FreeStuffsNG: State Governments should create alternatives to national grid so that they can control the whole value chain. Discos are marketers and do not totally decide the price without the consideration of Gencos and Transcos that transmit the electricity.
Enugu is being impractical. Even the Power Plant they are soliciting from investors will not materialize if the private investors see an overbearing regulator. Besides, it takes several months to build a power plant. They should have had a transition plan and engage with all the stakeholders first while working on the alternatives to national grid.
The big elephant is the Gencos with their huge capital outlay and cost of gas. Enugu placed the cart before the horse and has given a leeway to the Discos to see them as inexperienced
EEDC can quit na. They should save us the noise abeg. All Discos are thieves. They have stopped investing in transformers, cables and what have you. They are only interested in collecting receipts. Lol.
SmartPolician: States shouldn't be setting prices for Discos.
If they think they can run the show, states should have their own Gencos and Discos.
After all, Buhari and Balablue signed bills that empowered states to do that.
EEDC can quit if they aren't going to make profit based on this. The electricity at 168kwh is still very very lucrative. Why making over 100% profit from band A. EEDC should distribute more meters and increase their band A territory to make more profit. This will give EEDC room to improve their services.
Dangote refineries VAT are collected in lagos, but consumed across the whole nation.
That sharing has not even done justice to the consumption pattern in Nigeria. Lawmakers and governors should push for this VAT to be collected at the point of consumption.
This man is very very foolish. What if Obi had business appointment the day former president was buried? He should overlook his board/business meeting to please someone like. Omikiri or what? Obi is a busy type and he had other planned meeting to attend before Gen. Buhari died in London.
God1000: Nazi Germany wasn't this cruel, I've always known this as their plan even before the war, these people will do just anything to prevent Palestinians from having their independent country
Nobody is a Palestinian. Stop promoting this identity fraud!. They have given Arabs Jordan and there is no way Jews will allow Arab migrants to occupy their ancestral land so cheaply.
israelmao: This is an pattern which demands spiritual approach.The first step to the rescue is salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.
Black man! There is nothing spiritual. It simply means that their ladies have stubborn gene in their family which they use to abuse their husbands. That's why their in-laws die young.
iwaeda: Delusion is one of the greatest thing, how do you feel the North Central will go with West, with disastrous action of Tinubu. If Tinubu wins again, South East will not get a smell at presidency until 2039 and 2039, it will be North central's turn. Calm down and drink water.
It doesn't matter, but south East won't vote for atiku over Tinubu. Once Peter Obi is out of the equation, Tinubu will sweep south West, South East and south with over 90%. This is the Plain truth.
iwaeda: You will all suffer maladministration under Tinubu, and complaints for the next four years after this. Wisdom is profitable to direct.
We suffered under Buhari for eight years and we didn't die. Tinubu is trying after he inherited one of the worst and damaged economy in Africa.
Yes, president Tinubu has not done well in some sectors, but he is 100 times better than disastrous Buhari. The only way to defeat Mr president come 2027 is for north to vote for another southerner against him. Give your ticket to Atiku or any other northerner and Tinubu will be announced winner before noon as he will gain at least 65% vote from South East, 65% vote from South South, 60% vote from north Central and 98% from south west.
iwaeda: Big fallacy, let those pushing Obi, borrow wisdom this time around. All I will say, I have seen obidents movement becoming toxic since Friday.
OYa na! Give your ticket to a notherner and see how tinubu will defeat him or her before noon. You think South East and south will vote for a northerner after Buhari's eight year. Just dey play.
Tinubu is doing projects across the whole regions. He only failed in Managing our exchange rate and inflation because of the removal of fuel subsidy. If tinubu creates Anioms state and sign state policing to protect the belt and Northern minorities, it's game over for any opposition come 2027.
The only way tinubu will be defeated is if ADC fields a southerner and such candidate wins north east and north west with 65% Margin.
iwaeda: Former Vice President and 2023 presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has vowed to appoint more youths and women in his government if elected president in 2027.
“We will make sure that 70 per cent of our appointments will go to the youths and women,” Mr Abubakar said in a viral video circulating on social media on Saturday.
Mr Abubakar, who has contested the presidency six times in three decades, also promised a massive crackdown on corruption if elected president.
Promising zero tolerance for corruption, Mr Abubakar said Nigeria remained repressive because of a few corrupt individuals.
“I swear to God, if elected, whoever steals or engages in any corruption-related activities, we will declare war against them, and they must be punished,” Mr Abubakar said. “Other countries are advancing, but Nigeria remains regressive because of a few corrupt people.”
Mr Abubakar’s statement comes a few days after opposition politicians formed a coalition, adopting the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as their official party to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
The other two members of the coalition, former Anambra Governor Peter Obi and former governor of Rivers Rotimi Amaechi, have promised to serve only one term.
Mr Abubakar’s promise to crack down on corruption comes a few years after he was caught admitting in an audio tape how he and others deployed onshore shell businesses to corner billions in federal contracts.
Also, Mr Abubakar was at the centre of a federal broadband contract scandal that engulfed former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s government.
