Nigerians no dey like to hear truth.

You live in a country where a large proportion of people underpay or refuse to pay their light bill in the name of poverty. Meanwhile, the power sector has been privatised, meaning the government has no hand in running it since 2014 (some will even argue sincew 2004). Only 20% of customers in theory pay cost reflective tarrifs...and all this translates to massive losses of potential profits...the sector made 1 trillion in one year, when in principle it needs 15 trillion naira in yearly investment alone, which is not possible because ...of the above issues with most not paying or underpaying.

And you guys will come and call me APC supporter for saying this, when it is common business sense that a company that does not make a profit cannot do well at all.

Even the corruption, ripping off customers by overcharging and estimated billing is because the circumstances mentioned above forces the companies to do it.

The price is not economic reflective. For a minimum wage of 70k, 209/kWh is too much

BOOZELEE:
Nawao

The nuclear countries really need to disarm

Woe to America for inventing and using a demonic weapon like this

Even while they were at it, Russia was also making theirs. Someone would have done it regardless

He is the main pastor of the church, if he isolates himself who will now run the church?

The church belongs to God. This is why I don't support one man churches. He needs to go through a restitution phase and subject himself to enquiry.

All these men going after ladies that is 10yrs+ younger, how una dey do am? Shame no dey catch una? Personally I can't marry someone that's more than 5yrs younger than me. It would look as if I am with my niece. Someone that should be calling you uncle is calling you honey? Da fvck.

Shame as how? It's neither illegal nor morally wrong

Happened years back like think that was around 2011/12.....My department and i went on an excursion at NNPC Aba from owerri.....So on our way back, we all boarded a minibus headed back to base(Owerri) having not known that the so called driver was an epileptic patient...then the road from ABA to Owerri was just a one way pass and ofcourse always busy with motorists.....My people, can't remember if it happened before the bridge or after the bridge....The driver suddenly was struck by an attack(epilepsy)....started shaking vigorously while unconsciously controlling the steering and his foot jerking on and off the pedal...Omo eh!...it took the strength and composure of the guy seated close to him to wrestle and direct the car to a heap of sand that was heaped in front of someone's compound.....that was where we crashed to a stop and everyone jumped out....People started gathering.....Only for the driver to regain himself after few minutes...He apologised sha!!

una still allow drive that mootor?

StPete:
After all the atrocities, stealing, piling up stolen wealth, deep corruption, they will all end up this way. Now strangers will fvck his wife and unknown people will eat his wealth. No sensible legacy. The average black man is a greedy bastard

Same would happen to you to though.

I am not a fan of Atiku but i think this is best for Nigeria democracy. It will give us wider scope of choice, better shot at compertence? and we wont have secession issues anymore.

Na their wahala. The purpose for which SLS spited Jonathan later became evident. It was to usher in buhari, a northern fulaniman. Everybody used their tools to deal with Jonathan, including religious and ethnic war. They've failed to realise that only God puts one in positions, not by force else, your office won't see batter days.

After they hijacked power, they now set Nigeria backwards by 50 years. A lot of people can't ride cars anymore, many homes now use firewood to cook, they now beg to eat, the masses' quality of life had reduced so much. Homes now buy lantern to light up their rooms cos electricity tariff is crazy. All these were experiences and scenarios of the pre-independence era, over 60 years ago.

While tinubu was using propaganda tools with sponsored protests, religious extremists were at it up north and some political office holders of northern extraction in his government too were busy betraying him. PWHC was able to jettison SLS's claim in their report as figures didn't match. SLS was just behaving like emefiele as CBN governor and used his office to favour his people. I remember the billions largesse to kano, during the attack. Whereas, worst cases happened down south but he looked the other way. How people forget things in a hurry. He later became emir of kano, his agelong ambition. Jega was another useless man. Today, he's holding a key position in the apc-led govt as compensation.

I've learned from Jonathan personally. Nigeria doesn't need a soft leader.I'd have put tinubu and his men in jail after charging them for treason and release them only a few weeks to the end of my 2nd tenure. Na shout him thugs go shout. Police wouid arrest and jail some of them and the rest wouid keep quiet. After all, he's the Commander-in-chief

Could push the country to civil unrest though. he wouldnt want that. People were already begining to see those men as messiahs. Doing that will only streghten their self acclaimed Heroism. At least now we know better.

Jayhome24:
Fast food not a lasting business. It will only float for 2 or 3 years maximum after that it will started declining and fizzles out.

It's a bloody waste of resources if long term plan is involve, it doesn't worth it.

