Grid dey collapse because Disco wan satisfy them with nonexistent power. Major cause of collapse is when you try to draw more than available power. It's impossible so rather, the frequency drops and grid collapse

Politics / Re: Lagos-Calabar Road: Outrage As Umahi Proposes ₦‎1,500 For cars, Truck ₦‎5,000 by ubox: 9:03am On Apr 12
Sibetolo:
Before 2003, I used to drive from Lagos to Makurdi with 2 stop overs at Okenne, and Ayingba or Otukpo in 8.5 to 10 hours or through Benin Enugu 9th mile in 9 hours. I used to drive Lagos to Abuja via Benin or the Akure-Owo- Ibilo ( notusing the present Akoko route) in 7 hours max. Lagos -Kaduna - Kano was 9 hours - 2.5 hours. Benin- City - Abuja was 4.5 hours Then the road were fairly good, this was about 3 years after Obj removed toll fees which stood then at 100 naira-150 per every 80-100km. I would rather pay extra 6000 for a 600km at 1k per 100km journey than subject myself to what is going on presently with bad roads, spoilt suspensions, shocks and weakened chassis, protracted journey time and heavy fatigue amongst others. As at this morning a 55 minutes flight from Abuja to Benin is 128k on one airline and 181k economy on another. Please not everything we blow our top. Abeg. Although 3k per 100km is scourching sha.

It's 1k5 for cars
5k for trucks

Wake up from your slumber, FG is not and can never subside $ again no matter who is the president. The lower the demand for $ in the market, the more our Naira will appreciate.
Don't also forget Dangote refineries is selling his products in Naira. Once he starts selling PMS, our currency will appreciate further as the demand for $ to import PMS from overseas will vanished!
That's $20.7billion pressure for petroleum imports gone

The thing is no other country needs the naira. We export very little meaning our foreign exchange earning isn't much. So where will you get he dollars to import that rice, beans and yam. You will use 2k to buy a cup of rice at the end of the day. The solution should be for the government to buy food items from farmers then subsidize It for the citizens. That's short term fix.
