In this case....who privatised power?

Sorry....but it was not Buhari.

You can blame Buhari for many things....but not the tariff raise....especially as it was done by private companies...not by the government...based on an agreement signed by GEJ and co....when he was in power.

I hope you are aware that obj privatized power? But, no problem, just blame gej as lie Mohammed has instructed

Sorry to rain on your parade guys.....but

[size=16pt]It is GEJ.....your dear GEJ'S fault.[/size]

GEJ privatised the power sector.....meaning that prices had to go up, because government is no longer funding the power sector anymore.So the DISCOS had to get money....and it had to be tarrif raises.

Plus....the increase was a part of the agreement with the DISCOS signed when GEJ was in power.

So...stop blaming Fashola. He has nothing to do with this.

Wailers.....it is never their fault....even when it is.

foriz4u:

look @ ur neighbour and say, "neighbour, have you blame GEJ today?"

APCist with the blame games. why nor blame Jonathan for Nigerian independent too?

adipemcanis1:


Considering the fact that privatization happened when GEJ was in power.....I should say that this time,it is his fault.

Once GEJ sold the power system to the DISCOS and GENCOS.....that meant that government was no longer in charge of power.

And that meant an increase in tariffs....because the power sector was no longer being funded by government.

Hence it being GEJ's fault.

(That is why APC chieftains like Atiku were calling on Buhari to reverse the DISCO sale....but that would have led to serious legal complicaitons).

Once privatization happens....prices go up. That is what happened with the GSM thingie.

I am ready to blame Buhari for other things....but increase in tariff is GEJ's fault so to speak. (I actually think privatisaton is a good idea....but you Nigerians....APC and PDP don't.).

foriz4u:

Mr. man go get busy and stop quoting me pls... I'm sick and tired of these ur blame cultural dances... obviously u don't pay bills that's y u keep ranting and blaming Jonathan instead of get to work and fix problem at hands.

was it Jonathan that is also responsible for the low cost of tarrif in other country like the op mention? gej is to b blame for d constant increase in $ abi, for d BH as well, for d Shiites, IPOB, even for d wasteful junketting of Mr tourism n culture instead of being Mr. President abi

u have even excluded yourself from being a Nigerian bt say "you Nigerians, APCs n PDPs. blame Jonathan also for that.

nonsense!!!

I don't know how true this tariff comparison is. In South Africa where I resided for sometime, we payed about 1.5 Rands per KWh of Electricity, which is roughly about 27 Naira per KWh. My monthly electricity bill was roughly about 6300 Naira per month. I can't say of Egypt because I have never lived there...

chichiokwochi:
that one better na, i paid 5000 naira to nepa last week monday nd credited the metert sameday nd today d meter is beeping indicating that it will soon finish. JUST WITHIN ONE WEEK

gimakon:
Na change na
Personally I resort to buying inverter.

idupaul:


You are either mad or you just don't have the fear of God in U

leo1234:

How much does it cost to get a good inverter?

kay29000:
Hmm! And I recently read somewhere that we pay the second cheapest tariffs in Africa.

loadeddice:


i agree with you 100%. i was wondering N6300 for 1 month !!!!!!!!

with the old tariff i was using about N25k per month with 12hrs supply daily o! then now with new tariff, im almost using N40k per month with 9hrs supply daily.

abeg all those bio-diesel, garbage-to-light and its likes, i need una contact. im ready to try any other source of power.

grandlexuz:
Who says those are the highest rates in Africa In Cameroon I pay the equivalent of 35 N/Kwh... Sometimes higher than that, because the higher your consumption the higher your per unit charge. That is not even the end of the story. 19.25% (Tax) of my consumption is again added to my consumption. I have been on this forum for so many years and can categorically say most Nigerians complain over everything. I could not help laughing when people were complaining on a 50N charge by CBN..LOL 11 cubes of sugar costs 50N in Cameroon..

ceeceeuwa:

How stable is the power supply over there compared to Nigeria? Here we can boast of 6hours of power supply in a day that is if I am not exaggerating. My 14 months old son knows when there is power supply, and his mood suddenly swings once it is out. Is this the future we want for our children?

chinchum:
With a prepaid meter, will you be charged for the period there is no supply?

ceeceeuwa:

Certainly not! That is why prepared meters have to be supplied first before any corresponding increase...

lomprico:
This is not a country! I dont know what to call it, we pay the highest tariff in everything, dstv, telecomm, power, air fair, fuel pump price, etc.

We are living in a jungle where survival is for the fittest. Damn!

Akainzo:



You guys are confusing ESTIMATED BILLING with Actual cost of Electricity! If the 9hrs of electricity you used in the month is computed at the 16.5/KwH, even if you were to put on 30 ACs and use 20KW each hour, you be paying 20 x 16.5 x 9, which is N2,970.00

But as normal, your Disco will charge you an ESTIMATE OF PROJECTED USAGE, which could, and usually is, crazier than your actual cost. To help yourself, get a Pre-Paid Meter to ensure you ONLY pay for the hours of electricity that you enjoy.