Yet Chicken republic is still standing 😉

Typical Nigerian no atom of patriotism. Could that was his purpose on Earth. Those 59 people.

The religion of ancient Greece was not Christianity but worship of the gods and goddesses.

So if one is not a Christian, does that mean the person is not godly?

Nigerians are strong...

I wonder how people earning below 100k/month survive.

Are they stealing or what?

Small pot of stew, you spend almost 8k.
Beans 2k / Derica

How do you guys do it?

as a single guy earning 130k, with other side hutle pushing the total to 170-180k, after all bills i struggle to have 20-30k left. no clubbing, no hook up, no multiple girlfriends

highchief1:
umahi na Igbo man when value money pass em life.lalong na Hausa man when no want be part of those they will call when tinubu failure report card is been read.One of them has integrity the other is a coastal highway armed robber.

How can you hear a name Lalong and tag it as Hausa? Lalong is from plateau state. Thats not an Hausa state

flokii:
The Igbo Reps in NASS are not pushing for referendum for biafra but are busy pushing for another dot state that will be the size of one estate in Niger State.
No offence meant but I feel SE shouldn't have more than 3 States considering the size. Niger State should start pushing for creation of 5 more States to properly capture their interest and that of NC in Nigeria.
We'll still get to 47 States, not 37. E sure me say Northerners go create additional 2 States each for NE, NW and NC.

You sound so dumb with this right up. Do you know that some states in Nigeria are higher than sommme countries in Europe?

Spain vs Italy for Final

Spain to Win. 🏆

Italy won't get pass Switzerland

Patebere:
Zik was out of the country when d coup took place. How could he hav possibly been a victim. Remember dat d 1975 coup dat ousted Gowon took place in his absence too. Personally, I blame d executors of d coup in the south as being responsible for its failure. Had it been Ironsi was done away with, it would have succeeded. Note also that the key-people who aborted d coup were Igbos too. So if the coup was an Igbo thing, then its failure was also an Igbo thing. So let me ask u, where do d Igbos stand on this? And does dat mean that it was only the Igbos that were in the Nigerian army? For plannin a coup and at the same time forstalling it.

Clearly they were aware but were also making their own plans

Justiceganduje:
Only rich people wins case in Nigeria, so Davido is going to win.

Is the other family poor? Of course not

Sheuns:
These people throw figures around as if we can’t verify what they say. How can Binance have a turnover of $20bn from Nigeria alone? How?

These guys should be reasonable na.

Exactly. Like how much is the entire company worth sef?

y3mi:
So it's by songwriting you guage smartness. Well I'm not surprised sha... The standard of things had for a long time fell in naija, little wonder today's generation would find Ice Spice and 6ix9ine lyrical songwriting has a reflection of how smart they really are.


Isn't that how the majority of them are, but the complaint from guys and men isn't what I don't get, tbvfh!

Nope. Her lyrics are good. I won't compare her lyrics with that of shalli or portable you get

y3mi:
What made Nigerian girls into the bimbos they are, it's the society, which gender mounts and control the mechanics of the society?


Ayiti ko'fa, ifa tiin ṣẹ
This your statement just proved my previous point. If celebrities like her and Saida Boj are consider to be the smart ones by the majority of naija guys who give volumes to their following, why hell are you complaining when you don't know the likes of @funshografix who are actually female intellectuals.

Tems an Saida in one sentence. I would probably consider smart by her songwriting skills. I mean they are really good.

NIGERIA

We should all sit down and figure out the system of government that will resolve all these disparities

What about the VAT generated from the sale of cows?

We need a referendum and not an election to determine where we're going to

Do the herders pay tax for real?

greenermodels:
In Nigeria,APC would win with a landslide and tell you to go to court despite been hated by most Nigerian voters.

you lie. Did it win by a landslide in the last election?

Egypt is building a new capital with loan, they are running on huge debts, I'm sure experts like you will criticize it if it's Nigeria.

They are using it properly

Best solution is to wait until the final teams are qualified, then choose a neutral venue beneficial in distance to both teams.

We are seriously dependent on just an individual while we supposedly have 3 national refineries

NeckingNgulping:
I'm of strong opinion that if they can meter most households, and generate stable electricity, Discos will make a whole lot of money as people will always recharge and pay their bills when they're sure it will get them the services they're paying for.

When you see that your neighbour has paid and has light, you would want to pay as quickly as possible to get yours. That's just the way it is.

The parts of my state with steady light use meters and a far cry from the parts that don't use it and are on estimated billing.

The energy thieves nko?
