PoliticsRe: Why Is Electricity Generation In Nigeria Rocket Science by Ebubu6: 10:14am On Jul 08, 2023

Remains to be seen

Government did claim to have removed subsidy in 2021, but with the way DISCOS are still looking for approval to increase prices, I doubt.
the subsidy may have been truly removed. Delay in approving discos request to increase price is so as not to crump the common man at once. They’re still adjusting to fuel subsidy removal and education subsidy removal. By next year ending they will have fully adjusted and permission will be given to discos to dictate their own price by that early of next two years when Nigerians will have fully adjusted to fuel and education subsidy removals.

If you hike all the prices at once, massive protest, if you phase all the price increases differently, it’s easier. Same reason why the increase in electricity tarriff was pushed to September 1st.

That may not be the final increment, but it’s a small step in the right direction to attract more investments in electricity sector.

Like Seriously,
Enforcement attacks in Ebonyi on Tuesday
Enforcement attacks in Enugu on Wednesday
Ekpa's allowed break on Thursday
Enforcement attacks in Anambra on Friday
Who is next?
it seems it’s the same enforcers who move around various states and they have calendar.

It appears they’re few in number and hence reason why they attack different days. Security checkpoints on borders between each state should be improved.

Also security agencies should be abreast of their sit at home day and ambush them as they enforce it.

Like I said , you want the truth, or the same old story.

The thing is, when you do price controls, you always end up with serious issues.

Wonder why the telecoms sector had problems when it was just NTEL, and does not with MTN et al..no price controls. As a result...the companies can earn enough profit to fix and build antenna and lay wires and grow the sector.

Meanwhile, DISCOS cannot charge above cost of production (Buhari even froze prices for two years self)...and as a result don't have enough to pay GENCOS and TCN. Several of them have even gone out of business and had to be taken over by the banks, and in one instance government.

If Government is setting your prices, there is no way you can make a profit.

(And Government price setting is even a sign of how bad government is, not defending them, oga.)
I heard electricity is now deregulated meaning states and private sectors now can generate, distribute and transmit electricity within that state.

What is the implication? Is the electricity subsidy removed thereforth with this law pls?
PoliticsRe: Why Is Electricity Generation In Nigeria Rocket Science by Ebubu6: 10:05am On Jul 08, 2023
nairalanda1:
Well, you want the truth, or the false story?

Truth: Government has been setting prices for electricity below the production cost to help the poor. Also, a significant percentage of electricity consumers do not pay for the power they consume.

The result, the sector cannot make a profit, and thus there is no money to fix things well.

This happened when there was NEPA, and when there was PHCN and now DISCOS and GENCOS.

(This 2018/9 paper by PwC gives the real koko)
Electricity is heavily subsidised in Nigeria. People who can provide 24/7 electricity can’t invest because of the subsidy. As minimum wage increases and people can afford more electricity, government will remove the subsidy. Electricity prices will increase, and as a result there will be more light.

TheboyGhost:
Then you are not from Abakaliki.

Just one Question, what is the Clan name of locals in Abakaliki .
which kind of question is this. Abakaliki and Ebonyi as a whole is like a mini-Nigeria. So many clans and dialects. There are ancestral cross river people who now live and have communities in Ebonyi state. Ask of the Ntezi people. They weave baskets and are not aboriginal Ebonyi people. Their kits and kin are today in Cross river but they migrated into Ebonyi and have officially recognised communities not far from Abakaliki.

Should I mention Effium who are descendants of North central migrants ? They speak Korring dialect.

We also have Izhi, Ezza, Izhi, Ikwo, Ngbo. These 5 speak almost the same language and are related. They are the typical Abakaliki people and owned the state by conquest in the late 20th century. Stories emanate they migrated from North Central and adopted Igbo as they traded with neighbouring Igbo communities.

We also have the Afikpo and Ugwulangwu, Uburu and Ohaozara who are descendants of Arochukwu people in Abia state.



So you can’t tell me I don’t know Ebonyi state. I am proud Ebonyian. I know our history and we don’t want to be part of Biafra.


Our pledge to Nigeria and dissociation from IPOB and Biafra is what has attracted tons of financial and political aid from Federal Government of Nigeria. We are more respected in Nigeria than within Igbo. And we want it that way.

Don't know if you are been sarcastic, but the Enugu state I am is the most peaceful place I have ever lived.

Don't know about Anambra state, cus I'm not currently there.

By the way what part of Ebonyi state are you from.
i don’t know what you’re talking about. Ozokoye my friend got a contract work at Alex Ekwueme teaching hospital in Ebonyi but couldn’t resume last two weeks Monday simply because no single park was opened in Enugu for him to board.

On that same Monday I sent a waybill package from Ebonyi park to Uyo in Akwa Ibom state.


I am from Ohaukwu LGA in Ebonyi

The most shocking aspect is that we that base in the south east don't experience most lies they post here, currently serving in Enugu state, I swear the place sweet die, No disturbance and everywhere is peaceful here, On Mondays we just find one local joint and relax ourselves. Then I'll check on Nairaland frontpage and start seeing how IPOB killed 7 people in Enugu, while we that were there haven't seen anyone with sticks, talk more of gun. This keep me wondering where they manufacture their own IPOB. grin
it doesn’t matter what truly goes on. What Media reports will determine how investors perceive your region. Investors don’t call you to know state of security, they use Media. And if media reports are negative they won’t invest in ur state, employ people and pay tax.
