The yeye man is really making things difficult for all this useless urchins in social media defending him. Give this man more 30yrs, it will even get worst thats exactly what some yorubas want una well done oooo

May Nigeria happen to you for this thing you have just typed! Since you have nothing better to say that trying to excuse the inexcusable!

Electricity is the easiest thing to settle. The reason there is no constant electricity in Nigeria is because they don't want you to have constant electricity in Nigeria. What about the abysmal state of Nigerian roads? Why is a road like benin- auchi -lokoja - abuja road now totally unmotorable? That still remains the shortest most economically viable link between the north and the south yet is currently totally unmotorable yet they chase white elephants which they will never catch and people like you always rise up and sow dissent in the voice of the masses anytime they are being criticised for their ineptitude! What is wrong with you?

Actually they do. The senate president lists among his successes as a governor adding villages in his state to the grid. If they were as callous as you say, by now the government would have long since been removed by a true people's revolution ( my choice and a good idea)

The problem is , most of you don't want to pay for electricity at the market price. As at now, only band A customers pay for power at the market prices.

Government in turn is scared to charge for power at market prices . Because they are politicians who think of power before good decisions

It costs 170 naira to make one unit of power..80 percent of consumer pays below 170 naira per unit. No profit, no improvement.

Ghana, ivory coast and even South Africa pay at market price and have better power supply than us. And it is not as if they are rich....Ghananians disconnect from the mains supply deliberately sometimes to cut power costs.


Before you start, note that I do not mean that tinubu is a good leader or that corruption is not part of the problem..I am saying that all our problems with the power sector begin with lack of a cost reflective tarrif.


To put things in monetary perspective.. discos made a profit of 1 trillion naira last year. We need something like 15 trillion yearly for the next ten years to get power on a consistent basis. Remember that one trillion is based on just 20% of consumers paying above market price, 18-22 % of consumers not paying and the rest underpaying

Let’s see who you would now elect that would give you constant electricity overnight, after ALL your leaders kept you in Darkness since 65 years of the country’s nominal Independence. You think say na YAM?

Lolz chai, they really hijack your battery hahahaha, hahahaha

Lokoja Abuja road is under construction and the same with Benin to Auchi

surgical:
you guys are funny,this man is a master of rhetoric, while making that statement he knew he was not going to keep the promise, that is why he put in the caveat, 'unless I give you adequate reasons' ,the reasons he already jotted down before making the speech
Tinubu is an expert manipulator
He will surely give his adequate reasons when the time comes
Or pull something like the rice pyramid or Nigerian air on the gullible Nigerians close to the elections and will say ureka , I have found the solution, I told you, I have delivered on my promise, you should elect me, and if Nigerians unfortunately falls for that, sorry will be their names because, the moment he is re elected ,the magic will disappear and they will return to their darkness era

18millon on band A can't deny that they are not enjoying light within 2 years ,let see how many that will be added to those people enjoying light before his tenure finishes.Mind you Rural electrification is also doing well

Expecting power supply to be good on 5000 mw daily is like expecting me to be married to the last ten Miss Universe winners and runners up at once.

Power is still bad. Make we no pretend. Even if we want to shout band A, is it right to celebrate that less than 20% of consumers have light?

lionshare:
The comparison is between Nigeria and other West African countries, not Nigeria and the USA. West African nations share more similar socio-economic conditions with Nigeria, including comparable average household income ranges.

I have given you a standard example, juxatopose and lets see

Generally in life, thinking progressive you compare yourself with people above you not people below

Most of the west africa countries you are so fixated on her baby countries to Nig. they even look up to us for handout no west africa countries have the resources/wealth of Nig. so comparism is unbalance even to them

PRESIDENT TINUBU HIMSELF TOLD US WHY WE SHOULD NOT RE-ELECT HIM FOR SECOND TERM! - My legitimate beef with SOME hate filled Obidients aside (and that won’t end anytime soon🤷🏿‍♂️) … we all must still ask Mr President why should we be reelecting him when he has not kept his words,… pic.twitter.com/deGlh38AFT

]. You are indeed an entertainer!
Mention a Nigerian president who fulfilled all his promises. As for electricity ,no Nigerian president can resolve it.
Nigerian leaders have eaten up our power sector.

