There are and any price intervention is not like Nigerian one whereby price is cut below the production price

Also if you ran a business and 20% of your customers did not pay and 60% underpay you, you won't have much of a business.

Better accept the fact that things cost money..you don't have to support any politicans to see that

Govt dont run their affairs solely on business motives....
Its a standard practice all over the world...
Developed world intervention schemes are based on
transparency, trust and mutual understanding...
Govt playing their roles... citizen pay fair prices for services..
whilst coy also play their roles....
Our system is a chaotic one, with fraudulent practices from coys..
Shifting estimated bills to citizens... citizens purchasing transformers ..
poles and wires and still getting charged without reimbursements...
A system plague with poor regulatory oversight... and corruption...
Things cost money ....
but it is important to have a level playin field for all participants.
It is the masses that is at the receiving end of these game.

[quote author=nairalanda1 post=135683808]You guys should stop telling yourselves that the elites are taking all the money, especially since most of the discos except one are owned by politicians.

The real issue is government controlling electricity prices which prevents profits and investment and people not paying their bills, tinubu inclusive [/quote

There is no serious coy in Nigeria..
that politicians dont have interests...
Either in the books or off the books..
There is no economy in the world that leaves prices solely to
market mechanism...
U can educate us further if you know of such country...
Govt always have various intervention schemes...

1. The price increases are necessary, as electricity is expensive after all

2. There are still losses. Due to lack of payment , shortfalls of18- 22% are still present

Add the fact that only 20% of the customer base in theory pays market price

3.Yeah, they collected 792 billion naira in three months. Nice until you realize that the sector as a whole needs 15 trillion naira annually to guarantee 24 hours light supply to the people on the grid at the moment

4. At the end, we should stop longing for free electricity and accept that it is an expensive thing. South Africans have constant increase on power bills and they can't afford them and power cuts still happen there.


All in all, we can't have free electricity. Any government that promises simple solutions to our power problem is lying. Like apc did with fashola and rocket scientific system. It is going to take a lot of money and a lot of investment and people paying market price and those whom cannot afford getting cut off before we see power

And yes we can do power free of charge. USSR did it, at the expense of a debt that added to other debts left them in bondage to the IMF and led to it's collapse.

You can call me a apc supporter or use ad homiens, or you can acxept the bitter truth. In 2013 , I was forced to accept the bitter truth.

Most of the money for investment...
still go back to the pockets of the elites(politicians)...
Whats the whole essence of paying for something that get squandered in the long run.
Thats has been the cycle since 1960...

Streetinvestor2:
The people of this state can not allow apc and this governor happen again to them.The man used catholic priest to scam them in the last election

I can say....
He is far better than most of his predecessors..
Ortom, Suswan and even Akume...
We have the full presence of the Navy, Army, Airforce
and their bases in Makurdi...
What exactly do u want the Gov to do if our security combined forces
cant perform ....
.

pocohantas:
Una dey really marry o. Shuoo!!
All this from a wife?

You two need to be calming down.

Not having a womb....
Knowing she cant give birth again...
And still diabetic ...
These are real issues....
Knowing for a fact that..
Oga will still go out and impregnate on girl... one day!
Op is still threatening her with divorce...on top...
Madam has no stake in this marriage....and nothing to loose...
Try and work on surrogacy or adoption... that should lighten things up a bit..
Sincerely...Op need lot of patience and prayer in this marriage...

Mpeace:
Q1 dividend. Tomorrow is public holiday. Payment was to be tomorrow.

That stock can pay dividend ehhh.

They will start gas production from their ANOH plant here in Imo state, by next month.
There has been alot of activities around the plant recently.

Massive plant

Seplat na dividend machine...
I don add NDIF to my portfolio....
I hope Aradel will also follow quarterly dividend soon

DeepSight:
The removal of the subsidy was a bad decision but the simultaneous floating of the naira was worse.

What should have been addressed was the corruption in the subsidy regime..

.

Thanks for this...

There is simply nothing wrong with Subsidy...

Its the Nigeria version laddened with corruption that is the problem.

Instead of BAT to tackle the corruption aspect with the Elites.

He shifted the burden on the Masses... We should take the pains....

zero8zero:
I'm just looking at this picture and imagining the long stretch straight to Lagos, O boy. I don't think anyone else can beat this legacy.

