When people say the truth, you hate them for it. I still met a guy yesterday who lives in Shomolu. His area is on band a feeder. Supply in their area hardly blinks. Bross na the one you see you know. Band A feeders under Ikeja electric enjoy good supply. In fact, the light may not blink in 5 days and if it goes, they are always in a hurry to restore cos it's given priority.

I’m not the biggest fan of Minister of Power but there have been slight improvements. Just because money was released doesn’t usually mean there will be instant fixes. It takes time for the money borrowed to be released and takes time for procurements to arrive.

What can be done?

1) The metering gap should be closed ASAP. If we believe the minister on his promise that 1 million meters will arrive before March, that’s good news.

Meters will increase revenue, ensure Disco’s obligations to Gencos and TCN are met, and incentivise Discos to only maximise their profits by either supplying more electricity or expanding their market. Because estimated billing will be eliminated under mass metering program, only way for discos to make money is to supply more electricity to customers. If everyone is metered, the government can save money by pulling out of electricity subsidy all together. Just by that simple action, TCN will have robust capital to invest in their infrastructure and more Gencos will come on board. There will also be hostile takeovers of Discos by even better companies in Nigeria or overseas once a steady and convenient flow of revenues through metering is guaranteed.

2) TCN has been proactive and committed to improving their infrastructure and the minister should ensure they do even more. They need to transmit in large volumes with stable frequency so that we don’t experience collapse. They should also have a private security apparatus that will guard their infrastructure in conjunction with the Nigerian security forces.

Once those two things are in place in the short run, we should see major improvements.

Also, we need to check on NNPCL on how the Ob3-gas pipeline and AKk projects are going. We heard it will be completed in August 2024, and since then, no news yet. Gencos will even have more gas, all they need to add more megawatt to national grid are turbines and we get even greater power!!

Mandate1:
electricity improvement in your village? The only parts of Nigeria that has seen improved electricity is Band A users, this is because other users have been thrown into complete darkness.

Oga band b users still get it at least 15 hours. Even band C still get 12 hours. My area is bad D. They give 2 hours during the day. In the evening, they bring it by 7pm and take it by 5am. That's 10 hours straight. Add it to the 2 hours of the day, it's 12 hours. So your claim only band A gets it is not true. No doubt other areas suffer lack of supply but it might be due to perculiar issues. I'm not supporting the fact that other areas don't get as they wish to but the pictures you portray here is not true.

At this point I doubt if socialism will work in Nigeria. We are just bad when it comes to managing resources

The newspaper headline is basic sensationalism...and no, this is not a defence of the government, as the government is part of the problem by its system of price controls....

What Nigeria needs for improved power supply is, according to the experts....not the government....10 billion dollars annually for the next 5-10 years.

That's 10 billion dollars every year for ten years to make impact.

3.2 BILLION dollars over 4 years, or even 16 billion dollars....does not even make much sense.

The thing is, the money will come if the government stops controlling prices, and if Nigerians accept that there is nothing like cheap electricity. Or free electricity. Once we accept both facts, investment is going to pour in like a large flowing river of water....

What are you even saying,for it is an absurdity,for you to be telling Nigerians ' that Money will come' so,what about the $(Dollars) Money that have been coming and which one is price Control here?
You seems to be confusing the realistic Privately arranged business with govt Corruption that is too monumental in this Power and Energy Sector!
What I see here is just Politics,as nothing is being done to check the Corruption in Humongous NBILLIONS Money 💰 both they received and the one being generated by the DISCOS.
Another issues is who Owns the DISCOS and what are their contributions?

No u have not been saying so and u know it grand pa , it suddenly dawned on u in your defense of the most incompetent and bigoted group of ppl to be in the corridors of power in Nigeria

Yep, advocating for things to be sold at a price that is not set by government means I am.a bigot.

Okay,.comrade

Power generation will not improve because most of the customers are not metered. Hence no accountability.

Estimated bills give the discos free income that they tweak as they like monthly.

So f you are businessman, will you invest in more stock if you know you can bill your customers arbitrarily using estimated bills? The answer is no.

Why would I spend more to increase capacity if I know I can simply increase the bills issued to customers without recourse to supply?

The only people who are unaware are the regulators and those in government that watch it happen endlessly.

Is that how it done oga ? Price and pay for things unseen or touch.

They should invest first if they mean business then then you talk about price. Four states are currently on load shedding in the north now.

The issue . . . disco came up with a lie that there is an issue somewhere. An issue that TCN hasn't posted on either of their social media handle.

which picture sir? You want me to lie just to seem right. I won't do that. Light improved only for Band A, others are suffering. Since this year, I can't boast of seing light for 5hours in my area, yet you want me to praise them.

Oga, calm down.

I just left Osun State today, power supply was nothing to write home about. Also, in the part of Lagos I am currently (Epe), power supply is even worse. Don't use your area to make a generalized statement.

Power generation has become the cash cow of every successive Govt. Only God can deliver Nigeria from the grip of our unproductive Engineers

AntiChristian:


I don't know why we always have electricity in my area!

Ikeja Electric is always on point! Even when i read here that there's a shut down on the power grid and Ikeja Electric still has a few MW, we go still get light even though it may then go off few times that day only!

