I own a laundry outfit. AEDC of Abuja came and told me my meter was faulty and they would need to change it. So I said ok and they went with it. Although they connected me directly. I kept calling to know when they will bring the meter, they kept telling me that to exercise patience. After two month they brought bill of 89k when I went to complain at the office they told me it's for the time I've used the light directly. Then I told them that I've been coming to ask for my meter and they have been telling me to exercise patience. So they told me to make payment and I will get my meter. I did. Only for me to wait a month for the meter but they didn't bring it. To my utmost dismay they gave me another bill of 80k after two months. That was when I told them to cut the light and that I will not make any payment untill I get my meter. For 2 weeks now I dont have light. I've been running on generator. This is the country we live in. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

tensazangetsu20: I know people who are cashing it big in Abuja as a mechanic. If you know your job and you are honest, you will make it Nigeria. Most important business quality lacking in Nigeria right now is Honesty and Trust. But once Nigerians trust you as a business man, money will not be your problem. 3 Likes 1 Share |

yusufu16:That was before o. Trust me mechanics are everywhere. If your car breaks down anywhere in Nigeria there's a mechanic village nearby. To get the big men cars isn't given on merit. I really took my time to learn the mechanic trade as I have an engineering degree. I even took online courses with top mechanics abroad and paid for a very high end scan tool which was all of my savings as of then. You really need connections to fix cars of big men and they always ask for something in return. This one isn't hearsay this is something I have personally experienced. Most big men mechanics you see belong to these cult groups or have relatives in very high places. 2 Likes |

Find a niche within your area of expertise. Eg installing android radios into car dashboards. |

tensazangetsu20: You need to remove your mind from Nigerian mentality (success is not by connection). Like I say, I have seen alot of mechanics making it big in Abuja without any connection. Even if you have 1000 mechanics in a street, you can still make it as a mechanic. Business is all about competition. If you cant stand competition you will not succeed. I have seen woman who fry akara on the street, build house, buy car and sent her kids to university. I can tell you, your mindset was what made you quit the mechanic business. 3 Likes |

Hammyaladin: Power problem is simple problem made difficult by our politicians and leaders. The solution to power problem can be provided in many ways. 1. Invitation of multinationals: when the distribution sector of PHCN was privatized, the distribution sector was taken over by local investors, e.g. BEDC, Benin Electricity Distribution Company. These set of people borrowed from banks, while they have no technical capacity. In all, the ventured into the business to dupe the country, yet the government is still pumping money into the already privatized distribution sector. Multinationals such as Siemens, General Electric, ABB etc, with over 50 to 100 years experience could have come with billions of dollars, to invest in the distribution sector. The government could as well handed over the generation and transmission to them. These multinationals showed interest, but government said they wanted to develop local investors, but they were government cronies. Will tell you more 1 Like |

Hammyaladin: Continued from where I stopped. I believe there is a conspiracy of terror on Nigeria, to make her underdeveloped. 2. Second solution is from the point above. And that is the exclusive legislative list. Power and electricity should not be on that list. Presently, it is only the federal government that has the right and legal power to determine any direction we face as per electricity matter. Despite the fact that we have generators in our houses, under the law, they are illegal. Every state or local government should have the right to generate her own power and be able to transmit and distribute to any customer without the intervention of Abuja National grid is another evil troubling our power sector. All power generated must be connected to the national grid, and a control center determines who has power supply. National grid is obsolete, and should be broken down into regions or states. |
