Politics › Re: Unpaid Electricity Bills Now N6tn – Gencos by fineboynl(m): 1:11pm On Feb 19
nairalanda1:
That's what I tell people.

Nigerians, rich and poor, and even the government, are not paying their electricity bills, and the result is a sector hamstrung by liquidity challenges. The subsidy and price controls make matters worse.

That means that discos cannot raise enough money to pay gencos. DIscos have to even reject power from the gencos because they know that people not paying means that no money to pay the gencos.

But most people na to deny, deny, deny. Some even misunderstand what privatization means. Yes, it means people invest, but it also means that customers have to pay the kind of cost reflective tarrifs that would make the investment make sense. Not this one where only 20% of people pay cost reflective tarrifs (and there is no way that revenue from the 20% who do pay can subsidsze the rest...).

A business must make a profit to survive. If you call someone tinubu supporter for saying that, that means you are saying that tinubu government get common sense, which as we know na oxymoron. And anyway, tinubu is keeping the price controls on the sector that are contributing to the problem.


MODIFED

And here is an expert speaking on the matter



sauce: this day
which electricity bill.? The over estimated bill?. Them them provide meter to every household and business district
Phones › Ever Wondered Why Certified Apple Charger. Lightning Cable Are Expensive? by fineboynl(op): 8:57am On Feb 19
Companies generally do not pay per-device royalties to use USB-C hardware, as the USB specification is openly available and royalty-free. However, there are administrative and trademark fees associated with official certification and branding. But they’re minimum and not per unit basis.

Apple products are proprietary product just like closed loop. You must be approved by apple to make any of theirs products or accessories. While most products found on other devices like android are open standard. For any company to make a certified apple product there are alot of regulations which makes them very expensive at the end.

Proprietary vs. Open Standards
Unlike Apple's proprietary Lightning connector, which required manufacturers to pay a license fee of roughly $4 per unit under the "Made for iPhone" (MFi) program, USB-C does not have a per-unit cost.

To produce iPhone charger and cable you are to pay apple certain amount for doing that. Also to use apple logo attract fees.
All of these are the main reason third party companies manufacturing apple accessories very expensive. Except generic and unlicensed Chinese companies.


Exceptions: If a USB-C port is used to deliver other licensed technologies, such as HDMI or Intel’s Thunderbolt, the company must pay separate royalties specific to those standards.

"Off-label" Use: Technically, a company can use a physical USB-C connector for custom signaling without paying any fees, provided they do not use the trademarked "USB" name or logos.

Cooperation is after money and return of investment. They are not really into investment more. Rather huge profits.

Scam of the 21st century.

The company spent so much on research and innovation hardly make it or just little profit. The once that waited for the idea to be perfected before they use it make the profit more.

I have been looking for the exact olx scrip to build. My free platform.
Phones › Who Still Remembers When We Carry Chargers On Our Neck 2010-2014? by fineboynl(op): 8:48am On Feb 17
During that time phones' mAh capacity was between 1300 and 1600. Due to removable batteries and the technology at the time.

Back then, 2000 mAh meant the phone would be very huge and heavy.

Non-removable battery polymer made it possible for phones to start having 2000-3000 mAh.

Then came the power bank to reduce the stress.

Car Talk › Re: “direct Belgium Car: How Fast Can I Process All Documents In Abuja? by fineboynl(m): 5:24am On Feb 17
Hotel is not a wise thing. You should try talk with them if it possible to for express because even that 2 weeks is not guaranteed. Except after buying the car you start the registration and leave the car with the dealer maybe 25% remaining. After the completion you can go back there to pick the car.

Alternatively you can use the dealership plate number to go anywhere pending when the papers and plate number will come out which will be way better to you. Thats is the proper way.

Once you did inspection and make payment start the processing the of peppers the same day. The. Have the leaders delivered the car to your state pending when the peppers will come out.

Phones › Re: Airtel 5G Appeared In My Location With 310mbps by fineboynl(op):
Update on the airtel network.

It's so terrible on whatapp audio call. Dispite with the fast.com high mbps review.

How would video call be? I just imagine. Because the phone keep heating up and lags, braking during voice call. Sometimes disconnected. I had to switch to mtn for stability.

It might be the poor latency uploads speed.

Look like mtn is still far better
Politics › Re: Stop The Bleeding: Sell NNPC Refineries- Punch Editorial by fineboynl(m):
That refinery is just politics.

They will refine if they want to, because ragtags boys can refine crude from the creeks with poor equipment. That refinery can do better than them.

