My Ugly Experience Buying Electricity Credit Today by abouzaid: 8:28pm On Sep 07, 2020
Men, the more i don't want to talk Nigeria, the more issues pushes me into doing so. I bought Nepa credit today for my prepaid meter at a rate of #55 per kilowatthour. I noticed that the units was exactly half of what i use to get for the same amount of money, in other words, our electricity tariff was increased by about 100%, i then went online to check how much kilowatthours of electricity an average family consumes in a month, it's 914 kilowatthours, when i multiplied 914 by 55, i got #55,270. In other words, it would cost an average family #55, 270 a month to get electricity 24/7. If the family only gets electricity for 6hours a day, then their electricity bill would be # 12,567.5 per month. I'm speechless.

Very corrupt inhumane system run by a useless tyrant. It costs less in some cities in the US and Canada to run 24/7 electricity with A/C and everything running 24/7.

Technology is cheap. We don’t produce it, all we have to do is buy and adopt, that’s still difficult for us, we must first steal money from it to secure our 6th generation before we make it available to the public who pay our salaries with their taxes

Oil Marketers Deny NNPC On N5.35bn Petrol Subsidy Payment
Okechukwu Nnodim, Abuja Oil marketers on Monday expressed surprise over the resurfacing of petrol subsidy in June 2020 as disclosed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation in its latest operations report. According to marketers of petrol, the government had since March this year declared that the downstream oil sector had been deregulated and as such there was no need for petrol subsidy. The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria and the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria told our correspondent in Abuja that they had not received any subsidy payments from government. The PUNCH reported on Monday that NNPC made an under-recovery of N5.35bn in June. Under-recovery is the losses incurred by the oil firm due to the difference between the subsidised price at which the corporation sells petrol and the price which it should have received to meet its production cost. The Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs, Division, NNPC, Kennie Obateru, had explained that the return of under-recovery in June was due to the payment for stock held by marketers at the onset of the removal of subsidy by the Federal Government. “Since the subsidy removal started with reduction in pump price, marketers have been paid the differential of the PPPRA verified stock they held and it is spread over a period of six months,” he said. But the National Public Relations Officer, IPMAN, Ukadike Chinedu, said it was surprising to hear of subsidy payments when the downstream sector had been deregulated. He said, “They didn’t pay us any subsidy money. You are also aware that the market has been deregulated. We are now dispensing products based on international crude oil market price. “Furthermore, you are aware of the price regime and this regime is regulated by the price of crude oil in the international market. So, where is the subsidy coming from?” Chinedu added, “You are also aware that in the months of February, March, April, May and June, the PPPRA released guiding prices for petrol based on price deregulation. So as at what point did the subsidy come in? On whether marketers got any support when the pump price of petrol crashed from over N140 per litre to about N125 per litre some months ago, the IPMAN official said nothing of such happened. Chinedu said, “There is no differential that was paid to us because when they reduced the cost of the product from N145 to N123, they did not pay any differential to anybody. https://punchng.com/oil-marketers- deny-nnpc-on-n5-35bn-petrol- subsidy-payment/

That’s about the same thing people pay abroad, but the cost of living is not the same. One month rent abroad can pay one whole year rent in Nigeria and one or two months salary abroad could be a whole year salary for people in Nigeria, so why should people pay the same as their counterparts abroad?

Nobody pays that in abroad. Make some research about it and get back to us.. It's impossible for someone to pay that. , here in South Korea.. We have all that at home yet we pays about $50 .. Then check the minimum wage of this country and Nigeria own.. 9ja com finally cast..

I moved from N21 to N52. In my entire life, i have never seen such instant increment in the price of any product or service.

The fuel price increase is child's play compared to the power issue. If there should be a lockdown, it should be based on this power tariff increment.

The most ridiculous thing about the whole issue is the bullshit they keep saying that areas that experience few hours of power will not have their tariffs altered.

It is a lie, and it is a ridiculous statement. Even if that is what is on paper, it will never be implemented in reality and the government knows that.
