Please advice me on this issue. My husband rented the house last august, but didn't start living there until about October (we got married in December)I had an accident two weeks later and had to go live with sis-in-law for about 3weeks after i was discharged. when I got back home i asked about light bill and my husby said that the landlady is yet to give him any bill,( landlord resides in Abuja, comes in once in a while and we are the only tenant) my husby got tired of asking for his share of the bill and said he wont ask again, I took it upon myself to ask the landlady at intervals so it wont seem as if husband and wife are using light and kept quite about the bill, she she kept telling me that some crazy bill needs to be sort out, and mistake on the bill regarding the surname needs to be rectified too, that even they have not been paying and no NEPA official can disconnect the building (she is Gen-Sec Landlord Association). fast forward to about a week ago, she gave my husby a bill amounting to N10,049.00, few days after she sent one of her wards to come collect the money, we didnt have much but my husby gave the girl 6k. after 3 days the woman returned the money. when my husby asked her why she returned the money she annoyingly said its not complete, i was furious, that in this harsh economy does she expect us to pay the 10k at once, its not our fault the bill accumulated and someone that paid 6k out of 10k no try? i told my husby if its after 5 weeks we see the balance that is when they will be paid. we are not going out of our way to look for the balance. is my decision wrong? cos husby want to look for their money by all means.

You guys even try, since January this year, I never pay a dime for electricity. Where is the light in the first place, I told my landlord to disconnect me from PHCN. How can I be running generator 24/7 and still expect me to pay for electricity that I don't consume. Mtcheewwww. Please take your time don't let anybody intimidate you jare. Economy is very harsh. No money anywhere

To be fair to Nepa, they are trying a bit in my area, most days we get at least 12 hrs a day, unless there is a major fault.
