We're going into 2026 - 66 years with no plans to improve power. Soon Nigeria would be 70 years still celebrating darkness

This power problem is not going to be solved in the next two generations. It's gonna take at least a century.

Someone should explain this collapse in detail. It will give Nigerians an idea of times to expect it. Secrecy won’t kill us in the country. Okay, the grid has collapsed once again. What next? Na my pocket go feel am. Diesel cost.

Shameless Animals yet they claim Giant of Africa

When everyone pays cost reflective tarrifs, the grid will work in record time

Ivory coast used to have grid collapse on a regular basis, then in the early 1990s they essentially privatized their power sector and allowed cost reflective tarrifs.

And it's not like they are rich people

Today the only ivorians who remember grid collapse were born before 1990. Power supply is good for those on the grid

If anyone dare criticise the government ineptitude their people will turn it to ethnic biases.
They will say that you're attacking their South West president, but they forgot that this same man didn't see anything good in Jonathan's administration. He criticised everything and anything Jonathan did.

Just imagine a country struggling to stand on it's feet with patry 5000 Megawatts and it's even collapsing every Eke market day.

It is well.

The truth is how can 4000mw be enough for 250 million population. Fashola lied to Nigerians,10 years of APC, we have not crossed 5000mw. Adelabu is incompetent.

The solution is in our hands.

Na God go punish you

duduade:
This minister of power Adelabu or so

Error ni bọbọ yi

I can bet my last Kobo that the is somewhere in Ibadan scheming for his unbending Governorship ambition..

The man is more concerned about Oup politics than fixing the power challenge we experience on daily bases.... His appointment as a minister of is a BIG ERROR...

Only God knows how many times Nigeria national grid is collapsing 😉, God abeg o

As it was dancing sekem before going off I knew it has collapsed again.

Racoon:
Another collapse again? God what really is the problem with the incompetency of this man sef? Terrible country with mofos administering it @all levels.

The only thing the minister of power can do is to make everyone pay cost reflective tarrifs and also get the law enforcement to jail any one stealing power.

Because revenues from tarrifs are not enough to pay for improvements as most people don't pay cost reflective tarrifs and many steal power by bypassing meters or refusing to pay at all

So upon the subsidy removal by this clueless government, no difference from the government wey no remove subsidy?

Power subsides were only removed for band a people, who form less than 20% of consumers

Everyone else is on subsidized power

Ultimately this means the power sector can't make a profit to pay for improvements, even to pay for gas for the power plants

Power theft by consumers doesn't help much either

What brought about the power supply collapse? all the Southern States regions power gas supply lines has been opened and gas supplies to the power stations has been removed by the South South terrorists groups, this was according to Oshogbo National power control center reports.

MrNipplesLover:
The number of times the grid has collapsed under Tinubu is more than the collapses in Nigeria's record since 1962...

Ironically, grid collapses were more under previois administration

This year, we've had 4 grid collapses

The below illustration shows how it was before. 2010 was bad

Only if people pay cost reflective tarrifs and government punishes power theft consistently

Any benefit surrounding extraction from the masses is always a lie.

When we remove subsidy, these are the benefits...a lie

When we move you to band A, these are the benefits ...a lie

If we tax you to death, these are the benefits...a lie

morikee:
Hmm and we are been charged for premium price on Band A while not getting the promised 20hrs supply

Kharol1234:
Everytime National Grid collapsed since on the 23rd no light still now

And the Grid only collapses during Christian festive period not the other way round

Nothing and I mean absolutely nothing has ever worked since APC ascended power. It would even have been better if the country was on standstill. But no, APC brought destruction and retrogression.


One can only laugh when the nincompoops here call themselves progressives.

Folks like you don't like believing in the truth, which is why you have apc ruling over you.

And why your response is very lacking

Under GEJ, power supply was awful.

Below is the grid collapses from 2010- 24. They happened more frequently under GEJ.

Does not make biahri and tinubu better o.

Power supply is worser than ever.. Thank God for Sun king Power solar... Installed before it sky rocket ,.. Thanks to Tinubu government...


No single drop of electricity this December..

Just too poor...

Inspite of the fact that subsidy on electricity tariff was removed, making us the consumer to pay more, yet this incompetent govt cannot deliver electricity to us.

Is it when you increase tax that we will now see the dividend of this useless APC govt in power? Nope. Not at all.

The Chinese psy cheap for power and they have uninterrupted power supply.
Stop looking for examples in areas that fit your pro elite narrative..

Yes because most Nigerians don't pay band a tarrifs. That means that anu profit made from band a users is cancelled out by losses sustained from the majority on the other bands

Imagine owning a provisions shop where only 20 percent of your customers pay full price for what they buy, the rest pay half price and a quarter take your goods without paying. Your shop won't make a profit to run well/keep it a going concern.

Same thing happens in our power sector. Profits are so low that it is a struggle to even supply band a people .

Well they all pay, no one bypasses their meters or steals power and china is an industrialized nation that earns massive income , and then taxation is premium

Nigeria is a resource dependent nation with limited exporting industry, only ten million out of 230 million pay tax, 60% of metered consumers bypass their meters and most consumers refuse to pay, underpay or are on massively subsidized tarrifs which the government due to low revenues and corruption struggles to make up. All that adds to massive losses which means that power supply can't be fixed that easily

China is even moving towards more cost reflectiveness by the way re tarrifs.

Yeah , not the same, sonny

Minister of power after raising tariffs like someone on steroids has to be the worst person on Tinubu’s list. The power sector has not gone into anything meaningful, rather we have receded and now in the abyss of darkness!

Band A is a fraud

Very yeye people
