When celebrities like wizkid start speaking against this self centered politicians, Nigeria may become better.

Naija gals need to stop seeing themselves as slaves to men who have money.
Her statement was a weighty one that suggests that.

Wizkid is making profit from the importion of generator I guess. Lmao...when there is 24/7 power supply then that bill isn't necessary because people will definitely stop buying.

Are you guys ready to pay for the 24 hour electricty.??

Yes, the DISCOS are ripping us off, and the whole prepaid meter ish is another story. (and see this am's thread on estimated billing...darn).

But when most Nigerians don't pay their bills, and when most Nigerians use violence on DISCO workers trying to carry out their lawful duty(a customs officer actually pointed a loaded weapon at DISCO officers, and was not prosecuted for it), and when many people use the power for free...and when many Nigerian government agencies lead the way in owing the DISCOS....what do you expect?

Nigeria generates 5000MW right now. And by my estimate, we need to generate 50000MW electricity to even have something near 24 hour power (just for comparison, South Africa generates 44000MW, and even they have rolling blackouts...for about 50million people...plus they export to at least 3 other countries.)

And to improve power (forget the SIEMENS deal...generation up to 25000MW...which would not do much for a population of 200million unless they cut off wide swathes of the country)...we have to pay for it because POWER IS PRIVATIZED.

But the problem with the privatization is that prices are fixed by the government via NERC. As a result, DISCOS cannot charge the fees they need to charge to make enough profit , and thus cannot pay GENCOS the money for the gas and hydropower,, as well as raise enough cash for the TCN to improve transmission. Also, the whole price fixing is why no foreign investor wanted to come in in the first place. Who wants to come and then find you cannot make profits? That's why we have 'useless discos'.

If we want power, we have to run power as a business. Yes, we would pay high prices, but eventually prices would come down...with improved investment and funding. Let's be honest with ourselves.

shut up sir. give us light we will pay. U know how much for fuel Per week? Once again shut the hell up

That Senator is suffering from extreme phsycosis. He did not sponsor a bill mandating FG to provide average of 8hours electricity to Nigerians.

This what u get when u have wak electoral system.
