MIKOLOWISKA:
How much does UK pay

24.5P/kWh. That's the national average.

MIKOLOWISKA:
what does hotel produce? what does your house produce
How many Nigerians can afford 12 million
Cheaper does not mean cheap.
A lambo is cheaper than a rolls Royce, doesn't mean you can afford it

You are asking howmany Nigerians can afford N12, is this a joke?mayB you duel in the wrong sections of nairaland
Come to the Property section please.
You asked what my house produce?
Well my house produces a conducive environment for my family
We get cool air when its really hot.
Produces a secure environment
We produce cooked food that we eat
We produce enough electricity to power the whole household
it produces power to power the TV, Washing machine ,Microwave, freezer, Hot water and light.
NB,I dont know your life situation but you must know this,if in 2024 you still earn N500K a month you are a poor man and this is FACT.

MIKOLOWISKA:
Demand far exceeded supply. They will make money with or without meters. Na you need light. They don't need you. Factories alone will consume the light

you live in Nigeria right? and you seem not to know what the problems in the power sector is. Did you know the the impact of TCN b4 its dismissal?As things stands, the DISCOS are not collecting generated power from the Gencos and they in turn charge Estimated bill payers fortune for power not supplied. This on the flip side is killing the Gencos cos they don't get paid by the Discos this thievery is made possible by TCN.So as we speak the only way the Discos are making monies are via estimated billing with no new infrastructure in place to facilitate a real up to date power supply. So if the Discos return power to the Gencos where do you suggest the so called factories get power from?
However to solve this issue the Fg introduced a new Energy Bill which most of you would have heard of but failed to understand. You can now be a Genco and a Disco, but the problem there is the Cabals just as we have in the petrol and oil sector. AS we speak, factories do not rely on PHCN, They have their own Energy source.

ajebuter:
I'm one of those customers bros

Since I installed solar and inverter, l don't even use NEPA light again starting August when they migrated us to Band A

I only buy 12k token monthly so that my inverter would charge after sunlight

That reduced my former monthly purchase of 25 to 30k

Now, a large number of Lagos residents on Band A only use light at night and that will drastically reduce income for NEPA as you opined

Soon, NEPA go hear am

Great choice.

MIKOLOWISKA:
It's like putting plaster on compound fracture. Solar produces nothing. It gdaammt run any heavy machinery. Candle can as well give light if it's just light you want

How do you mean solar produces nothing, I have seen where, N28M investment carried 30 room hotel at Ugheli delta state, my friend owns the hotel.I have done an audit in my house and it was gathered that with N12m I can live grid free this is a 4 bed duplex with 5ACs 2 fridges a washing machine etc.You will have to do a research on Solar power, its getting cheaper by the day.

maasoap:
You still haven't understood the direction this is going. Soon, DISCO will begin refusing to buy enough electricity from GENCO because they're losing some customers while the rest are not using much electricity per day (like my household ) and GENCO too will start complaining. And before you know it, power sector will have huge problem of inability to sell their generated electricity simply because there are not enough consumers anymore

Great, they will now go back to the drawing board and invest their money like Glo and MTN did. Thank God government do not own them anymore its private investors, if these lot leave the industry ,people who are serious will take over. We all have to stick to prepaid or no billing.

Rexymania:
Poor man. If them go police station, the woman go win am

That has nothing to do with poverty, He has the right to collect his property back if he can prove he set it up for her. This can be in way of bank receipt or proof of transfer or witness statement.
The new boyfriend should set another biz for the girl simple,
Nobody dey gree these days.

princemaths:
the only foolish country in the world is Nigeria where foools like you defend bad leaders.

Nigeria would have been way better off if it was like Egypt. Cos Egypt is way better than Nigeria

Numbers
1,3 and 9 have nothing near stable electricity, that was a blog created by a lazy content creator.

Winnin009:
More like no meter; free power! That would force the DISCOs to send meters across board. Fashola actually put out such law when he was minister for power but nigerians don't read the news nor know their rights.

Estimated billing has been made illegal since the past administration. We're a people that're used to being oppressed and begging same oppressors for a break. If nepa go areas where there are no meters and want to cut light; rather than band together and ask for prepaid meters, they start beggin the same NEPA that's in the wrong.

Well done at least here is someone with a Brain. Let PHCN take their wire away, infarct ask them to close your account, you can do this by writing a letter and taking it to their local office, get it signed and no more bills, take a prepaid meter instead,

MIKOLOWISKA:
In countries do ppl attack Nepa staff when they want to disconnect power thieves?
You dent want to pay but you want to consume. Idiocy

I those countries you are thinking of, there are prepaid meters, you only pay for what you buy like MTN, so nothing like disconnection, you don't buy power you don't get power simple, wont life be sweet if that's the way we do it in Nigeria?

nairalanda1:
Well, things do cost money to make and supply.

If you read the whole story you will get the gist that those on Estimated billings are the ones requesting for this, My house has a prepaid metre so i don't need to disconnect just don't use PHCN, I'm on solar power instead. No fixed Billi use whatever I get. Now there is not enough Power to supply people for 24 hours, so these Disco who are thieves, will suplly120 hrs of power in a month and charge you for 720 hours of consumption. What do you call that?The way to go is for everyone to acquire a prepaid meter see if these Discos don't sit up and invest into the transmission of electricity.

princemaths:
so it's a good thing to spend 80% of minimum wage on electricity alone. You do know some people salary isn't up to that.

