Politics › Re: Babatunde Raji Fashola: The Most Corrupt Minister After Buhari by SweetJoystick(m): 5:35pm On Nov 02, 2018
ZombieNation:
That's because universal metering will put an end to the exploitative billing regime of estimation which the DISCOs are raking in massive revenue at the detriment of both the GENCOs and TRANSCOs.

This is why despite several national grid collapse to zero wattage, the DISCOs still have the audacity to bring bills to consumers.

On your take that only heaven can help us in improving power supply, just know that there is money to be made by same power company executives who also are the major importers of home generators.

The irony of it all is that Nigerians are the only peoples on earth who can both afford to buy home generators and need it at the same time.

The average American can afford to buy a generator but don't need it. A Somali is in desperate need of home generators as that country's grid has since collapsed but their citizens are too poor to afford one.

The major problem of the power sector is massive corruption coupled with a centralized national grid system.

There is also a lot of politics as well, because your average consumer in say PH pays more than his counterpart in Sokoto. The Buhari govt is more interested in providing power supply freely to the north than to areas in the south where it is much needed to drive the economy. At the end of the day, a consumer in places like PH or Uyo subsidises the cost of power in places like Sokoto. We see this same skewed system in place in the downstream sector of the oil industry where the landing cost of fuel in Lagos jetties is calculated on how much it will take to transport same fuel to the most northernmost parts of Borno state.

The north is being subsidised on so many levels by the south that they can never agree to a restructuring of the current centralized system.

Idiots like Fashola exploits the south financially and patronise the north with subsidies for political gain.

It is not limited to him alone. We also have idiots like Amaechi who thinks it is more politically expedient on his part to degenerate his own region to please others.
Valid points

You may be right. I think so too. But let's not conclude, PMB may surprise us all and participate actively in the 2019 election debate or he sends VP Osinbajo who is active.

I agree with some of your analysis.

Since return to democracy, Nigeria had always abstained in the UN when voting on issues concerning Israel/Palestine. But guess what the dullard did when he came in?

Also, the dullard stoked greatly separatists agitation in Morocco when he advocated for the independence of Western Sahara.

Then add the murder of close to a thousand Shiites and other clearly Shiite oppression, then you have Iran also involved.

So what you see here is a very real alignment of erstwhile forces. At this point, it's support fuelled by geopolitics. Few decades ago, Israel and Saudi Arabia, never saw eye to eye. Infact, before now, once you had an Israel stamp on your passport, you could never enter Saudi Arabia. But things have changed now. Because of Iran, Saudi is buying Israeli cooperation and goodwill.

I have so much education to give out on this but I don't think Nairaland is still ripe for enlightened discussion.
Please give. I'm interested
