stagger:
The consumption of units is dependent on your appliances. So if a Band A person that travels a lot for business uses less electricity, does it mean he bypassed his meter?
You will still be charged high for a unit irrespective of how many units you consume. How many people travels a lot like uou insinuated.

When AEDC officials come to check your unit consumption per month, they will know if you are by-passing or not. They have a special unit that handles that.
The problem with people with prepaid especially the big men is bypassing. And it's their officials that do that for people.
Just forget it. Nigeria is irredeemable

Baba no body on band B downwards will get a 19hours 30 minutes of light in this country again going by your analysis. You think those people don't know what they are doing?

All the power supply will be channeled to the band A areas. Those in band B that usually get a let's say 15 hours of light daily will be getting like 8 or 10 hours or even less now because they pay the same thing as those in band E and cannot even complain because they are not paying the premium

The people in band A will get the light and also pay premium for it which better
I have been on band A. My area has been on band A. It gets on average of 22hours electricity everyday.

maasoap:
If band A have prepaid meters, why charging them using higher tariff? The more a customer use power, the more he recharges
Prepaid metres do not stop you from paying very high tariff. It means as others can use 5k for example in a month, you will spend more than 10k. Add it to the fact that you have constant electricity, you will end up spending up to 15k in a month.
I have a house in a band A residential area and as at that time, depending on your house( cos they bill you according to your kind of house), I spend quite a lot on units.
And anytime the officials come to check your meter and it does not resonate with your type of house eg, you are spending less, they will know automatically you are by-passing and will send their expert to trace your connections.
It is quite common.

AEDC had previously apologised for wrongly putting people in Band A and charging them a higher tariff.
Apology my foot.
In my hood in Abuja. We were on band A and all efforts by landlords association to change it were like water on a rock. Their reason was that we consume the highest power output in Abuja. Na we buy transformer, infact, split it, all repairs, we even pay them to come and do maintainance.
The only consolation was that like 98% of the houses have prepaid meters.

Bobrisky is being glamoralized and turned into a star, he influences millions of kids, his case is different...he should be stopped. kids imbibe behaviors they see that is acceptable, it is a dangerous trend accepting this boy's loose careless behavior.

Nigerians should not allow a hungry boy destroy our moral structure and fiber...this boy is doing this for money, he doesn't understand the depth of his actions...he is just a hungry hustler, Nigeria is bigger than him.
Do Nigeria have moral structure?
Country that is the most corrupt in the world.
Abegi make we hear.
Don't train your child.
Training a child is from cradle to the beginning of adolescent.
Or you are the type that allow kids to flood the Internet viewing adult contents.

I have kids.
I live outside Nigeria.
My kids use of Internet is regulated.
Their school also regulate what they can have access to and their behaviour.
If my kid is spoilt, that is on me.

This clueless man wants to turn all our kids to cross dressers and gays, because he is looking for money.
Cross dressing has been on since time immemorial. We don't even know which one is which anymore.
If it's only being cross dresser, there is nothing wrong about it at all.

Egushi soup is not Igbo soup...

I think South South owns White Soup Ofe Nsala


Ooops, you didn't include Ogbono. Almost everyone enjoys Ogbono soup
The ofe nsala we see is called fisherman soup. All people living around riverine area has their version of fisherman soup all around the world
Onitsha fisherman soup is what gave birth to the ofe nsala we eat now.
If you get married to an Onitsha man, the soup you prepare for them is their native soup which is ofe nsala with corn meal.
You go for any Onitsha festival, the main food of the day is ofe nsala.
Just needed to clarify that.

Do you know, the old rangers association play Christmas holiday special matches with football clubs of various towns when invited?
Book and pay the price and there you have the squad.
They have been coming to my town since I was a kid. They are not cheap though but my town's football association recoup the money through gate fare.
Yep, we pay to watch match for good 2 weeks during Xmas holiday and you need to see crowd. It's an event people look forward to. And to think it's just an ordinary fenced field. No seat.

People from other towns come to watch too. Seems people use the event for catching up. Even oldies join. The cup is worth millions. Winners are hosted to party in 5 star hotel of the city they represent and the cash price shared.
What a way to spend Xmas.

YesDaddyTill203:
The only way to have strong institutions is by having people with ethics, morals and who are willing to uphold the laws, values, and ethics of the institutions that they work in or serve. When you have a society made up of mostly corrupt, selfish, and unethical people, you can't have strong institutions.

Your institutions are only as strong as the people that are running them. Institutions are buildings and humans that make them work.
No matter the President or Governor's intentions, if the people running any institution from the clerk to the top are not trust worthy then the institution is nothing.
The people that make the FBI great are the people that work there, not the building or the laws. The people that work there are determined to uphold the values of the institution.
It still boils down to elected officials.
Elected officials make the institutions strong.
Period.

I watched a Korean movie on Netflix (we're all dead) their high school kids were making drones. And to them it was nothing. Most of these phones and other gadgets we worship here, you'd be shocked that even their high school kids use them and they don't make noise about it.

Here in Nigeria all we do is to flunt what other hard working countries make. In fact you're classified as a big boy whenever you publicly flunt gadgets that even teenagers over there can easily afford.

Do you think if innoson had a car assemble plant in Korea, Korean owners of his cars would be squealing like coven witches for owning an African car?

A lot of Africans are still suffering from slave mentality. Regardless of how wealthy they are.
It is low self esteem.
We need to capture and educate them from the cradle else they will end up like it.
Its psychology. No good country ignore psychology. That why it's hot cake in developed countries. We also assume the ways we train kids are the best. Our method produces adults with low self esteem no matter how rich and connected the person is. We neglect child psychology so much. How can we grow.

it's very convenient and easy to blame the govt. Even the person blaming the govt is also a crook at his place of work but he doesn't see himself as part of the problem. That's the Nigerian quagmire for you. Almost everyone is a crook but they only see politicians as thieves and not themselves even though they are also involved in thievery at some level.
The knife is with the govt. We have the law but weak institution. Exactly what Jonathan said yrs ago.
Strong institution is what builds any country.

That private blood bank buys blood from general hospitals who mandates that husbands or relatives of pregnant women donate blood as a prerequisite for antenatal registration. When I was pregnant withy first child, my husband was made to donate blood at the GH we registered in and I ended up not giving birth there meaning we've dashed them the blood. When someone I know gave birth at GH and had to be transfused with blood, she said they had to buy blood. I asked how come, didn't her husband donate blood? She said they donated but they were still charged. This was as far back as 2011/2012. They need to explain to us what they do with the thousands of pints they collect from patients who don't eventually use it.
They sell it.

I once had blood transfusion after 2 days after cs and it was because my blood level was so low months before the cs. Had a dizzy episode and my husband was told to donate and his blood was used. We were matched. End of tory.

In most developed countries, govt appeal to people to donate blood.
WHO recommended that blood donation should be voluntary. But in naija, you will be coaxed to do it.
The only thing we ever get right is making Nigerian dishes.