10 years after ...
This road will become dilapidated filled with potholes
Successive govt will struggle to fix it..
Thats the story of all the major roads in Nigeria..
We need to move to rail transportation...
Its faster...cheaper... and affordable for the masses..
Lagos Blue Line transports 2.37 million passenger in 15months...
It also reduce the stress on existing roads... makin them last longer ....
Reduce rural urban migration...
Masses will me from urban areas to rural areas sine there is an effective rail system.
It will also ease up transportation of agric produce around the country at an affordable price ..

babakb:
Nigeria is home to one of the most poorest people in the whole world so I don't know where you want women to make this money from.

There are lot of places women can make money...
I will list some here ..
Trading local stocks on the NGX
Trading foreign stocks using a foreign app...
Buying land and resell few years along the line...
Sincerely.. these are simple ways to make money without stress...
Just patience and some good capital should do the magic

Angelindisguise:
Just pray you don't experience such kind of a child or guardian. I have one at home, she steals ( not small money o...) lie, all sort of evil. Even attempted to rape a neighbor's child.

We have taken her for counseling, healing and all. We have resorted to rehabilitation center now, hopefully it will help.

Just pray you don't encounter such kids, it's a very bad experience.

The funny thing is, she's not the only child staying with us but she's the only one that is a problem. They are all treated well and catered for but you see this one ( she has the spirit of greed, and ojukokoro)

Pls dont give up...
This is not easy ...
Also invest in consistent prayers...
It works ..but you must learn to stay ..in the secret place

MufasaLion:
It's their lousy lifestyle that gives them away. I always tell people that you can't be living an extreme luxury lifestyle in an environment that most people can't basic things. You'd stand out and that will make you vulnerable to being arrested, killed or harm.

With #124m liquid cash, you should be able to set-up a solid business that will be generating nothing less than #500k or #1m for you daily. There are many ways to launder money while you maintain a normal lifestyle, be discreet and get connected.

The rule of illegal money is never to own any assets in your name...

Putindbutt:
And Tinubu does not have following?. A man that helped install an Emir in Kano looks like a joke to you?. Tinubu won SW, NC, NW, Atiku & Obi shared the remaining three zones. This time around, Atiku & Obi will only share SE.

Tinubu that cannot win Lagos...
Losed woefully in Osun ...
And Makinde, a PDP Gov had to help in Oyo State
has a cult following ?

Putindbutt:
You cried hunger, killing, islamization, fulanization in 2019, Buhari still won. Your religious sentiments you used in Lagos is dead this time.

Buhari and Tinubu are different..

Buhari has a cult following in the North..

As CPC presidential candidate... Buhari votes dey fear candidates...

Tinubu has to beg the Governors in the North to help him to win..,

Tinubu needs the North to win the Presidency!

Thats the raw fact

TimeManager:
Elrufai is like a fly that is following a dead body inside grave. The combination of beating he will collect in 2027 will enter into Guinness book of world records. He said he wanted to teach Lagos how to end godfatherism but it is his own successor in his state that is showing the people of Kaduna how to end Elrufai's godfatherism in Kaduna. Another man in Kwara that said he wanted to reduce Tinubu to an ordinary citizen, we know how Otoge tsunami blew him away in Kwara. Even Atiku, in Adamawa, the Governor has divided the Emirate and cut down Atiku's influence. Talk is cheap, you can talk from now till 2027 but remember Tinubu no dey talk, he acts.
-Kiss the truth!

Tinubu lost Lagos...Osun...
It showed he can lose with the right viable candidates...
The North determines who becomes the President........
People may vote APC in their local election
And switch to their candidate in the presidential election...
Hunger,starvation ... tax policies are biting hard on every state...
Hunger and anger are 2 dangerous combinations.
Cut Tinubu votes in the North....
He is a goner ...

helinues:
I was expecting you to dispute Gana's story

I am telling u people that i know ..
were kidnapped this last week ...
lives in Makurdi State capital
and their farms are closeby in the state capital..
If Tinubu cant rescue those in state capital...
Whats the fate of those far flung LG and towns...
Gana case is almost 5 yrs ago...
This is the current reality

helinues:
I may not have visited any part of Benue state but I have been following Benue insecurity crises even before Gana was killed

Gana used to be a mercenary ready to work with any of the party who can pay him more

U cant know more than the locals...

