5,000 megawatts for a population of 180 million.
How much is southafrica generating with lesser population?

If we are to take into consideration that Nigerians contribute to buy and maintain transformers, eletric poles, wires that ought to be the responsibilty of DISCOS, it is not the cheapest.

South Africa pays higher and more than we do

And even then they are having routine blackouts now..

Also SA has nuclear power electric generation

.

Are you paying workers well??

Do you give constant light??

Acekidc4:
It's true na, compare our cost to other Countries own, you will see that we are enjoying in this our Country.

Like in my Area here, we enjoy Electricity a lot and at a Cheaper Cost.

I know in some Areas, Nepa are not doing Well at all.

Compare how constant electricity is in other countries to Nigeria , it's better to pay higher for constant electricity than pay low for on and off electricity

Okay

And minimum wage in Nigeria is the highest all over the world.

Mumu people.

so you are judging with your area?

do you use prepaid or postpaid?

do you know some spend 30-40k monthly on light no matter how you try to manage it?

is that what you call cheap

no mind idiots in power,

they will never compare minimum wage and living wages, never

i already see their zombies shouting its true its true

Another stupid propaganda from the SATANIC GOVT OF SELF SERVING THIEVES AND BLOODTHIRSTY TERRORISTS! . Awon eleribu gbogbo!
Buhari! hurry up come and be going!

We have some really stupid people In this country. Why not provide the amount (or even more) of megawatts of electricity Nigeria needs, then see how generators will be phased out and revenue will soar?

I think we're not yet ready to move out of this phase of lack of electricity.

There are many things Nigerians benefit that they don't know.

Toh.....

If you can afford it, better rush do solar panel now.

E get why.

Sure. Na why I dey fall sick without AC. Ac 24/7. I I. Me.
I must burn that meter with the transformer...I love heavy load

Mynd44

We don't want the cheapest, we want 24hrs electricity idiots. What is cheap about burning 1000 Naira fuel every night... Thats 30k a month plus your useless electric bills.

Fraudulent claim
Why use dollars to compare

These people are not okay.... they're comparing the rate in Nigeria with countries we're actually supplying with power.

Pay as you use most Nigerians will still not pay but boycott and expect better power

FG should encourage private investors allow them use old pole
Each investor in giving 1 local governmentt handle then we know defaulters easily
If power was paid for many foreign investors will Come in

Goats ... provide the power...and see if people won't pay, do you know how much average Nigeria spend on running generator every day?..why Nigeria own be always hard... can't they just learn from other countries... useless animals in agbada

The reason why we have low on and off electricity is because the low bills do not allow the DISCOS and GENCOS to make enough profit to make improvements, and to pay the TCN to make improvements too.(which is why TCN is fighting them over money).

And one of the cheapest labour in the world except politicians

Werey dem
Say na the cheapest
Shey na as other countries dey give regular supply of electricity to them citizen, na so una dey give us.......?
Thunder fire dat mouth una use talk am
Set of crazy and mad people in power

D cost of unemployment is the highest in the world also

With which money?

The low bills charged (as at 2019, the gencos were producing power at N53 per kwh and discos were selling it at N20-30 per kwh) is why they cannot provide more power.

We have good GSM and internet because the government lets them charge for their services at a price they want to charge. Plus, you cannot bypass the payment mechanism.

With electric power

1.Government for decades has been setting the price below the production cost...even AFTER privatization
2.One can bypass the meters and use electricity for free.

What about the minimum wage being paid in Nigeria, you didn't tell us that it is the lowest in the world.

Is the supply regular as in other nations?

nairalanda1:
It is cheap

What we pay for in 4 months for 22 hours power supply daily in Nigeria to a big 5 bedroom house is what overseas people pay for a month's supply to a one bedroom flat.

Where in Nigeria is there 22 hours a day for 4 months

funshint:
These people are not okay.... they're comparing the rate in Nigeria with countries we're actually supplying with power.

The fact those countries charge higher is why they can afford sustained power.

Plus, Ghana gets 25% of its gas supply for power from Nigeria, for example.

Where in the world are workers paid 25k equivalent per month Senseless fg

Do we have power in this country self. It's supposed to be free. While some are having power supply some don't have atall and u expect to pay for what you didn't use. Naija context is a CRIME

Did add fuel we Nigerians buy everyday?dem no born anybody well make he no get fuel for his house

FG no lie for this one, but we nor get the light to use

If you think low bills is the reason Nigeria doesn't have constant electricity then you have little knowledge of the power problem in Nigeria , all these companies you mentioned are just power distribution companies
