a team inflated its revenue in order to cheat other teams and you are here supporting wickedness. May the judgement of God befall you

If I support dem make God judgement befall me, but if I don't or you no sabi read and comprehend make same judgement befall you.

marlow1962:
But the ones in your country are not collecting, instead they're collecting amnesty, pardon, and call up letter to join the military, while the ones who joined the military to serve are collecting brass everyday.

Not fair o

Dem dey talk about countries, you dey talk about shithole? Being a Nigerian alone is not fair.

potland:
so you support inflating your revenue

Tell AI make him explain my comment to you, like a 5 year old.

potland:
so you support wuruwuru

Support wuruwu like how? You no see weytin FIFA do with USA player for world cup? Not believing something will happen != supporting wuruwu ogbeni you hear?

People like nairalanda1 can't start or run a successful business, even if they inherited one from their parents they always end up bankrupting the business. People pay for Dstv subscription, people pay for Gotv subscription and both show the EPL, but he who has money will opt for Dstv over Gotv due to the video quality. You can access the internet with MTN, Glo, Airtel, and Starlink, he who can afford it will opt for Starlink due to the reliability, and quality of the service rendered.

The government has already set the pace by banding customers, it is left for DisCos to make people run from Band E to Band a and pay cost reflective tarriffs by providing cost reflective service. ABA power plant has already shown a clear example. Provide the service and people will gladly pay for it. I pray make I no get pikin like nairalanda1 wey go inherit and ruin my business.

nairalanda1 let ELIM5 for you by using an illustration.

Imagine a business man who runs a cold room business, he has 10, 150L Skyrun refrigerator each has a rated power input of 125WA. That means to power the refrigerators for 12 hours on Band A he will need to pay a total of #4055 which is a cost reflective tarriffs.

If he uses band E he is supposed to spend around #80 but he will not get even 2 hours of electricity on that band, meaning he will have to spend over #14000 in buying fuel to power his refrigerator, let's not talk about the generator's maintenance cost for now.

Now answer these questions.
If given an option why wouldn't such a business choose Band A over Band E? What do you think is stopping such business from switching to Band A, where he will spend less on reliable power?

nairalanda1 you don't know anything about running business. A business man who wants to receive money for goods he is yet to provide or make available is not yet ready for business. Despite subsidy and government wanting to control electricity prices, the ABA power plant came up, invested heavily, provided cost reflective services and people are gladly paying cost reflective tarriffs to till date. You can't complain of not receiving cost reflective tarriffs, while you are failing to provide cost reflective services, this should be simple for any human above 14 to understand.

nairalanda1 see how you chickened out like a baby. go cry to your mum kiddo.
Tinubu my master? No wonder you dey reason like tata. I'm not a fan of subsidy but the government has already made it easy for DisCos to move more customers to band A. In my city alone almost everybody are ready to move to band A, but Discos can't make that happen because they can't provide prepaid meters, transformer, and electric poles.

Can you please answer these questions
Is the ABA power plant providing cost reflective services?
Are they charging cost reflective tarriffs?
Are her customers paying cost reflective tarriffs?

nairalanda1:
Provide cost reflective service with which money?

You guys really are very amusing.

I'm ending it here.

With which money is the ABA power plant using to provide cost reflective service?
Do you even read your texts before you hit the submit button?

nairalanda1:
Band A Share: Roughly 15% of electricity consumers in Nigeria fall under Band A and pay full cost-reflective rates (ranging from ₦209 to ₦225/kWh depending on the Distribution Company)

Whose responsibility it is to migrate other bands customers to band A?

nairalanda1:
I guess you think that prof Nnaji is lacking knowledge when he calls for a cost reflective tarrif.

Well, good afternoon, my dear wise woman.

Your country needs a cost reflective tarrif to improve power supply..

And I asked you, are those paying cost reflective tariffs to the various DisCos receiving cost reflective services? Provide cost reflective service, and people are more than willing to pay for it. Is the ABA power plant being chaired by same prof Bart Nnaji not charging cost reflective tarriffs, are people not paying for it?

There is Dstv, and there is Gotv both charge cost reflective tarriffs, and people pay for it. There are ISP like, MTN, Glo, Airtel, Starlink they all provide cost reflective services, and people are paying for it. This shouldn't be too hard for an adult to understand.

nairalanda1:
Your abuse does not change the truth.

You don't know the meaning of the word "Truth"

nairalanda1:


And as the old saying goes...

Boring and dry

Heartless people, they should face the full wrath of the law.

nairalanda1:
Aah.

As I thought.

You do need to read more old man

You have a lot to learn kiddo.

The right word should be TOXIC, most Nigerians are very angry, and frustrated, as such at any slight chance dem go wan pour all their anger and frustration on you. Imagine how BEDC frustrate our lives for the past 2 days, a simple good morning sir/ma dey wan cause serious quarrel for my yard.

