FamilyRe: My Experience - The Scourge Of PHCN Estimated Billing by darthv: 3:01pm On Jun 20, 2018
Teetopz:
A thread on why PREPAID METER being distributed TO ALL may never be achieved in Nigeria.
After the Nigerian Police, Nigerian Electricity distribution companies are next on the list when it comes to corruption. This has been in existence from time immemorial, just like barracks, many government have come and gone but the deep rooted corruption in the system remains
In April 2016, I moved in to my current apartment. The apartment was still connected to an old meter and there was an outstanding payment of about N385,000.00 to be paid.

This wasn't revealed to me before I made payment for the rent, as usual (that's how they all do)
This became a worry and an absolute headache.

I asked the landlord why it was so and she made me understand that the apartment was not in use for 5years.

I asked how come it wasn't reported to NEPA so they'd stop the billing, she gave me a copy of the letter she wrote to them
So I took the matter up, wrote several mails to Eko electricity company and the matter was on for 11months, note that in the space of this 11 months, I never got a monthly bill lesser than 24,000.00

You want to ask if I have a factory in my apartment? No I don't.
So it extended from wanting the company to zerorize the ridiculous outstanding balance in the billing account to fighting and contesting the outrageous billing system which do not in any way represent my true electricity consumption and wanting a Prepaid Meter

The battle began.
After several exchange of mails betweens myself and Eko Electric and no solution was forthcoming, I moved the matter to NERC, the regulatory body for all electricity distribution companies in Nigeria.

I filed a petition against Ekedp and the undertaking in charge of my area.
Lo and behold, after three days from the petition submission to NERC, I got a call from the marketing manager for my area pleading for me to make myself available to allow them come to my house and take inventory of the electrical appliances I use.

NERC is working yeah? Right.
A staff of the Ekedp came to take the inventory and at the end of the computations, we calculated and multiplied each appliance by the estimated units they consume per day and multiplied by 31days.

Recall I said I never got a bill less than 24k in a month?
Then we arrived at a figure that even the Eko electric staff who came to take the inventory opened his mouth and couldn't close it.

What I should be billed based on having 24hour light per day(which is not even possible) in 31 days was 4,800.00

I almost ran mad.
I took a copy of the report, scanned it and attached it to my next petition to NERC.

At this point, the marketing manager attached to my undertaking had started calling and begging me to stop the petitions.

That they could all get sacked if matters gets escalated further.
Then in September 2017, after all the troubles and how I never got tired if pursuing the issue, I got a mail from Eko electricity to come with some required documents in order to fill a form for a PREPAID METER.

I went there and did as they requested

At Last.
On 27 November 2017, I was on leave.
I was at my gate then this Alfa looking guy was parading and trying to see house number on the fence. My instinct told me to ask if he was asking for Ayo, then he said yes

He was the prepaid meter installer, he was with my new prepaid meter
I also recall that before the whole issue started, I was discouraged severally that I can never be given prepaid meter due to the outstanding balance on the billing account, I paid no mind to all the people that said that and went ahead with my case.
I got the Prepaid meter for FREE. After a week, bill was brought and boom, outstanding balance has been cleared from 385,000.00 to zero balance.

How did I achieve this?
I mean I didn't pay a dime to anyone and I never for once bribed my way in all my dealings.
I achieved this simply because;

1. I knew my right.
2. I wouldn't settle for mediocrity
3. I never stopped pushing even after several months and it seemed unachievable
4. I was ready to take the matter up anywhere
5. I was informed.
Now imagine how many people are out there who don't even know how to go about such tedious and draining process.

I learnt that a lot of people even paid as much as 40k to get the prepaid meter. Something that's supposed to be free.
Since the prepaid meter was installed in November 27 2017, I have not exhausted the 303 units that came with it which is calculated to be 7,200.00

And I still have 140units left to use.

That's over four (4) months now
Do you now see why these people will never allow dream of every homes having a prepaid meter become a reality?

Because such development will block all holes where the electricity distribution corrupt members of staff perpetrate their fraudulent activities and corruption from.
They know that they will be forced to give light more in order to generate revenue and will not be able to charge people outrageously as they are currently doing and remitting the proceeds of their criminal act to their pockets.

Stand up and Fight for what is your right.
Prepaid meter is your right, fight for it to the latter.

If you believe that your monthly electricity bill do not represent your consumption, make a case.

If you're in Lagos, Ikeja Electricity company and Eko electricity company are there for you.

