These guys are currently on a disconnection spree in the whole of ota. If you are owing even a kobo you are getting yannked off the grid. I visited their office today to settle my bill. I saw strange faces there. Very different from what I'm used to. Although, it was clear the incompetent ones were shown the wayy out. 1 Like |

As usual, the ignorant dullards have nothing better to say, they are unable to articulate their views with sensible facts, all they have is the usual shut up shut up and vulgar rants.. Never fails... Back to topic... They paid 1 kobo for 10 kobo public power infrastructures, but not willing to engage the process with time and investments to bring their operations up to date for maximum efficiency and credible service delivery... No surprise here anyway, handing critical infrastructures to opportunist, vultures and incompetent government cronies was dumb, corrupt and grossly irresponsible... |

Me_Aboki: So sorry for ur misfortune in Kano. I joined in the celebration of that thread on 24/7 power in PH, only for us to be hit with almost a week of no power, I searched for possible explanations and was relieved when I read that it was due to vandalism of a major pipeline delievering gas and repairs were expected to be concluded by the 26th of Nov, we however had about 3days of rationing after the major blackout and now ME_ABOKI honestly we are back to normal (over 20 hours of power per day) this is 3days counting. @topic, I think it is not out of place that the decay in the power sector is being shared, however not to the point of hopelessness that this article leaves us with. Fix the decay now, profit later, that is the work to be done! If it were easy the government wouldn't have sold it off. 6 Likes |

otokx: Telecoms & power are 2 different industries so let us not compare them. If in 6 months time things do not stabilize then we can begin to think of a post privatization exercise.6 month is too early, like somebody mentioned lets give them more time to see if these privatisation of a thing is the way foward 1 Like |

He was Categorical. He didn't use d word 'may not', but 'will not'. I remember requoting him and asking him how he cud hv bn so sure, and his response was same: Power Privatisation WOULD NOT happen. According to him, GEJ is 'incapable' of overseeing and bringing to conclusion such a complex process; GEJ and his Govt was 'clueless', 'corrupt', 'weak', 'mediocre', 'clannish', etc, etc- there was no single of his many adjectives he didn't used to describe d Govt, insisting that d Privatisation process if it went ahead at all, wud be so front with corruption and litigations that d process wud not complete. TODAY, this same Privatisation process- the largest and by far, d most complex in Africa and one of d largest in d world- has since concluded SUCCESSFULLY. And it was a Transparent and Open process, with just a SINGLE litigation from d ova 200 Investors that took part in d process!!!..... Of course, @Gbawe completely disappeared when it became clear that d process was coming to such a Successful end. I know this cos I hv been waiting for him. Then, all of a 'sudden' immediately he hears of one of d new owners complaining about an already announced 1 week dip in Generation due to gas pipeline problems and just a mere 3 weeks after handover, he reappears and like a possessed Dog, pouts over d news, writing one of those long meaningless Epistles of his and speaking thrash.

You are a silly, childish and uncouth cretin who, no doubt, was raised in the gutter as agbero thrash. To that end I prefer to ignore you. Yet I will not let you get away with the lies you tell here daily because you assume others do not know you are a reprobate. Show where I "categorically" stated the bold above. Stating, from legitimate observation about the corrupt and cynical character of the government of the day, that privatisation may be perverted and not purist is not the same as stating it will not happen big olodo. Also, stating that the FG wanted to frustrate Manitoba is not, unless to a lying clown like you, equal to indicating Manitoba would not retain control it acquired through a legitimate contract. Illiterate fool. What I argue consistently is that processes and good initiatives will be perverted and bastardized by the ultra-corrupt and amoral GEJ Government. We all saw what happened to the Ribadu petroleum task force report as one saliently poignant example. I bet tomorrow you will lie I said the Ribadu report will not be submitted whereas the reality is that I said it will not/cannot be implemented as recommended by Ribadu et al because GEJ, Allison-Madueke and co are part of the problem the Ribadu report wants Nigeria to move against !!! All you know to do is go around insulting people and lying yet you are one of the least intelligent and most dishonest posters here. Mumu. You are nothing but a shameless liar.

(1) I have my pre-paid meter, but power is dwindling. However, If at the end of the month, I only expend 30Kwhr out of my 100Kwhr. It implies that nPHCN will make 750naira for giving me poor service. It means they will make 2,250naira from me on 100Kwhr in 3 months, Instead of 750naira required for me to have consumed 100Kwhr in a month. WHO IS LOOSING? (2) People had been comparing power sector to Telecom sector. But I ask some questions on what ground people thought that it is an uhuru. How will competition of glo and mtn bring us to per-seconds-billings in Power sector? TRUTH: we must not celebrate better power when there is nothing like competition. How will I tell Ikeja Distribution Company that their services is no longer required when they have monopoly of power in Ikeja and its environs? or do we think is like replacing mtn sim with Etisalat on same phone?

It is a pity that these so called new management ONLY know what is called free money from the public hence the acquisition of the the almighty PHCN. They want to start racking in money from the public without first putting their offices in order before looking forward to making money. This goes to show the mindset of our leaders and their corrupt business men who operate like lions waiting to devour their prey. How can they operate under the kind of cub-web like wiring of Nepa pools with stick pools and transformers that has been out of order for years. Until they go round and change all PHCN pools and change the transformers by replacing new ones, they cannot start dreaming of profit from the public. 1 Like |

Just one month and the prophets of doom are drooling at the mouth. Common sense should tell us that this is to be expected so far there has been a change in management. Staffs have to be sacked/retained new ones employed,old systems replaced or refurbished where needed,in fact so many things before we can see visible changes. Instead of patience we are expecting magic,this from a company that has since time immemorial failed in it's duties. @ Topic,concentrate on improving supply and be consistent before you start looking for profits. 6 Likes |
