SINCE the public hearing on estimated Billing on June 5 2018, I have noticed a sudden and desperate barage of press interviews granted by Discos and those who are reluctant to do the right thing in the industry. The question they refuse to address is the simple one that is it right, moral or even legal in a service industry to bill consumers for services not rendered or for power not consumed?  I have heard and read so many arguments from the Discos and remain unconvinced as none of their arguments are compelling.

It is very interesting that President Buhari has said that he did not sack the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, when he came in because he wanted him to salvage the terrible economy he inherited.

Politics have always had its fair share of colourful characters, especially in the First and Second Republics. After that, it seems the gaiety and oratory of politicking was taken out of latter day politicians. However, the thrills and frill of the past still linger, and once in a while we have happenstances that remind us of the flamboyant, even if controversial characters of the past.