To wear Man U jersey waka for my street na problem like this. Dem wan laugh me cry. Being a Nigerian and Man U fan na serious punishment currently. Still on still tough times never last, only tough people do, dey bones shall rise again.

BlackViper:
As a Manchester United fan, this the only good news we can look forward to these days.

This news should console us after what happened yesterday when we were humbled by a club which was once owned by Michael Essien's wife.

Man U make me form deaf and dumb hide enter house yesterday, my neighbors wan kee me with mocking, dem say if man u win na either past highlight, or rumors, say man u and winning dey keep serious enemies. Cry hook me for throat.

That aside, honestly I don't think this point deduction of a thing, will happen to Man city. This will shake the football world, and a true test to FA, and the EPL management. The Nigerian in me, they make me believe say, that thing no go happen.

Good one Isreal, every terrorist must collect, to your non existent virgins, you must go.

So na to marry early dem take dey know failed generation? In those days your father's used saw dust cup, firewood, or stove, na only rich men dey train girl children for school then, the only responsibilities women had then was to marry and produce kids. More millionaires are being made in this generation than any one prior. Ogbeni you no sure say you be disgrace to this generation?

Chochocho to talk no dey ever hard una. Why not do this for each state, and deduct the costs from their new owambe FAC that are being looted carelessly? Own electric market kee you there.

Yes oh!! I totally agree with this. I use one uncensored AI fear catch me, when I see how AI dey reason and learn from its own mistakes. Big problem dey come with this AI thing oh, heavy wahala dey come.

nairalanda1:
Most Nigerians are not paying cost reflective tarrifs to DISCOS

Cost reflective tarrifs are around what band A people pay, if not higher. Most nigerians pay way below that. Band A are about 20% of the customer base.

Be guided.

Most of you don't read around the issues we have with electricity, which is why many of you don't know what is going on...government and anti government people.

You are ignorant, and people like you end up being corporate slaves because you don't know how to run a business, or know how running one feels like. Why are Discos failing to migrate more customers to BAND A, if they can reliable provide cost reflective services? Why not make those bands not paying cost reflective tarriffs distasteful for it's users, so that they can migrate to better bands thereby having more customers paying cost reflective tarriffs? Ogbeni use that thing wey dem dey call brain na!!.

nairalanda1:
Well, considering that most consumers do not pay a cost reflective tarrif, any losses made from the majority is going to swallow up losses from the minority.

Many of you guys really do need to read up more.

Ogbeni sharap there, was cost reflective services provided and people refused to pay for it? Were prepaid meters given to customers and same customers refused to accept them? What are those paying cost reflective tarriffs enjoying from it? The average Nigerian is ready to pay cost reflective tarriffs anytime, any day. Stop making childish comments.

Why Nigeria as a country wayward like this?
As band A users, customers procured their own transformers, poles, cables, meters, and paid for installation, they pay cost reflective tarriffs, yet BEDC staffs still get the mind shutdown the national grid, and put people for darkness because say dem dey on strike and regulatory agencies no fit do anything.

That year when public secondary schools were premium. Currently na students with giant rats, and wall geckos dey drag classrooms.

nairalanda1:
Well, nothing a cost reflective tarrif can't fix.

And to those who say otherwise, we paid cost reflective tarrifs to the gsm companies. We have one of the largest gsm.subscriber base in Africa.

But most people are going to quote me to abuse me because most people believe that forcing the electricity sector to run at a loss means that it would work, only if we fought corruption

Anyway, expecting the usual response. Good night

Ogbeni don come again with him carry talk. Did Nigerians not pay cost reflective tarriffs to telecoms companies? Did the Discos provided cost reflective tarriffs and Nigerians failed to pay? Are those paying cost reflective tarriffs, receiving cost reflective services? I can bet my left balls, that if Discos are ready to meter their customers, they are willing to pay cost reflective tarriffs.

The man u first 11 and Carrick himself need serious crowd beating. Weytin be this?

That's how corporate entities steal from Nigerians at will and do whatever they like, no thanks to useless regulatory agencies.

Imagine say BEDC with them staff get internal issue, and these staffs get mind shutdown national grid on people wey dey pay cost reflective tariffs. For over 36 hours now, the whole of Delta and Edo state are in total blackout. To be Nigerian na punishment to mankind.

None of these outweighs insecurity, most of them will be kidnapped, maim, or killed by their father's political opponents, area men, and other scores settling brohaha. You no see weytin dem do NOI mother?

Also most of these kids are over pampered, which makes them very lazy and depressed.My millionaire uncle son smoke Egbo and kolos pass Terry G. That guy nose and mouth pass trailer exhaust pipe. The eldest son was arrested in UK for fraud.

The one with kids in university na she better pass, but she fit be your mama age, and if you try am assault her, you go receive serious beating from her kids.
