MY LANDLADY REQUESTED FOR PREPAID BEFORE I MOVE AND ITS STILL NOT INSTALLED.

THIS IS MY SECOND YEAR IN THE APARTMENT.

Surprise ko darkness ni. Raining season is here we know what to expect!

even last year raining season it was still worse, except some very few areas.
The truth is that these private companys are not ready to improve the power or even invest in anything creating power. all they know how to do is estimated billing, bunch of crooks.
They are even against providing prepaid meters because they know they might fall short.
I'm very sure if every home have a prepaid meter then they will be serious in providing power because the amount of power consumed will be compared to how much they make as profit.

mfm04622:


Yes, that is how they do. Any amount that you left after pre-paid customers have paid will b shared to unmetered customers. It does make sense abi? Since power supplied ha been consumed by someone. I can assure you that meters mounted on poles have been bypassed. It is the people that bypass meters that makes estimated bills higher

No it doesn't make any sense bro.

let them share meter and see if people will not learn to manage the unit on their meter.

estimated bill is a scam so lets say no to it..

Until when lagosians stop shouting 'up nepa', I comment my reserve.

People dont really understand how the entire process works;Power Generation and Transmission are two different things.As of now,Nigeria does not have necessary instruments to transmit power ,they can only generate to some extent.Just check around and find how many substations you can find.Most of the transformers are old and they can't bear much load.

To build a standard power substation,you need around 5.6b. In Lagos for example,they need about 20 Substations(66KV).I wish the GENCOS can also fortify the power transmission by building more substations.I pity Fashola for accepting that appointment of having 3 ministries under him.

CROWNWEALTH019:
Fashola is just too useless, he's a foolish fool. A fool that is just too foolish...


He said a serious government would fix light in six months, later he insulted the god of afonjas in charge of light saying he can't produce 1 megawatt . Now he's saying we should expect power after 2 years of power failure. He should tell that to his zombies not me

igwebuike01:
Power naturally improves around July-November in Nigeria, its because of heavy rainfall improve performance of the hydro power stations. It happens every year. Fashola keep quiet

Are we in July already?

elmagnifo:
hey I don't need to prove anything to you. You can believe what I said or choose not to believe it.

Your cup of tea But the fact is, kaduna state enjoys steady electricity supply.

he is an ipob they always wish this country bad, in my area in Lagos there is relative improvement not like before so I believe there is improvement.children of HATE keep hating Nigeria will be great .

Ok nah!

Fashola is an idiot to think that NIGERIANS are that gullible.

Oblang:

Do you have light in your hood?

caprini1:
Abeg no being barca here..... cheats.We are talking about men that plays football,not Messi and the 10 actors.

Mr fashola, please confirm is on your instruction that Gencos or Discos should CODE METERS/ACCOUNT NUMBRS so that we will be given estimated bills monthly? How can you do that to active working meters? You cannot be stealing from struggling masses in the name of generating revenue that will be looted on collection. If this is the reason pre-paid meter is not supplied to consumers, then, it is high rated robbery which is higher than Anini's method who was stealing and throwing it on the street for the masses to pick. Please stop this broadday light robbery. You cannot sit in your comfort zone to cookup meter reading all in the name of lazinesr of not wanting to roam the street to read meters. Nti oda, oda.

mfm04622:


The problem is people are bypassing the meters! Most DISCOs don't recovery up to half of the power they supply to consumers

And when the DISCO's refuse to supply, there'll be cursing and hating that Fashola isn't competent

A suggested way out is to meter every consumer as soon as possible so as to reduce wastage caused by consumers putting on appliances they don't need and bill for what is consumed. In this way there will be power available, incrementally, for serious consumers . If supply is low, everybody will understand Penalise, heavily, without exception anyone bypassing or tampering with the meters- with Government legislations. As it is now, the discos are very very comfortable with the bulk meters at every transformers sites and the cracy bills they issue. Leave them, they will keep giving excuses of all types. Power sector development have never been considered important until recently when everyone is expecting magic. But metering should be the first priority. Tarrif can then be adjusted as situation demands while development is going alongside.

joeyfire:
Fashola is making noise because rainy season usually means improved electricity. Na today

CROWNWEALTH019:

Madrid vs juventus .... I go for Pablo dybala

Watch out for Isco

Until then. No be by Noise making.




Watching in 3D.

we are surprised already. wen despite d rationing (2days ON- 2DAYS OFF) we are still charged the same bill monthly.

elmagnifo:
I don't know, but here in kaduna(where I reside), we use to have constant electricity supply these days. 22/23hrs of electricity everyday.

yeah we get 19-20 hours here. But APC promised us 24 hours, uninterrupted power supply

There is nothing like surprises, we all know that there is always light in rainy seasons so u cant deceive us, we are not that dumb

mfm04622:

The Onus is on Discos to monitor and punish those who bypass. The offense is Economic sabotage.

But nothing in the world can justify a situation where Discos will by themselves determine the units of electricity used by a consumer. It is improper and unacceptable.

The fact that the consumer could be on long or short vacation, hospitalised or on temporary transfer from his residence does not matter to Discos. The consumer is expected to pay an estimated bill regardless of any situation.

Nigeria is the only country where people are not metered for electricity and are expected to pay any bill given to them. It is shameful!

That the only way power will improve . The current system allows DISCOS to actually sell darkness under the guise of estimated billing and as long as they can do that no one is going great to want to improve electricity

Yea, light is quite constant in kd, were u stay?

But they sent Madrid packing in 2015

That's Kaduna but other parts of the country can't boast of that except selected towns,villages and cities
