Which power?....where is the power you're subsidizing?

Subsidizing Power even with the current price per kilowatt, wen you stop subsidizing I wonder how much it will; claim you want to stop subsidy, hike the price and laterwe'll hear that the government is still paying trillions to subsidize power

But u can see nothing bad about d huge sums Nass guys r earning? Masses yaff entered one chance

MBuhari NGRPresident This Dictator clams to subsidise everything. So PMS was increased from NGN87 to NGN145, Electricity has been increase a couples of times since he came to power.VAT was recently increased. An avenue to cover up their inefficiency & incompetency.Smh..

Nigerians are never bothered on any hard situation the govt throw at us..that’s why we will keep suffering

Probably, many of us will abandon the electricity for you people. Just assumed power to torment citizens.... Nonsense!

it's obvious that PMB and his cronies are now the only beneficiaries of our Funds

You won't subsidize power, you won't subsidize fuel, you won't subsidize housing, you won't subsidize food..... How exactly is the Nigerian common wealth supposed to be shared...

Provide Nigerians with prepaid meters finish

This country is sick, may God see us through this hard time, we keep on paying for darkness, what will take them for every household to get prepaid meter. So if government says this,for how long are we going to pay for darkness? Perhaps light will become luxury

Nothing good can ever come from this government ,don't waste your time

ayemojubar The most senseless people to rule Nigeria

Now you’re waking up

Like someone asked previously, do you guys ever have good news?

Are you subsidising it before ni?

The masses must recalibrate and live within their means Bird's of same feather

Jokers 🤡

Subsidiary for what power? 🔋 we don't have a working power sector so what are you guys saying? Please elaborate on it, please because the power sector in this country to me is a project which is still on test run. For over 60 years.

Can they just sell this nation rather Dan doing this to us

But you can subsidize pilgrimage

The time you're subsidizing it, we didn't see it now you're talking rubbish. We can't continue to subside governance either. We need and deserve better leaders with ideas to move us forward not excuses.

Where is the power? Give us that power 1st...

Meaning what

They are beginning to show their true colours.

Yes please stop, we don't even see the effect of the subsidy self... Ndiara

We're finished in this country..like what is it this government can even be responsible for

End Disco.

I don't know what this government is ready to do /can do? All their anger are at that 33k minimum wage...they Wana collect it back...Zoo-naytion

Tell us your mind. Nothing can shock us again. ☺️☺️

Most of the discos cannot manage their areas of operation. A through overhaul & revision in the sector privatization are needed. This may necessitate tariffs hikes on removal of subsidies. The earlier these are done the better

general buhari and this his OneChanceAdm. Wetin eye no go see?
