This country's power situation is nothing to write home about.
There's been no power where I live this year. In fact we didn't enter into this year with electricity from PHCN.
A couple of days after Christmas, 3 "NEPA"(we still prefer calling them NEPA) officials came with ladder asking for payment receipt. There was none to give them because we just moved to the house and its a new building and no meter. They insisted on us paying #7,000. I laughed because I knew that ain't happening and I told them as much.
OK, what was the 7k for? They claimed it was 2k for reconnection(for wire they had not disconnected) and 5k for loss of revenue for a month.
We had not stayed for up to a month and I told them as much. They said I must still pay the 5k. At this point I had called my husband because I'm not really good at these sorts of things.....
