THE NIGERIAN National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Group Managing Director, Mele Kyari said electricity is only for the Nigerian elite because it “is largely a luxury”.

Electricity, Kyari said is out of the reach of many Nigerians because what they worry about today is the meals for the day.

“There are many who can’t afford a meal a day,” he said.

Speaking at the Nigeria International Petroleum Summit, the NNPC boss said many Nigerians and Africans rely on petrol-powered generators to access electricity in their homes.

He noted that there is abject poverty in Nigerian communities that even many Nigerians dream of owning a small power generator fondly called, ‘I pass my neighbor’.

Kyari added that it is nearly impossible to stop the use of fossil fuel for power generation if alternatives are not provided.

The country is for the elites.

Trying to make sense of what he is saying. How can someone like him say that despite the many gas powered electricity generation plants in Nigeria? He should be working with the right people in government to ensure that we are able to generate electricity for all to use at the lowest cost and not encouraging the use of generators. Sometimes, I feel we elites are the major problem of Nigeria.

Nigeria itself Na for elites.. Which bank go give ordinary Nigeria loans without collecting all thr collateral of all the world

There is no nobility in poverty


I have been a rich man and have been a poor man


And I will pick rich every godamn time.

The controversial truth

Not just electricity.


Good water.
Good road.
Good education.
Good life.
Good joy.
Good news.
Good things... And plenty blessings.


Nigerian elite know how to make the common uncommon.

Apart from pontificating on the sad situation of the country, what exactly is your office doing to ameliorate the endemic poverty which is gradually becoming a way of life, particularly for the northerners

Who made this dullard a director

Everyone fighting for Nigeria is fighting for the elites with their subsidy and numerous scams
