Let's forget our brains in the toilet and blame Buhari, blaming Buhari is not blame game at all, it's patriotism especially since it's Buhari that sold NEPA to family and friends in the last minute

. We argued privatizing NEPA was fraud and the objective was bailout funds, this stupid Buhari administration has provided bailout twice to PHCN let's not forget PHCN has its allocation and they never stopped bold, audacious and wicked senseless billings they make money from


Yes again let's blame Buhari

It said TCN had filed an application to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) for an extraordinary tariff review to avert further occurrence of such incident.

It said the proposal for a tariff review would ensure that Generation Companies (GENCOS) were given the necessary incentives to provide sufficient spinning reserves and other ancillary services critical for managing the national grid.


This just a plan by the TCN and GENCOS to increase tariffs and nothing more.

this 'regime' & its misguided supporters continue to confuse themselves all in a bid to 'out lie' themselves.


the privatization of some parts of the power sector might have been flawed in some ways, but it was the best thing to do.

what this blame hungry regime needs to do is;

1. ensure uninterrupted gas supply to the gas plants so that they can function effective;

2. strengthen the transmission network, which is actually the weakest link in the generation-transmission-distribution chain. it is a long & tedious process, but if they had started it 2 years ago instead of looking for whom to blame & claiming glory for doing nothing, progress would have been made by now;

3. remove power from the ministry & create an independent council on power, with seasoned power experts, that is statutorily backed & empowered to develop our power sector without interference from government;

4. review the privatization process by revisiting the professional partnership aspect of the DISCOs. DISCOs without technical experts in the top 20 power companies in the world should be given professional assistance by the council on power;

5. the government should liberalise the metre market. it should be made possible for individuals to purchase their metres independently as long as they conform to specific guidelines. this way, DISCOs have no room for extortion... or frivolous excuses why a customer can't be given prepaid metres...


the above won't end power problems overnight, but removing the power sector from destructive politics will allow it have focus & direction without distractions.

What is so complex about electricity generation and distribution? Why are we still not getting it right in Nigeria?

They Discos where all sold to corrupt politicians by Goodluck Jonathan who know nothing about power generation. Experts have been telling the cluesless an incompetent APC to reverse the sale and give it to competent power generator companies like General Electric but they refused.

I wish you could get somebody to read out to you what you had earlier written....
The DISCO's you've attempted to vilify have got no business with power 'generation' the subject matter of this discourse......
And thank you for blaming Ex PGEJ today as you've been primed to do.....
I guess you are scared of calling out your demi-gods at whose desk the mess and responsibility for the collapse of the grid occasioned by the technical glitch at Egbin lies......
And for the records.....The TCN responsible for power generation is still wholly owned by the FG......

Everything about Nigeria Electricity has always been fraud from time immemorial.

You don't have meter, they give you estimated bill.
You have meter, they still give you estimated bill.

Scam of country called Nigeria.


Nemesis1:



If it is then we should protest, I've paid for their stupid meter over 5 months I'm yet to receive it, they won't even change my direct connection charges from 7k to 2k as stipulated by their own rules, I admit power is a bit stable where I stay but seriously? More charges?


This calls for occupy DISCOS all over again, let them provide meter, find and resolve their problems and be fair to Nigerians
