Yeah but the reason why there were so many companies to compete was because they were allowed to set their price .And thus make a profit. This attracted more companies more money more competition and more investment and price falling

Sim cards used to be very very expensive. Infact making calls also used to be very expensive. People back then were virtually calling on goverment to set prices .thankfully they did not


Discos canmot set their prices, thus they run at a loss, and thus they also canmot attract investment. Also they are virtual monopolies in their region of service due to the way the laws were set up.

By the way I don't work for the discos. I began reading up around the issues in the sector from 2013. It's an ongoing endeavour

No they don't. Let some one from the inside tell you. You will know what is going on. They make huge profits. The corrupt practices going on in that company is just too much .

Modrov:
We are.paying for power

Not at the price the discos need it to be to make a profit.

That's why.

Meanwhile in the GSM sector we have bettwr telephony than we did in the 1980s because we paid rates that enabled the GSM companies to make a profit to build up all the infrastructure that we use to chat and browse.

Are sure are you about this? Are you a staff of Ekedp ot Ikedc?

The GSM part. It was competition. It has nothing to do with how much we pay. MTN might have been milking us if Glo hadn't slashed its price . Are you in the system? Because it seems you will rather blame the consumer for a private firm's incompetency.

If offer great service, the consumer has no other option than to pay.

What can you say about water cooperation?

Modrov:
We don't have normal power supply because we see power as a right and not as the product it actually is.

As a result we underpay our power sector and in return our power sector does not have the money to fix or upgrade things

What did I just read? For real? . We are paying for this power, aren't we? It is not for free. We are paying . We even pay much more .

What kind of excuse are you making for them? What is the total power output we currently generate? Is it an ideal one to serve Nigeria? If we generate enough power to go round , I might have said you are right. But, I am sorry, you are wrong

We still haven't gotten stable poweer supply. At this age and time that we still have to have outages like it is normal. The Nigerian government has failed us in power sector from the beginning.


Ekedp and ikedc. These companies rake in millions If not billions daily then corruption within these firms is a massive one.
They should look into these corrupt practices rather than loot us for money.


Give us 24hrs power!!!! Is that too much to ask for ? .


People that made Nigeria what is it today, God go judge una

HellAnus:
Even with that fine building, Lagos state still uses well and don't have good drinking water

I have even forgotten that lagos state water cooperation exist. It is borehole and well for everyone.

NigeriaLimited:
So if they don't have issues with oil spillage which is a common problem down here
and they have oil, how come Niger-delta has oil spillage and issues with agriculture? Where are we getting it wrong in Nigeria? Something isn't right.

Niger Delta deserves more

Niger Delta matter tire me o. Looks like the Niger Deltan too don't want development. An acquaintance told me her story of how she and a foreign company wants to set up some schools, factories and some beneficiary stuff like that at one area of the Niger Delta. Do you know what the Deltans did?

When a meeting was call with the deltans to discuss how they want to build the infrastructure . Lo and behold, the deltans said they don't want any infrastructure but the money for the infrastructure should be shared amongst them. Omo.. Oyinbos shock o, the girl sef say she shock . She was shocked . They ended up sharing that money amongs themselves . That was how the foreigners left o .

Damn. How can humans be this heartless to another human? Hmmmn. Time is coming .

Still at this again? Am I reading what Garba is saying as a terrorist/ bandits apologist?

Iretiduro:
Around 300k to be paid back in 6 months

Will you be able to pay back the investor 60k monthly for 6 months?

Iretiduro:
Yes a physical business

Go the investment way. How much do you need to scale up?

Iretiduro:
Thanks so much for this but investment is also one of the last things people will do now considering what forex has done to most people. I have tried it but it hasn't worked. I'll keep trying sha

I am talking about people investing in your business . You believe in the business right? I don't know how much you need .
For example: Your sister can invest 50k, and you could be paying her 5k monthly for 18 months .

Just tell your friends and family to invest.

.if I may ask , is the business a physical one?

Iretiduro:
Good evening nairaland. So I am a budding entrepreneur who just graduated from the uni. I have a business idea I have been running since my undergraduate days who h was doing really fine. However during the covid I lost due to the restriction on movement.

