Some of these fools online, need to be taught a brutal lesson. This itself is an admission of the offence. Bassey needs to strike with unapologetic, brute force, with no aiota of mercy. A scary message needs to be sent to the public and that must be the bearer of that message.

They said the same thing during Buhari and increased tariffs about three times I think. Yet no improvement anywhere. The solution to our power problem is simple. Meter everyone! These guys are making killing from estimated billing. Free monies that they're not willing to let go.

NB: USD was about N216 at the time.

Nigerians are proud to have TINUBU as president

Sheuns:
Only in Nigeria will service providers increase price of service they abysmally render so they can get more funds to render better services.

Same way they said if we remove petrol subsidy there will be more money to go round. The reverse is the case.

Once I'm able to install my solar setup, I'll go completely off the grid.

This argument is Arrant Nonsense and a Slap on the Populace!
It's high time we ask our Leaders to Accounts for even the ones they are having in their hands!
• How Much do DISCOS Collect as Revenue Per Month?
• How much do Each DISCOS collect per Year and How do they Spend it?
• How much of the Transformer(s) do you Purchase and Distributed and how much of the Pre-paid Meters - have you Purchased and Distributed?
• How much have you received on the Pre - paid Meters by each DISCOS.
You will observed that - they can't faithfully answer those questions because of Corruption!
The Power Minister,who also brought out Power -bank to charge in our presence - have been drawing this narrative since he came,with the worst performance,so far!
He came from the Banking background and is he saying that you priced a bad Products by increasing the Price,in other to sell it?
Since NEPA metamorphosed into different DISCOS,what have been there Performance?
He recently went to Ikorodu -and instead of holding Conference with the Public,to know how Ikeja DISCOS have been performing,he rather chose to talk to Egbin Management that Ikorodu People,have not been enjoying Stable Lights - since the same Minister told Nigerians that ' Subsidies On Light is going to be withdrawn '.
1- How much have you collected on Oil Subsidies?
2- Can we see the Monthly Revenue Collection on the Oil Subsidies?
3- How much have you spent on the Refineries?
4- Do we have any Functional Refineries working now,after so much Promises by NNPC?
You don't use illegal means of collecting Revenue to support a drowning equipment,where those running it are very Corrupt,for Corruption has finished both GENCO and DISCOS.
For the Unions,Nigerians don't Trust them,for they are only after their Monthly Dues are threatened,as they took are very Corrupt?
I blame GEJ - who was playing Politics by choosing those who failed in Govt and their Footsoldiers to buy the DISCOS because,he was thinking of coming back to govt - that is lack of Patriotism we are talking about!
That is why they all sidelines the General Electric and other Professionals in Power Production -at the onset!
Now ,here we are,as nothing is working in this Power Sector,in 21St Century!
Shame to all those that brought Nigeria down, including Past Govts!

stepaside1:
This only affects band A customers who can pay because it is still cheaper than running generators. Majority of the masses are not affected. What should be done is holding these discos to account so they can deliver more power to homes and businesses.

usmanktg2:
I used to be amongst the strong critics of these technocrats. I was opprtuned to be in one meeting with one of the DGs, he opened up his Organisation's problems openly for us to crack a better solution... Omo... Our brain almost shutdown. From that day, I no dey chuck mouth anyhow on Government affairs... Believe it or not, we have the best hands in some MDAs.
Let's not use Government's lackluster spendings and policy implementation wahala to paint all technocrats black.

MrBrownJay1:
again, the minute that flight was cancelled at 11pm, thats when he should have looked for alternatives...rather than listen to yeye airlines and their BS stories.... any smart man knows that unless you have a boarding pass with a seat number, you are NEVER confirmed to fly anywhere.

Cromagnon:
can it be available if you refuse to pay for it

SK1SOLA:
New sheriff is in town...no more business as usual

Winning123:
Do you buy a litre of bottled water for N1300 in Nigeria which is over $1 in the US. I honestly don't know how many of you think.

aieromon:
How can it be available when a nation of 200 million people is still struggling to produce 12GW?

The sector requires massive investment on infrastructure and these investors will not enter an industry where the Nigerian state will sell cheap electricity to its people.

Read up on NESCO in Jos and Ossiomo in Benin. Their clients pay premium to enjoy 24/7 light.

