Kanade21:I weep for this country bro..even if each houses pay 1m naira monthly, corruption would not allow for improvement of power.. Obasanjo approved more than $10billion for the construction of various power plant nation wide, not even a single megawatt of electricity was generated....same thing is happening now. When Nigerians are ready, we would make it great.....For now and with everything happening there is no hope for Nigeria. 2 Likes |

Kanade21:This are propaganda from an inept government We don't need a arm and a leg to solve the electricity problem of Nigeria,all it requires is the cheer political will of a government that is sincere,examples abound about governments who have succeeded in this regard But then the people gets the kind of government they deserve,when they are tired,they will know what to do 1 Like |

seankafor: Bro this is 2019, electric power is no more a luxury. Progressive nations are thinking in terms of clean energy and building windfarms & more nuclear reactors. Why would you even talk of an oil & gas worker paying that much as rent? What percentage of Nigeria's working population is employed by the oil & gas industry? How many households in Nigeria earn a million naira per annum? Less than 10℅, I can wager. If you're going to be elitist at least do it with the right information.... 2 Likes |

bentwood85: Well, wherever some of us ask for a closer look at all cases of the corrupt in Nigeria, people come and call us names. I think PDP needs to be investigated for corrupt activities, including the GEJ admin. Somehow that makes me a stooge of the Hasuas, and complicit in a plot to islamise Nigeria. I also think APC needs to be investigated too for corrupt activites. And that makes me....an IPOB member. That's why I've stopped being too poltical on Nairaland. And in my daily life. Nigerians really love to talk about fighting corruption, but really don't want to do a thing about it. 1 Like 1 Share |

surgical: Good, go and campaign for a better government. I think you need to be out in the field campaigning for office, and getting into power. By the time you see the problem, when in power, especially why we are taking loans, and why things aren't any better...you'll see., Im no government propagandist. I'm a realist who thinks we need to liberalise our economy so that investment would flow in to build the stuff we need. Sadly APC nor PDP like my ideas.....and I don't like either party. So, stop moaning, join a party and do something. I'm not the government. I'm just a silly joker commentator with ideas that don't work here. |

frankmoney: Ghana has a population of 30.6 million, compared to Nigeria with a population of 180million, if they can generate 5000MW of electricity despite not being a oil producing nation, then shame on Nigeria for not generating a minimum 30,000MW. 1 Like |

seankafor: Is Ghana a first world nation? Last time I checked Ghana has more stable power supply than Nigeria. We know people will eventually pay premium prices but at least make the damned thing available first. Do you prefer the current system of estimated billing where they make you pay for what you cannot see? |
Re: Darkness pervades the country as national grid collapses again by anthony86(m): 11:18am On Nov 09, 2019 |
There can only be constant power supply when government takes its hands of power supply business and allow private companies to run both generation and distribution. Just like the telecommunications sector as long as the hand of Government is in the cookie Jar there will be no power for all. |

brainhgeek: Do German power consumers 1.Refuse to pay their bills as and at when due. 2.Chase away german power workers from reading their meters. 3.Pay as low as Nigeria? (Germans pay N120 naira per kilowat hour. Nigerians pay N50 at most per kilowat hour). 4.Germany uses Nuclear and green power. Nigeria ? (We cannot use nuclear power now, we are so backward) 5.German taxes are 50% of their annual income. Nigeria 0-24% 6.German GDP is much higher than Nigerian GDP. If you want German level of power...pay German level of money (at which point you would be crying that Nigerians don't earn as much as germany...yet you want what the germans have without paying at their level!) 2 Likes |

Kanade21: Dear sir I refuse to accept your position. Nigerians will pay for power if they enjoy what they are using. Till now, people are still being yoked with monumental estimated bills for very poor power supply in many areas and they are paying! In other areas, Discos are allocating their supply to metered areas where they are sure of generating their revenue but this is few and far between because in spite of the cries and pleas from Nigerians everywhere prepaid meters still remain a scarce commodity. As for the issue of bypassing meters, there will always be deviants so the onus remains on the discos to devise effective monitoring strategies to block those leakages if they are serious. How much has been spent by the government in transforming the power sector in the last 5 years? Why is there no appreciable improvement in the power experience. What is our current power generating capacity compared to 2015? Why has there not been a significant impact? Do you have these figures? Why did the Minister for Power assure the power issue would be resolved in 6 months what he has been unable to resolve in 5 years? 1 Like |

Fiyin007: 1.So basically, you want power free of charge? 2.What about Obasanjo? Yes, the 16bn was embezzled...but if it was used...it costs 2.21BILLION to generate 1000MW. That means if the money was spent, we would have 5000MW . Taking us up to 9000MW. Lagos needs 10000MW (as at 2010) for 24 hour a day power, seven days a week, 365 days a year. 2 Likes |
