1. SO that we can pay full price for full power.

2. You can type this stuff from your house because Obasanjo refused to subsidse GSM. OH he was insulted, oh people called him names, oh, people abused GSM companies well well. But they took our money and improved our telephony. We went from less than 500000 lines in 1997 to tens of millions of lines by 2007.

Try running your business where 80% of your customers owe you money, and 40% don't pay. See if it would be successful


Forget politcs...there is nothing like free power.

what are you even saying sef?

You are back again with your propaganda I still remember how you were all over this forum especially on threads that has to do with fuel subsidy removal, how you kept pushing for the removal of fuel subsidy..... You are not satisfied, you now want subsidy to be removed on electricity to kill more Nigerians.... You will never demand accountability from the government or champion it's course as it is glaring you derive joy in the crisis that has engulfed Nigeria's economy already and want it's total destruction by pushing for the removal of all energy subsidies.... Callous!

nairalanda1:
All in all, we should have removed the subsidy on power, make everyone pay for power at market price, and there would be massive improvement in power supply.


We get bad power because we don't pay for power in full. Even now

1. Most Nigerians do not pay the market price for power

2. 40% of Nigerians , if not more, don't pay for power at all.

Run your business that way, and you would lose money well well

The above is why we do not have constant power supply. And why we have shitty power. And why we have blackouts.

Plus, with debt service rising again, government can't afford subsides for power.

But most of you don't want to hear the truth....so we will blame corruption, the Hausas, tinubu, gej, buhari, the army, etc etc.

Tomorrow we will cheer for the guy who chases nepa people from disconetctin him....a big part of the problem.

I love the tears of rage of the people who throw tantrums at the above posts...yes all of you.

NO matter how angry you are...electricity costs money to generate and transmit.

Also, the cost of things do not respect your feelings, or mine.

Suck it up, buttercups.

Google for 'Solving the Liquidity crunch in the power sector. It answers all your questions..

Things do cost 💰

Mandate1:
what are you even saying sef?

It does not matter whether you understand or not, things cost something.

janeedema:
Now, let me ask you:

What exactly is the tax collected from tax payers used for?

Do you realize that there are lots of people who aren't on a minimum wage? Do you even realize this?

People who can't afford to buy food or access quality healthcare.

You spew insensitivity like we have a system that ensures that all and sundry are catered for.

They shouldn't subsidize and use the money to fuel a flamboyant government.

I don't know where you are presently but that you are living in a glass house is no reason to spew out insensitivity. What comes around always comes around.

The poor are being taxed to fuel the lifestyle of the rich and that's why we are heavily indebted. Why are the sacrifices being made by the poor? Does it have any effect on the rich?

You are just plain insensitive. It isn't the truth you speak. You spew insensitivity.

I am afraid you actually don't know a lot of things.

Ykc2:
western countries that import gas for their electricity subsidized this time of Ukraine Russian war,in Luxembourg you don't pay for tram ticket,with all the sanction America gave Venezuela their fuel is like 20cents for their citizens what are we enjoying nigeria as a country? Well your defending tinubu and empty skull minister of finance yomi edu

No they don't. Better stop lying to yourself

arantess:
na their way

To support the concept of a free market, agabado man?

RodgersAkpafu:
the guy is not a serious person
and quite insensitive too

Electricity cost money.

Yes I am insentive . I am also telling you the truth.

Something that costs over 160 naira per kWh you want to sell it at less than 70 naira per kWh because we are poor.?

So how would the power sector pay for improvement when it loses 90 naira or more per kWh of power sold?

And when a lot of people are not paying?

And in your akpu and ewedu filled mind that is how to do business?

Ok. O. You guys don't want to face the truth.

Lanretoye:
The only thing that will save this country is the fall of the exchange rate,everyone is paying heavily for tinubu’s goof and no relief in sigh.

Tinubu is a big time failure, it is clear to all

They are playing before 1k naira 4unit now na 2.2

iwaeda:
This Tinubu economic dividend, Edo people are happy with. Suffering is just loading, how will people get money to pay, Nlfpmod, we will get sense by hunger and hardship. .

