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

Spare us the fallacy please. The subsidy they removed what have they achieved with it, the loans this government borrow what have they done with it, Pension funds nko.
And deep down your heart you feel/believe if Nigerians including akara sellers and corn roasters begins to pay 25% tax on their survival business the funds won't get embezzled. Abegi!!!

You aren't alone, we are in the same bus going to nowhere since over 2 years now...na me dey front in red t-shirt for the back of the sleeping driver, tell me where you dey sit down??....we no dey go anywhere for now cos mc Oluomo say the driver bobo Chicago still dey await him driver's license from Chicago before we can move and the only. Movement for now wey we dey do na reversal movement....we all just dey wait In suffering and smiling mode while all the agberos still dey call out passengers to Wole pelu change e o..... No. Lapping o....... I tire, see me dey sweat like christmas turkey

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

nairalanda1:
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

Oga, use another country, don't use France. Electricity in France is heavily subsidized and with the vast amount generated from nuclear power they have one of the lowest tariffs in Europe.

Use the UK instead where free market reigns.

There is a pattern going here. Why is it that whenever TCN announces they have peaked to a maximum with power, give or take a week or two that the grid collapses? 🤔

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

Abeg stop this your bare faced lies. The grid collapse of 2024 alone far exceeded those of other administrations.
Even if you lie to yourself, you can't deceive us on what we all experienced and still experiencing.


[/b]The Nigerian national grid collapsed multiple times in 2024, with reports indicating at least 12 collapses throughout the year. Here are some key instances ¹ ² ³:
- *Early Collapses*: The grid experienced its first collapse of 2024 on February 4, with power generation plummeting from 2,407 megawatts to 31MW.
- *Frequent Breakdowns*: By December 11, 2024, the grid had collapsed 12 times, disrupting power supply across the country.


These recurring collapses highlight concerns about Nigeria's fragile power infrastructure and the need for reforms to stabilize the grid and improve electricity supply ⁴.[b]

Don't give them the privilege of claiming sabotage abeg......before you know it.now, the next thing you will hear is sabotage, a ghost of their Consistuency of corruption is sabotaging their efforts......bunch.of vampires.....

Your problem in life is a mixture of arrogancy and ignorance. You couldn't fact check what I said but you were quick to call barefaced liar. Well, I think dis will cure your ignorance.

Are you ready to pay the tax the french do to pay for subsidies?

Are you?

Okay , i guess you believe in the magic money pot in aso rock.

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

You get what you pay for.

Via tax or via tarrifs

I know you disagree with me now, but when your side wins, you will agree with me.

My view remains the same whoever is in power

Good evening

The national grid should be replaced with regional grid. Power generated at kainji dam,bakolori dam,goronyo dam,mambila dam shiroro dam etc should be domesticated in there catchment areas. They should serve there immediate regions without being fed to the national grid to serve distant zones.
Likewise power generated at Egbin thermal plant,Afam power plant,Alaoji etc should also serve there catchment enclaves.
Additionally private power projects should generate power and transmit to designated markets just like Geometric power is doing in ABA.
Maintaining a national grid is super expensive,any snitch anywhere along the grid disrupts supply everywhere.
Different regions in the country must be allowed to grow and develop at there own pace

oga sense is far from you...
Tell me how Nigerians under pay for electricity...
Ever heard of pre paid
Una go just dey defend rubbish.

Kukutente23:
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

We still dey here and lucky for us our light still dry on.

Thank you for being engaging and intelligent in your submission on this thread.

God bless you

It cures nothing, imagine calling 12 grid collapse in a single year improvement when 3 years preceding it cumulatively was a total of 14. That is improvement for you bah, well done 🫤

nairalanda1:
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.

Whose fault is that. If they make meters available to everyone, like it used to be in the past, no consumer will have the opportunity of owing them. Let them make prepaid meters available to every consumer and charge the rate that can sustain them in the business. But if they refuse to issue meters to every consumer, then who is to blame here

If we have had only 16 national grid collapse in more than two years of dis administration compare from where we are coming from, I think it is an improvement.

National Greed don collapse. Wey that dude wey dey hype dem?

And then there is meter bypass

Good evening

That's why I am asking you, where the people of France paying for Epileptic power supply before they started enjoying it for 24 hours?

You get what you pay for

We were and have been underpaying for power for decades. That's why it is so poor

But really you are here to play politics , not to discuss issues

Good evening. It's no use

So the people of France first had epileptic power supply and when they started paying for what they got it became 24 hours?

Christmyhope:

3 years preceding this administration we had a total of 14 grid collapse and just 2 years of this administration we have had 16 grid collapses and you call that an improvement What is your definition of 'improvement'.

una go just open mouth dey talk. How much do you know they pay per kilowatt of electricity in France? Compare this to what Band A pays in the Nigeria. Do juxtapose it with our national minimum wage.

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

even at this, how much is the kilowatt compared to Nigeria? Cost of electricity in Nigeria now is very high

sir, your view is wrong. Things don't work this way. You think taxing people to death automatically translates to good service. You must be kidding.

Google is there to make your comparison.

I hope you are aware the government is paying trillions of naira as subsidy for this same purpose, so tell me how it's not a profitable venture.

Oga, how much do dey pay in this France you are talking about? Àbí u think we don't have Nigerians in Europe? Everything you guys exaggerate, like we are in stone age.

Electricity is currently more expensive in Nigeria than France.

Light is back in Lagos, ogba
