e pass shame sef but na Nigerians want am like that...you can imagine if Nigerians from the North, south, West and East rise up in protest that will bring Nigerian government on their kneels, running to protect their lives and that of their families, they will give Nigerians a date that will not exceed 2 months to fix Nigerian power issues permanently. But we decide to keep quiet and complain on social media and drinking joints and allow them enjoy 24/7 electricity in their homes while we can't ha single hour in-interrupted power supply

The one they are giving to us we have refused to pay. The ones that have prepared metre chooses to bypass. The problem of the country is the citizens ....I know someone that can buy fuel for 10k without complaining but if that person pays 5k for Electricity bill....lol him go cry say nepa don kill am.

We can protest from Monday to Sunday, and remove the gofment, and it still does not change the fact that discos are not pefromning because people...in Nigeria and other countries, are not paying them what they need to make a profit to fix up what we need to get power.

Protests would not change the fact of meter tampering and bypassing, illegal connections, power theft, and poor tarrif setup.

Your phone works because you pay the GSM companies at a price they set. Power companies do not work because they are forced to reduce their prices by government, and then people owe them

Mr revolution, would you like it if your customers do not pay for your service at full price?

they should make prepaid meter compulsory to everyone, so if u don't pay u don't get light. Although some Nigerians have criminal mentality, they would still find a way to by pass

Thunder scatter una, where's the light?

nairalanda1:
Yes what i was saying

Most people would focus on Benin, Togo and Ghana. No one would focus on the fact that it includes NIGERIANS as well.

In many ways, we are part of the reason why we don't have good power. You don't pay a cost reflective tarrif, you even go on to not pay for the service rendered, and you expect the DSICOS to make money on top of that?

Schizoid thinking.

Na Ghana your mate ?

How come Nigeria is supplying power to Togo, Benin, and Niger and we don't have enough electricity to run our economy? I hope Nigeria is not under a spell. I mean where in this world would a country take care of the need of another country without sorting out its own needs?

Ironi:
Na Ghana your mate ?

Ghanians are not paying for the power they get from us either.

Oga, Ghana is just as broke as we are. The fact is, most African nations, except probably South Africa and the North African nations (and even then countries like Tunisia have their young doing japa well well)...are broke.

I just dey laugh anytime I hear Nigerians praising Ghana. Ghana that has same issues like we do. Even power, they are stricter about it, than we are.

At the end of the day, you guys want good power supply, you better pay for it. This GSM we are using was made possible by government allowing them GSM companies to exploit us well well. For profit, which was reinvested into our telco sector.

Ghana does not get power from Nigeria , idiot !

They do, or at least the gas to supply power (25% of the gas used for power comes from us vide the West African gas pipeline.).

Go take a good look at the Niger River, would you rather
Niger build their own dams on the Niger River ??

Nigeria would go begging Niger not to do that.

I believe you sell hydro to Niger for a reason . Go find out why Nigeria supplies hydro to Niger .

1.4 trn naira where is the constant electricity light that will motivate nigerians to pay... nigerians spend a lot on their generators inorder to get electricity light in their home and bussinesses...and nigeria still pay NEPA darkness electricity bill... and you are complaining of 1.4 trn naira debt... where is the constant electricity light you provide for nigerians

This is a very disorganized report. How can Benin, Niger Republic, Togo owe DisCos money?
Nigerians don't owe DisCos alone but NESI players (GenCos, TCN and DisCos) while other neighbouring countries connected to our Grid can only owe TCN and GenCos but not DisCos!

The problem with DISCOS is that they want to make their profit in a short time if not they should have installed prepaid meters in every home and include the cost in the electricity payment on gradual basis

Are u writing this when overwhelmed by emotion or are u really serious?
How in earth can u solve power problems in 2 months?
Power isn't like building roads and even roads u need a lot of Engineering works.
In Power u need more power generation plants, more electrical towers to convey the energy and infrastructure to evacuate the power and distribute the energy. So how can u do the civil and electrical works including importation of machineries and equipment to solve the problems in the 2 months u suggested?
These are the kind of ridiculous opinions that put Libya, Algeria, Syria, Egypt and Tunisia where they're today, a state of regrets. You can't force Govt to do impossible. Nigeria has the cheapest electricity in the world and demanding the right pay from citizens is another issue, you can't get everything in subsidy and expect it to get better....

oga, don't let me insult you ooo...if you are a politician or in any way benefiting form the animalistic and demonic leadership we are experiencing, just say it and shut up...you mean power can not be archived after more than 50 years of our existence or what?.. all the countries you mentioned as been in a mess has far better power more than Nigeria that is not in a mess acording to you.

