Power drops to 2,620 megawatts

Millions of Nigerians had their Easter celebrations in darkness as power generation yesterday dropped further to 2,620 megawatts.
 While focus has been on the fuel shortages, it appears Nigerians have taken for granted the daily drop in power outages, without explanation by the supervisory agencies.
 Electric got 393.14MW, Abuja was allocated 301.40MW, Eko Electricity Distribution Company got 288.30MW, Benin Electricity Company and Enugu Electricity Company got 235.88 each. Allocation to other distribution companies are as follows: Ibadan, 340.72MW, Jos, 144.15MW, Kano, 209.67 MW, Kaduna, 209.67MW, Port Harcourt, 170.36MW and Yola, 91.73MW. While focus has been on fuel scarcity for some time now, power generation has continued to drop without any cogent reason from the supervising agencies.

El-Rufai Send Christian Communities In Kaduna Packing, Demolished Churches And Orphanages.

Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai

Christians in Gbagyi Villa, a 100% Christian community in Kaduna State has come out on Tuesday, 29th March, 2016 to stage a protest against the tyranny and the persecution of the Kaduna State APC governor, Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai; who has marked all their buildings including all the churches in their community for demolition.
After the marking El-Rufai has given the Christian community 21 days ultimatum to remove their buildings or he will demolish those buildings and the owner of the buildings will pay the state government for the demolition exercise. He hinged his order on a false allegation that the people don’t have planning permit. Whereas, most of them came out with their planning permit as well as their receipts of payments.
 Reporters at the scene of the protest could not control theirs tears as some women were seen rolling on the ground screaming “Is it a crime to be a Christian in Kaduna under APC now? El-Rufai leave us alone.”

Another group of Christian women were also chanting, “El-Rufai, leave us alone, El-Rufai, leave us alone.”
Old women were not left out. They also stormed the protest venue to join the protest.
A very old woman who spoke in Hausa language screamed in Hausa.
 This is the interpretation of her agony:
“If El-Rufai is ready to crush our only hope, which is the buildings that our husbands have left for us, then it is better we die on the road protesting than wait for El-Rufai to come and pull down our buildings just because we are Christians.”
“What are other Christian bodies doing to rescue us?” She asked in tears.
Shelter in Christ Orphanage Home for children also stormed the street crying “El-Rufai, what did we do? Why do you want to demolish our only building? Christians all over, talk to El-Rufai.
El-Rufai want to kill us”
