How many Nigerians can pay for constant light

You want to gave constant and pay 15,000 a month bill? Constant power would cost an average home 200k minimum

Tell me what exactly is lack of power preventing in Nigeria please.. I need names

Excuses, Excuses Excuses.

Monkeys with spaghetti for Brains

How many people in Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, India, Bangladesh, Rwanda, And other 3rd world countries can pay for constant light?

Don't those countries above have constant light?

Is it not when you pay for the light you get the light?

Abi is the light payment after service?

You're just a disgrace to humanity.

Wonder why Darwinism haven't taken care of you.

@OP You're very correct.. the inadequate supply of power has contibuted so much to the slow development of our economy.

What do you think is the way forward?.. consider size and some inner areas e.g creeks.

To have electricity power is not meant for the poor.

metering exists. Plus even with the current price if 225 per unit, it's impossible for a regular family to accumulate such an astronomical bill unless they are running a factory in their bedroom. With constant electricity, companies will cut expenses by a long mile as they wouldn't spend on diesel and generator maintenance. Standard of living will improve, quality of life will skyrocket as hospitals, schools and other public facilities will run almost seamlessly.

Lack of 24 hours light is what is breeding the poverty, you don't know anything

Electricity doesn't have to be profit generating,it's should be a basic social service

Show me any country that's not oil rich per capita that it happens I dare you mind you nigeria is not oil rich

babasolution:
Affordable 24 hours electricity

Why not affordable cars? Affordable iphone?

Oga electricity cost the same to produce in nigeria or USA or china

100 dollars per month for electricity is affordable... Nigerians are just too poor to have it


What is a right is access to electricity and we all have that
We would when we are rich enough

mrvitalis:

Electricity should be affordable and available atleast even if its just in cities

Electricity is an essential service not a luxury, it's almost like human need for water

Even when 90% of people can't afford it?

Electricity in nigeria is affordable we are just too poor to pay it

Nigerians are poorer than Chad and niger

You guys don't know how bad APC destroyed Nigeria

Before APC was there electricity?

Car is a essential too na
House is
Cloth is
How many of them is not sold for profit

Is anyone stopping u from having electricity?

No body owes u free electricity when u can't per

No but people could afford more electricity via generator

Car is essentially that's why there is relatively cheap public transport, more low cost housing is needed in Nigeria, there's option for cheap cloths

But Nigeria owes religious travellers minimum of 90 billion per annum for a single religious trip,but cannot afford to provide cheap electricity abi

mrvitalis:
How do u think a small laundry would pay for 24 hours light?

Say they use 2kv that's 2kwh that's 200 per house thats that's 144k monthly if he works 6 days that's about 130k

And 60% would be idol use

Have you ran a business before?

If this is how you calculate and run your business, I’m sorry to say you’re terrible at it.

Steady power supply beats generator usage hands down.

I have an office in a shopping complex in Lagos. There is no national power there at all. We used to run generators daily. Before the hike in fuel price, I used to spend 10k weekly and about 40k monthly on petrol.

When fuel prices came up to about 600/l you can imagine how much we spent on fuel weekly.

An independent solar company came and installed solar panel and inverters in every shop and office. Currently we spend 20k on power monthly. Some spend less, some spend more. Depends on your consumption.

If NEPA can guarantee steady supply of electricity, I will choose it over use of generators over and over again. It’s cheaper, cleaner and better.

So if u have pre paid meter how much do u think u would spend on same hours

In as much as I would not only stop government paying for pilgrimage I would tax who ever is going

90 billion can't give a neighborhood 24 hours electricity not to talk of ward

Lol transportation? Is it cheap is not it's affordable to you because u are rich

When you are rich enough 200k a month for power wont be a big deal

Sometimes your argument can be quite annoying. What are you even talking about? You mean Nigeria is so poor that it can't afford regular power supply? Something that almost every country take for granted today?

You believe that running noisy, environmentally-damaging, expensive and unreliable generator is a better alternative?

FYI, electricity is not so expensive in other countries. People switch on appliances when their is need and switch them off afterwards to save energy costs. Having power whenever you need it is what makes economies to run efficiently and grow. With constant sunlight, natural gas and dam-able water bodies, Nigeria should be able to generate very affordable power if only the country is run competently. Many countries don't have all these in abundance yet they generate constant power for their people.

Who take electricity for granted?

Those African countries that have power ask them how much they pay

It's affordable because many poor people can access and use public transport

I use prepaid meter at home. I don’t turn on all my appliances at once. Most of the time what I have on is my refrigerator, one or two fans, a few light bulbs etc. My refrigerator is inverter type (consumes very little electricity), TV is energy saving type, light bulbs are all energy saving. I do not recharge every month because one recharge takes me through 3 months.
