My son, you made sense! The youths of today in Nigeria are an embarrassment. If the girls are not watching those empty nollywood movies they are talking about fashion and sex. As for the boys, if they are not watching wrestling, they are talking about nairabet and such things.
You can't hold a meaningful intellectual conversation with them.
I was at a seminar not long ago and I asked the boys and girls present if any of them knew George Orwell, author of Animal Farm. They had neither heard of the book nor its author. It's pathetic.

Dont mind them you'd see them putting up topics on NL Romance,which amazingly would hit front page like...can I marry her? Can I have a girlfriend? She's my best friend but now, she's acting funny, my sister inlaw is eyeing me, advice needed...blablabla. Visit similar fora in the west, science, techs, how to build wealth, etc would draw traffic with meaningful contributions. But here, the reverse in the case. I wonder if there's anything else they think about than all these irrelevant stuffs. Truly all animals are equally, but some are more equally than others...culled from Animal Farm

egalitarianism:
Damn. My friend, rest on. You use your youthful days for benefiting others, thereby writing your name on platter of gold. Shame on youths of nowadays, all you do This age is to talk about sex, relationship, gossip and sorts. You don't sit alone and think of how to benefit others. This is why older generation keep riding your l like horse, you're not serious with your future. You're not ready to take it into your hands. WAKE FROM SLUMBER. USE YOUR HEAD.
Though I won't still stop clamouring for retiring the old thieves, to pave way for the sound minded youths. God bless you all my children. Stay safe and out of trouble

True... Most are so entitled to the very core!!! Looking everywhere for easy money including begging!!!

What happened to the 16 billion for power? You say ppl don't pay their electric bills.. Why should they pay for something that was never used or something that is way higher than their consumption

How many times will the power holding increase tariff but still no steady power supply. If the leaders were serious, they would have invested genuinely into power...

Don't blame the masses for wanting free power... In kenya, power is almost free... When you pay into your card meter at the beginning of any month, you get 3 times the amount paid... Don't say competition because there is none. Kenya power is the only official power in the country.


The Nigeria government knows the right thing to do but they don't wanna do it because of their selfish interest. If common benin Republic & co get 23hours plus power supply per day from Nigeria, i see no reason why Nigerians can't get such.

kikero:


Most of the grid was expanded in the 1970's...after the war.

Also the reason why our power system does not work is simple. We run it as a socialist enterprise, not as a capitalist enterprise.

Look at GSM. When GSM came to Nigeria, Obasanjo allowed them to exploit us well well. They came, and they charged us heavily for phone call, and bad service (I can recall when I got a repeated call from Lagos from a number I knew not between 9-10 pm in 2004...when I was trying to study for heaven's sake!)..and used the money to build up our structures.

Meanwhile for power, we 1) put it under government control from the word go. 2) charged bills that were kept low for the masses 3) overexpanded the grid for political purposes (people in the rural areas got power) 4) and then most Nigerians refused to pay for power. Between the polticiasation of power, and the fact that it was being not run as a profit making enterprise, the amount of cash needed to make things better wasn't enough.

Infact today, power is not run as a profit making enterprise. Discos and Gencos cannot set prices, prices are set by NBET....which means that all the DISCOS have been losing money since 2014. (and one even gave up in 2018...because they could no longer run at a loss). The grid is overexpanded. Banks and other financing angencies cannot give loans to the power sector. People are refusing to pay for power.

Yes, maybe we should have kept the man in office...but he won't have guaranteed power. The same problems would have happened, because power in Nigeria is not run for profit, and because Nigerians expect power for free.

Bro..... in any country..... essential services are not profit driven. They are either run by the government or prices for the services are controlled by the government. Electricity is one such service.

The DISCOS that cannot make profit... did you know how much money they were given upfront to provide the service?... or you believe they invested their own money?.....most likely they left with unspent millions.

What happens when people refuse to pay for electricity should be the same as when people refuse to pay for phone service.

A reason for collecting taxes is to subsidize essential services and provide infrastructure.... the reason roads are not provided to make profit.... you don't pay through the nose for water when provided by the authorities... you don't pay for firemen to put out fires.... the reason NIPOST is wayyyy less expensive than DHL or FedEx or UPS or any other company.

Great to read about him

..buh which one is father of electricity again. These nnyanmiri people sef

"Father of electricity" was in quote.
It would now be up to you to read the article to figure out in what context was he the "father of electricity".
But too bad,to you bigotry was more important than literacy. It's nobody's fault you can't read.

Common animal farm. Tufia. I'm sure they are ignorant about history as well.

1.Kenya pays 0.222 dollars per killowatt hour for households. Nigeria pays 0.067 dollars per kilowatt hours for households.

2.If you want something to grow, you should pay well for it. We paid high prices for GSM. See where it is now.

3.A situation where 50% of subscribers to DISCOS don't pay for power....if you were running a business and 50% of your customers did not pay....

4.Yes, $16 billion was stolen. True. But even if it was spent....we actually need something like 3 times that amount annually before we can get power.

5.In case you didn't know, power has been privatised since 2014. Government has nothing to do with it, except collect transmission and keep prices low.

Rule 2

kikero:


The cities would be well developed, but the rural areas won't be well developed.

Also, there would be mass segregration, and disporprotionate spending on white settlers vs black settlers. Roads won't reach everywhere, and getting a hosptial in your region would involve a trip to the Colonial office in London.

Inasmuch as Nigeria could be better, I'm happy we got indepenedience. We are not developed because we are a resource dependent country, and we have refused to1) do the hard work to be an industrial economy 2) refused to charge high enough taxes. 3) run power , and oil and many other sectors as 'non profit making ventures'.

Not true rural areas today would have be more developed than it is today, we would have stable power supply, our way of thinking and living would be similar to d 60's and 70's.
Look at Botswana, Namibia and South Africa.
In Namibia u can literally go out all day and come back to step on ur white bedsheets without staining it.
Zimbabwe that gained independence early like us is d only shitty country among those 4

Your analogy sef get comma.

So because some people don't know George Orwell or have never read Animal farm means they're not intelligent enough?

Do you know the number of books they've read that you've never read? Or the number of Authors they know that you don't?

If your generation was any better, Nigeria wouldn't have been in this irredeemable state that it currently is.

The bulk of politicians stealing and running the country dry are from your so called "Enlightened Generation", so what on earth are you trying to insinuate?

Bro..... in any country..... essential services are not profit driven. They are either run by the government or prices for the services are controlled by the government. Electricity is one such service

.

Well, EDF France made a profit of $5.6billion euros in 2019. Power companies have to make a profit somehow.

The DISCOS that cannot make profit... did you know how much money they were given upfront to provide the service?... or you believe they invested their own money?.....most likely they left with unspent millions.

And I am telling you that 1) they experienced delays in collecting money from government 2) they need far more. One estimate is $900billion over the next 30 years...

What happens when people refuse to pay for electricity should be the same as when people refuse to pay for phone service.

And here in Nigeria, people do illegal connections. Many people enjoy power without paying for it. And when the DISCOS go to stop them, their workers get beaten up and chased away.

A reason for collecting taxes is to subsidize essential services and provide infrastructure.... the reason roads are not provided to make profit.... you don't pay through the nose for water when provided by the authorities... you don't pay for firemen to put out fires.... the reason NIPOST is wayyyy less expensive than DHL or FedEx or UPS or any other company.

And Nigeria is not collecting enough in taxes. Our tax to gdp ratio is 5.8%, Ghana is 14%, South Africa is 23%. We rely solely on oil.(There is a reason why Fowler was sacked...and it wasn't jsut for politics. )
