Whether APC or pdp that is your business, do not expect electricity, November 7th 2013 Jonathan mortgaged your electricity infrastructure to quacks for 25 years.

The Federal Government Claim they don’t have the $12 billion dollars to renege from the Agreement.

If Mumu Jonathan had gone to companies like ESKOM, Siemens GMBH in 2013, like President Buhari did in 2020, you would be singing a different tune today.

Jonathan messed you up, a bad tree can never yield good fruits, enjoy your privatization.

What was the track record of people like the Osibudus & Ayenis, late Captain Hosa in electricity before distribution companies were sold to them?

Essentially, the DISCOS are not making enough money from end users to pay for excess power

1.Cost of power is too low due to tarrifs being kept below the cost of production(and the subsidy paid cannot cover the losses...even with subsidies, DISCOS still need an extra trillion naira)

2.30% of subscribers do not even pay for the power they use...government, rich and poor.

At the end, DISCOS have to reject power, or go into more debt.

Nigeria has to pay for power at the market price for all this to end. You want power, then pay the money for it.

Of course he Fashola will perform a miracle, just what you Nigerians always expect, & fix property that belongs to other people?

7th November 2013, we were made to believe the future will be alright & bright, well today is the future no electricity, PHCN privatization the biggest pdp scam.

Jonathan & pdp sold your electricity infrastructure to quacks, do not expect any electricity in future.

Don’t blame me, just name just one reputable company that purchased any of your electricity infrastructure from pdp?

treesun:
You are still blaming Jonathan after 7 years, Fashola said it will take him six months!

Kpengla:
Shut this market-price narrative already it's bullshit.

The problem with discos (and gencos too) is the dilapidated transmission infrastructure. Let FGN unbundle Transmission Coy of Nigeria and watch as miracles happen in the power sector

princepee:
story distribute pre paid netters and let the people pay for what they use.

Beedude:
Let them share prepaid. You cant give estimated bills and expect people to keep paying.
With my prepaid meter, i dont mind if they increase the price of electricity as far as it is available. I will always program myself with my usage. Estimated billing is the reason people waste electricity. When you start using a prepaid, you will learn that using bulbs and other appliances during the day is useless

uau:
No power.

The BEDC credits I bought last year is still remaining.

I have lost hope and I am building my power grid and will no longer need BEDC forever soon.

Bigchristo:
That lady Funke who controls BEDC is the real definition of wickedness, at one time Obaseki was forced to walk her out of a stakeholders meetings because of her wickedness that the Edo people complained about, I used to reside in Benin my brother forget light matter for some area na total darkness not only in Edo state those state which BEDC cover are not enjoying light they will buy small megawatts and share it little by little at the end of the day go check people light bills they will bring Huge amount

HenryWilliams:
What happened to Siemens.,GE during the Privatization scheme?
Guess they were schemed out of things.
Nigeria would have vastly improved in electricity supply by now.. almost a decade

loswhite:
Jonathan is a disaster. Go and check the stupid deal he signed. Government is continuity.

subsidywise18:
It is already happening.

Also happening...people bypassing the meters

princepee:
bypassing of meter is a criminal offense, let the discos go after those who bypass meters,
If they can go for disconnections nothing stopping them from identifin those who bypass meters.

treesun:
Your eyes are always buckled with lies. Ask yourself, all the major actors that made the decisions, where are they now, APC! I just look at the reasonings of many of you. The agreement Buhari had with Siemens and you are all celebrating, what has come out of it!

subsidywise18:
They do, and most people chase them with cutlass

And they also unfortunately don't have enough cash to do so, leading to my previous point.

And even if everyone has a meter, there remains the problem that government keeeps on setting their prices, and keeps on keeping it below the cost of producing power

Hence the disco rejection of power...they aren't rasing enough funds to pay NBET. A


About those who chase them with Cutlass just get some police officers go there unannounced, take them to the station, make them to pay heavily, others will learn.
In naija. Nobody want police wahala.

don't say for others, in my area in Benin there's always light.

subsidywise18:
And how do they replace the dilapidated infrastructure? With what?

Anyways...

fyneguy:
Fashola could not get rid of the operators. They signed an agreement that threw Nigeria under the bus, and protected them.

Kpengla:
Privatisation...turns out you don't even understand the whole thing

edoairways:
BEDC is the worst disco I have seen so far in Nigeria.

NaMe4:
You may be located in areas benefitting from special grids eg Okada has its own power station (a private setup) and there are areas that benefit from it as it's transmission lines runs into the city.

In GRA, only a few streets enjoy fairly good power supply.

Ugbor GRA axis - 3 hours on, 3 hours off at best!

Off Airport road, Iyekogba Estate and beyond, with the rest of the 90% of Edo, darkness!!!

Zagee:
The disco in my area is not living up to its obligation as a Band C customer. How can I seek redress. We The people should be able to force them to live up to there terms of service. I am being cheated on the rate.

You are on 12 hrs plan?
