Who is Haller bro? U claim to know d record well, yet u dont know the name of the player that holds the record

Most of you don't watch football actually

You expect a company that only has 67 percent of its customers paying plus charging for power at a loss to give you 24 hours of ppwer a day

If you were my worker and I paid you 60 percent of your salary one month and 40% of your salary the next and so on, you go gree work at 100%? No, you will work at 30 percent or not at all.

Go and look for your free power.

You are saying nonsense Mr man

backbencher:
You want power for free without paying for it

Good. I understand you.

Just know that you can also.offer your services for free without payment since most people are poor now.

Good morning. I have tried for the day.

Just stfu

Nonsense

Good morning. I have tried for the day.

Come back here,

Most people pay for what they don't consume yet you want us to pay more?

You call 3hrs a say electricity?

emorse:
This is obviously not correct. I referenced the PWC report even though I have reservations.


This actually hurt cos I presently overpay for power that I don't consume to avoid accumulation. Many people do the same and I'm quite sure you do too (except if you have been metered). I just wonder why it's so easy for you to overlook the corruption, and ineptitude that these guys don't even try to hide. I can assure you that even if tariffs are increased to N300/kwh (many of us are already paying this much) without metering, they'll still post these same figures and claim that they're running at a loss.

Good morning to you too.

I really don't get his point,we have people paying over 300k for electricity monthly,so how many people can afford that,

And he would say he's not in support of the government

backbencher:
Okay, how many people can afford to pay for anything?

Since you think we are all poor, and cannot pay for any service, then that means that we should pay nothing for the food we eat, and the services we consume

Meaning that in the end you would get no service at all. Because no one can do anything for free, or for a price that is too cheap , because at the end of the day, we would all earn a low income., or no income. And you won't like it.

THINGS COST MONEY...and that includes power. Power costs money...money needed for expansion, money needed for staff welfare, and even more and more jobs. Money, my good man, MONEY!.

If you don't get that, sorry. That's effing life. You don't have to love it.

Before you quote me to abuse or whatever...ask yourself...would you do the work you do now for free, so that poor people can get your service offered for free? Because that's what you really want.

Lol

We ve been paying to be in darkness for ages and we complain about the amount we pay everyday

You talk about food,go to the streets and see how people are feeding,I wonder if you would tell someone earning below 50k to pay for electricity of 20k

I really don't understand how your theory would work,I'm sure Ghanaians aren't paying a fortune for electricity

backbencher:
Very true, and here is the tarrif schedule as at 2020 September below (SAUCE; BBC PIDGIN)

How many people can afford to pay heavily for electricity?

ayindejimmy:
The lifestyle of politicians obviously is not encouraging.
Most people see paying tax as robbing to poor to feed the rich.
Inflated budget
Fictional projects
Unnecessary appointments
Duplicate appointments
Luxurious official cars

These are ways they spend the little taxes we pay.

And they want Nigerians to pay willingly when we are not blind

That's why I find it funny when some people think people paying tax would solve our problems

backbencher:
They are private owned businesses, 60% private owned. GENCOS are even 100% owned by private companies. Government only runs transmission now.



OKay, the government is useless...and yes, I agree with that sentiment. (I'm someone who thiks all NIgerian governments have failed since independence, so you won't get much argument from me)

And a big sign of government uselessness is price controls on the power sector. Tried many times in many countries, and failed every time.(The communist countries that used to do it all now run private power companies...with no government price controls!).



Defending the right of business to make a profit so that they can improve things, and even pay taxes (power companies are so broke that they need government subsides to stay afloat, and also cannot pay taxes)...is now defending thieves? Your thought process is weird.

So in summary what's your solution?

ayindejimmy:
I get your point but that enough people aren't paying is largely due to the lack of creativity and sincerity of people in Govt.
Many big and powerful men evade tax. Just look at the ostensive and wasteful display of taxable wealth by celebrities.
If those ppl are taxed effectively it'll go a longer way than the little people like me pay as tax.
The govt just lacked the political will to increase tax revenue. Rather, their inventive way is asking the poor to pay more.

Why don't the government start with reducing the cost of governing,

It's funny how this government churn out trillions of naira and borrow millions of dollars with nothing to show for it for almost 8yrs now,

It's true we have wealthy people evading taxes,but who would want to pay tax to a government that you know would embezzle the money.

And how many people can actually afford tax in this country?

backbencher:
If you were in business selling provisions, would you sell all your provisions at N5 for a year, so that you can help the poor?

Things cost money, even power. ANd things don't care if you ar e earning less than N20000 a month...because things are made by people and people also have to be paid for making things for you, and the companies that make things also have to make enough of a profit to among other things raise salaries for the people who make things...people like you and me.

This is no private business,so you're saying Nigerians have to pay the money they don't have to have stable electricity?

Just say Nigerian government are useless, they've been borrowing for electricity projects for decades and it doesn't get any better but worse.

Stop defending these thieves

Naira land and cleavage be like rice and stew

DubaiLandLord:
Thanks for this information.

I agree with you about light been good in some locations while Is terrible in some locations.

Can solar power Air Conditioning? If yes, nah how much person go need?

