Discos have no choice.

All the discos have been running at a loss because they aren't allowed to charge cost reflective tariffs.

We may all complain, but the truth is if we want power 24 seven we have to pay the market price for power.

Lol, I'm not going to label as you as DISCO staff but I will tell you to stop deceiving yourself.
One, FG is still subsidising the energy that DISCOs are buying from the GENCOs. I'm not saying subsidising for the customers but subsidising for the DISCOs.
Two, have you ever been given estimated bill? I was given monthly estimated bill of 20k for 7 months before prepaid was given to me. Now, the total amount of debt on our prepaid meter is 200k out of which we have paid 50k within 3 months apart from the cost of energy we're buying. But I'm happy to tell you that we didn't consume that 20k energy per month. That's exactly what over 80% of their customers are facing today.
Thirdly, do we even have a stable power supply? No. But customers on estimated billing which are the majority are being billed for 24/7 power supply! Is that fair?
Fourthly, are these DISCOs even investing according to their agreement with FG? No! People are still buying transformers, main poles and cables in new communities. DISCOs staff just come to collect tariffs once such communities are connected to the power grid. Is that fair?
Fifthly, are DISCOs even paying the GENCOs appropriately and as when due? Go and read up how much they're owing GENCOs. On top the fact that these DISCOs owners are smiling to the banks everyday.

Or we could prevail on Buhari to reverse the privatisation of power in return for paying the discos and GENCOS billions in compensation for in essence breaking their contract

Not possible because the billions you're talking about is in dollars, not naira. And it is not a few billions of dollars. You need to read the ridiculous clauses put in place in case FG wants to get it back.

oluseyiforjesus:
Shut up, u talk like someone who wants to sell it, it about d honor not d value

Common sense is not common after all

SimplyFacts:
Protesters are always prepared for the worst. This is one of the worst events. Let's be hopeful he would get justice

Hahahaha! E don do for that guy! Him don lose his freedom forever

MyVILLAGEpeople:

The world has moved on from this Covid scam already.

Your dream world I guess

Wahala for scamdemic crew

Exkandayee:
Then why are you telling us he's dead, you wished death on your baby daddy, that means you a witch,commot here joor

He's dead to her because he played dead. Let dead daddies be dead daddies in peace.

ValCon888:
A typical Nigerian girl has this entitlement mentality.
They believe you must do everything for them.
You must give them money, take them out, buy gifts, make their hair, recharge their phones (and still do the calling) etc.

You must give them money before they buy you gift. And they will only use 10% of that money for your usual boxers, singlet or roll-on birthday present.

She is never altruistic or selfless. If she does something for you, she expects you to do something even greater for her in return. It is until you date a foreign chick you realize a vast majority of Nigerian girls have nothing to offer.

[s] A selfless, generous Nigerian girl is like a Taliban Christian. They don't exist.

A bigot will always be a bigot no matter what! Spits

zlantanfan:
I don't know why Muslims feel insecured

Muslims are bold and courageous, they would never feel insecure. May be you are not close to Muslims at all. Lol
The guy claimed to be a Christian, why are you having headache about that? Must his opinions align with your bigotry way of reasoning if he's indeed a Christian? Some people are raised better than others

AnanseK:
I agree with you about the need to modernize animal rearing away from open grazing for many reasons including the ones you listed.
But people are creating the impression that Fulani herders are there to confiscate and own land perhaps as certified owners, which is not true.
In the past the nomads had country owned land mapped out for them to graze their cattle. Government owned land, not farms or individual privately own lands. This was interpreted as common good , the same as the government build roads for people move with their goods and to travel in conducting their businesses. In those days , cattle tax was paid to the Government per head of cattle.

The impasse about rearing of cattle can be unraveled and dealt with sensibly for the benefit of all, if the goodwill was there. Threatening fire and brimstone by politicians just to impress the masses cannot be the way for progress.

The outright ban on open grazing in specific sections of the country, and without any national plans for herding animals will, rightly or wrongly attract economic retaliations. There is wisdom in discussions and building a consensus.

And you expected educated illiterates from the south on nairaland to understand that?
I'm even interested in knowing what they will be doing to Fulani herders and their cattle who are going to be caught or arrested when such law is eventually passed. Season film

ntyce:
Very funny that Anambra and Imo state governors are not interested in passing such laws.

Because it is a senseless law.

HellAnus:
Islam is evil. A big cancer to humanity

Lol. You have forgotten that those that took war to Afghanistan are Christians, they started this. You can blame Islam as much as you want, it doesn't change the fact Christian nations disturbed their peace.

And don't forget, those Christians equally took that same war to Iraq under the pretence of stopping the use of WMD. Then, took that war to Libya, Syria. Killing millions of Muslims, leaving those countries in ruins and then giving rise to different militias with weapons flowing freely in.

Grucho1:
so decency matters now ehhh?with all the open intimidation, flagrant disregard of due process,bias and apparent enslavement of Nigerians in their own country, sectionalism and others too numerous to mention,we now need to talk of decency?

It is not my job to attack or defend Saudi Arabia, so I don't why venting your anger on my mention. All what you highlighted above are what Nigeria as a country is known for. Lol

My best friend was struggling with no employment even after master degree in medical science. Today, he's in Saudi Arabia's University hospital as specialist with his family doing fine.

And many Nigerian health professionals (Muslims and Christians) are ready to leave as soon as their visa and work permit is ready.

