This is nonsense, the people will protest, what about the savings from the removal of fuel subsidy?

What is the people enjoying in this nation?

Is Nigeria for politicians, only politicians are enjoying billions while the people suffer.

FG should take from excess savings from the stoppage of fuel subsidy and pay for electricity...FG should stop giving governors all the excesses from fuel subsidy stoppage, these governors are massive embezzlers, history has shown, FG should be using this excesses to subsidize electricity.

This is madness, fuel is high, naira is low, and now you want to increase electricity...is this not economic suicide?

FG, what are Nigerians enjoying from the largese of crude oil sales, increase in tax net and revenue, what do we benefit?

We see you people buying vehicles for billions with national revenue, but when it comes to the people, no money...evil politicians.

They are very right..Nigerians deserve to pay high for darkness. In the future they should also look into how to remove subsidy from the air Nigerians breath.

The events unfolding in Abia serve as a poignant reminder that the stewardship of leadership is paramount. While the wrong incumbent may bemoan circumstances, the rightful custodian will adeptly navigate the available resources to orchestrate remarkable feats. Even if the tariff surges to 200 per kilowatt, one can confidently assert that the purported savings from subsidy removal will not yield substantive benefits. It is not a matter of financial destitution, but rather the inept handling of our invaluable resources.

Look at the other subsidies they removed, how has it benefitted the masses, what have they done with the money?

Electricity companies are idiots. Bringing bills when you cant account for how much each consumers had use the light is no brainer. Asking each house to pay as much as 6k-12k everymonth without a rate is no brainer. My wires rather remain down than to pay those compound asha.wo fools.

I remember when bills were steady and you had to pay 2k/month for steady electricity now those idiots wants to bill you excessively for epileptic power supply. My advice is if you dont have the needed infrastructure dont bother homes with your insecurities

APC is the worse thing to have happen to the masses since 2015, what in particular are Nigerians smiling from benefiting from their style of Governance? The power sector has experience more than 80 series of collapse since the incompetent Government got to power, in a nut shell, it has collapse just like their poverty yielding Government

If it's for the best interest of the nation so be it. But if it's another avenue to loot and subject people to more hardship then it should be discarded.
Be honest with yourself, what have u or the average Nigerian benefited from fuel subsidy removal? It's almost a year fuel subsidy was removed, what can u categorically point to that an average Nigerian is benefitting? We are still borrowing. We are now buying fuel at 700 per litre, what is the difference as to when we were buying at 185? It is has been increase upon increase since swearing in, but minimum wage still remain same. The way we treat ourselves as Blacks, everyday I wonder why God created the black man.

Why increase electricity tariff when you are yet to fix the constant national grid breakdown?

Nepa wants increase and removal of light sunsidy so that they can milk us to death. Tinubu will surely conform to them. That is why the grid is collapsing everyday... but when he annouces his proposed 60-75k minimum wage they he will have useless excuse to remove subsidy

From 68 naira to 200 naira per kwh. Despite that phcn will still supply darkness at exorbitant rate

Let's be sincere here, if we want any semblance of stability in power supply, the tariff has to go up, but with a caveat: all customers have to be metered. Without a cost reflective tariff there will little or no investment in the power sector.

CodeTemplar:


Above all, no prepaid metre to measure what is being used. Even crude oil isn't being metred.

Metering is the main issue. All the comments about paying for darkness have no basis if that person is metered, cos you only pay for what you use.

I only pity the families of these wicked people called our leaders, by the time God begin to deal with them, all their family members will not be speared. Can you immerging, removal of subsidy on virtually everything in Nigeria; education, health, fuel, electricity etc, not because there is no money to pay it, but purely to have more money to steal, that is why verification of name only will cost our government nearly 500 million naira, sinking of a borehole for 190 million naira instead of less than 10 million naira, renovation of undilapidated building for 15 billion naira, the list is endless. They should not forget that those that ruled this country wickedly faced one judgment of God or the other.

Go and read the post i quoted on and the post that one was quoted on to understand the context of my post.

And yes, I firmly believe that the cost has to go up to save the industry. However, I do believe that the poor must be protected and I have shared my solutions to deal with this in the past. If this were implemented, it would keep the cost reasonable for the actual poor.

They are very right..Nigerians deserve to pay high for darkness. In the future they should also look into how to remove subsidy from the air Nigerians breath.

Economic Reality And The Power Minister:
I'm sure Mr Onanuga is not economical with the Truth.
He is drawing a very wrong Narratives that Mr Adebayo Adelabu-has been proposing since he came to Power and it can Only make this Tinubu govt Unpopular because since this govt came to Power almost 11- Months ago,Nigerians have withnessed more Darkness than ever- by tellingly us that ' You want to remove Subsidies in Power Sector'e g ,as I'm writing here- no light Since yesterday Morning and this is how it has been since the Power Minister came and is not getting better!
-From that day you made the Statements, lights by All DISCOS was given just for 5 or 6- hours during the day,the rest of 18-Hours of Day and Nights - is Total Darkness!
1. Nigerians now have Complete Darkness than before you came- because the Minister was Sold a dummy by the DISCOS and he keys into it!
But what happens in these DISCOS is due to Fraud and Corruption!
2.Can the Minister of Power- show Nigerians- the Area, even his Constituency in Oyo State - if they are better off? For a Minister of Power to be using a power Bank- shows you how serious we are in finding Solutions to Power Sector! So,who is deceiving who?
3.If the Minister thinks he is deceiving the Masses - how many Transformers, and Prepaid Meters,has he brought to different Regions in Nigeria,since he resumed - let him come and give Accounts ?
4. For Mr Onanuga to come and tell the Same Narratives - that they need to remove another Subsidies - especially when the People are not enjoying any Services, other than Darkness,then we wait for another Elections and you think when it's quarter to,we will thank you,we are waiting and watching!
5 Is this not the World Bank and IMF Agenda - that you are trying to Implement - that does not take care of the People?
6.Till today,we are yet to see the Positive effects of the Oil Subsidies - you removed since May 2023-last year-
•How much have your Govt made? ------Please,show us the Monthly Revenue Oil Money, afterall,you are not running a Closed- Economy - in America, daily accruing in Oil Sectors is showing to the Populace!
• Where are the Functional Refineries - your govt promised?
• Where are the Palliatives you Promised the Workers, the Retirees, and the Masses,for since the Corruption in Poverty Alieviation Ministry, everything has been Stopped,as if the Masses are the sinners?
• How many Youths Employments-have you Created? Please,show us Sector- by -Sector!
Rather, what we see now is that you are making the Masses to become more Poorer and Poorer by your Subsidies Removal Economics .
That is the hard Economic Reality!
--Low Salaries - No Savings -----Low Consumption - No Investment!
Interestingly,the Executives + Legislatures are enjoying the Palliatives , including the Corruption in Constituency Projects!
