My own is that in Nigeria we are not paying for the light we use. We are paying for the light we don't use...paying for the darkness we stay in. I hope you will not remove subsidy from the air we're breathing sha...as una don comot (from backdoor) subsidy for breeze wey don cause heat everywhere. |

I cannot imagine how the common man is managing to survive in Nigeria. Tinubu is running a government based on lies, deception, propaganda and false promises! *SMH* |

We sleep with light virtually every night but now, we barely see light up to 1 hour the whole day. like wtf is really happening. Tinubu is just one slowpoke of a man. All these Yoruba tribalistic and bigots, hope you guys are happy with this dullard you guys have forced on us. it's well |

grandstar: They will now come and say that you are an APC apologist, and a tinubu supporter. The painful thing on Nairaland is that most Nairalanders don't want to hear your message. They are in pain from the economic hardship, and anything that means increases in prices, even if it means economic benefits in the long run, is anathema to them But the truth is, we have been paying subsidsied power prices for years, and we have bad power. We don't get the message and blame 'corruption and bad government'. Well, the bad government started with them forcing subsidsied prices on the power sector. Even the argument on african countries paying cost reflective tarrifs, dem go tell you it is because they have smaller population. ![]() 4 Likes 2 Shares |

ucheuzor1: With which money? When GSM came to Nigeria, they were allowed to set their prices. Many people complained of being ripped off...and true true they ripped us off...earned large profits. But you know, they used those large profits to build up our telecoms infrastructure and system, the one we all use today. And service was poor in the early days. Back then, you could not make calls between networks, or call landlines, and as for browsing on your phone? Haha. Yet, Nigerians paid the price. Your power sector does not have that advantage gsm had. They are forced to charge at a loss, are paid subsides that do not cover that loss, and many Nigerians owe them lots of money from unpaid bills, and they are forced to rip off estimated billed people to make something to keep them from collapsing. And you expect these people to give you light 24/7? ON top of such disadvantages? OK. o, sorry, but that is magical thinking, not rational economic thinking. 1 Like |

There is nothing like electricity subsidy. When then want to double the price of something they use subsidy to cover up |
Re: FG Can’t Continue To Subsidise Electricity — Power Minister, Adebayo Adelabu by idealogical: 5:14am On Feb 15 |
All the subsidies must be permanently removed because Nigeria cannot sustain subsidies indefinitely, subsidies is the reason why we in this mess. Imagine borrowing and spending trillions to subsidize everything from petrol to Naira , electricity and even education. We are basically living a fake and unrealistic life, you just cannot keep spending what you don't have. Nigerians love to make noise about foreign and other debts, but they still want to live on the same debt financed subsidies. Continued subsidies means a totally bankrupt future.. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

nlfpmod: This Minister of power lacks ideas...why will he be talking of shortage of gas in a gas rich country? |
Re: FG Can’t Continue To Subsidise Electricity — Power Minister, Adebayo Adelabu by nairalanda1(m): 5:48am On Feb 15 |
MarketDispatch: Because for a long time, Nigeria has not been harnessing its gas potential well...and this goes back decades. We prefer to flare gas rather than use it. |

Re: FG Can’t Continue To Subsidise Electricity — Power Minister, Adebayo Adelabu by grandstar(m): 7:12am On Feb 15 |
43Ronin: Yes, power supply will increase once electricity bills are cost reflective. Nigerias installed capacity is around 12,500MW. This is more than the nation currently needs. I am certain that within 2 year, Nigerians will be assured of at least 20hours of power supply. Deregulated pricing worked magic in the telecoms sector and would do likewise in the power sector Mtel which was forced to sell at a "masses popular" price of 22 per minute went under. 2 Likes 1 Share |

nairalanda1: What stops them from issuing out pre paid meter? What stops them from increasing our power generations? Must be read from the scripts written for him? Will the minister says he doesn't enjoy power supply 24/7? He is more Nigerian than you and I? I stopped taking him serious when he blocked the road at Molete last 3 weeks or so just to re-welcome him back to Apc. |

Some Nigerian enjoy suffering or rather wants other Nigerian to continue to suffer due to the peanuts they enjoy from the administration in power. Let's always remember Thomas Hobbes quote We cannot get in the state of nature. Because nobody will be safe |
Re: FG Can’t Continue To Subsidise Electricity — Power Minister, Adebayo Adelabu by nairalanda1(m): 8:20am On Feb 15 |
Chachamiliano: It is not a matter of pre-paid meter, it is a matter of bills not being cost reflective....and a matter that a lot of customers do not pay their bills. Power costs between N50-71 per kwh. The cost of producing that power is above N80 per kwh. Countries who have 24/7 power like Ivory coast have charges as high as N180 per kwh for power in households. And most people pay over there. |
