NERC is loaded with incompetent people. They have silently been increasing it more than four times. It is a big shame, no ome is defending the masses in this government since fashola left as power minister, the new northern person that assumed the position has been conniving with his northern cronies to silently increase power rate more than four times now and no one is talking

Even with prepaid meter you will wondering what is drinking your unit.

It's funny how everyone remains in a higher regime/ class, even when supply is below the minimum number of hours for the lowest regime/ class.
All classes ought to collapse into a uniform regime when supply is below the minimum of the lowest class. The fuel or diesel alternative is unavailable now and all one has is an apology from NNPC?
That's how INEC apologised to those who wasted money on high transport fares at 2am on the postponed election day, during the last elections.
Nigerians feed well on apologies from the Police, Army, Health Service, Civil Service, INEC, NNPC, the Presidency.
Nigerians need to feed on compensations, instead.

These people are taking us for granted..without this increment, my area in Ikorodu is pegged at 12hrs daily - D class, but the unit I was served in my December bill was close to 500

Tell me how 12 x 31 got to 400, even with a day off & 2 days on rationing..

See they are thesame thing, criminals milking us.

Late January in Abuja, I bought 2000 Naira and I was given 39.9 unit, only to recharge again mid February, I was given 36 units ...even the 36 units don't last for a week

Noticed same thing here in Lagos when I recharged last week.

Government and DISCOs joining hand to rip off citizens yet for the past one month power supply has been very poor.

NERC and APC and Buhari are evil.

Ikeja Electric distribution company also increased the tarrifs last week. I usually received 184 units for #10000 but I received 174 units last week. They thought we won't spot the difference. This is like the second times in 3 months they've increased the price. They didn't really care about us or how we will feel. It's all all about the disco and FG interest


Same thing I observed here, but because of the years of crazy bills I was indifferent to the marginal increase. It is not about the units price alone,without additional appliances it consume more units than before

*STATE OF THE NATION*
*A SELF DECEIVING COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA !!*

*Twenty-one senators currently receiving pensions from government as ex-governors and deputy governors.*

*The current senators who once served as governors are Ibrahim Gaidem of Yobe, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau of Kano, Kabiru Gaya of Kano, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, Theodore Orji of Abia, Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa, Sam Egwu of Ebonyi, Shaaba Lafiagi of Kwara, Joshua Dariye of Plateau Jonah Jang of Plateau, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto, Ahmed Sani Yarima of Zamfara, Danjuma Goje of Gombe, Bukar Abba Ibrahim of Yobe, Adamu Aliero of Kebbi, George Akume of Benue and Isiaka Adeleke of Osun and so on*

*The former deputy governors in the Senate are Ms Biodun Olujimi of Ekiti and Enyinaya Harcourt Abaribe of Abia. Danladi Abubakar Sani served as the acting governor of Taraba state.*

*Many former governors are also in Buhari's Cabinet as Ministers. This includes: Ngige, Fayemi, Amaechi and Fashola (SAN)*

*In Akwa Ibom State, the law provides that ex governors and deputy governors receive pension equivalent to the salaries of the incumbent. The package also includes a new official car and a utility vehicle every four years; one personal aide; a cook, chauffeurs and security guards for the governor at a sum not exceeding N5 million per month and N2.5 million for his deputy governor.*

*In Rivers, the law provides 100 percent of annual basic salaries for the ex-governor and deputy, one residential house for the former governor “anywhere of his choice in Nigeria”; one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the deputy, three cars for the ex-governor every four years and two cars for the deputy every four years.*

*It is alledged that in Lagos, a former governor will get two houses, one in Lagos and another in Abuja, estimated at N500 million in Lagos and N700 million in Abuja. He also receives six new cars to be replaced every three years; a furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be paid every two years, and a N30 million pension annually for life.*

*This is the reality for all the 21 ex govenors and deputy governors who are currently serving as senators. This same is also true of ex governors who are now serving as Ministers.*

*NOW I ASK:*
*How many years did these guys serve their states as governors and deputy governors?Is it more than 8years? Is that a reason to be entitled to pensions for life?* *Even if they are entitled to pension for life, must it be so outrageous?*

*As if that is not enough: HOW on earth can any public servant with conscience collect salaries and allowances as a senator or minister, and still have the audacity to claim pensions equivalent to the salaries of a serving governor in Nigeria?*

*IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE. *

*Once you are elected a senator or appointed a minister, you must forfeit any pension accruing to you from government at any level until you vacate office. This should also apply to senators collecting military pensions like former Senate President David Mark.*

*Yet these senators are in the Senate that is inviting the current finance minister to discuss the recession of Nigeria's economy. A senator pockets approximately 30 million naira monthly as salary and allowances. Our "honourables" are not interested to make laws that could restructure our country into economically autonomous federating States/Regions to save the country from sectional agitations that is threatening to destroy Nigeria. The sad and hopeless situation is that the rest of Nigerians are busy arguing based on party, ethnic and affiliations while these enemies of state continue to rape us.*

*Do you know that it costs tax payers 290m Naira yearly to maintain each member of our National Assembly in a country where nothing works & 80% of population earn below 300 Naira a day ? A working day earning of a senator is more than a yearly income of a doctor; it's more than the salary of 42 Army generals or 48 professors or 70 commissioners of police or more than twice the pay of the US President or 9 times the salary of US congressmen.*

*It's high time the country had a referendum on those outrageous salaries of Senators, House of Representative members and other political office holders.*

*If you are seriously against the looting of our commonwealth in Nigeria, in the name of democracy, you can let this piece go viral by sharing it with as many of your contacts and groups too!*

This incessant tariff increase is not fair on the public.

If your car has broken down and you out of funds, run over to Flickwheel for a loan you can pay back in installments with shikini intereste.
