Colo-mentality now make you hear me now

metering Nigerians abi milking Nigeria

LegendHero:


Which of the money spent? If the records are online, I can give it.

Also the government is too big and constitute people of varying kleptomaniac tendencies. So you can’t expect them to be all pure, it’s impossible.

Some will definitely steal and no messiah can stop the average Nigerian man from stealing funds even at private companies let alone government.

But if they can at least complete 90% of the goal to be achieved, that is fine by me.

But in United States all the expenses made by the government is available. See one thing that is killing an average Nigerian is ignorance. Some of our African brothers are shocked the way we let things slide. The worse part is when people speak up you find a way to make it a tribal war or my president between your candidate. This is absolutely wrong and these people don see us finish cos all of us will fold our hands and watch as they loot as much as they can.

This is the threshold the government is watching us now to see our next move and after that there will be another public out cry and tribal wars continue. I'm sorry to say but Nigerians are no collectively smart we are simply deceiving ourselves

CodeTemplar:
Is MTN Glo or Airtel meeting govt for loans to produce SIM cards? Why buy metre for a private company. They make it sound like metre is such a big thing.

Electricity in Nigeria is not wholly private.

If subsidizing the industry by FG mean people will have access to meter, then I welcome the decision.

Electricity and metering is damn expensive. When they increased the tariff of band A people, no be us dey complain about too much cost?

How many poor Nigerians can afford meters if private agency are the one purchasing it to sell? Think about it nao

Back in the 60s, Nigeria used to keep record of government spending and there is much transparency but over the years, it got opaque and no one even know what’s up with government spending.

I agree with you that government need to find a way to publicize this spending and be accountable for how each naira got spent. That will even help the president himself.

However, you have to understand Nigeria. That a book account says 500k is spent on buying books does not imply that it was actually spent. People change books anyhow and we should work based on our own realities and stop having too much expectation as we would have abroad.

If they put you today to an agency where you can easily write 1bn off, it will take grace of God for you to not be tempted.

Nigeria only need one thing, rule of law and setting examples. Most of the things we ask already exists, it’s just that there is no enforcement of law.

the private arm is responsible for that.

Do you think we have 92 million households? Think it well o. That's 2.2 persons average per meter-able household. Even if all self-contain apartments have metre, itcant reach 5 million. Never.

This is a loan to cover fiscal cracks and not one useless metering.

Offpoint1:
Only 30% will be use for the purpose, the rest goes to`

If APC still wins Next Election...Then some Nigerians are irredeemable till thy kingdom come.

My brother no worry yourself they will win next election…This is Nigeria and Nigerians not America and Americans.

I don’t care if there are 1 trillion or just 50 households. They should just get everywhere metered so people won’t die from this estimated billing.

Even if it is private, nothing stop government from intervention because many Nigerians can’t afford the true cost of those meters if private agencies were to sell them.

For the money budgeted, people need to follow up to make sure it is used for intended purpose. That is the only issue and not the actual intent.

Don't tell me you are thinking the remaining 70% will go to a town hall different from Bulaba?

No na.

It can't be.

We are pushing a renewed hope agenda and on that mandate we stand gidigba.

Corrupt country that cannot boast of anything good

Why not channel the $500M to generate stable electricity for the nation

Why can't they allocate it in naira

How people still support and defend this criminal government is still what baffles me

I live close to one of the supporters who is also a nairalander. He lives in abject poverty. He accepts that everything about him is going bad but don't speak bad about APC and Tinubu.

naija we hail thee. All the loans collected by buhari for metering Nigerians, where did it go? The circle continues

a country that runs on borrowed economy everyday loan,loan shior www.cattylove.com

The will rush to approved stuffs like this ,but when it comes to minimum wage they will be running like nkpulu amu

Does this mean the meter will be provided free? I don't really understand

we already have meter manufacturing companies in Nigeria and they will be beneficiaries of the contract to supply the meters

Mitsurugi:
So we can't even build that?

I used to think there's a company that produces meter along Owerri-Umuahia expressway

Hmmm.....$500 million dollars?

Which statistics did they use to know this amount will handle the metering

Oooh .....I forgot , Tinubu said......" Na statistics we go chop"...

Funny Government, you can't build your house with substandard materials and think it won't collapse when the rain and tides come ...

Check my signature for details .....

Scam
Nigeria has EMCON in zaria for producing meters
Why not increase capacity instead of looking for excuses to borrow and steal USD

This is another Loan,for this Project!
So,what happens to all the Budgets and Loans before now?
Corruption has finished DISCOS and the entire Power - Ministry.
Anyway,don't expect anything here the Loan is in Foreign Currencies!

Ogbodavies:
where the savings from fuel subsidy removal

that was what i was asking one die-heart apc supporter yesterday

Embezzlement galore for the senate
If you know you know

This is not what Nigerians need now! People are suffering and you are $500 million for metering the country. What sort of government is this Tinibu led APC?

NEPA will give you meter for free? Na lie. It won't happen. I bought meter last year #89,000 5years after I requested for free meter but never delivered until I pay for it

Why don't they improve the power infrastructures first?

https://tribuneonlineng.com/just-in-senate-approves-500m-loan-for-metering-nigerians/

Mark this message, the meter won't reach anywhere , the money will be siphoned and ' NEPA' will still sell the .meters at exorbitant prices
