Nigerians To Pay More For Electricity

while reading this topic, i jst had a power failure, ah PHCN

an them no if they like >?

I have posted over and over for you to read that you should try focus more on the topic and not my person. If all you have to offer me is personal attacks on someone you have no knowledge of then you only show yourself a fool. How do you know I do not understand the problems in the country? Let me guess??? You are going to come back with the classic argument that I do not at present in Nigeria means I do not know even more than you do of the situation down there?? People who think that way really need to grow up and grow some brain cells. This thread is not about solutions.If you want to ask for solution, start another thread and I will refer you to many previous posts of mine that address such. Stop focusing on my person and focus more on the thread and the topic at hand.

Now explain how your reply to my post addresses my actual post there. What in my post did you find to be the "wrong premise" ?? Or does just saying it is wrong means it is wrong even if you do not point out what exactly you think is wrong??

Thanks for this cautioning!!!

May be they did not go through. the rule of this site

What does it profit us in tuning this site to some kind of battle zones?
l think, what we're sharing here should be something to give lights to
our cloudy state of minds. We have experienced a lot of bitterness and
agony from this rogues, l mean, that's where our minds should be at focus;
then, how do we create every possible room for liberation should be another
priority! We have suffered and highly opressed from these leaders, and if
we aren't careful, this 'll streached from generation to generation. Does it mean
this has to continue this way?  their acts and partly ours had nega
tively bent us in the eyes of the world to the extent that anywhere you find yourself
as a Nigerian, no sense of security. With the level we're blessed in  country,
does any Nigerian require woshiping any "fukin oyinbo man" for peanuts? Yeah, that's some
of the results of  bad leadership that'd refused to vanish in our dear country.

Dear brothers and sister, we're all indeed a solders! we have our rights and dignity
to fight for, which by far supasses the beef and embarassment that evades.
So, let's maintain this site clean and worthy.

Chaii!  God bless you for you post. Please leave those animals to be insulting each other instead of proffering a solution to the problems we have in Nigeria.

I don't believe the Govt makes money selling generators.I do believe that their resistance to root-and-branch  reforms is on the basis of the entrenched profiteering interests that come with keeping major public utilities in the hands of the Govt.

Where you have govt run utilities,you have big budgets and big contracts.They don't want to give this up by letting the private sector take over.

My post was not actually to say that GOVERNMENT itself made money from selling generators directly but that many of those in the business who make profit from the situation are also government officials. So we have people who by day make decisions to block the path for potential fixes to the main problem so they can by night profit from the problem as much as they can.

NEPA is the biggest fraud in Nigeria. First they Rob us for no Electricy and the payments we make monthly and secondly federal government is pumping money in there too.

GOD WILL PUNISH ALL THOSE WHO MAKE NIGERIANS CRY. AMEN!!!

don't we already pay more? seeing as we don't get the service no matter what we pay.

some people cannot have a good conversation until they have engaged in verbal battle. and such people will always find their kinsmen wherever they go. leave them, they'll soon drop the bone.

electricity is a mess. we talk so much about economic growth, but we'll never know what economic growth is like until we solve this electricity problem.i believe that once we can find someone dogged enough to actually do something about it, only then will we feel the impact of a 3% or 10% economic growth rate as individuals. because the extra value that comes from having these things in place will be very visible to you and I.

i pray God sends NEPA's own Dora Akunyili. or Okonjo Iweala

I think its a bit cheeky to suggest Nigerians pay more for a service which isn't even being provided. On the other hand, having just returned from Naija and spoken to people, its clear that although they want the trappings of a democratic and developed country, they are unwilling the behave like responsible citizens.

The truth is, many Nigerians would rather bribe the NEPA electrician than pay a regular electricity bill, EVEN IF IT BECAME CONSTANT. I'm sorry, but thats the truth, the mentality of the people from top to bottom, is not towards what should be happening, but what they can manage to craftily get away with.

This is a country where tenants will refuse to pay rent for upwards of three years and the government will refuse to pay pensions after years of faithful service. The article makes a good point, we are used to pointing out the flaws of the governement, yet we fail to realise that many nigerians don't know the first thing about being a citizen.

Instead of spending so much of money on electricity? why not go solar? am good at that, because no be only one gate enter market, inverters are also another option. just holler at me at christabelle08@yahoo.com and you are on your way to enjoying light 24/7

What catch 22 did you create here???

Its good thing they are doing. Eletric is too cheap here for naija and yet people dey complain say e dey expensive. Una no wan pay tax or any thing haba.
