Beating Covid-19 in Rivers State Nigeria.

Parts of Port Harcourt, in Rivers State Nigeria are already"enjoying" Total- Lockdown or  is it 24Hours Curfew,for over a week now - for the rest of  the good folks of Port Harcourt City and the  Obio-Apkor LGA's (Local Councils) about to join us on Thursday 7th May 2020- Welcome!

Guess it's not easy for everyone including the Government at this time, however we all need to now make this sacrifices now and stay at home to help contain the virus from spreading further and hopefully soon and gradually, life can start returning back to normal.



So am guessing you probably already stocking up on food stuffs, drinking water,etc  since the lockdown is not a definite one like those in Lagos & Abuja that's now just been eased,starting today. 4th May 2020.

Here's some heads-up, buy "Fuel" , whether its petrol,diesel,kerosene or what ever your private power generation station aka Generator runs on, - top it up and ONLY! if you can safely store,then you probably should get enough to last you another week,if you can't safely store,just top up your electric Generator,and hope for the best.

(Warning do not store flammable liquids unsafely)



Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED) just might surprise you seriously,if they are not already surprising you..

PHED  has been acting crazy before a Lock-down was imposed on our part of the city,so one would expect since we trapped in 24/7, they should at least not make the lock down any more unpleasant with too many frequent &long power outages.

No PHED, they have gone from crazy  to full Craze! 🥴 now that they know we are on a 24hours lockdown.

Anyway just "be Prepared" it might be just 3days lockdown or a 3weeks lockdown who knows, it's not fun trying to sweet talk police & army men at different roadblocks, just because you need to go out and buy a basic necessity like fuel.

Its A Matter of Cash

On the 20th of Jan 2009, i watched on as million and millions of Americans all celebrated one thing HOPE!, and change that lies in horizon, and from my room I wondered will our home land Nigeria ever have something to celebrate about, even if its just change, a change in the right direction. Below is an article written in response to CNN's NIGER DELTA, Planet in Peril,  by a friend of mine,  Comfort Olubo Umaru  a lawyer based in Abuja Nigeria. IT’S A MATTER OF CASH. by  Comfort Olubo Umaru As an avid reader, a former resident of the area and concerned citizen, it would be remiss of me not to start any discussion on the Nigerian Niger Delta with one name. Kenule Saro Wiwa. As a child my favorite TV show was Bassey and Co. This was a screen adaptation of plays written by Ken Saro Wiwa. It was about a wise cracking young man called Bassey and his friend Alale and their varied antics. The show was all about their varied attempts to ev...

Black In The Oval Office, Africa Don't Celebrate Yet

Mr Obama proposes to invest $150bn in alternative fuel over the next 10 years, he said the US would not be held "hostage to dwindling resources, hostile regimes , and a warming planet”. He called for greater fuel efficiency and an "energy economy" aimed at creating millions of jobs for Americans. "We (the US Government )will commit ourselves to steady, focused, pragmatic pursuit of an America that is freed from our energy dependence, and empowered by a new energy economy that puts millions of our citizens to work". Read and read it well Nigerian government, policy makers and anyone who cares, the hand writing is on the wall, since successive government in Nigeria have only payed lip service to creating an economy for Nigeria that is diversified and not heavily reliant on oil, I guess this is a wakeup call. If the major buyer of your product say he see a future of less dependence on not just you as a supplier, but also on the product you sell in the ...

Happy, St Valentines Day

Love is eternal ~ the aspect may change but not the essence, there is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love, as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning! The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one's work. ~ Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) Happy Val’s Day! Every One