Now the business is booming because of the increase in dollar rate imagine something you are making #150 per kg now making #350. So I tried securing a loan as no one will help but it's been futile. Also I had an opportunity for my sister who is a government worker to use her work details to help me secure a sizable loan that can get me back on my feet. The issue now my sister has refused to help me. I don't want to sound entitled and at the same time I am pained that she could potentially help me and turn my life around for good but she refused. I am thinking of talking to her again as I don't have any other option.

Or what other thing can you suggest or advice. I will sincerely appreciate it.

Don't blame your sister if she doesn't want to help you get a loan. A loan isn't what one takes lightly especially when it is on behalf of others.

You know what? Do it this way. People won't be ready to borrow you money or even loan you. They won't except... except they will be geting back something. So, tell people to invest in your business , do the calculations and give a good return on Investment over a period of time . Don't be greedy, remember it is for your business to grow. If normally you make a profit of 500naira and you got people to invest, making a personal profit of 300n while the investors get like a 100 naira each(2 investors) for 6 months. Here you are getting money to expand. Profits to will increase. Win win for you and investors

I hope you understand what I am trying to say . Already feeling sleepy . Just want to share that

uuzba:

Same reason you're still alive despite things not working out for you

No na. We live for a purpose

One has to define the relationship.

Why begin a relationship if you aren't hoping it will lead to marriage?

Normalise defining relationships. If na Fling u want,Fling am . If na marriage u want.. work towards it . If na Benefits ... make unna Benefit una sef.

That way you guys already know what u are in for. Nothing like heartbreak

Juliusmalema2:
Oga none makes sense. Better make I remain unemployed. Better make I go bend down for one road junction for either Osun or Ibadan de beg, at least I fit de get up to 5k a day. Think about this.

Begging isn't a option. Rather work than beg mehn

He has a very devout followership. Just like iphone fans. His fans are ready to do anything to get him up there. Apparently, he captured the heart of fans from his early music career. The girls first fell for the cute fine boy singing, it infected the boys then the men.

4.5/5

-.5 for not making Tetra suffer before her death

Dude!!! U realised some of us haven't watched it? The frck will you say your last line for?

Dude why? Whyyyyyyyyy

Yusuf grillo, Ben Enwowu, Bruce Onabraikpeya, Ladi Kwali and many more . We grew up learning about their arts. These people are actually geniuses at what they do .


Sorry for name spellings

One of the girls was saying " she has freedom of speech, she can talk" . Is that to say that Efcc is Hushing someone from talking? Economic and Financial crime commission not even the Police.

These same Efcc people will follow be abusing the government for bad roads , electricity and even abuse of power. You see when insay we are our own problem in this country. Everybody in power wants to oppress somebody.

I hope these people face disciplinary actions


For those of us still living in Nigeria we have ourselves to protect and to help. We can just collectively put a stop to all these force harassment. If we speak as one and act as one... they will fear us.

Calitoscassius:
What are you on about? Can you blame people for concluding?

A lot of Nigerians and their politicians are known to have engaged in crooked dealings before and still does.

Yes I can blame people for concluding. Two wrongs doesn't make a right. Hasty conclusions clouds our judgment and does more harm than good. We should always let them know we are more sensible that what they take us for.

Have you seen how some people believe all those Facebook videos? Even when you try to correct that that it isn't real, they won't accept. That is how bad it has become

Wait till you hear the full story. i have learnt to always verify news sources and get full stories before commenting . Some stories are sometimes not what it is exactly is.

for all we know, Ibe is rich enough to buy that car . so, why smuggle it?


Thought as much. someone has given a reasonable explanation above . Nigerians, make una dey calm down before una conclude

Hypocrisy should be a crime

What exactly is your problem gan gan? If at all others are tribalizing issues... should u be among ? Should you? As far as I know,you are an adult o. Who will grow to become a father someday If you aren't already . How do you caution you kids when he says these things you just say?

See, you might think you are catching "cruise" with this tribalism thing but you don't know how consciously or subconsciously it is being planted in your mind And everybody that reads your comment.

You are never ready for its effect.


Guy please stop. Don't be part of those that tribalise every issue. The others too will learn from you