If they fail, involve NERC.
That will be all, for now.
Due to popular demand, these are the email addresses you can forward your complaints to -
Ikeja Electricity Distribution - customercare@ikejaelectric.com
Eko Electricity Distribution - customercare@ekedp.com
Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission - complaints@nerc.gov.ng
please how do you guys write all these long stuffs

BusinessFast Moving Business Ideas In Nigeria by darthv(op): 12:45pm On Mar 08, 2018
Are you an entrepreneur or investor looking for where to invest your money to get good returns? do you want to know where to find fast growing business ideas in Nigeria.



Initially Nigerians weren’t serious about tapping into business opportunities and left all businesses to foreigners.

Even Nigerians abroad who has stayed over 10 years and made a lot of money are scared of coming too invest in Nigeria, rather than taking the currency advantage between the naira and dollar, euro or pounds they rather stay abroad because they fear the uncertainty of doing business in Nigeria.

Thankfully Nigerians have woken up,many people are coming up with intelligent business ideas and setting up lucrative business.This is not unconnected to the fact that the federal government have in recent years encouraged and rigorously supported the establishment of small and medium sized businesses as a strategy for stimulating Nigeria’s economic growth.

So the question remains, what are some small sized businesses I can do in Nigeria in 2018?

1. Agriculture



Agriculture remains one business that can never die out. Agriculture here entails crop farming and animal husbandry.Investing in agriculture is a smart one, because some items such as poultry, fish and groundnut oil and are regarded as contra-band, this however gives room for investors to make huge amount of money due to limited competition from foreign countries some the items you can produce for sale include rice, Frozen poultry, fish, live stocks e.t.c .



2 .Web design or development



If you have passion for tech and can stay on your PC,web designing is just for you.
If you don’t want to crack your brain into learning programming languages such as php javascript, ruby E.t.c you can simply opt in using content management systems to deliver clients jobs.But if you want to take your skills to the next level you should consider learning programming languages such as php.
In this era where businesses are being taken to the internet web designers remain indispensable.

3.Laundry Services


This is one of the fastest growing business in Africa especially Nigeria.A lot of people have done really well in the laundry business.There are lots of people who are overwhelmed by work loads and do not have time to wash their clothes, your service to them would be very essential. A clear example of a successful laundry business is prime wash.

4 .Phone repairs



Nigerians are exceptionally good in changing smartphones,there is an unending market for smartphone repair, in a country where you hardly see an adult without a mobile phone. This indicates that this is a huge market in which you need to delve into.

READ Challenges Facing Start-up Businesses and Entrepreneurs in Nigeria
5 .Transportation



In a country of over 160 million people you, where lots of individuals are looking for greener pastures, people tend to move from one location to the other in order to make ends means.
You can actually be a problem solver if you start a mini transportation business ,you can start this transportation business within a state or inter-state service
To demonstrate the good mind that exist in the transportation business,where I live in port Harcourt an average capital accumulated by the by the conventional Keke-napep witin the range of 10-15 thousand Naira( Fuel inclusive and others).



6 .Restaurant business


In Nigeria restaurant business has continued to flourish. This sector can never go out of fashion because “man must chop”.
You could set up a good restaurant in the densely populated area, where there are few restaurants or close to a company that has large workers base.

7. Export business


Exportation business is an industry that contribute 23% of the country’s gdp.

Wouldn’t you want to tap into this Goldmine and make mad profit.

Firstly you will need to :

Register a business name.
Find the products to export.
Determine the price of your product.
Source for foreign buyers of your product.
Find suppliers of your products.
Get logistics.


7. Internet Service Provider



Starting an internet service provider business is not an easy task but if planed well and having accessibility to the right resources- it is neither impossible.The biggest challenge of becoming an ISP is the huge amount of initial capital required for licensing, procurement of equipment and infrastructure.

The demand for fast internet with 24/7 up-time in Nigeria would move any smart minded entrepreneur to venture into this sector. A very good internet service provider in Nigeria is the smile network, which is extremely fast and considerably affordable

8. Salon



There is one thing that is certain in life ,everyone wants to look good especially the ladies.Ladies can go extra mile just to look attractive in the eyes of men and even compete with fellow women to make them envious .

The hair is just one of the major part of the body that can bring out one’s beauty,women in particular are very passionate about their hair.When you list out businesses that brings out instant revenue hair-dressing would be among the list.

9.Photo Studio

Would you inception of digital photography. Photography business in nigeria has become a lucrative one the photography business is extremely demanding in terms of work hours but extremely rewarding also so if you have a passion of taking photos is a perfect industry for you

With the inception of digital photography, Photography business in Nigeria has become a lucrative one.The photography industry is extremely demanding in terms of work hours but extremely rewarding also. So if you have a passion of taking photos, This is a perfect industry for you.
