Iamdemola:
The thing dey pain me walahi. The light no go dey, bill go plenty and them go still come cut wire go.

But my joy is that I charge my devices at work. And as I sabi press phone wella, I had to get the L9+. I charge at work then enjoy my thing at home. If them like make the carry the wires throw inside ocean.

Its not about charging your phone at work. What about weekends?
Its not everyone that uses the L9+ like you.

Even if you charge your phone at work, will you iron your clothes at work too? You go carry your fridge go work to cool the things inside before coming back home?

Somethings can be annoying.

Besides you didn't even answer my question.

DO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO WITH THE CUSTOMERS WIRE?

Sometimes, things happen and then we tend to overlook or assume they will get better. But then it get worse and worse.

There was a thread on fp last week about NERC granting powers to GENCOS to sell electricity directly to customers

https://www.nairaland.com/3809926/nerc-grants-gencos-right-sell

But from the look of things, it's not any Tom, Dick and Harry that can purchase it anyhow.

Which means we're still going back to the DISCOS for light

Now These DISCOS do some things that baffles me and makes one wonder if this is really right or not.

First they won't give you constant light (well, we'll say it's a Nigerian problem). Next thing is they annoyingly give you crazy bill at the end of the month.

For peace to reign, you decide to pay. Next month they repeat the same thing, and as a gentleman or good citizen you pay again. Now they repeat this every month, coming with crazy bills after giving little or no light.

Then one month you don't pay up early or even pay less than half of the bill, you'll see them coming with their pick up and ladder, then the unthinkable happens. They cut your wire (disconnect your line) and GO WITH THE WIRE

Remember you have always been shortchanged. There's not always light to use to do things in the house. Even if you use a Tecno L9+ with 5000mAh battery, the battery will die after 2-3 days. Let's assume you use a Samsung or iPhone and you compliment the battery with a power bank, the power bank will still run down after some time.

Not just your phones. Are you going to use a power bank for your laptop? Will you use a powrbank for your electric iron? Will you use powrbank for your refrigerator? Will you use a 5000mAh battery for your oven? Will you use a powrbank for your AC?

I can go on and on. You can't continue using generator all the time. Some people spend almost N2000 or more weekly running generator.

Its not as if they can't pay that to the DISCOS. But then who guarantees the light?

I'm saying this because last time Ikeja Electric announced that there would be maintenance from March 6 - April 4. You'll be shocked to know that the bill for month of March was higher than February and April.

In that said period, there was little or no power supply.

When people contested it, next thing was for them to come to disconnect the customers and this time around go with the wire (not minding that the customer bought the wire with his hard earned money) . They did it in April and they have done it in May.

Read below message from NERC to customers


The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), the body empowered to meet the yearnings of Nigerians for stable, adequate and safe electricity supply, has taken the bulll by the horn by releasing to the public, the rights of every electricity consumer.

Read the rights below:

1. All new electricity connections must be done strictly on the basis of metering before connection. That is, no new customer should be connected without meter first being installed.

2. A customer who elects to procure meter under the Credited Advance Payment for Metering Implementation (CAPMI) Scheme must be metered within 60 days, after which the customer will neither be billed nor disconnected by the electricity distribution company.

3. It is the customer’s right to transparent electricity billing. Unmetered customers should be issued with electricity bills strictly based on NERC’s estimated billing methodology.

4. It is the customer’s right to be notified in writing ahead of disconnection of electricity service by the electricity distribution company serving the customer in line with NERC’s guidleines.

5. It is the customer’s right to prompt investigation of complaints arising from the customer’s electricity service disruption

6. It is not the responsibility of electricity customer or community to buy, replace or repair electricity transformers, poles and related equipment used in supply of electricity.

7. It is the customer’s right to contest any electricity bill. Any unmetered customer who is disputing his or her estimated bill has the right not to pay the disputed bill, but pay only the last undisputed bill as the contested bill go through the dispute resolution process of NERC.

If your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed, you can forward your complaint to the NERC Forum Office within the coverage area of your electricity distribution company.

Now my question is, DOES THE DISCOS HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISCONNECT A CUSTOMER'S LINE AND GO WITH THE WIRE?

paolokonqueror:
Nice read, these phones are all very powerful, why's there no L9 Plus tho? I think it should be there or at least Worthy mention. That phone is maddd

This is very true. The rate at which the battery charges back will make you think the battery no good. And after charging, the thing no de die like that o.

Okay.... So it was called eastern Nigeria before they brought up issues of South South and South East just to divide us.


E no go work.

Okay, but you never meet all those bike men that will give small boys money to go and crack the edge of the speed bump at night. Reason is so that they can use that part to speed without being obstructed by the speed bump

Okay

I was just on my own jejely minding my business on Instagram when I saw a post by instablog9ja about a house of assembly member gushing over the Tecno Camon C9.

Its funny, it's interesting and it's also informative. I have no option but to share it with you.

The house of assembly member Maria Ude Nwachi wrote this.

VIDEO: AN ODE TO - TECNO CAMON C9!!

Excellence achieved .....Legacy begins.
Go anywhere, do anything ... C9
Dude, don't worry about it. it's a C9!
To other phones: Follow me.....if you can.
Make others jealous, buy a C9.
C9 dances where other phones cry.
I don't break bank-accounts, I just beautify.
Where others end, I begin, my name is C9.

Yours truly, AFIKPO CHIC!
