Nigeria a country where it's citizens pay for nothing
These Crazy people (disco and genco etc.) will not plan on how to improve power instead we only hear of constant proposal to increase tariff. That's why I didn't go with privatization. Disco, TCN and others are doing nothing to improve electricity supply. Same as before |

AZeD1: This is a big lie. One of the most effective ways to collect tariff is via prepaid meters. The reason why customers have not been metered is because estimated billings favour the discos as they can charge for power not consumed. I presumed that if customers were billed according to their power consumption, there won't be any ranting as it is. Someone was telling me that they were billed #5,495.65k for last month when they didn't even have light for a day. Cancelling of estimated billing would have been the best then giving out prepaid to customers as substitute. |

Something needs to be done about it as quickly as possible, or else, commensurate salary increase, which at this time is both undo-able and economic suicide on the other hand. Sincerely speaking. Exchange rate is gonna affect so many things if care is not taken. Salary is slashed by 50% while every commodities increases above 50% Its only God that can help us in this country |

Politics › Power Firms Demand 200% Increase In Tariff by abdrazak(op): 12:31pm On Oct 23, 2016 |
There may be a fresh increase of over 200 per
cent in electricity tariff being paid by residential
consumers if a proposal by power distribution
companies to raise the average energy charge to
N105 per kilowatt-hour from the current rate of
22.8KWH is approved.
This is coming less than eight months after about
45 per cent increase in tariff was imposed on
electricity consumers nationwide.
The power firms attributed their latest push for
tariff increase to high inflation rate in the country,
scarcity of foreign exchange, devaluation of the
naira and the huge debts being owed them.
Already, the Discos said they had hinted the
Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission about
the proposal but no action had been taken on it
yet.
The Chief Executive Officer, Association of
Nigerian Electricity Distributors, an umbrella body
for the Discos, Mr. Azu Obiaya, confirmed the
latest agitation for tariff increase, in an interview
with our correspondent, stressing that it was
important to raise the tariff in order to remain in
business and serve the people well.
Azu said, “To review the tariff, we will be looking at
an average rate of N70 per kilowatt-hour for
residential consumers. But some Discos will like
to have the rate as high as N105/kWh.”
Each Disco has a fixed energy charge payable by
its customers. The highest charge, according to
documents obtained by our correspondent from
NERC for the year 2016, is N32.26/KWH and this is
payable by R2 consumers under the Jos Electricity
Distribution Company.
The lowest energy charge of N15.83/KWH is
payable by R2 customers who get power from
Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company.
A further analysis shows that the average energy
charge for all the 11 Discos is N22.8/KWH.
But the Discos were said not to be comfortable
with the current rate, as they argued that it was
not cost reflective and was hampering the
required expansion of infrastructure as well as
the smooth flow of operations.
Azu, who spoke to our correspondent on the
sidelines of a power dialogue in Abuja on
Thursday, said the debts owed power distribution
companies by private homes, businesses and
government ministries, departments and agencies
post-privatisation amounted to N568bn.
He also stated that one reason many Discos had
not metered their customers was due to the huge
debts owed them, as well as the tariff issue.
This, he said, had hampered the operations of the
different Discos, a development that had made it
difficult for the companies to meet the funds
remittances required of them by the Market
Operator.
Obiaya said, “Discos are experiencing revenue
shortfall on a monthly basis of N38bn. As of June
2016, the MDAs owed the Discos N53bn post-
privatisation.
“The books of the Discos are so bad that they have
no chance anymore to access finance. These
books do not reflect the cash flow that is
necessary for them to be taken seriously by any
lender.”
A senior official at NERC told our correspondent
that although the Discos had been calling for an
upward review in tariff, the regulator had not
considered their demand.
“The minor review of tariff is ongoing at present
but NERC has yet to consider their plea for such
increase in tariff, although the economic
fundamentals in Nigeria have seriously changed
and are now so high,” the official said.
When contacted, the National Secretary, National
Electricity Consumers Advocacy Network, Mr.
Obong Eko, stated that NECAN would never
support such move.
He described the move as the peak of insensitivity
to the flight of Nigerian masses.
He said, “They’ve been flying the kite for some
time now because the last time tariff review was
done was when the exchange rate for one United
States dollar was about N190. But now, one dollar
is close to N500; and the price of gas in the
international market has gone up too.
“Despite all these, it will still be so unreasonable
to come out to announce an increase in tariff now
that Nigerians are going through severe suffering.
Are they aware that people are dying of hunger?
We can never support such move and we will
resist it.”

