You are very smart and totally understand the game and the most painful part of it is that the humongous forex needed for the game will be sourced from Nigeria’s already depleted forex market..meaning that this dollar crisis and uncontrollable inflation and high prices in market is not going away soon

Which game!? Skepticism go kill you. But I kinda understand though, given Nigerians antecedents. But why not verify from someone working there and see if they are actually refining products instead of just being negative based on skepticism.

goatandyam:
But you go still dey import crude and petrol will not be cheap.

Thief

A product can't be cheaper than its cost of production. The sooner you accept that and be at peace the better.

Why is 96% of BDC operators in that Country tend to be from the North? I am just curious. Are people from other parts of Nigeria allergic to operating BDC?

Why are spare parts traders always from the east?

Wasn't it obvious that Nigeria's production of about 1.3mln bbls could not satisfy Dangote refinery! Especially as a lot of that crude already has owners by way of alternative funding, MCA and forward sales agreeemnts.

Why is nairaland full of fights and insult nowadays? One can't read through a thread in peace unlike before without seeing insults or fights.
We know we're all suffering but at least some of the dragging and insults is not necessary please.

It's a fallout is the last election.

Koko254:
Please guy I recently purchased starlink internet
I need the best backup battery for it
Mind you I have a solar system, which I did for about 3million, 4 genus carbon tubular battery 230ah
Felicity 3.5k inverter and 60A Felicity controller

But I don't want to be turning on my solar all the time, I gave internet access to 2 neighbors and they will be pay for it 12k each month,

So I need a backup battery for the starlink, a backup battery that can last upto 3 or 4 hours just powering only the starlink, just incase I turn off my main solar system

To those that know about solar and inverters an stuff, is felicity a good brand?

I ask because their 15kwh battery is going for like N2.96mln. Meanwhile other brands have even their 5kwh or 7kwh battery at that same price or even slightly higher. So wondering how Felicity battery is that cheap. Or is it that the battery inside doesn't really provide 15kwh?

[quote author=Onyi90 post=129810548]Propagandists, why didn't you add the viewing system done in South Africa, which is Pay as you Go. Be careful oh[/quote

There is no such thing. If you believe there is why didn't you share the link

Princewill1:
Poor minimum wage of 30k in Nigeria means that Multichoice pay lesser on staff wages in Nigeria (part of cost of production) in Nigeria than in SA. One of the reasons why the charge here should be cheaper.

And operating costs such as diesel, multiple taxes and levies is more in Nigeria, so one of the reasons why it should be higher.

Muhammad234:
South Africa, the national minimum wage was first
implemented on the 1st of January 2019 at a level of 3,897
ZAR (259.27 USD) per month; this was later adjusted to
4,045.09 ZAR (269.25 USD) per month

How is that Dstv problem? Go and face your government for a better wage. Dstv pays the same dollar for content.

There is no cabal anywhere. if you do the right things, the right things will happen.

We sow maize, but we want to reap yam!

Why didn't the NITEL cabals stop MTN and ECONET then? When you make the right amount of investible funds available and execute the projects diligently, we will have the desired outcomes.

MEEVEET:
I finished secondary school at 15 and was considered too old at home ( I moved primary school a few times costing me 2 years)

Most of my relations finished at 13 or 14

There are people abroad who graduate from University at 13,14 15 ... Yes university

Some people get PhD at 19

Putting a cap to this age of admission is wrong for a nation that wants to advance

Those are very, very rare cases and those individuals are at genius level. Stop peddling rare occurrences as the norm.

I entered OSU at 17, graduated at 22 and I have been working for over 20years. My life didn't end because I didn't graduate at 19!!

Where are we rushing too.

Slytiger:
Ever wondered what the coolest coastal road trips in the world are? Picture the scene, you're cruising along a breezy, coastal highway, windows down, your favourite playlist on the car stereo. Utter bliss.

There's a real sense of freedom and romance to be had with a classic coast road trip, especially if your drive includes dreamy coastal scenery, quirky pit stops, challenging roads and fun passengers.

A coastal drive is the perfect road trip for seaside lovers and those seeking adventures and travel memories that will last a lifetime.

This attempt to 'greenwash' coastal road will only work for the largely illiterate among us - of which they are unfortunately many.

A road is meant to get you from Point A to B as efficiently as possible to boost economic activity. That economic activity could be trade, productivity, tourism etc. While a road may produce scenic views and become a sort of tourist attraction, it's very unlikely that that was the aim of its construction.

