This is no joke. Police Station close by 6 pm, security reason.

but the article actually quoted N16.8 M not N168M

are we hell bent on faking news?

When you inadvently give away your lying and cluelessness.

Kanixt:
I pity apc followers

u don't have to pity them. Just pray for them. Any day a madman knows he's mad that's d day hè starts gaining his sanity

What a NATION

They ve just made a caricature of their promises yet want another chance... Heartless people

Meaning that we the masses have no hope. We should as well make budgets for our generators and fuel. Not forgetting increase in fuel price or scarcity

Lol.. I'm not sure anything can work in this country

I wonder how much will be budgeted for Aso rock hospital and to barb the president hair

only in Nigeria!!!!


Pukes on the post

�.. Funny country !funny leaders! Funny citizens!

What an irony

theoldpretender:
Before we bash anyone...consider this fact.

We generate less than 7000MW of power a day. For 200m people.

Before we can stop budgeting N170m for fuel for generator....we have to generate at least 40000MW plus fix the transmision

And all this needs money.

Now, the funny thing is that most of the people bashing APC or PDP for power are contributing to the problem by not paying their power bills.

And that includes a lot of government agencies as well.

Then the money we pay for power....Ghana has light 24/7 and they pay far more than we do in power bills.

So, Nigerians have to pay their bills, and we also have to pay a bill that is commensurate with the amount of money needed to fix power...because at the end of the day, we need N 5 trillion (according to a report in thisday some 20 years ago) to fix power.

We have to be realistic. Even if we vote out APC tomorrow...the problem will still be looking at us.

sharap...pay bills for light we dont see?why didnt they use that abacha loot to fund the power sector..you are a zombie..lol..fact is nigeria is a failed state under the dullard

Well, we can all shout at APC, but when they go, the problem would still be there...and who will we blame.?

Back when I was a student, I lived in an off campus residence. Out of thrity students living there, only six of us were contributing money to pay the estimated bills PHCN (this was before DISCOS and GENCOS and Buhari and GEj)....

In 2014, Abuja DISCO said that 70% of its customers are not paying.

And the bills we pay...I currently pay N6000 , on a prepaid meter , which would last me for 3 months.

And the DISCOS as a result dont have cash to pay GENCOS. GENCOS don;t have cash to make improvements...and ditto the govt to improve transmission.

And there is a good reason GEJ handed over to DISCOS...the money needed is not small.

Call me zombie, call me all the names in the book.....I am not here to defend government. Or to attack them. We have a problem with power in this country. We are not doing our part to improve things. And if we don't pay our bills regularly, or even admit that the bills we pay are a oke...then when are we going to get improvement?

Better wake up.

I daresay it could have...but even if they injected the money into power...it won't improve things much.

We need far more than that. And is it only power we would spend it (mind you, I don;t agree with them spending it on tradermoni...something like that is better run by charities, and private organisations or NGO's not government)...we have railways, university education, even health that also need that money....

Like I said earlier...we need trillions of naira...N5 trillion, to fix the whole thing. And that means bills have to go up, we take loans greater than 400million USD to improve stuff...and government agencies, and most people have to pay their bills.....

Power needs money for fixing...and since it has been mostly privatized (which is why Fashola is running three ministries combined...power no longer has much to do now that DISCOS and GENCOS are around)..the money is coming from our pockets...hence the complaint I have about people and govt agencies not paying their bills.

(Even when govt ran the thing, as NEPA, many people too did not pay their bills as well).

NIGER DELTA CRUDE OIL MONEY IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE FOR THE "BIG MEN IN GOVERNMENT" TO SPEND WASTEFULLY.

Government in Nigeria from the federal to the state and to the local council do not know how to create national wealth.

Only to spend, and spend and spend.

By the time crude oil money from the Niger delta region is not available for them to abuse. They will eat their fingers to run the government.

Topccy007z:
This is a shame.
A matter that should better be kept secret like our reproductive organs
Just like saying an old man developing milk teeth

N SOME SAY D NA IS CORRUPT

pacino26:
The confusion in this country can't be defined by the dictionary. Is it that the people in the ministry haven't heard of other non fossil fuels that they will keep talking about generators and petrol

In a bid to steal we make collective ridiculous budgets and publishing same without fear.

Guess how much Obasanjo and Atiku's government from 1999_2007 spent for power generation and distribution?

Nothing less than $16BILLION

Let me spell it for you, SIXTEEN BILLION DOLLARS!!!

Where is the power?