Education › Oyo Assembly Moves To Take Over LAUTECH by abdrazak(op): 7:35pm On Sep 22, 2016 |
The Oyo State House of Assembly has summoned the state Ministry of Justice and its education counterpart to appear on September 27 over ownership status of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso. The summon followed a motion by Mrs Olawunmi Oladeji (Ogbomoso North/LP) and co-sponsored by nine other lawmakers at the plenary session on Thursday. The motion was entitled: “Reviewing the Joint Ownership of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology: A Step toward Sole Ownership by Oyo State Government.” Oladeji said the move would address the critical issues and crisis bedevilling the institution after Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun, co-owner, failed to fulfil his state’s financial responsibility to the institution. She said, “Osun State Government has defaulted, particularly in the payment of salaries of the institution’s members of staff for about 15 months. “This has made it difficult for the smooth-running of LAUTECH.” She said that such action has threatened the joint ownership of the institution. She said, “The Internally Generated Revenue of the institution, which is meant for the payment of gratuity, pension of retirees, as well as other developmental projects within the university, has been depleted. “This is due to the fact that the money is being used for the payment of workers’ salaries. “This calls for the total hand-off of Osun Government from running of the university, and allows the Oyo State Government to take charge of sole and full ownership.” In his contribution, Adesina (Ibadan South-East I/ Accord), said that there was need to resolve the issue of joint ownership of LAUTECH since Osun has established its university and no longer ready to fund LAUTECH. The Chairman, House Committee on Parliamentary Matters, Mr Olusegun Ajanaku (Ibadan South-West II/APC), said that the issue of LAUTECH was a national matter. He said it was an issue that requires more work between the two parties involved. The lawmaker urged people of Ogbomoso to be patient and allow amicable resolution of the issue between the two parties. The cosponsors include, the Deputy Speaker, Mr Musah Abdulwasi (Saki West/APC); the majority leader, Mr Kehinde Subair (Ibadan South-West I/ APC); Mr Peter Oyetunji (Surulere/Ogo-Oluwa/LP); Mr Akeem Oladipo (Ibadan North West/APC) and Mr Jimoh Akintunde (Ibarapa North & Central/ APC). Other are, Mr Afeez Adeleke (Iseyin/Itesiwaju/ APC), Mr Fatai Adesina, Ibadan South East I/ Accord) and Mr Lukman Balogun (Oorelope/LP). (NAN) Source: punchng.com/oyo-assembly-moves-take-lautech/

sidnazious: My brother, which money do you want GMB to use in creating employment, improve infrastructure and security? Nigeria is dead broke.... No foreign reserves, crude sales have plummeted, even the price is nothing to write home about.
In light of this there are three ways to go about this..... Either they borrow more money and mortgage our ailing future more, increase taxes astronomically thereby suffering the citizens or they recover stolen funds which are lying fallow somewhere and meant for the country initially.
Calling in investors to develop our other resources is not an immediate solution as it will take some years to develop, build plants and so on. This action has been delayed for too long by a powerful few. Do you know that some of our resources are been mined illegally?
If you were in charge what will you do? Think critically about it before you judge.

pinardave: So because shell BP is shutting down their production due to unfavorable economic condition and the present administration`s lack of direction, and you are here spewing up blackmail. Guess, Buhari should realize that any case against shell will not be decided by his pocketed Nigerian judiciary. You guys should tell this govt to be focus oooo By now every sensible Nigerian has come to the realization that there is something more dangerous than "corruption", "incompetence"is more dangerous than corruption...... A Man can be corrupt and still be profitable but an Incompetent man makes you lose all you are worth and jeopardize your future.....
Buhari has shown himself incompetent in all ramifications ....... The money we have lost by the crash of the Naira alone in the eight month administration of Buhari should equal and exceed all the monies that can ever be stolen by the Jonathan administration ..... Our economy has slowed down and its growth rate is now less than the 10th in Africa. The contracting nature of our economy means we have lost all the economic gains by Jonathan to such a docile government what are the economic gain that you benefited from the last regime? You are talking about naira losing its value. Did you know what past regime did? Sharing worth of dollars to traditional rulers to entice them. Where are those dollars? Naira is losing its value is what everyone is talking about. When the present government is doing her best to re-structure the economy and way of living, you are spewing trash here. Lets support this administration and rehabilitate Nigeria from its dieing stage. Here I rest. |

This is how it goes:
1. There are 9 triangles encircled into a larger triangle. i.e. 9 + 1 = 10
2. Half of the triangle + the diagonals when view from left and right. i.e. 1 + 2 = 3
3. Entire triangles = 10 + 3 = 13 |
