Bubu the destroyer... Everything he touches gets roasted! Modrov:Have you compared this economy with what we have in countries where they pay a lot more for electricity? Before you say Nigerians underpay the power sector, have you looked at the minimum wage? Our economy is so bad that any increase in cost of basic services will not only further reduce our purchasing power, it will kill it! 3 Likes |

FILEBE: We don't have normal power supply because we see power as a right and not as the product it actually is. As a result we underpay our power sector and in return our power sector does not have the money to fix or upgrade things 1 Like |

Modrov: They payment of cost reflective tariffs can only be justified if all are metered........the concentrations of DISCOs should be on metering all customers not cost increment. Estimated bill is obvious corruption 3 Likes |

⏩This government wants tariffs, taxes, service charges etc to be like internationally recommended levels. ❌ But when it comes to salaries and allowances of workers, they do all their best to keep it at slave plantation levels. ❌ ⏩That is part of the reasons doctors are leaving for Saudi Arabia. ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️ 5 Likes |

Modrov: What did I just read? For real? . We are paying for this power, aren't we? It is not for free. We are paying . We even pay much more . What kind of excuse are you making for them? What is the total power output we currently generate? Is it an ideal one to serve Nigeria? If we generate enough power to go round , I might have said you are right. But, I am sorry, you are wrong 3 Likes |
Re: Confusion As Disco Announces Tariff Increase, NERC Silent by Nobody: 7:13am On Aug 29, 2021 |
Andyvilly: They should but even then ultimately the problem is one of people not paying a cost reflective tarrif Even if we let states do as you said, the fact that they won't be allowed to charge coat reflective tariffs means that they won't be able to run their power systems profitably. Which can lead to breakdowns and then back to square one 2 Likes |

Modrov: Even if each customer starts paying N100,000 monthly, there can't be regular power supply in Nigeria.Do you know how much income they make monthly on estimated billing alone?Who accounts for its usage? Even if u are disconnected,u will still be getting bills by estimation and Nigerians have been paying for services not rendered which is the highest form of scam. Prepaid metering is what we need so dt any month I don't need light,I will stay without paying anyone a kobo. 4 Likes 1 Share |

FILEBE: We are.paying for power Not at the price the discos need it to be to make a profit. That's why. Meanwhile in the GSM sector we have bettwr telephony than we did in the 1980s because we paid rates that enabled the GSM companies to make a profit to build up all the infrastructure that we use to chat and browse. 1 Like |

Benjaniblinks: Discos can only raise prices at a level set by goverment , which is below the cost of production. Always has been since 2013. If government had deregulated them, they would be charging as high as 100 naira per kwh by now. 1 Like |

Re: Confusion As Disco Announces Tariff Increase, NERC Silent by Andyvilly: 7:23am On Aug 29, 2021 |
Wasn't the major aim is to privatize the power sector like telecommunication sector without government intervention? Different power vendors for the consumers to choose from?and I don't even understand why we still have unused/undistributed power going to waste if they are looking to make profit why they don't they distribute it.
