In as much as it will be a move to take, I don't think its the right time. Let there be considerable improvement in the level of power supply first. In fact, there is no need to even take the move as consistency in power supply will naturally kick such things out of the system before a ban is even placed.

............ in another news Federal Government Scholars in China still going hungry as a result of unpaid scholarship allowances. Since January 2015, and still counting.... and our government care less. When these scholars start protesting, they would be tagged unpatriotic or better still an embarrassment to the nation. Yet nobody cares of what they are currently undergoing in trying to make ends meet.
All the PMB eyes on nairaland. This is where you do your relay work!....

Seems my comment got to you.
Too bad!
Next time use only your brain to think.

What is been said here lies on health and environmental issue. I have one which I regret buying, if you re anywhere near or within the FCT, I can give it to free with its accompanied problems
The ban came too late.

The ban is necessary but it becomes a punishment when the government doesn't provide alternative. there are barbers in almost every Street most of which are not learned or skilled in other respect that is the source of their lively hood. I know so many skilled persons that are living miserable lives cos they don't have power for their work but the I pass my neighbour has given them hope. The noise is bad, the smoke is dangerous they know that too. give them alternative and I tell you, you won't need to ban it before they do away with it.

Is the FG saying that these small generators harm the environment more than Big diesel generators? Their researchers should be flogged. So how the heck do they expect the poor man to power his home when these idiots don't give him electricity.

Selectively banning I pass my neighbour which is Wat micro businesses use e to power thier business and hones since we cannot get the PHCN power on a demand....is a very wrong move by government. The big diesel powered generators nko, billowing black pullutants into the air all over naija?

OrlandoOwoh:
I weep for Naija. From my extimation, only about 5% of the people on this thread understand the position of the FG. The ban was not on the ground of power, but health.

Considering that some bigger generating sets cause more harm to the enviroment than these small ones, I find the ban rather pointless. BTW did they provide an alternative for the low income earners who can't afford Mikano plants to power their One room apartments (**sarcastic**)

::-- The same poor you are defending are the ones that die of Carbon monoxide ( Co) poisoning emanating from two strokes engine. The alternative of 4-strokes is available in the market and affordable to the "poor" as well. Our fuel contains up to 1500ppm of Sulphur and "i pass my neighbour" cannot completely burn the mixture of PMS and its constituents and Diesel thereby releasing obnoxious , choking smell that inhibits breathing and ultimately introduce Carbon monoxide into blood stream which finally de-oxygenate the heamoglobin leading to terminal cycle( death). There is a National program on low sulphur in fuel in December at Chelsea Hotel CBD, Abuja. The aim to bring the sulphur content down from 1500ppm to 50ppm for PMS and from 2500ppm to 100ppm for diesel by the year 2020. If you love the masses, you will support the phasing out of 2-strokes engines(i past my neighbour). Thanks.

I hear sir. They must hasten up and first fix power as a measure to see all those little generators even naturally disappear together with the attendant pollution, rather than always go the fire Brigade approach. The poor deserve to have their peace.
Recall, it's a generator economy we are running. In Nigeria, it's a taboo for you not own a generator.

Another detected APC sympathizer wailing. Open your eyes soon sir

PassingShot:
Wow!
I find this difficult to accept as the right thing to do atm.

Provide electricity and watch the business of importing "I pass my neighbor" die naturally.

Wrong move imo.

Stupid post. Some young people in Nigeria have lost vision completely.

confused President who doesnt know the way forward.

Are Mikano and "I-Better-Pass-My-Neighbour the only generators in Nigeria? Go to rural Bomadi, Patani, Burutu, Sagbama, etc in Delta and Bayelsa states, where there is prevelance of poverty, you will people with nothing more than two rooms making use of elepaq, honda, yamaha, etc that you can use in powering refigerators and pumping machines.

Don't get me wrong. I also make use of the just baned generator when I'm not pumping water or powering the refigerator, whenever I want to watch movies or the news.

Wow!
This is ill-advised and uncalled for. This FG choose to ban the most common capacity of generator in the country. Generator used by students, small saloons, phone/electronic repairers, residential occupants (especially rural communities),etc. Power generation in the country is unstable and not sufficient. Power distribution do not reach rural communities in this country.

Very funny decision.

God bless you oh jare!

Don't you think we have imported enough to give us the basic knowledge to produce something similar??

I don't think federal govt. Will ban the once made in Nigeria
