I have supported most moves by this government but on this I do not agree. I personally don't mind paying as much as 200k per month for electricity ( I currently pay about 13k monthly and about 450k on generator ) however, you can't ask people to pay 225 when they don't get even up to 8 hours of electricity per day. It is madness and absolutely unacceptable.

Nigerians should not be made to suffer for the problem the corruption of the middle class brought upon us.

I hope people stand up against this nonsense.

I don't support Asiwaju at all in this removal of subsidy on Electricity.
I agree with Mr Femi Falana SAN assertion that Asiwaju and his western trained lackeys are carrying out a supremist,hardship and suffocating agenda of the IMF and the World Bank.
The suffocation of the masses by the removal of subsidy in every phase of life will soon be met by a massive protest that will cripple this nation.
I'm very very sure they are holding Asiwaju to ransom,these suffocating agenda is definitely because Asiwaju wants to borrow money from these Financial Bandits.
I'm sure we will soon start hearing of loans being approved to Nigeria now that their agenda has been fully implemented.
These western bandits are only interested in the disruption of the country,and I liken them to the advisers a King consulted in the Bible. The name of the King was Rehoboam,the son of King Solomon, the people went to meet him to ask his plans for them after the death of his Father.
According to the story in the bible,the king consulted the elders who told him to soften the hardship in the land,but after consulting with his youthful advisers,they encouraged him to add more to the pain of the masses.
The Youth in the bible story are these Western Terriorist disguised as Financial Institution.
We know how the story ended in the Bible,the masses revolted and that's how Israel got split into 2.
There's a limit to how long the masses can endure these suffocation. Asiwaju shouldn't add more to the burden the masses are already enduring, otherwise we will revolt.
God bless the masses
God bless Nigeria.

Nairaland should have a very strong and strict age check in place and possibly mental health checks in place due to miscreants like you.

Minsk24:

Mrpojj:

So they did and increments from 68 naira per kwh to 225naira kwh, and they are saying it's just 52% reduction in their purported subsidy
Meaning they are still helping u pay the remaining 48%...l laugh....
They are just saying this so that in the next 3years they will come for more increments

Who are those on band A? I think this is just an avenue to rip the masses

As We crave to have a functional infrastructures like good roads, hospitals, schools, power.
We should also realise that it requires money to deliver what we crave for.
Social economy is not sustainable for over 200million population with low GDP
The population of Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar put together are not up to Nigeria's
The increase in revenue of the govt will lead to subsequent increase in infrastructures, wages and services.
I stand with Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his Economic reforms.

So you also think others think so? Paying 200k a month on how much salary? Besides, I hope you all know that electricity is not more essential than food and education, so a man has to feed, clothe and educate his family before giving thought to some of these other bills. It simply means that these people do not wish a good life for the citizenry. They are not even thinking of 24hrs electricity. I would have wished they provide the electricity first, then start negotiating the fee.

If I may ask. What does the government now subsidize? They have removed subsidy on petroleum, education, and now electricity. These people are wicked. Shouldn't they have increased wages first? Now they will feast on the money they removed from subsidy, just like they are already doing through budget padding. Nigerians I pity.

tollyboy5:

Most of the A band listed area in Lagos are just middle class area with alot of poor people.
Now we're confuse of your definition of rich.

Why not increase minimum wages instead of suffocating Nigerians with excess tax?
We now pay the same as USA that has minimum wage over ₦1m, but pay ₦30k as minimum wage?!
To increase Tax you copy USA , to increase salary you forget USA . Wickedness in high places.

ivandragon:
Lol.

Nigerians don't still understand the one chance they have entered.

Like I have always said, the strategy of those at the helm of affairs would squeeze the life out of you, then give you a litre of oxygen and say they have achieved the unachievable by giving a litre of oxygen.

melodyogonna:
So this Band A stuff basically means the government will stop subsidizing for rich people?
