Amotolongbo: Congrats to the them o
I remember a day when I was in an Orthodox church, Baptist, in Oyo town. The pastor was preaching, lambasting Rev Chris Oyakhilome and his congregation. The pastor said he wonders how a pastor with a divorce wife can still claim to be carrying God’s anointing. That people falling under his anointing are stupid.
Then I sat down to analyze the situation and conditions surrounding the issue critically.
Many of these ministers of God’s homes are intact, not because they are good, love or respect their wives. The women have been the ones holding and keeping the home which is based more on African culture of perseverance even when persecuted in the home by the husband than the scripture.
Many of these women aren’t comfortable and enjoying the homes, they are just enduring, struggling and pretending to the public that all is well. If all of these our Ministers’ wives are white or have the white mentality, many of them might have left the homes like Anita Oyakhilome. Including the Oyo Pastor lambasting Oyakhilome Look up na, lets see your face  |

Noregretz07: I love Anthony Joshua tho but he needs to stfu Fury is on another level who has proven himself. Wilder was a no no for Aj till fury knocked him out. This was at a time he came out of depression. The only thing Joshua is bringing to the table is techniques even at that fury is more technical, he has power, excellent foot work, defenses and head movement. Aj had better get to work. The money is the motive Laslas all the talk is to build up the fight. They would both cash out heavily[center][/center] Fury has not proven himself till he defeats AJ. Wilder was the one ducking AJ. Fury also ducked Klitschko for a rematch, cowardly claiming he went into depression.  . He only came out and started making noise after AJ has done the needful. When AJ defeated Klitschko, Wilder was on the ringside. Why didnt he go to challenge AJ immediately in the ring?? He was even asked the question by the commentators and just gave a not so enthusiastic answer. Wilder was not even in reckoning then, it was only Fury Aj called out after defeating Klitschko. Wilder rode on AJ's popularity with the non-radical heavyweight boxing fans, as AJ fans wanted him to snatch up the only remaining belt. It was only then Wilder's name started popping up. There is no big deal with Wilder. AJ would have dropped him in a more fascinating way than what Fury did. Anthony Joshua is the only true test for Fury. |

cooljoe: AJ has Nigerian heritage, so one is almost obliged to support him. But men I don't seem him beating Fury. Fury is more skillful, is bigger, just all round better. AJ has the more powerful punch, but if Fury could come up with a game plan to neutrailze Wilder's right hand, doing so for AJ will even be easier. AJ will have to be on his very best game, and Fury having an off day. AJ has superior skills to Wilder. Aj is an all rounder and can be very fast too. |

kikero: Because we sell power at a cost less than what we produce it, complicated by the fact that as much as 40-50% of people don't pay their bills, and even when there is meter, some bypass the meter....that means that the power sector does not have enough money to make the needed improvements
In fact the power sector is in a one trillion naira hole financially . All the discos and gencos are running at a loss.
Modified
Going through the thread I see that people are ready to blame everyone, Buhari and GEJ inclusive for the power problem.
The reason why we don't have light is because in Nigeria we think we can get a Ferrari for the price of a bicycle.
Yesterday I told someone the actual cost of power in this country as related by ex CBN bigwig Moghalu, and he accused me of lying.
We know power costs a lot of money, but accepting that truth, that in order to have stable power we need to pay as much as 60 naira per kWh is too painful
So we blame the Hausas, Buhari, the IMF, GEJ, the discos, the gencos, the executive list , etc etc.
Meanwhile most of us refuse to pay our bills, chase electricity workers with cutlasses , bypass meters, and cheat on our bills and we expect light 24/7
I think Nigerians tend to live in sugar candy land too much This is the plain truth! |

lexander: do you research properly you can survive on a basic salary in advanced countries but can the same be said about Nigeria. If I was to pay you 30 thousand naira a month which majority of employers even state governments refused to pay can you pay your rent if it's monthly pay your bills and take care of yourself ? But that's how it works in other countries . Mind you a Nigerian senator earns almost 4 times what the president of the US is earnings so why can't the minimum wage in Nigeria be 4 times that of the US That was what I was saying here, before people started coming for me. agabusta: Sincerely, I doubt if Nigerians can pay.
A market breakthrough price will be.like 60/70naira per kw unit.
Nigerians were formerly paying between 21 and 30 naira before the recent increase. And even as at then, if they supply consistent 15hrs in a month, an average 3 bedroom family house will be paying like 30k at the end of the month.
If a true price is charged and there is 20hrs of power, an average 3-bedroom family house eill be paying 50/60k per month. |

