Arrant trash from fash!..why reap where u didn't sow? Stop punishing d impoverishd masses!

If GEJ tried this by now the likes of fashola & APC would have occupied lagos street & abuja environs.hypocrasy @ the highest order.........may God help us ooooo

What has the FG ever done in the interest of the masses? Nigerians are already suffering. No jobs. No money. No food. No safety. No nothing. Yet Fashola is telling them to bear with govt. They, the executive, legislature, and the judiciary, should be ashamed of themselves.

This will mean that a lot of people will be without power from now on, since they can't afford it. No be like say the power even dey at all. Fella was right about Nigerians. Suffering and smiling is the reason Fashola who arrived Alausa with a sagem phone and Benz flat booth, not too long ago but is now a billionaire, could look us in the eye and tell us to swallow the bitter pill.

This is the wrong time to increase the price of anything in Nigeria. Let those in govt serve without emoluments. They are already rich. We pick up their bills, including electricity bills, and this is what we get in return? Scale down govt expenditure. Let the positions from presidency to councillor be made 'voluntary'.

Oya, person sha no fit come die....me I go use baby oku jare

ichito:
Abeg where is my beer joor .....

Wey dos glamouring 4 change!!!! APC is full of shit!! Very wicked pple!!!

The prepaid meters is what i am canvassing for, deploying prepaid meters is not rocket science. Why should customers pay for meters, and it should take months before it is fixed or supplied? Is prepaid meter now rocket technology? Lots of Nigerians screaming hike in tarriff should understand that the real issue is the fraudulent estimated billing , not the tarriff. I am all for efficiency before effectiveness. Once everyone pays for the actual unit they consume, then no qualms, with prepaid meter, i can decide not to use discos power supply for the whole month, but my petrol generator, and no bill is paid. shikenan

Which Rot is Fashola talking about? Since he became minister, has he struck any deal on behalf of FG talkless of having over 10000 MW of electricity installed capacity?

The simple request of Nigerians is more of Metering. I want to pay for what I use. If you have not done that, you can't do all these Macabre dance talks.

SMH

Let's give him the benefit of the doubt, as long as they supply the card meter to all, it's a welcome development,let's keep watching this administration,they might end up being the joker to our economic woes, from what i ve learnt Nigerians are not afraid of sacrifice,they just don't trust the Govt,maybe due to past experience,it's well my people.

Why can't you fix the rot first before increasing the price you idiiot!

Terrible govt... Once they can't reason how to solve a problem d easiest way out is to throw it to d masses...

This man get mind ooooooh, we go die for them.we were paying #6000 monthly but now #14000 that how they increase tarrif nd not just that alone since two weeks now we have not seen light but at the end of the month they will bring it and collect the money and the light will go on breAk again till it's time to share bill again. We have not seen any improvement in the one that was previously increased so we Reebok ur idealogy ok

The man just got started.
This is the least to expect from him....

Please let's be guided. These people aren't being very honest. The increase was from #15.9 per unit (VAT included)
For R2 customers (this is the group many residential homes fall into) to #26.2(VAT included).

This is about 64.779874% increase
That's approximately 64.8% increase in tariff.

Chanji!!! More to come no1 shuld complain oh esp doze dat voted diz govt. We all go swallow am lyk eba. Chanji chanji ONE CHANCE!!!

So it's bitter pill 2day 2morow it might b sweet poo

Prepaid Meter is just one aspect of it! I understand those who dont have it, are cheated the most and in an even lower pecking order.

I have been using pre-Paid Meter for over 5yrs now!
But l have seen the cost/Tariff/price of a unit of electricity JERKED UP every time..... even though the Power Supply is annoyingly epileptic (imagine having to off-and-on the Generator four times within a single midnight hours? (Loss of Sleep!).

They said they have abolished "Fixed Charge" but l still bought credit yesterday and that fixed charge was still taken out of my money.
And as of today, the amount of electricity-units l get from the 7K worth l buy monthly, is even less, compared to before.

