Electricity workers are the criminals. They collect bribe from customers rather than making them to pay their bills.

In my area i know some people who are in this business with electricity workers.

Each month they come and collect their usual bribe while their bills keep rising and unattended.

I ve encouraged them to get meter for themselves so that they stop getting estimated bill but they are not interested. They are cool with bribery

They closed border against power too.
Soon they will close border against oxygen..or start collecting VAT on breathing

Plus all the billions we spend? I doubt we have spent up to 20-30bn since 1999. We need ten times that.

Kanade21:


You said my source is 'wrong' without giving me your correct source, other than a 'lecture on types of power'.

Well, to be frank, if I had my way, Nigerians would be getting power 24/7 for 2000 naira monthly. I would be consficating all corruptly earned sources of money to pay for it.

The problems start when that source of money dries up.

That's what bothers me.

Good evening. And one more thing, in my intereactions with you, I have noticed you have often resorted to abuse and shouting, and calling me 'government agent'. I have noted all your abuse, and in response, I wish you well in your life endeavours.

Kanade21:


It still has to be paid for. And most of your states cannot afford it....so it would be ordinary people who would pay the bills out of their pockets....which are going to be high.

In other words,,,we are back to the issue of paying for power. Because, not only does it cost $2.2BILLION to generate 1000mw of power (and I believe each state would need about 10000MW or more).....the money issue is still there. (That means each state needs a budget of 20billion dollars to generate power to the max. We haven't mentioned building the state power grids too).

(Nigeria is not a rich country, and corruption makes the matter worse).
