₦airaland Forum

I hope you also investigate the Nigerian agents who caused all these by making sure the Indians make all employments through them and original salaries paid are slashed making the workers end up with the peanuts. Ask Kimberly Clark that has shut down how much they originally wanted to pay factory floor workers and what Nigerian agents did

nairalanda1:
Estimated billing happens because a large percentage of people don't pay for power.

So discos essentially rip off some consumers who do pay via estimated billing to survive financially

Metering is happening though..my.local disco is rolling out meters well well

nobody will pay for power if they can avoid it without consequences na, that's why I said share these meters. When Fashola was minister, the first two states he rolled out meters in was Lagos and Sokoto. Now, imagine he did same in 34 other states and Abuja at once, what do you think the impact would be ? The issue here is that the local nepa offices are reluctant to distribute these meters and deduct gradual amounts from payments as directed by the FG as against outright payments that they prefer besides, why hurry when they make more slush funds without receipts from estimated billing ?

uchennamani:
Lol. You no even understand wetin dey happen. It is not about billing whether it is metered or estimated, it is about the cost of power.

and they make their money from consumers who pay through bills. The koko of everything is bills at the end of the day. I don't want to get into that corruption riddled subsidy regime

SmartPolician:
Discos are hoarding prepaid metres because they use postpaid billings to make up for huge losses they incur through energy losses due obsolete distribution infrastructure and theft from bypassed metres.

The bigger problem with today's Discos is that they are mostly owned by politically exposed people and their goons. That's why they are not serious about taking steps to make that business profitable.

In summary, prepaid metre cannot totally solve the problem. I have proposed that instead of having one disco for a state or region, it should be further unbundled so that every LGA will have a disco. That way, the owners can properly monitor power distribution to ensure that consumers are paying, they can upgrade obsolete distribution lines and that they have enough returns to buy more energy.

first bolded, there's a new type of meter being rolled out for some years now that automatically trips off once you try tampering with it. DISCO's should stop hoarding those meters because it's surely against the law that establishes them and I would as president have forfeited their licences fast.

DISCO's say they are owed 5 trillion naira, let's say they successfully push out 30 million meters with an average family spending 50k on recharge a month, isn't that 1.5 trillion and counting ? If we're honest with our accounting, everything can be cleared within a year or two and I believe president Tinubu has to personally put his feet down on this to save Nigerians

The matter is very simple, roll out prepaid meters massively so that estimated billing which most nepa officials use to line their pockets will be brought to its barest minimum. You have a situation where meters sit in store houses for years but they refuse distribution and gradual payments even with FG directives because of the criminality in that system. Do the right thing and see if your money will not come out

Just a question, what concerns the army with a purely police/EFCC operation ? Correct me if I'm wrong but I doubt their purview includes these sort of arrests

The funny thing is that they've already set a precedent by having Trump arrested and tried so, no one can claim immunity this time. We told ya it was a hoax from day one

He should have just renamed the state government house after him or at least a major hospital instead of this. Tai Solarin doesn't deserve this humiliation but wetin concern me

archbishop007:
And that same democracy doesn't support others to do whatever they want?

do as you wish but accept the consequences

ThatOndoBoi:
True. But then, do you rap? why are you Killah Priest, are you a fan of Walter Reed?

I rapped back in the day at surulere, Killah Priest's album View From Masada stays etched in my head

They will call the innocent young man an omo ale even though democracy grants him the right to join or support any political party

atilla:
Ghana must goal. Nice one

make them no try jollof competition . Our jollof will beat them wella

bros, na lie. Forget patriotism, Ghana jollof is better walahi

Tell her you're ready to meet her parents by month end for informal introductions so that by second week of August, your family can come for the list and marriage preparations can begin proper. It maybe she has seen signs of slackness in you and doesn't want to wear bangle for ten years thereby blocking serious opportunities. The onus is on you to stop wasting time but if after the visits her attitude doesn't change then, you're free to do as you wish because it's better to have a canceled marriage than a hellish one

agentNija:
Imagine accusing one of such thing , just because he wants to make money? And you know how Nigerians sees people with HIV.

