pacificman: Problem is where is the government going to get the money for 24/7 light. 1.Lagos needs at least 10000MW alone for 24/7 light. 2.Nigeria generates less than 7000MW alone 3.Estimates to cure the power problem range from N5trillion (1997), to $900billion over 30 years....and our budget cannot fund 24/7 light. 4.So that means we a) Take a loan b) Raise bills drastically c) Cut subsidies Thing is....you cannot give what you do not have... GSM that we use for calls, data, etc....is where it is today because Nigerians were not allowed to use the system for free, plus Nigerians paid whatever price the GSM people demanded....even back during the days when you could not call Network A from Network B, and when internet service was a joke., and when people were openly complaining about bad service. But the money we paid enabled the GSM companies to make improvements and upgrades. Meanwhile...Nigerians and their government are starving the DISCOS and the GENCOS....of money, and we still expect miracles.? 2 Likes |

5thElement: I hate defending govt...but in 2001 we were generating less than 2000MW, by 2008, it was up to 4000MW. Also, $16 BILLION in 8 years seems like a lot of cash....HOWEVER, we need 180000MW to get 24/7 power supply...which is more than what $16 bn can give us. Am all for investigating and recovering the stolen monies...but $16bn won't get us there. |

pacificman: Let me tell you something Nigerian governments do want light 24/7... The problem is, the road there involves 1.Raised bills. 2.Strict anti-corruption practices that means ending petty corruption like bribes paid for reconnection. 3.Everyone paying their fair share....which angers Nigerians getting light for free... 4.Taking massive loans....even more than what we are taking now... And all these don't win votes (eg...GEJ partially removed subsidy in 2012 from fuel by raising prices from N65 to N140. In the long run...it would have massively benefited our economy. But Nigerians said no, we got the subsidy back, and we wasted millions maintaining a subsidy that was not working). |

theoldpretender: Bros if we are to go by your logic then the masses should be made shareholders. It's never been heard of that a business man will force out money from customers to improve their product. A business man should go out there and raise money to improve their products. The implications of increasing bills before any improvement will be nothing but a rip off. If I have a product that is not so good... Yet I manage to increase the price and people are still paying for it then what will be the motivation to use the additional funds generated to improve the product? Firstly, more than 70% of power users are subjected estimated billing so increasing the price for power under such arrangement is nothing but daylight robbery. Let's be mindful of what we advocate for so we don't unconsciously worsen our situation. 1 Like |

Johnrake69: It's allvery well...but at the end of the day, the funding palaver is still there. Plus.....if you increase the price of a product and you don't improve it...people will stop buying...and you lose. See the GSM example....we all paid very high price for bad service, bad products (back in the day, you could not call between networks, etc)...but the GSM people took our money, and made things better. I think the same could happen for power supply too.... Or we keep on taking loans to add to our heavy debt burden. |

Fashola, the current Minister of Power, Works and Housing said that a serious government will solve Nigeria's power issues in 2 years. It is now 4yrs. |
Re: Power Ministry Budgets N168million For Fuel, Generator by mechanics(m): 12:58pm On Jan 02, 2019 |
hahahaha, that's serious o, but is the federal ministry of power, works and housing not connected to the national grid? and we are all know that most of the mega watts is concentrated in the Abuja city, then why all these unnecessary budgets on fueling of generators? |

ikorodureporta:Shameless vision less leaders, they are quick to call us illiterates because they are educated, yet, with their education they cannot formulate any meaningful thing to make Nigeria work. What a big shame to Nigerian leaders and the lead. Little wonder with their education a foreigners is giving them orders |

theoldpretender: Bros I understand your position. But for fairness, pay as you go should be achieved first before the increase. If not, it's going to be a total rip off. Pay as you go is the only measure that will ensure these companies improve their services, having in mind that customers will only pay for the power they consume like it's done in sane societies. Even a hut in an obscure village in Ghana has a prepaid meter. |

The major problem in Nigeria is that we need to stop thinking about wasteful ways of doing things and start thinking sustainability. Until we think sustainability we are not going anywhere. The danger is that, we may wake up one day and discover that our crude oil customers have moved on to other things like solar and electric cars. And that oil revenue is insufficient to run our country. These people are toying with the future of the country. |

Factfinder1: Solar is not as reliable and efficient as most people are touting it to be. Especially if you're using AC in so many rooms Ask around to know how much solar components you would need to power a system with about 15 1.5hp ACs You no go even know where to start, no be even money sef Where you go mount 100 solar panels ? If it rains, you're on your own for that day 1 Like |
