Mind you, there are more private universities than federal universities in Nigeria, and people are free to go there and pay. Don't come here with your foolish talk of "education in Nigeria is cheap and should not be subsidised".

I will insult you and your father, and uncles too

Nigeria cannot skip heavy industry to chase a tech dream.
Leaders talk nonstop about building national AI and digital economies while the national power grid keeps crashing. This leaves cities in the dark and forces small shops and factories to rely on costly diesel generators just to stay open.
It makes no sense to brag about advanced computers and cloud tech when the country cannot even keep the lights on for everyday life, let alone power a massive data center.
Chasing high tech without a real factory and energy base is not vision. It is just a distraction from deep problems that need fixing first.

Nigeria allocates approximately 7.2% of its national budget to education, while Ghana allocates roughly 16.2% of its total public expenditure to the sector.

The Ghanaian Government spends more than twice (on a relative basis) on education than the Nigerian Government. That is why Nigerian students go to study in Ghanaian universities, not the other way round.

If you like, vote again for the people who talked about "agbado and cassava" - and then spend the rest of your days spewing discredited neoliberal bullshit from the 1980s.

This community transformer racket has to stop completely. It is daylight robbery disguised as community self-help, and the regulatory double standard is sickening.

​Look at how the power sector works in Nigeria:

​When a community transformer blows up, the DisCo goes deaf. You write letters, make calls, and nothing happens. Six months down the line, residents are suffocating in darkness, small businesses are dying, and fuel prices are draining everybody's pockets.

​Out of sheer desperation, landlords gather, task every household 50k, 100k, or more, and scrape together 5 to 8 million Naira to buy a brand new transformer, buy heavy copper cables, and pay for poles.

​The moment that equipment is energized, the DisCo claims it as company property. They add it to their network balance sheet, and within two weeks, they start distributing Band A and Band B bills. If you do not pay, they disconnect you with the ladder leaning on the very pole you bought with your own sweat.

​How can a private, for-profit utility company take free capital equipment from struggling citizens, pay zero interest, give zero equity, and then charge those same citizens full price to use it?

​If NERC mandated that customers who pay upfront for meters under the MAP scheme must be refunded their money over time through energy credits, why does the exact same logic not apply to transformers?

​A meter costs 100k to 150k and you refund it via monthly energy units.

A transformer costs 6 to 10 million Naira funded by an entire street, and you pretend it was a charitable donation to a private entity?
​This injustice has to end.

​If a community is forced to step in and buy infrastructure because a DisCo failed its obligations, NERC should make automatic amortization mandatory:

​Every single household on that street that contributed to buying that transformer should have their meter credited with monthly energy units until the full cost of the asset, cables, and installation logistics is completely paid back.

​You cannot let private DisCos enrich their asset portfolios with crowd-funded community blood and then charge those same people premium tariffs for power. If DisCos want to own the asset, they must refund the people who paid for it.

According to some very smart people on here, this kind of bad behavior will end once all of us are paying US prices for power.

I hate it so much when someone says “the government is not the problem, Nigerians are the problem” stupid analogy! wtf do you think is the duty of the government? 😠

A reminder that this tribalism bullshit is artificial

An Igbo man is speaking pure Hausa to pay tribute to a Yoruba man.

God will punish whoever invented tribalism to divide us as Nigerians 🇳🇬.

[Countey @counteymoon]

Relatively affordable public university education is literally the only thing Nigeria offers. To advocate for its removal is simply wickedness.

[Oluyomi Ojo @OluyomiOjo]

I'd expect that if you were once poor, you'd empathize with poor people. I've been proven wrong many times.

I've seen people who benefited from a system become the exact people trying to destroy it once they dont need it again. They make pulling the ladder the core thing they are great at.

I do understand many things, but this one I struggle with it a lot.
