the privatisation of the industry on November 1, 2013, the total available power for consumption had hovered between 3,000MW and 4,500MW, which remained a child’s play when compared to the country’s need.


He listed Nigeria among countries with “chronic power poverty,” noting that, in other climes, citizens were granted tariff holidays to cushion effects of the pandemic.

“Against the union’s position, it is unheard of that the process of privatisation could be contemplated and implemented without properly metering electricity consumers nationwide. How would the seller of any commodity not have a proper measuring device to measure its product?

“The tariff review is not commensurate with an increase in salary or adjustment, as previous increases failed to address this anomaly. Tariff increases do not guarantee efficient service delivery,” he said.

He also argued that the current increase in tariff was not cost-reflective, as Nigerians had been compelled to pay more for power not consumed through estimated billing.


He advised operators to rather consider service-based tariffs, which would be a direct reflection of the number of hours power was supplied to a consumer.

Director-General of NECA, Timothy Olawale, told The Guardian that, if electricity were provided, consumers would not challenge the payment of cost-reflective tariffs.

Given the current economic realities, he said, resolving salient power issues would be a major step to reviving the economy and returning it to steady growth.

He maintained that the major sore point for organised businesses and consumers was the incidence of estimated billing, which had pitched the DisCos against consumers.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) is considering the next line of action regarding electricity and fuel price hikes.

NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, condemned the “deaf and dumb” posture of NERC, urging it to take decisive action on DisCos’ plans to implement the new tariff, as previous hikes had been trailed by a huge leap into hours of darkness, non-metering of consumers, and exponential rise in incidences of estimated billing.

The TUC President, Quadri Olaleye, noted that increasing petroleum pump prices and electricity tariffs at a time people were losing jobs, and when businesses were adversely affected by COVID-19, was a wicked step.

Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has called on northern traditional rulers not to relent in spearheading the campaigns to avoid the spread of coronavirus pandemic in the region, stressing that the cost of treating COVID-19 patients is very expensive.

The governor who made the call on Monday at the executive committee meeting of the traditional rulers chaired by the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, noted that it costs about N400,000 to treat one COVID-19 patient

Gov El-Rufai addresses traditional rulers in Kaduna, urging them to lead sensitization campaign on spread of virus.

While noting that traditional rulers have critical roles to play in ensuring that people at the grassroots adhere to government’s directives as part of measures to curb the spread of the deadly coronavirus and other diseases, El-Rufai told the customary leader that treating the infected is digging a big hole in the government’s coffers.

He, however, said that the challenges in the treatment of the pandemic make it imperative that people desist from activities that will promote the spread of the virus in the northern region and the country at large.


Traditional rulers from the nineteen northern States met in Kaduna on Monday to discuss the security and socio-economic challenges confronting the region particularly in the southern part of the state.

The meeting was chaired by the Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar.

In his remarks, the Sultan of Sokoto while describing the killings in Southern Kaduna as total madness, said the time has come for all stakeholders including government and traditional rulers to rise up and find solutions to the lingering crises.

Following ongoing reactions trailing the hike in the price of fuel across the country, a former lawmaker Shehu Sani who represented Kanuda Central in the eighth Senate has revealed why Nigerians did not hit the street in protest against the development .

Vanguard learnt that in what came in as a surprise to Nigerians, Pipelines and Product Marketing Company ( PPMC ) announced that the price of motor spirit popularly known as petrol has been increased to N 151 . 56 per litre .
The development came barely five months after the pump price of motor spirit was reduced to N 123 per litre by the federal government, with the disclosure made in a memo released by PPMC .

In response , Shehu Sani described Nigerians' less - aggressive response to increase in fuel price as indifference .
According to him, Nigerians did not protest the fuel price as they did in 2012 because they were waiting for people to protest for them.

" Everybody is waiting for somebody to protest and there is nobody , " the former lawmaker said in a tweet .

past questions please!

Let's goo....!

sacajawea:
One said it was a sheer waste of time and Money for him especially as a Nigerian. The other said after analysing everything he decided to quit but may go back later when he is Stable, in a different field.
One is Economics, the other is computer electrical Engineering, And they were both above 4.0
The first one was very brazen about it. He said he would only attend a Private Nigerian University for Connection and Business reasons or School abroad. He said he was on an almost Perfect CGPA and was deliberately failed repeatedly. The politics in the Department and faculty even amongst his Classmates, religion in school, Poor expensive Hostel life and living conditions, Crazy students behavior, the Job uncertainty etc. Made him leave. He doesn't regret it one bit.
Same goes for the 2nd one but health and Financial problems, the toxic, corrupt enviroment and Depression contributed to his. He felt he was not learning anything particularly useful.
Financially they are alright, better than most graduates actually. They are not rich or upper middle class, but they are Alright.
I did not even know they were dropouts until today.

That may not be the whole truth. It's possible those guys have issues regarding their ission process.
The only way to free themselves is to cook up stories
