Post harvest preservation.

For example, thousands of tonnes of fruits and veggies like mangoes, avocadoes, pears, bananas, cabbage, pepper, lettuce etc that go to waste daily with over all market value running into billions of naira that could have been preserved in lower temperature using 24hrs electricity, I guess that is in no way affecting Nigeria's food security.

Anyone who can build that can spend extra 20 million to install solar

Those facilities would cost minimum of 500 million



So you see my point what exactly and what exactly do you think the light bill for such facility would be?

Next time make it short n sweet:

GOOD THINGS ARE FOR SOCIETY'S ELITE

Not really

jmoore:

Dude, go and get educated on power.

It is ignorant to say gen is cheaper than NEPA.

Are you saying it's cheaper to run generator than 24/7 NEPA supply?

4 litres of fuel is #2600 now. It won't last for about 6 hours if you use it in a very GOOD Tiger generator, a 650w rated generator.

So, for every 24 hours, you'll need to spend #10400, that is over #100k in just ten days.

So, spending 100k in 10 days for a 650 watt generator is cheaper?

You need help

Ikinternational:



Wow
Absolutely wasted diploma
It's almost like you never stepped inside school sef
Very smart dumb person

You want to challenge me in a debate

You mean it'll cost 500 million to build a cold room?

Tinubu enters into power and suddenly, Nigeria doesn't need 24/7 power to grow economically.

BATstards are funny creatures.

😂😂😂

MEEVEET:

Lmao do you want to bet... I own a factory have never used Nepa and would never use Nepa

You have never done calculation nah you just want to believe what you want to he truth lmao

You can have a factory and still be ignorant.

We are talking of generators, not factories. Every tenant in our house have a generator.

If there is power supply from NEPA, everyone turn off their gen.

A hotel is besides us. They also turn off their gen when NEPA is on.

This is not for debate. NEPA is cheaper than GEN.

No..... Just a good ol fashioned Cage Match for the love of your bitch. So I can beat some sense into you

Let's use real numbers

Everyone claim to be smart till numbers start Rollin out

do you nigerians even understand that in western countries its mostly private companies that build this things.....??

to await only fg to build it with una tax money and borrowin is insane....

Because this your argument make no sense at all. Just stop ✋

Drop the numbers let see how smart you are

Yoruba always seeing Igbo Giants in their dreams. Igbos don't argue meaninglessly like the dude.


How can a proper human claim that running generator is cheaper than using the national grid

MEEVEET:

what was the arguement about....

i only saw you claim to have a factory....

IamAtikulate:

Drop the numbers let see how smart you are

I'm not the smart one you are so roll out your numbers

If you accept you are not smart I would gladly roll out the numbers

i dont know if thats true....

cant say....

lets start with if you realy own a factory....
you own a factory and you are here on nairaland on a work day typin rubbish....

are you sane atall....

since when is a 2x2 shop a factory....is this what you igbos call your shops today....

IamAtikulate:

Because numbers don't lie

Except the national grid is highly subsidized it makes no sense

Even abroad most factory run on private generators all the need is access to gas

Plus using national grid you pay for idle time in fact if we have electricity 50% of the bill would be idle time

Numbers don't like look at the numbers before you talk

That's what workers are for u know?

Yon pay them to do your work

If a business functions differently when the owner is around then his management skills are very very bad

I was in Nigeria 2014 for close to 7 months and I spent close to 10 thousand Naira every day to power my generator because I can’t stay in heat and I only off it in the midnight which means I spent close to 300 thousand Naira per month around December a friend agreed to offer me Electricity connection because there’s a problem with our transformer and after a month ed then he came with a surprised bill of less than 5 thousand Naira. Precise the power was constant. this happened in my town in Enugu. makes no sense comparing both of them.

Bros in 2014 petrol was 97 naira

That's 100 litres per night? Bros lie small small na

cooltola:
Once this issue is fix, then Nigeria can move forward. I still wonder why those in power are not trying to fix this problem instead they are doing elephant project like building school and so forth.
Till then , expect things to worsen.

The problem with power supply is that power is subsidised

This means that DISCOS and GENCOS are forced to charge below the actual market price of power, and are not allowed to increase prices, even if the price of gas goes up. Meanwhile, government pays them a subsidy that in principle covers for the resulting loss, yet in practice, because of rising cost of gas, and rising inflation, as well as rising maintenance costs, does not adequatley cover for the reuslting loss.

We have good GSM services (yes, not the best, but knowing what it was some 20 years ago, when you could not call an MTN like with a Econet line at one point...which is why Nigerians started having dual sim cards)....because GSM companies are allowed to set their prices as they like. Initially sky high, prices went down from 2004/5...because competition.

You want power, let the government deregulate the sector. But since most Nigerians are poor, deregulation would be a burden. So subsides continues, and price control continues, meaning that the sector cannot make improvements at all.
