please what about the (750) fixed charge monthly that amounts to billions of Naira, didn't it settle the gas charges? Or the estimated bills charged to customers for power not consumed which amount into billions.

The problem is they want to make more profit. I pay around N20, 000per month for a 2 bedroom apartment with at least 5-6 hours power in 2days (estimated bill). Now please add 45%to that and tell me how visible that is.

If they cannot operate they should hands off. The Government should open the market for free entry and see how things will change.

Exactly bro, this is where I will hold PMB responsible and start attacking him if he does not reverse the phcn privatization scam by the previous FG, those discos or skelewu guys are not ready for business I tell you. Its time for Baba to descend on them like he has done with subsidy scammers.

adipemcanis1:
The sad thing is that we had to privatize the power sector...because we had no choice. This is one decision of GEJ that made sense.

The problem is....Nigerians want to pay zero naira for electricity. And they expect miracles from the private companies who are dealing with poor equipment, and poorly trained staff.

If GSM was not privatised from the word go.....it would have been messed up by now.

The privatization thing was a scam, what infrastructure has the discos provided for us to take them serious? when the gsm companies came, they started building infrastructure immediately cos they meant business.

steppin:
We saw this coming. Another cartel doing their best to hold the country to ransom.

By the time PMB descends on them now, they will shout rule of law, even Fayose will abuse PMB for doing the needful. We are in a big poo in this country.

Its now difficult for ffk to call APC an islamic party, really really difficult. I am also waiting for Femi Aribisala's article on the new PDP chairman, walai, it it comes out, I will read aloud every word and sentence. Interesting times indeed.

@OP, stop wasting your time, they will never listen cos the brainwashing is just too much.

Pavarottii:
Why are the APC Zombies more bothered about the choice of SAS than even the PDP members. But u people kept quiet wen they said Zanna and Ali Ndume are BH sponsors; and also kept quiet about SAS until now he is now the PDP chairman; u people now remember things u don't even av prove for. Or are u jittery as d post says.
U people should face ur governance and leave PDP alone. Are they begging 4 ur votes?
Wats the fuse about a mere chairman. How much effect does Oyegun av in APC? Or did Muazu av. Wat matters is the governors and presidential and vice the party brings out. Wen northern governors start defecting to PDP! I will remind u of this post. Una think say Una sabi Nigerian politics reach PDP?

Just allow PDP do their own, u do ur own.

Thanks!

easy man, don't be so pained, it was the likes of Ndume and Zanna that made u guys in the pdp to label APC as a party behind boko haram which you guys allege they used to disturb your beloved GEJ.

Am sure you folks in the pdp knew the antecedents of your new sheriff before making him chairman and you now expect the whole world to keep quiet? The earlier you guys change your chairman the better cos folks in the south south and south east no longer have the guts to say that APC is an islamic party that has no place in their region, you have made them look like fools believing PDP was a christian party while APC is a muslim party.

The new pdp sheriff is a testimony to the fact those pdp fans who labelled APC as an islamic party were just hypocritical, no wonder ffk said pdp needs prayers, he now knows that he can't continue to say that PMB or APC wants to islamise Nigeria.

PDP has brainwashed their followers to think they were a christian party, now the ss and se regions where folks there says there is no room for APC cos its an islamic party now have to accept a supposed islamic fundamentalist as their national party chairman.

What a comedy, Nigeria I hail thee , perhaps the reason why some folks in the se and ss are now porting to APC, they knew what was coming after all.

