Reference:
I don't know why people complain of charges for service not rendered. If you know the thing doesn't work simply cut it off. If I am running my power plant for 18 hours a day or have not public service for such a period constantly then I simply ask them to withdraw their services till it improves to make economic sense. I don't get the complaints. Power is PRIVATISED. Competencies and liabilities have been shared across the society. Everyone is now a stakeholder. If you can power your town, if you can't power your street, if you can't power your home, if you can't power your room, if you can't power your self but by all means stop complaining and power something.

Have you tried asking them to withdraw their services? The kind begging they will beg you, won't have part 2. Then they will refuse and take their time to actually do so.

Last week, we went to pay the bill for the most epileptic supply yet. There was no light in their office and their worker was asleep at her desk in the heat.

This week, I'm somewhere where I don't have to grab my electronics and rush to charge them before they take light and see the difference in how I think and what I can achieve. I mentioned it to the guy beside me and he replied that if NEPA provided light for 48 hours, he would cry and wonder how to feed his family. People like him and your powerful Nigerians (like Atiku, who is on the board of Directors for Mikado generator) are satisfied with the status quo.

How can Nigerians be creative and innovative, when they're still struggling to provide the basics?

These yeye people should not annoy me ooo.... After payin 16200 last month with just 2hrs in 48hrs of light....what kind of 15days billing is that..
For 4days at a stretch now no light, with neighbouring area enjoyin lyk never b4.If I get hold of one phcn official eh, God knows I would throw this "ladies" stuff away *angry mood*

The bolded caught my attention, why would they beg anyone?



That amount is rather high, you should complain however you need to understand why the bill is high first. If you look at the bill, in the column where the amount of electricity is written, is there a D or E?
D means direct connection(assumes no meter).
E means estimated billing which they sometimes use to overcharge.
(Your disco might use different terms though).
EKo disco, my neigbour that moved out of his flat since lst yr is still receiving bill(78k nw)....funny enough there is no wire on d pole as dis has been removed since.....where den did dey get there estimation from......
Its so frustrating.
When the lady said 15days in the article, she was most likely referring to the fixed charge portion of your bill not the energy (consumption) charge.
