IVORY2009:
The handlers of Buhari are not advising him well anofe, the economy will only suffer, and before you know it, Buhari will not be able to achieve any thing during his 4-yrs administration, he should call for peace, instead of force all the time, dis is democracy and not military system of govt.

RichYoungNigger:
And we still import Brooms, Toothpastes, Matches and toothpicks ??

Buhari
Help your people.
You know we igbos don't give a fuucck about the economy because we're the richest tribe in Nigeria.

I'm talking about the Yellow Bars and Awusa people, na them go suffer if the economy goes dead.

Mrchippychappy:
**** Use this compass to point out the North, South, East and West in that map of Africa you placed up there and then tell me if you still think Nigeria is in North Africa. The most we could say is Nigeria is located in Central Africa and even then you would be wrong to some extent but saying Nigeria is in North Africa, is this another one of your Usman Danfodio agenda?

i think we lump things together too much in this country and end up muddling up everything with little results to show for our efforts. our demand should be very clear, which are

1. supply prepaid meters so that consumers pay for what they consume

2. agitate for a reduction or resist an increment in tariff IF/WHEN there are no justification for the present price of a unit of energy or a proposed increment

3. Agitate for improved power supply both in QUANTITY and QUALITY

my point is these three items are actually independent of each other.

a. when someones says they should not increase tariff if prepaid meters are not supplied, then i will quickly ask, so they can increase tariff arbitrarily just because you have a meter? of course not! you might end up not being able to pay for the energy you need.

b. some other person says tariff should not be increased after all power supply is still poor. same question in item (a) applies as well.

my take on this issue is that the FG should compel the DISCOs to give EVERY consumer a prepaid meter. increase the tariff such that the discos can make profit and then subsidise the tariff for consumers to a value an average Nigerian can pay. power consumption is something that can easily be monitored hence corruption in the energy consumption subsidy can be managed to the barest minimum.