EmmyUrch:
I read comments of people on this NL everytime. Ive been a silent member for a long period of time tho but when i see people make comments that are so senseless and insane i begin to wonder how much ignorance and deceit some people have been fed with for so long a time. Onyeka Onwenu jst gave a life testimony, are NLs not aware of the fact that what this woman says is truly what is happening in Nigeria federal ministries, agencies and parastatals?? Nls who dont know that Northeners in this country are d ones who have controlled all key positions in this country for many years should go and ask their prents and grndparents questions. Enlightened parents tho.! The northeners are solely responsible for the woes and downfall of this country. The northerners are solely responsible for the bokoharam retribution and scourge being unleashed upon them. #NoPity The northeners since inception of this Mirage we call Nigeria have always though and fought that ruling is their birth right as they call themselves #Caliphate #BornToRule the question is "born to rule where''? The north or Nigeria as a whole integration? Asides tribal sentiments and biase, Onyeka Onwenu is a matured woman who has been and seen how Nigeria has fared for a long time. Hausa Northerners killed nigeria. They are still killing Nigeria. They are more in the army, government, ministries, police, agencies, parastatals. They get the biggest FG contracts, appointments etc. So if you dont know this or aint aware of this, i advise u STFU! This country is nothing but a dream. A mirage! A hollywood movie directed by Britain that will end 1 day.

my guy most of what onyeka said if not all is nothing new but if I may ask you will her rantings solve the problem? mama peace[GEJ's wife] said more during the campaign and still they got booted out

popcykaylah:
oyenka is someone I respect but she's lost that the moment she became tribalistic in her comments. she of all people should be that last to say such.she's never going to lead Nigerians again in any form especially with this childish comments ..

Exactly my issues with her statement, looks like some peeps from the south east just talk as if PMB or northerners will always be President forever, sometimes we forgot that its only God that can determine who will be in power if not Abacha should still be ruling us by now.

wetin person no go hear, is it not the same onyeka that almost went on her knees to greet PMB the other day? Now she turns around to say all this trash against northerners. My peeps from the south east needs to learn more about diplomacy, its not everything you are facing in your job you come out to the public to say, who says onyeka cannot be called back into the public service to serve in another capacity? The way she has gone about her rantings will surely block another opportunity and then the cry of marginalization will start.

All other persons from other tribes faced and are still facing what Onyeka is talking about, its a National problem down to the local govt level but our brothers from the south east must learn how to use diplomacy to address their issues and not come out to abuse other regions anytime they have challenges.

Teddeebear:
you are still a kid.

you know a northerner will never accept that, no matter your negotiations, esp when it comes to oil.

Not to talk of yorubas with agenda every day.


common PIB, which is mostly to encourage local content could not fly

if state control resources, all the northerners and yorubas owning oil blocs in SS will lose it.

Your response shows what am talking about, lack of diplomatic tact as you have already concluded that other regions will never agree. But how come they all agree to squander our resources by allocating bogus allowances to themselves, have the ss lawmakers ever objected to the bogus allowances they receive to the detriment of Nigerians.

Whatever makes then to agree in looting our commonwealth can also make them to agree on fiscal federalism. The ss lawmakers are not smart enough They are the problem so who are they representing? Have you not seen the north east lawmakers lobbying to set up a commission to rebuild the relics from book haram destruction.

Wake up man, it is the ss lawmakers that are kids. No one hates them.

1miccza:
Was there an actual proof ? Or are you relying on all the rubbish being displayed on the social media and press outfits

Easy bro, my point is when she is made to account for her past deeds hope u guys won't be back to cry foul

Teddeebear:
you reason like a kid, can a president single handedly change the constitution.

What happened to PIB and Local government Autonomy bill

Have you not heard about Political lobbying before? what stops the south south members of the senate and house of reps from lobbying and convincing their colleagues from other regions to pass the PIB bill which will be beneficial to their states, this is where the northern politicians are better in playing ball likewise their counterparts from the sw, the problem with politicians from ss is lack of diplomatic tact to play ball with others, instead they play the victim and cry about the marginalization of the past and abuse others to make their points, there is no free lunch anywhere in the world, you must work hard for what you want.

