@ ~bluetooth, never mind!! I'm so used to fed govt panels I actually took u serious

LMAO No comment

cynthiafred67: Here in abuja we are not complaining. Not yet anyway!!

yes we are not. Atleast we have light a minimum of 22hrs a day

We dont even share light in my area but the worst thing is that the area[Bariga, Lagos] across my own area[Iyana Oworo, Lagos] dey always get light like fish wey dey inside water but we... we don't have any choice than to sit, look, buy fuel and also pay NEPA bill. I heard if we start chasing them away and stop paying NEPA bill, they will start giving us light but when the time came to actualize it, people just silent like graveyard... Nijas too like suffer suffer suffering and smiling

It's been worse lately.

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 sett'g up panel all the tym after know'g wat to do to restore power always talk talk talk all the tym without work. They shld talkless n work more.]

Abegi make we hear word. No be you vote retardeen Jona for presido? You con dey complain now. We no tell una say the guy no sabi anytin before election? So you want make we go tell am for you say no be everybody get the money for high priced fuel. Mstcheeeeeew!

My area here in abeokuta, we now go 2 or 3 days a stretch without power supply while sometimes we enjoy from 5 mins - 6 hrs of light when luck shines on us. How I wish inverters n solar systems are affordable by all 'grassroot' nigerians. Funny enough, no one knows the sudden cause of the epileptic power supply. Hmm...

51 yias we are still begging for light

situation at lokoja is also very very very bad.

Information reaching me on this matter is that a committee has been setup to look into this and report back within seven days. I believe its a probe which will likely be swept under the carpet.LOOOLLZZZZZZZZZZZZ

No dey mind dat nnaji wish dry season, him dey summit 4 korea wen we dey 4 darkness here ,we 1st tink say na because of dis road constructn Amosun dey do 4 abeokuta cos am,even ilaro wedey get 20hr+ na total darkness.

I think the transformer in ma area connived wif phcn to shut us out, cos for the past few weeks it blows like once evry two days........... no kidin

Prior the transfomer going boko, the situation was at least less terrible (still bad!!)

my area at ughelli in delta state is terrible.smtime if we manage get lite it is low votage..d worst of all phcn still dere bring lite bill.

In my area we only get 30 minutes of light daily. The power problem has become worse yet we hear the oppposite from government.

Now very bad in Onipanu, Ilupeju. Very bad.

my area, bodija ibadan has been witnessing a sudden transformation from poor to worse, we now look at time to watchout for light….

ti-ebe:

lmao,no mind them,them dey look faze dey answer pesin

You are Right.
I live in FHA (along airport Rd) and work in Asokoroko. Light situation is poor at both ends. (Maybe just a little better in Asokoro)

yup,it has negative Effect,b4 we use to have 10 hours of light daily(in Alaba Suru)but it has grossly dropt to 2-3 hours(though manageable)at all at all na em bad pass

Over here in Jalingo (Taraba state) it's abit better, though the heat is killing us here. Usually, we have light for 22-23hrs everyday. But ever since the repairs at Kianji Dam, power supply dropped to about 12hrs.

dnt wori d federal govt ll set up a comitee 2 luk into d commitee dat is suppose 2 probe d panel ealier set up. Commitee upon commitee, panel upon panel, and they ll b paid o.

Overall, I suspect the water level at the Dams are very low due to the current dry season. As a result, these dams up north are not pumping in much power into the national grid, hence the current load shedding we now experience.

We have not had light for over two weeks at Afromedia, Okokomaiko. The heat is killing.
