Let's look at the facts on ground.

House 1
Power load = 2000W
Average of 20hrs/day gives 600 hours in a 30 day calendar month.
Power consumption = 2kW * 600h = 1200kWh
Cost of power consumed = ₦225 * 1200 = ₦270,000

House 2
Power load = 2000W
Power is generated using a 2.5 kVA petrol generator. Running wattage is 2000W.
Fuel efficiency = 1.1litres/hour (15 litres in 14 hours at 50% load - generator will consume more if we increase the load but let us stick with this for the purpose of this comparison)
For House 2 to generate 600hrs in a month requires 660L of PMS.
At ₦560/litre, House 2 will spend a sum of ₦369,600 in an attempt to replicate power supply from DISCOs. Maintenance cost has not been factored in these calculations.



A lot of small scale businesses spend up to ₦178,000 monthly running petrol generators.

Power is not cheap!

power is not cheap, but what the f**k is the minimum wage at those countries? They can easily pay for power without feeling a thing. It will take a house earning 50k over 3 months to pay for 1 month of electricity. If Nigerians no protest these nonsense, na dem know. My visa is already out.

The Tinubu government has just increased electricity cost for band A customers to N225 per KPH.

For context, customers in the US pay about the same cost per KPH (or cheaper) depending on the state you live in.

Energy analysts are explaining that Nigerians are willing to pay more if they have access to electricity.

Based on data from NerdWallet, the average monthly electricity cost in the US is about $137 which is about N178,000.

Are you willing to pay N178,000 monthly for electricity for a 24-hour supply?

converting dollars to naira when someone isn't earning in naira is a sign of deep seated poverty mentality

Haba bros, the fact you and I can chest the increments doesn't mean it should be ok with everyone else. Just imagine several small scale businesses folding up cos they can't afford to run their business with this spike electricity tariff.
Take a small scale barber shop for example, that gets patronage from an average of 7 customers per day charging N1000 per cut
His take home before expenses [b][/b]N217,000

Subtract N178,000 from that amount and tell me if he is running a business or just wasting his time.
Same can be said about several small and medium scale manufacturing and service based businesses in Nigeria, which makes bulk of our employed population.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN A COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT SUBSIDIZE A THING OR TWO FOR HER CITIZENS, JUST TO HELP REDUCE THE GAP BETWEEN THE HAVES AND HAVE NOT.

Some people have destroyed this country for personal gain and their children won't benefit from it. Generating electricity for the whole country will create thousands of jobs. An ordinary monkey can figure that out. Sambo is one of the saboteur of electric generation. Jonathan lost me when he allowed his power minister to resign because Sambo told him to sack him.Sambo had and interest somewhere that we didn't know as usual. Whatever is working I will let somethings slide until I get my result then take action. Jonathan wanted to please Sambo.
What was Sambo's interest?

Power shouldn't be cheap... Matter of fact, nothing should be subsidized any more.

However, why is the minimum wage still paltry?!! Why are the citizens accepting a 'subsidized' minimum wage??!

In nations where people pay well above for amenities like gas and electricity, do they earn as low as Nigerians??! Do they live in insecurity??! Do they have widespread corruption in every sector of their nations??!


It's always convenient to make comparisons on somethings to justify poor leadership in Nigeria, but none of you ever compare the other parameters.

It is so annoying and wickedness at its peak when you compare the cost of services or items with the Western countries to prove that ours is cheaper when you don't compare the amount they earn with us.
