How long will it take to fully charge because that charging period is a downtime.
One can buy petrol in 5 minutes and not lose precious manhours.

The beauty of this is that if the state govt charges too high, private individuals will likely step up and offer cheaper alternative charging spots.

Ogun na place? Mscheew. ROFLMAO.

I don't undastand wat u wrote up there but re our policthiefcians only good at copying policies dat wil implement tax frm western world n leaving d onces dat wil create good amenities 4d citizens dey go 2dis contries 4vacations n bring tax policies frm there

I hate abbreviations!

e no work

This governor ain't smiling at all. I think 2500 is a bit on the high side considering the target the government is trying to achieve which is making life easier for people cos of the tribulation brought by Tinubu by the withdrawal of fuel subsidy.

However, if you look at it from another point. They say Necessity is the mother of invention and also competitiveness brings about innovation. Our Hi-Tech guys should quickly device or invent alternative cheaper charging system. It's easier to do. I personally can do it if I am in the country. It's not brain tasking to quickly invent a charging system as long as you have the specification of the battery. Invent it and be charging the batteries for them at a low price of 500 Naira.....install your charging station system at every corner of the State and I can tell you......within few months.....you are a millionaire and can advance into big thing with the money you are making..... eventually, government or governor will be force to reduce or eventually scrap those government stations.

Praxis758:
How long can it run when fully charged?

Those with technical knowledge about this should enlighten us.

They said 80 kilometers when fully charge, 2k5 a day is not bad at least other private businesses can jump in and maybe competition will drive the price down, I don't know why some people are complaining. 2k5 fuel is about 3 liter and some fraction of petrol here I am not sure that will carry you anywhere.

Haters gonna hate even if you give them your head on a platter, it's not about good governance it's a gaslighting, hypocritical game they are playing. It shall never be well with every enemy of the Yoruba tribe.

God bless President Bola Hamed Tinubu
God bless the Yoruba land
God bless ogun state
God bless Nigeria well wishers

Government run on tax... That's how it's done

You pay tax and the government provides value for your tax because it's cheaper paying Tax than providing it yourself

If you don't get value for tax vote them out

But here they get little change from oil and don't tax people

I've been following the conversation. That's how you will waste all of your energy and saliva talking, explaining to people who'll never understand. Many of them can converse in English, you'd think they're enlightened but on closer look, you'll find their ROM is corrupted. They want free things to drop on their laps, without wanting to give anything back. They won't criticize objectively.
Before we conclude whether the initiative is economically friendly or not, check out the variables...How much does it cost to run the bike on fuel daily? If it's charged for ₦2,500 per day, how many hours does a charging run? Can it be charged elsewhere if it's cheaper? What does it look like to maintain the machine? ....then we can draw inferences.

These ones just want free things. Nigeria is still one of the places where education is cheapest! I'm not applauding the government, I'm only being practical. If a public officeholder messes up with public funds, show them the door! That's how it's done in the saner climes that you are quick to refer to. Not you coming here to rant and your mothers will still go and collect ₦5000 from them thieving politicians.

gaby:


From the way you write, any sensible and reasonable human can tell the kind of thing you are.

You lots truly deserve the moronss you get as leaders.

Talk about when a multitude of apes consistently select the "Apest" one amongst them to be their leaders...

Tuehhh

You guys are just bashing unnecessarily. Question you should ask before conclusion. How many kilometres does the single charge go. If it's cheaper than purchasing 2500 worth of fuel for same kilometres then why complain. If it's not. Must you get the bike.

mrvitalis:

How much petrol would they use in day?
I guess u are the type that would want it free then cry it's not well maintained

The idea of Africans is weird theh believe government should get money from anywheee and make their life better instead of contributing money to government as tax to make their life better

Ogun have a population of 7 million, Nigerian GDP per capita is 1.6 million yearly

200k tax on average individuals per year
Gives you 1.4 trillion that's the minimum amount Ogun us supposed to get from tax

There is no how u pay that money n elect idiots
There is no how a good person ruled for 8 years with that money that u won't get great value for your money

God bless u for this,bro

U understand the mindset of an average Nigerian

Imagine wanting to charge it 500naira, something that could last for a day. As if the Govt got all that for free

The uninterrupted power supply has a source too. How would they maintain that if people charge for free

Thanks for your detailed comment

You don’t tax the entire population, you tax the working population. Now use the working population to recalculate what you put up there.

Do you know there are countries around the globe that do not tax their citizens?

NextAbuja:
Then charge it in your house n not pay anything now.

Tell them bro

Nigerians are hard to rule and I guess that why the politicians don't bother trying at times

Like these guys want it to be free

They don't want to give at all the Govt

2,500 for a charge that would last for a day. Isn't that better than buying petrol?

Sheuns:


Do you know there are countries around the globe that do not tax their citizens?

This is Nigeria. We can't afford that now

2500 for what would last for a day is fair

Let's be realistic abeg

mrvitalis:

The average Ogun person according to CBN earns 1.6 million

If you earn 100k pay the 20 let someone who earns 200 million pay their 40 million
That's how taxing system works

What’s the % of these average people.

DevilsEqual:

I don’t have issue with the fee for charging. I’m only letting that guy know that taxing isn’t the only way to generate revenues.

Creating more jobs and opportunities ba? Only lovers of Nigeria will see the many opportunities and benefits that will result as an offshoot of this new technology. Hatred has turned some people to dullards with zero IQ

If you are earning 30k u per 6k na
It's 20% tax

How is that difficult to grab

Tax someone earning 30K 20%? Haba. That’s not how taxation works even in those countries you want to copy so badly.

Reality2023:
N2500 is too exorbitant. It should not be more than N400 per day

Ah! A whooping ₦400.00 per day?

No na! Let it be ₦0.00 per day!

You people think you are wiser than others or more educated , I believe you comparing Nigeria with saner climes where there are accountability for all public funds and management of taxes. Can that be said about Nigeria, all those little tax people have been paying, You think All Nigeria are unexposed? You and I know that those tax that will be generated will be for the government officials and their family, you think Nigeria resources are not enough to make Nigeria better? Taxes here will be looted and be relooted then they start buying properties oversee …

The government can not force you to use electric bikes don't use it.

Too much! Reduce it....

gaby:
I can't believe someone would comment "good initiative" to this considering the economic mishap the country and citizens are currently embroiled in.

Imagine having to pay #2,500 per charge that'd last a day multiplied by 20 days.

I'm just so short of words to describe the kind of humans we have in every elective and appointed offices in this British company.

I think 75km is not a short journey

You know the most shocking part of all this is how THE ONLY JUSTIFICATION given for such a stupid price for charging is the relativity with the disastrous CURRENT FUEL PRICE.
This means if fuel price was ₦190 per litre, then the charging could have been ₦300 naira per charge. But just because fuel is like this, then the people should count themselves lucky to be paying this mad amount and charging price will go up if fuel price goes up.

How is nobody seeing this? I cringe.

Dem go find alternative, no be to charge.

The headline and narration is incorrect
You should rather state the kilometers a full charge can cover
A full charge can last some people for three days which is still better economically and climatically
Use media positively not negatively
Spread love and humanity
Stop reframing the government’s narratives

Are we so dumb?

These guys will continue to fool us!
