Sheuns:KEMI BADENOCH IS A BORN LIAR. SHE SAID NIGERIA "HAS NEVER HAD ELECTRICITY". TO THE AUDIENCE SHE WAS SPEAKING TO, THAT MEANS "ELECTRICITY DOESN'T EXIST IN NIGERIA". NOT THAT WE EXPERIENCE POWER CUTS LIKE MAJORITY OF THE DEVELOPING WORLD WHO COMPRISE 80% OF THE WORLD. NO. SHE DELIBERATELY LIED THAT NO ELECTRICITY AT ALL EXISTS IN NIGERIA. SAME WAY SHE LIED THAT SHE TREKKED FOR MILES TO FETCH WATER. SAME WAY SHE LIED THAT LIZARDS WERE COMING OUT OF HER TAPS IN HER PARENTS' VICTORIA ISLAND HOUSE, WHICH WAS, ACCORDING TO HER LYING LIPS, CONSTANTLY SURROUNDED AND THREATENED BY ARMED ROBBERS FIRING GUNS AT HER NEIGHBOURS' HOUSES. SHE'S VILE AND CONTEMPTIBLE. |

Kemi is always right about Nigeria, soon Teenubu will offer her a job in fear that she will keep exposing the corruption in nigeria |

nwirinedu:What are you talking about. Decent electricity which 70's, 80's or 90''s. The first generator I can remember in my household was bought sometime around '79 when we moved houses. Cannot remember anything before that. But I clearly remember NEPA 'taking light' right in the middle of Nigeria's second game at the 1985 U16 World Cup game and I cried my eyes out because no one was around to put on the genset. For years after that Saturday trips to NEPA and NITEL complaint offices was our steady diet especially during the rainy season. So please just rule out 80's and 90's at the very least, it was the same heat and hell. |

Reference:POWER CUTS ARE A DAILY OCCURRENCE IN INDIA AND PAKISTAN, AND A REGULAR TO DAILY OCCURRENCE IN VIRTUALLY ALL DEVELOPING COUNTRIES TODAY. DEVELOPING COUNTRIES MAKE UP 80% OF THE WORLD'S COUNTRIES. HOW COME NONE OF THESE COUNTRIES ARE DEMONISED BECAUSE OF POWER CUTS EXCEPT NIGERIA? HOW COME FORMER UK PM RISHI SUNAK NEVER SAID "INDIA HAS NEVER HAD ELECTRICITY"? KEMI'S PROBLEM IS BLACK SELF-HATE.. |

Kemetian:Is the hard criticism of the lack of stable power and making it a centrepiece of national advocacy demonizing the country? I don't understand. If it is a thing we cannot possibly do and is a thing we should come to expect cannot be changed then we should all agree to that and continue to wallow. But I cannot see how this country can develop if it cannot tackle electricity. And by development I mean from the basics of being able to feed, cloth, treat school, protect ourselves. There is no endeavour today that can be successfully undertaken sustainbly without electricity. Nigeria didn't invent that, the world did and if we cannot or will not quest for stable, affordable electricity, poverty will make this country untenable for everyone. You can already see the signs, the collapsing security architecture in the face of escalating criminality, all fueled by desperate poverty. |

ogolemati:Lol... Whatever makes you sleep better at night. I'm a Nigerian and will defend Nigeria whenever I can especially from people who have said multiple times they have nothing to do with Nigeria and only remember Nigeria has problems when they need to scurry favors from their slave masters. Everything is all about politics to your kind, that's the limit of your understanding and I don't hold it against you. |

ibedun:The only responsibility the average Nigerian has is to fight online, vote in same old recycled criminals and cry about bad government later, so remove anything that has to xk with responsibility. Talking about import goods, inferiority complex is our biggest problem. The average man sees made in Nigeria as trash while made in china as the God tier product. We are too lazy to be productive, entertainment is all we know. The government knows all these loop holes and they're aiding the same citizens in failing. |

We have been selling oil for decades but we still don’t have light. Corruption and greed are the cause for this. |

nwirinedu:The first power cuts started in the year 1978. Growing up in the 1980's power cuts were a way of life. People blasted NEPA well well well (I can recall reading an old Jossy Abioye editorial cartoon from the early 1980's commenting about a power cut which took place in the middle of a court session...the punchline was 'and they say the law is no respecter of persons" ![]() We used gas lanterns and kerosense lanterns. Only the sufficently rich could own a generator. Infact my family at one time had about four kerosene lanterns and one gas lantern (which provided very decent light, even better than kerosene light)...and we also had candles. As I said, generator back then was for the rich and upper middle class. And access to power was poorer than it is now. My hometown village was not connected to the national grid until twenty years ago. Only one house in the entire village back in the days had a generator, and it was owned by a relatively wealthy villager (who lived mostly in the state capital back then). And we blasted NEPA then. See the headline below. And the problem was the same. Lack of cost relfective tarrif, power theft and people doing illegal connection. Generation as at 1999 was not up to 2000 MW. For a country of nearly 100 million people. The only place that had good light in the 1980's and 90's was Abuja , which had most of its wires buried underground, and even then by 1996, power cuts were happening, and Jos, which was being supplied by Nigeria's first private electricity company..still exists today.

