They nearly crucified me on the other threads.

AK481:
See This nonsense some paid Nigeria does ... they divert people from the main topic of protest to how to manage a bad situation .

How come only me see these things ?

imagrg:
I shall suspend the use of AC in my house till further notice.

Honestfrend:
Tinubu the monster they made.... We are all facing the music...

Next time even the blind will have a rethink after collecting 5k and 1/3 bag of rice..

Prigidypogodo:


lol una go adjust tire

Very soon dem go tell una say na energy bulb dey cause am.

The thing is that before government implement any harsh policy they usually employ 2 sets of people.
1st people are those that will water the ground for the policy.
if you can recall before this increment, you've seeing questions on social media like " can you pay 50k or 100k or 200k for 24hrs power supply" ?
people will be thinking it's just a normal random question but it was from those sent to water the ground to see how people will react.
Now they came up with these band of a thing because making it general will backfire since most people on band A are rich Nigerians.
Mark my words it'll gradually spread to other bands slowly and Nigerians will still adjust.
Afterall we now normally buy fuel 700 naira today.

Now they've unleashed the second sets of people to convince you that you don't need power or need little power.
lol Nigerians cannot even read situations.
these guys are paid to say these things, to make it look like you where the cause of your own problem.
Same style was use when fuel was hiked if you can remember.

Fact is that Nigeria will continue to adjust.
will they reach breaking point ?
I don't think so afterall someone boldly said that if Obi should be the one that will make Nigeria look like heaven, he'll rather prefer hell.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
We should just boycott the national grid and switch to solar power supply.

After generating, let them chop the megawatts.

We have abundant natural gas supplies and oil rigs are still flaring methane as we speak

We have abundant crude oil supplies with millions of barrels being lifted per day.




We have water bodies for HEP generation yet Bulaba wants us to smell pepper before we can have power.

Azi gbakwa!

The miserable life the IMF, WEF and others want.

Let me welcome all Band A customers to the “exciting world” of expensive power.

We have been doing it for years as I explained in this post below.

Trust me, forget all your energy savings plans, the real elephant in the room is your AC. And I’ll explain why..

The last time I paid N270/Kwh plus for power was last December. Since then it’s been over N400/Kwh.

And if you are like me, with a household of 5 or more then be rest assured you will spend between 800KWh to 1000KWh for power if you get at least 18 hours of power on the average.

The elephant in the room is your AC.

I’ve seen post here suggesting turning off deep freezers, switching to energy savings bulbs etc helps conserve power. While it’s true, it is nothing close to your AC.

You can turn on your entire fridge, freezer, fans, bulbs for the whole day and you won’t rack up more than 10kwh per day which is equivalent of N2,750 per day.

But turn on a 1hp AC from 7pm to 7am and you incur 8.94KWh or N2,458 for just 12 hours. This is just 1hp.

Here is how you calculate it

Most ACs come in hose powers. So to convert it to KV you multiple by 0.745 and then by the number of hours the power is used to get the KWh.

So for example, if you use three 1hp AC, and 1 2hp AC like I do most nights it gives you 5hp.

Multiply that by 0.745 you get 44.7KWh

Multiply that by 275 you get N12,292 per day or N368.7k per month.

Some engineers will opine the consumption can vary depending on how you manage your AC.

The cooler your AC the more power it consumers. Inverter ACs consume less per hp but those things don’t work very well with our weather. Especially if you live in a big house.

This is going to be the reality of a lot of people who have large households. Especially, if there is power and they want to enjoy from when they come back from work until in the morning.

The average power bill of a 3 bedroom flat with 3 ACs and 20 hours of power should be within the range of N220k monthly.

Juxtapose it to their salaries and you understand what lies ahead for Nigeria’s lower and upper middle class.

Increasing electricity tariff will upend lifestyles more than anything else I’ve witnessed in Nigeria.

For example, real estate, birth control, WFH, long stay guests/relatives, solar power usage etc. a lot of things will change.

Inflation could also rise further.

Like my neighbours, I have solar powered inverters installed which carries everything 24/7 except ACs, water heaters, pumping machine and iron.

Yet, I average 40KWh a day as we turn on the ACs from 7pm to 7am.

Typically, mwith the rains consumptions drop because the ACs work less.

But trust me, this stuff will humble you. Power is not cheap and a rude shock awaits a lot of Nigerians.

increasing it does not make nepa to give us 24 hours light

sufferness dey this nation

Heffalump:
Funny enough, with my Inverter system, I don't need any DISCO. I can even donate power to the grid network.

Government needs to widen the taxs net to capture those not contributing any taxes and stop making life difficult for the poor masses with anti people policies. Our tax to GDP ratio tells you there are too many evaders and stealers of tax along the chain of collection.

We should just boycott the national grid and switch to solar power supply.

After generating, let them chop the megawatts.

Conner44:
Explanations & Statistics, na now Nigerians (along with apc people) go CHOP AM

I paid yesterday and it was N34 per unit on my meter.

Let time reach for me to top up again and see what they would have increased it to
