Buharri has really messed up the power sector in Nigeria

I am going to blame PDP for this mess...and not the APC.

When PDP privatised power in 2013/14, they brought in a law that made Government to be the one setting the prices that the DISCOS would be charging.

As a result, DISCOS cannot charge the prices they want for power. And they are forced by law to pay for power at a price below the cost of production. Which makes it difficult for them to make money...and by extension to fund new facilities.

Add the fact that many people don't pay for power. (ABUJA DISCO has a compliance rate in some areas as low as 48%, except in Abuja itself)...and add the fact that due to the resulting uncertainty in power....the DISCOS cannot raise enough funding...which prevents them from securing loans from banks (unlike the GSM companies which can get loans from banks because there was no law forcing them to lower their prices, plus you cannot use a phone unless you pay money...you can bypass a NEPA meter though)..and we have the mess that we have.

The way forward is for government to allow DISCOS to charge whatever they want, plus allow competition across boundaries., in addition to making sure everyone gets a prepaid meter.Otherwise, we take a hefty loan of $900bn US dollars just to fix things.

Useless Nigerians. Major problem of beautiful and wonderful Nigeria. Same man would relocate to even Myanmar and start living a normal live. Buh live such in Nigeria, nah they prefer the lawless life in Nigeria. Nigeria must be so tired and fed up with her citizens. Poor Nigeria.

Atiku was not responsible for the DISCOS policy...and he even called for their takeover by the government in 2014 as a APC chieftain.

While prepaid meters would reduce the incidence of people not paying their bills....even with that, some people bypass their meters.

Some years ago, some DISCO officals in the area where I used to live caught a guy bypassing his prepaid meter. The resulting confrontation forced the DISCO guys to call the police.

And at my new residence, the previous renter of one of the neighbouring flats bypassed his meter...and had a fine imposed...which he did not pay(and which my landlord had to sort out before the next tenants came).

I won't be surprised IF the chap in question actually has a meter...and bypassed it.

If anyone is caught bypassing,the right thing to do is get the person arrested and taken to court immediately to serve as deterrent to others.

You are partially right my bro, if you are a resident of Ojodu Abiodun, Ikeja and Ogba. Then, you will never blame the man in any way. The level of intimidation and oppression from this nuisance called IKEDC Officials has reached a denouement. The have been paying for darkness for so long. They will just stroll into your compound and start behaving like they are the one who built your house for you. We have been pushed to the wall.

Seriously this can be painful, they won't give you light but when it comes to the time for disconnection, you will see light that day, and the next day the will carry ladder for disconnection. Give us light no, prepaid meter no, cause they are gaining from postpaid meter. Here in Nigeria we all act as if it doesn't concern us after all i get money for fuel.

That's wrong of him to fight an official doing his lawful duties, he should be arrested and put where he belongs.
