Gentlelife50:That's how he is, @nairalanda1 is a deluded Nigerian. |
nairalanda1:You clearly don't know anything about running a business. According to you a good majority of users, don't pay cost reflective tariffs, no thanks to the government stopping DisCos from implementing a 1 cap fits all true cost reflective tariffs pricing system. But are those already paying same cost reflective tariffs getting what they are paying for? As a band A user I pay cost reflective tariff of #209.50 per unit, a band E user pays #40.50 but neither me, nor the Band E user is getting what we pay for. And the person we are paying to is busy complaining that he is not even getting anything out of the business, but ogbeni refused to close the shop even though he is running at loss according to him. If as a business owner you are not making profits due to a good majority of your customers not paying the supposed cost for the service you're rendering, what stops you from prioritising those customers that pay your proposed price for your service? Why not improve and maintain the quality of your service to your profitable customers? Such an act can even bring in more high paying customers. If I wanted cheap electricity should I be performing the core duties of DisCos? That's childish of you I must say. Power is not cheap that's a fact. The man fueling his generator for electricity, is even spending more money than a band A user paying #209.50 for 1 unit of electricity. Last night my neighbour bought 10k fuel just to power his refrigerator, fans, and few other household electrical appliances, as I write this, his generator's fuel tank is empty, but from last night till this very moment there is still power in my apartment and I'm yet to even spend 5k on same electric appliances. If the true cost reflective tariff is #231.79/kWh, a band A user is paying #209.50, while the government pays the remaining #22.29 should same band A user be erecting poles, buying meters, buying transformers and cables for DisCos? In my area in Delta state, so many people are ready to join band A but they can"t due to the high connection cost. A private business man bought electric poles, wires, transformers, and connected the Band A lines from BEDC's office to his residence. He then charges whoever that wants to connect the light 1M naira. That high connection cost is what people can't afford, what then is the core functionalities of an electric distribution company if you can't even distribute same electricity to your customers? A private business is now doing it and extorting others for it. Is the distribution company not failing woefully here? You want to collect cost reflective tariff for electricity, but you can't even bring same electricity to those that need it. This shouldn't be too hard for he who is not a kid to understand should it? |
nairalanda1:So because there are only 20% customers who pay in full gives DISCOS the moral justification to steal from those same 20% customers that are paying in full? Telecoms companies invested billions of $ when they started even though their users base was still very low then due to high service cost, but they first took the risk of investing heavily into their business, unlike DISCOS that are ready to invest a few millions, but wants to reap billions. Your argument of government not giving DISCOS the freedom to control true service cost doesn't hold water, because the government still play a crucial role to these DISCOS, and the monopoly they enjoy is not there in the telecoms sector. Government still provided needed infrastructure for these lazy and greedy DISCOS. The government evacuates power from GenCos via huge steel towers and high tension lines which were installed and still being maintained by same government, stepping same power down at regional substations, from which DisCos want to make all the gains in the world by stealing from paying customers. As a resident in Edo or Delta state, your only access to connect through to the nation grid is through BEDC, there are no any other options True/False? Is there any monopoly of sort in the telecoms sector? Do you really think if DisCos are ready to invest in improving their services, and outreach they won't get more than enough customers who are ready to pay cost reflective tariffs? |
nairalanda1:Some band A customers funded the acquisition of electric poles, cables, transformers, and payments for disco staffs that installed these items. They bought their own meters too, and are ready to pay a cost reflective tariff of #209.50. Even after all these, these DISCOS wants these same customers to pay their bills to them without any sort of compensation, all in the excuse of "Abeg Una sorry oh, we no get enough customers wey they pay cost reflective tariff, for this light, and government no allow us to fix prize for this light". Does it makes sense to you 1 bit? I no dey make profit from the business, that na why I no fit invest inside, Ogbeni dem put gun for your head say you must do the business? |