I hope you now know who the kids are now

hinwazaka:
She is within her right. In fact the Vc's of the five universities who were unjustly removed from office before the expiration of their tenures should follow suit. The APC madhouse need to be forcefully fed the tenets of Democracy down their Fulani-Yoruoid throats

why i agree with you that they should fight for their right hope they will also know that it is also our right for them to vomit our yams if found to have eaten some. Its a two way thing o

stevecantrell:
There is a new class multi millionaire emerging from the forex crises. I think rather than complain, one should try to get his foot into this exclusive door to effortless cash.

This is the best comment I have seen so far, only those who were truly beneficiaries of the looting of the past are the ones actually complaining, I also feel for the employees of organisations and companies that have been profiting from the looting of our treasury in the last 16 years and importation based organisations too.

Its time for everyone to begin to look out for opportunities which abound as a result of the present economic crisis, this is time companies like Innoson and other indigenous manufacturing companies who produce the necessary needs of Nigerians will make cool cash. This is the time to get into online businesses to rake in lots of foreign exchange that will turn one's life around.

Those complaining are not helping themselves as some fellows are raking in lots of cash in this period, I know someone who has raked in 17,000 euros within this period. Its time for a paradigm shift, we need to be more dynamic as Nigerians.

hinwazaka:
Anyone who does not see the wisdom behind this move, is merely a phool and a political m0ron. Sheriff has a large following in the NE. Gerrymandering is what it is all about. Watch out for a Okonji Iweala presidency.

okonjo ke? you se guys are the ones that will finally bury the pdp with the way you are going

Herald47:
shut up,they are the owners of the oil,so they can make their decisions when it pleases them,it none of your damn business.

you don't get my point, when they were the all in all in aso rock, why did they not enforce full resource control? This is what makes them bad politicians with no sense of diplomacy, its all about playing the victim and crying foul even when all is in their care and authority and finally it is the decisions that you are talking about that has landed them where they are now

Olabestonic001:
You're right but let's not throw away the baby and the water. Let the people hijack and set agenda on how we want true fiscal federalism.
Its the best for all and sundry; forget the crooks and looters of yesteryear's.

my brother its easy to destroy than to build, when we had fiscal federalism working wonders in the 1960s, some wicked fellows because of their over ambition wrecked havoc by going on a killing spree, that was when our problem started, its so amazing now that the region where those over ambitious fellows came from are the ones yearning for the true federalism now. This is one of the major reason why that fiscal federalism looks so impossible now.

Maybe when the generation of all those who caused the havoc then including the ones from other regions finally pass away, just may be, we may try the fiscal federalism again but for now fiscal federalism is almost impossible due to hurts of the past.

Olabestonic001:
Wake-up man!
I support the man's stance 100%.
Honestly, anyone against states controlling their resources is just scared of working hard. Hard work pays more than anything. I'm a Yoruba man and I've always support states being self-dependent. Osun would definitely come out better, same to Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo, Ogun. Even the Hausa states that seems the most scared will definitely see the benefit.
They should just ensure that 20% is remedied to the Federal Govt which the govt at the centre can use to maintain the military and integrity of the nation. But, you know definitely that the elites won't see easy money to steal again. And in all reality, Tam-George spoke well but its mainly because of the time and not because of his principal's love for his people.
I pray the dollar falls to $1=N1,000 so that we can disband the present demonic and corrupt structure we operate in Nigeria. May the LORD give us the will to do the right thing in JESUS NAME.

that is the crux of the matter, its all about full scale looting of resources, forget the resource control bullshit, we are not deceived

alaoeri:
Shoroniyen , why they don't agitate for such thing during Jonathan's regime.
One Nigeria till the end of time.

don't mind them jare, a Niger delta man was President, they did not make the niger delta states to have full control of their resources because of all the free money they were sharing in Abuja, now that they are no more in aso rock, they are shouting for full resource control.

It just shows that the survival of pdp as a party is dependent on full scale looting, nothing less. yeye people with their yeye party.

diegwu01:
Where is Femi Fani kayode? He totally condemned Ali Sheriff and used that as one of his reasons for leaving APC.
I need to see how he spins this.

