President Donald Trump has accused America’s tech giants of having a
liberal bias and claiming Twitter was making it more difficult to follow
his account. “Facebook, Twitter and Google are so biased toward the
Dems it is ridiculous. Twitter, in fact, has made it much more difficult
for people to join @realDonaldTrump. They have removed many names &
greatly slowed the level and speed of increase. They have
acknowledged-done NOTHING” Trump tweeted. Trump is a regular critic of
social media and his criticism echoed another attack on Twitter as
recently as October, when he again accused the platform of stifling the
growth of his account. Facebook, Twitter and Google are so biased
toward the Dems it is ridiculous! Twitter, in fact, has made it much
more difficult for people to join @realDonaldTrump. They have removed
many names & greatly slowed the level and speed of increase. They
have acknowledged-done NOTHING!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
December 18, 2018Trump at the moment has over 56m followers on Twitter,
his favourite platform and pundits say he may be angry that his
predecessor Barack Obama has 104million followers however, the internet
firms have consistently denied charges of political bias and many
analysts have pointed to large social media followings of conservatives
including Trump.
Can these two get a room already! Lol

Residents
of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, are demanding that their 24 hour
electricity supply be cut short immediately.According to them, the
constant power supply has caused a huge increase in charges. They are
demanding that the Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC) reduce
their electricity supply to the 12-hours they previously enjoyed.Most
resident of the state capital, beseiged the YEDC office today to demand a
reduction in electricity. "My bill indicated that I used 605 units in
November and they charged N14,000 as against N6,500 for September where I
used the same units. They are charging me for what I did not consume
because during the day, I spend most of my time in my shop. I only use
the electricity at night at home. I have a prepaid meter in the shop and
I don’t spend more than N2,000 in a whole month. So how come I am not
staying at home and I am being asked to pay N14,000. I am here in their
office, demanding an explanation." a resident saidReacting to the
complains by the residents, the YEDC Maiduguri Business Manager,
said“These complaints may be as a result of the commissioning of the
330kV transmission line which now supplies electricity 24 hours. On the
average, we now supply electricity in the town for a minimum of 22 hours
in a day, which simply implies that the consumption of energy by
residents in the state have multiplied or even tripled itself.“We took a
simple study from our prepaid meters users and we found out that the
people that usually came to buy unit of N2,000 or N3,000 in a month now
have to spend N15,000 or N20,000 because of their energy usage. One
thing we notice about the consumers is that they waste energy. People
have this habit of leaving their lights on even in the afternoon.“Go to
some super markets or filling stations, you will see more than 200 bulbs
on in the afternoon. So the more you load you use the more energy you
consume."
