See the way Femi Falana is discussing energy policy in such a competent manner even though he’s no expert on the subject matter such common sense issue that has escaped Minister Adelabu. We deserve better.
Our Minister of Power has not cared to learn or improve himself on the subject matter. He doesn’t even discuss energy policy on any forum.
He’s more concerned about lobbying for the power sector as if he’s a shareholder. He’s the most incompetent minister we have. We deserve better honestly.
Rightly Said!
Yes we do deserve better👍
You're right, the Lawyer speaks very well and sound capable, but attimes it's easier said than done.
I'm not in support of the stupid talk of Adelabu minister.
He's just a banker, young , though an industrialists, but lack the zeal and capability to drive the ministry's challenges.
He's just taken a job that will soil his political reputation.
But they could not stand and defend the electoral laws and the constitution.
The judiciary is in a mess.selling justice to the highest biders.
Falana should be addressing the judicial ills of the country.
Don't forget he campaigned for this government
The ignorant minister of darkness 😢
Of darkness indeed!
Let make sure to remove generator from this man house, he will be humbled.
This guy the minister of power is crazy I lived outside Nigeria for yrs I never put of my fridge he is mad for giving such impression about consumption management in Nigeria 😢
Honestly.
What's wrong with all this ignorant Nigerian leaders?
Who turned off their fridge and freezer to save power or cut down on consumption.
Honourable minister, is your fridges and feeezers in government apartments switched off to reduce consumption? Do yoy even know how much your energy bill is? How much does a litre of diesel cost for your generator use? I bet you don't know, yet you come on air to critic Nigerians on wastage. God dey
This man no get Certificate... he must be from Chicago or 😂😂😂
Which part of Chicago?@@owolabibrighttunji1377
He is a MAD Man
Just to visit Lagos for a few days holiday, a president will take a whole village with him! When will this foolishness end in Nigeria?
What is ongoing is reflection of joblessness and eyes service. They will reap their fruit in Jesus Name.
The Minister must be a jagon loyalty to Disco as part of the stakeholders.
The Minister should be drag to the court for this crazy movement.
Let the NLC begin Logistic process for boycott federation operations by down tools and embark on indefinitely strike on behalf of this national inflicting hardship by this so called Adedibu, he lacks human and theorically power capacity.
.
Too funny bro, mis miss placement of priorities
Minister of powerbank
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The president should make minimum wages 1.5 million
Dey play😂
God bless you. This increment is on which salary???
Minister of power speaking with power 😂😂😂
I have live in Europe for like 8 years from then till now, my Refrigerator has been on till date.
Gbam!!!
Is ur air-conditioning system also on since then? Refrigerator doesn't consume as much as freezers. And be sincere wats ur energy cost even with subsidy?
If she pay more its fine cos her minimum wage can cover for it
The level of greed, corruption and incompetent people in position of power in Nigeria is a thing of a curse.
These are the said Lagos brains.
I laugh in Chinese.
Sarcasm at its peak
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This man is worth 100 SANs
Is now a crime to put on my electrical appliances for days😢. Minister of power
Madness.... I live in Canada and I have a fridge in my Kitchen, a medium sized, and small sized deep freezers in the basement. I haven't had to turn them off for a day except for when I need to clean them.
Nigeria is subsidizing darkness. It is ludicrous paying trillions in budgeted funds to Disco's when the entire power infrastructure in Nigeria was sold for =N= 400 billion naira, from generation to transmission and distribution.
Only in Nigeria.
God bless, when true Nigerians living abroad write ,you will know.
I totally agree government officials lack strategic communication. This happens all the time
Removal of subsidy no dey finish in Nigeria..... criminal regime
What I want to know is, is disco not private company? Why is govt raising them funds?
Good question. They are just milking us through their companies.
The Didcos paid too much for less and realise that us was not viable and sustaining the debt profile for acquiring the asset. Those assets are now liability to the discos. Take a tour of the distribution network since 10 years ago. Consumers buys armour cables to connects transformer, repair and replace bad cable on poles, we pay for work to carried out by the discos, pay to reokaxe old malfunctioning meters, we pay for light/electricity we don't use through estimated billing. Please tell me what is it we don't pay for to have electricity?
Govt own 40% of Discos from a reliable information. So govt will get 40% of any increase
When Peter Obi went to Egypt to enquire how dey generate their electricity supply,the ronu gangs were laughing at him,now they will have to pay through their throat for electricity that doesn't exist in Nigeria..The shege go reach everybody.
