I agree with you but those markets and farms that you mentioned are also in other states and the tax revenues from those ventures wont be enough to sustain a city like Abuja. Majority of Abuja's operational revenue comes from oil money and not from businesses or farms.

proeast:
You guys are allowing your emotions to get the better of you. Will Kano survive? The answer is absolute yes! Will Kaduna survive? Yes! This is because these cities/states grew up based on its strength and capacity. They have solid foundations but in the case of Abuja, it was created out of a jungle and over time, nothing much was done to make it self sustaining whether in the area of industry, tourism, small and medium scale enterprises or services. It is just existing based on the earnings of the government offices, ministries, politicians and corruption, and all these people are rent seekers waiting for oil money to be disbursed to them!

Once its artificial and external source of income is cut off, the city will gradually decline and decay.

CodeTemplar:
lol... PDP already displacing this lying thing.

We are playing into the hands of Dangote. The main alternative to PHCN, gen sets are powered by what Dangote is about to have full monopoly of.

Toks2008:
Tinubu gave PDP the chance with that his nonsensical broadcast urging people not to vote for obaseki.

thatigboman:
In the INEC portal, in areas APC won, no alterations, but in areas PDP won, it's alterations upon alterations and no counter signing. And INEC has the audacity to upload such rubbish on their portal

35824L:
He is right and you are wrong. Just admit that you are wrong, apologize and move on. You even started the insult.

osazsky:
akoko Edo is not edo state

Oshlander:
The same portal INEC did not have during 2019 elections right?

Firevinci:

bigt2:

bigt2:
I will come and rub it in your mouth - except you are pregnant

wink2015:
Until Nigeria decentralized the police structure in line with global standard.

Nigeria is just wasting time and delaying the evil day.

Rgade:
Hmm, anyway speaking of cross Rivers; here's a stunning picture of the state governor, Ben Ayade; with an interesting painting on the wall.

Nadaken:
even that 50/50 he said so as an apc man just to massage ego.

There is no lga in Esan where apc would be on same pedestal with pdp as long as it's this Saturday election.



But there would be series of 50/50, 60/40 in Edo South

ogbanekanu:
Edo people go shock that osho and his cronies! its them against the Edo people not obaseki

West2019:
if you are a black man in uniform if an there I Will gun you down immediately no wast time.

heendrix:
watch what you say man....you don't know why he decided to pass that lane and if you don't know how heavy late coming is esp when you've got an harsh superior keep quiet forever

West2019:
o woah I'm.there I would.have gun one of those bloody civilian called taskforce police down

Minjim:
If govt had directed it to those who have the capacity we won't be here. But they gave it to their friends and relations.
There are many foreign energy companies like Siemen that bided during Gej's period but were not given the contract

Zane2point4:
They said its 300kva o,the old one is 200kva and will still had to swap it with the dealers.

maasoap:
For transmitting from the generation point to distribution point, I would say that you are to be paid for the service rendered. It shouldn't be the other way round.

About the tariff not matching the market, people are still buying transformers, electric poles and cables in new and old communities.

Do DISCOS rightly deserve whatever they are charging as tariff right now (around 63 naira per unit)?

solmus:
No wonder Gencos ain't supplying needed Electricity and selling it to other west Africa countries...


They supply you 100% you pay them for 20%

Zane2point4:
Our transformer has bn bad for 3months now.
We contributed 3.5m and bought a new one,it got spoilt in no time ,since then we hvnt had light till now.
In Nigeria,you're on your own,they said privitaization,but we're buying there properties for them,just like buying a full mask for mtn.

I think nigeria doesn't want to employ capable ppl to handle her affairs,we're just going in circles.

Minjim:
Gej and his gangs of thieves got us here. And Buhari is also surrounded by lazy and corrupt people who lacked vision and creativity.

Basic service like electricity, fuel, water and education is the sole biz of a responsible govt.
In most developing economy govt is involved in those services. They can afford to leave such critical aspect of their citizens lives solely in the hands of profit-making shrewd businessmen. Their people will suffer. Especially in a country like our where the masses lacked purchasing power

Minjim:
We have been in darkness for 2vweeks now because of a faulty transformer while streets around us are having power.
All these directives will just make Discos concentrate their resources on highbrow areas and neglect low income areas.


It the fault in our transformer had happened at Magodo, Lekki or V.I I'm sure they'll repair it that same day. But ours is taking weeks and still counting

KayCee92:
You now see why Uncle Otedola divested from Oil (Forte Oil) to power generation. These men have the Ability to see where the next big things are headed...

maasoap:
Distribution was privatised alongside generation because Jonathan and his PDP believed that government didn't have business being business. My question is: why should government still be paying generation companies apart from what it consumes?
