That you don't like my answer doesn't mean it wasn't one. Nigeria can't keep squandering scarce resources subsidizing immediate mass consumption at the expense of longer-term development; it's precisely that short-term pandering that has enabled Nigeria to be left in the dust by the likes of South Korea.

Better that a few indigent people lose out for now on cheap (but utterly unreliable) power, than that the entire nation be kept in poverty in the name of "caring for the masses". The right way to solve mass poverty is through higher economic growth, and that requires a massive investment in the power sector that will only happen if investors can cover their costs.

As much I recognized the fact that we are not all equal, the fact still remain that Nigerians should never expect world class services if they are not ready to pay world class prices.

adeomolisabi:
You need to think about the longer term. Reliable power is essential for Nigeria's economy to grow quickly enough to provide better-paying jobs for the masses.

I think the theme of the OP's post is in order.

I once travelled for 3 months last year. On my return, I decided to purchase units for my prepaid meter. I was outraged when I was charged fixed charge for 3 months without any use of energy.

I like the new tariff regime. Just like call units, pay as you go. It is imperative everyone gets a prepaid meter and a policy criminalizing the tampering of the meter to bypass payment.

Power supply has also been consistent. I am willing to support any efforts to maintain and sustain this.

Freegift75:
It's too early to start your day like this. Your write-up really describes the level of your IQ. How can you write something like this believing yourself to be making sense? You are a disappointment to the Nigerian youth

kulikuli26:
This is long overdue. With what I have heard about Dr Baru from friends working in NNPC, I think this is a good decision. Dr Baru's professionalism and integrity earned him this. Feat. I pray God help him deliver base on his competence.

KINGinVAHALA:
e.g sapele road, airport road, etc?

Babe go and look for a job and stop blaming oshiomole for all your misfortunes. Asotime wont pay you.

Have told you before, i hv offices in both akpakpava and forestry road. you can visit me in any of my offices whenever it pleases you. My office at forestry road even need a marketer, so why dont you come and submit your cv? And you knw the good thing here? the both roads where my offices re located are tied with drinages and walk ways in both sides of the roads, and who constructed them?...OSHIOMOLE.

KINGinVAHALA:
I think what she needs is more than medicated glasses. very soon she would blame oshiomole for her inability to get married.

Keneking:
Jonathan handed over dumb private managers to run our electricity distribution in Nigeria

tunshe:
Who told you he's not interested in managing the economy? The oil price has affected a lot of policies and you know we have a new finance minister trying to unravel the mysteries.

Nigeria is complex and it takes time for a change of leadership to make pronounced impact.

tunshe:
You have a point but at this period corruption has plagued Nigeria, hence the need for a personality like PMB.

manmade:
and what name should we call a minister who is not bold enough to mention the senator he is referring to ?

100Cents:
He was openly accused of spending N80m. Which name calling does he want again ? He cant even make sense on twitter.

But so far he is in APC, he is a saint like his brother who opened one website with N76m..

tunshe:
What is opposition?

To attack personalities? No!

So why is Fayose hell-bent on following this trend?

Oh! So that when Ekitigate process starts he can cry witch hunt?

Buhari went for medical check up according to saharareporters and Fayose deem it fit to politicize that?

For records, we know that;

Buhari is old

Buhari may fall sick

Buhari isn't an economist

Yet we voted him to power to fight corruption because at the call of BUHA.... corruption hides

Aufbauh:
I strongly felt bitterly for the people of rivers state for having a clownish personality like Wike as a governor.
He spoke in the church with utter disrespect and disregard for the beloved people of rivers state not minding the sacredness of the church.
I wondered whether he had a formal education as a lawyer or he is a product of a miracle centre. Even in the hight of Fayose's insanity he won't malign his people in the public including the Archbishop in the public glaring.
Wike needs co-ordination, comportment and carriage if he is to be taken serious as a governor on a mission.

amaechi1:
If Amaechi spent only $150m as alleged then he is very prudent when compared with the amount Dasuki and co shared. Amaechi deserve commendation. Stop lamenting, the elections are over.

Ndolarr:
It is a big surprise that even a senator from Borno could talk this way! He failed to tell us what efforts he has made to help Nigeria overcome the insurgents and how the menace can be ended! He is really an 'end time senator' with no appreciation of the reason he was elected a senator in the first place! Shameful!!

lawbabs:
The economy that was destroyed in years must be rebuilt in months... Some wailers are high on lemon grass...

Poor title of article. The Economist did not accuse PMB of worsening Nigeria's economy. They merely criticized the administration's FX and Imports Policy.

Bevista:
They spoke glowingly about his efforts to plug leakages to shore up government revenue. They also credited the expansionary budget aimed at infrastructural development and diversification of government revenue.

ayindejimmy:
You've been following the guy you've been arguing with. It wasn't me
I jus chipped in
However, I know this particular ifeanyi "Ubah". The others are Andy and Chris "Uba"
It's this Same ifeanyi Uba that was embroidered in the subsidy scam.
It's this same ifeanyi Uba that championed the TAN extravaganzas
It's this same ifeanyi Uba that came to Lagos in the last election, swinged the gubernatorial election in Lagos along ethnic line to make a dubious path with Jimi Agbaje
I know him well, he's a desperado

ayindejimmy:
Don't malign the truth.
The Aluko dude came with facts of his own despite the one that has been in public domain. We have Fayose and others on tape planning with the military to neutralize APC.
Now, what proof has Fayose or PDP produced to proof contrary?

It amazes me at times. Cos it's in our best interest for these unscrupulous politicians to expose themselves.... But when some gullible lots now rise to defend and even preach their innocent - now, that's fůçked up

focus7:
We do not expect him to own up easily, even Jonathan will still deny. Beside we all know what Ubas are capable of, the Chris Ngige and the Okija shrine scandal is still fresh in our memory. Is Uba not equally a thug like Fayose?

iamrealdeji:
this man is a sadist. I'm not an apc supporter anymore but I have to say the truth. This woman is very beautiful,yes middle aged but prettier than your mother and your girlfriend put together