I watched that video and wondered if this gut doesn't have sensible friends around to warn of the consequences. Anyways, she and the others don't have to prove anything, na court straight at least there's a rejigged social media law in place now

I fully support her on this, some of these content creators need to be taught a very bitter lesson

muyico:
Wow! Despite her ages, Ojukwu work for this woman,dat is weytinz she dey chop now! U better be part of politics?? Stop saying is a dirty games, if u can knw wot dis woman is earnings as ambassador,Omo?? U go faint

Ojukwu worked for the woman agreed but do you know who her father is ?

naijapips02:
And the number of drunks it has churned out too?

let's also compare the number of drunks Lagos state produces with Nigerian Breweries and Guiness alone. Let's not also forget the state that hosts Action Bitters company and other satchet alcoholic beverages. You shouldn't throw stones in glass houses while trying to be smart but one advice I have for you is to ask your assembly members to chase away all alcoholic beverage companies in the SW so we can take you seriously. Shalom

Jostoman:
I said something last time in one of the thread on this Nairaland that if I were to be a prominent political figure in the country or celebrities from opposition I will be very careful with what I eat and drink from now till after 2027 election.

even shaking hands is dangerous when you get to a certain level

franchasng:
If truly you are Ijaw, you ought to be supporting anything Igbo.


Igbos stood solidly behind Goodluck Jonathan an Ijaw man throughout till tomorrow. Because of Goodluck Jonathan, Igbos were declared number 1 enemies of the Nigerian state and Southeast got fully militarized and invaded till today.


When I see Ijaw people like you work against Igbos, I just shake my head in disbelief and pity for them

ignore this deranged human being, he doesn't speak for us Ijaw at all

God abeg o Chai !!! Chai !!! Chai !!!
This is Nigerian politics sha where integrity is never an important prerequisite

Soludo made me laugh and cry at the same time. Was this man truly a former CBN governor ? Such a disgraceful shame

I don't know why wild animals are mentioning me walahi

Have you spent 40k a month just to but tanker water before ? This is apart from your drinking water because you just can't drill an ordinary borehole in places like Lekki without installing very expensive treatment plants. Anyways, I blame the Lagos state government for the mess such a highbrow axis is going through and it will only get worse

Lionessza6:
Scream jealousy all you want but at the end of the day ,if you want to be on top of anything you'll have to work your way up.

If you deserved a BRICS or G20 seat before SA then why didn't the other founding members give it to you instead of SA . You think you can lord over everyone like you tried in Ecowas and still failed ? .

We are the ones jealous of you yet you're the ones lamenting over being left behind by SA ? . You were up in arms because we had a team in the world cup recently...but did we stop you from competing ?
This is sick

please just leave this one for us, he's suffering from mental injury. Anytime their political party in power messes up, they look for distracting topics meanwhile they're the ones who dragged Nigeria's economy backward to a devastated wartime economy within ten short years

There's a Mafia vs Aiye confra war taking place in Edo state right now and all reports concerning killings in that state recently point to that war. The governor hasn't said anything apart from blaming Obi for a matter that doesn't concern him instead of taking the initiative of donating monies to other schools or upgrading their infrastructure at once so his political enemies won't "disgrace" him again. Edo state really fell off by voting in this crass and uncouth fellow

Racheal45:
Don't look stuff one way
The gov was trying to say as a VIP he should Inform him before visiting so he could protect him and assure him of his security
Try to understand

una no go defend and do damage control ke ? Pretending as if we didn't watch that shameful video

Putindbutt:
I no dey understand this man at all, he loves attention sooo much. Noticed he was the one tweeting about this?. Must you always carry camera around when you want to do your donations and then by himself announces the donations on social media, for what exactly?, politics!. Little wonder he was chased out of Benue.
And this same man will tell you he no dey give shishi but would ask his followers to donate money for his birthday, OMG!. Then again, as election approaches, he'd begin to put out different account numbers to collect donations from his struggling supporters who dey hustle, yet he and his team have failed to account for the donations they received during the last election, everyone was pointing accusing finger at each other. Funny enough, there was no LP agents in over 15,000 polling units because of lack of funds, yet this man refused to release his personal money. But he's going about bribing institutions for votes in the name of donations but when it comes to primaries and election campaign, he would say he doesn't have money.
There's no bigger hypocrite than Obi.

e pain am

Those who have neither seen 200m or even 2m in their accounts talk less of having a plot of land in Abuja will still come out to defend instead of asking pertinent questions. Una go dey alright las las
