obaaderemi: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 12 Likes 2 Shares |

This your episode no get balance..... 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: 4 Likes |

kikero: 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. 7 Likes 1 Share |

BeLookingIDIOT:"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. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

Emmyj2g: 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. 1 Like |

kikero: 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.

obaaderemi: 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? 4 Likes |

Originalsly:. 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. ) 2 Likes 1 Share |
