For over 20 years, around 180 households in the community have relied on illegal electrical connections pulled from neighboring areas to power their homes. Angry over the lack of formal grid infrastructure, residents are directing their frustration at the ruling African National Congress (ANC). "We have made a collective decision: no electricity, no vote," said community leader Lesiba Rankapole, 59. "We know it is illegal, but we had no choice because we cannot live without electricity.

Davido requests cyclist account details, promises meeting on return to Nigeria

Afrobeats singer Davido has decided to offer an ‘obstinate’ cycling fan monetary compensation with a promissory note to meet him on his return to Nigeria.

On Thursday evening, Davido became aware of a fan, a Benue indigene, who set out on an eight-day cycling journey to Lagos to congratulate the singer on the massive success of his ‘Timeless’ album.

The fan simply identified as Emmiwuks began his journey from Benue on Tuesday, August 3 to arrive Lagos on Friday, August 11 which happens to be today.

Hearing about the news, the DMW boss quoted the tweet, ordering the cyclist fan to abort the mission as he wasn’t home.

“Turn around I’m not home”, tweeted Davido.

But Emmiwuks in a tweet made in the early hours of Friday expressed his resolve to complete his journey and accomplish his mission.

“Am not going back Boss I must present my gift to you @davido. Benin state heading to Ogun any moment from now..”, he replied.

Hours later, O.B.O cited Emmiwuks tweet requesting his account details, promising to see him on his return to the country.

“U no wan hear …. Oya send account … then u can do ur great journey when I’m back,” Davido stated.