Sense of competence, not tribe and religion

Lanretoye:

People generally believe that fuel subsidy that he removed is the major source of this economic meltdown and inflation, whereas it is the floating of naira that's crippling our economy and making the prices of goods and services out of reach

nedu666:
Tinubu has done his worse. All these threats of more poverty doesn't move us anymore. If he likes he can introduce air you breathe tax

He can cause more hardship

nedu666:
For you, the solution to Everything is increase price. So if after you increase the price of Everything and majority are too poor to afford it, what happens?

They don't have sense. People like him are not smart enough to think that far and deep.
I like your response, well done.
You are delusional if you think paying 1k for unit is the only way to have stable electricity.
And secondly, what is the benefit of the stable power supply that you have but still can't use? You think 4units for 1k na beans?

Who are they paying the money to ? Where is the energy supplied ? These people are jokers

SmartPolician:
Nigerian government pays a lot of subsidies without us knowing. Tinubu should have totally removed the electricity subsidy and reduced PMS subsidy by 50% instead of doing the reverse.

Not for me sha. I'm on band A and it is not a smiling matter most especially when you don't bypass

nairalanda1:
We need 10 billion dollars in annual investments to get to 24 hour power supply.

Our budget is 18 billion dollars.

If we follow your way, we may get good power supply, but at the expense of a hefty debt which would eat our country alive...and all in it.

Oga, if you won't let the poor set your prices as a business person, then don't force it on the power supply sector.

Either we pay full market price, or we stop grumbling and enjoy the rubbish we acutally pay for.

Stop wailing here, no one needs your chochocho. You should have advised Tinubu before he paid 150 billion naira to acquire a refurbished jet

Set of unfortunate government where are they supplying the electricity to? They are just sharing the subsidy monthly and want the masses to continue pay their bills. Anyway the masses are yet to learn once they learnt they will reject this Draconian/corrupt government entirely

gbengene1234:
Most areas in Alimosho can't afford to recharge their meter... Most see steady lights but unable to use.. My colleague said they only recharge #2000 overnight alone. This government want to render the poor masses useless for political gains... keep them poor and give them tokens they won't be able to resist when election comes... Everyone is frustrated at the moment and it won't take for things to explode

This is what I just told nairaland1. This is a third world country for God's sake, a poor country! What is the national average income for the citizens? Can't be more than 40k per month! If every item and service is too high, it means citizens won't be able to afford it! Fuel, electricity, house rents, water, etc.
Last last, the companies providing such services will eventually be running into trouble once people/customers stop or reducing patronising them. Low patronage means incurring loses

tommylee:
Let me ask u a very simple and honest question young man, what is problem in the government paying subsidy is it a crime or a sin for them to do that sometimes its always good to think b4 typing it will go a long way in helping u in the long run.

That's because people like him don't know that governments exist to serve and assist the citizens, to alleviate the suffering and burden of the citizens

nairalanda1:
No they don't. Better stop lying to yourself

Because most Austrians pay taxes at the rate you won't pay here in Nigeria.

maasoap:

And then again , things cost money.

It neednt make you cry and be angry about it

Well, you can be abusive and all that, but at the end, people who sell at a profit usually make enough money to pay for improvements

Those APC MUMU won't see this.

Well, Austira's budget is over 200 billion euros

Nigeria's budget is about less than 20 billion euros...16.2 billion euros precisely.

That is why Austria can afford to give you money, Nigeria can't.

Nigeria's own is even made worse by corruption and stealing and running an economy that is less productive, not sharing.


Oga, that is why I don't like any of APC or PDP, and regard this government as useless. There is no policy in place to give us the kind of economy Austria has. Because it means sacrifices you and your government are not ready to make.



So, you want Austria benefit on a budget that is one tenth of Austria, and you wonder why I am laughing at you.


Better grow up son. Reality is not what you think it is.

Get a government that makes us a manufacturer of goods and services, that exports, then maybe we can talk




But because you are still young, you will call me agbado, and run away. Typical eh,


Guten abend.
