People who have held top management positions in large organisations tend to be more conservative in their criticisms of the decisions being taken by current administration.

I don't understand your point but I must say that this administration is heading towards the wrong destination with all these terrible economic policies that's yielding negative outcome

Badmashiii:
If this government doesn't benefit none tinubu would have been out in less than a year.

A president will always make decisions for a group of powerful people to ensure a smooth regime and the certainty of victory in his next term.

However,his policies are really unfavourable to the masses.

Trust me, the signs, the complaints on social media and now on the streets is worrisome. I fear civil unrests, breakdown of law and order is imminent

BABANGBALI:
have you ever heard of the world betrayal before? I don't think so.

It is still part of it, though very remote coz I believe that he's taking care of them

Iceberg3:
bros please be a good citizen and shut up and go and look for Igbos to blame and attack as usual:

What's my business with igbos? Nigeria is bigger than one ethnic tribe and it is not a must that my values, views and wants should align with yours. When you understand this simple thing, you will be less aggressive and your feelings won't get hurt anymore

chopnaira:
To those calling for coup, it's not gonna happen. Nigeria is no longer in the 1980s.

Coup may not happen because the president has put his loyalists in key positions in the military but civil unrest is unavoidable if he continues making life difficult for the masses but keeps rewarding himself and others in power with billions of naira

Guestlander:
Not really. Because as you can see, all the beautiful, well managed countries you like to run to were built by aliens from Mars.

This is not a direction that will lead to a positive outcome.

They did it by first recognizing themselves not as maggots and flies and certainly not as animals in a zoo.

Yeah! You have a point there. But our leaders can be tagged as animals, worst of animals

thesicilian:
We have a democratically elected government in place. Any emergency lover of the nation who attempts a coup must make sure he succeeds. Otherwise it shall be worse for him and his family than it was for Sodom and Gomorrah.

Well, I was against any anti democracy calls or movement till February this year. But right now, any call or movement is welcomed.
Mind you, I and my family voted for Tinubu. He's an insensitive prick, a disaster promax who never listen to the cry of the masses

Whether you accept it or not, you guys should realise that things are not gonna remain the same way unless you tell the president to address the hardship he created. He should run people's oriented goverment instead of this money making government that doesn't benefits the masses

Electricity is different because the electricity act of 2023 signed allows anyone to generate, transmit and distribute electricity as long as they are registered with the government. If I install a solar farm and start generating 5MW, I can sell it directly to consumers without going through the grid. Although, grid will help me save cost of getting it to you because they already have infrastructures on ground.

I will invest in solar farms only if I get my money back. Imagine more of me in the market, obviously, price will come down. Also, I’m not dependent on gas or coal, so my overheads will be lower.

I won’t want a situation where I go bank, borrow money to build solar farms, only for my customers not be able to pay, hence why gov should install meters and punish electricity theft.

Electricity generation, transmission and distribution is capital intensive most especially when you're in for commercial purpose. It is a different ballgame when you want to generate what you only will consume such as Dangote companies, BUA, Redeem church. So going into it for commercial reason is not as simple as you think.
And no matter the law, Nigerians will always find a way around it. There won't be competition at all

erad:
I don't have strength for ignorant arguments.
Believe whatever you like.

This shows that you never passed through university. Not the first time ignorant poly graduates would vomit such statement. People like you always have this mindset until you pass through the university.

yesloaded:
This is a sign of a failed society where there's no mortgage facilities

The rate at which we sell land anyhow in this country makes me laugh

If things are well.structured, the person who built this house will afford well completed 2bdr & parlour mortgage house. Instead of only him owing a full plot of land, the said plot of land can easily contain 12 units of 2bdr flat with 3 units on each floor. By so doing, large parcel of land will be preserved and there will be no need for anybody going deep bush to build house. Building a house inside thick forest should not be celebrated but I don't blame some of the people building houses inside forest because these days, caretakers parading themselves as estate agent are very wicked, a house that landlord gave them to let out at the rate of 400k over year they will inflate the price to 600k per year & total package will be 900k per year whereas with 400k per annum, total package supposed to be 480k naira only


Government failure

Greediness of estate agent

Mentality that anybody who's yet to build house is a failure

These are the 3 factors that contributing to people building this kind of houses

A residential building is not supposed to be far from healthcare centres, police stations etc

You made a valid contribution and great points. The number three point always irritate me. This is what is making people go deep into the forest to build a single room apartment with no protection and in an unsafe environment and start living there. No more nearby land to farm anymore.

erad:
You thought you ate, right?

