Not the entire property us being demolished. The road only affected about 5meters of his beach front same way it cut through Oniru beach.

[color=royalblue]50m actually.

It didn't affect the building.

Just the properties on the beach[/color]

BlueRayDick:
If Nigeria were to be an ideal society sef, the amount of compensation govt will pay to legal property owners along that corridor alone would discourage them from going ahead with the project .

[color=royalblue]There's a possibility that only Lagos may have properties that would warrant compensation.

The rest may just be fishermen's lodges on their coast[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Izzou have u heard latest about the coastal highway ?

So Lagos state has been issuing notice to people with properties along the corridor where the road is to pass and Landmark resorts has been given a quit notice notifying him that the $200m resort will be demolished .

The man has come out to plead with the government to reroute about 1.5km out of the 700km so the property won't be destroyed . He mentioned how he got the land in 2007 long before there was any plan to construct any coastal highway so it's not as if he bought a land knowing fully well the government will demolish it one day.

The business employs 4000 Nigerians directly and 12,000 indirectly . Even if FG gives him compensation for demolishing his property ( which I doubt they will ) ; what happens to those people working for the company that are about to join the ever growing unemployed pool in the country ?

[color=royalblue]Yes oh, i saw it

You know say i kuku never see the sense in spending 1 trillion on that Highway.

The LASG has asked him to file for compensation. I'm guessing he has his documents legally. [/color]

Read that article.

Buhari gave these Discos 6 million meters to share for free to each household that are not currently metered, that was in 2020. How many people did these Discos actually gave the meter?

The little they gave out, it was sold.

Ogun go punish Adelabu once again for siding with the Discos who are perennial liars and exploiters over the masses. The thunder fit touch Tinubu sef.

[color=royalblue]Can you imagine?

If not for the little prepaid metering system, Dangote for don drop for Richest Nigerian list. Na Discos go full there.

......how much is a prepaid meter?! ₦100k plus right?! Let's assumed about ₦200 homes and shops need meters in Alimosho LG, that will ₦20mili. Its not plausible bro.

[color=royalblue]What is not plausible?

It is not free. Install it, and let them pay for it through the Units they buy. Let us not even pretend as if Prepaid started at 100k. It was 33k plus when we got it then.

If any Disco get mind, let them install prepaid and let me see if they won't fold up by morning.

[color=royalblue]The same Kaduna that hundreds of children were kidnapped and there was no protest, is the one that Shiites are protesting because of Palestine?

Ewwwwwwwww

Who swear for us, abeg?[/color]

OasisX:
.....Ikeja Electric tried it last year but our people didn't respond. They threatened to disconnect any house without meter but our people still find their ways around the threats.

[color=royalblue]How come Nigerians didn't find their way around the NIN and BVN threats?

They know every single consumer under them. Why not take the Prepaid to each doorstep, install it, and deduct the price from the Units they buy?

Let them give each household prepaid meters, and let me see if they won't all turn to bakeries and primary schools in 6 months[/color]

1v1 nobody chop money reach Abacha but military government is inherently cheaper than civilian government due to the significantly smaller number of people certified to put hand in the national pot.

[color=royalblue]True [/color]

BlueRayDick:
Don't mind him.

Attached herewith is an estimated billing for a 2 bedroom flat about 3 years ago in a Band C area.

Only God knows how much they will be paying now .

Now imagine how much Band A will be paying now that the tariff has been increased

[color=royalblue]This reason seems to be the new style to justify their incompetency; Nigerians cannot pay the true price of energy

But year in year out, we still have massive areas that are still on Estimated billing. Why not give them prepaid meters and see if they will pay or not?

Provide 24 hours electricity first, then let us see if Nigerians will pay or not.[/color]

OasisX:
........it seems its in Lagos that's kinda hard to get meter(s). Its really not difficult in some states, especially in southwest - from experience.