We too get light 24/7!

Why are you avoiding me mr. God-Told-Me-That-What-He-Told-You-Is-Wrong.

Oops, sorry, I meant to address you as Mr. God-Told-Me-That-What-He-Told-You-No-Longer-Applies. Now, you can start eating all kinds of unclean sea animals, even carrion, lol.

I must be out of my mind. I must be crazy. I must be mad.

I was supposed to address you properly as God-Told-Me-That-What-He-Told-You-Has-Now-Been-Granted-Some-Leave.

People who dabble into spiritualism always, certainly, always certainly, most certainly fall into authority quagmire and rebellion of central authority. You guys are not any different from one christian sect - C&S Church.

If you walk into any C&S Church or pick a tract or hear the one being addressed, you would hear designations like Evangelist, Prophet, Senior Evangelist, Senior Prophet, Apostle, Special Apostle, Most Senior Apostle, Most Senior Prophet, Most Special Senior Apostle. Senior Apostle and on and on. No, I am not kidding you. I am saying what I know. I pick tracts on the floor quite often.

Quite often, it seems they get conflicting prophecies, so they need a chain of authority in the Movement that they all agree to and so the title. The reason for all these titles lies in the same trap that Muhammad got baited in, but which he covered his tracks quite well. I apologize, I really do apologize for all the labels I addressed you with, no insult is intended at all. I simply want you to see the big picture in a different light. These labels are true because that is who you are by virtue of being a Muslim.

In Heaven, there is but one authority from whom others receive orders or get their own authority.

Now, in a space, granted, there might be more than one authority, but these authorities must agree (for the kingdom to stand, for a house divided against itself as you know cannot stand), and there cannot be more than one central authority since Heaven itself has one central authority. In heaven, that authority is the strong one, the eternal one - God the Almighty who is mighty, sovereign, and strong. GOD is Heaven's central authority! His authority is universal. It permeates the entire universe!

In the Lord's Prayer which I am sure you've heard, Christ gives us a sneak peak at how, according to the will of God, things pan out on earth too - he said, God's will is done on Earth as it is done in Heaven. It would seem then that on earth, too, God did not intend that there should be more than one central authority from whom other authorities get their authority and for good reasons too.

Knowing full well that I am a Christian male, I know what you are thinking - this fellow thinks Christ is that central authority. Haha!

NO!

Christ is not earth's central authority.

He is NOT!

Moses is. Yes, Moses!

Like I once said of the Law (giving of it) - it was given at the highest level of Prophecy! You cannot receive a prophecy (message) higher than that. Even Christ came under the Mosaic authority, submitted to it, spoke under its traditions, and agreed with its tenets, decrees, instructions, and commands.

Unfortunately, Muhammad succeeded in dishing out counter-orders, disagreeing with the central authority on important matters while claiming himself a co-central authority on the Earth by dishing out new laws.

Christianity might be wrong, very, very wrong, but go back to your roots. GO BACK!

That being said, come back to my thread and answer me, please.

Light very stable in Lagos too

Elusive001:



Bros no be all shit you suppose dey lick. As a professional ass licker who has licker from 2015 till date, you suppose know this.

Increase in power supply with decrease in power generation? Abeg check the kain shit wey dey the ass first before putting your tongue.

Maybe u live in the bush truly electricity generation has improved life die.

I live in Lagos and u?

Infact a week or 5days our light is unshakable

Sheuns:



The question you should ask yourself and those that posted these is what percentage of Nigerians enjoy stable electricity compared to those that don’t enjoy.

Electricity supply was better under Buhari regime than this at least talking from my own experience.

Maybe u live in the bushy part of Nigeria 🤔

Light is in Lagos at least 4days on and 1hour off with another one week on .

May God bless Tinubu

YouAreNobody:

Your pathetic attempts at shifting blame from your man in power is disgusting. When Jonathan was president y'all blamed him for everything, including your inability to sustain an eerection but now you want us to blame the governors?

Gettout!

...so if y can't blame your governor so why is d president appointing governors in d state ..
I mean what are their duties if u want d president to answer to your call always throughout the federal 🤔.



U get sense at all?

Kemetian:


ODE. Your state's allocation has QUADRUPLED UNDER TINUBU, due in large part to subsidy removal.

THE FEDERAL GOVT HAS 35% OF THE BUDGET WHILE STATES KEEP 65%.

Yet every blessed day, you idiots attack the FG 24/7, completely ignoring your THIEVING STATE GOVERNORS, who have been given full autonomy to generate their own power, and even harness their own natural resources.

YET THEY SIT ON THEIR FAT ASSES doing zilch!!!

JUST CHOPPING MONEY!!!!

Best comment so far may God bless you...

SalamRushdie:
3.2 billion dollars gone and not a single megawatt added , electricity supply is now worse than ever

Probably u live in xambiasa bushy forest ..

because here in Lagos light is very stable in fact sometimes more than 5 days on or close to a week if am not exaggerating..

Please change location and feel the good work of Tinubu

Go and find out about the terrible conditions of electricity in those areas.

Which Lagos has 4 days of light? Even Surulere that has steady light don’t boast of 4 days straight without interruption.
