Ask Naija Why Nigeria does not have good power supply?
In March 2026, Nigeria's electricity distribution companies (DisCos) collected ₦196.13 billion in revenue and received ₦293.76 billion worth of electricity to distribute,
Nigeria’s 11 electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) in April 2026:
• Revenue Collected: ₦203.61 billion from customers.
• Electricity Received: ₦302.96 billion worth of energy from the market
In May 2026, Nigerian electricity distribution companies (DisCos) collected ₦208.15 billion in revenue and received electricity valued at ₦328.95 billion to distribute
In June 2026, Nigerian electricity distribution companies (DisCos) collected ₦191.86 billion in revenue and received electricity valued at ₦315.73 billion from the power market
In July 2026, Nigeria's 11 electricity distribution companies (DisCos) collected ₦205.53 billion in revenue and received ₦333.94 billion worth of electricity to distribute,
Note also that
1.Collection efficency of bills is 80%
15% of the country is paying band A charges, which are cost reflective, the rest pays below N100 (EXCEPT in places like aba and jos).
And yet, when someone calls for a cost reflective tarrif, they are apparently lying. Well, see the effect of the lack of a cost reflective tarrif that most of you here support because you think your government is doing the right thing.
All figures are publicly available. I did not make them up.
Until every nigerian pays a cost reflective tarrif, the investment needed to fix the power sector would never be forthcoming, and we would remain in darkness
(And saying that does not mean I excuse corruption nor does it mean I don't support metering everyone..infact the lack of a cost reflective tarrif causes those problems. And the losses is why you buy wires and poles
Also, ladies and gentlemen, remember that discos don't just have to pay gencos...they need to pay salaries, wages, charges from TCN and also taxes and decent staff salaries. Cant' do that when government is forcing them to operate at a loss.
I expect downvotes, and abuse....but it is stll the truth. And yes, I am not a tinubu supporter.
The energy charge component of the power tariff must be able to cover the cost of maintaining the assets. If operators can’t recover expenses for operations and maintenance, which are often dollar-denominated, there will be recurring system failures

General Should I ask my older cousin abroad for a phone after he gifted my brother a laptop?
I’m in a bit of a personal situation and could use outside perspective.
I have an older cousin who lives abroad. We do chat every now and then. You know, how is school? How are your siblings? He has sent money through me to my family before for Eid. I have never asked him for anything before. He’s recently helping my brother with a laptop—it was a gift, and my dad was the one who asked him about it. I’m currently stuck phone-wise( I have been using the same 7 plus for 5 years) and can’t afford to buy one myself or cover shipping.
I’m wondering whether it’s okay to ask this same cousin if he’d be open to helping me with a phone too. I’m hesitant for a few reasons:
· He just helped my brother, and I don’t want to make it look like my family is piling requests on him. · My parents would probably be against it; they’d likely feel it’s too much of a burden to ask. · I’m tempted to ask him directly first because he’s fond of us and might be more likely to agree. But I also worry that’s exactly why I shouldn’t because he might say yes before really thinking about it. · If he says no, that’s fine and I’d drop it, but I don’t want to make things awkward or put him in a difficult position.
I’m torn between asking my parents/dad first for a read on whether it’s fair to ask, versus just asking my cousin casually and making it very easy for him to say no.
What would you do? Is it reasonable to ask him, or should I leave it because he already did a lot for my brother? And if I do ask, should I talk to my parents first or go to him directly?

Ask Naija How can I legally raise 350k Naira in 7 days ?
I’m 24(F) about to leave for my NYSC camp in about a weeks time. I’m financially spent and I have no money to purchase my camp essentials and cover transportation and other living expenses while I’m at Camp.
I spent my very last money sorting out my posting to Lagos state because I was told it’s the best state to live for one considering a career in Corporate/ Commercial law.
I have exactly 7 days to raise money from wherever in order to afford to go to camp this year else I’ll wait another 6 more months.
Is there anything I can legally do in 7 days to raise 350k naira ? I’m really spent and I’ve exhausted every other alternative I can think of. I would appreciate any help from anyone.

Ask Naija What Is the Biggest Barrier to Exporting from Nigeria?
Nigeria has introduced new trade intelligence tools intended to help businesses identify export markets and understand international requirements.
But finding information is only one part of the challenge.
For people who have worked in trade or run businesses, what is the biggest barrier to exporting from Nigeria?
Is it access to finance, logistics, product standards, finding credible buyers, export documentation or something else?
I’d be interested in practical experiences, not just general opinions.

General Thinking about doing business in the DRC? Ask me anything from someone based in Kinshasa
Hi everyone,
I'm based in Kinshasa and work in management, communication and project coordination. I speak French, Swahili and Lingala, and I often see how foreign entrepreneurs struggle when they first look at the Congolese market.
The most common challenges I see:
Not knowing which sectors are actually growing (retail, agriculture, services, telecoms, real estate)
Finding reliable local partners
Understanding administrative steps and local business culture
Language and communication barriers
I'm not a lawyer or a financial advisor, and I can't promise returns. But I'm happy to share what I know about the local context and help you find the right direction.
If you're considering the DRC, or already operate there, what's your biggest question or concern? I'll answer as honestly as I can.

Discussion I am really confused
Hello guys, I’m 22 and just entered the job market and it's just somehow. Completed my MSc two weeks ago and haven’t found a suitable entry-level role yet. What’s really going on? 😂
Why do entry-level jobs require 3–5 years of experience? You see “fresh graduates are encouraged to apply,” only to find out they want professional certifications, proficiency in 15 different software applications and the experience of a senior manager.
Where am I supposed to get experience from abeg?
Anyways, if you have or happen to know someone with an opportunity for me, I’d really appreciate a referral. I have a BSc in Business Administration, an MSc in Economics, and I’m looking for opportunities in operations, supply chain, procurement or administration.
Also, for those who have been through this, how did you land your first decent job? Because this job market is just crazy.

Politics Everywhere you go, you cant escape them.
$1,500 to $2,500 per month(1,434830 to 2,391383 naira per month). Thats how much it takes to rent a billboard on this side of Canada. Keeping in mind that this is just one side of the city, imagine how much is being used country wise, and then Canada isnt the only country where Nigerians live, so imagine how much is being pumped into these campaigns.
In the meantime, there are people back home being kidnapped, killed, starved, people without homes and jobs, food and drug quality degrading by the day, terrorist threats still amongst us, and a super El Nino on the way. I have seen this billboard before in my city, but this post reminded me of the rage i felt that day.

I’ve never seen a woman smoke? Even the “wayward” female characters who engage in other activities thought to be vices aren’t depicted smoking on screen. Their male equivalents do. Vaping and smoking alike. This may have zero significance, but after many films it sticks out.
