It is, couple with the fact that more than 40% of Nigerians bypass payment of electricity bill, the workers are also not sincere about remittance.

In short, you can't do anything without curtailing corruption in that area

Did Nigeria wake up and became 200million plus? When we had oil boom we wia not up to 100million, yet what our government did was to throw a lavish party for the whole world in the guise of FESTAC 77
Na that Festac keep us where we dey today.

You're part of the shit holding Nigeria behind, you overpopulated it get you're crying foul.
In your domain , do you have 90% of electricity users paying up bills without any form of bypassing?

We all turned Nigeria to this shit hole, we should take responsibility

It is people like u that turned Nigeria to a shit hole nation with your type of reasoning, by thinking electricity is a big deal.

What is their official language?

Bullman:
I just got to The Gambia, 4hrs flight from Lagos via air peace ticket cost 223000 one way..so if you are planning for an adventure like me .. it's not a bad destination.

Dalasi to naira is about 11 naira or 10 sometimes.
The light is super stable.
The people are nice.

Once they know u are a Nigerian my guy u go pay money tire if u don't shine your eyes.. and they treat u like a celebrity.

Honestly the environment is conducive very very.. food seems cheap, houses aren't so cheap but you can pay monthly or pay 6 months. 1 year upfront rent payment doesn't happen here unless you the tenant wants to pay upfront.

Ask me anything you wana ask I will give you first hand information.

If it's business Gambia is good not better than Nigeria due to population.

Gambia has about 2 m people, Nigeria well u already know.

You can't be rich rich here..
But you can be extremely comfortable.
Their girls are really cute, extremely dark skin like some senegalese and somalis incase you like women.

And there are alot of retired white people living here ..

They take covid 19 rules very seriously.

You can't compare Nigeria's electricity output and consumption to Gambia. We have a larger population

We are not talking about the consumption rate neither are we talking about the population. What effort did the past government or present government etc put so the issue of poor power supply will be a thing of the past. Nigeria is fantastically corrupt. Don't get me wrong Gambia is also corrupt, Africa is corrupt, the world is corrupt. But this corrupt nations have gone pass the stage of poor power supply. Ours is to embezzle funds here and there, just forget it Nigeria is still an under developed nation. If in this 21st century we are still talking about steady power supply then Nigeria needs formatting.

They are just 2 million people, though.

Although, you are right that corruption is a major problem.

With over 200 million people, and a relatively understaffed police force, our politicians will still demand police escorts for the flimsiest of reasons, and then they turn these police bodyguards to domestic servants.

Our population is a major problem, especially for a country that produces very little.

Congratulations. Are you staying there permanently? Coz I'm thinking of moving to another country in Africa just that the job I presently do in Nigeria pay very well. But this issue of insecurity, electricity etc is making me go nuts. I'm tired of buying fuel everyday to power my house. Are they jobs there? What do you think about setting up a business there?
There is solution to electricity which is solar systems. I don't have dat problem in Nigeria. I can install one for u. Check my signature. There is abundant sun here to generate enough electricity.
