No problem, they will get free electricity...at the expense of those who do pay for power.

Meanwhile, they will continue asking why they don't have power 24/7...and it is because of people in the video who don't want to pay anything for power....

No money to improve things.

Oya, where were you when government was holding hearings on privatisation of power in 2013?

You people could have come out enmasse and protested against it. But you all kept quiet.

Now power is privatized, meaning costs go up, and will continue to go up...because discos and gencos need to pay the salaries of their workers, who are ordinary Nigerians like you and me. Government funds them not.

Sorry about that. You should have talked in 2013.

Stop speculating foolishly.

Did I abuse you?

Also, am I in government?

Anyway, have a good day.

Na hot water and aboniki balm

I would not have supported this assualt ... But collecting money for service not rendered is extortion, removing cables and seizing wires dully paid for by the customers is theft

They keep forgetting they are a private company owned by the likes of Atiku, Adeleke and other PDP cronies Jonathan sold us to, they act as if they are still NEPA under Federal Government

Nigeria has a standard billing Kilowatt per hour rating and charges, yet this PDP criminals would not supply needed hours of Electricity yet keep increasing estimated bill




.

This archaic method of light disconnection must stop along estimated billing regime cos it endangers the lives of phcn officials. Distribute prepaid meter so dat u can pay 4 wat u use nt givin us light for 360hrs in a month and den comin wit an estimated bill worth 1440hrs as the monthly bill....

Chances are you don’t live in the country so you have not heard about estimated billing.

Now let me tell you my story; as at December last year, after numerous trips to ikedc office and petitions, my bill went down from 90k to 60k monthly.

I got a prepaid meter installed in May, on the 6th to be precise and I know how much I still paid for for a 3 phase 4 wire meter.

Would you believe that the first 200 units that comes with the meter is what I’m still using till today, 28th June? I think I have about 94 units left.

Now if my calculations are correct, 200 units of electricity will cost about N10,000 +/- when I go to vend the meter.

Please mr protest and mr all knowing. Do the math.

From December to April, I have accrued about N240k in nepa bills save for the 20k,30k I usually pay out of those bills monthly.

I can tell you for a fact that electricity is not expensive. They (distributors) have just decided to be fraudulent because they saw an avenue and good excuse to extort people whom they have refused or slept on giving them prepaid meters.

And you’re here talking about protests. Mtchewww

It's called capitalism

Don't complain to me...the fact is, they are putting more money on your bill from the people who don't pay

People like the ones in the video above.

That is a big part of the reason why I don't have sympathy for them.

40% of Nigerians don't pay for power...putting burden on the 60% who do pay.

If you want to get angry with anyone...get angry with those who don't pay their bills.

Good afternoon

The bold is very false. Electricity is very expensive. That is the reason we don't have regular power and most people are not ready to pay.
I have seen people who complain about estimated billing end up tampering their prepaid meter to
stop reading it is too costly.

These free loaders and serial debtors end up increasing the overall cost for everybody and make investment impossible.

We’re generating just enough to go round. It’s the distribution that’s our problem.

Talk to any top brass (that’s your friend) and they’ll tell you that’s the reason we don’t have regular power.

People tampering with their meters are just greedy people.

If estimated billing isn’t a money making venture for them, they would have distributed meters long ago. And trust me, there are meters rotting away in their stores.

Ask any disconnection official that comes to cut your light and they’ll give you the inside info.

They week after my prepaid meter was installed, two separate teams that used to come and remove my wire without knocking on my door came and saw the meter and they were like no more money for them from my compound again. It pained them.

The bible said it "there shall be no peace for agent of darkness"
Rightousness over to you.

The only way forward:
NEPA must provide Prepaid meter for every customer & then frequently monitor the meters to prevent meter bypass by dubious customers.
They should also enforce severe penalties for people who tamper with meters.