Love800:Yes, starlink is an internet connection network on its own using satellites instead of network mast unlike Airtel, Glo, MTN. The only difference is Glo, Airtel, MTN offers both cellular networking (make phone call, send SMS, etc) , and internet connections through SIM cards, and network masts. Starlink is internet connection focused and does that very well using satellites. Starlink is to internet connection what DSTV is to cable TV subscription. Airtel Outdoor Unit (ODU) is more like a router, that has an outdoor unit which is connected outside your room for a better signal quality and strength, when fully charged it can last up to 3+ hours. Both ODU and starlink need reliable, and stable electricity. |
ddippset:A gun can save a life, same gun can take a life, context matters, the context here is politically aligning with your opponents just to get what you want. That shouldn't be too difficult to understand, should it? |
fineboynl:As in big paint rubber or normal custard cup equivalent? If the former still very cheap, if the latter it still favours the buyer, farming no be small pikin play. |
Wike the Asiwaju of rivers state politics, good or bad, give it to this Wike of a man. Politically, the man surely knows how to get what he wants. |
Colourful at least bottling mode deactivated this time around. My neighbour wey promise 1 he goat should Arsenal win champions league don run from house since yesterday. Ogbeni dey form sickness for phone 😆 😆. |
Currently managing this untill I switch to starlink, since Glo, MTN, Airtel for my area don join my village people "we must frustrate him" night meeting. |
Sponsored 4 people in Bayelsa for their driving licence, 2 years after they are yet to get their plastic cards. Went to their office I was shocked to find over 50 people complaining of same thing. |
Make Una ready military and police to take go meet people for their house to retrieve Ur batteries. Else na sorry be Ur name, you will only end up indirectly using Ur batteries to do give away. |
Ogbeni so you no fit sharap and allow the video play? |
If periwinkles no dey the soup, that soup no complete. |
Douye Diri weytin come happen to the gass turbine commissioned by PBAT? My guys say no light for BY till now, the project na audio? |
Sunkin kee you there. Anybody that falls for such a lazy and cheap scam deserves serious mass beating to put his brains back to default factory settings. |
HacheNoire:

Given your service description, you are a kettle calling a pot black. Your own profits is even guaranteed more than that of the greedy bookmakers. |
Remove Ur SIM cards, vex use the phone stone wall case solved shikena!!! |
We need this in Nigeria, Na how to sing on Ur mandate we stand, and share free money na dem Akpabio sabi. |
Even after all these una parents, uncles, and aunty's go still allow their voting decisions to be influenced with cups of rice, corns, and strains of spaghetti. |
T9ksy:Who open cage for this one? Ogbeni crawl back into your hole. |
Good or bad, people will always talk. |
Counterigbolies:So to u anyone that doesn't support Tinubu, is automatically an Obi supporter? See how you are wasting the power of the brain, see how you cage the innocent brain. Did you even read the content of this very thread? |
They will always defend their oppressors because their sense of reasoning has been beclouded one of tribal, religious, stomach infrastructure sentiments. Suffering and smiling is now considered a normal way of life to them. One clear example of stomach infrastructure victim is Mr Daniel, I never said that, Bwala. |
Dis one done finally pick village people call. Instead of exploring better options of voicing out your grievances to your seniors, you go allow village people use you. |
This rat and cockroach show me pepper and embarrassed me during the the nations cup match of Nigeria Vs Dr Congo. While me and my neighbours were watching the match on my TV, these rats were displaying their running skills to us one on one. The next day I declared war on them. Sent my kids and wifey to her mum's house for a weekend holiday, and me and them beging fight 3 days war, wey strong pass US vs Iran own. The first stage of the war na with these rats, after constant chasing wey make me almost fall break my teeth, I killed 3 and discovered an opening deep down my kitchen cabinet. I drop roasted fish mixed with one powder in a red sachet around the opening and under the kitchen cabinet. The thing scent eh!! I even almost tasted it 😆 😆. After about 3 hours I poured boiled hot water in the opening and sealed it with cement. Till date I'm yet to see a single rat anywhere around my house. I sprinkled the powder around the kitchen cabinet and corners of my house, for 2 days i begin pack cockroach like sand for kitchen. Till this date, rats and cockroach no near my house again. The next war go soon start, that na with wall geckos, disturbing my windows and veranda with their insect hunting once I put on my outside light at night. That rat can chew almost anything, If them give am chance him go even chew iron, very stubborn and cunning rat, big dem no dey gree big. |
