lexy2014: Tell us how much we actually earn from oil at 1.7m barrels daily considering cost of production and IOC share. Are you sure all our earnings from oil can pay all our doctors Saudi wages? |

lexy2014: So who will pay for the cost of power if citizens can't pay and govt says subsidy must end? Discos? |

Ovamboland: ⏩The thousands of useless, mostly illiterate or half educated LG councillors & Advisers to governors are paid higher than doctors. The grievances of most of these doctors is that they aren't even regularly paid their meagre entitlements. Senators and federal legislators are paid over 15 million per month for doing what❔❗️❔ Mr Man, you better park well. Why are you even underrating doctors out of jealousy? |

Peppysco: Yes there's no power supply where I am right now, but that should not make me lose sense of logical reasoning and reality. As long as power sector is not profitable nobody will invest in it. Do you know the constitution empowers state govts to licence power producers and distribution in areas not served by the grid and discos? Why have people not rushed to invest in those areas to bypass the fraud you claim is embedded in the existing system? |

emorse: Do you now see that many of the estimated bills never turns to cash and Discos are not swimming in money? There are huge problems that needs to be solved which transcends just power generation and distribution. It includes, legal, law enforcement, identity issues before the system can see stability. |

Ovamboland:That was a typo. It was 4,400 units. And if those meters were installed, there wouldn't be more than a handful of houses left. |

adecz: Councilors earn 125k monthly last time I checked and it's legal nothing to add. There are 774 local government and at average of 10 wards per LG we have less than 10k of them. Paying them zero won't move the needle of salary for our 75k doctors and 250k nurses. Anyone who admires their salary can go and contest and collect that salary for 4 years. The total budget for the Nass including about 2000 staff members is about 130bn. Our 75,000 doctors will need 5 trillion a year to match the 6m they say Saudi will pay them monthly. Yet you think it's the 130bn NASS allocation that is standing between the doctors and Saudi wages in Nigeria? Think well. We've not mentioned Saudi wages for the 250,000 nurses. |

Ovamboland:Nobody insinuated that 100% of the bills are paid. It would be unwise for anyone to think so. Even I still owe about 6k or so on my bill. But there's proof that a large part of the revenue generated goes unreported. Even at that, revenue shortfall is not unheard of in business. It only behoves on the business person to find ways to mitigate it. Like you said, the problem includes, legal, law enforcement, identity issues etc. Low tariffs though, is very far from the top of that list. |

Ovamboland:Later learnt from him it was PWC that gave the report he shared, so I have got nothing to discredit on his report because I believed PWC to be genuine. On a general opinion, our govt of the day should be mindful of how everything inflates in price simultaneously bringing untold hardship on the citizens, some of these increments can be gradual Also they lack accountability and transparency on how these incomes are being utilized after sucking the citizens to get more running cost, our recurrent expenditure and debt servicing is shadowy and overly excessive! |

Ovamboland: u havent answered my question. if u say that d reason for constant tariff increase is in ur words "Do you really think the discos are making tons of money at the moment?", are d citizens who are supposed to pay these increased tariffs making tons of money at d moment? simple yes or no |
Re: Confusion As Disco Announces Tariff Increase, NERC Silent by lexy2014: 7:19am On Aug 30, 2021 |
Ovamboland: u havent answered d question: is all d money that gets into govt coffers used actually used to run govt? how much of govt revenue is properly and justifiably used? |

Ovamboland: Don't be jumping into conclusions. I never said that our country should match Saudi Arabia for salary. Our government should simply pay anything promised & agreed by the parties. Remember that all doctors bring income to anywhere they work, which will be in trillions. Senators, Advisers & councillors are just a drain pipe & waste of resources. Society can do without them. But we can't do without doctors. |
