All you ignorant folks here talking like you know what happens in the UK and USA. In the USA and UK foods is very cheap. Food there is nothing. Have you heard of food banks? They give food for free. I personally use to do dumpster diving in those days as a student (Google dumpster diving) come see fresh food na that people no longer need. My fridge was usually full with all kinds of foods... Light bill, water bill, etc that is the Koko. You go pay tire!!! It's only in Nigeria I see so much ignorance.

So people don't pay light bill in nigeria, you know how much is rent of a house that has borehole in nigeria

You how much is wifi subscription in nigeria

You know how much is ilorin to Ibadan now

Let food be even cheap in nigeria and let others over cost

Atleast


Wicked supporters of evil

Cruise777:
Rent and utilities na the Koko, not food

Even homeless people get free food

Is rent, utilities cheap in nigeria

nairaland has turn to gutter, see ludicrous post that reach fp

Is tinubu not standing in front of some people too even oynbos

And moreover who can't see tinubu there

nairalanda1:
It does not matter. They are poorer than us. By rights the government should subsidise fuel for them, but they won't. Because if they do that, the refinery would lose money, break down, and they would have to import...and again they are poorer than us, and do not even have up to half our forex earnings or even one quarter.


We have tried subsidy for 40 to 50 years. In that time we went from two working refinereis to four damaged and money losing refineries.

The same thing with power supply.

The things cost money. You can call me oppressor, apc supporter, tinubu supporter, but when you do price control and subsidy, the affected industry loses momey, corruption sets in, and production falls drastically.

The only countries that can do some form of subsidy are countries like Saudi that have ten times our revenue, and a small population of less than 50 million people....or countries like Russia that have a diversifed and industrial economy that can charge enough to pay for the subsidy.

Not Nigeria where the federal budget was 22 trillion. Meanwhile if we kept the subsidy as it was at the begining of the year, it would have eaten more than half of our budget. Last year we spent 10 trillion on subsidy. This year it was already 6 trillion by May, and NNPC was still owed 2 trillion naira.

At the end, we would have worsened our already bad deficit.


See the problem.

At the end, the poor suffer more. If subsidy worked...we would have been a rich nation. It has not obvuously. And it is sad the government still keeps it.

Lord knows, I wish we would have kept subsidy. But if we kept fuel at N65 per liter today, subsidy costs would be over N800 per liter up from N35 in 2011 December. The money would come from loans and other parts of the budget.


Amyway, in most people's mind, I am a tinubu supporter for seeing this. When I opposed Tinubu and Buhari in 2012 when they were doing that occupy Nigeria nonsense...because i woke up.

You believe all those figures they quote as subsidy expenses

Lolzzzzz

You guys can do better.

Ibadan alone is greater than the entire southeast.

Before southeast will near one tenth of Southwest achievement, it will take a century

How can Ibadan be greater than the whole se

Is that how deep tribalism has eaten you, Abi you are paid for silly comments as such

Deliver yourself from chronic tribalism

Don't think cos this NL is faceless, from the abundance of your mind you speakth

Even from your profile people can decipher you

Still the help you seek can be given to you by a se

nairalanda1:
Yes, but they all have to charge market price first, not 'cheap' prices.

The point of all my argument is that power and petrol are businesses. Government has not been running them as businesses.

When you do price control in the name of helping the poor, and paying subsidy to cover the resultant loss, you drive away investment and cripple the industry. At the end, you get depleted production, corruption, inept management, and so forth...and the poor still don't get helped.

(I mean , if you starve a primary five pupil that was taking first before, him go still take first next time?)


Niger Republic has no fuel subsidy, they are selling fuel at N1000 and above per liter, and they have one working refinery. Yet until this coup they had, they were exporting fuel to three African nations . Nigeria included. Because when you run your industry at a profit, you become a master of the trade. When you run let the poor breathe polices., you get shitty industries.

Niger rupblic don't have enough crude oil

But why should govt not consider the poor, is that not why they are govt

Though it may not be price control and it may be

For me there's nothing wrong in subsidy

CrossRhodes:
I didn't know that's the job of SSA

What's now his work

How much is davido giving Israel that he's prostrating

Moreover this ajuri

The money he has seen since May 29 2023 his immediate family altogether might not have seen it

nairalanda1:
At the end letting the discos charge their own prices stimulates competition

Not letting them do so means massive losses

Letting other parties especially foreign firms will stimulate healthy competition

nairalanda1:
So how did the PDP government give us the GSM services you are using to type this?

