That's not the best way

Sonnobax15:

Nigerian soldiers and police men are very oppressive in nature.....They misuse power and treat civilians as tho they have got no lives to live..very pathetic

E be like say u be NEPA staff
Get ready to chop ur own be*ting cos una deserve aam. So many zuzu from those NEPA officials. Mtcheeww

How on earth will a right thinking NEPA man go to disconnect Soldiers light??

This matter tire me. Everybody get im own weakness abeg.

Here is how it works, why we do not have power

1.Government controlls the price of power, and sets it below the cost of producing said power.

2.From 2015-17 , prices of power were frozen

3.Nigerians ...nearly 40% of us do not pay for the power we use. Yes, including the barracks.

4.And under these circumstances, you expect them to perform?

We have a working GSM sector, because the government lets them charge as much money as they want. And they make enough profit as a result to improve their serivices year in year out.

Noted but how do you explain not have transformer which leads to darkness and we paid for it for the whole 8 months.

If money is the root of all evil you can see me ball but you’ll never see me fall cuz I gat the...

So, you won't deny service to people who come and take your goods for free, if you were in business?

Okay.

Look at these animals in uniform beating a citizen for disconnecting their light. I have said it many a times that most Nigerians don't have the capacity to pay for 12 hours continuous electricity lest mentioning 24hours light. Army barracks were used to free light in the days of NEPA/PHCN through intimidation and oppression and that stupid mentality still runs in their blood till date. One of the mushroom soldier barracks close to me here collected over 2 million naira from lockups stores in their domain & never remitted #1 to the DISCO. Till today, it still a mystery to me how some Nigerians easily pay their electricity bill to DISCO staff instead of walking to approved outlets to pay their bills. At the end of it all, only to find out no money reflected in their account all these years.

Another set of criminals in Nigeria are those that bypass electricity. You will think it is smartness heck no it is fraud. Your neighbours or fellow citizens will surely pay for your fraud through estimated billing. God forbid it is certainly not me. Some Nigerians on this forum do celebrate how they pay little above 3 to 5k electricity bill having consume like 80 to 100k. You are not better than an internet fraudsters and a looting politician.

No profit...difficulty in fixing things. Transformers included.

Again, if you are in business, you have to have the right to fix your prices. If you do not, ye cannat make a profit enough to keep things running.

There is a reason why GSM works in Nigeria. Government lets them charge freely. As a result, they had the money to build the supporting infrastructure for our phone and much of our internet service. Government did not spend a dime. Plus, you cannot bypass a phone...like you do for power. To use a phone, you have to pay. Cheat codes have long since been cut off.

If I’m the electrical company, I swear even after 100 years that army no go still get light.

This is Nigeria my dear. They are one family

This uncivilized disposition is condemnable and the soldiers involved should be punished.

Nepa deserve anything they see

Wow

This stick made the news , the ordinary stick is now a celebrity stick , I’m sure the stick never envisaged it

Na family matters

Supported

youngsahito:
No sign of remorse from me. Nepa won't give u light but they bring high bill to customers. Ekedc and Ikeja Electric should be the next.
Let them feel the pain for paying without get the service being paid for....

You get your bills AFTER consuming electricity, not before. If you think you're unfairly billed there are channels to complain.

You sound like the sort who won't pay, and who often attack the utility employees when they come asking for payment. You probably would bypass or tamper with a meter too, judging by your tone.

wawa republic were military is not professional and mingle their nose in things wey no concern them. DSS and CBN dey fight, Police and Police Service Commission dey sue each other. Make every village create his own country make everyone rest

40%
Where you get your statistic

A newspaper report I saw in the Sunday Trust even gave some higher figures some 4-5 years ago.

The above link is extant for 2018. It may even be an underestimate.

Then there is the fact that DISCOS are not allowed to charge cost reflective tarrifs.

(I don't work for the DISCOS, I just decided to do some reading up from 2013, trying to udnerstand why government wanted to privatise power, and this is the result. That plus simple economics. Businesses work when they can make a profit)>

Dem no get light o, the worst they can do is to attack again but this time there will be hidden cctv to record their nefarious acts.

Abuse of power

Fashola told us that no reasonable govt will stay for 6months without providing constant power supply.
Now he's a serving minister, 8yrs later, Nigerians are now headquarters of darkness and poverty.

I have nothing to say about this.

Both Nepa and those soldiers are going to face their judgement

When they see boko haram now then go humble like small boys ... this is why I dont pity them

Whoever is not satisfied with the soldiers should go to court.

Okiton:


I no fit yarn on this issue
Both Nigerian army and NEPA people are Bird of a feather, both are evil

with time na so all of us would be beating the useless nepas

See that guy with him thin waist
Na this kind guys dey climb ladder cut people light
Nigeria army do well for this one
