I hope the salary that they are paying you to wash Tinubu's grandkids clothes will sustain you till the end of the year.

Good evening

The grace of God must find our works to bless, so we can have our desires.



Faith without works remains dead.

Do you understand what grace is?

Unmerited favour. It means you don't deserve it, but you receive it because of God's mercy.

There's a place for works and a place for grace. In Nigeria we need God's grace to have a change in our political structure next year.

Well, if you do not pay a cost reflective tarrif for power, you will pay it to the petrol station and the generator people for power. ANd you will pay more than you would have if you were all paying a cost reflective tarrif.

The people in band A are spending, overall, less on power than those who are on other bands and have to use generators and such like.

guy shutup just keep shut there... The subsidy they removed from petrol how has the masses benefited in anyway... The government will only have more funds to. Embezzle why the masses suffer from privatisation of the disco... Use ur head na... Do u know how. Much u will be paying per month as Nepa bill... U think it's a joke, how old are u self, u sure u are an independent adult with responsibilities?

nairalanda1:
Well.we tried subsidy for over 50 years, it is not working

And you still want us to keep trying it?

It shows you don't have anything.

So, you get abusive

Subsidy is ur right…. It’s not something government is trying as if they are doing Nigerians a favour … it’s how common wealth is equally balanced…

Well we tried it, it's not working , so let's try something else.

Time to change tactics .

What's the difference between band A and 33?

Been asking this question for a year now but nobody can five me an accurate answer.

If you know, enlighten me please.

Thank you.

Yampotatocarrot:
I mentioned some salient points you raised... In my current area, I am under band A, surprisingly where I moved from, a band B area have more light than this band A area, yet we pay more in this axis

That's the problem...

You rightly captured it when you said [/b]If subsidy is removed while the quality of supply remains the same, Nigerians will simply be paying more for the same poor service.[b]

These discos are ready to move everyone to band A, make them pay higher while providing very poor service... What plan does the government have in place against that?

Lastmankc:

This comment made me laugh.

BigYash:
Make you no carry this your fulishness is nter the 2027 o.

Can't you learn from the fuel subsidy removal,that has brought zero improvement in the economy?

Those guys up there don't buy fuel or pay light bills. Tax payers money is what they use for everything they do.

Stop being mentally enslaved my friend..

See, na only 4 months remain o
try u ma make ur brain self correct itself before January 1

We will continue paying for cheap, because Nigeria government can't provide cost reflective tarrifs at the moment and some years to come.

nairalanda1:
I don't believe we should pay a price that is too low for the electricity sector to pay for improvements, expansions and more staff, and make a profit that would enable them to generate more power and pay for their production costs.

We have been paying cost reflective tarrifs for sugar for forty years. It is why we have a vibrant domestic sugar industry

ANd we have been paying cost reflective tarrifs for the GSM for 20 years, or more, and it is why we have a working internet , and a working telephone sector,

Both of which employ millions.

But if you want to pay cheap electricity, then you are accepting to keep paying expensive prices for petrol and generator and diesel, when you could have cheaper with consistent cost reflective tarrifs

To say nothing of the tons of jobs that would be generated from a properly running and expanding electricity sector.


Bro, not eveyrthing is cheap. It is not a support for tinubu, make we vote him out. But subsidy for 50 years is why we do not have light.

There is a time for slogans and a time for reality.

Jakarta:
Yes it should be stopped, the current subsidy structure is making Discos very lazy and incompetent. Let's see how they will collect cost reflective tarriffs, without providing cost reflective services.

u sabi the thing jor.... Them suppose even end am since when Dem end fuel.. let the rich cry also

FG cant charge because citizens contribute low percentage overall.

Per capita is not helping matters in our region.

FG need to intervene by being transperant and implementation.

nairalanda1:
They also pay massive taxes in the advanced world to be able to afford those subsides.

Taxes that your government does not charge at those rate.

piriton:
Someone is paying 100k for light in three bedroom in a month, what will happen if they remove the subsidy. Nawao. Band A that they give us only 8 hours light in a day. Rubbish.

You folks will be moved upwards to Band A+.

END it! Enough of leaving lights on in empty rooms.

we have remove fuel subsidy. Why are the leaders still giving us excuses for fuel prize(#1200)?

nairalanda1:
And what happens when the rise in oil prices means that the N300 CANNOT cover the subsidy needed.

But since you want debt to rise, and have accepted it, make I HANDS off this matter. NO complain when tinubu takes loans, since na cheap tings you want.

Band is the tarriffs category a user is on. See it like those popular MTN tarriffs plans way back then. With Band A you are supposed to be guaranteed of at least 20 hours of electricity daily at a cost of #209.50 per KWA excluding VAT. That means on band A you will spend around #31.45 to power those giant OX industrial fan for 1 hour.

As for 33, and 11 it has nothing to do with your electricity band. 33 is abbreviation of 33KVA lines, these lines carry electricity at a very high voltage (the kind voltage wey go fit use person stone ground die) across cities to a power plant. Then 11KVA lines carry these same electricity from the plant to your transformers. The electricity is then carried to your house. 33KVA, and 11KVA are just electricity transport/distribution mediums. Your actual band (A,B,C,D,E) determines how many hours of electricity you get daily, and how much you'll pay for it

so Howfar with the petroleum subsidy that was stopped.

People like you are part of our problems

Just start buying more units than u need before tulumbu give u his reward for voting for him next year by removal subsidy on power

geoworldedu:
Why are you people announcing? We don't care anymore. If you like remove all subsidies and replace them with loans. 2027 election will settle the matter.

They keep digging their own grave.

Make we just allow them and dem deluded data boys their flights of fancy.

2027 could not come any sooner.

It is like you are not getting it, nobody is saying subsidy is bad, but it's current implementation will only bring more harm than good to our power sector. You're just being either sentimental or ignorant of the harsh reality.

Just to let you know, subsidy on petrol was not completely stopped, the government is still secretly paying petrol subsidy till date. The government didn't really deregulated that sector unlike what OBJ did with the telecoms sector.That is why there is no noticeable improvement on fuel cost and our refineries. Are you aware that people bought sim cards for 30K then? How much is same sim card today? That wouldn't have been possible with subsidy.

Yea. Its a work in progress. More things needs to be done.

Kudos.

And what will you do if they don't..... because they won't. They will simply shift the goalpost. Just wait and see. There is always a reason.

A darkness that is artificially generated.
The customers can't elevate over it, till maybe a change in FG dispensing of duties.

Hmmm, not good to say this campaign season oh. This minister na weapon fashioned against APC. How minister go promise by God’s grace, to put a stop to this so-called subsidy in the power sector. Na wa oh.

BAT followers only learn the hard way.
After all sweat and hardwork, your leaders will only turn around and betray you. They got no love for you.
