Remman:
It has not collapsed because you guys have increased tarrif. We all know that the collapsed grids used to be faked in other for you to feed our energy quota to other countries that Nigeria supply electricity. So, stop pretending as if there has been an actual collapsed grid.

So he was right after all, we dont conserve energy.

The objective is not a win for the money, but a win for something excitingly positive for Nigerians at times like this

NGX growing with a finance minister that's fully invested in the market. He owns chapel Hill

nairalanda1:
Ideally, it is the job of the local DISCO, not the job of PHCN. PHCN does not exist. Discos and gencos and TCN have replaced it.

But as to why consumers contribute...this one is easy.


Nigerians are not paying cost reflective tarrifs for electricity. Additionally, over 30% of us do not pay for the power we use.(If you think I am lying...google for the PwC report Solving the Liquidity crunch in the power sector).

As a result, your local DISCO is owing money, and at least 3 of them have been taken over by the banks. Up till today...many of our DISCOS have not broken even. THREE of them, and I mean three of them, have been taken over by their creditors, one has been taken over defacto by the government.

Why...because Nigerians do not want to pay their power bills at market price. We think we must have power for free.


Meanwhile, GSM companies, if the antenna spoil, dem go replace am. Your local provision store owner, if he runs out of milk today, he will replace it within a few hours, if not tomorrow latest....because they are allowed to do something the power sector is not allowed to do. Sell at market price.


This is the result of not letting DISCO set prices.....you will be asked to contribute for your generator.


I went to a private school for primary school, and then for secondary school, na government school I go. My school fees in the primary school were at one point three times what I eventually was paying in the government secondary school I went to....yet in the primary school, in over 6 years of being there it was two times I bought exercise book for myself...the second time, because the supplier was late,and I was advised to buy a book...anyway, normal service was resumed in a few days.

When I entered secondary school, I was paying cheap school fees. Guess what......in my six years there I was buying all my exercise books and stationeries and textbooks while there. Something that in my private primary school..they were issuing us textbook.



Let us all pay a cost reflective tarrif.......and you will see your disco provide you with high quality transformer that would last 300 years. Not this one where we pretend power is cheap, and where in some areas half the population thinks it is free of charge. Ok o.

Spot on answer!

Nairaland is back

lonelyatdtop:

This was impressively civil. Well said! We usually don't see many people do this.

Wow. His death is a big blow to football history. The King is dead. Long live the King Messi!

Offpoint1:
I'm not a football fan, but it seems this Ten Naira of a guy is running mad.

You benched him in previous match, he got upset, you punished him' sent him to kindergarten team, denied him today's game and still come out crying you MISSED HIM....

Its a management decision. As a manager, you need to instill discipline. Crespo, the biggest player in Chelsea at a time was loaned off for Mourinho to achieve this. It's a hard decision a manager has to take on one to get 100 people in line

The shared link is expired.can you repost

They screamed MUSLIM MUSLIM during primaries, they rebuffed it. But here we are! Another selfish and inconsiderate decision

First wrong move. He could pay dearly for this

The illusion of success... Trivialities before investments, we have seen this happen on one hit song guys over and over

Barth was the best minister for power we've ever had

HarunaWest:
Well when i camped in Umunna Bende in Abia State, we had excess light, we had excess water. Borehole functioned 24/7. Then getting cash we were charged fairly cos withdrawals was made from ATM point and not POS that is in vogue now. The camp food made absolute sense and the officials were so cool..I really enjoyed my stay in Abia State gaskiya. I intend to visit there soonest when this IPOB madness has subsided.

This is the beauty of service, the GOOD memories and touching other lives.

When your phone is stolen, ensure you BLOCK YOUR BANK RELATED SIM CARD IMMEDIATELY AND CHANGE YOUR S! Once a phone is stolen, the next mission is to wipe the bank info. The phone was stolen in the vehicle, didn't drop

If they are no staff links , MTN. Culture is great, benefits are on point.

SkullMinerSW:

Osibanjo sold out Lagos to Tinubu when he was Commissioner of Justice.

Just be objective. Would you rather an Atiku to Osinbajo?

SkullMinerSW:

He won't lay a finger against any corrupt official and be a continuation of the corrupt and failed Buhari government.

The way he pardoned the DSS head, during the raid on NASS, a decision that worsened his relationship with the cabal? Bro, leave sentiments aside.

48 laws of power... Never outshine the master. Read it, understand it, and know that there is wisdom when you hold your tongue.

Quite clear. Cos I can't get surprised with this president's sudden half baked decisions anymore

There should be a better solution than this

QueenDilinna:
My Nairaland family,
Please help me for my daughter's case. We have done a lot, biopsy and six months constant medication and all yielded no results. All manner of traditional medicine have been prescribed. It has spread all over her body. I am emotionally drained. House please help me.

I once had this. If you are in Lagos, go to Duro soleye hospital, there is a very good dermatologist there. He recommended wright's coaltar soap, and some ointments

Beautiful. The challenge of our education philosophy is the regurgitation of knowledge, rather than exploration. The key part for me is sowing the seed (idea), and helping to water it(alternate use of the salt). Keep inspiring these minds bro

I think you diagnosed the issues from ur write up - short period of courtship. Now that you are in already, note that you are from 2 different backgrounds and have to gradually blend into each other. You may have to develop thick skin and talk to an elder sister or someone else that can explain things to her. But note that the Change process is gradual and needs nurturing.

It's just painful
