States cannot set tariffs for electricity they neither generated nor transmitted. If they want to reduce tariffs, they should subsidize the portion they discounted, otherwise they should generate and wheel the electricity they want to reduce prices for.

It's that simple.

You're the one bringing up the generator nonesense cos I didn't mention that in my post, why don't you use your brain and think why a country with over 250m population can't boast of 10,000 mega watts?

Do you want to tell me you don't know the importance of electricity in economy development?
Why is it so hard for every government to improve on it starting from Obasanjo? They'll come and leave it at 6000 and some people will come out and say the problem is distribution and not generation yet for how many years they still can't solve any of it.

Use your brain for once and think deeply,this is not conspiracy theory, I wonder why people like you who fail to think deeply will come out to shout conspiracy when you're the one actually doing that.

COMPAQ:
If ENUGU state wants electricity to be N160 in its regulatory domain, it either generates its own electricity and sells it at whatever price it wants or buys it from the grid and subsidises it. There is no other way. As of now, almost all the power plants in the country belong to the Federal Government, as well as the Transmission grid.

And state government shad better not go down that route of subsidy. It has not worked in any sector in Nigeria. All it breeds is corruption and inefficiency. The tariff should be cost reflective. Let the business thrive and grow by itself.

You are still not understanding it, it doesn’t matter where the company headquarters is located, what matters here is where the produced items is consumed and that where the VAT goes. Where a company locate their headquarters doesn’t matter.

Electricity availability they say when the head is off it will be too late to cry. Power supply systems in the country has being in destructive positions from the beginning of the beginning of freedom in the country.
Nigeria the 6th largest population in the world with over 200 000000 million ; in need of 200000Mw power supply but with just about 4000Mw as at today 17 October 2024 .
Brazil the 7th largest population with about 185000000 million having over 185000Mw ,see also the country called Mexico the 10th largest with over 150 million people having over 1500Mw.
In the case of Nigeria, a country in need of over 200000Mw but just with a little over 4000 Mw.
To every problem there is always a solution.
The solution is to have several direct foreign private power supply systems companies generations, Transmission and Distribution operations companies to be established in the country for direct
Power supply systems operations supply all over the country at a good price rate for every supply users.
So over the governmental Administration to go into the entire solution for the dead and buried power supply systems situations in the country.

Dangote, lafarge and cement distributors are the ones frustrating the efforts. I've had that people are already buying BUA for #3,700 in Iwo town and other places where BUA is popular before now.

But distributors in places like Lagos and Ibadan aren't buying the BUA cement because there's no incentive for them on it. A trucker told me that for every 7 trucks of dangote cement a distributor but, dangote will give them 1 additional trick free of charge. So they choose to remain with dangote for their own gain and also if they meet a certain target in a year they'd be given a brand new Truck for their business

Modified: What's it with nairaland guys and they always trying desperately to fault women in any post concerning them. How can i in good conscience tell my husband that his sister is trying to scam us? Do you know the blowout that could happen from it? The bad blood that may be forever caused by such accusstion? Yeah my sil was trying to pull a con, but she's not the devil. Even now, I respect her and still relate well with her especially as she didnt succeed.

For my husband, i told him that his sister could mean well and i just wasn't sure of her source and when a source I'm sure about comes around, only then will we pay, but if he still believes the job is legit, he can go ahead and pay. Of course he didn't pay and the whole thing ended there.

The way i did it was the best because even now, everything has died down. Pkatakpata they'd only say i was too proud to take the job offer. That isnt a sin.

Just when we thought it was over, boom! Nintendo hit us with their own game tech. Double Dragon I play that game like no tomorrow. Power Rangers was the bomb. We then became addicted to Konami Super Star Soccer, that's when I fell in love with any soccer vid game. Killer instinct was another bad ass game. We use buy magazines to learn players move combo.

Who knows a place called Payless, they have Playless1, 2 & 3, all in Victoria Island. They was the bomb that year in the 90s, they had all kinda games in there from SEGA to Nintendo all over the places Gadem. You need see how guys use to mob the place, we use to buy playing time, 1hr for 20naira. If you have 200naira that means you have 10hrs of game playing time. Dope!
