No mention of prepaid meter for all customers. The crux of the matter is that most Nigerians are paying for darkness.

happney65:
When will states start generating,transmitting and distributing it's own power and fixing prices good enough for the distribution companies and also for the customers

That is what I want to know not all the story written above

happney65:
You are just complaining like the average Nigerian who likes complaining endlessly. Our argument before was for the sector to experience real privatizion like that of telecoms. Now it has been done by Buhari telling states they can start generating and the likes.

Whether we like it or not,It is a step in the real direction. Things won't change overnight and there are states that have already started the process. That is what I'm saying.

Saying Govornors are so dull they can't do this and that is what I don't understand. Most of the roads you pass through,are done by the state government. I don't know where you're talking from,but in the past 10years state government have being more responsible than the past.

Can they do better? Of course Yes. Do we have Govornors that are nonesense? Of course Yes

But we have better and responsible Govornors nowadays than the past

P.S Nigeria is a developing country and you don't expect things to change overnight but it's a process and development is doing better at the state level than the past

For darkness? Yet many of you were crying over shutdown of national grid last week.

Commenting on winding down electricity subsidies, the NGF said, “Electricity is a commodity and a product that must be paid for by consumers. The states believe that electricity subsidies and other forms of financial interventions in the power sector by the Federal Government over the last 15 years have been inefficient and ineffective so far.

“Rather than improve the quality and reliability of service, electricity subsidies in the sector have been applied to cover inefficient costs and lack of service by Discos, TCN, Gencos and gas producers across the NESI.

“Moreover, the so-called electricity subsidies benefit only customers who are connected to the national grid and enjoy some form of supply reliability. Millions of households, particularly in underserved and unserved communities, pay more than twice the average true cost of on-grid supply.”

abeg can you give small breakdown on what solar you use and how much it carries and how long it lasts

helinues:
They should do on time and also make sure areas are banded to the right band

If you don't have a prepaid metre, go solar gently

I own a prepaid metre but still run solar because power supply around my place is worst despite several complaints to IBEDC

AmiableMosquito:


The same states that cannot pay N60,000 Minimum wage.

Okay!!!!!

ruffhandu:
Oga, please pity Nigerians and stop supporting segregation. Every Nigerian is entitled to constant supply of electricity, and the cost of electricity should be according to usage and the same for everyone

patrickcollins:
if they hammer u band A tarriif with your prepaid meter e go enter ur body, here a thousand naira will buy you 4.45 unit of energy which can't carry a household that have refrigerator for a day. Do the maths for a month yet Fg want to pay 62k. Solar is good but out of reach for majority of our country men and women cos of it's high cost

It all depends on your capability & management

Turn on only what you need

I can't disclose my present setup here so that I will not discourage some people

If you can tell me what you need to power on most times, i can suggest a decent setup for that

maasoap:
They're only interested in the money that those DISCOs will be bringing in. That's why they want all the subsidies on electricity go. They're only about making it a cash cow

happney65:
It is not the states that will do that themselves. They are to bring in investors into the sector who will do that.

As useless as Buhari was,at least he was able to do this at the very tail end of his administration. It is now up to the states to sign it into law for the process to take place. I know some states already passed theirs into law recently. E.G Oyo.

We hope to see the sector truly privatized with no government burecreacy involved and not the Sakamanje privatizion the GEJ administration did

SocialJustice:
Why is nobody saying anything about the part where Nigeria's population 10x in less than 50 years because government was subsidising everybody.

Are you saying the Nigerian government needs to murder Nigerians

WizardOfNG:
Bro reason it. They are signing their own persecution and death warrants if that is their intention.

With every State setting their own tariffs, after subsidy removal, there will be no excuse for States who have set tariff regime, that we believe is predicted on solid feasibility studies, only for them to fail to improve power supply significantly.

To me heavily subsidising power means Nigerians can forget 24/7 power until some miracle makes our nation auddenly and stupendously rich.

Subsidy on power must go. No doubt about that.

The only issue is that it should not be too punitive on Nigerians. Subsidy should be reduced gradually and tapered downwards , as power supply improves, till it is zero at the point majority of Nigerians are enjoying 24/7 power.

SocialJustice:
No, I am saying we are the cause of our problems and we are still neck deep in that situation today as people are still having kids they can't care for and ballooning the population beyond what the government can afford.

JaskanFactor:
What if the sensors is wrong, since sensors reading over population now is a death warrant.
Now anybody who wants to genocide a population can accuse them of overpopulation by ,bv moving everybody to the city while the country side is empty, full of bandits who ensure everybody go to city.

Dont wish genocide on your own people cause you think you have an idea what world you live in.
For one thing you probably dont know that all the people in southern Africa that you call overplanted dirty peasants are the Europeans, Israelites, Scottish , French , Dutch you name . The Irish are now called Jamaican , the Cameron's of Scotland are now called Cameroonians .

And there is enough evidence from ancient maps which they dont teach in school to show that its very highly likely that the land mass of the real world is endless just as the sky is endless , and there are more continents beyond the poles polar regions .

That is why google map shows the world ending abruptly at the poles as if we live on a table , but so above so below, the land is endless like the sky.

Dont wish genocide on your people cause of lies from the enemies of your race.

Google the ancient Japanese map showing 118 continents in the world.
And as of 1918 the last black Japanese were being wiped out , Nagasaki in Japan means the land of dark skin people, thats why your enemies call you overpopulated nigger .

Have you counted the sensors yourself to know the result is true..............