Femi has no choice but to accept his beloved chairman

bezimo:
Oscar just came in to mess up the game.Losing balls and no sharpness

I wonder what he came to do in the game, but I blame the coach, we needed a defensive player not an attacking one.

Someone once said Joseph daudu is a lawyer that always try to avoid trial by bringing frivolous applications to quash charges, same thing he has been doing to saraki case until the Supreme court gave his verdict. Now I understand better, what a lawyer

Na wa o but dasuki go finish all im money on top court matter o

The wailers are so quiet o but why is that PDP makes it so difficult for their supporters to be proud of them.

Chai, it has been so difficult defending dasukigate, now another tougher job is at hand.

Odikpa serious o.

ParagaLife:
My guy.... you are a correct man!
I agree with you 200% we need this kind of thinking to progress in Nigeria.
The battle has always bin between "THE RICH" and "THE POOR". It's not about ethnicity or religion.
We are always getting into the wrong battles.

Recently, Cosmas Maduka's son, a rich igbo businessman got married to one temitope, the daughter of another rich yoruba man.
Now the question is....
do u think a cosmas maduka would have preferred his son to get married to a nobody/ one poor igbo lady from the east?
OR temitope's father would have preferred his daughter to get married to a nobody/one poor yoruba lady from the west?

Obviously not!!! the rich does not beliv in this ethnic shit,!!!
ALL OUR LEADERS HAVE FAILED US AND ANYTIME WE TRY TO UNITE TO FIGHT THEM,
THEY WEEP UP ALL THE ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS SENTIMENTS TO DIVIDE US.

A word is enof for the wise.

This has been one of my arguments for a very long time, the rich only use ethnicity and religion to divide the poor and the remaining ignorant Nigerians who should know better.

kraftykc:
People should please not forget that even if the maker of the car is an Igbo man, the most important person in this scenario (THE BUYER) is not. Ben Bruce is a Nigerian Senator, and his profile is what is giving Innoson a boost today, I'm sure Innoson will be grateful to Senator Bruce and even give him a sizeable discount for this free PR.

So my able bodied Igbo people, we must realise that we keep hurting ourselves by trying to appear better than everyone else. We hurt our country, our markets, our professions and honestly our homes too. Humility and brotherhood will take us to heights that pride can only dream of, so let us keep up the good work for not just our sakes, but Nigeria's sake.

well said I support your post 100% and I hope everyone will listen, imagine all the states in the se purchasing their official vehicles from Innoson, then other regions will automatically follow and Nigeria will be best for it.

For the first time, I support Ben bruce on this common sense revolution but credit should also go to the present FG for their tight fiscal and forex policies that is now forcing Nigerians to look inwards.

That is the way to go

IYANGBALI:
babalawos waiting for their turn

HOLY GHOST FIRE!!!!!

PeinDanzo:
Buhari may just be d biggest disgrace ever

because he appointed pastors abi? una funny no be small

If this is the kind of politics Ben Bruce is playing, then he has my support cos am for anything made in naja but for his remaining rants, I don't give a damn

poiZon:
u r more pained than me cos I knw u will always be were u r even if billions r shared amongst buhari supporters, it wont get to u.
simple question u no fit answer u dey talk anoda thing.

my guy na u the thing de pain pass o lol, cos na u de mention billions.

baralatie:
You don't have an electronic register and an electronic register is not the same as the voter register contained in the electoral act.

You are blowing grammar here sir, we now have an electronic voters' register so the electoral act itself is now confusing, hence the reason many are calling for an amendment of the act to be in tandem with the current realities.

poiZon:
we neva had a gud head before, but now we do yet still d body is still rotten. my question is, is d head truly good or it was just a packaged lie?
dont quote me if u cant answer my simple question pls.

since you have the answer already, why are you asking? doesn't changed the fact that some fellows have to go cos they can't be there forever simple, If you are pained, that's your problem even companies sack their employees [competent or not, good head or not] and life continues.
