I can get anybody a prepaid meter but seeing the kind of evil men at the
helm of power supply frustrating the availability of the meter, I might be arrested if found out and how to integrate the meter into their system is another hurdle so that you can recharge it.

"From the benefit of hindsight and historically, most distribution of power sectors realised that when you introduce prepaid meters, revenue drops. Because it is prepaid, people get conscious of consumption and they thereby reduce usage. Then we discovered that prepayment leads to more bypassing. If we meter the distribution transformers, at least we can audit and know what energy has gone to a particular area and from there we can then see the bills that have not been issued. We will know that within that locality there is an issue and we can then send our team to go and look at what is happening. We have decided to do a mix: post-paid metering, prepaid metering and also metering the distribution transformers. By this, we will be able to have real case scenarios."

That further buttresses the point that the problem with Nigeria is Nigerians. Not religion.

Get yourself updated. Soon some private contractors called MAPs - meter access providers will be licensed to sell prepaid meters . It's soon going to be like you going out there to buy a sim card.

They were supposed to start functioning April 28 but politics is holding them back.


Even Phcn in my area is going out there ones they've being keeping free.

Oboy na free light me dey use for the past 8 months now. Don’t ask me why and how because PHCN staff caused it. Whenever they come to my hood, I just let loose my neighbor’s Caucasians and Boeboel.
So that gives you joy? You are part of the problem we are facing as a country.

Only a broke man will be worrying about this.

Marry a good woman and work hard to make sure she never lacks.

Our meter was stolen before I was born, yet they still bring outrageous bills to my house, even when the light isn't up to one full week, In a month.
Well who pays that fucking bill?, there was even a time we decided to clear our old bill, because they promised us a new meter, but they never fulfilled it. So now I don't pay there fucking bills any longer, until Phed gives us a prepaid meter

what do you know? Who were the previous sellers? Where did they get it from? What defines a criminal act? Are the current players not short changing Nigerians? You are just an ignorant Nigerian and so I won't waste my energy.

Just a serious policy and law will solve the problem but our government are not smart or it just wickedness, the senate are suppose to be discussing these kind of issues but instead they prefer to go to go check Dino in the hospital.... government just need to make a law that no prepaid meter no pay by customers then you will see all these distributing companies will provide meters under just one month

Receipt Ke. I pray I even get it. Last Nepa guy I gave 100k to in december, I had to threaten him to get my money back in April.

I have met with the head for Nepa in my area, and he says no meter, but I don't want estimated. Light is not so bad, but in last 3 days now, no light. and I will burn fuel and still pay such huge price on estimated. It cannot work.

WHere can I get it for free?

A country built on exploiting the poor masses would always be limited in growth.How do we attain improved power supply when the DISCO's have refused to do the needful by sharing the prepaid meters? I'm quite sure that if the government had made it mandatory for the DISCO's to provide prepaid meters before they can generate revenue since 2013 maybe by now we would have been getting at least 20 hours of electricity per day.

The discos are hording the meters,they know the very day its made available to every home their scam and illegal exhortation will come to an end.

Estimated billing is a scam that is as old as Nigeria.

I love this thread. U see heeen, the government knows our weak point as citizens. Our weak points includes the following; Tribal, religion and political party. Immediately we stop to consider this when addressing national issues the better for us. How on earth should the unavailability of prepaid metre in which I will pay for linger for donkey years. I pay for power that I can only imagine consuming. Accumulated bills here and there. This is how we should address issues in unison and let's put the triad of bigotry aside.
