In a country where electric power is hardly available for 2 hours in a day in most parts of the country, yet the price of the meter is prohibitively high. Smh. I'll rather use that money to buy a generator.

We don suffer for this country. These electricity distribution companies are scamming us big time.

They take a senseless fixed charge from millions of customers which translates into billions every month. Steady billions even before their normal charges.

And despite these free billions they rake in every month, they have refused to install pre-paid metres for a good majority of their customers.

Especially those living in areas that are not high brow. These people are milking the average Nigerian dry and the light made available is still a pathetic one.

Sincerely Nigeria, we need to open up the petroleum and the electricity distribution industries to serious scrutiny. Massive corruption that has crippled this country is going on in these two sectors.

The one of electricity is even worse because they are even still extorting the little the masses depend on without even providing the power.

It is no propaganda to say the economy has been badly managed under GEJ. It is a fact!

All the regulatory agencies meant to protect the interest of the public like the NERC (electricity), DPR (petroleum), EFCC & ICPC (financial and fraud), SON (standards), CBN (banks and economy), NBC (media, multichoice just dey misbahve as they like, and nothing dey happen), NCC (telecoms- these ones are a bunch of arrogant thieves), FMEnv (Environment) among other regulatory agencies have not been visible at all and are not performing optimally!

And the resultant effect is that the Nigerian people are subjected to all forms of fraudulent practises.

Soludo hit the nail on the head, when he asserted that the economy has been handed over to the people govt is supposed to actively regulate in order to protect the Nigerian people cum consumers.

I just hope they won't come and blame other people again for this their weak oversight.

#Never again will such a weak govt lead this country.

#Never again will such a bunch of excuse givers govern hardworking and intelligent people of Nigeria.


No need for further stories...
GMB/PYO to the rescue!

#Ihavedecided
aaaaaaaaaaahhhh! My pain now is not these people misbehaving,and not the catastrophy corupt govt itself, my problem is the people who know or ignorantly blind still clamouring/praising this govt continuty! Having known the nation future has been badly damaged. Is this not obvious? God while did nigerian deserve this leadership problems. Pls forgive our sin oh lord!

It's obvious that practically nothing is working in this country and yet some people keep chanting and shouting that GEJ has done well and that he should be allowed another four years.
4-years for what? Smh!
I want CHANGE! Let's try someone else!

Electricity itself is a unique and complex commodity... while the Electricity industry in Nigeria has its own intricate complexities... Billionaires have been made due to the Power challenge in Nigeria, any attempt to fix things right will be met with strong resistance in all forms.

But to me the Power challenge in Nigeria is not as worst as the Refinery challenge (Importing of refined crude oil) though both of them are confronting similar hydra headed monsters
Re: The Much Needed Prepaid Electricity Meters Now Sell For N60,000- Punch Newspaper by ElFenomeno1: 6:54am On Mar 10, 2015
Prepaid meters should be free in the first place
Consumers would never have to pay a dime for them but instead they should be subsidised by the power distribution companies and the federal Govt.
What a country

one of the biggest scam of the 21st century is the so called privatisation of the power sector. Nigerians now have to pay so much for consuming epileptic power supply.The bills they bring these days is something else imagine a three bedroom flat paying 8k per month for 5hrs of power per day. Worst hit are people without meters.
Re: The Much Needed Prepaid Electricity Meters Now Sell For N60,000- Punch Newspaper by Nobody: 7:12am On Mar 10, 2015
a lot of nigerians like to just talk and talk without thinking first. how can u blame GEJ for every mishap that happens. this country has been oil dependent before jonathan bought shoes for himself and this is what he met...a mammoth of disarray in the nigerian system and u expect him to just sleep and wake up and all is fine?

GEJ is not responsible for all of this...blame it on the stupidity of nigerian elders and youth who think of nothing but oil. things will get worse as nigeria tries to shift from an oil based to an industrial based productive unit. so expect prices to rise. dont come here showing ur stupidities on a tuesday morning.

What rubbish? Me pay that much to get a meter for them to be billing me? To make matter worse, you spend that much you don't get electricity or prompt service #mtscheeeeeeeew wished people would just ignore them entirely undecided

It is not going to get better any time soon.

Nigerians are busy pursuing rats while their houses are burning.

I can't wait for the elections to be over with so that reality will sink in. Then all the goodies must have been exhausted and shouts of Sai Buhari or GEJ2019 fail to bring food to the table.

Nobody is keen on asking important questions to the candidates. My take? Why bother. Na as you make your bed na so you go lay on it. To protest or carry placards for fuel price increase, unemployment, strikes, etc. will be a little too late then.

Yeah
You have said it all.


medamillion:
A friend of mine who has been in Ghana for a while just called me yesterday, and he said. "Guy, you guys are enjoying o". I said "how?", then he replied Nigeria is good now, I watch one advert yesterday and saw Train, Good Roads, Employment (SURE-P), even, 4500 MW of eletricity, infact I am coming back to Nigeria.

I just had to switch off my phone, in order no to embarass my country


Instead of voting out cluelessness, the gullible masses prefer to suffer and smile in the guise of "transformation" and "fresh air".

Many brainwashed TANoids will come here and say GEJ privatized the power sector; no government has ever done that, where is the light? Where is all the power plant commissioned (because of election)?

Well this is what GMB has to say;
"Shall we at home continue to live in a condition where the Power Holding Company and its successors seem only to have the power to hold us in darkness?"--GMB
