THE new tariff of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) will take effect from today, according to the Multi Year Tariff Order (MYTO) regime. According to the new tariff,

Nigerians will now be paying N40 per kilowatt as against N8 per kilowatt in the old regime.

Guys na like this we go dey keep quiet?. NEPA wey no dey supply anything, go dey bring estimated bill later. We must to riot o.

This is madness. 500% increase who does dat? Haba, this means if you use 5000 light everymonth now you will pay 25000 every month foer light. Anyway, Goodluck to us, na all of us go suffer am together

N30 or N25 makes more sense imo. N40 is too high.

@ekt

See what we have been discussing, I was at PHCN today to complain about two weeks blackout, the guy told me that they just fixed a feeder pillar that had issue (30 minutes job o) and unfortunately we are off today so no electricity until we are on, now I am expected to pay 40 Naira per KWh for estimated bill, kai we don suffer for this country, we are now to pay twice as much as you guys in the US with your minimum wage probably 8 times ours.

Like Fela kuti said, Nigerians will be suffering and smiling!

black devil leave Nigeria alone we spent too many years on these fantasy crap GOD pls time for realty,

Err, it looks like N8.50 to N10. . . .

Yeah, its N10 I also heard, the end of the month will tell. If the N40 is true then PHCN should be ready to disconnect the whole country and cripple our economy that's trying to crawl

PLEASE IT'S HIGH TIME WE PRAY TO GOD AS WEV'E BEEN DOING, Let GOD INTEEVEN

This is interesting, we are been encouraged indirectly to engage in illegal-NEPA-connection and by-pass.
No wahala, I just hope they are ready for the showdown.

the pikin wey say him mama no go sleep, him too must keep vigil

I believed that our Law maker are not sleeping because no light and they want to increase the traffic of PHCN .
Our law maker should react with immediate effect. Thank you Nigerians and God Bless Nigeria.

I have always have my reservations for that paper, it`s like PM news. It lacks the basic principles of journalism. I don`t read it.

Not until we rise up to face our problems squarely and stop calling for prayers only, this will never stop!
Ok, lets pray all will be well! Nigerians, wake up and stop these stealing Govt!!!

NAIJA PEEPS STAND UP.
LETS UNITE AND FIGHT THESE OLODO PEOPLE WEY NO SABI WETIN DEM DEY DO.

Every news paper reported between N8.50-N10,
Only Tribune took theirs to N40.00,
Who do we believe?

As a way of observation, every paper reported the age of Christie Igbokwe as 51, only Tribune call its own 50,

Indirectly,govt is indirectly telling us to continue using our generators.

Tribune where art thou credibility?