Polytechnic graduates are practically way more efficient than university graduates in engineering and construction fields.

Ask the employers.

Dey play. Same way technical college graduates are better than poly graduates in engineering and construction

They didn't consider wind or storm in the roofing plan

FreeStuffsNG:
He will face the full wrath of the law. Shikena.

DSS na your mate? Smh.

Even Russia has dissociated itself from anything about Nigeria's fuel subsidy removal etc.

This is why it's important to understand that this protest was largely organised and funded by unpatriotic elements, anti-state actors and those still embittered at their defeat and defeat of the mediocre candidates they supported during last year's Presidential election won by President Bola Tinubu as the democratic choice of patriotic Nigerians.

All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. God bless Nigeria for ever!

You are wailing and no one is interested in your tears

Coolestguy2023:
PBAT should just declare a state of emergency in Kano and Kaduna make soldiers deal with all those illiterates on the street. He should man up and should not give a f about the northerners.
Since it's likely he will not get a second term, he should disintegrate the country make everyone go answer him papa name.
This protest has showns the level of hypocrisy of the northerners and the supposed ally they are is fake and unreliable

You are still thinking like Tinubu is your friend who cares about what you want, lol. Ignorant.

Bacteria8:
But truth be said...

Why didn't the Northerners protest like this during Buhari's 8 years of disaster ??

Because he's their son ? ?

May be you are right. But there is two things now playing out.
One. It was never this bad!
Two. We have gone beyond that sentiment at the moment.

Thewrath:
Na them cause this hardship,let them carry the cross!

Yeah, yeah, yeah! They didn't vote for Obi

Sonnobax15:

Can only happen up north....

But once it's down south,na once their preek go get strong erection to fire trigger

Oya shoot aboki na , whether una go comot there alive? Cowards in uniform

Soldiers kill more northerners than the southerners because there is too much insecurity over there, stop being ignorant like few others like you. This one is a protest and they have their order not shoot at peaceful protesters. How many peaceful protesters have been shot in the south so far? Whereas, about 17 or so protesters that have been killed so far are northerners.

Chasing the shadows. Tinubu should do three things and hardships will magically go down:
One. Open land borders food importation. The world didn't end when PDP opened the borders throughout their tenure. In fact, life was better than this.
Two. Subsdise petrol and diesel for the populace. Because, the money you're claiming that you are saving from subsidy removal, we don't know where it is going. A year now, nothing to show for it.
Three. Stop floating the naira. No country leaves the fate of her currency at the mercy of the market. Definitely, not an import dependent economy like Nigeria. From 400 naira to 1600 naira within a year! That's the major reason why all items are fvcking expensive in the market

Philipponzaghi:
Wawu! DSS dey work o. Na good news to hear say dem recover FG rice wey dem thief. Kudos to the operatives for their sharp eyes. This kind action go help boost food security for our people. Make we continue to support our security agencies!

. Very hilarious comment

The rice that most of them refuse to distribute. Wicked people.

bitsAndpieces:
Educate me, smart man. What would bring price down?

Nothing! That's what I'm trying to tell you. Use cement price for example, look at what happened this year. There is already competition in cement industry but the players still managed to come together and fix arbitrary price for us. They refused to compete among themselves, instead, they came together and had an understanding to keep the price high unjustifiably

SmartPolician:
So the FG is still paying power subsidy? I no understand this country again oh!

I guess they're giving this excuse to justify removing subsidy on the rest of the bands which are band B, C, D. This current wailing means band B, C, D should also brace themselves up for subsidy removal, no more 13.8 units for 1k!

jaxxy:
I told someone if the numbers from the economic reforms are not adding up we are headed for more economic disaster..

