Nairaland GeneralRe: Ikorodu Residents Palace Charm On Electric Pole To Avoid Disconnection by peteredo: 4:02pm On May 23, 2017
9jakohai:
Back in 2001...GSM came to Nigeria. And they were private from the word go.

Back then, a sim card could cost you as much as N5000. Network services were bad. In the early days, we got charged high fees for seemingly poor services. Even interconnection between networks was difficult.

But we willingly paid their high fees, despite our jokes about MTN being a 'bitter connection', and ECONET(Now Airtel) being 'inspired to shortchange our wallets'.

Guess where all that cash went into.....expanding their network and even doing charity projects for Nigerians.(Their work conditions tho....another story).And by 2006...the worst was over. SIM cards were now going for N500 or less.

That was the idea the former government had in 2014 when they privatized our power system at the distribution and generation level.....the private sector would do what govt had failed to do for years....raise the money needed for power.

The needs are enormous. We have to replace and upgrade our transmission system. We have to increase generation massively. And we have to connect people to the grid. And our power needs are growing (Millions of Nigerians now own android phones...which chop power to charge).

So, when people refuse to pay their bills because the DISCOS are corrupt (remember how we used to call MTN and co evil, corrupt organizations too?), or because the bills are too high.....we are sabotaging ourselves.

And to make matters worse...the DISCOS and the GENCOS cannot take loans from the banks because banks think that power is too high risk. Banks were lending easily to the GSM companies ......but they wont lend to the DISCOS and GENCOS.

And govt has paid its 'counterpart funding'

So, inasmuch as things are not fair....we are doing ourselves worse by refusing to pay our bills, by bypassing our meters, by doing illegal connections, etc.

And we still complain about poor power supply? Why won't power supply be poor? When we are not paying for it? And where do you expect the DISCOS to get money from? It is even trillions we need....not millions, trillions.

Nigerians....and their governments and parties (APC owed Abuja Disco millions of naira once upon a time) better pay up. Or we renationalize power.....in this period of lack of money.

Excuse me for sounding like a propaganidst.....but.....we cannot get what we do not pay for.
People paying bills is not d problem.. U give me bill of 10k for lite of 12hrs in month nd u xpect me to b. Happy... If d disco want to b sincere share pole mounted prepaid meter nd stop blaming pple not payin there bill

DEINDIK:
Are you very sure Pet Engineering is on the CSOL? Double check pls. If it is, then go for it. But to be candid with you, and this is the kind of advise I would give to a dear friend or a relative, the petroleum industry currently in Australia is not vibrant and there are no signs of it picking up. Chances of landing a job in this area is slim. If you can go for a course that would afford wider chances of getting employment I would say go for it.

Another advise for everyone trying to get in, especially if your are planning to study and work simultaneously, I would strongly advise you consider the location of a Uni before opting for it. It is difficult to find jobs outside big cities. Try to get a uni located in big and vibrant cities like Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane etc. And also try to be sure your campus of study is also in the city, not just the University. For instance, RMIT has two campuses: City campus and Bundoora. There are no jobs in Bundoora so if you plan on working while you are studying in Melbourne be sure that your course are offered in the City campus. I'm speaking from experience guys.
