The only thing I have enjoyed from the government during this lockdown is steady power supply. The epileptic power supply in my area suddenly became stable. Now we have light 24 hours a day.
This has made me believe that power problem is not actually a problem in Nigeria just that the government doesn't want to work.

Abeg which area be that? My own area for ikorodu, Lagos (Eruwen to be precise) Since the covid19 wahala start, na "night plan flash 5" we dey... They bring it by 12 midnight and take it by 12.05 (5minutes)

I no no wetin be our offense.

Egungu don enter express.

You are just lucky other areas are not the same

Na person wey no get sense go believe anything this government talk....which explains why you have to be a zombie to be a supporter

The only way this is possible is if the FG pays for bulk units from the DisCos and they give it out according to guidelines provided but our Ministers are loud-mouths; they talk first to please the zombified and then think how to implement later

I don't think so. Just like the palliative measures that targeted the most vulnerable among us .
This is targeted towards the poor among us which is a commendable effort by the government though we might not all be comfortable with it ,its still a good gesture and we must encourage the government to more.

What useless palliative measure?

Ayoefa:


Pls use your common sense. The govt did not promise free ele, the distribution company promised free electricity then claim that the govt will pay for it without first talking about it with the govt. What kind of rubbish is that. The govt should have told them point blank to pay for their own initiative or forget about it.

Leave the disco out of this madness rather blame the law makers who held meeting behind close doors.This meeting was gravitated when one Nollywood actress Ada Ameh cried on social media

Every Nigerian should kick against free electricity because the discos are the ones that would benefit from it.

Here is how free electricity can work. The government will pay the Discos billions of naira so they can offer free electricity to their customers.

The problem here is that the discos currently are offering darkness to most of their customers.

Therefore, don't expect a miracle because of free electricity. Majority who are still in darkness would remain in darkness while the few that enjoy some hours of power supply would be happy.

5,000-7,000 megawatts of electricity for a country with a population of more than 160 million can't reach a quarter of the population.

The only gainers here are the discos that will be paid by the government to supply 'darkness' to majority of Nigerians.

Not true. Quite a lot of Nigerians are enjoying electricity in this period.

Government should not pay any distribution or generation companies. That money should rather be used to subsidize prepaid meters.

Electricity subsidy is an attempt by the elite to continue the milking of the populace and economy.

I agree that the lawmakers are part complicit in the whole charade. Why will you allow a company to make a promise of free electricity then turn around and say be the way, the govt will be paying for the free electricity that we promised without first getting an assurance from the govt that will be paying for the free service. Lawal and Gbaja messed up big time on this. They should have told the distribution company to give what they can afford instead of expecting the govt to pay for their free service.

See, I know free electricity is the least palliative our government can provide now because it is expensive and Nigerians have been cultured to do without it.
Note, if the government will provide please let us encourage her because it can be used testing ground to actually know the weakest sector in electricity industry as there as been blame trade between GENCOS, TCN and DISCO.
On the contrary, the free electricity will not benefit the DISCO as you think but it will place them properly to where they should as the payment for the free electricity will be on per unit energy they distribute to consumers. Trust me our government have the facilities to know the energy DISCOS wheeled out to the people.

We knew it was an Infodemic info most especially coming from All Promise Cancel APC

A lot? What percentage? 5,000 megawatts for a population of more than 160 million.
Don't use yourself as a case study.
5,000 megawatts can't cover a quarter of our population.

How much did these guys pay to buy over the power sector again?

Epitome of cluelessness, hallmark of incompetence, facade of embarrassment, embodiment of aberration.My dictionary dey vex with this government and country this morning.

So Nigerians can't even enjoy anything under dis govt even during a crisis that's clearly making life difficult but if it's to buy exotic cars or sponsor useless travels for politicians, all these protocols will not be involved.

Even buhari voters sef de follow suffer am.

Nigerians deserve the kind of leaders they get cos when election still come, d same Nigerians collect peanuts to cast their votes for same wicked leaders n the complaints still continue.

The cycle continues.

My brother na you talk am finish they will still vote another idiot and collect peanut and still come here to complain after 2023 Nigerians deserves what is happening to them right now because they all are saboteurs rubbish citizens in high order


I hate every citizens in Nigeria as far as I'm concerned all of them are fool because only foolish people elect foolish leaders.

Make this pandemic finish make i fly comot this useless country and will never come back ever again rubbish damn Nigeria!

So long as I don't get to pay for it, then to me it is free. How they do that is none of my business.
