Good for the environment, our health and the pockets too.

If the price of gas remain high, this will be the beginning of the problems for Nigeria.
Companies will be leaving Nigeria for Ghana in dozens very soon, cos this really mean that the cost of running generator that is needed for all industries will triple and manufacturers will have to pass on all these extra expenses to the buyers

Fhemmmy:

Lol . . . @ Our environment, i hope that dead bodies will not liter the street out of poverty

Fhemmmy:

And how many would be able to afford water bottle soon, once the pure water has sky rocketed in prices . . . . Nigeria is in for a big problem

igbonla:

Not exactly true, the companies are already on diesel generators. Diesel was deregulated long ago, any company using PMS to power generators for industrial production should not be in business.

igbonla:

Nah, it wont happen. We really need to start taking the state governors to task. Imagine the SW going back to agriculture, SS on crude oil, SE on technology, North also on agriculture and livestock. We wont even need to import so much, have always believed that Nigeria is a "bomb" if we can do things right.

~Bluetooth:

They can buy a 4 litre gallon and carry it around.it may look awful but a good austerity measure.

Fhemmmy:

No matter how much the diesel is in use . . . they will have to transport their goods and services and some are still on gas/petrol . . .

Fhemmmy:

Yes, i do agree that Nigeria could do a lot of things and we dont have to depends on just Oil, but then we have govt that fart thru their head  . . .  Where would someone that is yet to even get money to drink gari get money to get land to farm or even eat to have energy to farm?

I get what you mean but this is where some business re-engineering will profit us, the time is coming when it wont be that easy to pass the cost to the consumer; pure water is actually a good example, it tanked at N5 for several years and became almost unprofitable until the recent policy. You can see that ideas are already coming up to avoid pure water altogether.

igbonla:

It wont be easy for a poor person to acquire land for farming but there are better opportunities now especially from state governments, Osun state govt has been giving out farmlands to interested people at ridiculous costs but there are also opportunities of cheap leases in the villages especially in the south west. This is from personal experience.

Fhemmmy:

I heard of the opportunity too about the lands, and i told couple of people to look into it, only to hear na lie . . .

Fhemmmy:

Avoiding pure water is almost impossible in Nigeria where you cant just walk into a restaurant and drink water, where the weather is warm and poverty is just not an easy thing . . .No light for people to even be able to ice water in their own homes.
So many things in Nigeria is just working against business and till something happen, Nigerians will have to manage the tiny profit or even the loss on their business

igbonla:

Not sure who gave you that feedback but I can tell you it is very true, I visited one of the locations in Iwo town. I missed the opportunities from Osun state govt but I have friends that applied and got some; my alternative plans was successful but came at a huge cost because I wanted to own the land rather than leasing it.

igbonla:

You are correct but we also need a change of lifestyle if we will succeed in our personal lives, it is almost similar to choosing between packing lunch or visiting a restaurant for lunch. Sometime you have to make do with your own water that may not be ice cold rather than spending so much on some poor quality water that can kill you despite the bold NAFDAC number on the poor grade nylon used in the packaging.
I can tell you that most businesses makes (plenty) money in Nigeria, the issue is that they want to make more, at the expense of the consumer. Take the MTN folks as an example, what has been their profit profile since they started in Nigeria? I am sure they zoomed past their break even point within 2 years! And they refused per second billing until GLO got in as the game changer. I have many examples here, nobody cares about the consumers; it is extreme capitalism worsened in Nigeria due to lack of knowledge and regulations.

Fhemmmy:

I do agree with you that we have to change our life style, but to change a lifestyle, there are so many things that would be needed and one of the needed things would be electricity . . . Imagine a lifestyle where people cook on a nightly basis all because there is no way to preserve the food, so how do people make lunch to take to work if they dont have to wake up so early in the morning to cook, and also remember that same people come back from work so late at night that there is no even time for them to cook before going to bed.

All we saying is the masses needs help.
