Consumers should not be paying for a meter, it is the responsibility of the Disco to install it for the end user. That was the arrangement when they were privatized.

Whose property is the meter, the end user or Disco?

If at all consumers are compelled to pay, it should be a subsidized price.

The price should be subsidized by FG.
Going by what I heard lately, the price of a single phase meter will be around 150k.

We celebrate nonsense and Mediocrity in this country.
We are fast loosing it
I fear for the next generation
They will think stuffs like this are normal and makes you more popular and make you rich.
I saw Ogun state governor honoring a full grown able man sitting for days just to put his name on Guinness Book of Record.
You will never see a serious country like Japan and China glorify this nonsense.

There mumu no too much.
They actually went there to plan how to work against Tinubu's re-election in 2027.
Northern Governors are the most unserious governors in Nigeria except Borno State governor.
I expect every governor to be working towards building their states to make it at least 50% less dependent on the monthly allocation that comes FG.
Whem this country finally divide in 2028,some states will really suffer.

Saudi Arabia has said it will open a shop in Riyadh selling alcohol to a select band of non-Muslim expats, the first to open in more than 70 years.

The clientele will be limited to diplomatic staff, who have for years imported booze in sealed official packages known as diplomatic pouches.

Saudi officials said the shop would counter "the illicit trade of alcohol".

Prohibition has been law since 1952, after one of King Abdulaziz's sons drunkenly shot dead a British diplomat.

The new store will be located in Riyadh's Diplomatic Quarter west of the city centre, according to a document seen by the AFP and Reuters news agencies.

A source familiar with the plans told Reuters the shop was expected to open within weeks. There will be limitations, however:

Thirsty envoys would need to register beforehand and receive clearance by the government
No one under 21 will be allowed in the store and "proper attire is required" at all times inside
Drinkers will not be able to send a proxy, such as a driver
Monthly limitations would be enforced, the statement said.
However - according to the document seen by AFP - these will not be particularly stringent.

Patrons will be limited to 240 "points" of alcohol per month. One litre of spirits will be worth six points, one litre of wine three points and one litre of beer one point.

There are also no suggestions that the clientele will be widened to "ordinary" foreigners in the kingdom without diplomatic privileges, who officially have no access to alcohol.

While alcohol will become part of Riyadh life, drinkers would be wise to be mindful of where they drink and how they behave afterwards.

Under current Saudi law, penalties for consumption or possession of alcohol can include fines, jail time, public flogging and deportation for unauthorised foreigners.

The document also said authorities are planning a "new regulatory framework" that would also allow "specific quantities" of alcohol to be brought in by diplomats to "put an end to... an uncontrolled exchange of such goods", it added.

For years diplomatic staff have had to use their "pouches", which cannot be tampered with by authorities in their host country, to bring in limited amounts of alcohol.

The moves are the latest in a series of initiatives known as "Vision 2030" to liberalise Saudi society under the crown prince and de facto ruler of the country, Mohammed bin Salman.

Other Gulf states operate similar alcohol regimes.

However, the UAE and Qatar also allow the sale of alcohol to non-Muslims over 21 in hotels, clubs and bars.

There is no suggestion from the Saudi document that the government there is considering doing the same.

While alcohol is forbidden under Islam, Saudi Arabia had until 1952 held a conciliatory attitude to its presence inside the kingdom.

That changed after Mishari bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, a prince, shot dead Cyril Ousman, the British vice-consul in Jeddah, in 1951 for refusing to pour him another drink at a function.

A year later, King Abdulaziz imposed a total ban on alcohol. Mishari was convicted of murder.

Saudi Arabia's first alcohol store has opened in the diplomatic quarter of its capital Riyadh.

Tranquillity360:
The reasonable thing to do is call on the army to go after the culprits and leave innocent people.


But people,most people from West are calling the army to level the whole communities.

Your Nigeria is the only country where soldiers kill it innocent civilians just because criminals in that location attacked them.

Can US kill and burn down homes of it citizens because of some bad elements in a particular location.



You Nigerians mentality that soldiers are right to kill innocent people and burn down communities when attacked is very bad.

Why are you labelling people from the west as the ones calling for genocide.
The OP is not making sense, people were just talking based on past occurrence. Do you think anyone can influence the decision of the Nigeria Army?
Let's stop all these blame game please
If your kinsmen are involved in this barbaric act, you better submit their names for thorough investigation.