If it doesn't exist, why paying through their throat?
We are truly in trouble. This Tinubu Government is making all angles very tough for Nigerians. God is watching ooo.
You could tell how passionate Seun was about this electricity hike...Well done @seun
How will person receiving minimum wages paid this current electricity bill
Wben the an evil man and wicked soul is on the throne , this is the type results you will always get , am not surprised with what Tinubu and his team has been doing since the first day they got to power because we knew him even before he became the governor of Lagos state, so am not surprised at all, he is tax collector and thats whats he is very good in doing
What's the problem? Let everyone have a pre-paid meter in his or her house to pay as you use to end this argument.
One more solution is the payment or billing system. The government must implement 100% pre-paid system and phase out the estimated billing system, if not we are joking.
Big shame tp Nigeria politicians
Falana understand what is happening in Nigeria. And he is not afraid to say it.
God bless Mr. Falano SAN. The energy minister is just an incompetent fellow. Shame on this government.
Awesome keep it up Okinbaloye
Who appointed this minister oooo
He is a politician. Politics is their only business and source of livelihood
Hmmm just short of words for my country Nigeria
The best solution to Nigeria electricity problems is for state or region to generate electricity.
Well articulated, Mr. Femi Falana. It's important to recognise that facts and figures don't lie. The Minister of Power has resorted to unjustified excuses for increasing the electricity tariffs, despite the absence of any investments that would justify such a hike.
We cannot afford to play politics with our resources while struggling to generate electricity nationwide. It's time to decentralise power. This would allow states with the capability to generate electricity to sell it to others, instead of having the federal government continually pay for non-existent infrastructure as a reason to hike with subsidy
It's being decentralized already
Falana is an all round intellectual. I’m glad you came to educate the minister of power, his incompetency and lack of knowledge is appalling
Thanks SAN Falana.
Please Mr Seun,can you bring a professor of psychologist to tell us the level of psychological damage effect of all this their policies analysis which is more than the economic hardship 😂
Makes you want to cry 😭
You can say that again. It is sad
Seriously.....tears up for my country..hmmmmm
Government is not sincere at all about the pricing of electricity in Nigeria. Government doesn't care about the well beings of Nigeria at all. As far as government keeps on allowing dollar to dictate the value of naira, the country is doomed to fail forever.
This Man is fucking intelligent God Bless you, I have been seeing ur love for this nation since d time of Oputa panel
When government removes all subsidies in a country whereby 98% of the population have less than 500,000 Naira in their bank accounts. This is a recipe for the biggest recession in the history of the world perhaps. Businesses have been forced to hike prices astronomically and as we speak the population can no longer afford basic goods, businesses are bassically unable to sell as the population can not afford goods. Most of our industries will be crippled by the end of the year! I advise Nigerians to brace themselves for the biggest recession in the history of the country perhaps even Africa! THE IMF DOES NOT HAVE OUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART!
Their plan is to cripple the nation so that no body can challenge them,IMF should advice the western countries that has strong economy and stop brainwashing our baby government that dont think about their people just to please their master inorder to have asscess to visa to their country😅😅 14:13
We reject the new hiking. It is not acceptable. It is evil policy from ream of darkness
The journey of criminality starts with one person.
Brilliantly and wonderfully said!!!!
Raising electricity tariffs is just another excuses we have heard for years which led us where we are now.
The Minister’s statements are trash.
This is same talk of yesteryears that ‘telephone is not for the poor’ by a Minister.
We have passed this sort of silly arguments on usage of electricity.
Shame.
I concur with Mr Falana’s statement on the minister’s indiscretion on the usage of power.
This Minister no go school???😂😂😂😂
Na agbado minister 😂😂😂😂😂
So bad we have an illegitimate government..sheun, if you like talk till tomorrow,APC no send you ooooo
Honestly truth ❤️
What "LAW" Nigeria continuously proves every second that ITS A LAWLESS jungle!
Even those outside of Band A zone are erroneously being charged.
Thank you Femi Falana
Why telling us that president went for holiday thats not Nigeria business, economy is on her knees Nigeria is on her knees and president has no solutions
In Nigeria, we have journalists who write nonsense, and lawyers and judges who defend the indefensible! Instead of sticking together as professions charged with holding politicians and lawmakers accountable on behalf of the citizens and for the betterment of the country, we have journalists and lawyers and judges who play tribalism and tarnish the image of their various professions as a result.
