Crystal Palace whyyyyyyyy

Power has been privatised since 2013, so it is in the hands of the private sector to give power.

But because most of you are not ready to pay cost reflective tarrif, since 2013, government has forced the NESI to charge a tarrif that is way below the cost reflective tarrif, and to introduce the system of stratification.

Had the NESI been allowed to charge a cost reflective tarrif, by now everyone would have had at least 20 hours of power...because the thing would be profitable enough to pay for improvements.

Subsides never work for Nigeria. See we don't subsidise food or telephony...and they all work well.

you can only deceive yourself.

Racoon:
Why the stratification in the first place? Some citizens are more equal than others as far as energy needs are concerned?

It's even more painful knowing being in band A or any other band is not earned nor is it by choice, BUT only by CHANCE.

I find it difficult to understand why some group of individuals will enjoy availability of power more than others due to no fault of theirs, but because of where you are residing, quite absurd.

By now Govt should endeavour to give all Nigerians adequate power supply and stop this stuff of bands having varying supply hours.

Is it only Band A customers who voted for them
Maybe it's only Band A customers they'll campaign for and would vote for them come 2027.

In God alone should himan beings lace their trust

Hmmm

A black man can never be found doing this

Before condemning "black man", what will you say about the zoo keeper killed by a lion at OAU, Ife, while feeding the lion

Informant101:
What's wrong with abokis self, small thing they will be threatening to cut supplies to the souths, as if we had once threatened them to cut our IGR relocation to the federal that will affect their allocation.

yeah, they need to consider too that a certain region is responsible for more than 80% of the revenue that the entire country relies on.
We are all useful to ourselves. I don't in any way support destruction of the crates though.

Raymondfayowole:
Are they trying to discourage importation with high import duties? When local products are expensive...case of flexing muscles with the wrong approach

I think so.....

Clawing at anything and everything

Radarada

That name fits the action perfectly.

Bobloco:
Umahi is overwhelmed

Sincerely they should just allow the man do his work...

Is it because he has made himself accessible hence they want to turn him to "question answering machine"... So many other Ministers in this government that we don't even know their names nor their Ministry.

Only few of them are known to be doing something; Wike, Umahi, Tunji Ojo,,,,aside these 3, most people even after hearing names of other Ministers will have to start thinking about what their ministry is or how well they've been functioning in such ministry...

Blue3k:
No big deal. If he answered your questions in English or Igbo translate it.

I tire o

pquaver:

But i thought it was Buharri and tinubu that destroyed Nigeria? Una dry confuse me ooo

what does it tell you if we can still be experiencing this now even after 30 years!...

moreover that of 30 years ago didn't get to the point of shooting and killing an ordinary citizen, worse now or not?

Hmmmm, interestingly, 30 years after, someone was reprtedly shot at a filling station due to a similar occurrence

EmmyMaestro:
After struggling with removal of fuel subsidy,
Increase in food prices,
High cost of living,
Increase in electricity tariff,
Fuel scarcity,
Which one did I leave out, then they will now kill the person because he went to buy fuel.
Chaii, this country na wa

not even one thing to serve as succour to Nigerians, so so sad

Timoleon:
Na so trouble go reach some innocent persons o.

I can bet that amongst the occupants of those buses, there'll be those who had no interest and did not take part in the exchange between the mob and the police. However, with the present outcome, them go explain tire, no evidence.

This will definitely be some occupants situation

franugo:


How? His calculations are on point

Yeah.

lilfreezy:
Lmao. See the kind of train and seats they are giving us in the SE. Nigeria should continue. Even USA prisoners travel better

Those seats are like olden days 'molue' seats, so so bad

Cindypresh:


And that will boost your economy?? Buhari that closed border for 8wasted years how did it impact food crops??

I don't know how most Apc supporters seem so so d^ll

Sincerely I don't understand them...
Very wicked souls, I find it difficult to believe they are Nigerians

So disappointed in our leaders.

Looking forward to just 1 thing that brings ease to Nigerians since May 29, 2023, yet to find or see such.

The only way to reduce the influence of the black market is economic and financial. Mostly economic and less financial.
Black markers exist for a reason, to meet the deficiency of the official market. When Tinubu came in, he did away the the pegging officially of the naira to a particular rate, thus floating the naira to diminish the influence of the black market, that was a wrong move, it created panic, panic is the worst thing that happen in the financial market, people panic bought dollar as the naira slid down, the black marketers felt the burn but they knew it was going to be short lived, foreign investors pulled out their foreign currency from the nigerian market. some people manipulated the market by hoarding the dollar they already had betting that Naira was going to keep falling unless the government intervened, others like myself used my little naira to buy small dollars hoping to starve off the fall of the naira and its effect on the price of goods and services.