I won't say what he said is true,cause I have someone who has two flats and powered them with solar of 150k for each flat,so I don't think that's too much

[quote author=backbencher post=108740682]Ghanaians pay twice as much as we do for power and don't have as much as 40% of the consumers defaulting either.

They pay in full, they get in full[/quote

They should create more megawatts then and put a reasonable price on it.

I wonder how much they'll want us to pay actually,when people are still earning below 20k per month

backbencher:
The reason why Nigeria does not have 24 hours power supply is simple

We aren't paying for 24 hour supply, we are.paying for less than that.

The reason is in the article. The goverment is paying a subsidy.

The reason why the goverment is paying a subsidy is because the discos ad gencos would collapse financially without it.

Especially since the law establishing them made them charge less than the production cost of power.

In 2019,discos were selling power at N20 to 30 naira per kWh. Meanwhile it cost 53 naira to make that one kwh of power.

Now it costs over N73 to make one kwh of power. Discos now charge between 49 to 71 naira per kWh. Most areas pay less than N60 .

You see?

Discos aren't allowed to charge the kind of tarrifs that would enable them make enough cash to pay for much needed improvements. Then there are the nearly 40% of customers, rich poor and even goverment agencies who use power for free.No paying. Nothing.


The law allowing for the privatisation of power did not allow the power companies the right to make a profit . Thus as a result, there isn't enough money to fix things

That is why we are.in.darkness.

Nigerians have to be ready to pay for 24 hour power. You cannot pay N3000 for a car costing 4 million naira. That is what we have been doing for the power sector

For more.on the situation, read the PWC paper "solving the liquidity crunch in the Nigerian power sector"

A page from the report is below. Worth reading.

Then it should get disconnected and know we don't have electricity in Nigeria,

You are making sound like we are suppose to pay more than a hundred thousand per month for steady electricity.

Ghanaians isn't paying a fortune for electricity and they are enjoying 24/7 power

Is this really normal, i will be 26years soon and i dnt have a beard atall, i am even less concern about it becoz na money dey my mind, but shey this thing normal like this, even small boys go dey call me name sometimes self nawa oo

Wizkid would be 31 next year

I thought it's in abuja?

DoggoneDogg:
They are laughing? Okay.

I give them 15 years, their eye go clear.

Why do you people take things too serious,

I did this while I was young and I've seen many kids do it too

aribisala0:
I agree
No harm in attending 1 or 2 IN HOPE but there must be stock taking

I guess some Northerner might be eyeing 12 year old brides as dividends

They just keep putting us below standard

aribisala0:
It is not so much a summons because the summits alternate between Africa and Turkey

but the fact that Turkey believe they are too big to relate to individual African countries 1on 1 .
The US have done it , China have done it as have Russia so Erdogan's ego tells him why not Turkey
As this is an economic summit we should look at facts/figures
Turkey is a $700 billion GDP economy compared to Nigeria a $500 billion economy so there is nothing to gain from Turkey

I cannot think of any significant Turkish company that we are seeking to attract to Nigeria

Even the ones we've been doing with USA and co can be called useless cause,we cant point to a thing or two they have archived with it

justtoodark:
do you people know that syria is draggin land with turkey....??
and syria has the backin of russia,china and others....??

How e take relate to the topic

The people claiming to be literates are the ones that can't actually comprehend what the ops point is,

All he's trying to say is,why would a nation summon the whole of Africa for a summit,just look at how Buhari has been flying around all in the name of summits,and Nigeria is on hell of fire

Now the question is, can a African country summon the whole of Europe for a summit?

Even if they do, I'm sure they'll just send delegates to represent them, that's why every country has an ambassador in every country

It can't be called an invite to me cause,why do they all have to go like Thier lifes depends on it

I ported from RN7 to RN9 Pro.

Okay

CODM tasking games is not because it is more graphically intensive. You have been throwing the term around now.

CODM has optimization issues and bugs. Last year CODM was causing phones to shut down and even bricked some phones. That was why I quickly uninstalled it.

PUBG on the other hand is very optimized to run on many phones despite it's graphical load. Attached is the size of PUBG on my device.

CODM needs serious fixing.

Is this rn8?

Prechy2836:
I no dey ever engage in these CODM Vs PUBGM, Android Vs iOS, PS Vs Xbox, PES Vs FIFA cos all na the same wey e go end the other no go gree you so I pick what I prefer and go with it but it's a known fact PUBGM is more graphically intensive on devices than CODM.. but hey everyone with he's or her own opinion.

Bro I use rn8 and I can tell you cod is more graphically intensive than ping,even while playing on the lowest level,the game would frustrate you

Pussyassniggar:

Even the volume and power button is cost

Pussyassniggar:
How much

About 3500#

Prechy2836:
Been playing PUBG Mobile for long periods and I don't experience over heating ever since. When I mean long periods 2-3hours almost everyday I'm free.. that was before the update sha after the update I've not played too much but when I did it was still the same thing.

I haven't updated and the phones temperature whenever I'm gaming is just too much to handle,it forces me to quit the game most times

genius43:
In my location it is easy.

I would try tomorrow

Prechy2836:
RN8

Same here,I hope it does same to mine too,I uninstalled cod cause of too much temperature

genius43:
Eyah. I ran away from Airtel night plan since 2019.

And to get sim now be like war