Following news is different reality from whats on ground

helinues:
Benue's case is mostly reprisal attacks. Those who are involved can't deny that.

So are those involved waiting for the presidency to beg them to stop before stoping decades old back and forth fighting?

Pls which town or LG did you visit in Benue

That you are calling a reprisal attack ?

helinues:
You can't solely blame the irresponsibility of the Northern leaders on president Tinubu, or any further Nigeria president

Do the Northerners sponsoring the unrest in their own region expecting outsiders to beg them before they stop creating unnecessary hard life for their own people?

Which kind of political game are they playing that they have turned their own people to pawn.

Crying shouldn't make one to be blind

Tinubu said ..its my turn ...
So he should do his job as Mr President...
Thats what we vote him to do ...

helinues:
All what you listed above , the government have been working on them, infact reducing the rate self , hunger, poverty, unemployment

Some imported products have been discouraged so that we can start our own production, most especially in food sector. Price of food stuffs have been crashing for months now, starting our own production is indirectly creating job opportunity

The new government establishments across Nigeria, the workers or labourers to build the establishments are Nigerians, after completion, the staff that would gin employment are Nigerians.

Most sectors in Nigeria are now independent to make their own decisions. Aviation, immigration, electricity e.t.c

Pls tell Tinubu to deal with insecurity...
Come to Benue..
everyone has abandoned their farms as a result of insecurity ...
Pls tell me what policy will work when there is no one on the farm..

helinues:
Though it may be hard to believe but the insecurity in North is reducing. So many IDP camps have been closed.

Whatever excuse you might want to give, hunger, starvation, they were there before president Tinubu.

Bros

Relocate to the North first then you can talk as someone on ground...
I just visited a pensioner and his wife that was kidnapped on the rice farm just last week
They use their pension money to pay for the ransom...
The job of Mr President is to improve a bad situation...
And not to worsen the whole scenario again

helinues:
Dey play..When there are unprecedented projects, initiatives , government establishments scattered across the Nigeria regions.

The 2027 campaign would be easy for president Tinubu as the early defection already sealed the ahead election. The remaining 2 years before the election is enough to do more projects.

Can you advise Mr President to first tackle

Abject Poverty, Unemployment, Spiraling inflation,. Youth unemployment etc

Nigeria is the poverty capital of the entire world.....for christ sake

Do you understand what it means to be a poverty headquarter ?

helinues:
It's too late. That narration can never sell. The Northerners would rather endure another 4 years of President Tinubu so that they can enjoy their 8 years from 2031 without disruption

And forget it, no politicians can serve one term as president

Have you gone to the North lately....

Bandits.. Hunger.. Starvation ....

Bros ..Tinubu is doing a bad job ....

Let them give us a viable opposition...

D masses will do the rest ...

helinues:
And you think the southerners would vote for Atiku as president when Buhari just finished his 8 years as a northerner?

Why should people vote for the coalition if the person claimed to be the best to rescue Nigeria would be vying as a Vice president.

Tinubu should be worried....
With zero economic performance and hunger in the land ....
Pple will barely remember 8years -- North regime...
Atiku had good votes against BAT in the last election...
If he can get Obi on the ticket... they can give Tinubu a run for his money...

helinues:


Atiku, Peter Obi and Elrufai are not the one in charge of their party Pdp, LP and SDP

Which political party are they going to contest from?

Wike is in charge of Pdp
Abure is claiming superior in LP
SDP is more like a sister party of Apc, Elrufai don't have the command

What we need is a viable opposition...
Just call it any political name ..and leave it for the voting masses...
Atiku and Elrufai attacking from the North should give Tinubu headache
Obi from the South is a migraine for APC
No one will vote Tinubu based on his economic performance...
There is hunger in the land...

234GT:
If government can focus on agriculture alone, we will be fine in this country.

Agriculture...Processing and Packaging

Not only Agric...

datola:


What do you expect.... when we are asked to stick to made in Nigeria rice we said no, it's the fine looking but not nutritional foreign ones we want.

Even the Nigeria rice is not available

Thanks to Bandits and Herdsman...

Note I am a rice farmer..