They allowed the GSM service providers to set their prices which in turn enabled them to give us better services thanks to the high profits they made.

By the way,most Nigerians back then did not like the way MTN and co were charging high prices.

The power sector has been hobbled with price setting by government. From 2017-19, Buhari even prevented them from raising prices

Meanwhile from 2017 to 19 cost of gas was rising. Cost of maintenance was rising. Yet power companies could not raise prices.

Even now they are not allowed to run at a profit.

Result, three of the discos are now run by the banks who loaned them money and one of them is run by government

Oga, if you are running a business and you are not allowed to set your prices, your business will fail. There would be massive corruption and looting. That is why we don't have light, because the government thinks that by setting prices for power, the sector would prosper. That's an oxymoron if there ever was one

When mtn was charging high as a business who want to make excess gain, competitor reduced it

If they increase price people go else where

That's good for consumers

Well the disco thing is controversial

I read ago that their licence has expired, what's happening

omohayek:
Nothing is going to happen. The fundamental problem with Nigeria's power sector isn't equipment, which is easy enough to buy abroad, but the structure of the market itself. Power distributors (DISCOs) aren't allowed to charge enough to recover their costs, which means they can't afford to pay the generators (GENCOs) for the power they are given to distribute. The end result is that neither the GENCOs nor the DISCOs have the money to do even minimal levels of maintenance.

As much as it may pain certain tribal warriors to hear, Fashola was right that the solution isn't rocket science. The problem is that the solution isn't what the masses want to hear - they need to pay what it costs to generate and distribute power, not what feels "fair" to them thanks to an inflated sense of entitlement stemming from the "oil boom" years of the 1970s when Gowon, Murtala and Obasanjo were dishing out "awuff" in the forms of subsidies of all kinds.

Sadly, Tinubu has been so spooked by the backlash from his attempt to cancel the oil subsidy that he clearly lacks the guts to take any major steps in this direction (how could he, when he doesn't even have the courage to let the CBN fight inflation with higher interest rates). All we can expect for the next 4 years is lots more meaningless agreements like this one, while the fundamental issues are left unaddressed.

So how much should disco charge?

You talk as if you are both an apc govt member and disco owner

Discos a private firm want to charge for poor service, when they are not making gain why are they reluctant to drop the service



Stop giving useless govt alibi

Govt that can't tackle security, free concurrent list manage simple infrastructure

bestman09:
The same power deal they have been using to scam the nation. Same format, different approach.
Meanwhile, where I live in Apete, Ibadan, we hardly get 5 hours of light in a week, not days.

If you want constant light in Ibadan move to akobo, bashorun axis

GENES11S:
He is saying the truth. Unless you live in the cities, things like ugwu leaves, pepper, yams (to some extent) are easily farmed.

Pepper and ugwu don't even need much land. Just a small space around the window will do.

I don't buy yam unless seasons when I travel to the cities.

Therefore he should complete the sentence by only referring to people who don't live in the city

Also he mentioned 250 tubers

Lolzzzzz

Awon exagerrators

MrColdsweat:
The yorubas killed this country.

You don't mean it

bestman09:
You are trying. I've stopped buying yams because I discovered that rice seems cheaper. A N1700 tuber of yam will not serve my family twice whereas a kilo of rice at the same price will be cooked 2 times.
We're all economists in this nation now

Na rice you go dey eat daily

Soon children will complain

royalfly:
Ordinarily every average Nigerian Home is suppose to be able to provide 250 tubbers annually. We need to really check where we getting it wrong. I wonder why average Nigerian homes still buy pepper a d ugu leaf. We need to check ourselves truly.

Talk is cheap

Yam that doesn't undergo processing, like rice, wheat etc is this expensive

That's readily grown , is this expensive

You can you involve a 3rd party business advisor too

corporate governance

The word fits, and many private firms maybe not only in nigeria have very poor corporate governance.

Musa95:
Are you Muslim? Then you are a fool. Isa alaihi Salam is our prophet and Prophet Muhammad pbuh is our last prophet who completes the word of God because the Quran is the last and complete (final) book of Allah. Also according to hadiths, Imam mahdi pbuh would ask Isa pbuh to pray before he deals with this unbelievers..

How stupid of you to mock Jesus (Isa) may Allah forgive you. The person you replied is misguided and so are you. Ask Allah to forgive you. Isa (Jesus) was never gay and he never married and according to hadiths he will return with Imam mahdi against the Dajjal and he will live a normal life after they win over Dajjal and his armies.

It's better to ignore a fool than to be one with him. Take correction.

Oga
