Kid, I graduated from one of the top journalism schools in the world before you were even born. That's what we call sensational headline.
He was referring to the inability to continue without rate increase, not a threat as the headline suggests.

Namaster:
It's almost like Tinubu appointed his Ministers based on their ability to INFLICT pain on Nigerians.

Some years ago, the government decided that the best way to "revive" the power sector is by selling off Discos to private investors.

We can all see the results of that.

This guy is saying NONSENSE and he knows it.

What's the meaning of "we are all Nigerians and we feel the impact?

He's a Minister in Nigeria. Allocations to the Ministry is his own personal slush fund. Yet he's pretending to share the plights of Nigerians who make #30,000 per month.

Funny man.

You definitely are the one making Nonsense from all the sensible thing he have said.
In as much as it hurts to say, increasing tariff is the only way to attract investors...It isn't in his place to consider how much the minimum way is, that is left to the government and ministers in that sectors to figure it out .
No serious investors will bring in their Billions of dollar into our power sector if a price increment isn't done. That is the way we can guarantee a reasonable amount or power.

grin I'm so used to blackout that I don't subscribe on my DSTV. I only on my generator when my girlfriend visits me or to charge my phone. But due to the recent petrol scarcity, I charge my power bank and phone at a Charging center. I'm even thinking of selling my TV

No be only you guy. It's over two months I subscribed for my DSTV last. What is the use of spending money on DSTV you won't have power to watch? This day, I rather read than watch any TV.

What has happened to all the money invested in the sector over these years? Everytime I see the list of government institution owing power bills, I ask is it that money was never allocated for those payments? Why has government refused to tackle corruption and recover stolen money first? Why does it leave the money he could recover and prefer to transfer the hardship on ordinary Nigerians? What is the guarantee that after increasing the tarrif, they still wont end up stealing the money? And finally how do you contemplate billing without first providing meters for Nigerians? The bill you want to give them, where do you intend to get the readings?
Answer those questions and you will find out how stupid it is to keep supporting the thieves in power.

This is what I have been saying.

Electricity is too affordable in NIgeria. There is need to get better services and we must be ready to pay for it.

Tinubu should also increase the price of fuel to N3,500 per litre to reflect the global standard.

Also, Nigerians should know that there is no vacancy in Aso Rock from 2027-2031 (Sai Tinubu)

Ganduje is to continue from 2031-2039.

We deserve this leadership. carry on Mr. President, your ministers are doing well.

We are solidly behind President BAT, on his mandate we shall stand.

Let's not claim ignorant of some facts, All the money pumped into the power sector by the federal government from 2000,until the privitilization of NEPA were all stolen. Your claim about tackling corruption is just an imaginary tale. We are in the modern age and someone from Kogi Took 80BN, the only thing will be some Jail term and recovery of some amount.
Earlier we accept the truth, Africans in government institutions are corrupt, the pressure from support groups and others are driving them into theft.
Privitalizing and the total removal of Subsidy from such sector will be the beginning of our success.
Let the government be saddle with the job of thinking on how to increase the nation's minimum way, by ensuring all,private companies are fully taxed and by employing other government instruments.
What the Minister of power simply did was actually stopping government from paying Subsidy on Band A and we are all shouting.

Baby, go back and learn the trade again. The headline perfectly reflects the body of the story. Nobody cares what you read and whatever grade you got. The real world is where we are now, not some paper grading mill.

If the money were stolen and government is aware, what have they done to recover the stolen money. If they recover stolen money and reinvest, they won't need to saddle citizens with so much burden. Are they not part of the same people who have stolen the money?

You are a complete stark idiott! Your use of language is not only myopic, it is offensive for a person who is a minister.

You are suppose to be under the bridge with Oluwole boys selling herbal mixture! Tinubu and all his ministers are occult members who derive happiness from the pains of Nigerians!

Zombies, how far? Dem wan send una finally
Into dark oblivion! Haha

Really. Agbadorians always claims Tinubu is very good at scouting talents. I guess this confused emptty minister is one of them.

His utterances back to back has proven he is an empty skull.

Correct bro . He keeps brainwashing the fools who call them supporters.

“The entire sector will be grounded if we don’t increase the tariff. With what we have now in the next three months, the entire country will be in darkness if we don’t increase tariffs.

“The increment will catapult us to the next level. We are also Nigerians, we are also feeling the impact.”

There is nothing sensational about this! Isn’t this the repetitive we have been having on the power sector for decades? The government is trying to absolve itself from being competent enough to say they are broke!

These power mongers have successfully taken control of the ship, yet can’t steer it? Indeed they are desperate power seekers with empty promises!

if you think paying the highest of tariff we command better service from a sector called "Nepa" it either you were born yesterday or you enjoy hallucinating
