Generally, DISCOS make enough to pay staff salaries...it is when it is time to pay for things like gas, repairs, upgrades, etc...that they don't have enough money.

Government also pays them a subsidy, which even then is not enough.

At the end of the day, power needs a lot of money.

They cant pay salaries if they were really running at a loss ogar.

Modrov:
And now we are in the realm of 'proven facts don't matter'

Good morning. The fact is, I agree, in my heart, that power should be free for all Nigerians. But that's against all sensible reasoning.

I don try.

What fact have you proven? #73 naira to produce electricity in Nigeria while in other gas producing nations it costs less than #20 equivalent? I dont think anybody have suggested electricity should be free ,what we are against is the lies and day light robbery going on in the power sector. If I was benefiting from the fraud, I would be on the other side defending with ground breaking facts and figures. Thats how Nigeria works, have a nice day.

Modrov:
Well, it isn't just the DISCOS saying that...it is also independent audit companies like PWC saying that.

The below is a page from their report on the matter. Solving the liquidity crunch in the Nigerian power sector.

You want me to believe a bent report which claimed the discos have been running at a loss for almost a decade? How can you even make sense of that? Is this not the same kind of report that claimed NNPC was running at a loss for 30 years but suddenly declared 287B AFTER TAX this month. Lets stop all these lies.

Modrov:
India is not Nigeria...plus India generates from a wider vairety, including nuclear.

Of course India cannot match Nigerias corruption, so India is not Nigeria. I have the data from fellow oil producing countries like Oman and Qatar reflecting even lower cost of energy production to nuclear powered India.
This lies and conspiracy theories about discos running at a loss MUST STOP. What kind of concobility is this!?

Modrov:
It costs 73 naira to make one kwh of power.

We pay between N53 to 71 per unit.

30 to 40% of customers don't pay a dime

Discos are running losses in the trillions as a result.

See the problem.?

A simple google search just showed that it costs 5.43 Rupees to produce a Kwh in India, the equivalence of #30 naira. Are the Indians runninig at a loss too? I ask again, how did you guys arrive at #73 to produce a kwh of power in Nigeria, a gas producing country?

Modrov:
Reading online. Plus, about two years ago, according to Moghalu, the former CBN deputy governor, it was N53 per kwh.

Also keep in mind that costs may be higher due to the fact that

1,Gencos pay for gas in dollars, not naira

2.Losses on the grid....transmission losses.

We like being vague in this country. Moghalu is not a power engineer. I will prefer to hear from experts like Prof Bath Naji. Would like to see the cost breakdown of how 73 naira per Kwh was arrived at by the Gencos. Its to convenient to quote figures to suit a narrative and sell to gullible Nigerians who just cant interrogate those figures.

How did you arrive at the figure 73 naira? A few years ago we paid less than 15 naira per kwh. What percentage of customers pay over the odds in the name of estimated billing?

Who send Thomas partey message ?

He will easily be earning 150k weekly at ATM even if it’s not up to his arsenal salary

Too bad this guy missed out on winning the Laliga ,person nobody go bench for atm

Na wa sha

He was the least paid player at Athletico earning about 40k a week. Currently, he is on 200k a week at Arsenal and you ask him not to move? Winning La liga will guarantee him eternal life? Many people who won the world cup have been forgotten and rendered irrelevant let alone La liga. How many La ligas did athletico win before he joined them in 2012?

rumour has it that fc porto is on the verge of offloading zaidu sanusi

He was shockingly bad against Chelsea last season. I hoped it was a one off but it seems Porto arent convinced. It is reported he is considered 3rd choice now.

Some of our players are beginning to come into their own too. Last season Ndidi and Iheanacho's contributions helped Leicester win the English FA Cup, Chukwueze contributed to Villarreal winning the Europa league, Onuachu helped his club win the Belgium cup, Aribo and Balogun helped Rangers win the Scottish premier league so it's not as if our players are complete bums. They know what it is to win a trophy too.

Agreed reputations do not play on the field but when you have better talent more often than not you will prevail. Respect to the Egyptians but they are not the team that dominated Africa in the mid to late 2000s. They will give us a game no doubt but I'm optimistic we can handle them. If they do defeat us when we meet which is a possibility it won't be because they have superior talent to us now speaking generally.