Refining is not rocket science. The process is in the open. Youth from niger delta are refining the product though a poor quality but as big as the NNPC they could do better.

Bring the Chinese or Indians to manage those refinery. Trust me something would come out from those refineries. Even if not full capacity.
Phones › Phone Price To Go Higher Due To Dollar Sudden Fall. by fineboynl(op):
The us dollars is crashing worldwide. And the price of phone to hit a record high in place like Nigeria. The price of phone is going down worldwide but the price keeps increasing in Nigeria. The price of phone Last year December have increased with about 25-30% in January and February.

Why is the dollar not crashing in Nigeria. But have crashed in all other countries?

Due to dollar crash phone manufacturers will increase there price in dollars due to inflation. The price will balance in other countries but will go higher is some countries like Nigeria because the dollar didn’t crash in some countries.

Metals like Gold, silver, bronze Etc which are critical components for phone making are going higher and it will affect price too.

VawulentMan:
Where are you located?
Location matters, Airtel 5G is good in your area doesn't mean they have a wide coverage.
Their most used band(4G) is still struggling in most dense populated places
yes. The reason it's fast now is because people are not using the 5g. Imagine when more and more people start using it. The speed will drop. 5g phones is not that common like 4g. And people are not aware of the 5g speed.
Phones › Airtel 5G Appeared In My Location With 310mbps by fineboynl(op):
Mtn is in trouble. If people in my location found out, they will dump them . Mtn is busy with the FibreX connection and abandoning their 5g because of greed and money, base on tergeted audience. While airtel is focusing on spreading their 5g coverage across. Which company is smart?

I bought airtel 5G router 2 years ago. But I was disappointed by it speed. No 5g but just 4g and speed was so terrible I couldn't even stream TV. The following week I went to mtn office to get the mtn 5g router yet no 5g in my location with the mtn. But their 4g suppass that of airtel and can stream TV.

I have been using the mtn 1year plan for 2years because their network was better although they treat their customers anyhow. Change of policies and bridge of agreement without consideration. Today I saw airtel 5g on my phone and I decided to test it. Oh my God it beat Mtn hands down over 100x.

My phone is more cooler. And better battery performance. But this mtn that keep draining my battery. You know if signal is poor phone get to heat up and drain battery.
Airtel data is much cheaper and friendly. Only problem with airtel one cannot share their data to other users.

Glo is still sleeping. When will Glo rollout there 5g?

Politics › Re: Nigerians Experiencing Significant Drop In Electricity Supply Nationwide by fineboynl(m): 7:23pm On Feb 12
nairalanda1:
Well, the problem with privatizing Nepa was that the government introduced price controls

This meant that discos essentially charged prices for power that made them lose money.

Until the band a came on board, discos lost at least 20-50 naira per unit of power sold for every consumer.When band a came , discos only made a profit from 20% of consumers , and made a loss from the rest.

That's why no serious investors are coming . No one is going to invest in a sector where most people are underpaying and where government is struggling to pay the subsides for the losses made


And for iwaeda and raccoon, the same thing will happen under an obi presidency unless he is ready to do differently from the useless apc and ensure that everyone pays a cost reflective tarrifs. Same for the apc supporters here too. Your man tinubu is strangling the power sector with subsides and price controls.
you lied. Band a is subsidizing the power for the others. A kilo watts is not upto 200 naira

Politics › Re: How 3 Southern Senators Scuttled Real-time E-transmission Of Election Results by fineboynl(m):
My take is that inect officials should announce the result at the poly uniit in presence of the crude and poly agent. And the agent and people should be allowed to video the calling of results as evidence of the results. Place one result on the wall of the poly center.

Transmit the results to inect server in real time. The people in that poly unit can verify if the result is same as the one announced in

panpan:
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is just a lending institution.
The goal of the IMF is to cripple the economy of non-Western countries.
No African country has prospered as a result of following the advice of the IMF.

By the way, why is IMF matter coming up on the front page almost every day?
Is the IMF trying to offer loans to Nigeria?
Africa is the biggest heat by the imf. Although they allow the middle east to be far better than africa and asia. Since the middle eat have more resources they asia use natural reasons like oil. Same with most Africa. The difference with africa and the middle east is leadership. Although the middle east have more leverage to supply more oil by opec than african countries

When the wast couldn’t compete with japan then forced hard economy policies on japen which destroyed japen economy. The move the production to china and south korea. But china have grown so big that they couldn’t destroy china.
