They used to say education was the best legacy to your children. For Nigerians I think we should modify it, a foreign passport is a far better legacy.

When you pay N20 to N60 for something that costs N53 to N80 to make, this is what you get.

No profits, bad service.

You are fond of supporting over taxation.If there was profound evidence of them using the little they've collected,I think Nigerians wouldn't mind being taxed.

But you pay for everything save for fuel that's a bit subsidized and yet they can't get anything right or rather embezzle the little.

Let them start show atleast 1 sector that is working well and put nigerians to shame

My major concern is the masses who've refused to receive sense. When it's time for election, we allow these politicians to let us vote based on ethnic and religious grounds, some even sell their votes with no sight of the big picture.

It's high time people realise that these politicians don't care about you

They deceive and divide you based on religious and ethnic grounds, but they Unite at the top to milk the country dry

Now that there's fuel scarcity , you won't see specific fuel stations for APC or PDP supporters, neither would they give you fuel because you're a Christian or a Muslim .

Whether you vote good or bad leaders, na everybody go hear am
ASUU Strike all their children are abroad getting quality education , you that voted based on ethnoreligious ground is at home, no special school for you that's Christian, Muslim, APC or PDP supporter

Una must receive sense by Force

In 2023we vote APC out. What must PDP or any other party do to solve these probelms you have listed

I am serious. I dont like apc or pdp too

No, this is not about taxes

It is about allowing the private companies that control the distribution and generation of power the right to set their prices above what it costs to produce that power so that they have enough money to pay for improvements

Not the one where it costs 80 naira to produce one kwh of powerand government is setting it at 40to 71 naira sale price

Bythe way discos have been unable to pay taxes because they cannot make enough profit to do so

If you want power 24 seven, let the sector set its price so that money dey for more generation and better transmission.

You cannot pay 400 naira for a car.

The ones that people have paid, how has the money been utilised? I thought diesel and kerosene weren't subsidised? Are they available in the country? How many times have tariffs been increased? How come all those increments have not reflected in better service? Can u also explain what caused grid collapse in technical terms?

Nothing to do with abokis and everything to do with goverment pricing power at a level where companies involved cannot make a profit

And it was started by the previous administration and enshrined in law in such a waythat revising thething means govern ment pays a lot of money as compensation

Let them make it 24 hours first, then tell people to pay, they have been increasing it without any improvement, so your theory does not hold waters at all, the new place I'm staying I was paying 4k when I moved in 2019 now I am paying N42,000 and the light got worse as they kept on increasing it and I kept on paying, so please the government here is at fault, so don't come and say rubbish about increment...

Well when even with the increase , it is still below the cost of production, plus 30 to 40 percent of customers dont pay even with meters installed, what do you expect?

If you were a businessman and goverment set your prices in such a way.that you run at a loss and 40% customers don't pay, how would you run your business?
