I need advice, and I need it fast!

It all started a few months ago. I’m a married man in my late 30s, and I wanted to add a little zing to our love life. So, I decided to buy my wife a little “device” to help us in the bedroom. I won’t lie; I thought I was being a genius—romantic, even! For a while, things were sweet in the other room. My wife was more excited than I’d ever seen, and we were having fun with this new “toy.” But now, this “innocent addition” has become a full-blown third wheel in my marriage. My wife has fallen madly in love—with the plastic I mean, really in love. She’s using it ALL the time, and it’s gotten to the point where I’m not sure if she’s even aware of my presence anymore. In fact, if that toy had hands, I’m convinced she’d be holding its hand instead of mine. She even named it BOB (Battery Operated Boyfriend) and always giggles after she says that.

 At first, it was funny—maybe even cute. But now? She’s sneaking off at all hours. She’s missed work deadlines. House chores? Forget it! Laundry is piling up, dishes are gathering dust, and it feels like the “toy” is the only thing getting any attention around here. I’ll admit, I’ve thought about taking the toy away, just to see if it would bring her back down to earth. But, here’s the problem: I have never seen my wife this happy and bright! She’s practically glowing, smiling at random times, and walking around with a confidence that’s almost… contagious. Part of me feels guilty for wanting to “dim her light,” so to speak. I just wish there was a way to keep that sparkle without her constantly disappearing with the device!  E don tire me and I need some advice! please help a brother out! How do I gently remind my wife that I still exist? Or should I just accept that I’ve been replaced by a piece of plastic?

Atiku Abubakar, a former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, has said Nigerians are enjoying democracy now due to the sacrifices of MKO Abiola’s late wife, Kudirat. Atiku said Kudirat Abiola’s activism set her aside as a heroine of all time in Nigeria. Kudirat was assassinated on June 4, 1996. At a panel of inquiry set up to investigate her death, Sergeant Rogers had confessed to have taken part in the assassination. Remembering Kudirat 28 years after, Atiku posted on X:
“Today, as always, I remember Alhaja (Mrs) Kudirat Abiola, the wife of Bashorun MKO Abiola, on the 28th anniversary of her assassination. “Following the incarceration of MKO, his wife stepped into the fray to symbolise the struggle for democracy and the restoration of the June 12 mandate. “Her activism and leadership marked her as a heroine of all time. The democracy we enjoy today was only made possible by the sacrifices of people like her, who paid the ultimate price. May her soul continue to rest in eternal peace. -AA”

Residents residing in the Royal Gardens Estate of Lagos State have peacefully demonstrated against what they perceive as inadequate services provided by the estate management, coupled with the unjust imposition of exorbitant service charges. The Royal Garden Estate is owned by Trojan Estates Limited whose Managing Director is Rilwan Olakunle Tinubu. It was gathered that the residents who protested on Thursday, 30th May 2024 with various inscriptions expressed their concern over what they considered exorbitant services/ maintenance charges and frequent disconnection of power supply due to the use of lone Bulk Meter for the whole estate.

In different releases, circulated in over 600 estate families Whatssap platforms, the residents unequivocally demanded the Estate developer, and its Manager, Broll to be accountable and transparent in the determination of annual service charges payable and disconnection of the use of bulk metering which is constantly causing frequent disconnection of power supply in the estate. The residents who came out in their numbers, reminded the estate management that the Nigerian upper legislative chamber, Senate, had in 2015, urged the electricity distribution companies in Nigeria to restructure their fixed charges and re-examine bulk metering practices, in order to ensure that Nigerians’ only pay for electricity they have actually consumed.

Subsequently, the Senate directed the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to look into complaints over ‘indiscriminate billing’ by Nigerians. "Following this, NERC reported back to the Senate that it had asked the distribution companies to find a way to restructure the fixed charge, although it highlighted in its response that fixed charges were not illegal. "In addition, Sam Amadi who was the NERC boss then agreed that the Commission would eliminate the practice of bulk billing for residential  customers and replace the practice with individual metering and billing," the residents recalled.

They however, regretted that since then the practice had not stopped in the Royal Gardens Estate. "The residents have rather experienced a more rebranded and constant upgraded format of exorbitant charges including constant disconnection of power supply." Aggrieved by the impunity, the estate residents led a protest, a resident had told Saharareporters. According to the residents in the protest letter circulated in their WhatsApp groups, they also demanded an immediate end to insecurity within the Estate, which they claimed was being aided by non-availability of electricity supply to power street lights. According to the letter's they want "the dismantling of the Bulk Meter to end regular disconnection, worsening the supply of power and finalisation of the service levels agreement (SLA)."

"Other demands laid were: Removal of bulk metering and commencement of individual metering, Execution of a Service Level Agreement between the Promoters of the Estate and Residents/Owners of property in the Estate, and ⁠addressing heightened insecurity in the Estate." Meanwhile, efforts to get the reaction of the MD of Trojan Estates Limited, Tinubu failed as he did not pick his calls as of time of filing this report.