"If you say that homosexuality is right because it is carried out by consenting adults... "

You were effectively putting words into my mouth here, I never said what you accused me of and you went further to query me based on it.

aswani:
You haven't treated it as fact

aswani:
It isn't a simple yes or no question like I said earlier.

As we've seen, the wrong answer I give will deflect from my opinion about the original issue of child abuse viz a viz homosexuality

aswani:
You haven't treated it as fact

aswani:
.... but have stated it effectively as fact. You see now.

aieromon:
Let's look at the facts on ground.

House 1
Power load = 2000W
Average of 20hrs/day gives 600 hours in a 30 day calendar month.
Power consumption = 2kW * 600h = 1200kWh
Cost of power consumed = ₦225 * 1200 = ₦270,000

House 2
Power load = 2000W
Power is generated using a 2.5 kVA petrol generator. Running wattage is 2000W.
Fuel efficiency = 1.1litres/hour (15 litres in 14 hours at 50% load - generator will consume more if we increase the load but let us stick with this for the purpose of this comparison)
For House 2 to generate 600hrs in a month requires 660L of PMS.
At ₦560/litre, House 2 will spend a sum of ₦369,600 in an attempt to replicate power supply from DISCOs. Maintenance cost has not been factored in these calculations.



A lot of small scale businesses spend up to ₦178,000 monthly running petrol generators.

Power is not cheap!

If I were Nathaniel Bassey and I know from the depth of my heart my hands are clean over the matter, I will laugh over the matter and advice the fellow to go for a DNA test.

AntiChristian:
Band A are those who uses minimum of 20 hours electricity per day! Only the pricing of these people were increased! Many people in band A were downgraded to Band B.

Band B uses minimum of 16 hours electricity per day!

Band C uses minimum of 12 hours daily!

Band D uses a minimum of 8 hours daily!

Band E uses a minimum of 4 hours daily!

ecomalchemistt:
lol , we told you people.

You said na “statistics we go chop”..

Elections have consequences, 7 more years to go.

Brace up oooo !

aswani:
You haven't treated it as fact but you have immediately spawned another question out of it based on your assumption of the answer.

I am not going to answer the question asked on the basis it is being asked because I can see it is fully loaded and is one of those kobojunkie type questions that are meant to lead you down a totally different path from which you intended.

"The consenting adults" aspect of what I said earlier was solely based on a comparison with the sexual interaction of grown men and girls barely out of the early stages of puberty and how the Nigerian society is not as disgusted with that as it seems to be with homosexuality.

If you have any questions that fall completely within the bounds I stated in the last paragraph, I will be happy to answer.

aswani:
.... but have stated it effectively as fact. You see now.

aswani:
This is partly why I was careful with your initial questioning because being a Nigerian, I knew where things would quickly spiral into.

Without me once answering Yes to questions about homosexuality being right, you have not only made the assumption about my answer but have stated it effectively as fact. You see now.

And then to top it all you have immediately transposed my supposed answer about homosexuality to drug taking and started gaslighting me about drugs based on an answer I did not give.

I have spent too long in a Nigerian university common rooms to not identify this style of discussion from far.

Thank God this is online, if it was live, you would have shouted me down and I would have left the place with people thinking I am into homosexuality and drug taking.

aswani:
Una too dey ask difficult complicated questions den dey expect straightforward answers, bikonu.

Is child sexual abuse as not frowned upon by Nigerians and not actively discouraged in Nigeria a much more heinous crime than homosexuality as practised behind closed doors and willingly consented to by all adults taking part in the activity, Y-E-S, yes.

Paramount01:
You mean ham? Don't marry ooo becaue you will spend your last card on them

VinnyBaba:
It is Actually, The cost of Maintaining a Home.😒

Rent
Electricity bills.
GOTV
Gas
Diaper
School fees.
Etc.😟

Young Men should be very Financially Ready before going into Marriage,
because in Africa, All Responsibility is for the Man.

Woman own na to Born pickin and Nurture.

aswani:
In the context of what I posted that spawned the question as well as this thread the question is being asked in, that is certainly not a Yes or No question.

I have not at any point posted my views on the rights and wrongs of Homosexuality in this thread so why exactly does anyone need to know them that warrants it being repeatedly requested?
