Politics › Re: My Opponents Created Hunger & Poverty In Nigeria - Tinubu Tells Kaduna People by izombie(m): 9:52pm On Oct 24
emkz:
Where is the lie?

Someome was vice president for 8 yearS, NITEL and Nigerian Airways staff were disengaged and not paid. The argument was that they were unproductive. But NNPC refineries' staff were paid for producing nothing.

When someone was vice president, more than $60 billion was wasted subsidizing dollars.

When someone was vice president, his wife received $500,000 from a company associated with another company that obtained a suspicious power contract that sought to collect settlement from Nigeria.

Did that recklessness not lead to poverty and hunger?

Atiku is from the north; has he solved their problems?
bro even helinus above don reason this one come know say tinubu dey yan trassshh.

Politics › Re: EKEDC Charged A Man For Loss Of Revenue For Installing 18KW Solar by izombie(m): 4:42pm On Oct 21
nairalanda1:
Don;t blame the disco for doing what they did

When most of their customers are not paying a cost reflective tarrif, plus a significant minority are stealing power, and it has been ongoing for years, dedicated customers like the man in the story will seek for better alternatives...because the disco is not making enough money to give them light.

And when they do, and stop paying the disco, the disco is going to start doing things like the above.

People abuse me for calling for cost reflective tarrif. The fact is, if everyone on the grid was paying a cost reflective tarrif, enough profit would be made and enough investment would be added to fix power, and prevent abuses like this from happening.



The above is the typical response I get...which shows they know they cannot win against my argument that a company needs to make a profit to operate properly.

A common myth people like the chap above believe in is that apparently companies can operate well when they are not making a profit, and that government setting prices is the way to go.

He also believes that the N208 bn naira that the discos made in May this year can somehow magically pay for the 328 bn naira worth of electricity they were supposed to distribute, and pay for their taxes, and so forth.

Hence his above comment.



Note the fact that this comment shows he believes that he thinks that when experts like Professor Nnaji of Aba geometric call for a cost reflective tarrif in the power sector....he thinks they are saying..you know.

It's kind of amusing to see nairalanders comment on things they do not know about. And it's nice to see him lose his cool for a change.

(I'm begining to feel older than the vast majority of people on this site, even though it may not be true).

Nigerians believe that a company should give efficent service at a loss. And they believe that with all their heart. That's why it's no use having a decent discussion on this site when people believe like that.
Just see wetin you dey type. I live outside naija and everyday you see workers of power providers fixing or installing one thing or the other because they know that if they don't provide electricity that will result to loss of revenue. If a company wants to make profit then they should first and foremost provide the necessary service. No one would be going for solar in naija if electricity supply was good. Abegii.

Politics › Re: Obi Tells UNN To Release His Academic Records, Urges Other Candidates To Do Same by izombie(m): 1:21pm On Sep 15
ekitimanalways:
If Peter Obi truly wants accountability, he should publish his unprompted, without demand or theatre, and then talk about the issues that actually affect Nigerians: security, the economy, power, and jobs. The office is not a CV contest.
But it has been published by inec. But the drugggie agents still requested his cert directly from UNN. When UNN refused to give them the cert they went to court to force UNN to release obi"s academic records. Now PO is giving UNN permission to release his academic records to anyone that wants them.
