POWER PANDEMIC: THE DISCOs ARE FRAUDULENT

15
1665

The age-long public outcry for an improved energy in Nigeria for homes and business which gathered momentum in the wake of the unbundling of the Nigerian power sector by the Federal govt.has substantiated the glaring reality that Nigeria is dwelling under a serious power pandemic,a plague which had threatened comfort progress and development and thrown a clog of limitation on the paths of businesses.

There is no gainsaying that the Nigerian Power sector became jaundiced due to poor management by the state,a situation which forced the administration of president Muhammed Buhari to outrightly place generation and distribution in the hands of private investors,the move was to enhance electricity supply the use of Nigerians domestically and industrially.

But sad enough,the same situations which led to the privation still stare Nigerians in the face,confronting their affairs and businesses,so much so that they remember the sad exit of great companies such as Dunlop,from Nigeria,due to the inability of the country to achieve stability in the power sector.

When the DISCOs came,Nigerians felt that the end of power epilepsy had come.
The global expectation was that the management of the power sector had gone to the hands of capable and reliable private sector that will cause the flourishing of the comatose realm.
But Nigerians were proved wrong years into the privatisation when the never-ending negative indices remained outstanding despite the high expectation of Nigerians.

It was that worrisome that many a Nigerian felt that the privatisation process was shaddy,and that the unbundling by government was a charade that still left the soul of Nigeria’s power industry secretly in the hands of some Nigerian capitalists whose only care was profit,not development.

These worries became manifest with the current trend where DISCOs agonisingly short-exchange Nigerians without any palpable explanation,or even readiness to profer a panacea.
Everywhere you go,from Lagos to Abuja,and from Abuja to areas in the north,back to the southern and easthern climes,the outary is analogous,and the recent consumer outburst especially under the Ikeja and Eko Electricity Distribution companies is so fear-evoking that everyone is clamouring for something new from the current arrangement.

From a sharing formulae that is exploitative,delusive and confusing at the same time,to a billing process that is criminal cum extortionary in dimension,the modus operandi of the DISCOs are fraudulent and remains a deliberate methology of sustaining the old odd statusquo.
How else could or should Nigerians view a situation whereby Nigeria neighborhoods buy power transformers,cables,transformer oils for the so-called-power-firms who will only pay them back with power outage due to their killing inadequacies and inefficiency?

The various Community Development Associations (CDAs) in different parts of Lagos have become adjuncts of the ailing power authorities. The leaders or chairmen of these associations have become tools for the extortion or fraud business of the DISCOs.
They are used to force money out of residents to buy equipment for Ikeja Electric,Eko Electric and their Counterparts.

The process is very draconian. The CDA leaders usually would place huge levies on the residents to service these companies,and whoever fails to pay will face the disgrace and pain of permanent disconnection from the grid.
These experiences can be ascertained from poor disenfranchised consumers who hardly get full 10 days electricity supply in each month,despite their contributions.

Once the Community Development Committees who regulate the CDAs in Alimosho area of Lagos State,demanded the oppressive Ikeja Electric to come disconnect the massive area from the grid in order to end their campaign of fraud.
But, just like it happens here,the ‘power managers’ found a way around that ultimatum and continued their management against the people.

On several occasions,the people have petitioned,protested and confronted the officials of these companies to no avail,and they are only angling for the next, perhaps violent action.
It is commonplace that sometimes,the operatives of the power companies resort to police and military ways to keep their unjust methods affloat.

Even the directives of the minister of power;the Federal govt,on estimated billing and the need to fix prepaid meters have met the deaf ears of these firms,who continue to roam and roar intimidatingly.

The way out is a total review of the privatisation documents/process that brought these companies into being,as being clamoured by the legislators and indeed well meaning Nigerians.
This redemptive process is essential to prevent chaos and economic stagnancy,even retrogression. It is also significantly exigent to save Nigerians from the current power pandemic that creates discomfort and cripples businesses.

