Please can't Maiduguri people transport the light to Lagos
Abi? Instead of clamoring for prepaid metres, they are begging for reduction in supply. They should loan us just 12 hours a day.

I had experienced similar thing but I received the shock of my life when the bill started increasing. Those NEPA staffs as I call them knew that we pay certain amount on monthly basis yet they increased our bills so as to pay more whereas my peeps on prepaid metre pay less yet they still use all their gadgets. This time around they use energy saving bulbs instead of the yellow one. This is in addition to other appliances they have.Since the electricity company has target to meet, they astronomically increase their charges in order to recoupe what they had spent on purchasing electricity from Genco.
Those ur peeps might be bypassing.

History has been made by Buhari. It has never happened in Nigeria from 1960 to 2015 that communities and cities get more power supply than required. Next level!
Next level to more killings and sufferings.Fashola say Buhari is not responsible if you don't have light.

See them.clamoring for prepaid meters

Same meters they'll turn around to bypass

Thieves


No mind them... Na thieves plenty pass out of these customers... Give them prepaid meters and they will still steal (Bypass) from the discos...

One was caught in my area and ended up paying #350,000 as fine....

Majority of those customers saying they vend #2000-#3000 every month have bypassed their prepaid meters...

Naija wahala too much not small.


So this folks are now rejecting constant power supply which everyone is praying for? Here in the south east many people still get light ones a week from eedc.
don't you think the headline is a little misleading?
The people are actually protesting being over billed not really about 24hour Power

Its not about issue of been over billed... the more stable electricity is the more u pay..

The amount u pay for electricity depends majorly on availability of supply (how stable)... thats what most people dont understand...

I have not seen a country as primitive and stu.pid as Nigeria. which kind news be this now?

first of all, the news is a blatant lie cuz no pictures to buttress the claim and the source self is questionable.

but wait ooo, maiduguri abi watin dey call them that is being ravaged by boko haram are having 24 hours electricity while Lagos or other developed cities that needs this light hardly see it. How stu.pid and foolish is this if its even tru?

i feel like vomiting on reading this news. And what is more annoying is that the primitive people there don't even know that there something called prepaid meter which they should protest to given one instead protesting the availability of electricity.

i just wish Americans or even Ghanaians dont see this news. so fo.olish.

lol...de dia old... That's the thing they are doing in Jos... When ever they start mass metering, when ever you go for capturing after installation, they clear all outstanding debts... Nothing like make I wise up it's something that I have seen... The present compound am staying now that was what happened... So nothing like moving the outstanding to the meter... Except you go and buy the meter, that's when they will ask you to pay 25k and that's for debt recovery so not like you are buying the meter but you paid part of your debt

like I said if you go to pay for it and they tell you a certain amount to pay, you not actually paying for the meter but your debt recovery... But if you wait for mass metering, they clear it for you automatically because they forcing the meter on you with or without telling them... Even if you home or not, they fix the meter and leave