They can't because the solution means that everyone pays for power at 250 naira per unit and defaulters go to jail and get disconnected permanently. And power thieves get prosecution

Since that would bring about riots in the name of ' we are poor'...

AqualinaXYZ:
The thing shock me my brother I’m confused as well

Power supply now is much better than what he have under Jonathan and buhari.

I don't know about other places but where I live and few other states. Also, if you are not on Band A, a unit is around #36. I could remember I bought #64 per units when Buhari was there.

I can criticise Tinubu on many issues but power is a bit better now since beginning of this year.

I will agree with this post, though band A is quite expensive but they enjoy light 24 hours in almost every day of the week. Other bands are not poor too compare to condition of power supply under two previous administrations.

The problem of many Nigerians is that, we criticise blindly as a result of hatred withiout looking at positive aspect of an issue.

The country is owing Gencos 3 trillion naira.

How will one expect 24hr power supply when it is sold below cost?

If you want Band A power supply of 20 hours daily, pay Band A rates which are cost reflective.

There's no free lunch out there.

Initially, you advised against comparing the US and Nigeria, and now you’re taking the same stance again. Regardless, even when compared with MINT and BRICS countries, Nigeria remains among the cheapest, tied with Turkey.

They'll just use propaganda and generate the shortfall!

They'll tell you cost of alternative energy became cheaper meaning more people have alternative power.

They'll tell you there is no more fuel scarcity so people can now buy fuel easily to power their generators to get 24 hours supply

They'll even tell you the sun got brighter under BAT so you not having 24 hours supply is because you didn't buy solar panels and inverter

Then They'll give a dose of "whataboutism" and say generation has been the highest under their leader and ask about other administrations.

In the end, the undead will still support their own

One the essence of stats is for comparism, however my point is if you want to posit " cheap" dont use another currency rate

The only valid means to posit " cheap" in any country is the currency value and fixed minimum wage of that nation ... those are the valid scale

hope its clearer now

femi4:

Femi4, stop gaslighting the earlier poster and answer the question.

If my vote doesn’t count, you, Tinubu should be bold enough to admit same as Yar’Adua did. In same vein, if your principal thinks himself popular, then I’d expect he or she to call for a transparent voting process, not throwing around; “our votes don’t count.” How does that even sound to you? I’d be too ashamed to say.

If you grew cheating in exams, don’t profile everyone as cheat.

Even adelabu will not lie this kind of lies with everyday collapse of national grid and inadequate transmission capacity for the paltry little over 4k mega watt generation
Only reno can shamelessly tell korokoro lies like this . Even government spokespersons don't do that they only insults or mock people

You're shifting the goalposts again, because no two countries will ever have identical population sizes, household incomes, or purchasing power indexes. Even when compared to other West African countries—which typically have lower incomes—Nigeria still delivers cheaper electricity. And when you expand the comparison to MINT or BRICS nations, using population size or economic scale as benchmarks, Nigeria still stands out with the most affordable electricity. This is especially true for Band A rates, which are the least subsidized—indicating that the actual cost is even lower than what Band B rates reflect.

When it gets to 8years: your kind will blame the previous administration. Aren’t you tired of defending corrupt leaders? Whats even wrong with Nigerians? Are majority cursed with stupidity or what?

Are you the only country on Earth. Is providing electricity rocket science?

helinues:
Are you judging this government solely about electricity?

Should you be judged by the people as you don't want the masses to judge the for lack good governance ?

You are the one just being illogical here, you couldnt even juxtapose "cheap" as your instrument of scale are not tenable

Affordable is what people pay without groaning, check customers on Band B who finds 20k per week on a interrupted electricity funny, can you pay it cheerful

You can't displace the true measure of affordability which is minimum wage and per capital income

Those Mint and Brics nation you keep reiterating check there minimum wage and per capital income .. what the convenience rate to pay $200, $300 bills do the same for Nigeria and lets see you validate cheap here

They claim Tinubu reforms are working and economic is stable, ask them to show evidence, they will resort to obedient this, peter obi in Anambra, spilling gibberish
