This OP is a learner, a real JJC.

This system of keeping bills to avoid rain, sun and PHCN officials to disconnect has been in existence for a very long time.

Here in Lagos people do it, I don't know where this yeye op come from.

Op na original mumu

Normal thing, even in the most Third World countries, is that once electric bill is paid by a consumer, it immediately reflects on the systems of the energy supplying company. Even thirty years ago, bills reflected on NEPA accounting systems immediately or shortly after payment, such that those NEPA linesmen who go about cutting supplies to debtors knew who the debtors were before setting out for disconnection exercise.

You and those thumbing you up are among the people who don't care a hoot if all of us remain in ever-stagnant or even backward one Nigeria.

Go and live in Sambisa forest. Better for people like you who don't condemn backwardness.

According to the OP, the question is, is this how we roll? Which aslo means, is this how and where our civilization have landed us even in this 21st century?

We need to adopt a more civilize method of doing things than doing it the old usual ways.

We cannot expect to experience change when we decide to do things the same old and antiquated ways and still expect to be relevant in the face of advancement.

What happen with he PHCN officials arming themselves with the list or database of customers that are yet to pay up their bills after a particular deadline given, rather than demanding to see physical paper. There is nothing normal in abnormalcy.

We dont need to put our bills in plastic bottles just to proove our innocence. It does not make any sense. It is an eyesore and does not tell any good of our system.

Tell that MARKone who seems to love it having a Nigeria remaining in the dark ages.
Putting electricity bill inside plastic containers hanging on the front yard to notify electricity supply checkers that one has paid electric bill?

That is a symbol of Nigeria operating in far behind modernity.

Worse still, they would intimidate other Nigerian groups who want to exit from their Nigeria backwardness.

Lol


Thank God for western world

God bless Europe

Some people should just borrow brains!! Or download. You see people inventing simple solutions to common problems and the best you could do is tell us how much you hate Nigeria? on naira land?

PS: If you've actually travelled, you'd know whites do even worse.

Abeg moving on.. http://ceembal.com/2015/09/bucket-list-dont-read-if-you-dont-want-crazy-fun/

codedpee:


I understand ur point of view. I also believe u live in calabar. With d number of insane beings here don't u think it's rather too risky of a job to leave ur valuables outside... for am sure it's quite easy for a mad person to retrieve d entire bottle with impunity. There should b a better way, bro

if at all u stay at calabar then u are new there. wat u see there is now like a way of living in calabar and they are use to it. even the mad men, and secondly calabar is a very safe place.

I tire ooo...Na so e be for my house too joor...

Op came back from Kenya na why he no kw..

Just to avoid disconnection...

That's the way it's done in my area too. It's to protect it from rain.

While walking down a street just beside CRUTECH, calabar, I spotted these funny displays. When I got closer, I discovered that the bottle was used to house a PHCN bill payment slip. It was funny, but then I found myself wondering: is this how we now roll?

This is d new trend

OP, you are not alone, I saw the same thing in Ijebu Ode last two weeks when I travelled there. Expecially, those houses with main entrance gate.

A better way is for PHCN have record of payment from their office. it is common in all states of Nigeria to put a photocopy outside (additional money) PHCN is to be blame. if you complained after disconnecting your line they give excuse because they did not see evidence of payment. SOLUTION. LET PHCN GIVE ALL HOUSES PRE PAID METER

We use to do it in Owerri. It helps to protect the paper from rain and tearing from children,mad people and goats.

Op its actually not funny but wise...the PHCN people dump the reciepts there instead of having to knock and disturb privacy....so learn

If you cannot beat them, you have to join them. PHCN made us to behave this way. Not all the time you have persons at home and if PHCN comes around your area for a general disconnection, you got to be present to explain and show them your bill or you advertise your bill in an empty ragolis bottle to speak for itself. I have same in front of my gate.

Why it is put into this bottle is to avoid rain to wash off or destroy the bill since it is made of paper.

This is Nija for you @ 55 years.