    The Star, Sydney, is flush with table games and pokies
    with these real money casino games the most popular with
    Australians. By law casinos must operate in accordance with a system of internal controls,
    and other administrative and accounting procedures approved by the NICC.
    On 23 April 2024 the NICC found Crown Sydney
    suitable to hold its casino licence. A remediation capability assessment will be finalised to form a view as
    to whether The Star may be considered suitable to hold a casino licence in the future.
    Visit casino compliance on the L&GNSW website for information on the role inspectors play at
    casinos.
    The Chengs finally backed a winner in Australia with the Star Brisbane casino
    venture in 2015. They included Cheng Yu Tung, Henry Cheng and David Chiu
    of Far East Consortium, future co-owner of the Star Brisbane casino.
    Three times and no dice in Australia, the Cheng family saw opportunity beckon in the US with
    their would-be casino frontman. The role of a former Australian leader in introducing the
    partners of an alleged organised crime figure to a casino bid went unremarked upon at the time.

    In English, ⟨a⟩ is the indefinite article (with the alternative form an when followed by a vowel).
    When the Romans adopted the Etruscan alphabet to write Latin, the
    resulting form used in the Latin script would come to be used to write many other
    languages, including English. The Etruscans brought the Greek alphabet to
    the Italian Peninsula, and they left the form of
    alpha unchanged. However, in the later Greek alphabet it generally resembles the modern capital form—though many local varieties can be distinguished by the shortening
    of one leg, or by the angle at which the cross line is set.

    In speech and writing a is used before a consonant sound.
    This is the sound that the letter now normally represents when the vowel
    is long.
    Graphic designers refer to the Italic and Roman forms
    as single-decker a and double decker a respectively. In some of these, the serif that began the right leg stroke developed into an arc, resulting in the printed form, while in others it was dropped, resulting in the
    modern handwritten form. In Greek handwriting, it was common to join the left leg
    and horizontal stroke into a single loop, as demonstrated by the
    uncial version shown. These variants, the Italic and Roman forms, were derived from the Caroline Script version.

    The index is expressed in kilowatt-hours per ton (kWh/t) and represents the amount of energy required to reduce one ton of mineral material to a
    defined size. This index serves as a key measure for assessing
    the relative hardness of mineral materials and the amount of energy required
    to reduce their particle size. The open and closed sized settings for given product sizes can also be
    determined.
    On November 1, 2022, YouTube launched Primetime Channels, a channel store platform offering third-party subscription streaming add-ons sold a la carte through the YouTube website and app,
    competing with similar subscription add-on stores operated by Apple, Prime
    Video and Roku. Google Play Movies & TV formally shut down on January 17, 2024, with the web version of that platform migrated to YouTube as an expansion of the Movies & TV
    store to desktop users. YouTube began offering free-to-view movie titles to its users in November 2018;
    selections of new movies are added and others removed, unannounced each month.

    YouTube Movies & TV is a video on demand (VOD) service that offers movies and television shows for purchase or rental, depending on availability, along
    with a selection of movies (encompassing between 100 and 500 titles overall) that are free
    to stream, with interspersed ad breaks. On May 22, 2018, the music streaming
    platform named "YouTube Music" was launched for people who mostly listen to
    music on YouTube.
    Since at the present time feed and product sizes are approximated solely
    by the microns 80% passes, the most promising opportunity for increased accuracy lies in consideration of their plotted size distribution characteristics.

    The Bond Work Index value is then calculated using an equation that relates the net grinding rates achieved to the size distributions of
    the product and feed materials. It is necessary for the engineer
    to specify the desired product size of the test so that the laboratory
    can choose the appropriate closing mesh screen for conducting the test.

    In March 2017, the government of the United Kingdom pulled its advertising campaigns from YouTube, after reports that its ads
    had appeared on videos containing extremist content.

    The platform was tested in India and later expanded to other countries,
    including the United States in March 2021, with videos
    allowed up to 1 minute long.

    The bombings appear to be the first on Poipet, which is known for casinos popular with Thai gamblers and its international border checkpoint.
    BM-21 rockets are weapons that are typically fired in volleys from the back of an armoured vehicle.
    Shortly after, Thai Air Force spokesman Air Marshal Jackkrit Thammavichai said that the Thai military had attacked the centre outside Poipet that
    had been used to store BM-21 rockets and that no civilians were harmed.
