I tried recharging my prepaid Meter all through yesterday June 30th, all failed; maybe the traffic of panic buying of the old rate being the last day was responsible for the glitch. Woke up very early this morning to recharge and boom it went just at the 1st trial, chai!!!

I recharged 20k and I got 267 units in return. I was shocked. Usually 1500 is for the 7.5%(VAT). I quickly did the maths 18500 divided by 267.(something). So my tariff now is around 69 Naira per KWH. Mehn, cold gripped me, before now when u buy 20k, u are good for a month due to epileptic power supply. Ironically we have been having 24hours power supply, only God knows if this will last up to 3 weeks sef.

Everything is increasing except for salaries that are on stunted growth. From Fuel, that has impacted directing on food cost and transportation. While this Electric tariff increment will have a larger impact on almost everything. But we all know that the Masses will bear the brunt if it all.

Which way o? How do a common Man survive with all these skyrocketing Bills?

my last 10k recharge was for 267units, now it's barely 100units.

crossfm:
Hehehe.

The only logical thing to do is to cut cost,cut cost and cut cost.

Freezer's and light can't be on unnecessary. Once things are frozen just off the freezer. Look for energy saving bulbs.
If you have car now plan your movement,no more using car to go and barb your hair .

I was one of those who was against the unplanned removal of subsidy. I support the removal,but is of the view that measures on how to tackle the effect of the removal, should be in motion first.

We might have backed different people during the election,but the reality on ground now is that we are now in this together.

The ones laughing the policies of the government,the ones supporting and even the neutral one,we are all in this together.

My wish is that all the sacrifices Nigerians are making now should never be for nothing.

Go on and go on, but if you are given USA visa with Resident Permit, please and please reject iand give it to me.

taylor89:
APC supporters are very lucky

They can’t even relate to this suffer and hardship

Just borrow a Ronu tag from your neighbor and everything else will be cheaper

seborrhic:
What are u using that u are using 20k worth of units per month?That is even the tariff rise.
Anyone on prepaid should be grateful because even with the tariff increase,you can easily regulate your energy use.
Those on estimated billing are the ones that should be crying.

Compliant:
Just look for money and go solar to have peace of mind. This I did December last year and I am grateful I took that step.

Presently using 3.5Kva inverter.

Now there is no need putting off light self, freezer is on, tv is on, fans are on. What else do I need?

I want to upgrade to 5Kva

Yewandequeen:

How is that possible? The meters are not online now, so how can such be controlled other than decrease in obtainable unit value.

pocohantas:
If you are on prepaid, you are lucky.
At least you can manage your energy usage and only pay for what you use.

As for how we would survive.
Nigerians are very good at adapting to suffer.
To the extent that they even question enjoyment. If you are nice to them, they will think you want to use them for rituals. They are that used to suffer and wickedness.

The keyword here is SURVIVE.
We would SURVIVE.

jmoore:

They were paying 70k because they chose to waste energy.

smasher1:


They don't. It's people with estimated billing that on all lights and other equipment and waste energy. People with prepaid don't waste energy.

jmoore:


Anyone can waste energy, whether prepaid, postpaid or estimated billing.

The only difference is that those on estimated billing do not pay for the wasted energy.

A residential apartment that is spending 70k monthly must be wasting energy. What appliances will consume that high amount?

ChybuzzDD:


Don't quote any stupid PBAT here.
How much of the "necessary" sufferings is he, his family and friends undoing now?
Rubbish!
