I think the problem is not the system but the people, we are annoyingly strange in this part of the world. 🤫

Hoping to see its full recovery as soon as possible

No vex, you hear. I feel your pain and cries. Ibo government loading..... Obi dey come

Shakey Shakey National grid. It's been long it last collapsed.

After Tinubu has raised Cost of a Kilowatt from #60 to #255, System is still collapsing?
What happened to our money?

#SCAMMERS.

The money used in doing these restorations are never mentioned I wonder who is chopping this money 😂😂😂

The most important part of this information should contain WHEN EXACTLY the "esteemed customer" should be expecting power to be restored 🤷🏾‍♂️

Where are those clowns that used to claim that they have 23hrs light everyday on top of 2000MW for 200million ?

They have all disappeared as agenda don cast

So with all the advancement, technology, Travelling, exposure,borrowing we still cannot curb grid collapse?

While Tinubu is enjoying 24 hours light in France, chai!

Because french people are ready to pay into their power system to make it work via tax or cost reflective tarrifs..

You guys will refuse to pay or underpay or shout corruption

We get what we pay for.

I am no apc or pdp or adc supporter. This na issue way beyond politics

BAND A, BAND B AND BAND C, WILL COLLECTIVELY SUFFER THIS NATIONWIDE POWERGRID COLLAPSE. IRRESPECTIVE OF HOW MUCH YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY, YOU WILL BE A PART OF THE SUFFERING IF YOU DON'T DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY FROM YOUR LEADERS AND FIGHT FOR INJUSTICE.

A whole Giant of Africa reducing itself to Ant of Africa

It is there. Go and read again

Abi you don't know what "soon" means ni

Great news.....Tinubu should include all Nigerians in his quest to rebuild d collapse of d economy under Buhari ....he's so lacking in dis front

It's a shame that we can not run a country effectively after many years of independence. What a country!!!

The power companies in France provided 24 hours light first before they started connecting and billing people...

Not for everyone, for band a consumers who form 20% of total electricity customer base

Meaning the sector still can't make profits from most consumers

Then a large percentage don't pay or underpay

That's why we have poor light

We get what we pay for.

I am apolitical. I have had this view since 2013.

And all nairaland resident Tinubu guys

Citizens of Nigeria do eat almost every time but don't always feed the Nashana Grid. No wonder the grid do suffer dizziness. Àbí why will the grid continue to experience collapse often like around 10 times within this fiscal year alone and no permanent solution?

I am no apc or pdp or adc supporter but I have corn to eat. This na issue way beyond politics

When did you sit down with French people and they told you they are ready to pay tax or cost reflective tarriffs?
Remind me what led to the French revolution again?

Am not holding brief for this government but sincerely Nigerians have experience minimal national grid collapse in this administration compare to previous governments.
What is more distasteful in your comment is certainly your bigotry and hateful tendencies.
May God heal your heart.....

Even me I dey enjoy AC like this, so this collapse of a thing dey sound like say na imaginary story.

Brendaniel:

They were able to do so because they had enough money paid to them and enough profit and investment because no government price controls and tarrifs

Or how do we get GSM? We paid high tarrifs and it took several years for service to improve. The high tarrifs we paid were enough to fund expansion and improvement

Your assumption makes no sense. Companies don't have bottomless pit of money. It's what people pay in that enables then to make a profit to provide services and expand services

It's like you guys don't like capitalism and prefer communism

What's the light situation in your area? I haven't had power almost 72hrs and still counting.....around college Rd ifako ijaiye, Lagos

So are you saying the people of France paid for the light before it was delivered?
