The problem with power in Nigeria has always been a money problem

Since 2013, power has been privatised. The problem with the privatisaiton however, is that the DISCOS were forced to in essence charge tarrifs that were not cost reflective...ie below the cost of power...with the result that the whole sector was not making enough money to fund improvements.

So, as a result, power supply remains poor. Yes, 125 MILLION get power...but most get it for limited number of hours.

The solution is simple...allow POWER to be sold at a profit. Also, the 40% of people who don't pay for power should start paying up. Then there would be money to fix power, and attract investment.

For further reading read this PWC report from 2018: SOLVING THE LIQUIDITY CRUNCH IN THE NIGERIAN POWER SECTOR

Pay attention to page 18 of the pdf document.

But the problem now is most Nigerians seem to, and have always thought we should get power free of charge. That's what brought down NEPA, and that is what is affecting our power sector now...and metering everyone won't solve that attitude...people will just bypass the meter.

Africa's greatest republic and its citizens are dying like chickens. Nonsense

Winnerforever:
True talk.

Nigerian Youth are a lost cause, totally hopeless.

You see a news article and instead of verifying the source, you jump on the bandwagon of lunatics.

You think the UK will withdraw their policy because a primitive baboon like Lair Mohammed is angry ? Lol.

Black man , go and borrow brain and think before you comment.

If all these is what break up means, lgbos will pick it many times over unity.

By the way why will there b a nigerian embassy in enugu after break up

I noticed the month is about to end so you must justify your pay. I really do understand.
Marriage is not by force, we want out and we don't owe you an explanation.
And for your obtuse logic/excuse, am sure you don't know the meaning of ecowas passport

nedu666:
Unfortunately for u, southerners in the north stay at a particular location. They are not spread wide and far. And there is a reason for that. So once again where exactly are these millions of lgbo people you keep shouting about. Meanwhile i challenge you to mention 10 industries owned by lgbos in the north

nedu666:
Thank God you said unwritten law. Which means it's not binding

nedu666:
Millions of lgbos. Everytime you keep shouting millions of lgbo in the north as if millions is ordinary. Thankfully i have stayed in 3 nothern cities, so kindly point out where this ficticious millions of lgbo people reside

nedu666:
And if buhari rigs the system and hands over to another fulani. What would you do?

Parachoko:
This is the first time I will fully agree with you.

Biafranboys:
Dude under international law they can still continue their business and there is nothing you can do, only a mad igbo man would want to remain in the North after break up.

They can't invest in the North anymore unless those ones in abuja

Biafranboys:
I think the person behind this moniker is a kid, did you just type this. Fulani thinking is truly backward, we don't care about your north, in few years time that place would be ravaged, for example if you won go Afghanistan raise your hand up

nlreserve:
Amotekun and ebubeagu is under the control of Fulani. The reason ebubeagu is rejected in the south east. By the way, must they form a security outfit against Fulani ? Why can't Fulani respect themselves and stop trespassing? The southern part of Nigeria is not ready for that bullshit. It is not healthy for a country. The reason the Fulani is not allowing Nigeria grow hence, the breakup.

Who told you no rigging in Nigeria? Come oo, are you for real?

But then, 2023 is even far. Fulanis would have taken over the whole of Nigeria before the next election.

nlreserve:
We can't wait for them to finish. Simple! 2023 is too far. Before then, they would have finished killing everyone not allowing their cow to destroy farm lands. After all, the police and the army works in their favour. So, what are you saying dude?

BTW, stop bringing election into this because Nigerian election is always rigged on arrival. Now that fulanis are in charge of everything, what do you think would happen? 2023 is even far though.

nlreserve:
See, OP, if you like your Fulani brothers, don't open this kind of thread again because e dey vex me. Fulani that has turned Nigeria upside down. Oduduwas are fighting for their own. Biafrans are fighting for their own. Middle beltans wish not to be with the fulanis. Why can't the fulanis want their own separate country where they can be moving freely with their cows? Is it that fulanis can not survive if Nigeria breaks up? If they knew all these, why then are they not doing the right thing? Why are they positioning themselves like they own Nigeria?

limeta:
Op said nothing about sharia up north

Op said nothing about living with people with born to rule mentality

sometimes is best to be on your own to find your self.

After sixty or so years nothing to show
Time to go it alone make new friends

That is if they will ever smell there again, you thinking is in same wave as mine

nlreserve:
since when does your vote count in Nigeria's election or you think Nigerians wanted buhari for second term? You are saying this thing like it is easy. Your election will be rigged. Is it not APC that when there is a protest, they will organize counter protest with people like you and offer you 1k and the whole motive will defeated. Nigeria can not work because of fulanis joor

thebosstrevor1:
You made some great points.

We didn't hear about fulanis until Buhari became president.

When the south gets power, all talk about fulanis will reduce.

You see the press are the reason why fulanis are the scapegoats, they produce lie and tribalise every situation in the country.
