Please I don't know what section this fits in,but crime I think is what this is,that is the only thing that can explain this wickedness by EKDC


Good evening beautiful nairalanders

Our community is/has been having serious issues with Eko Electricity Distribution Company, I stay in a small gated community called Losoro, in Lakowe, School Gate bus stop,Ibeju-Lekki LGA, our community is a fast developing community with many new houses built on a daily and people swarming in,however, one of the major problems of this quiet and peaceful community is the issue of light,in the whole of 2018,we have not had light for 1 month combined, not to bore you with laments,let me go straight to the point.

Around January 2018,our community's transformer began having serious issues,it is not new,but lately, it has been very persistent, the transformer makes a loud bang and all the houses ut was serving was thrown into complete and total darkness,it will take at least 2 weeks before the EKDC will fix it,after fixing, it usually delivers very low current to most houses,so low you can't even see the light on the bulb at night,well,we didn't complain because it at least, charged our phones, but soon,it gets spoilt again not even up to a week after it is fixed,that has been the challenge week in week out until around May 2018,the regular bang happened again, this time, it was very serious,the bang was so loud,we complained to EKDC, they came,took the transformer away,promising to bring a new one,it never came till around ending August,when they brought our old transformer,repackaged and repainted to look like new,they fixed it,and in 2 days time,it produced an even louder bang,one that has never been heard,the community complained again, but nothing was done,we were in complete darkness till November 2018 when we decided to help ourselves and get a new transformer ourselves, even though it was in no way our duty as we pay the outrageous bills brought to us without a choice because meters has not been given to us, due to the recklessness and wickedness of our system,each house gathered the sum of N7,500 to purchase a new transformer which we got in December, we called on the EEDC officials to fix if but for weeks,they failed to, until we had to give them little cash, they came and fixed it but refused to power it on, what was their reason?

They asked the community to write a letter saying they donated the transformer to EKDC as a gift and that we should give the receipt to them.

We blatantly refused since we knew that it was solely the community's money,so the officials refused to power on the transformer,it has been lying there since Early December till date,unused.

Few days ago, some EKDC officials came and removed something in the new transformer,the youths had to go to the office in anger,demanding that they return whatever they took off because it is not their property, it took lots of tempers flaring before they put back what they took,the community had to resort to hiring security for the transformer and are planning on making a caged house for it, little wonder they say We as Nigerians are our own Problem, how can we buy something with our own money and you will be forcing us to gift it out to you?

We didn't ask them to be so useless in their duty,they know it may implicate them,that is why they have resorted to this devilish means of black mail,every house in the community now has gen,residents are complaining as fuel is not on the cheap side,every night,you can't sleep in peace as every house have their gen powered almost all through the night due to the unbearable heat in Lagos, I as a Videographer and Video editor spend thousands on fuel daily and it's really frustrating, sleeping inside the heat,pressing clothes has become a thing for the wealthy in the community, everything is just difficult, this is mans wickedness to man, injustice at its peak, we need to spread the word and save our darling community, aside from the terrible road conditions, this is our major challenge, lalasticlala please we need this to get to the relevant authorities, we have no other person or place to run to,we are frustrated,the wickedness of the wicked must come to an end.
