Ausrichie:

Meter that they can not give bah. How do you expect people to pay when the power supply is horrible. If the service was good it will be another story entirely.

Ethanegos:


They were supposed to come in with their investment capital to fix the issues which is obviously ravaging the power sector. Then we can pay for their services. Not the rubbish we see everyday. NO matter how much you pay there will be no improvement because these guys don't have chi-chi. The first increment they did was for improvement so where is the improvement? Power is a long term capital intensive investment which non of the current discos can shoulder.

Ausrichie:

I wanted to report you but then I read your post again. No need for reporting an illiterate man you have killed English itself.

ValCon888:
Now is not the time to be cutting light.
In fact, being a PHCN staff is currently one of the most dangerous jobs in Nigeria today.

kamez:
the last time some over zealous youths in my village did this to EEDC officials, they came back a few days later with a truck filled with policemen. then they disconnected and removed the transformer...


no light in my villa since October last year.. Dem Don write apology letter tire to EEDC to no avail..

Yenefer:
Ok thanks

seborrhic:

It's indeed foolishness and stu pidity of the highest order because IKDC or EKDC will just come back and remove the G&P and the next several months up to even a year,that area will not have light,because of d st upidity of a woman and few guys.
These same people will then have to beg,write letters and be forced to pay for the treatment cost of the beat-up officials in addition to other made up damages.
In addition Ikdc will also insist that at least half of the arrears of all electricity users in that area be paid before reconnection.This will run into several thousands per each compound.
What is a N5000 bill compared to a year without power,if even for 4hrs a day,then at least 10times that 5k to also be paid by these same people that beat the officials?
So long the government,being irresponsible didn't give a directive that disconnection of customers be suspended till this Covid is over,as other sane countries are doing,the electricity companies have a right to go after their money.
S tupid woman.

I pity these guys cos light no go near that area for months... Na today? �

IkpuNnegiEwu44:
The cowardly unfortunate oyibo forming alaye and her girlfriend don't know they are in for a serious trouble. By the time POLICE will come for una, those cheering will disappear. You beat people doing their legitimate duty after owing. You don't know the energy u used is accounted for? Abi u think Gencos, TCN, Disco are father Christmas.

I pity you, when you see charges. Your street will be out for a month first of all.

kikero:


That's a good idea, and there should also be a law that prevents you from collecting your money from me should I owe you 2million naira....



The harsh truth is that even with meters, many Nigerians won't pay. They will bypass the meter well well.(in my previous place of residence, a former neighbour of mine bypassed his meter, and then moved out, leaving the landlord with the penalty bill...which had to be paid before a new tenant could move in.).

alexsoftwork:
It look stage

Jaqenhghar:

Truth is on electricity, no Niggerian is suposed to pay shit for the years of suffering endured. Unfortunately you guys have normalized theft to the extent tjat you see nothing wrong in people demanding value for money

Okoroawusa:

There's no PHCN any more

codedguy1:


NEPA, Disco, Phcn or whatever, my message was clear and what difference is there in differentiating them by name or nomenclature?

kikero:


By your reasoning, no one should pay any businessman anywhere in the world for anything....

The thing is, if we refuse to pay DISCOS their bills, then they won't be able to make improvements, and pay their staff and their suppliers, which means a lot of ordinary Nigerians also suffer as well.

They also won't be able to expand their businesses, which means no new jobs, which means a lot of Nigerians suffer.

They also won't be able to indirectly pay financial instituions, which means losses, which means no jobs too

And since they can't pay for improved power, jobs are not created, meaning more Nigerians suffer.

You see the problem.

I would very much like Nigeria to be a socialst people's republic, but the problem is, at the end of the day, people have to be paid, and if they are not paid, what's the use of political fantasies. Yes, our leaders stole.....but in the meantime, people still need to be paid for their work.

Jaqenhghar:


By your reasoning businessmen are allowed to take people's money without giving them services because they want to expand.
How long will people keep paying them before they get their shít together?
This is not socialism. Its common sense. You go to MacDonald to buy a burger. They collect your money and refuse to give you the burger then ask you to pay again to get your burger ..and keep paying saying they will use the money to prepare your burger. ..... and you shouldnt protest. Does that make sense to you?

Princessogaraya:
wicked people that's how one of their staff (EEDC) bring bill for us while we have prepaid meter I feel like killing that guy that day.....no light but they will bring bill

kikero:


NEPA and PHCN were government run. DISCOS and GENCOS are largely private companines, with transmission still government run (under the Transmission company of Nigeria).