The destroy the black market, the Nigerian government should adopt good economic and fiscal policies, writing here would bore you and these are not immediate.

However immediately, my plan is this, I worked in a bank for more than 15 years. No 1. Stop customers from paying cash into their FCY account, it makes no sense, if you have deposits, make it in naira, no withdrawal of USD, you must sell your USD to the bank. Starve Nigerians and the black market off USD, if you are a business person and want USD, bring the proper documents and the bank would Transfer to your vendor, remove USD cash from circulation in the Nigerian markets, BDCs would reduce

I know we have different forms (M, X) that can be accessed from the cbn tradesystem.portal, I wonder why some traders still go through black market to access the needed dollars to carry out their purchases, knowing fully well that cbn has also lifted forex restrictions on so many goods hence the privilege of importers of such goods to access forex at cbn rate,,,,, we need to do an analysis of what goods are being imported by those who access forex via bdc, likewise the volume of same, if its volume is significant enough to impact on the dollar/naira relationship and necessary as per its need by Nigerians, perhaps the cbn can capture it amongst lawful goods that can be imported using the cbn official tradesystem portal.

Furthermore, the issue of accessing dollars via black market to pay for visa, ihs fee etc should be looked into, these payments are official, why can't people pay for visa and ihs fees through a dedicated cbn portal like the tradesystem portal where form A is used to pay for tuition and where PTA and BTA are accessed.

It's just for the cbn to make further findings, what and what do people need foreign for, try to make such payments official through tradesystem portal, make withdrawal of foreign currency illegal like you said and observe the situation for further necessary actions .

Anything tinubu you support like a fool. You are even trowing in abroad? The youngest graduate in the world is an American and she was 10 years old when she graduated. The lady below graduated 1st class in philosophy. Philosophy ooo, try am if you no go mad

don't mind them, it's when it comes to implementing nonsense they will be making reference to 'abroad', but they won't see and implement other very good quality of life the government over there gives to its people

Eshera:
Very outdated

very nonsense policy.
One or two young lads might have a challenge and they will just generalise.
It's like saying we should not board vehicles again just because 2 vehicles had an accident, it doesn't make sense na

I wonder the potential Chelsea saw to have gone for him

Mason Mount


Nicholas Jackson

Yes of course

Celebrating increased vat generation while the citizens get more impoverished. Its judicious usage is more important as far as we are concerned.

melow666:


Don't you see how ridiculous your plan is.

Firstly, there would always be a black market, we love dollar a lot in this country. Secondly, if there is a black market, I would buy from the bank and sell the black marker. Let me give you an instance, I used to work in a bank, when FG had a lot of foreign reserve and the banks sold dollar, there was no pressure, you could buy dollar from the bank during Jonathan regime, but the economic downturn started and the foreign reserve shrunk, Nigerians turned to the black market and these black market people simply raised the price as demand was so high. Trust Nigerians, the cbn still made allocations available for traveller's and students. Thousands of people would buy the dollar from the bank at cbn rate and go and sell in the black market. It was terrible, out of 50 people buying, only 10 people would genuinely travel and out of those 10 people, 9.9 did not need the full amount of USD4,000 allocated by Cbn. Infact, it seemed as if the government was subsidizing the travel expenses of Nigeria. Let me give u an instance, let's say in 2023 I wanted to travel to Kenya, I would buy my ticket around 400k, I would then approach the bank and buy PTA 4K USD at the official rate of 419, and after that I would go to the black market and sell it at 900 naira per dollar, I will make double the amount I spent for the PTA, just in a day, I will make a profit of 900k or there about. For schools fees scam, the profit was even more but I do not have the time or strength to type here. But as long as there is a powerful market and the pressure is on the Naira, it would be a mess.

Well said.
But can't "Black market" be done away with? The official recognition is nauseating.

SadiqBabaSani:
Omooo this war of Schools Reno brought will not end well for Agbadodiots

I see it as being good, at least politicians will be exposed as per the rot in their constituency and hopefully act to correct it.

When we keep quiet too much, they tend not to do anything.

We are yet to see the "dropping" of the price of goods as a result of Dangote "slashing " the price of diesel