What are you even saying sef?... people won't get up to 2 hours of electricity in a month and they confront them with ridiculous estimated bill and you expect them to be happy about it ?

It is simple, the goverment should provide constant power and distribute prepaid M and tackle the issue of power theft or bypass .

We contribute money to buy transformer, contribute money to fix bad transfomer you are here talking nonsense

Why are we giving neighboring countries power when we don't have enough? Is dis not madness? If you say we are selling to Dem. Wat is the money used for? How have dat income better the live of a common man in Nigeria? May God help this country. The rascality is too much

The shithole is a stupid joke!
Nig ain't got power, yet supplies neighbouring debtors
The doomed contraption is long overdue for DISINTEGRATION or RE-COLONISATION!

By the mention of that name "Nigeria" expect wahala pro max

juvewalex:
We never get light finish, you are still selling it to Neigbouring countries and you are being owed by those countries, how do you recover your debts except you will disconnect them .

In the case of Nigeria, when you are billing us exorbitantly, how did you think people would pay such bills willingly without electricity being supplied to them and you think you could be smiling to bank for cash out .

A lot is wrong here .

The thing is that Nigeria electricity issue is transmission. Nigeria generate enough power that can serve the whole country in a decade but they don't have the infrastructures to transmit all of it. Cuz after generating, you must still transmit it to the consumers.

That's why they are now selling to neighbouring countries that have the infrastructures to transmit cuz those countries can't generate enough power that can serve them.

But if Nigeria can look into the transmission aspect and put better infrastructures in place, Nigeria will have constant light.

Our problem is not being able to transmit the large amount of power that the country generates.

Franking:
I don't understand how Nigeria is obliged to sell electricity to Benin and Togo when we barely get any in Nigeria.

I put your query to ChatGPT


Litmus:
Why does Nigeria supply Benin Republic, Togo and Ghana electricity

ChatGPT:
Nigeria supplies electricity to neighboring countries such as Benin Republic, Togo, and Ghana because it has a surplus of electricity production compared to its domestic demand. Nigeria generates electricity mainly from natural gas, hydropower, and coal, and has the potential to generate even more from renewable sources such as solar and wind.

However, Nigeria's domestic electricity supply infrastructure is still inadequate and unreliable, leading to frequent power outages and load shedding. Therefore, exporting electricity to neighboring countries helps Nigeria earn revenue from its surplus power and improve regional energy security. It also helps build diplomatic and economic ties with neighboring countries.

Additionally, the West African Power Pool (WAPP), a regional power integration initiative, aims to increase access to reliable and affordable electricity across West Africa. Nigeria is a major player in WAPP and contributes to the pool of electricity available for cross-border trade.





Litmus:
Is Nigeria also forced to provide neighbouring countries with electricity to prevent them damming river Niger up stream?

ChatGPT:
There is no evidence to suggest that Nigeria is forced to provide neighboring countries with electricity to prevent them from damming the River Niger upstream. However, the construction of dams on the River Niger by upstream countries such as Mali and Guinea can potentially affect the flow of the river downstream, including Nigeria.

The River Niger is a major source of water for Nigeria and supports a range of economic activities such as agriculture, transportation, and power generation. Therefore, Nigeria has been involved in discussions and negotiations with upstream countries to ensure that any plans for dam construction are carried out in a way that minimizes negative impacts on downstream countries.

Nigeria has also been involved in the development of the Niger Basin Authority, a regional organization that aims to promote cooperation and integrated management of water resources in the Niger Basin. Through this organization, Nigeria and other member countries work together to ensure sustainable use of the river's resources and minimize potential conflicts over water allocation.

it has always been this way....

power tappin and not payin bills is normal....

1 + 1 = 2.

If you like, bring out the largest number of protesters and rioters to demand for 24hr supply, as long as the issues bedeviling the sector are left unresolved such as the underpricing of the power sold to consumers, it won't change a thing.

The protesters can't make 1 + 1=3

MiztaDynameek:
Out of all the countries mentioned na only Nigeria no get steady light. No be shame

SINCE THE NIGERIAN CITIZEN CHOOSE TO GO RELIGION HOUSE TO PRAY FOR LIGHT WHEN THEIR COMMON SENSE CANNOT PROVIDE LIGHT 😂👌 I KNEW WE HAVE BEEN OCCUPIED BY ERROR
