All these discos should stop 'discoing' around and just give people power
Re: Sit Up Over Power Supply - Discos Tell Buhari by 9gerian: 7:36am On Mar 25, 2019
Once everyone is metered, there would no longer be free money (except the backlog of over inflated crazy bills) and the discos would be forced to transmit generated electricity power or they lose huge revenue going forward.

is not about giving meters are we going to have constant light? this country self

So power dropping due to technical problems happens only in this part of the world? If you want to know what improving means, Tell me our EG in last 16years and the growth in the last 4years and I will explain further to you.

Facts and figures I need and not hearsay.

What has improved in the last 4 years. We are not even were GEJ left it. Let's quit the propaganda. I supported PMB over GEJ. It's nothing personal from here.

God bless you so much for this sensible comment sir.
With youths like you, the future of our country is bright.
Slow and steady we will get to the NEXT LEVEL.
God bless our President MUHAMMADU BUHARI and his amiable Vice president Prof Yemi OSIBANJO.
God bless Nigeria.

Exactly what is sensible about that senseless comment. Four years is gone, supervised the addition of only 150Mw or so. Busy doing historicals. Exactly when will you people get to work and do what you were elected to do...

This is really getting disgusting.

You cannot distribute what is not generated. Generate the electricity, then they will distribute it

You can't give what you do not have. Rather, ask your government to generate stable electricity for them to distribute.


I realised that ignorance is the main killer of Nigeria and its people.

Where's Fashola that said during Jonathan's government that a serious Government should be able to fix the power sector in 6 months? Now heat is killing Nigerians he's no where to be found. The DISCO that is advising Buhari, is like they are not aware that Buhari isn't aware of anything going on in this country?

Re: Sit Up Over Power Supply - Discos Tell Buhari by Freemanalee(m): 8:39am On Mar 25, 2019
See this people...are u guys aware that indigenes in the North don't pay electricity bill? Indigenous areas have more light and pay next to nothing while non indigenous areas pay to the ceiling with little or no light. The power sector should be fully privatised and let's see if things won't change. Just like the Telecom sector you don't expect MTN to give network to one area and give none to the other area cos they need to pay their workers salaries. If they don't provide network to the areas who uses and pay for their services then they would be out of business..this is not a record science nau

Discos are distribution companies. They sell electricity. The FG is responsible for generating and selling that electricity to the Discos.

But the FG has been blaming them of poor electricity of late even though they are not at fault.

And the FG knows this. But incompetence wouldn't allow them do the proper thing.

Seems like the Discos are tired of getting the axe for something that is no fault of theirs.

The only mistake they made is not asking Fashola too to sit up.
bro point of correction try and edit it gencos is under private sector is only the transmission that FG are controlling

If PDP moved at this pace His Excellence, President Mohammadu Buhari (GCFR) is moving, we won't be complaining this much about power.

When ordinary OBJ and Atiku looted $16,000,000,000 meant for this same power we talking about today.

Slow and steady, we will get there. Disco's should STFU and get to job.

Bros... For about four months there have been no power supply to my town.... From 1960-2019 we are still talking about "slow and steady" What is stopping them from developing the power sector with aggression ...Atleast try to be neutral on serious issues that makes the country lag behind in terms of development..
Re: Sit Up Over Power Supply - Discos Tell Buhari by sheltergreen: 8:50am On Mar 25, 2019
Put the prepaid meters in the open-market (as much as we have phones/cable decoders in the market), and DISCO can shut up. Nigerians will walk into licensed stores and purchase meters (cash and carry) as much as they need.

it's amazing how you guys jump in to justify incompetence by comparing with previous incompetence. I wonder why a desire to improve is not a default part of the Nigerian mentality.

You are content with the state of electricity in Nigeria, abi?
Incompetence is selling PHCN to political friends who have no idea on how to power the country

Accurate4u:






guy, l think your mumu no be small. which improving in this government are refer to, is it the dropping of power generated according to layers statistics of power distribution l guess you don't know what is happening around stop spreading nonsense
The guy is just a party agent who has lost his reasoning power. PDP messed up, but that isn't a good reason for APC to be messing up simple things like prepaid meters. Check average cost of building power systems around the world and compare to what APC has spent so, then ask yourself if they ve done enough.

Oga you supply the facts and figure that supports your own argument. APC has performed poorly. Even poorer than PDP in power sector.

Well said
9gerian:
The Discos should hide their faces in shame...

Only the gullible do not understand your game after all the deliberate sabotage capitalizing on the power minister’s limited knowledge about the workings on generation and transmissions to offer all sorts of excuses for rejecting generated power only to prefer issuing crazy estimated bills. In other words, you fraudulent discos are making so much free money as long as you issue estimated bills for power you refused to transmit to the people. The result being that power supply would only improve at the high end users where the whole area is metered, but much worse where estimated bills are being issued. It is not rocket science for those that are intelligent!!!

The more pathetic aspect is that you have projected and built-in enough illegal charges into the crazy bills, and you now force the users to pay (or get disconnected) when they eventually get prepaid meters. ROGUES trying to sound intelligent!!!

The government should monitor the activities of the discos because they will never support the independent meter companies but would rather frustrate them.

The Efcc should investigate both the NERC and the discos and all their evil saboteurs that benefit from the epileptic electricity supply to see the crazy money they made from crazy estimated bills!!! The NERC is very complicit for the fraud to have continued for so long.

The legislature should pass a bill writing off all the crazy estimated bills, and watch these rogues scream blue murder! Wicked souls!!!

Let me dignify your "follow come" ignorance once and for all.


When something important is happening in minna like a visit by the power minister or the recent presidential election, power would be stable for days and afterwards it's back to 4 hours in the morning and 4 hours at night just like anti malaria medication. Does it mean STABLE electricity is only generated during these periods?

Or the inability of the said companies to fix or replace broken down transformers is due to the consumers' ignorance.

You better go and wash your brain and leave my post alone. I'm not feeling too well.

This heat no be here!

Lol, funny guy. DISCOs do not have storage capacity for electricity, they distribute it immediately it is fed to them. So it is not like there is some where they are storing the power and refusing to give it to you. If you happen to get some unusual level of constant power supply in a stretch, and at a period when an event is taking place, know that else where some others are being denied their fair share of power to make it possible.


You are right that failure to repair bad equipment by DISCOs contribute to the power problem, but those are just peripheral causes.
