Same in my area at Igeshu Ayobo Alimosho area of Lagos state,can you imagine the PHCN agreed with the community to purchase a refurbished transformer that cost #9M and charging us with accessories to connect for #11M.A small community with total building not up to 70 houses.Presently,each building is subject to pay #100k each.Alimosho both federal and state house should please come to our aid,this is one of your responsibility why you represent us, it's not ideal for community to purchase a transformer and PHCN later come with bills.
NaijaSumigan:
Same thing going on at Adamo... Caleb University situated at Ikorodu is also affected.

Can you imagine such nonsense from this Phcn people, leaving people in darkness for months without consideration and then they say politicians are wicked.

Can someone be sacked for this negligence immediately.

That's why this country is a scam. Where I stay along the same Ikorodu, it's 23hrs 30 mins constant light and sometimes, it's 24 hours at a stretch, and we're in band D.

you make your self sound so horrible in an attempt to make sense…silence can be golden sometimes not rushing to comment without having a tangible thing to say,Lagos state government at any point is 50yrras ahead of where ever you come from in Nigeria.

Lagos is 50years head of every state u think of. See your mouth, as if you are adding any economic value to Lagos.

Oga Lagos is a metropolitan state, all other states have their citizens invested in Lagos, hence if they pullout from Lagos, that your poor state you hail from will even be better than Lagos. Know this and have peace!!

I have told you accept the truth and have peace.
You make so much noise of owning Lagos, whereas no economic value u bring to the state. Upto 89% businesses in Lagos isn't u, taxes U no dey pay, better house u no dey leave, upto 72% houses in Lakki, Banana island are owned from non-indigenes. Value added to Lagos u are barely found.

Ebgon mi, ejuo! I must reiterate to you Lagos is a metropolitan and cosmopolitan state. Let me break it down for you, Lagos is a big open state made and developed by majorly Yoruba, Igbo, and Europeans/Asians.

I'm not here to define which tribe, only to educate YOU.
Know this and have peace, unlearn whatever thing u learnt out of envy.

OSHE gon!! Have a nice day bro.

But walahi I miss Lagos o, enjoyed that state those years in Nigeria, with my best guys Tayo and Adeyemi na so we go dey club every Friday for Quilox and RanDulf clubs. grin cheesy cheesy

How people can live in that environment without electricity for five months is beyond me to comprehend. I was in Lagos recently and there was power outage for four days, to me, it was unbearable despite the fact that I had solar. The heat plus mosquitoes, if this is not synonymous to hell, I don't know what is.
Practically everything we do these days need electricity.
This persistent power outages will never make the news, rather everything on the news is Politics, house of Senate, House of rep, PDP, APC bla bla.
Only recently there was power outage in Portugal and some parts of Spain and it was all over the news worldwide. ARE WE SUBHUMAN OR WHAT ?
We have been conditioned to suffering and living a subsistence life that we now take as norm. The problem here is when another election cycle comes around the politicians will throw bread crumbs to the masses and they in turn will do their bidding. What a country.

Conditioning of the mind. If you cage a human and feed him like a dog long enough, he starts thinking like one, now imagine if his offspring meet the same condition. Any new information contrary to thier new reality becomes a lie or wishful thinking.

That's the short story of the Nigerian Masses.