When will people like Mr. Raji Fashola understand that "throwing more money at a problem", is NOT ALWAYS the solution?
We are all in this country when some of these "wicked elites" told us that for Petrol to be available, we should be willing to pay #200/Litre!
But TODAY, petrol attendants BEG US to come and buy Fuel at their stations ....(l was joking with one today, l said: You people have suddenly become "so nice to us, your customers"? he smiled and said: Its the Government. ) .... yet the price is just #86.50, despite the removal of subsidy!
What we are paying (for these essential utilities) is definitely not a true reflection of the production cost ....but a reflection of what some GREEDY ROGUES, who have cornered these Public Service utilities for themselves, want us to pay, for their own benefit

Nigeria's Power situation is appalling! I don't want to hear anything.the government would always fail here cos a huge chunk of them are benefiting from the failures. Stories everywhere!

kstyle2:
Just wow....if only they can give constant or at least improved power for 3 months at a stretch and promise to continue but a little sacrifice from the masses, people will gladly pay. but when you do not evn see light a year, how do you then pay?

Governement wants you to act in faith. Faith is substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen
Sai Fashola.

The downtrodden and the lower middleclass must raise the funds to fix the power mess mashed and served-up by the elite! Surely, more strenous, out-of-the box thinking could have come up with a less unfair approach. For me, a better approach would be make the elite and their neighbourhood pay more.

talk of capitalism....no wonder we dont have any friendly ties with Russia....


i miss my friend karl marx

70% of electricity users on the grid DO NOT pay at all, it cost less than 1000naira to bypass your electricity meter, yes of course rarely any consequence other than you enjoy free electricity for years to come.
Now 30% pay their electricity bills, sometimes they run out of units and look out at the neighbours who do not pay at all enjoying power supply( they probably plead with them to o help charge their phones). Same 30% change all bulbs to energy saving bulbs and turn off light not in use yet watch their neighbours leave the bulb permanently switched on.
Fashola is fully aware of this ratio and even expressed his frustration. What baffles me is the decision to increase the burden of the unwise 30% who pay their bills. What he demands is that 30% should pay the bill of 100%. This is indeed very silly. I need some common sense hence forth.

The common fundamental element amongst the Nigerian ruling class is their wickedness. At times I think there is the conspiratorial covenant between them and the devil from whom they derived power to inflict much pains on the Nigerian masses. Right from the time of the self-styled evil genius (IBB), the mantra has always been and still remain 'Nigerians must make sacrifices' and ask them - where is the beneficial consequences of all the sacrifices we have been making all this while? mind you, Nigerians, give it to us, we are a long-suffering people. And this, this bunch of misogynists in power are always capitalizing on. - Monkey dey work, Baboon dey chop. No difference between six and half-a-dozen.

Baba Fas abeg we need meters... pre paid...asap...

My ppl pls don't let our government and nlc deceive us.. they have plain the game already.. so my ppl wise up

Why should they pay more? Everyone should pay for what he consumes.

I'm waiting for people to shout "wailing wailer".

I've always known Fashola as a wicked man.


His body language always portray the look of a fundamental heartless administrator.

Yes, he is active, brilliant and hardworking, and at the same time unfriendly to the masses in his character, facial expression, words, policies and service.

Please someone should tell this man that we can't be forced into this one too the same way the stamp duty charge was forced on us.


Seems no one dey even talk if this charge sef.

Prepaid meter for EVERYONE is the number 1 issue in my opinion. The Discos are making so much money courtesy of the inefficiency of estimated billing, that improvement in service/ power supply is not big concern to them, i have a strong belief that with prepaid meters for every subscribers and at the rate of the new tarriff, they will rake in lesser revenue, and it is no brainer they will have no choice to improve service. Also, with prepaid meters, wasteful Nigerians will conserve power supply in their homes, meaning conserved supply can be distributed to other homes.

We should not crucify Fashola, the MYTO(multi year tarriff order) was not his doing, it was an agreement of the previous regime, and this is not the first time tarriff will be increased over the last 5 years. he has also promised that tarriff will start reducing again in the next 2 years.
