Pukkah:

Which area of Ojodu? Sabo or Berger? Omole Estate or River Valley Estate? Or is it Akute road? None of the areas in Ojodu gets up to 21 hours a day.

Power has improved nationwide in terms of supply from the power generating stations but some states, especially Lagos, are still not enjoying it because of old dilapidated equipments like bad transformers and feeders lines. The places in Lagos that are enjoying the improved power are mostly new areas which obviously have new transformers, feeders, etc or some areas that have had their equipment upgraded. So you will find that places like Ikorodu, many parts of Surulere, parts of Yaba, festac, Ikoyi, Anthony, Parts of Ikeja, Ogba, Ojodu among others, have improved power. Some areas don't have transmission stations so they have to "borrow" power from other areas. Such areas will only get a few hours allocation. Satellite town is terrible because they have to transmission station close by and their feeder lines are bad. These are issues that can only truly be resolved by the new DISCOs. The present PHCN staff are too incompetent and wicked to do it. They will collect money from a community before they replace their transformer. These transformers are those actually purchased by the FG for onward distribution but the PHCN hierhachy will corner it, and resell it to communities in black market style. Am so glad they are being kicked out.

Lagos is particularly affected because Lagos is growing in leaps and bounds and the populations increasing geometrically. So most of the transformers are overloaded.

Ojodu has d worst experience wit phcn,,av even ran away from ojodu now,,lol

It isn't a lie. The transmission station at Ojodu Berger has just been commisioned and power has improved but like I said in my previous post, not every part will feel it immediately because some areas still need to change their transformers, stepdown stations and feeder lines. Some parts are enjoying almost uninterrupted power.

Thatz a big lie.This is my 7th year in Ojodu and the light situation hasn't improved any bit.As a matter of fact the only thing that has "improved" is the NEPA bill.When I first moved into ojodu in 2006,my first light bill was about N560.00k.Now I pay as high as N18,000/month for the same 3 bedroom flat.Infact there is no Light as at the time of sending in this reply.Thank God for the cold weather due to rainfail this night.

You see yourself? You have lived in that area for 7 years so all your feeder lines and transformers are on the verge of expiry. Your area is also now too old and far from the discotheque for "magawatts" to find your area. Keep hope alive! Magawatts is coming to a disco near you this rainy season. angry

I ve reason to stay at hotel in Oshodi,Charity area. Icahn say I am surprise they enjoy about 20hrs of electricity.
EKo O Ni Ba Je O.
Unlike my state Governor Amechi who promised us constant electricity by December 2012. All we get is 2hrs of constant electricity per day on the average within Rumuokwuta and Ada George area.

In my area it is true, around Aina,Adigboluja,Muritala and surroundings like that we enjoy up to 20hrs power supply daily if not more.

...Wait is Akute part of ojodu

Re: Ojodu Has The Best Power Supply In Lagos by olly4life: 6:40am On Mar 05, 2013
I marvel @ some comments here, rejoicing over 6hrs, 12hrs, 21 hrs light when ur retarded oga said light has improved. We need to b enjoying this light 24hrs a day equally across d country. If some of U̶̲̥̅̊ travel out of d country & see light continuously, am sure U̶̲̥̅̊ will not settle 4 nothing less 24hrs. Am not impress @ all. E.g U̶̲̥̅̊ are entitle to an orange but it was cut into 4 pieces & U̶̲̥̅̊ are giving 1 peace & U̶̲̥̅̊ start rejoicing dat U̶̲̥̅̊ av an orange. Nigeria think.
Re: Ojodu Has The Best Power Supply In Lagos by akymme(m): 7:12am On Mar 05, 2013
ojodu will always have the best power supply because the deputy governor of lagos state lives there.
Re: Ojodu Has The Best Power Supply In Lagos by Nobody: 7:28am On Mar 05, 2013
Why cant these shameless ACN/APC propagandists post comments about light situation in their own area and allow others to freely do the same? Why do the ACN/APC propagandists try to bully anyone that admits to improved power supply? Why is the ACN/APC propagandists LOSING SLEEP because of the progress we'r seeing in almost every sector? Why is the ACN/APC propagandists anti-progress?

Re: Ojodu Has The Best Power Supply In Lagos by jagabanban: 7:36am On Mar 05, 2013
I used to reside in Lagos and while I would agree that power supply in Ojodu is better than what is obtained in most parts of Lagos, I disagree with the statistics of 21 hours given by @ OP. A plausible reason for the good supply Ojodu enjoys is that a former MD of NEPA has a house around the Aina axis, and anytime he is in town, NEPA becomes 'born again' . . .
Re: Ojodu Has The Best Power Supply In Lagos by oddy4real(m): 8:25am On Mar 05, 2013
I stay at Bar Beach Towers, Bishop Oluwole Crescent, Victoria Island and we have light for AT LEAST, 18 hours a day.
In my residence at Oluyole in Ibadan too, the same is obtainable!
