Who is bankrolling you?
You work for any of these power companies?

You keep blaming government and customers. But you don't blame the power companies with their overestimated bills. You don't blame the power companies who refused to erect poles and fix transformers, thereby forcing customers to repair these equipments or buy new ones.
And you keep talking about 50%, which is exaggerated. Sharing same pattern of exaggeration with power bills by these companies.


It is obvious your views are being bankrolled.

Have a nice day.

what do you mean by GSM comps not providing good enough service back then? how many where they at that moment, where was the competition? What was their coverage area then?what was the tech prevelant then?
They came in with a standard, service for value, that was enjoyed then, competition came in, service packages increased, what has the power sector done to replicate this, are you getting the value u r paying for? Abeg yan better

UDUJ:


Lagos of course.

What exactly is stopping Nigeria from having 24/7 electricity and making money form it as well as stabilising the economy?

deceive urself o.
we have $6b to invest in eko Atlantic that Nigerians can't afford, billions of naira to maintain refineries that's useless, billions of naira to give to politicians as allowance but no money for electricity

Emyogalanya:
What exactly do nigerians need power for ? Where are the so called industries ? When ever you hear people shout "up nepa" the next you will hear is them don bring light make i go house. Is there any factory inside thier homes ? Its film they want to go and watch. I've seen children of school age saying "up nepa, make i go house" and i ask them what do you want go do with the light the response is always: make i go watch film na. In our days when u hear "up nepa" , you see siblings trying to out run each other to iron their school uniforms. You see neighbours who have no electric iron rushing to borrow pressing iron from any where. But these days its film , bb9ja and the rest. Most can't re call when last they iron their cloths such a shame of a people

dukeprince50:
not just PMB but all our past leaders are useless, infact PMB administration brought up the idea of nuclear energy but we kicked against it cos we are scared it will be mismanaged and cause a disaster but we forget nuclear energy is the neatest and most environmental friendly

Kaduna1stson:
Incompetent leadership, we chose a man who has never had light as he trained his cows for the past 30 years as president. Failures begets more failures.

God bless Umaru Yar'Adua

Felicity0001:

U have not been able to manage ordinary hydro power and you're supporting a dullard that knows nothing on nuclear energy, like seriously!! Are you kidding me?? Do you know what nuclear energy means at all? No wonder we have the kinds of leaders we have right now.

Blind leading the blind.

This is the question you should be asking the president Major General Muhammadu Buhari not we the innocent Nairalanders!

kikero:


Behind your big language, you want power to be supplied cheap.

With no thought for the cost of production

We are not a rich country. The corruption makes it worse.

I'll advise you to Google for the price Waterhouse Coopers report on Nigeria's power sector. Read it. It makes for some interesting facts.

Good evening.

alizma:

No prepaid metre. That is just the only reason

Farki:

If it enables it to grow then yes.

JVector:
Amend the Nigeria constitution to allow decentralization of power sector.

Let each state generate their electricity.
Encourage Private pernership in power generation, transmission and distribution.

Sack all Top Management staff in PHCN controlled power facilities to discourage sabotage during transition to Private pernership arrangement.

UDUJ:


Yes. In the estate I stay all homes have prepaid meters. If someone had told me in the past that we could get 24 hours light uninterrupted for over 4 weeks I would have said that's a big lie. It has really improved.

The only problem is the increased tariff rates just introduced.

VEE2010:
From my research, these are the major problems blocking Nigeria from having 24/7 electricity supply:

1. Repeal the 1999 constitution: The idea of the National grid policy is killing the power sector. States should be given the power to generate, transmit and distribute power to homes and industries without major interference of the central authority. Only they can regulate to some extent to avoid undue exploitation. To me, every state have their own peculiarity when it comes to power need and usages or even the means to get energy
2. Once the national grid policy is removed from the constitution, it will encourage real investors to take advantage of the market given the population of our country to explore. The national grid system driven by subsidy will not allow competition thereby blocking investment in the energy sector
3. Advocacy is well needed to educate Nigerians about the actual cost of energy which they abuse on a daily basis as they are not paying according to the level of consumption for each household
4. For us to have a stable energy supply, Nigerians should be ready to pay the commensurable amount for what they consumed. Without advocacy, Nigerians will not understand the average cost of energy per kilo watt.
These are pertinent points that must be addressed. It's more of a policy issue, once the energy sector becomes viable as it is in other climes, investors will take advantage and by doing so, there will be competition and stable energy will be achieved.

Successive administration have been working to no avail. It's not as easy as u think

We don't have the money to invest into power
