The Negative Impact Of Subsidy Removal On My Phone Charging Business by Temp150: 9:29pm On Apr 23, 2023 |
Hi Nairaland, This Subsidy removal is a big threat to my phone charging business. I just can't stop thinking of the negative impacts it will have on this my small business. Even at almost N200 per liter, it still affect me somehow. Imagine if subsidy is removed, that means petrol might sell for at least N300 or up to N500 per liter, literally puting me out of business, if I don't think of an alternative. I'm really worried, and could use some helpful advice. Thank you |

Solar would be perfect for your business. Of course, it is relatively expensive. You are the type of hard working person that should qualify for a small business loan. Unfortunately, finding a bank to provide such loan will be difficult. We read in the news that there are government schemes to assist people like you. But we know the money rarely gets to the right people. It's a shame. I hope you find a solution. |

DeLaRue: Government schemes you say? I am sorry to disappoint both you and Op. There is no tangible government scheme anywhere to relieve the masses of the impending subsidy effect. Buhar!'s government is the worst i have seen anywhere in the world. The corruption masquerading as clueless-ness and the ease at which they seems confident operating in it; is mindbogglingly and should be taught in schools as a separate course. We all agree subsidy must go. But it seems this present government is hoping to take advantage of the situation and loot. Because how can someone believes a federal government without database, without concrete statistics asides guess work done by NBS; Hoping to start sharing less than 5000 to 15million poor citizens as subsidy relieve package. Who are the poor citizens? What criteria will be use to determine the poor citizens? Where is the government hoping to find them?Same government without records or database. Are we going to see the list of beneficiary after the money is disbursed? What can 5000 do for an average citizen, talkmore of poor citizens? What business can one start with 5k, what business can one boost with 5k? . This is not just a misplaced priority from the government neither is it clueless-ness It is a deliberate attempt to siphon money and swim in corruption. Just like during lockdown; the billions donated by World bank, WHO, and other countries. Where are they? What about the relieve money donated by Dangote, Alakija, otedola and others . Where is the money? Just like N-Power, just like tradermoni, just like school feeding programme where the minister said they she spend 10billion naira everyday to feed school children. These people are thieves and nothing more. Depend on them at your own peril. What happen to investing the money in small refineries and subsequently powering the existing ones? What happen to investing the money in transportation to atleast serve as a relieve to commuters who will have to pay more. What happen to investing in other amenities that can reduce the harsh impact of the subsidy removal on the people? How can a government be thinking of sharing money some imaginary poor people' instead of investing it in something tangible that can benefit everyone and that also has longtime advantage. 1 Like |

Nigerians would have no choice than to endure. We can't continue to be paying for subsidy of the oil which almost half must have been diverted to other countries. Also it's time to reduce our debt ceiling which subsidy is taking chunk of it 5 Likes |

Dont worry ppl go still charge phone even if fuel price is 10000, ull even make more money cos ppl no go dey on gen for night again, if u make 3k a day, in a year days more than 1mill, why not go solar. And u will not buy fuel again. Assume a phone uses 5wh of electricity per hour of charge, a 100ah battery will give you 200 hours of charging time or simply put give you enough juice to power up to 100 phones a day assuming a max charge time of 2hrs. You only need 1 300W panel, total cost will be under 400k. This is actually best time fr the biz |

lhordspy:Was this account hacked? Less than 2 months for Buhari to go, that is when you know his government is the worst. Lai Mohammed will call this hate speech. @poster, increase your price. Or make more research about solar. |

Nigerians are not the brightest when it comes to logic and reason. The right thing to do would be to remove subsidy from petrol and move it to renewable forms of energy like it is done in many western countries. If solar panels, batteries and inverters were subsidized, many small businesses like that of the OP would be able to afford a clean energy source as a substitute to petrol. |
Re: The Negative Impact Of Subsidy Removal On My Phone Charging Business by Temp150: 1:29pm On Apr 24, 2023 |
If you know much about solar energy, please let me know, especially if you've bought it before. Thank you |

I'm sorry to hear that. But if I might ask. On an average, how many phones do you charge in a day and where is your business based (rural, urban, or in a school environment.) |