They claim to have removed furl subsidy but we are paying subsidy through the back door..

We are taking loans for the wrong purposes and further increasing wastage and no short ot longterm improvement on the economy.

And Mr Tinubu after removing anything removable still wants to raise ways and means bill to 10% from 5%. That's more debt which more economic disaster

Tayorshd87:
Yes na if no subsidy ur bill per month would have been around 50k .

But with subsidy some are paying 7k 10k and yet still fail to pay and yet they will still abuse the government and want the same Nigeria to bcom america someday 🤔

You are talking about metered households or unmetered households because I don't understand your submissions concerning 50k, 7k, 10k? I'm on band A, four units for 1k. Does that look to you like someone who is enjoying electricity subsidy? If I'm to use electricity regularly, my household would be consuming 6 units a day which is N1500. That's 45k per month. We're on ration now since band A palaver started. You may be on subsidy, my household is not

nedu666:
Electricity subsidy jumped from 252 billion to 650 billion in three months. For wetin. Did the mw Increase.

And yet, households under band A, universities, corporate organisations, government houses, etc are groaning under the electricity bills that has increased in three to four folds this year alone. The more you look, the less you see.

bitsAndpieces:
President Tinubu’s administration has borrowed over $2 billion so far on electricity and over $500 million was earmarked for mass metering.

If the government wants to stop paying this costly subsidies, they should metre all the unmetered customers ASAP. You will generate more power and spread the cost across all bands evenly.


Liquidity easily flows to DiScos, so DIScos can pay Gencos for electricity consumed at market rates, without the need for subsidy. Some of the liquidity even get to federal government because they own 40% of Discos, which means more federal budget allocations.

I like that NBET is no more, so Discos will buy what they need directly.

They should also start punishing electricity theft, NASS should pass a law that punishes customers bypassing meters.

We basically need the market to induce more Gencos to produce more power, and that can only happen if they would be profitable doing so.

Also, make TCN a 20,000 MW wheeling capacity national grid, and then privatise it.

Once the market is flooded with Gencos and more Discos, electricity prices will come down.

Electricity business should be a tax generating revenue stream for government, and not something they should be subsiding.

This sector is a low hanging fruit for the president, particularly now that fuel subsidy is gone. They should improve it, and start using it as tax revenues.

Someone here is still being delusional. You haven't leant anything so far

Lol. Na so d lies continue . When I'm currently paying 1k for 4 units. People in my area have stopped leaving their security lights on at night. There would be power supply but everywhere would still be dark at night except for the solar powered street lights

DrTee1:
Thank God!

Bob was UNFAIRLY treated. They scapegoated the poor boy because they didn't understand his style.

Welcome back Bob, our own Mummy of Lagos.

Tension them very well on your return. We are firmly behind you.

That a group of people do not understand the orientation of another person doesn't mean that the person is wrong. We should all live and let live.

But you didn't follow him to court or prison. U wan push am into trouble again?

DevilsEqual:
Una just dey repeat news
I saw this last week and a week before

Na still repetitive comment go follow. Obidients go wail, Tinubu lovers go defend, the rest go curse who no dey do them

That's because the problem is still there! What's the capacity of your brain?

MasterJayJay:
Tinubu is a monumental disaster.

Epic disaster! Failure of a century

felaismyhero:
“The only solution to this problem is for people to return to the farms.

That can't be solution at all, it has never been the solution. We're agrarian society, large percentage of Nigeria population is into agriculture already. You're now suggesting that the solution is everyone becoming a farmer. What will now happen to other sectors of the economy? What any country need is fewer people in agriculture but highly mechanised with hybrid seeds and animals.

If you are not farming and you are not importing food, so, how do you get the food?

This is the question that government should help us answer.

If you are not farming, that means you have your job which fetches you money and you buy what you eat from the farmers/traders.
All people in the metropolitan cities of Lagos, PH, Ibadan, Kano, Kaduna should go back to farm, right? How is that even possible for the people living where there is no land?