[color=royalblue]Why can't the Discos start forcing the Prepaid meters on all their coverage areas?
[/color]

OasisX:
.....Nigerians want stable power supply for peanut. They want to power full house with 3 ACs, standing AC, Televisions, Deep Freezer, Fridge, Water Dispenser(s), Microwave, pressing Iron and other appliances for ₦20k per month.

Can we even power our home without most of the appliances with ₦10k diesel for 24hrs?! I want steady power supply for every home and coy in Nigeria, but we should ready to pay, not seeking for subsidy from Federal Government.

....if you are on prepaid, if dem no give you light, your meter won't read, hence I advise you get prepaid meter.

[color=royalblue]The irony is that we do not have stable power. Or is there any area that has 24 hours/7 days electricity in Nigeria?

When the Discos have done their homework, you can then drag Nigerians.

Give every Nigerian home a prepaid meter and half of the Discos will fold up by May.[/color]

TemporaryHansel:
Estimated billing is still cheaper than running generators. My other house in another state, there's no meter there. Same estimated billing, guess how much they charge me monthly when I'm around? It's not even up to money I spend on fuel in a week whenever they don't bring light.

[color=royalblue]You obviously do not live in Nigeria, because you seem to be mixing everything up.

How can Estimated billing be cheaper that running Generator?

Estimated billing is you paying for no power, epileptic power, and even when you do not use it.

If they don't bring light for one month, you will pay the bill

If they bring light for 30 minutes in a month, you will pay the bill

Something that is more of a fraud, is cheaper than generator? How?[/color]

Funny thing is if u decide to blow whistle, DSS will use questioning choke u without taking further action.

Even the OYO state matter, nothing is being said again. The victims have moved on and everybody just acted as if never happen . So many people homeless, cars damaged and some people missing.

Omo! This country scares me most times.

[color=royalblue]Blow ke? They will eventually make you look stupid.

Fisayo dey drag IBD, and a Minister openly wished IBD a happy birthday, and even talked about how he has been a friend and helper...A current Minister.

You no see as Fisayo tweets be like comedy content? Nobody dey take am seriously again.

Just go on X and mention CustomsNG on how you found someone smuggling 2 bags of rice, and see how they will acknowledge your tweet.

But Fisayo own be like 1Xbet Advert[/color]

BlueRayDick:
That's why I've always maintained we have leadership issues in this country; the entire one year I spent in the north made me realize that.

The sun in the north is so harsh, but less than a week over there it got me thinking : "why are we not tapping into solar to power houses and factories in the north?"

When I got to my PPA, I was surprised to see a full ICT center that was constructed by the Federal government which is powered by Solar. Like if there's no NEPA light for 3 days , some of us corpers literally relocate to the ICT center to spend our days there while we only go to our lodge to eat only to return there.

Then I was like, if this thing is actually possible , then why do we have the north on the national grid? Like rain might fall for as much as 275 days out of 365 days in a year. Why is the federal government and the state governments not figure out a way to gradually take this people off the national grid by investing in Solar energy over time. Why does everyone has to rely on the hydro electric?

Why is the FG not thinking of how the gas deposits in the Niger Delta can be used to generate power for Niger Delta states? Why is FG only pumping into NDDC money that will be looted by their appointees?

Like why do we have simple and obvious answers looking at us in the eye and we just choose to ignore them?

[color=royalblue]I was speaking with a guy that works in the port last month

He told me that if i see what the Chinese are doing in Northern Nigeria, I will weep

He said most of these "Bandits diplaces Villagers" story we read is not the true news. What the Chinese do is that they go to a village, settle whoever needs to be settled, then pay Bandits to chase the villagers away.

Immediately that is done, they swoop in to mine lithium.

And that is how billions in USD of our resources are carted away.

See the one that happened in Oyo. If not for the blast, wetin for happen?[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Then that makes sense, just that even gas now is expensive but at least it is better than the darkness the discos want to continue selling at high price.

