Lazycapitalist2: What you wrote here is pure none sense because is like you are not suffering in this country Which Telecom network sold Sim card for 10,000? MTN and Econet extort so much from Nigerians by selling Sim at N26,000. If not the fact that it was Glo that brought these thieves to their kneel by selling Sim @ N3000 with N2999 airtime on it. Glo later slash it down to N100/200. Here where I live, we live in darkness but constantly pay light bills even though we don't see light Your comment is pure nonesense 3 Likes |

Lostchild: Thanks, but I have suffered in this country. And i still live here. Which Telecom network sold Sim card for 10,000? MTN and Econet extort so much from Nigerians by selling Sim at N26,000. If not the fact that it was Glo that brought these thieves to their kneel by selling Sim @ N3000 with N2999 airtime on it. Glo later slash it down to N100/200. Largely because MTN and ECONET were able to charge that high, that they earned the profits needed to build the infrastructure that we have for GSM I mean, all them telecom masts were not built by government. Plus Glo came in and helped bring down prices by competition....which was how the programme was supposed to go.Since there was no price controls by government, companies were free to set prices...including prices that were below the competitiors.... Now if there had been price controls...we won;t have had the GSM/interent /etc network we have now Here where I live, we live in darkness but constantly pay light bills even though we don't see light Yes, because when you pay N30 for something that costs N53 to make .....that is one kwh.....not much of a profit is made to fix things up to the level where we have light 24/7 (I mean right now, we need at least 90000 EXTRA mw...before we can start talking of 24/7 power.Where is the money going to come from....) |

Lazycapitalist2: The money your leaders steals only in just a month is enough to generate 50,000 MW. Even if the govt provide all the funds needed for stable electric supply, all the money will still disappears Nigeria is a nation of thieves 1 Like |
Re: The National Electricity Grid Has Experienced A System Collapse. by Nobody: 4:31pm On May 12, 2021 |
Lostchild: I frankly doubt that...(a team of experts put the money at $900billion, spent over 30 years in 2016)..plus even if we got back all the stolen money....is it only power we will spend it on? (Educaiton, health, defence, sports, even railways are all waiting) Plus, it is one thing to build infrastructure, it is another thing to maintain it....which is why we have to eventually pay for power at a rate that makes them discos profitable...so that they can pay for continued maintenance...and upgrades, and expansions. Nigeria is a nation of thieves Well, when it is time to prosecute them, people promptly shout 'Persecution'..so nothing happens. |

Nonsense country. The Grid is always collapsing. style to push us to patronize filling stations. |

Lazycapitalist2:keep that your low payment crap somewhere else. Do you know how many homes get estimated billings without adequate power to back it up? If you don't know, the advent of pre-paid meters has exposed them the more. You give me darkness, I pay nothing. |
Re: The National Electricity Grid Has Experienced A System Collapse. by Nobody: 5:48pm On May 12, 2021 |
Lazycapitalist2:so you're telling us America and other industrialised societies built their power sector through estimated and outrageous billing? You don't establish a novel business without backup funding and technical knowhow. The discos and whatever you call them know little or nothing about electricity, neither do they have the backup capital for adequate investment. How you expect the average consumer to pay for a service not rendered still puzzles the mind. |

Lazycapitalist2: Oga stop trying to excuse the 300 pound gorilla in the room. The fellow is correct. Decentralisation is a major factor. When you breakdown the structure into smaller independent units it is easier for these companies to have stronger bargaining power with their customers and so raise the funding they need to address their peculiarities. Electricity does not have to cost the same everywhere in Nigeria. Those near gas fields ahould have it cheaper from gas plants. Those who are thousands of kilometres away and require huge investment in power infrastructure should pay a premium to have it. That is what will stimulate the construction of power plants throughout Nigeria using local energy sources. The north-east has the largest hydro potentials in Nigeria but the Mambila dam continues to be an electoral football simply because consumers in the south pay a premium to have gas fed power sent all the way from the delta which is highly inefficient and terribly wasteful and expensive Decentralise the power sector and the north will attract investment in solar which they have the land and climate for and hydro which they have abundant potentials. But ignorance, greed and laziness won't let them. Oga. You simply cannot have cheap electrcity if you cannot produce it where it is demanded, period. And if all the GSM networks today in Nigeria were asked to share transmission infrastructure, towers, base stations and the whole lot, they will all have been out of business because the system will have collapsed to the ground. |

Reference: Well, if you read my post, you would see that i did not speak against dececntralisation, rather I spoke about the fact that the sector is not earning enough cash in the first place to make decentraisation work well If it is not earning enough cash....decentralisation won't help much. We would still be back to square one. Decentralisaiton is fine...but equipment, workers, etc have to be paid for...and we can't pay for it if we aren't making the sector profitable. Modified: The issue I am focusing on more is summarized in the below page from this report

Re: The National Electricity Grid Has Experienced A System Collapse. by Nobody: 6:32pm On May 12, 2021 |
franciskaine: Well, backup or no backup funding....if you charge for power at a loss, you won't earn enough money to make back your investment. Businesses are not charities, yet we expect them to be in Nigeria. |
Re: The National Electricity Grid Has Experienced A System Collapse. by Nobody: 6:34pm On May 12, 2021 |
franciskaine: And do you know that 40% of people don't pay for power at all, plus, even with estimated billing...the amount we pay per lkwh is less than the amount needed. Well, I'll leave you with the below graphic. It's from the PWC report on liqudity in the power sector. I suggest you read it.

Lazycapitalist2: I still submit that you can only get right pricing when.you decentralise and with it comes liberalisation. The power market is still heavily controlled centrally, by government so these so called power companies are fighting with one hand tied behind their backs They buy power at government price, send it to government nominated customers and receive government approved income. Compare it to telecoms where communication tariffs vary widely because services offered vary widely too and all because government doesn't tell them what to do and who to give service or not. We jave said it from time. The model of power privatisation is not workable. It creates a chicken and egg scenario between investment and tariff income, a scenario we never saw in the telecommunications privatisation deapite the fact that teleccoms companies started from scratch, zero investmemt, wheras power comoanies inherited infrastructure and a customer base. The tariffs is not the ultimate problem. It is the structure of the industry that is. Get the structure right and I tell you Nigerians have enough residual generating capacity to stabilize power in Nigeria. Private owners of huge power plants should be able to sell power in a right thinking model but who will send it into a so called narional grid where government is not a fair or sound arbiter. |
Re: The National Electricity Grid Has Experienced A System Collapse. by loswhite(m): 5:40am On May 13, 2021 |
Lazycapitalist2:Since they increased the tariff have you noticed a single change? How do you convince ppl to pay more when just recently we had a cost or service base reflective tariffs and yet nothing to show |
