Alex Otti says that he wants to remove Abia State from the National Grid completely, "even though it's a PRIVATE enterprise" and many Nigerians are busy cheering him and his idea like this is something truly positive.
Are we really a serious people at all? Imagine the entire electricity of a state being owned and controlled by private enterprise(s), doesn't this leave the people at the mercy of the firm? Or you forget that electricity is a basic amenity that should be provided by the govt if we have serious leaders?
Has privatizing anything ever benefitted the masses in this country? Take the only working refinery for example, today we are at the mercy of Dangote, he can increase and reduce prices at any time, and we have no choice because we are dependent on that one refinery that is privately owned. If Abia goes fully private, consumers will most definitely pay more, because there's a 99% chance the govt won't step in to regulate in the long run, and of course, it's private so the goal is to make profit whichever way neccesary.
Abia State govt gets allocations, but wants to privatize electricity.
The problem with many Nigerians is that once someone is put on a pedestal, logical thinking automatically goes off the window.
@Tmama_Toma@dammiedammie35 You have misunderstood it. This is to get people thinking that receiving some food items that will last weeks will not solve the perennial issues. It's actually to demonstrate this to them that they can ask for what they have identified would make their lives better.
@dammiedammie35 This is foolishness. Everything has now turned to cruise in the country. Instead of taking the street to the National Assembly to demand impeachment, we are cruising around. Is it the same US-Iran war that is affecting the electricity, insecurity...?

@Joy_of_Wealth@Manbun_Ronaldo@OpeBee Why don't you address the earnings which is what will be used to buy the fuel? You people will only be doing selective comparison. SMH.
@Manbun_Ronaldo@OpeBee And US doesn't produce oil? They produce more than 3 times of Nigeria's daily output. You talk as if the oil will not require some level of investment before it is refined for use. Aren't the oil companies not ought to be paid for their work?
“Imagine what Tinubu is doing to Nigeria ”
“What is Nigeria’s business with Iran war when we produce their own crude oil”
“Nigerians aren’t angry enough”