Independent Power plant would've been more beneficial to them, but those stuff are very very expensive considering the exchange rate now and when it's up u will be paying serious money to keep ur engineers motivated to work.

Omo! But now with this tariff rate, fight go dey happen between families on rationing units o. Imagine make wife commot house forget to switch some power source while the husband is looking at how they will ration 83 units @ 20k for the whole month.

[color=royalblue]IPP are the way to go, but when you look at Nigeria, you will know the country is already a weapon fashioned against prosperity.

In all of these energy challenges, the Ministry should be looking at how to generate green energy. China and India have generated Gigawatts from the Sun. Why isnt it possible?

Yes, Solar is expensive, but the raw materials are here. Why not we find a way to produce these things here, and it becomes cheaper for us to use, without the burden of FX?

Instead, state governments will be giving Chinese the licence to mine lithium here for peanuts. Those ones will carry the lithium to China, design batteries with it, and come and sell it to us in USD.[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Most companies like MTN, Nigerian breweries, Nestle, Cadbury declared losses for the 2023 financial year due to exchange rate wahala and fuel subsidy removal.

Now imagine what this electricity tariff increment will do to their production costs this year again. I can't imagine how much companies like Nestle, Cocacola, Seven-up , etc will be paying for electricity at their plants

[color=royalblue]Some of these big factories have ditched Discos a long time ago sef.

They know that these guys are just ripping them off

Most companies in Agbara Industrial estate depend on Gas from a Shell facility there. [/color]

BlueRayDick:
I get, but u see that guy in his tweet is lamenting because nobody is prepared for that sudden jump in their expense.

[color=royalblue]The thing is just crazy.
[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Okay fair point. I was thinking generally about people that don't have the generators before now.

But even if they disconnect from Discos and opt to rely on generating set 24/7, I don't think their generator will work round the clock. They may have to get a second generator as backup. Also the cost of fueling may not reach 40m but it will certainly go higher than the current N14m

[color=royalblue]Which for me, is obviously better than dashing these people 40 million.

Tomorrow, grid will collapse for 4 days, and they will leave you in complete darkness, yet your estimated billing is like constant K[/color]

BlueRayDick:
U didn't factor in the cost of a generating plant that will be genrating the alternative to Disco's power for u. Those Perkings Generating set are freaking expensive now

[color=royalblue]They already have a generating set.

Is there any hotel, bank, mall, that Disco is providing power 24/7?

Let them channel their 40 million into their standby generator, than paying Disco, and still budgeting for that same generator.[/color]

larride:
Correct one. Discos wan dey make money where they no sow. I dont even know how they come about that tariff. How can you increase tariff from 66/Kwh to 225/kwh just like that at once.

Both Adelabu, NERC, NBET and the entire discos dey mad.

Adelabu should never have been appointed Power Minister. A walking weakling.

[color=royalblue]With the inadequate power we generate currently, let them give each household prepaid meters, and let me see which Disco will declare profit in 6 months.

It is the Estimated billing customers that they plan to chop anyhow with this nonsense.

Suddenly, almost all Nigerian household dey enjoy 20 hours a day.

Na Nigerians fck up. We suppose collect that prepaid from the start.[/color]

[color=royalblue]If the new tarriff is a rip off (which it is), then people should disconnect themselves from the Discos.

I will pay 14 million for less than 24 hours monthly, and then I will now pay 40 million for the same?

40,000,000÷1500 = 26,000 litres
26,000÷30 = 800 litres per day

Isn't this better than 40 million of nothing?

And Nigerians are the biggest losers. We were supposed to have hit the streets back then, demanding for prepaid meters 100%, but some people thought they were smart by using more appliances on estimated billings.

Discos were not supposed to collect 1 naira on estimated billings, but ensure everybody has the prepaid meters.

I really feel for people on Estimated billings..Na Pepper and Atarodo una go see.[/color]
