The time-table for electricity in my area for many years now is÷ 4pm-7pm and 5am-8am. This is a total of 6hours a day. Anytime rain falls or there is strong wind, don't expect electricity that day. Until this time-table changes for good, any improvement they announce in any news medium is just drama and fake news

You can't shame the shameless, in Bobrisky voice



.

Make we hide ourselves abeg,

Ordinary Ghana same population size of Lagos State alone is 4000 mw

Hope the bill too has timetable?

What kind of news is this? What are we supposed to do? Start breakdancing?Are you guys not ashamed of yourselves? Have some shame! Why would any sane Nigerian advertise this sort of nonsense as an achievement? Kusile power plant in South Africa generates almost this number you mentioned here! Just one single power plant generating almost the same amount of power with the whole Nigeria! South Africa generates over 40,000 MW of power from coal alone! The same coal that is sprouting from the ground all over Enugu state! Una shame just dey catch me...

the bill is very high because the Bedc deliberately refused to distribute metres in Edo state. What we do in my place is to ignore what is on the bill and pay what we feel is enough and make sure we openly display the receipt of payment.

strategy to justify the recent increase in electric bill......

We only have light now from 10pm to 4am and breaks in-between.
Unfortunately, we're grouped in band c

Where the light na?

Why is this government so evil?

No wonder we had no light

Where I just moved to, light is 24hrs per day save for rare interruptions of about 1hour once in 3days.

This is due to the power line that was constructed few years back in the area.

A plot 4 years ago before the power line was 600k, now it's about 1.5m.

Plots still available.
Dm for purchase.
