Of dominance and equity
ACCORDING to Mahatma Ghandi, “there is always enough for everybody’s needs but never enough for everybody’s greed.” It therefore means collective ownership and equitable distribution of resources are the commonsense and liberation for all human beings. Availability of fuel, food, education housing, transportation, communication, shelter should be in the realm of sunshine and air. No wonder the world is grappling with intractable problems such as wars, hunger, poverty, deprivation, lack, backwardness and underdevelopment. Highly evolved cultures understand all this deeply and they do not charge exorbitant prices on goods and services. Market forces in capitalism claim that when more people chase fewer goods, prices skyrocket but spiritually, because all beings are one inseparable entity, more people do not even have to chase fewer goods because in whatever situation or whatever is available, they share equally.

Buharocracy, aside earlier definition and explanation, also signifies government that is janus-faced; duplicitous, inconsistent, and living in self-denial. It pretends to hear no evil; speak no evil; see no evil; and feel no evil.

Nigerians brace for higher electricity costs as tariffs soar
These changes have made it difficult for the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to determine the new electricity prices. This increase is necessary for the electricity sector to cover its expenses. ADVERTISEMENTThe power sector is also facing challenges in meeting the target of supplying at least 5,000 megawatts per year. Experts are urging Nigerians to support the government's efforts to stabilize the economy, even if it means accepting higher electricity prices. They believe these measures are necessary to reduce the country's reliance on foreign exchange and promote a more efficient and accountable energy sector.
