Na by force?? Taking it means dey have to pay for it

Thieves.......That's why they do everything to frustrate people from prepaid meters......I'm still thinking of the right channel to pour out my anger.......because this mofo's just gave us #45000 Nepa bill.......and they care not.

kikero:
Well, they would make the discos more broke then

The truth is, you cannot understand Nigeria's electricity problem without first knowing that the cost of power in Nigeria is less than the production cost.

Even with this recent price increase, a lot of people are still exempted from the thing, then there are the power thieves and those who don't pay

Once you get that, and you also get that gencos have to pay for gas in dollars, not naira, and they have to source for dollars from the open market because the parsimonious CBN won't give then dollars, then you would see why NERC s idea is stark bonkers

Either we run electricity as a proper market, where discos and gencos control the price, and end this NBET illusion, or we are never going to have light 24/7

And Nigerians have to pay their power bills. The problems we have with power are compounded by the large number of people who don't pay up

Clueless. Have you address reason for rejection before punishment for rejection? Always putting cart before the horse.

Kobicove:


Yes, that's the only way to compel them to update their electricity distribution infrastructure

.



mine a flat of 4 tenants got 225k, just for 1 month.
isn't dat crazy

And then there is the phenomenon of bypassing the meter

(It happens)

And the discos were.distributing darkness because until last week, they were selling power at 30 naira per kWh and less, while it cost 53 naira per kWh to produce said power.

All the discos have been running at a loss since inception because we don't want to run them as private companies.

Also, in many areas, between 40-50 percent of subscribers to the discos don't pay their bills. Nationally it is 60 percent

I know Nigerians complain about darkness. But the thing is, the discos and gencos inherited a wrecked sector. And it is going to take a lot of money to fix things.

But we Nigerians want them to build our power sector for us free of charge.

Remember GSM. It used to be very expensive. Because the GSM companies had to build our whole infrastructure from scratch. Nitel was to messed up to produce backbone for basic GSM calls .

The problem I have with Nigerians and electrical power is , we refuse to acknowledge that it is expensive, and it has to be paid from our pockets.

We all paid for GSM . See where we are now

alphaNomega:
Immediately send a letter to your energy supply district manager rejecting that bill! It is ridiculous.

Nitah1:
Of course, why are they always complaining that they are sharing what is apportioned to them from transmission?
This guys are criminals jare....I do not know why their license have not been revoked.


As for AEDC na God go punish them.

akanbiaa:
What is NERC doing about continuous billing by DISCOS after a house have been disconnected from accessing electricity?

ttmax09:
AEDC seems to be the worst of them all. 4 hours of light for the whole day, yet bills keep rolling in.

Tell your landlord to contest that bill. He should also make effort to get a meter installed in that building