He complains and you said it's entitlement mentality.

I don't blame I blame the person still feeding and housing you everyday that's why you're here yapping rubbish.

Did you read the whole initial post?

nairalanda1:
Okey dokey....you can help Nigerians by setting up your own corruption free power company that would charge N10 per unit.

Good morning, comrade Ivanov.

you still haven't gotten it, well good luck to the lot of yah,

AmalaAtiEwedu:
go developed countries go ask d same question.
no dey talk like olodo

there aint no band in the UK

A305:
There is an alternative which is solar power. My best guess is those requesting disconnection intends to go the solar route because fuel is expensive as well.

It will only cost them inverter, battery and solar panel fee. Sun is free and it will remain free and inexhaustible.

If Nigeria was a functional country, we would have at least one NUCLEAR POWER plant.

How?

Sign a deal with Russian so they help us build it for free, Grant them license to run the operation of the power plant commercially till they recoup their money plus profit and hand over the power plant to Federal Government.

Ghana is thinking in that direction now. While us giant of Africa by GDP can't think in that direction.

We cannot afford Nuclear way too xpenssive to build.

Flipmac:
I am on Band A and I spend 1500 for 7.1 units every day. That is N45k per month on Electricity.

Tinubu has finished this country.

If you have power everyday then that's not xpenssive ,Try buying petrol to power your house

nairalanda1:
Not surprised.....the fact is after years of thinking power was cheap, we are waking up to the cold reality.

I'll leave this post i made earlier




The fact is, if we want power, we got to pay for it at high prices. But most of us don't want to because we won't be able to afford the prices needed to kick start the sector.

You seem to fall under the small percentage who do not understand that the power industries are scandalous. Them lot requesting disconnections are on teh estimated billing circle, Why wont they request to be disconnected .All they need do is go to prepaid meters then let us see how the so called Discos are going to make any money. No light you pay no bills, that's the way it should go, there is no way on earth where PHCN supplied power was going to be dearer than Generators adn Solar.

ComeToJesus:
Even though I do not subscribe to VDM's unlettered approach to activism, but guy, shut the fck up.

How about you taking it from where he is unable to proceed further?

Can one man solve the problems of over 220 million mumus and cowards and paper tigers like you and your ilk who are bent on asking him to do more?

Imstead of always effortlessly dissipating your stale energy on Nairaland with your warped and patently stupid submissions, you can champion those causes that you listed there and make social impact for once.

Exactly these are the ones who hide behind when it is time to fight and collect N10k from politicians to vote. Nah them.

blueAgent:
True.
I would take VDM serious when he talks against the injustice of this government on Nigerians.

Instead of you to invest ur Energy of taking VDM seriously why don't you fight your own fight, he has done his start yours. Nigerians like to castigate those who dare to start something if them ask you now we go see say you never fit challenge next door Dog sef.

Sucre6:
I like the guy but he messed up bad with this police uniform move

Oga nah the way our country Be, In the Uk and US, you are allowed to war police ,Navy Army Uniform. That is no ones biz.as far as you are not claiming to be one when you are not. Infarct these law enforcement are happy for you to wear o ne as its a thing of pride to them that you want to identify with them.

N3TRAL:
He's most likely not 101 years old.

Not up to 10 people in Nigeria are over 100 years old if there's any.

he def is, His life would be well documented.

You better thank your star someone adopted you... I'm sure things were easy then... If it was now that things were really tough.... Nobody will dare adopt you... You could have been hawking groundnuts or opa by now

I think you are missing something, that is not Nigeria

venabili:
Hi all,

My younger sis is moving to UK for her masters. Someone said she needs to have a USD account with funds inside for border entry. Felt weird since GBP is the legal tender in UK. She currently has her funds in naira.

Appreciate any enlightenment on this

who ever said that was talking outta their backside

Anyone with Idea of cost of water collector as part of roofing

Kewtt:
Good morning erico2k2. Have a great weekend.

I don't think you even realize the V5 share one cylinder head.SO its not an actual V5 for argument sake.

Kewtt:
Good morning erico2k2. Have a great weekend.

you are yet to prove those wrong

AlvinOO7:
You said the ‘V’ starts from ‘6’..

Yes but since we are getting into the nitty gritty, the VW V5 is not a true V layout Engine as its a stagard V ie hybrid btw a V and an inline Engine. If you do your research well you will get what I am saying, I decided not to delve into it cos people who are not mechanical savvy wont get it.if you not it was introduced by VW and its actually a VR5.

Love800:
I have never seen when they will compensate someone without documents. Well sha, that is your own opinion.

CofO is not the most important document, there is Deeds, and land registration
there is agreement and others.

AlvinOO7:
Volkswagen has a V5.

Check again, we are talking of V4 not V5s,I have seen Golf with V5 plenty of it.

Kewtt:
There are V4 engines

Have you seen one with your Eyes?
