The Federal Government has banned the importation of small generators popularly called 'I better pass my neighbour,' used by low-income Nigerians.
According to the Nigerian Tribune, Controller, Federation Operations Unit Zone A, Lagos of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Madugu Sanni Jubrin, disclosed this in Lagos while speaking with newsmen.
"The smaller generators have been banned by the Federal Government because it is causing air pollution and destruction of our lungs and breathing system. That is why they have banned it but people are still interested in smuggling them in, that is why we intercepted them.
If you go to the market, you still see them because people have imported them before the ban. So it is the leftover they had before the ban that they are selling because the law did not backdate the ban and it is not an absolute prohibition."
*They Ban the product totally and restore the flow regular of Electricity nationwide!
End time Generator
ReplyDeleteChange!
DeleteI pray ooo..regular electricity my foot
ReplyDeleteWhy will they do that? Can they restore uninterrupted power supply nationwide? This is madness. This small generator can manage fuel better than those big ones. Na dem sabi.

DeleteYou anonymous 11-23 ,you are suppose to shut up .people like you are the reason why poor men in Nigeria are suffering ,wicked souls ,they should ban the only thing low income people survive with.

ReplyDeleteMay God help poor men in this country. They dont want poor people to enjoy at all at all.
No light, No water, No road, nothing nothing, still all fall for poor man head.
D only thing d poor Nigerians enjoy freely in dat country is SEX! IMAGINE banning only d 8k Gen? Y not just ban d use of generator totally? Until dey ban d use of Gen totally in Nigeria there won't be a stable light because those who benefit from d sales of generator won't allow it!Fix d light before banning anything.
ReplyDeleteTru talk.
DeleteWhat a dumb thing to do.
ReplyDeleteYou ban the importation of generator when there's no constant electricity in the land?
What a govt.
What was Baba GoSlow thinking?
ReplyDeleteThat amounts to putting the cart before the horse.Most Nigerians only have electricity 2 hours in a day.
He should provide 24 hrs electricity first.
Gosh! This man is totally clueless.
OK
ReplyDeleteHow about danfos?
D air pollution from danfos is cancerous.
This generator has saved a lot of low income family and small scale business. I wonder y the ban is coming now when there is no regular power supply.
ReplyDeleteGod save us in this country, things are hard and the government is making it even more harder. Na to pack up go village go start farm work be the sure thing now.
Before these incessant reforms and bans, why not put in place adequate alternatives? Na wa o.
ReplyDeleteI pity poor people in this country...na dem dey suffer these things...
ReplyDeleteNone of you should complain cos you voted for change!...
So deal with it...
Gbam they should not complain. Rich people keep getting richer while the poor keeps suffering.
DeleteChick felix chop kiss ,if they want to ban generator they should ban all ,Making the poor suffer ,and the rich enjoying ,basic things of life they wont give ,small time they will ban sex
Deletejust wondering, what does PMB have to do with this? you people's hatred for this man is just biased
DeleteThey should have restored the regular flow of electricity before the ban.
ReplyDeleteI support stella! Dats one step in tackling dis Nepa issue! If no option we wld face it squarely
ReplyDeleteSee their flimsy excuse for banning d gen *its causing air pollution and destruction of our lungs and breathing system*...this dude must be an illiterate. Does it mean bigger gen don't emit carbon monoxide? See ds learner o!
ReplyDeleteIf d reason given above is anytng to go by,then old cars shld be banned from plying d road aswell including trailers. They all attribute in causing air pollution.
Btw...since they'v banned it,den should aswell follow suit in giving steady power supply
exactly O. All those ricketty trailers that ply Nigerian roads and their problem is the generator that people use to manage their lives. Its really unfortunate.

Hahahaha funny Nigerians!! Na so jealousy de take start o.. Which one be 'I better pass my neighbour' Gen
ReplyDeleteWhy ban when electricity is not constant?
ReplyDeleteHow do they want small businesses to survive?
I have no idea. If they wanted to ban gen, why not all. Why affect only d poor ppl that cant afford those big ones. Light is now scarce, yet they want to ban gen. Why not fix electricity issues first before taking this step. Don't these ppl have ppl with brains in their heads advising them if they can't think for themselves
DeleteIt is good and bad at the same time
ReplyDeleteJust imagine talk.....so what is the alternative, regular power supply?
ReplyDeleteGooD move!
ReplyDeleteBut with constant electricity.

DeleteAre you referring to Seun aka A member of BV or are you referring to Me, the Original Member of BV?
The government really has to work to ensure constant electricity, else it will be back to the days of hurricane lanterns or candles which are even worse. Besides, we need electricity to power our devices, so that won't even hold.
ReplyDeleteAre baby walkers really safe for your babies? Click my name to find out
I hope they intend to improve on the power supply.

Don't worry, when ur father builds a house, u will be able to confirm this. Anu ewu. When death is chasing someone they start looking for nonsense to say.
There was a country
ReplyDeleteOga Fash will restore electricity
ReplyDeleteHow does banning this generator improve the economy? No constant supply of electricity and the only way the masses will be able to get info by listening to news on their TVs and radios you want to ban, what the hell is wrong with this govt cos it seem like they are even more clueless and don't know exactly what to do...I guess if u've been the opposition for so long and power suddenly fall on your lap you wouldn't know what to do with it...abeg they should leave the masses alone and focus on improving power before banning anything
ReplyDeleteThis news comes with a mixed reaction. They constitute both noise and air pollution which damages the eco system. However, the government should have considered some modalities before embarking on a total ban. For instance improved electricity, small scale entrepreneurs, the importers and dealers etc.
ReplyDeleteMay God help us in this country.
This country don tire me i SWEAR!
ReplyDeleteYeah, its a sad development, hope the government has a good back up plan
ReplyDeleteFederal government should not banned only I pass my neighbour, they should banned any thing generator big or small if they really want to improve on electricity in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteNa wao, y banning gen, when no stable light.
ReplyDeleteBetter jare, the noise no be here!
ReplyDeleteThis is just crazy! They said Gej don't av leadership xteristics, but from what am seeing, he is still d best so far. Bc our own Baba know nothing abt govt let alone democracy. Chei may God help us, Amen!
ReplyDeleteThis ban was started in GEJ tym ooooo,only its being enforced now. Kai Nigerians becos u don't like some1 everything he says wld b bad. No b d man pass dis law oo. Of wch dis I better pass don kill too many ppl. Almost every death associated with generator fumes na I better pass dey cause am. Una no go talk dt 1. U ppl want everything to change but u don't want anything affecting u to change. Na wa oo. How we go move forward. U do A ppl go complain,u do B anoda grp go complain. I pray God gvs him d wisdom he so much needs. Cos Naija ppl can b very heady. Fuel scarcity,wen it obvious dt d stations are hoarding it. No b say e no dey,dem no wan sell. U can imagine holding a country to ransom bcos dey are oil marketers. God is watching all dese ppl dt won't allow dis country to succed. Na oil subsidy dem no want make dem remove dey cause all dis one o. Kai God gv him wisdom.
ReplyDeleteTalking about the reason for banning the importation of the Gen, how about old owners of such generators? Are they going to ban them from using it too? Because the carbon monoxide they produce is still in circulation if they keep using them? Naija funny no be small! !!!
ReplyDeleteNo light! No fuel! No generator! Black out Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteNa wa! To be poor in Nigeria is a crime o. Assuming the power supply was stable now I'd appluad this.Those that voted for "change" shouldn't complain. You asked for it, now you're getting it so deal with it...