In other parts of the world, politicians resign from office because there are consequences for their actions. If the citizens do not hold them accountable, the lawyer and journalists of the country would hold them accountable and force them out of office by investigating and publishing their crimes. In Nigeria, lawyers and journalists praise these people and give them hope that staying in office, even when the people do not want them, can be defended. Journalists do not write against it, and lawyers do not speak against it.
Otherwise, how can a certificate forger, a career criminal, and a drug baron be the president of Nigeria? Why are Nigerians quietly accepting it as if it is right? Otherwise, how can we allow a bad precedence to be set in our elections and in our democracy and no one is speaking up?
In 2017, President Buhari died in office. Instead of our lawyers and journalists insisting that the right thing be done, they helped the politicians to bury the matter until today. As a result of their acquiescence, Nigeria was ruled by a dead president for 6 years, as they plundered the country’s resources. And the same lies are still paraded around today, as they continue to insist that the person posing as Buhari is actually Buhari. It is a shame! The world is watching, and history is recording!
Are you for real !
@@layiajayi8985 Don't believe me, do your own investigation. Nigeria is being led by thieves and liars! We need to wake up before it is too late.
From one problem to another. Renewed Shege 😂😅😊
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nigeria government must do more
We have the solution. God bless Nigerians.
I live in the United States and never off my TV and refrigerator one day, so where did this minister gets his facts of
The lady beside the man was even laughing when he was talking. The Power minister is zero on the issue of power.
The issue of power in Nigeria. The Govt only succeeded in changing Names and increasing Tariff right from ECN Electricity Commission of Nigeria to the present segment names such as Eko, Ikeja, Ibadan Electricity Distribution Coy etc but no improvement in services.
Best regards to Mr Femi Falana SAN.
What a pity. I have never liked or maybe understood the role of IMF. IMF started by insisting our Naira must be devalued. It seems as if they will not stop until Nigeria go under. For the young man that spoke to defend the reasons why some people have to pay more, where they not paying for the use of their electricity consumption before now? For the minister, a big shame. The minister should please tell us how his household had operated their freezers or fridges before now.
Consumption management, does that make sense. Hon, Minister.
How can you make an accountant a minister of power?
Minister of powèr na ogun oba go kee u oooh
😢
this government is weakening, so much fault lines,
embezzlers, confuse and wicked , nigerians do
not have electricity yet you are increasing
tariff , how did we get here?
Yes oooo
Nigeria are still sleeping in area of good governance,
We as citizens keep talking about solutions, do we think those leading the country don't know what to do? My take is that they don't allow what will crippled their stealing to come to life
What does the Government exist for??
Imagine a federal minister reading from paper and yet still tottering in his voice.
His arguments and statements seem baseless
God Almighty will guard Femi Falana and lengthen his life.
The incumbent minister is repeating exactly what former minister Raji Fashola said when the electricity was raised.
Nigerians' patience is being put to test by the Apc government.
What does the exist for, isn't there some form of subsidy in Europe and America???
Honestly speaking, this Mr Adelabu to me is not brilliant.
How can you be concerned about how people use their units that they paid money for?
Make available the power and people will use it more, because it is better we use electricity than buying fuel at over six hundred naira per liter,and still pay for the electricity we didn't see?
When products are available, people will buy it if they need it.
How I use my light should not be your concern,what you should be concerned about is to make sure the power is available.
This Government does not have any idea on how to solve Nigeria's problems. They have put Nigeria in a more deep shit,than ever.
The way Tinubu removed fuel subsidy is the most reckless way of taking decisions. Such a decision should have been taken through a wide consultation with the stakeholders in the oil sector. After all it's about the Country, and not a personal business.
He is an educated Illiterate, Simple!!! One hears the rubbish coming from the Country on a daily and ones head just pounds from frustration.
What does the government exist for?
What is the minister of power really subsidizing, darkness? Who told the minister that Nigerians do not want to pay for power if it is available?
President Bola Tinubu, biko ,this suffering is too much ,we no longer enjoy dividends of democracy but hardships of democracy .
This Minister should be Stoned out of this country. Is the suffering in the country not enough. God will not forgive Tinubu.
