No Community Should Be Asked To Pay For Transformers, Cables, Poles -Minister Warns Discos

Published

on


“It is the responsibility of the distribution companies to provide transformers, cables and poles to communities so that power supply can improve.

“A situation where communities buy transformers, cables and poles must stop. I know that you have these centers but how effective are they to ensure that customer complaints are attended to?

“As a minister, I don’t want to hear news of communities being asked to purchase electric transformers, cables and poles. If the consumers are paying for the electricity, then it is the responsibility of the distribution companies to provide these items.

“There must be improvement in power supply. That is what the government planned to do. People should not pay for darkness. When people have a 24-hour power supply, they can pay double for electricity because you have saved them the money to power generators.

“We don’t want to hear the news of communities buying transformers, cables and poles for themselves again. The federal government frowns at it. You see what we have done in Kaduna. Service to our people is paramount. It is the responsibility that Mr. President has placed on us. You are not number one, two or three, you are struggling to be number four on the rating.” -Adebayo Adelabu, Power Minister At Meeting With IEDC Mgt

“Igbo Presidency Will Happen, But Not in 2027” — David Umahi

Published

on

Minister of Works and former Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has called for unity and strategic political engagement from the Southeast, saying the region must be patient and wise in its approach to national leadership.

“Let’s not be deceived. For a stronger relationship with this administration, the Southeast must give Mr. President up to 90% support,” he said.

Umahi stressed that the dream of an Igbo presidency is very much alive, but cautioned that 2027 is not the time. He called on Southeast leaders and citizens to reject divisive politics and misinformation.

“We can’t be playing the politics of hate and expect other regions to trust us with power. Let’s support the President to complete his 8 years — every region is benefitting.”

He reaffirmed his belief that with unity, God’s help, and strategic alliances, the Southeast will eventually lead the nation.

“One day, we’ll get there. But not now. And I won’t stop speaking against any attempt to mislead our people.”

Umahi also praised the South East Governors for their efforts and urged the people to rally behind them and the President as they serve their second terms.

Pastor Adeboye Bans Braids and Heavy Makeup for RCCG Clergy

Published

on

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has openly criticized clergymen who wear braided hair and clergywomen who use false eyelashes and heavy makeup. During the church’s recent annual convention, he announced that these trends among church workers would no longer be accepted.

“In Yorubaland, the only men who braid their hair are Sango priests, the god of thunder,” Adeboye remarked. “Some say this is a new age, and we must adapt to modern trends, but not in this mission. Even after I’m gone, this will not be allowed.”

He made it clear that any pastor, particularly female pastors, who appears overly made up like a Nollywood star would be removed from the altar. “You may not like it, but if you are my children, you can’t defy me. Real men don’t wear makeup because they believe God made no mistakes in their creation.”

Adeboye further questioned the use of false nails, stating, “When you begin to fix false nails, I wonder what you are trying to achieve. If God wanted to make you a bird, He would have given you false nails and eyelashes.”

He urged those who take pleasure in unconventional appearances to repent and embrace modesty. “You can quote me on this: If anyone questions why you are making these changes, tell them, ‘Daddy GO said so,'” he concluded.
