It is the best because you save cost.

That meter automatically pegs your usage. If I have it at the back of my mind am paying just 15k for unlimited access, I feel more comfortable

Thats just me....

Leave all running, Even when I return at night and no light, The house feels so cold and still would have access to hot water

You feel me? Like I said, Its just me

tete7000:


See as you talk as if prepaid meter is something they go to supermarket and get off the shelves. If it is that straightforward, everyone would have it, who likes to pay for something he doesn't use. The problem is that Buhari government since they came onboard has ensured the meters are not available. All these caption of 24hrs uninterrupted light is just a ruse, if you read well, you will understand what people are complaining of is outrageous billing. BEDC here in Asaba are doing the same, giving a moderate electric using household a bill of N23000 monthly with light that is barely available. The most ironic part is they disconnect you and still keep bringing more outrageous bill for power they themselves cut off. Buhari govt is a colossal failure.

In Maiduguri they even beg some of these people to pay for prepared meter...but they usually refuse, due to heavy appliances they usually use

No light wahala..
Now there's light wahala .

I no con understand again oo

xcelentattitude:



In my hometown Area in Ibadan (olororo, challenge), They still ration the light and we only have light from say maybe 12am - 5am. When the light is completely useless to you, abi pesin no go sleep? The light is in sharp contrast with that of where I live in Abj.

If they even give light at night I will be happy.
Imagine someone getting light at 4am to dawn even iin this hot season.

Abi oo.

I no longer care about billing... If them like, make them bring 200k bill for the month, Na still 3k I go pay... After all when they come to meter you, your debts will be cleared for free

24 hr.power supply up North unlike South West especially Ogun State and Ondo state despite having high built power stations in their areas but with no single drop of part of the supply through the construction of a 330/132 kV substation in the area concerned rather the entire load is sent to the national grid for the states with no power stations to enjoy 24 hr. uninterrupted power supply while the real power supply producers continue to stay in black outs. Fashola it is over to you let the power supply producing areas enjoy part of their products.

obaataaokpaewu:
I believe it, because I have had such experience. 33kv lines are straight from TCN and have power flowing 247 except it trips on fault or TCN's maintenance. So on the average, they may be having upto 20hours monthly supply. If YEDC is to bill, they will bill for the energy they draw from transmission, so they will end up overbilling majority of the people that are on direct connection

And you think this is happening in Maidugri of all places?

So you prefer estimated billing even if it is outrageous?.
Since you love it that way your electricity company will be smiling to the bank

NIGERIA sai BABA!!! sai BUHARI!!!!!!!!!

Since you drug pushers, kidnappers and armed robbers are more creative and productive, kindly use your creativity and productivity to generate and distribute light to your houses and companies. ISI EWU......

they're all that n still better than you. anuofia

Lie oo, I disagree with this news!
.
I'd support 20/7 OR 22/7 but not 24/7...

Heyyyyyy!!!!!.....

I have experienced both worlds and know estimated billing pays for me

I get 15k a month fixed and I love it. Even if I put an industrial AC or grinding machine in my house, they will still bring 15k AT THE END OF THE MONTH

I had experienced similar thing but I received the shock of my life when the bill started increasing. Those NEPA staffs as I call them knew that we pay certain amount on monthly basis yet they increased our bills so as to pay more whereas my peeps on prepaid metre pay less yet they still use all their gadgets. This time around they use energy saving bulbs instead of the yellow one. This is in addition to other appliances they have.Since the electricity company has target to meet, they astronomically increase their charges in order to recoupe what they had spent on purchasing electricity from Genco.

What do they do with power supply in Bornu state? Maybe to enable Boko haram bomb factory to function at full capacity.

crazygod:
Make prepaid meters available.

even with prepaid meter, they are likely to pay more. we use prepaid meter here is Ogun state with steady power Suppy and I pay between 11-18k every months

Nigerianization:
Get prepaid meters then.

Please reserve the protests for sensitive issues
This one no follow

The prepaid meter that you have provided ?

The only solution to this is to get a prepaid meter, not to reduce the number of hours.

NIGHTMARE0O7:

My guy you dey sell beans Abi? how much for 4 cups? make you delay like before oh!

HazzanTazzan:


The prepaid meter that you have provided ?

No be fight abeg. I am only emphasizing that 24 hours of power supply should not warrant a protest.

They should rather protest against crazy billings and insist on prepaid meters.

I doubt if the bills would be reduced even they asked. What is lacking are prepaid meters; and the Distribution Companies would not give because that will end the fraudulent bills that the customers get. This is as the government looks on...

So let the company direct the supply to Lagos and other high end states...

As we already paid in advance for years of power supply that we did not and still do not get.

Wiseandtrue:

This people and backwardness eeeeh

Why not just request for billing reduction

myboy2111:

Maiduguri not Yola...The name of the company is Yola Electricity Dist. Coy

Yes the company's name is Yola Electricity distribution company but It's Maiduguri residents who are protesting not Yola. I guess it's because Yola is the regional electric centre there.

duduade:
Please can't Maiduguri people transport the light to Lagos

Abi o. Or to Warri sef. �

obaataaokpaewu:
They are prolly on 33kv line. They should protest to be metered and not reduction in availability

They won't give them meters. They make more money from the current system. Besides, what they charge you is not the same as the record they keep. It's part of the corruption going on in Nigeria. They should form an association and take the case to court. You need light but you should be charged for what you consume. The metering system is the way to go.

what sense have you made?

I have not seen a country as primitive and stu.pid as Nigeria. which kind news be this now?

first of all, the news is a blatant lie cuz no pictures to buttress the claim and the source self is questionable.

but wait ooo, maiduguri abi watin dey call them that is being ravaged by boko haram are having 24 hours electricity while Lagos or other developed cities that needs this light hardly see it. How stu.pid and foolish is this if its even tru?

i feel like vomiting on reading this news. And what is more annoying is that the primitive people there don't even know that there something called prepaid meter which they should protest to given one instead protesting the availability of electricity.

i just wish Americans or even Ghanaians dont see this news. so fo.olish.

Uncivilised bunch of tree climbers. I heard one hopeless animal saying drug pushing as if his families don't take drugs... Jealous inferior apes we share country with.. Separation is only the answer to know who's the best of all black race.

duduade:

i swear! Na only for north these constant light dey oh! Ones u cross lokoja upwards na steady light.

PH still dey ration light since 1990.

I believe it's typing error.He meant 7am to 4pm.

History has been made by Buhari. It has never happened in Nigeria from 1960 to 2015 that communities and cities get more power supply than required. Next level!
