people, i know Nepa/PHCN has never been perfect. But in my area, and in warri, it has become even worse than ever. My folks in benin have the same complaints. And the heat is killing!
Please can u let me know if its the same where you are? Also, if you could go a step further by saying why if u knw. Some people think its because d dams r dry frm the dry season. Another theory is turbine maintenance
p.s, Moderator, if this is not the appropriate section, pls relocate my topic. Thanks

Yea, Ilorin is! Its like 24hour blackout in this place now and the heat, men its HELL.Na like this we go continue?

the heat is what is making the black out so noticeable! Because of fear of thieves, i can't open windows or doors as i'd want.
Phcn ooooo!

Used to be power for ~23hrs daily, now it's the exact opposite. I've dumped PHCN, already.

most people are in darkeness

Shout "fresh air" ten time followed by twenty halleluyahs. Your electricity will miraculously come on.

Fresh airrrrrrr

ArQueBusieR: Used to be power for ~23hrs daily, now it's the exact opposite. I've dumped PHCN, already.

Abeg,dumped them for what? Pls what alternative r u using?
So is It safe to say the whole of Nigeria is suffering worse power? Any chance It Will improve when the rains come?

It is really bad here in my side of Lagos (Close to Airport Rd). There is electricity at the moment though but once it is cut, we don't have any either of when it will be restored.

For the past 3 weeks now... To say PHCN is worst is an understatement
Poor service

18 hours of light everyday!!

The 300 liters of Diesel that normally lasts me 1 week now lasted a month (And im sure it finished quick because My guards take their jolly time to switch from Gen to PHCN). . Only just bought diesel yesterday


FRESH AIR BITC'HES!!

Kano na hell on earth..no light for the past 3weeks,not even a flash

Here in abuja we are not complaining. Not yet anyway!!

Mehn, it has become worse ere in amuwo odofin, I tire oooo

My area (Ogijo) is d most terrible area when it comes to issue of PHCN, b4 they do have power but now, am regretting staying der. God deliver us from darkness.

Joeblis: Kano na hell on earth..no light for the past 3weeks,not even a flash

3 weeks?which part of kano are you? i beg is not correct!

Up Nigeria!

Cynthiafred67: Here in abuja we are not complaining. Not yet anyway!!


Cynthiafred67, Pls which part of abuja are you that you aren't complaining about PHCN? I live FHA,along Airport Rd and work in Asokoro, the situation is same... Poor! It was better late last year and early this year. Its very poor now. Infact, we dont expect to see late at night.

The federal government is on top of the situation.Meanwhile ,a panel has been set up to critically analyse the issue and come up with possible recommendations which would be implemented asap.
Fresh air !

why do we have to wait for rain in order to enjoy light, poor government.

ti-ebe:

Abeg,dumped them for what? Pls what alternative r u using?

lol. . .The popular alternative: Generators.
Mann, me I no sabi for PHCN.

ArQueBusieR: Used to be power for ~23hrs daily, now it's the exact opposite. I've dumped PHCN, already.

Dumped PHCN for who? NEPA? ....Anyway, for me, I've already settle for Generator both home & office.

My light has not blink for 7 weeks in a row inspite the facts that there are no issues with our transformer. To crown it all i was told that Nepa official came down to cut the line of people that have not paid for services not rendered. I wish i was around when they came, the people arround did not allow them though. Something just has to be done. Even my son knew how to call Nepa b4 mummy and Daddy. Na wa o !!!

Gbawe: Shout "fresh air" ten time followed by twenty halleluyahs. Your electricity will miraculously come on.

LMAO

For the past two weeks no light in Igbo-efon in Lekki. Because of the heat and my son that is at home, i had to keep running the gen stiching with the inverter. I have spent 15k on fuel so far and counting not to mention the flogging the gen is going through right now.

God please save us from the heat.

In my area in Lagos we had light for almost 20 hrs a day, but the past couple of weeks, its been really bad. Add the higher than normal temperature and the suffering increases hundredfold.

@~bluetooth, can u shed some more light (no pun intended) on the situation? What is the problem that govt r working on?
