STOP THIS WAVE OF ELECTRICITY BAND-itry NOW

MuslimIgbo:
These foolish evil and SENSELESS people in power have lost it completely.
How can this senile fool justify the increments in tariffs with how Nigerians use or "waste" power by leaving their air-conditioner on? It's very senseless and funny.
What Stops them from providing prepaid meters for all customers and creating a good system of monitoring team that will ensure that costumers are not bypassing prepaid meters to steal? (THIS IS WHAT 40-6% OF NIGERIANS ARE DOING CURRENTLY )
If you give everyone prepaid meters and monitor the usage frequently, is it not going to be the headache of the customers if they misuse what they've paid for?


Nigerians too are too criminal minded. All most people want to do is to cheat the system then later blame the system for being corrupt.
I know a neighbor that has not paid for light for more than 2 years now. A purposely tampered with his prepaid meter through one of the PHCN staff and he has been using free electricity since then.
I have personally reported him and others on my street directly to PHCN office and online (EKEDC), and these fools have refused to do anything about it.

Lol I believe we shld hv 20hrs first bfr u tackle bypass meters.. Being on Band-A isn't funny o.
If there's no light, watin u wan report bypass for? Let solve one first, which 20hrs light supply

Paramount01:



Band is area not by meter, if the area you are is band A every body in under that meter falling to that band

I know, but na scam.... Is a kilowatt in band A different from a kilowatt in band C.
A kilowatt is a kilowat

Absolutely agree.

They've succeeded in creating a class system in the society, prioritizing some Nigerians over others.

They also fail to realize that not everyone on a Band A feeder needs or can afford 24 hours of electricity. There are also people on lower Bands who both need and can pay for 24 hours but are now discriminated upon.

There are also force majeure events that can hamper the 20 hour supply, such wind and thunderstorms, vandalism, terrorist acts, and pure theft by unscrupulous Nigerians (of which they are legion)

This is a harebrained scheme that's as unsustainable as it's dubious.

This minister smells like a scoundrel

The banding makes absolutely no sense cos those on Band A are not more Nigerian than others. We should be asking why an economist is our power minister. Renewed Hope indeed

A kilowatt is a kilowat

The charges is diffrent, people in bank A wil be #220 per kilowat while other band Will pay 66 per kilowat

Are everybody will to pay for the light?

I hope the population on band A in Oyo State can secure you the governorship position in 2027.
The masses plunged into darkness will respond at the polling units

This one think sey him dey talk to mugu

Tonytonex:
They better oh. Cause, I'm on band A,
And I'm not getting power up to hr

The minister is saying there is no reason why they should not supply constantly. I think he has something to offer

Haaland21:

Why are people from a particular region so disrespectful and uncouth in their approach to issues?

U call someone as old as your father a foolish evil....this shows that u must have been calling your parents worst thing.

You can pass your message in a civilized way.

Don't be a headless mob. At least prove soludo wrong.

You be holo riburuku
Who's your father mumu?
You know everyone on the Internet and their age? Everyone is your mate on the Internet?
You're very very senseless

Putting the cart before the horse as usual.

Clowns

U just confirmed what I wrote

Shame on you. You represent your parent well.

yes. A lot of money has been spent on it.
And power generation has increased and added to the national grid.
So they don't have any reason.

You nailed it directly but let's learn to always criticize without calling people senile or fool. Imagine someone cheating the system for more than two years and same person will be blaming the govt for every rots in the system. The govt needs to strengthen the institutions and put in place effective laws to punish people to serve as deterrent to others.

phemmie06:
All of you na scam.....
I was questioning an ie staff some years ago that why should a commercial enterprise be billed differently, is their kw different from others?
Same thing is applicable to the variance in band, why should they pay more for steady supply, will telecommunication network provider bill me more cos their network is stable in my area?

May be we need somebody like the Minister of Interior to manage the ministry of power but won't the mess the guy cleansed in immigration be returned if the guy is redeployed to power ministry?

Which is heavier a kilo of feather or a kilo of stone?
A kilogram is a kilogram so their weight is the same.

What's the difference between a kilowatt in band A and a kilowatt in band Z?

Irrespective of where you're buying your cement, a bag is 50kg there's no different measurements irrespective of places

kelvindj98:
So you approved the hike with out even confirming if the discos are meeting their electricity distribution obligation. Tinubu needs to remove this power minister. He has to be one of his worst appointees.

Discos will get sanctioned and fined. The government will take the fine leaving the end users directly affected with zero compensation. What a country.