The charges later saw the jailing of William Jefferson, at the time a serving member of the United States. American authorities said they found cash bribes believed to have come from a Nigerian racket in Mr Jefferson’s refrigerator while probing the case, but Mr Abubakar was never specifically charged.
Meanwhile, Mr Abubakar has contested the presidency six times: in 1993, he contested on the Social Democratic Party (SDP) platform; and in 2007, he contested on the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) platform, losing to Umar Ya’adua of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He challenged former President Goodluck Jonathan in the PDP’s primaries in 2011 and lost. After joining the APC in 2014 ahead of the 2015 election, Mr Abubakar lost the presidential primaries to Muhammadu Buhari.
The politician returned to the PDP in 2017 and lost the presidential election to Mr Buhari of the APC in 2019. He contested alongside Mr Tinubu in 2023 and also lost.
If ADC gives their ticket to Atiku, Tinubu will declared winnner before noon on the election day as he will win North Central, South East, south south and south West.
Truths9ja: who are those that will zone the ticket to the south. 80% of Atiku followers are in ADC already. how many followers does Obi has? How many obi followers are in the coalition ADC?
Then Tinubu will be declared winner across South East, South South, North Central and South West before noon come 2027. South must complete their 8 years. Any Fulani that wants to rule mshould wait for 2031.
If ADC zoned the ticket to north, then it's game over for them. Amaechi or Obi should get the ticket.
Truths9ja: Problem don start already. Na Peter Obi and obidents will faced the consequences of obi defeat in ADC. Atiku will win ADC presidential primaries next year.
Atiku won't contest. ADC will zone their ticket to south.
stuffs2002: Israel had to beg Trump to call for a ceasefire because their defence system was running out much faster than Iranian missiles.
Also, the different layers of defence of Israel were not actually stopping the hypersonic missiles from Iran.
Israel would never have called for a ceasefire if they were not on the losing side.
Stop lying to deceive yourself. You didn't see how your Iran FM travelled the whole world begging for Israel to stop. Your Iran FM even said that a call from Trump eill stop IDF aggression and pleaded with EU and Putin to help and stop the war. Your so called 'supreme leader' is still hiding in a hole like a rat. What else do you call a defeat? Let him keep hiding like nasrallah of hezbollah na!
You see how many Iranian generals, scientist and leaders that were killed? What else do you call a defeat? Your so called 'IRGC' were busy firing rockets indiscriminately. I trust IDF to reply same way once the war resumes in 7days time.
stuffs2002: Yet it is Israel crying upandan and begging for ceasefire
Stop lying to yourself. Post where any isareli official travelled to talk about ceasefire. I will post how Iran FM travelled across the whole globe looking for a way to stop IDF from destroying Tehran completely
HEAVEN4444: the destruction to Israel happened after the generals were sneakily killed telling you this is a hydra with many heads and in a war I can fire how I want to fire. There are no rules when I want to destroy you. Israel never obeys rules when destroying Gaza women and children so you crying about rules is the perfect sign that you lost. Only losers cry about broken rules lol
Nobody is crying. Your Iran travelled across the globe looking for ceasefire. Post where Netanyahu or any Israeli appointee pleaded for a ceasefire. Post it na. I will. Post where your Iran president and FM travelled to Turkey, Geneva, Paris looking for ceasefire.
HEAVEN4444: Israel is in dust and rubbles. It's now in past tense
Iran was just firing missiles induscriminately like a snake that got its head chopped off by a cat.
Israel cut off their head by killing all their generals, commanders and military infrastructures.
Your Iran FM is still in Aljazeera denying that they didn't break the ceasefire, because he knows what it took him to stop Israel from killing the so called supreme leader.
HEAVEN4444: you are welcome to your version of events but reality remains reality. Bibi is begging for a ceasefire. Bibi in his entire 80 years or so on this planet has never been known to beg for ceasefires. In fact the man is known for ignoring ceasefires. Once that man has his foot on your neck he ignores all ceasefires but right now the man is begging qatar and Saudi and Trump to help him secure a ceasefire. Make of that information what you will
Stop lying! Your Iran FM has been junketing across the globe looking for who will stop Israel from destroying Tehran. Even your so called supreme leader is still in a hole like a rat and he appointed his replacement as IDF wanted to kill him.
Did you ever see Netanyahu hide in a tunnel? Didnt you see him granting interviews?
Attached is your Iran FM begging trump to stop Israel and that's what Trump has done to save their shattered image.
Let them threaten America and Jews again. Mad people
HEAVEN4444: I mean the foundation of Christianity is Israel but now the place has been raised to the ground by Iranian warriors. So does that mean that Christianity will now be obsolete ? I mean the power house and foundation of the religion just got bombed back into the stone ages and so surely that must render the religion obsolete right ? What is the next step by Christians ? Should they revert to worshipping Orunmila and Obatala ? Orunmila baba ifa.
Keep consoling yourself. Your Iran has been destroyed. All your so called IRGC generals, commanders and military infrascture all decapitated. Iran will be treated like Lebanon by IDF.
