saaron: LOL.....there were grid collpases back then too. Also part of the reason why it is getting worse...the grid's carrying capapcity is being stretched. More people using power every year. |

Kanade21:Okay, what about business tax payers money, money generated from oil proceeds. Tell me about that, woun't that little sum from the national coffers at least solve the power issue. You can't expect the people to trust a governement that hasn' t set the foundation with the little earnings it gets from the country. The national revenue is for the people, i and you include and isn't wholly for the FG. If he really wanted to see changes, he would have used a part of the national reveneue and fuelled the system, made the amends and when the power system is strong to sustain itself, the people would take over.

Getting steady power supply, we must be ready to pay through our nose. If we can calculate how much fuel will give us steady power supply for a month in our homes, if we can pay such as electricity Bills, then we re closer to realizing the dream of power supply stability. But are we ready to spend and pay such? 2 Likes |

Eberejesus111: What if I told you that the problem is that the cash needed is beyond what we can raise from taxes, oil revenues, etc. At the moment, our reserves is at 40billion dollars. We need far more than that to upgrade, and extend the grid. Someone even said we need $900billion over 15 years before we get power stable. That's why power was privatised. Take GSM. GSM was private from the word go. And bills were intially sky high. The GSM companies took the money we paid them....and used it to build our telephone and internet netowrk. If government was paying for the thing....by now we would still be struggling with VSAT...and seriously limited phone network (and we won't have home internet...we would still be using cafes..and slow speed). Problem with power privatisaiton is that people can use power without paying for it. People and government agencies don't pay their bills, and people bribe and connive with DISCO officials to steal power. And at the end of the day, we are all worse off for it. 6 Likes |

GidiWoodsMan:I never hear of that one What I am saying in essence is that these peanut change we pay as electricity Bill's won't lead us anywhere. My uncle lives in an estate in porthacourt managed by his oil company. Their house rent is close to a mil..and they rarely have blackouts apart from maintenance hours which doesn't go past an hour in 5 days or a week. Figure it out..luxury isn't cheap at all Meters are good but people bypass it like jumping a queue.. Else people should just stick to their solar panels and generators . 2 Likes |

surgical: No matter how much you think I am a bad person, the fact is, we need cash to make the thing better. And the cash is not going to come from the sky. We need $900bn over 15 years to get to where we need to go power wise. And it was the experts who said that. You cannot demand for something that costs N100000 at just N10. (You would end up sounding riddiculous like the minsiter who said food can be gotten for N30). Yes, we are poor. Very poor. But we cannot always have everything free of charge. If you were running a business, would you like it if I took your stuff for free?? Where do you think the bad government comes from?? Bad people. 1 Like |
