What Went Wrong With Fashola? by chivic(m): 12:39am On Feb 09, 2016 |
Most Nigerians will agree with me that among the current ministers,Fashola is one that that stands out and with him in this current cabinet, a lot of us have great optimism that at least he will deliver. In fact, Buhari's exclusive trust and believe in him made him to attach a combination of portfolios to him,believing that once he can deliver, then his administration would receive a lot of applause. It is worth mentioning that Fashola's success can earn Buhari a return ticket. However,the recent increase in electricity tariff is not only shocking,but heart rending. What went wrong?who advice him?who has brainwashed our guy? is there something at the presidency that makes people with good intention to begin to think upside down? Would Fashola in his smart reasoning ability have taken this, if it has been proposed in the last administration?does it make sense at all? How on earth will the government increase Tariff for no light?are we not already paying more than what we get?Why don't the tell us that once we start receiving light on an average of 12 hours per day,then the Tariff of that area,region or Zone will be increased.? Something has gone wrong!If even Fashola can confidently think like this,then we need an emergency prayer. They should deliver service first before increasing Tariff. We are currently paying more than we are getting.And yet they are forcing us to pay more again for a futuristic promise. We need to occupy Nigeria for this. 122 Likes 14 Shares |

There are a lot we seem not to understand or maybe we are interested in focusing on the negatives. There are no develoment without pain and sacrifices all what we nigerians want is to continue getting better things at their comfort zones First of all the price template was not fashioned by Fashola it was a design from the previous government for an ideal running of the system. If u listened to what BRF said that it was the way it had suppose to be with the price but the last government did not implement it. The Disco recently declared to divest from the buy if the pricing is not improved because they are not making return and it is preventing them in investing more and even exanding as required by the government agreement on them. How can u run a business without making profits? So accordingly the new pricing will now make them stand well in terms of rendering and expanding after a particular time in agreement with the govt. We only want everything to suit us like oyibo without making any effort like them . When we travel to other developed nations do you realise how much other nations are paying for various taxes that are non existent in nigeria we just like everything free. Some social service is coming as promised and we are happy but how many are ready to pay for anything just like other nations or do you all complain or refuse to pay if you travel out especially South Africa Let's compare Nepa to diesel or inverter it is still larger very low so there is a bit of support from the citizenry for our own benefits 116 Likes 13 Shares |

[s] Yhinkss:[/s] What better things are Nigerians getting on their comfort zone? Abeg no annoy person with these your senseless made comment... Nigerians are ready to pay and sacrifice when there is comfort. Present phcn charges before it hiked was an overrated pay against the worst condition of power supply in every Nigerian home. There was never a comfort in suffering... Nigeria has been suffering from epileptic power supply in times immemorial. Nothing enjoying there but we tolerated and adjusted like everything is fine, because we reason and think like blacks... Fashola should review the current charges ASAP. Nigerians have suffered enough yet nothing tangible is done by Nigeria leaders. 129 Likes 11 Shares |

@OP, This is not about Fashola. It is about Buhari. Fashola and his band of unfortunate ministers are trapped. If they make noise, Buhari will arrest then for corruption and then start investigation for any corruption. We warned Nigerians about Buhari, but they wanted Chanji.

mikolo80:Which of those items that you listed is not functioning? You complain about too much payment, yet an average of 700,0000 people are trooping to Lagos every day! The simple reason is because you get the services you pay for. Nigerians don't mind paying for services as long as the service is delivered. People like you should know that there is no free lunch. You want constant electricity? Then be ready to pay for it - Period! The only reason why I didn't support tariff increment during previous administrations is that WE KNOW it will be embezzled. However, with PMB, this is not the case. Even without the increment, we started noticing improvement in power supply. I know some wailers will say its GEJ that did it (conveniently forgetting the ground works of OBJ). But I ask them why it is that we didn't see the result in GEJ's time. If you buy a generator in your house, won't the generator start working immediately or will it wait till you move out of the house and another person takes over before the generator start to work? Having said this, Fashola must know that he has now put his name and reputation on the line! Tariff has now been increase by as much as 65%. He and his team had better make power available - otherwise we will not fail to utilize our voting power in 2019 to boot them out! 62 Likes 6 Shares |

It's true that most Nigerian want to get things without pains,but this is different. If it were subsidy, it's understandable, but how can you be paying for what u don't even have. The so called investors seems not to be serious.How do they expect to start making profit without delivering service first? That's corruption on its own. In other parts of the world an investor could take up to 10 yrs to break even and start making profit,but in Naija,everyone wants to make profit overnight.

Yhinkss:thrash, if you he met the pricing why can't he review it for the interest of the masses, was he sent there for the interest of companies ![]() secondly, stop comparing us with those countries, your govt cannot even pay 18000 minimum wage, go and find out the minimum wage in those countries you are comparing us with. Those countries enjoy what they pay for, but In Nigeria, what we pay for ends in silly allowances for political class and others looted. People have been paying for estimated bills and now the power supply have not changed but the people are asked to pay more, are you ok? finally, those companies were dashed out to political class free with 300billion as start up funds in the name of privatization, the only thing that This people have done is to rent offices and furnish them, go and find out what investments that they have done with the money. All the power stations, substations, gas pipelines, dams and turbines were/are built with public funds, taxpayers money. but These things have been given out free, you people just comment, you don't know what is going on in this country, the rich will only get richer, the middle class will continue to wake up by 4am and sleep by 11pm, just to make extra money to pay bills and the poor will get poorer. this is why Our GDP doesn't reflect on the lives of the people. Nigeria is one of the fastest growing economies, yet people are poorer by the day. they do these things because they know Nigerians will adapt, there are already used to suffering, in developed countries, the people would have protested, offices locked, street occupied. but In Nigeria, if you talk they think you are in opposition party, we leave everything to labor unions, who will protest for few weeks and collect bribes then suffering continues 51 Likes 4 Shares |

There are issues surrounding electricity supply in Nigeria and its not as simple as most of you take it here. Government has privatized electricity as Gencos , TCN and Discos. These three levels need investments in billions of dollars. Nigeria as present is supposed to leave operators to fix prices at MCPE but because demand far outweigh supply, the price will be too high. To make it affordable, stakeholders meeting has to be conveyed with the private investors but due to the manner these companies were privatized and the low demand made from investors, core owners need to raise tariffs in order to run at profits and have money to expand existing infrastructures. Most of these core investors are politicians and they want to raise more money from the public to finance growth, not bad but, the fundamentals at the point of privatization were wrong so you can't blame Fashola on this. 9 Likes 1 Share |

poiZon: Of course you will say its chest beating when your state can't boast of such level of success to attract people. Even though the per day figure is actually my error, the fact is still the state is the choice place to go. here is the official stats Of this population, Metropolitan Lagos, an area covering 37% of the land area of Lagos State is home to over 85% of the State population. The rate of population growth is about 600,000 per annum with a population density of about 4,193 persons per sq. km.But does your ranting negative the fact that Lagos is still the state of choice for anyone seeking a chance to make it in Nigeria in-spite of all the noise about too many charges in Lagos? 3 Likes |
