DaTruths:
Running generator is far more expensive than any amount NEPA would charge.

The problem is that you guys no dey give light.

When Nigerians protest about bad power supply?

In the next 100 years, that's how it would still be if we don't do anything

IrepChrist:
Nigeria needs leaders that can create wealth. People that can think outside the box. We have the potentials but we lack visionary leaders.

PHAYOL81:


Great that they're now considering full autonomy of power generation and supply. This won't just provide adequate, sustainable and uninterrupted power supply to many capable states of the federation thereby helping the productivity of those states economy but also be a huge source of IGR as well as the reduction in the rate of such states unemployment.
We'll definitely get there if we don't stop pushing for the right change.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

GOD BLESS WESTERN NIGERIA TOO

WE RISE!





Can't blame me, I'm an optimist. provided it's a good move, I always hope it happens and works fine.



If your frustration at my innocent submission is what you termed wisdom, then it's either I need a new dictionary or you're having a dysfunctional brain. Jeez, what's wrong with the kids of nowadays？ No manners, no civil or objective response to an argument or opinion but insults, rants and hate. If you're such an ideal product of bad parenting or broken home, you can always train yourself in good societal engagement and approach. It won't kill you to act it sometimes if you don't have it too. Or are you contented projecting yourself this stvpid to everyone？



That you have a frustrated and d@maged life doesn't mean each and everyone is going through the same rough patch with you. Learn to respect personal opinion and move on if it doesn't align with your belief. You honestly don't have to be frustrated like another product of a bad home. This reaction of yours is totally irrational. You can do better. Or do you still believe your wail will intimidate others into submission？ If that's the root of your frustrated comment, you would do better for yourself by personality checking in into the nearest psychiatric facility. Sweet dreams!

blacknp:
Very ironic, yet na you dey complain about hardship?

Hezzyluv:


Ontop the light we can't even see.

Share Prepaid meter, these sadist no gree make am available. Okay, make we use our money buy the pp meter, na another frustration again. Shey na crime to be a Nigerian ni

It is not a matter of pre-paid meter, it is a matter of bills not being cost reflective....and a matter that a lot of customers do not pay their bills.

Power costs between N50-71 per kwh. The cost of producing that power is above N80 per kwh. Countries who have 24/7 power like Ivory coast have charges as high as N180 per kwh for power in households. And most people pay over there.

Chachamiliano:


How is it not a matter of prepaid meter, what process have the government put to checkmate people not paying sir?

If for example, in my area I have 24 power supply reading on a prepaid meter, the government do not need to bother themselves if I pay or not because the meter will do the needful whenever i exhaust my money. MTN or DStv cannot complain that subscribers are not paying will they?

Westman001:


As expected

Bitterness. You are pained and bitter because I said the TRUTH about the way you reason and how you displayed it.

How you responded to quotes the way you did. And the fact that more than two people shared my view about your comment buttress it all.

You can continue with the level of reasoning capacity you have. You can only hurt people with the same level as yours.

nairalanda1:


True, but at the end, the tarrif is not cost reflective, as in other african countries.

Chachamiliano:


I understand you sir. But they should give us

1. Light
2. Prepaid meter
Then they can charge the rate that is reflective with the cost of power they supply

nairalanda1:


Thanks, but they have to charge cost reflective tarrif so that they can earn the profit to pay for both of the two.

Back when GSM came to Nigeria, it was so expensive, and service was so bad. If you think it is bad now, back then, one could not call between networks, one always got wrong numbers, and forget about browsing, it was non-existent then. And they were charging heavily. Phones too cost the earth then.

But the GSM companies used the profit they made to pay for improvements and attract investment. By 2005, we had better service, and a few years later, home internet.

The discos never had that advantage. As a result, no profit to fix things at all. Add the fact many do not pay for power at all, and you see the palaver.
