Chizuru01:This isn't about about APC, periodic increase in tariff was built into the privatisation agreement of the power sector by the Jonathan administration. If the agreement was followed in toto, we would be paying double of what we are paying now. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

StrikeBack:There cannot be uninterrupted electricity without increase in tariff. The current tariff is not sustainable in the long run. The solution is individuals investing in solar. 26 Likes 3 Shares |

Inasmuch as people would shout 'We are poor'...here are some hard facts 1.We need to generate power above 40000MW 2.We also need to fix transmission systems 3.All these will cost trillions of naira. 4.And the way forward is by allowing DISCOS to set the price they want to set (yes, government should stop setting prcies). Back in 2001...GSM came to Nigeria, with outrageous prices. We all complained. And the service was initailly poor. But thanks to the freedom affroded them to do their business they could raise funds to build from scratch the telephone and internet service we have today. All those GSM infrastructure you see is the result of allowing GSM companies freedom to set their prices. If we keep on shortchanging the power sector....we will never see 24/7 light. Power companies cannot attract investment. They cannot even take loans from banks because the banks know they won't see their money....because the DISCOS aren't making enough profit to fund their operations, talkess of paying back a loan. You are free to insult me, call me insensitive. But if I was in power and I forced you as a rice salesman or woman to sell rice at N7000 below the price you bought it....because of the masses...won't you go broke in a few years? Won't you sack your workers in a few years?? Let's stop acting like Communists. We don't have enough cash to run a Communist economy. If you want a communist economy, form a Marxist-Lenninist party, and implement your own state controlled prices...but the sad thing is that capitalism works. It hurts people, but it also benefits more people. Let's run power like a capitalist enterprise. 32 Likes 7 Shares |

We have no problem paying the appropriate tarrif for stable electricity, but this is Nigeria, so our fear is the incremental tarrif not reflecting in stable electricity distribution due to ingrained corruption. Thank God Buhari asslickers will be exempted from the proposed increase. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Good for Nigerians. Sai baba. Saro Wiwa spoke up, they killed up. Charley boy spoke up, they manhandled him Nnamdi Kanu spoke up, they almost killed him Sowore spoke up, they arrested him Sai Baba. Yorubas keep slamming and blaming Sowore for fighting for what he believes and what is actually the truth. Shallow minded people refused to give him support and stand by him. they let the man sink and waste. they will keep taking you one by one when you do not stand together and refute this oppression. Nnamdi Kanu came, they called him so many names. Yorubas and Hausa teamed up together and tried to annihilate him. Well, the Igbos tried to stand by him but the forces against em kept pushing back. Charley boy came out and they laughed at him and called him names. Even 2face who called for the protest disappointed all. He started the plan but he cowered like a man suffering from Erectile Dysfunction. Charley boy took it up and everyone else kept quiet. Make we no talk oh make we no die. It is edging closer. Sai baba, we will keep sai-ing together 4 Likes 1 Share |