I dont think they went into any of those Afcon championships they dominated as clear favourites because they mostly came to town with unsexy Zamalek and AHly players. The last time they got to the finals of the competition, nobody gave them a chance. They probably could have won if they had another coach apart from the cursed Hector Cuper.
Algeria went into the last afcon as the underdogs. Senegal were the favourites but atlast what happened? Afcon is strange tournament. Even when Keshi won, his team was not the most talented. Zambia before that weren't the favorites, same can be said of Cameroon. Only Ivory coast have gone in as favourites and this was after several heartbreaks an the retirement of their biggest player.
Teams like Egypt will be dangerous next year. They have a local coach, their local coaches know how to maneuver the competition. Remember this monicker next year when the competition starts.

To be fair both teams have come a fair way since then.

The SE were relatively not as stacked as we are now even at that we almost beat them that day if not for poor finishing and loss on concentration when it mattered most. Nowadays we have a better strength in depth in our attack, midfield not perfect but ok, defense decent and more experienced, goalkeeper relatively stable.

Egypt is still rebuilding to the strength of their 2010s squad and they are quite heavily reliant on Salah. The advantage they will have is that most of them play domestically in their league so they should be able to blend better.

Don't get me wrong I'm not implying that facing them will be easy but I'm reasonably confident that based on the current quality of players in the SE we should be able to defeat the Egyptians if we play to our full potential.

So Afcon have not thought you not to rate a teams chance based on the strength of their European contingent? Its not even like our European players are playing for champions league clubs, mostly mid table clubs an in most cases not the overall best players in said teams.

If it was all about European base players, Nigeria would have 7 Afons while Egypt 3, but its the other way round. Respect those Ahly boys, a team that can beat an opponent 3-0 in the finals in addition to Salah, Al Mohamedi will be a 50-50 match, not sure 3 points like you put it.

Truidstar:
confiirmed 3 points. Deploy Frank Onyeka as Salah's temporary girlfriend in that match..e no go see ball play. 3 points.

Last time we played them, Salah did us strong thing in Kaduna. Generally speaking we have never had an upper hand against Egypt , except maybe the Super Falcons, so what's feeding your confidence?

He lied about his age. This man should be in his 40s...

kodded:
someone that chooses ben white over maddison when you have saliba coming through. The best thing this club can do right now is to sack arteta now before he does any other damage and bring in a more competent manager like zidane or conte with a promise of signing martinez, maddison, new CM, RB and LW. The transfer window ends in 2 weeks, the board can still save the season if they make the right decisions right now.

Expect to see Aaron Ramsdale in the last week of the transfer window. The incompetence is outstanding

Most of the BBN participants are actually educated .

You give this away for Mary? stupid

I have been signing that boy name since forever
That lad got plenty potential waiting for a good coach , I won't be surprise if Bayern recruit him soon

Starting for Arsenal should be Mavropanos, Saliba, Gabriel rotating with a cheap, experienced defender like Vastergard and Martinez in goal. Arteta has been atrocious. Keeps making bad decisions back to back.

I watch the bundesliga and theres no way someone can convince me that Mary and Chambers are better defenders than Mavropanos. No fvcking way

chloroform:
Biggie should shock these people with all their clouts and all. If whitemoney should win this, consecutive season would be nothing to write home about cos winner would always be known too early in the game. I’m sure the organizers would bot want the obvious winner that happened last year to repeat itself again this year.

I’m certain whitemoney is not winning this even though he’s obviously the winner.

Just like Tayo in BBA

Wearing cap in church is now normal?

lloydtruth:
Nigerian players better move now that the transfer window is open, not when it's closed we will be hearing Inter Milan wants Simy, Tottenham and Inter battle for Mukairu, Lyon desperate for Onuachu, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid go head to head for chukwueze, Real Madrid wants Ndidi, Chelsea wants Iheanacho, Dortmund wants Moffi, and the rest of those imaginary speculations.

I read the other day that Inter were in for Moffi as a replacement for Lukaku and I almost chocked on my beans while laughing. Craze dey worry Nigerian people.

"Merit boys and girls"
Next time allow quota system people to play, we shall win for the nation

Quota system people have to go through qualifiers na. A place in the Olympics is not given by quota.

I noticed this present D'tigers team lacks a decent point guard. This have affected the way they control games. Maybe a guy like Spencer Dwindle would have come in handy. Even Ben Uzor would have helped out. Mike brown must look out to get a specialist Pg for the African championship, if he wants to win.

Nigeria is not a sporting country. We are just pretenders, you can't claim to be a proud sporting nation and all you can boast of is a paltry all time record of 2gold medals at the Olympics.
As it stands we are unlikely to add any medal of any color at this games. Just like we returned zero medals at the London Olympics. Our bloated egos won't let us admit the obvious.