Reference:THE MAIN REASON FOR LACK OF CONSTANT POWER IS THAT NIGERIA HAS 250 MILLION PEOPLE. MOST OF WHOM CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR IT. ELECTRICITY DOES NOT HAVE AFRICAN PRICE AND EUROPEAN PRICE. WHAT EUROPEAN CITIZENS PAY FOR ELECTRICITY IS WHAT NIGERIANS WILL HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE CONSTANT ELECTRICITY, OR VERY CLOSE. It's the same equipment they all use! THE DISCOS CANNOT REINVEST IN POWER INFRASTRUCTURE IF THEY ARE NOT PAID BILLS IN WORLD MARKET RATES. THE FG CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO CHARGE THOSE RATES AS IT IS TANTAMOUNT TO POLITICAL SUICIDE, PARTICULARLY AFTER THE FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL. SO THE FG IS WAITING FOR THE EFFECTS OF THE SUBSDY REMOVAL TO WANE, AND FOR REFORMS TO LEAD TO MORE PROSPERITY BEFORE IMPOSING THAT NEW COST, IE LIBERALISING POWER CHARGES. THAT'S REALLY ALL IT IS... ![]() |

Kemetian:India and Pakistan have been disgraced as well.,...haha First time I heard of solar inverter was a CNN report from around 2002 on India. Same story...heat drives up electricity demand, power cuts. India's problem is the same as Nigeria...lack of cost reflective tarrifs. They even did what tinubu did re band A...got the commercial and industrial sector to pay higher for electricty...to suppsoedly subsidsie the agricultural, rural and poorer population. IT DID NOT WORK. Instead it is a financial drain on the commercial and indstrial sector, and the power sector still loses money. That is why both Nigeria and India need to remove price controls on power. (It's working in Ghana). Kemi is right. The problem with her comment is the assumption that being oil rich means you got plenty of money...people like NOI and the current Emir of Kano will tell you na lie. Saudi that everyone uses as an example is a oil rich country with massive wasteage of money and no industrial backup. So, if their oil finishes, problem dey. Nigeria does not have enough oil money But Kemi is right. Nigeria runs a two tier tarrif system, with profits made from band A supposed to cover losses from band B to e. In reality, the losses from those other bands dwarf any profits from band A. That is why we do not have light. We have a power sector that for decades has been forced to run at a loss. That is the problematic government policy in both India and Nigeria. I know you love tinubu, but tinubu is making a big mistake repeating what has been done for decades, keeping power tarrifs low to keep people happy. A leader is not supposed to keep people happy, a leader is supposed to take tough decisions that eventually would benefit all. And the price controls on power need to go. Yeah you said UK took 50 trillion from us. Good, but if we got that money back, we have so many things to fix, and even if we fix power, cost reflective tarrifs got to be charged to keep the profits running when that money finishes. South Korea got financial aid from its colonial master Japan in the 1960's...and they ran a capitalist economy so that they could keep making money when the Japanese money ran out...and also did not suddenly decide to subsidize everyhting. |

FG is always interested in religion and ethnic politics Nigeria was designed by British to fail |
| Re: Nigeria Has Oil With No Electricity Due To FG's Stupid Policy - Kemi Bednoch by Kemetian: 8:25pm On Jun 13 |
nairalanda1:This is what I'm saying. INDIA HAS THE SAME ISSUE OF NOT WANTING TO PAY COST-REFLECTIVE TARRIFS due to the large numbers of people who can't afford to pay the bill. THE INDIAN POLITICIANS REFUSE TO ALLOW IT FOR THE SAME REASON AS OUR OWN POLITICIANS. IT'S POLITICAL SUICIDE for any ruling party. No use calling all these small countries like Ghana with 20 million people whose govt can easily subsidise the liberalised costs, easing the burden on the masses. But for 250 million strong Nigeria and 1 billion strong India, it's a massive financial commitment that would cost tens of billions of dollars per annum. It's very easy when you are OUTSIDE GOVERNMENT, and it all seems so easy to fix. But when you are IN, you realise it's a real battle to bring it all together. |

ibedun:Citizens pay taxes and allow those who ask to serve them, emerge into public office and deliver their promises of making the country/ community better. Is that not how it works? Why should people offer to serve in public office and fail to do what they promised to make the country/ communities better, but continue to receive taxes from people and from companies on their behalf?

But why can't we have 360 days electricity in Nigeria. Why can't we? What type of voodoo other nations are using to provide 24hrs electricity that we can't do here. |

Ttipsy:How is the federal, state and local governments different from the people who have sovereignty and give them the power to exercise it on their behalf temporarily? How was Nigeria designed by the British to fail? How is exporting our miserably meagre resources and ourselves to Britain a sign of our rejection of their designing Nigeria to fail? Exporting even our emotions to support their league and teams. By the way, how did Britain design Qatar, UAE, India/Pakistan/Bangladesh, Singapore/Malaysia and even America to succeed but they designed us to fail despite leaving us 66 years ago to our own devices? anonimi: |
