The Discos aren't charging you for the real price that will ordinarily cover for the cost of the production of the "little" electricity you enjoyed.

They charge you for a %, the government covers the rest.

DontBullshitMe:
Do you know presently, electricity is still being partially subsidised? They promised to stop in December but I doubt it.

FG pays billions of naira yearly so that electricity tariffs are lower than the actual price. Hear that. But you want 24/7 power supply when you can't even pay for the little they generate without Government intervention.

Nigerians want a Capitalist result on a Socialist plan.

GloriousGbola:
it is starting

i was at the ekedp office on friday a week ago. people were very agitated - 200-300% increase in bill

nihilistjnr:
This is my bill for December.

, calculate this in Naira.

nihilistjnr:
Name a neighbouring country that fits your profile and doesn't have it's energy costs heavily subsidised by it's government.

GloriousGbola:
Sincerely I suspect someone in the team was running wayo.

They will oversize the gen so they can chop money, then inflate the diesel use so they can chop further.

There is a company that introduced automated tank gauging for diesel storage. You had a real time online report on your diesel use. A lot of facilities officers got into serious trouble after their companies adopted the solutions

GloriousGbola:
Our electric bills will be manageable if we face reality. My house is full of fans. I have conditioned myself not to use ACs.

Air conditioning is the biggest energy cost for any domestic or commercial dwelling.

iamoyindamola:
I am saying if they bring the actual price of electricity and there is 24-hour electricity
People will pay I can assure you, if only you know the length we go through to have solar, generator etc

nihilistjnr:
Government really should not be involved in running the power sector. That sector should be fully deregulated.
The main problem is that Nigerians cannot afford power if they had to pay actual price.
Here in the UK, it came out last week that energy companies were breaking into their customer's houses to forcibly install prepayment meters, due to the large number of defaults on energy payments

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/british-gas-prepayment-meter-debt-energy-bills-investigation-wrgnzt6xs

This is why FG is still involved in a sector that it cannot hope to realistically manage - to try and keep prices down for customers. Even at that FG is struggling to pay Power Generation companies - as at November, FG was owing 1.6 TRILLION naira to GenCos

If FG should deregulate the sector in it's entirety, power issues would probably be completely fixed within 4-5 years...but when you have to pay 100k monthly electric bill, can you cope?

raumdeuter:
Will you invest in power generation in Nigeria? Since it's mostly private sector driven in most countries

raumdeuter:
That's just one side to it cos all these will be ineffective if you keep growing at almost 1m per day

People wey dem condom dey burst like izzou and those who don't like birth control will be like punching holes in the bucket you are filling

Donjazet2:
See as this life dey. I opened Twitter and this was the very first thing I saw.

Disstroy I know that this issue is being disagreed with because of the messenger, because I am the one saying it and people here feel I have flogged it to death but that doesn't take away from the truth. I keep sounding it, that tinubu and his supporters are going full blown tribal. It is what it is.

This is hundeyin a yoruba guy, highlighting this same problem of narratives.
Please read this carefully.

Evidence from 2019 elections attack towards igbo dominated settlement is littered on the Internet.

You say someone should not be emotional like a woman about issues that basically involves lives.

You think these conversations are plucked out from thin air.

You think the people around igbo dominated regions in Lagos state do not fear the possibility of attacks during this elections.


You are talking about Igbos getting posts in Lagos.. Please remind me when votes in Lagos state really started becoming a do or die affair for a national party.
You have tinubu who stepped into national politics in 2015 from a place of proper influence and you think he will not ensure that Lagos delivers for apc coz of optics.
Lool.. See abeg let me face God today🙏

Those attacks coincided with the introduction of tinubu into national politics.
Before then what was the importance of tinubu delivering Lagos.. Did he belong to any major party? Why una dey talk like say to reason realistically dey difficult.

raumdeuter:
We must deliver Lagos from the shackles of Tinubu

seankafor:
bro knowledge Is scarce..

Do you know I can't remember last I went to post

When I go to buy fuel, I always transfer excess and collect the remaining change in cash..

.. it's that easy

pocohantas:
Izzou’s role model.

obainojazz:
and co should swallow pride and come out like this

We’ve never been this bad

TrebleChamp:
Had Tinubu not complained about this policy last week, this APC/Buhari supporters lamenting now would have been singing praises of this same policy. They would even show us examples of countries that implemented such policy, like they usually do whenever we criticise Buhari/APC...

BlueRayDick:
U dey mind dem?

Instead of tending unreserved apologies to Nigerians for the hardship of the past 8 years under APC rule, they are pointing at imaginary Cabals and still campaigning for Buhari promax in the person of Tinubu. 🤨

afrodoc2:
E shock you?

Donjazet2:
That there are very successful Igbo people in Lagos, (right from time) does not mean that that there is not a present danger looming or rather hateful narratives being groomed.

What I see here is you playing the ostrich, that is burying your head in sand to pretend not to be aware of what is happening around you..

Tinubu's wife said, we no trust you igbos again.
A hardcore tinubu supporter here has a solid history of haunting Igbo people online.

Mc oluomo came out to blame Igbo people for spreading fake news when it was revealed transporters were being forced to pay for tinubu paraphernalia.

I could go on and on to show you a pattern of tribal brewing but of course you would keep diverting.
What if I showed you other Yoruba people kicking against tinubu's tribal politics, what would you say?