On the 12th of March, I bought a prepaid token of 2000 naira and 31 units were given.
Today, I bought the same amount (2k) and 10.3 units were given. Mathematicians can calculate the percentage increase.
Analysis
What it means, in reality, is that if you used to spend 2k prepaid token in 15 days, now, the 2k prepaid token can only take you for 5 five days. (Depending on usage)
This is the reality. I hope this makes sense to the ordinary man in the street.
Which band am I? I am just a private sch teacher. The roads to my house is not tiled.
The increase is for every Nigerian.
The Question is
1) why aren't we all enjoying 20 hours light
2) why is there a segregation?
3) in 2022 government said that there is no subsidy why are we now paying subsidy?
4) Why are we who are on prepaid meter & metered not javing adequate light ?
I think the government should have realized that the subsidy removal on those 1.5 m people will have effect on the rest of the masses. It will lead to inflation and higher cost of product. Which will bounce bank on common people.
Why are news stations not exposing the fact that people are fraudulently placed on wrong bands? This is newsworthy! People placed on Band B, like my area only get 3 to 4 hours energy per day at best. Channels please expose this.
Federal government is not sensitive to the plight of Nigerians. How can they be pampering a dysfunctional Discos who are performing less than expected. The essence of privatisation has failed. They should cease their licences of these clayfooted companies. And they should stop taking commands from IMF/World Bank who don't meanwhile for the development of Nigeria.
its high time we protest to remove the minister of power for his incompetent
Nigeria pays a premium price for darkness. When it suits them, they'll be quick to compare Nigeria with countries abroad on price, but they'll never compare Nigeria with the same foreign country on value for money and other amenities.
Fools ruling fools
Nigeria FG and IMF is a case of the piper dictating the tune.
If the FG goes to them seeking for loans, they dictate the terms.
Gariki international market abuja is being charged Band A rate. Please save our souls our artisans are greatly distressed. Traders are further impoverished.
Historically speaking Nigeria is bearing the brunt of lack of planning and investment over the decades . You reap where you sow
See how he is talking. So empty.
Falana is saying what Fulani people will not want restructuring, each region to generate power. Nigeria is doomed.
Why is Tinubu always celebrate in Lagos instead of his original state where he comes from. Other former head of states celebrates in their state of origin for instance Buhari celebrate in Daura, Obasanjo in Ogun.
Renewed shege, Nigerians una never see anything yet,shey all these shege na within 8 months,by the time the Renewed shege will complete 4 years,hmmm we will voluntarily relocate to Somalia....
What dose he know about power
In nigeria its in the opposite, president drug lord , lawyer turn to minister of power police become house boys 😂pilot become mechanic, 😂😂
❤
1❤😅
Good points by Falana. Some his points were drawn from Joe Ajaero an expert in power plus his own informed opinion delivered energetically. The minister of power spoke foolishly. I’ve lived outside Nigeria. Sometimes I travel & leave my refrigerator on for 2 weeks. Preserving my stuff. He should do better by the ordinary people of Nigeria.
Everything the govt is saying has been blatant lies. No real policy hs helped the ordinary people. It is yet to change.
That's why they pay the price and never received any power fool
1. Honestly, which distribution feeder supply 20 hours of electricity?
2. Discos are private business enterprises and should be allowed to go under if they are not capable operating efficienciently.
3. We can either do the right thing and have electricity or we can continue the mess.
4. It's only the hyro plants that are providing over 2000mw, while the thermal plants owners continue to lie, because they are not producing they claim to generate.
New Energy Policy is the way forward
Eeyah! Think again
This minister is crazy.. and very local
Bless Falana. Reject IMF AND WORLD BANK. To hell with both.
Until the political class gets political will to develop Nigeria l don't think there is a way forward
Tinubu obsess for wealth he can begin to buy the whole sector for himself
It is going to cause more inflationary to the price of production and commodities/products.
For example, the company producing essential commodities and products consumption are basically powering up their machines for production, hence the price of the commodity would be like against the current heat as a removal of subsidy.
The Minister s policy is totally unacceptable and it's evil.
It shouldn't have but you know Nigerians would always take advantage of the masses.
Country when minister of power they increase darkness bill not light bill 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Mr. Falana you have been supporting the movement of this country to a greater hight from day one but the problem is the evil leadership of the country and the evil international countries will not allow you
This was disheartening to watch! disheartening because this punishment is deliberate!
