So how else are we going to have light?

If we cannot pay bills because they are too high, the only option left is massive loans or power supply remains poor.

Yeah I get your point. I think the issue is inflation. Electricity companies still have to get their equipment at international prices, hard currency and so must increase charges.
Meanwhile the consumers have had their purchasing power reduced as salaries have not increase commensurate with inflation.
Eg minimum wage was 25k 10 years ago, 5k or $37 nepa bill monthly. Today if monthly min wage is 80k $37 is about N55k
So 10 years ago you used 20% of minimum wage, today you use 68.75% of minimum wage! E no balance.
Inflation has to be brought down to increase purchasing power for citizens while also enabling power companies fund their operations. Reduced inflation with ensure long term low interest rates which will assist power companies raise funds to upgrade their facilities and run capital projects instead of the current 25-30% interest rates that forces power companies to use revenue to fund capital projects.
I heard we are doing 2m barrels per day, fuel, electricity subsidy removed, importation stopped as dangote refinary is on, oil prices have increase to $80+, why then has the naira not appreciated massively?
Anyway, let's be positive and hopeful.

Congrats to her. Once a lady gets to certain age without marriage, the best thing is to carry belle and have kids than to continue waiting for husband that may not come.

Truth of the matter is no large community such as military cantoments, barracks, general hospitals, public universities, secondary and primary schools etc can afford to pay the current electricity tariff. Imagine the ikedc bill for eg ikeja cantoment where you have multitude of personnel with families, offices, facilities. If we can complain we buy 5-10k units a day in our appartments, those places can have bills of as high as 300m monthly.

Just pray to never have cause to undergo such medical treatment, drinks lots of water daily, do not abuse NSAIDS ie panadol, daclofenac general pain medicines, avoid Agbo, cele water/perfumes, reduce carbonated drinks, salt, consume alcohol and cigar moderately.
If unfortunately you do have cause to do such treatment, pray you have enough money to avoid having to go to government medical centers, if not, na wahala you de.

Where dem dey find these kind stones...

Omo, that's over $3m in that dirty sack, meanwhile na from Congo. This is the reason Congo will never know peace, scarch ground there small na different kind precious stones, rare earth, oil, gas, lithium etc every kind thing oyinbo likes, but yet the citizens are poor. Different warlords financed by mining companies, governments etc, everyone wants to control congo, from US cia, France, Spain, Rwanda, South Africa, China etc, them no go gree that country rest.
Seems that is what is happening in northern naija too, illegal mining causing disability sponsored by foreign interest in what is under the ground.

Helicopters are used for arms smuggling and gun runners
Common sight in north east and north west

Make them kukuma ban all helicopter flight in naija as arms smugglers and gun runners de use am in the north East and north west.

Nice one, but who is the consultant, because from experience we know when something is changed suddenly in maija it is an alignment with new interests.

It's everyone's cup of tea. If you prefer public schools send them there, same applies to private ones.

Deal with him well, such people destroy our reputation abroad.

You are clearly not intelligent. Na Dangote comot subsidy?

And you are intelligent?

That is an Airbnb shortlet appartment. That is how most of them operate, self checking.

MrSundry:
That's their headache... When it was all rosy and sweet, the average people never felt the impact. So they should stop bothering us with their drama.

Make una no dey put finger for our nyash...

Who is getting refund, is it ur outlets who load out millions of litres from ur gantry at #890 with receipt OR the motorists and okadians who are buying #500, #1500 to top up the previous #2000 they bought in the morning without a receipt??

No receipt mean say you go explain taya as no evidence.
If you get evidence ie receipt then drive to dangote refinary go get your refund. If by now you no know say all na cruise then sorry ohh..
You go blow 40k fuel from surulere to dangote to get refund of 10k difference, when no be say na sabinus persin be.

Let's Burn her asap. In Islam, they would have amputated one of her hand under sharia law.

I wish the legislative arm of our govt can enact laws that All testimonies be verified and their veracities ascertained.. It is unlawful to deceive the public by dishig out fake and unsubstantiated testimonies.

I've stopped going to church cos of the pastors and these testifiers. The way these guys exaggerate their fake testimonies is really mind boggling

You wan burn persin because e tear lie
Who come bad pass, the lie teller or the burner?

Babamide:
Fraudulent government agencies. Talking as if bvn enrollment only demands photographs. You need phone numbers, fingerprints, NIN and many others.
So there is no fraud here, it is the work of the government and it's agency.

Leave them to be deceiving themselves. Atleast this time they did not say python swallowed the money.

This story no make sense. How do you register bvn without fingerprint?

Very matured statement.

In a sane society the fellow making the video along with his cohorts will be the ones in the dock facing several charges.

We’ve restored Meranda’s security detail — initial withdrawal for audit, says Lagos CP !!!

Audit my foot. You people are making jest of the SW. MERANDA HAS THE NUMBERS:

MERANDA. 36

OBASA. 4

Even Trump knows that Meranda is the Speaker 😁

Now, the Security men may clash in LAHA.

But don't you think based on precedence those other folks would be pressured to fall in line?

CodeTemplar:
if you truly make such money, pay for legit nairaland ads.

Lol.
If you see a Nigerian telling people he has secrets of making money and want to share the knowledge for others to make money with him, run ohh, my bloda run..

Melagros:
COMRADES are speechless, 500k? Yes it's; if you think I typed rubbish here, ask those who are earning 80k, how are they surviving

Oga I really wonder how they survive ohh without side runs. Speaking of 80k, someone I use earns that exact amount where he works, but he does side hustle with me ie freelance, he says without that no way he can survive. Week before last I paid him 55k, 60k, last week 13k, in the last 1 month close to 200k.
That I guess is how people on paltry earning but lucky enough to have side runs survive.

Namaster:
Although inflation has ERODED the value of money.

But if you go broke few DAYS after receiving #552k, the problem is YOU!

Oga If you have enough responsibilities/ running cost you will know 500k last few days.
Petrol, diesel, electricity units alone in a week will consume huge cut from that 500k.

OK, we believe you..

ponlear:
Still not good enough!!
Here’s why:
In 2014 I was an entry level (Management Trainee) staff in one of the commercial banks in Nigeria, I earned 168k per month. USD was N152/$ = I earned $1,105 per month

In 2025 (11 years later) the same graduate trainee will earn N528k per month. USD is N1500/$ = you’d earn $352 per month

For clarity:
A bag of rice in 2014 was 9k, I can buy 18bags and still have change

A bag of rice in 2025 is 80k, you can only buy 6bags and have some change left

So you’ll be the judge to tell if it is good enough or not

You hit the nail on the head.
Over the last 10 years it is just monumental poverty on a scale never seen on earth that Nigerians have been immersed in.
Even the 30k bmc money that was paid to charlatans to act a fool on this forum 2015 was worth $200, today it is barely $20!
