Ok ooo

owbabs:
100 years of darkness looming. Something that has been solved by the rest if the world.

Hmmm.... Yet these failures would boldly come out to tell us that they're the best thing to have happened to us after sliced bread �

I support the movement that each state should source it power supply from hence.

Beremx:
No electricity in my area for the past three months because the transformer packed up and no replacement yet. Worrying about the state of electricity in Nigeria is another headache.
Buhari isn’t bothered because he’s in London and his wife is in Dubai.

Shameful

3 month only when here is maiduguri we are in total darkness for the past one and two months

They should keep their light. It's just a pity say even fuel no dey.

Hardship dey this Naija sha!

So all the over estimated bill we have paid
Whose account was it credited to

I don adapt since. Nothing concern me. I sweat all day and manage to sleep properly by four in the morning.

Which darkness?
Our power supply is good here.

gabazin080:
And buhari's aide is saying another thing

His father is forever a bastard!

SmartProf:
In Nigeria, any threat that doesn't impact on high ranking government officials is as good as a joke...the FG is aware that Nigerians are always in darkness so it won't shake them. What shakes the Buhari led FG the most are his cows in Daura, and they don't seem to be affected by this threat of being in darkness. If Gencos rephrase this threat towards buhari's cows, he will pay them within 24hrs and even add Jara.

Exactly.

We are used to it.

Wetin dey happen for this country self,this is a better cause to protest o,if 100k people protest enter aso rock draw buhari com outside whip him yansh make him dey shalaye

What happened to all the allocations for power supply?

I thought he recanted it when he said "power belongs to God"

galadima77:
Where's Fashola that said electricity is not rocket science because they needed to win election?

and yet you SW/SS indigenes would be shouting one Nigeria look lets face the truth Nigeria is a failed Nation Assu on strike being owed by government now Gencos are holding us ransom as well there is fuel scarcity and fuel prices are over the roof all this under APC yet Nigerians are going to vote this same APC government into power come 2023 like who does that? well una sabi all of us go continue to suffer since its obvious Nigeria's have no brain and enjoy being oppressed. BAT for president

Really

hartopher76:
Ukraine with all the shelling from Russia still have steady light but common thunder for Nigeria, one week you wont see nepa flash light.

this one weak me. Even breeze like this, light will take off. So bad

If I understand correctly.

Nigeria needs about 40,000MW capacity to ensure constant supply.

TCN has a grid capacity of 5,000MW.

Gencos are producing an average of 4,000MW per day, some of which is lost during transmission and distribution.

Now Gencos say they have invested money to upgrade their total capacity up to 13000MW but says that TCN and discos have not been able to upgrade their capacity thereby inhibiting them.

Gencos also say they are not paid enough, on time and because of low liquidity have difficulty acquiring the funds necessary to properly maintain their plant which NBET says is false.

If this is what the Gencos are saying. I don't think they are lying. I wonder what foreign investor will be thinking about this issue.

FG needs to attend to these issues raised.
To be honest if Nigeria is seriously about this light issue under 6month - 1 year we would have constant supply.

Another old and expired idiot is warming up to take over and your educated youths are hailing him.

God forbid, its really pathetic

Buhari, APC will not escape hell fire

[/s]

We are already in darkness...fg please never pay them that money..they are not providing anything..imagine wat assu and sanu will do with 1.6 trillion..we will run universities for 15 years without strike..Buhari give us the money these clowns have nothing good to offer

SarkinYarki:
How are they being owned 1.6 trillion naira ...the moment hyper useless Buhari agreed to start paying them for any power Rejected by DISCOS I knew he had destroyed any opportunity of fixing the power sector ...So the Govt recently stops paying the criminal money and all the GENCOS gang up cease power

Why should a government decide to pay for power rejected? From where will the government get the money? A Disco rejecting load should be fined heavily.

stepaside2:
We can complain all we want. The issue is not as simple as many people see it. Bottom line is that the value chain is broken. There is massive transmission and distribution losses and payment for what is left that is consumed by customers is grossly inadequate to pay everyone involved.

2 things to do in my opinion is 1) reduce losses, most of which is due to illegal connections 2) customers to pay competitive market rates for electricity.

We are more like subsidising electricity consumption similar to fuel subsidy. It just can't work. Once we sort out these two issues, the other complaints by gencos and discos will naturally disappear.

How can a distribution company not meter customers since 2014? Is that not a deliberate sabotage? Imagine owning a fuel station and selling base on estimated billing...lol.

Criminals everywhere to exploit the common man with demonic excuses, hope no bills during Black out. Thieves.

So is Buhari that created this situation even after you have read the article or you didn't read it?

Jennyclay:
See how they're talking confidently as if Nigeria use to have steady light. Rubbish!!

From CHANGE to NEXT LEVEL.. Indeed we're really experiencing NEXT LEVEL.

Fuel Scacity (a whole oil-producing country)

Insecurity
Bad roads