One thing you'll notice about almost all the roads you provided pictures to is that the road is flanked by mountainous regions. The road hugging the coast is therefore born of NECESSITY, as the cost of attempting to construct through the mountains continuous peaks and valleys will be mind boggling.

Nigeria doesn't have that terrain challenge, so why are we spending unnecessary money building a road that requires so much sand filling, when we could push it inland a little bit?

But wait, that road already sort of exists!! It's called the EAST WEST road from Calabar, to Uyo to PH to Warri to Benin to Ore to Shagamu to Lagos.

What makes sense is to do the VI to FTZ phase, then after the FTZ take the road to join the existing East West Road after Ore. That saves us a ton of money for other roads across the country that need urgent attention.

You people comparing us with roads in US, UK, Japan, China, Sweden etc check their annual budget and ours

Nigeria $33bln
US $4Trln
Japan. $750bln
South Africa $130bln

We should spend our money more wisely.

Kindly compare their bouquet price in South Africa even though it's PAYGo then come back here an argue sir.

There is no such thing as PAYG in SA. If there is provide a link to their SA website where they advertise PAYG!

Nazgul:
Their new prices have already been confirmed. Gotv Supa+ is now N15,700 against it's former price of N12,500.

The problem with Nigerians is that we don't speak with one voice. Tribalism really divided us. If not tell me how these criminals would constantly keep exploiting us year in year out and all we can do is to grumble on social media without any action?

What have you done about:

Bread
Petrol
Diesel
Medicine
Transport
Rent
Rice

It's not about diaspora fund. Money can be borrowed from anywhere. The fact that the money came from Nigerians in diaspora doesn't mean it's any better than if it were to be from Eurobond issuance. It's still a debt.

The issue is what projects will it be spent on? That needs to be known upfront and the cost associated with each project clearly specified

You mean an unresponsive person was transported from VGC in Lekki all the way to Lagos University Teaching Hospital a journey which would take at least 90minutes at best...is it that there are no hospitals in the immediate locality where he could have been taken for medical attention?

Good question. What about Reddington, Lagoon, Evercare?

jmoore:
Anyone that can pay above 100k per month can afford solar.

Not that straightforward. Solar may require as much as N5mln upfront cost if you want at least 5kva inverter and 10kwh li-ion battery storage which I imagine would need like 15 panels.

Inverter like N800k
Battery like N2.5mln
Panels @N100k each N1.5mln

baretalk:
What have the lazy ineffective governors been waiting for... federal government has since given states and entities right to build their power infrastructure...since the beginning of this administration.

So power plants just spring up overnight abi? Didn't some states have to do the groundwork to get their state electricity regulator up and running first?

Nigerians just talk nonsense Sha.

Anyway I don't expect state governments to be the ones building power plants. They should let the private sector tender for the provision of electricity at a contracted rate and they go build it.

Lagos State can have 500MW floating solar on Lagos lagoon in 3 years if they are serious. There is a global glut of solar panels now, particularly from China. Now is the best time. And we can back ot up with grid scale batteries for nighttime when the sun isn't shining.

Dennisochampa:
I no understand Nigeria...

Why can't we study the power supply structure of countries where power is constant and apply the same principles to our own power sector

Countries like united kingdom, power is 24hrs and does not shake... What are they doing differently that our government cannot adopt

The billions of dollars wen emefiele thief suppose Don reach to take kick off stable power project...

If u add the ones wen we dey waste for subsidy, e go reach carry the project reach somewhere and if u come add the ones wen people like matawale don thief..... E go reach to finish and commission the project

What they are doing differently is that they are paying the appropriate price for electricity.

Nigerians always want government freebies

Energist:
Compare the two in US $, you'll see a slump. I know that some taxes especially from the oil and gas industry come is USD

Exactly! It's easy and pretty dumb to say VAT increased when a $1 VAT in 2019 would be N365 and the same VAT today is N1400.

I beg. This is a useless article. How much is required to buy diesel that Nigerian banks cannot afford to lend? If I buy 10mln litres at N1000, that's just N10bln!

https://dailytrust.com/electricity-fg-targets-6000-megawatts-by-end-of-2024/

The article doesn't even relate to the headline. Nothing in the article says how exactly the government is going to go from 4000 megawatts to 6000 megawatts. Which power plants are going to add to that power generation?
