Obi will have answer to your question, he was a chieftain of PDP and even contested as VP under same party, the party some people slaved for for 23years

Tinubu will silence the opposition with his excellent performance.

Many who have never experienced development since they were born are now seeing real infrastructural development.

The cry of neglect and marginalization by the past government leading to them running to other regions will subside now that Tinubu is taking development into their hoods and villages. In the next election they will know performance is not about reeling out figures and regurgitating archaic economic theories.

If e no dey, e no dey, if they cant make impact in small state, they don't deserve bigger responsibility. Follow who sabi road.

This is for discerning mind who understands economic indices and not for the follow follow who only echo beer parlour gist spread by illiterates and graduates of miracle centres

And you are in Band D and E and know the 'truth '?
Many of you are so dishonest in your feedback that it beggars belief to think of what you really want aside bad for every one.

I know folks in that band and know they pay far less and recieve electricity for certain period of the day and it's constant. I equally know people who protested being moved to band A because they don’t want 24 hour
electricity.

Come to my area in Lagos and see what Nigerians are going through..

An area that could boost of up to 20 hours power supply daily presently is not sure of seeing 10 hours of power supply monthly..

Funny thing is this mess started when Adelabu became the minister.

Electricity supply has remarkably improved so much that it's now 24 hour constant for weeks!

Stop this unpatriotic act of running down the country to satisfy your itchy ears for bad news. When government does well, you will not die if you acknowledge it.

I hope an incompetent staff will not again turn the wrong valve and damage the equipment.

What exactly have they not done , some months ago a particular yoruba film producer decided to narrate the Igbo apprenticeship system on movies, I have forgotten the name of the movie and the whole igbo nation kept quiet as if nothing was happening. Later an igbo girl (uzoart)tried to do an art exhibition titled Owambe and all hell was let loose.

There was even an obi of Lagos whose only crime is that he tried to raise money for a cultural and village centre in festac , he has been arrested but the same thing is being done by yorubas in the east and no body is raising dust.

Please yorubas do your very very very very worst



Let the yorubas do their very very very worse please

PDPdestroyer:
I don’t know of other parts of the country but here, power is no longer an issue since we moved to band A. Na you go tire for light sef

Kastonkastroll:
And so? This is purely a promotion advertisement for the super eagles and anybody can do it during this afcon as long as you have the money.

Every little thing una don run go post for social media just to get engagements. What a generation what a time.

Miramonica:
Why can't FG and national assembly decentralize power generation, let every state generate it's power for her citizens and sell excess power to neighbouring states.


If power generation and distribution is decentralized, power outages will be a thing of the past in Nigeria.

Everytime system collapse...nawa for this disgraced country.

I pity wailers and Bitter Obidients, you would soon realize that Tinubu na your father's father.

68% of metered electricity consumers bypass their meters

bentenny:
But why haven't some states started building their own independent power plants to serve their states?
Several states like Lagos,abia state have started their own and it's already operational!
Bayelsa state is about to complete their independent turbine!
So why are most state governors not trying to provide electricity for the states through the construction of IPPs esp with the decentralization of electricity to states law?

nairalanda1:
LOL...we can remove the minister of power, we can even replace the minister of power with Trump or Putin, and the power supply would still be bad because MOST nigerians do not pay a cost reflective tarrif.

I keep saying this, when GSM came to Nigeria, there was no GSM backbone in the country, talkless of internet. All we had was the nitel landline system which was wack already. But because Obasanjo said that GSM companies should be allowed to charge cost reflective tarrifs, and only because of that, many GSM companies made the profit that enabled them to do good service, enjoy home internet and so forth,(Of course, the fact that you cannot use a phone unless you pay some money into it, and even if you want to only recieve calls, the line would be disconnected eventually if NO PAYMENT IS MADE).

Meanwhile power companies came around in 2013. GEJ as many people say was a kind and listening man. But to run government, you also have to be realistic. GEJ finished the privatisation of power, but also brought in price controls, and subsidy. BY 2019, a KwH Of power cost N30 Less than what it took to produce it. NOwadays for most people it costs about N100 Less than what it takes to produce it...unless you are Band A...which are 20% of consumers.

Additionally, all the bad habits we did with NEPA...we brought with disco. Bypassing meter...60% Of people bypass their meters (That is for those who shout that if we meter everyone, they will pay without ceasing! ). Refusing to pay, or underpaying...and even those who pay, most pay the subsidised price, and meanwhile government is strugging to pay the subsidy, because the cost of production is rising, because gas prices are not STATIC.

And what do you expect is the result...

A POWER SECTOR THAT DOES NOT AND CANNOT MAKE ENOUGH OF A PROFIT TO PAY FOR IMPROVEMENTS

Yet. tell people on nairaland this truth...they will call you APC supporter, data boy, Agbero, etc. (Apparently believing a business should make a profit is tantamount to supporting APC...no wonder many businesspeople support APC..Lol..). Or they will call you a liar. Like someone who brought newspaer report saying a disco was punished for overcharging consumers...WHAT THE EFF DO YOU EXPECT? When most consumers ARE NOT PAYING WHAT WOULD BE SUFFICENT TO MAKE A PROFIT....THINGS LIKE RIPPING OFF CONSUMERS WHO DO PAY TO AT LEAST BREAK EVEN HAPPEN.

Yes, your refusal to pay cost reflective tarrifs...is why discos are ripping off consumers. Your government's refusal...yes, TInubu's refusal to enforce cost reflective tarrifs for all, is why discos are ripping off consumers. And the fact discos cannot make a profit is why most of you STILL HAVE TO BUY YOUR OWN POLES AND TRANSFORMER, AND WIRES!

Truth is not accepted in this country, that's why we have bandits disturbing us, and UGM tormenting us, and kidnappers in the forest.

Resign & apologize? una can funny well well.

seunjungle1:
That minister is very clueless, no light at all here....Karu transmission had to be one of the best transmission in FCT before...now turned to rubbish.
That Mr Adebayo Adelabu is not part of Renewed Hope at all...
The funny part of
it is that he's from my state eyeing next state governor....you know go enter...present representation shows that you have nothing to offer the good people of Oyo State

Nazgul:
I honestly thought I was the only one noticing this. Power supply has dropped drastically, and it’s becoming unbearable.

Since this week, we haven’t even had up to 6 hours of electricity in a whole day. It comes briefly, disappears, comes back for a short while, and then goes off again. Sometimes you don’t even know whether to switch appliances on or just forget about it entirely.

What makes it more annoying is the government’s incompetence in handling the power sector. They are very quick to increase electricity tariffs, and push everyone into Band A without their consent, but extremely slow or completely unwilling to provide stable power. We keep paying more for darkness.

Businesses are suffering. People working from home aren't findet funny cos the heat this period is unbearable. Yet, the same government will come out and tell us to be patient.

Patient for how long?

You can’t keep increasing tariffs when supply is getting worse. that’s exploitation. If they can’t guarantee reasonable power supply, the least they can do is stop piling extra costs on citizens who are already overwhelmed.

Electricity is not a luxury, it’s a necessity which every reasonable government should provide for its citizens.

MilesMaxwell:
Is it the reason why there's epileptic power supply?

The power supply this time around is really bad