Grucho1:
what is indecent about recruiting unemployed/underemployed med doctors .....a govt shouldn't be scared of publicity when it's doing the right thing

The recruiters have learnt their lessons and they will correct their mistakes and address their lapses. That, I'm sure of.

explosiveskull:
How will they provide the security? [s] Is it not same fulani terrorists that are the security and are the ones killing them. [/s] Sometimes I marvel and surprised in what is going on in your brains.

Trash as usual.
If the governor with the members of the HOA couldn't come up with how to secure their own people, they have no business being in charge of the security of the state.
Residents should arm themselves with sticks and brooms I guess. Lol

Anaerobi:
While mosque are built with public money

Rebuke:
Hehe. But some people don dey use public money to build mosques under this government

omowolewa:
Maybe you think Government money doesn't belong to Christians because Government monies are spent on building Mosques o

You bigots are going to be responsible for the destruction of this country!

Fahdiga:
Exactly the reason why they are the world worst Army

And if PDP come to power tomorrow, they will automatically become the world best Army. Lol. Politics of bitterness kills you there

Fahdiga:
Didn't know that there are Fulanis in Liberia

Fahdiga:
Yorubas and Fulanis are one

Bigot, tribalist, what do you have to say about Yorubas and Fulanis here

ifyken:
If they take up arms so that police will have excuse to shoot them, after all buhari said anyone seen with AK-47 should be shot

Was that not when you guys were crying day and night that he gave Fulani herdsmen authority to carry weapons? Were you guys not happy when he made the statement? You can't turn around now and start accusing him again!

Safyqueen:
Are you sure? This plateau issue is no more Fulani issue, it has metamorphosed to religious one. The HOA has made a serious mistake, a grave one for that matter. You are worried by the number of deaths and you now asked people to carry arms, is it to treat the wounded or to resurrect the deads or to kill more?

Most of them just wanted the public money, that's why they found themselves in the corridor of power, not that they know what they are there for.

Na so arms are easy to get in Nigeria? Instead of them to provide security and secure their people, they're leaving them to their own fate!

SKhanmi:
I laughed looking at the mockup. That thing is probably something else but because it doesn't fit into their paradigm, they changed it. Archeology is another strictly controlled scam. 43 mirrion years?

If you think scientists will discover something that invalidates the paradigm they have been following all these years and tell you the truth, You're on a long thing. Ask the Smithsonian institute about the thousands of discovered giant human skeletons they vanished.

[/s]

Garbage as usual

adebwalex:
Absolutely madness. If everyone abandon you at least he must have a girlfriend in school been so brilliant which I believe most girls in campus would love to be associate with. He can start to Focus On his future and raise a family in the future with his wife.. So why why why why do you have to take your own life Just because you don't have a family member.
Say no to Depression.... If I tell you my story, your own even small pass my own. I live like I don't have a family but with the help of my wife I am were I am due to the help I received from her Sister who is out of the country. I am greatful to her because my Visa out of the country was done by my wife sister....

It is not madness o. It is called DEPRESSION. And with no suitable help to deal with it.

Bukasint:
I have not heard in my life that a University student in the Northern part of Nigeria committed suicide as an option despite them graduating without speaking English/ or even to understand English language, yet they graduate. Yet we the Southerns keep making things difficult for our own people.
North hiding under federal character and educationally less developed states to move ahead while we keep making life miserable for our people.

Educationally Less Developed in the north has nothing to do with your wicked southern lecturers who would be demanding for either sex or money for marks

Gays in Afghanistan! That's some serious shiit. Even Nigerians don't like gays.

FamTomx2:


I invites you to Markudi with this sentiment of yours..

What is in Makurdi? Mostly primitive people.

Then repeat what u felt is wrong about him..

Mind reminding me what I said about him again?

after all there is freedom of speech.

There is freedom of speech of course. Is that not why Ortom is running mouth diarrhoea against Buhari?

Then Good luck in your voyage.

Like we don't know type before? Serving what they can't accept. Hypocrites

Grucho1:
so what are you saying

What I said was clear enough but I guess you wanted to know my opinion whether the government's action was good or bad so that you could know whether to praise or attack me.
The government action was necessary because the report was embarrassing. The recruiters should find a decent and private way to recruit.

Juliusmomoh:



This is how the cow we have in aso-rock will die because of greedness

[/s]
Rubbish as usual

FamTomx2:


Ortom is a very bold man, have worked with them, very simple but then can enraged when being provoked.


Tiv man with an strong attitude.

Lol. Being provoked by Buhari who will never respond to or mention his name, ever? Jokers

Ortom is nothing but a failure and attention seeking mofos. Fayose did more than that.

Ebije1:
Just imagine how a former aide to an executive governor ended up. Instead of preparing a better future for himself and his family, he was busy chasing shadows in the name of hunting witches. As for me this is good riddance to bad rubbish.

That's to show the level to which our society believe in all these superstitious activities including the so called educated ones who refused to know better.

BTW: the arrest of this man was supposed to be the job of the police now. Still a jungle justice no matter what.

hybrid11:
If only he can start from the northern nigeria

And he has to go there in broad daylight, not in the dead of the night. Lol

able20:
Them be Saudis not Europeans what you expect

You actually think or believe that the recruiters are indeed Saudis? Lol. Well, you're a Nigerian anyway, what do I expect?
