Brendaniel:

Oga did I mention Naira, it is not deducting his units as others are deducting per kwh
Ok, I had to read your first post to get you.
The first prepaid that came uses smartcard. And it is not included in this recent update.

Secondly, what is loaded in the smartcard is kwh. You go to nepa office and pay any amount you like and the kwh is loaded to the smartcard. The metre only deducts the power you consume, unless the metre is faulty.


For the current update, those who fail to update can't load any units after the deadline. Which means blackout.

So,NERC just wake up after many years because the New Minister seems to be No Nonsense Man!
Both the NERC and DISCOS are Fraudulent Entity imposed on Nigeria and until they are dismantled,we can have No Industilisation and 24/7 Lights in Nigeria!

Attention Power Minister: Mr ADEDIBU,etc.
- if you want to make a lasting Change in Nigeria Power Structures,you need to take this Discos by surprises, otherwise,in next 4- yrs, you wouldn't be able to tell Nigerians-what you have done!
- Let Govt buy the DISCOS back- as they did to BP Oil then in the 80s.The reasons why the real Experts( General Electric,Enron Power) were Chased away from Nigeria and,when the Local Contractors were preferred- and since then- nothing New has been achieved ,for the past 11- yrs.
So sad for our Youths Unemployments in this very Important Areas!
1- Most of the Nigerian Cities/Areas have :
Not witnessed any NEW Transformers,so they remained in total darkness.
2- No adequate Prepaid Metres,as most are given to Selected few People ( highest bidders)!
*Since we don't Produce both Transformers and Prepaid,so why is it difficult to distribute to the Masses! We are very wicked to ourselves!
3- Lights are never Regular - what the Discos and their accolite do is - Short- Changing different Areas for Day and Night but claimed heavy Money on Monthly basis( eyi je,eyi ko je) while their Ogas', enjoy full lights in their Areas for 24/ Hours!
4-In some Areas in some States- e g Event Places,etc,Light for Nigerians are diverted for that period of the Day! Is that fair to Nigerians?
5.Is that not Criminal Acts? Why can't we enjoyed full light for 24/7 for something we Imports their Parts!
6.The present DISCOS have no Agenda to give NIGERIA Lights but Darkness- with Estimated Billing!
-Why are NEPA Operations,in different Areas- where their Ogas' have Houses,if not for Corruption- so NIGERIANS can't determined their level of Discos -Operations? It is an intensional acts!
Let Nigerians know the Following:
7• Without Industilisation in Key Sectors of our Economic Life-
•eg -Iron and Steel Sector,
-Agriculture Sector,
-Industrial Growth/ Manufacturing Sector.
-Science and Technology,etc,
•ALL These Sectors need 24/7 Lights to Produce and Transform their Products for 220- Millions Nigerians!
•Even Productions of Phones, utensils,etc- you need Constant Light,For a dynamic and Creative Economy- lights must be on365- Days, unless,we are deceiving ourselves!
- Ghanaians--have been enjoying 24/7 Lights for Decades or why do you think Dunlop and other Companies ran there for their business?
- Egyptians are moving gradually their Industrial Growth Sector as,more lights are available!
- Why did Elon Musk ran to China-not because of Cheap Labour alone,but Lights are 365- Days Constant and Cheap?
- Why do we call Las-Vegas( USA)-the City of Lights because light never go but constant.
•India Are Now in the Moon- thereby breaking into the Members of Elite Space Exploration( USA China, Russia and now India),so if you don't have lights,no show!
-Congratulations to India 1.4 Billion People- for Successfully Launch of Space Exploration into the Moon and welcome to the Elite Space Group of ( USA,China, Russia and now India).A great feat indeed!

To President Tinubu:
•It seems some People don't want Nigeria to develop into the Industrial Giant- over to you Minister of Power and all your crew.
We all remember how some National Assembly Committee Members engulfed in the Corruption of this Power Sector about 11- years ago!
Today,this Power Sector is still very, very Corrupt!
Let NIGERIANS Breath!

I don't know about those details.
But I have used key change previously. I was on EEDC before. After they settled the dispute they had with geometric in Aba, Aba power under geometric took over some LGA and we had to do key change before we could load units under Aba power.

How efficient is Geometric?

[quote author=gaby post=125309783]So, the meters can not be auto-updated remotely from the manufacturers end?

No sector of the economy is making sense aside from the corruption sector.[/quo
That would have been d case but unfortunately some of these meters are not configured as such during production. But i think Smart meters will be good to go in the area of auto update remotely.

It was better from late last year till early this year when Transmission Company of Nigeria reduced the power allocated to them because of debt. Power supply has reduced currently.

There are plans by geometric to start generating their own power before the end of the year.

Very soon supporters will come online to claim this update is to international standard. That our prepaid meters update is too low compared to how it's done in the US and other developed countries. APC and FG scam alert

It is a worldwide update. Not peculiar to Nigeria.
It only requires a keychange that is inputed via the CIU by the customer.

Then this key should be send to customer registered number as SMS. Why do we like to over complicate simple things?