Mistakemaker: They don't have the resources really? But how come canan land is able to generate their own light? Are they now richer than states? Tell me something What's the population of Canann land. Do you have an idea of their power load? We can break it down, get the cost of power, then look at population of a town and the power load requirement and also at the revenue of states vis a vis other areas of the state that needs funding. I dont know about Cannanland but I heard that RCCG is charging like 70naira plus for power. Are the masses ready to pay that amount? Any state that invest in power and not able to charge such an amount will be doing that at a great loss! Almost all states in Naija do not have such financial resources. Lagos state is generating power to only supply some of its personal assets like these religious bodies. To extend it to the general populace for now is practically very difficult. |

Mistakemaker: There is nothing like you doubt if Nigerians can pay.. Electricity should be pay as you go using metres and if your recharge finishes then you won't have light.. Are you saying poor people in overseas also can't pay for their light? U sef reason am naw  Majority of Nigerians want cheap stuff but readily available. Cheap fuel, but always available. Cheap power but available 24/7. Power and fuel are not cheap in standardized markets. Obtain the cost of power in the UK and US and convert it to naira. Calculate it over an average load for a month and you'll be shocked at the cost. Elecrticity does not compulsory have to be pay as you go. It's just more applicable to our environment, where both the biller and the billed are fraudulent. It's still same thing either prepaid or postpaid. Currently, its only Enugu disco that gives MD customers prepaid. All the others still use postpaid metres. This recent increase has still not matched up as a cost reflective price. But just hold on for some weeks when people start recharging/get their bills, you will hear the noise and groaning. |

irepnaija4eva: Gbam.. This what I have been hammering for a long time.. The states should handle power generation within there jurisdiction.
Such condition will bring about a substantial level of employment, and a huge internal revenue generation for the state, then maybe 10% of the profit should be attributed to the federal government....
Life Ana agaga.. They dont have the resources. What is bedeviling the power industry is similar to the downstream petroleum industry. The govt is pampering the masses and subsidising the sectors. Therefore investments there is not making sense for now. The state govts do not have the financial resources for such investments that may not yield profit on the short term. |

wirinet: You are an economist but poor at English comprehension. If you read the report and comprehend, you will realise that there is no correlation between the free fall of the naira and freezing of Baba Ijebu and other's accounts. The accounts were frozen over " alleged tax fraud and economic sabotage "
The report then continued with;
I don't see how you guys could link the scarcity of dollars at the parallel market to the freezing of 38 accounts. Except you are telling us that they were Dollar accounts with millions of dollars. Thank you Sir! I thought I was the only that noticed the nonsense Premium Times did with the report. Out of the blues, they introduced forex into a matter of tax evasion. I find it confusing that people read without digesting the content properly and making informed opinion. |

Nicklaus619: I read it bro, talking about tax evasion, believe me that most companies and industries own by some of our politicians don't pay tax, and most of these companies are multi-million companies, if making every companies and industries pays tax is what will stabilize the scarcity of dollars then they have to do the right thing and make sure everyone of those greedy politicians that have confiscated companies and industries own by state to their own personal companies should be checkmated and made to pay tax too. For instant rochas okorocha's company even after leaving the office had made all his staff working on his personal company to be payrolled in the state nominal role while be could not pay pensioners and owing civil servants salaries and arrears.
Those that make sense to you, especially the clueless government masturbation on irrelevant issues where the problems lays way beyond all of that agabusta: It is Premium Times that is confusing its readers.
The report says Accounts frozen for Tax fraud, Premium Times on it's own introduced forex into the matter. |
