Because he is Bayo.

The same way... You were happy that Wike collapsed.

Sore losers and bitter souls

You better go and eat. I am in Band A, we hardly get 17 hours in a day, so people in Surulere who are protesting or taking EKEDC to court are sore losers too. You people, your future is being stolen and you are protecting your oppressors. Wise up, free to troll me.

Can you pay for services not enjoyable!

When you run a business where 80% of consumers are not paying anything or underpaying, you expect that business to succeed?[/quote]

nairalanda1:
It costs 170 naira to produce a unit of power.

Band a consumers are 20% of the total.consumer base and pay above that.

Everyone else pays below that


Then pwc did a study which showed about 40% of consumers nationwide don't pay for power.

Simple and short

You power sector hacks do not have an excuse! And the more you argue, the more you reinforce that idea.

You completely side-stepped the prepaid meter issue which will address noncompliance in payment and went off talking about fictitious figures that don't add up.

So 40% don't pay...

Quit the deceptive arguments and admit that you guys are purely incompetent.

Why we just like to dy deceive ourselves for this country...... Who ever resigned because one group conplainy

Yorba minsters full of excuses, why can't resign if the problems has been built up over years, and he is now clueless. Why can't he resign since he is clueless.

when future power ministers don’t perform well we shouldn’t blame them
Coz it’s been accumulating for years
See how daft and retardded you are

adenigga:
The groups argued that the Minister lacks the capacity to effectively manage the power sector, pointing to persistent electricity shortages that have plagued the country for decades.


According to the coalition, over 40% of Nigerians remain without access to electricity, while those connected to the national grid endure inconsistent power supply ranging between 2,000MW and 4,000MW—figures that have stagnated since the 1980s.

Why are people so obsessed with damaging the integrity of Fashola, Buhari, Tinubu and other leaders looters in APC.

Why should we not be grateful to them for giving all of us stable and uninterrupted electricity since 2015 as promised in their change campaign.

1United1:
State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has said the only way the country can have stable electricity is to vote out the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from power in next year’s general election.

Fashola, who gave the counsel while marking his 2,600 days in office at an elaborate ceremony held at the Blue Roof of the Lagos Television premises, said electricity crisis in the country is caused by lack of ideas and insincerity of purpose on the part of Federal Government.

He said,” Yes I agree with you that it is possible to generate electricity and to make sure that everybody in this country has electricity, we have to do the right thing. But you know what, the only way that you and I will have electricity in this country will be to vote out the PDP.

” In 16 years hundreds of billions of naira have been spent and we cannot switch on electricity and in seven years we have created four plants. It shows that something is missing. So unless you vote for All Progressive Congress it is going to be difficult to have electricity.

But you said 80% before, are you not the guy defending criminals in house clearance sales thread, no wonder, I am not surprised as you are also an APC urchin.

I couldn't agree more. During Buhari's time, we never had it this bad.

All the minsters and head of parastatals are all yorbas, yet Nigeria has moved backwards to 50 years. Even Buhari is now seemed as a perfomer

Band a consumers pay above the cost price of a unit of power, and they are twenty percent of the consumers

The others pay below and they form the remaining 80 percent.

Looks like you don't understand me at all,.squire.

If everyone was placed on band a, and everyone paid, the profit yielded would be enough to make things work better. More investment would come in.

I'm not defending apc. I am.defending your right to set your prices as you deem fit.

Please why should we pay for anything when the government is just using the money to get more luxury for themselves, while leaving us to suffer in extreme poverty of joblessness?

What reasonable person does that

chisomkachy:
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s first supplementary budget includes a fleet of SUVs for himself and his wife, a presidential yacht and the renovation of his villa amid a cost-of-living crisis for some of the poorest people in the world.

The proposal — which seeks additional funding beyond the annual budget approved by Tinubu’s predecessor — comes as the government asks Nigerians to persevere through pain caused in part by a raft of economic reforms ushered in by the new president. Africa’s most populous country faces rampant unemployment, soaring food prices and a plummeting currency.

Federal lawmakers approved the president’s request for extra spending on Thursday, but eliminated the provision of 5 billion naira ($6.01 million) to buy a presidential yacht. Instead, they doubled the allocation to a student loan fund to 10 billion naira, according Abubakar Bichi, chairman of an appropriations committee in the House of Representatives.

The lawmakers approved 1.5 billion-naira proposed to purchase SUVs for the office of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu — an amount larger than that allocated to many individual federal colleges. The supplementary budget also proposes almost 6 billion naira to purchase SUVs for the presidency — more than the amount initially allocated to fund a student loan program for poor families.

Okay, enjoy free electricity..

The transformer and wires and power stations will be paid for by magic.

Grow up please..not everything is pdp vs apc.

He was appointed because the president felt he can bring about a change, the fact that the problem has been building for years doesn't mean there is no solution.

In Nigeria citizens pay for wires, buy poles to bring electricity to their homes and contribute money to replace damaged transformers.

RepoMan007:
Lol. So apt. He cannot improve power and is just happy to make money by passing time in that office.

move to Band A area and stop wailing about power.
why are u staying in a ghetto that refuses to pay for electricity and choose to complain when it is put on Band E

Yes because most of them do not pay the market price for power.

Naturally the power companies don't make enough of a profit to provide those things.


I attended a private primary school where the fees were five times that of the government secondary school I went to after..in the primary school I got a desk , books and pen and pencil provided by the school. I had to buy all those things when I was at the secondary school.

Omo, there is a reason why price controls don't work.

I checked those guys defending this government on Nairaland and I realised that majority of them are not human beings at all. I supported Tinubu in 2023 but when I saw the handwriting on the wall, I have to check myself again. How will u support a government that took away the happiness of the masses. Things are becoming harder on daily basis. No progress whatsoever but the president and his wife are moving about with convoy of over 100 escort at a go. To what end? They are asking masses to continue to bear but they are sharing money on daily basis. If you are still supporting this government, just be ready for the curse of the masses.

Aptly said, this goes to show that you a indeed man, some of the supporters of this Government are behaving like a robot , even the policies of the is affecting them negatively, they will continue defending it ..

And who says they don't pay for power ?
Nigerians pay more for power and get nothing, before prepaid meters were introduced we were paying for power without electricity. They were months of outages and NEPA officials still served bills to houses for power they didn't use.
When I finished building my house they were bringing bills despite the house been empty for 7 years.
I had to clear out those money when I got prepaid meter installed, I don't even want to start talking about how much I spend presently just to power a 5 bedroom duplex even when the 3 ton standing AC in my sitting room isn't in use. During the Xmas celebration I spent 100k in just two weeks, then imagine what people on the Island spends monthly on power.

My kid brother who lives in a 3 bedroom flat on the mainland gets estimated bill of 45k monthly despite the fact that he travels often with no one in the house.

So how do you justify the fact that Nigerians pay for power that they didn't use ?

At 51 I have been to few countries in Europe, Asia and America and I can tell you that Nigerians are the most exploited people on the earth.

Our politicians are wicked and full of lies, all of them.

The idiot should resign , paying bills every month and no light,
Give us prepaid meter, they refuse,
The minister should be sentenced to death

I am not a child, have always had interest in the power sector because my businesses revolves around electricity so I have had kin interest in the sector for many years.

Do you know billions of dollars has taken in loans to improve the power sector and all has been looted, and the cycles continue with every administration ?

Do you know that South Africa generates over 49,000 MW for just 64m people why Nigeria with a superior economy is struggling to generate 4000 MW for 250m people ?

Why was ambode removed? Because tinubu got nothing from him,why was fubura removed because the sharing formula he expected from rivers crude didn't get to him,
