That's because you're a crook. You're part of the people spoiling the power sector so no need to look towards govt because it is made up with people like you. People who are always looking for a shortcut for the system not to work. You can justify yourself to your praise singers who do not know better but you know what you are proposing is stealing electricity no matter how you term it.

It's because of people like you that the disco's think they are losing money on prepaid and are not ready to continue to fund it. After all, anyone can now buy meters. Keep channeling the money into your slush fund.

NERC have made a rule that anyone can buy meters. So, why not go to the disco, get their spec and buy it. Give it to them to fix and integrate into their system.

I didn't want to insult you cos I might banned. Now block head, this is business. you can position yourself to supply the meter to Power Holding companies across Nigeria by working with them.

You are just a frustrated Nigerian like many before you.

I don't know how you can be this heartless to continue supporting the none availabilty of meter while the nepa guys keep bringing exorbitant bills for them to pay.

You are wicked and evil and probably drunk!

Sometimes all you need do is brace the odds & change your location. I keep wondering what young job applicants are doing in some empty states. I know jobs are scarce, but atleast be close to the opportunity.

Move to a state with lots of investments and better opportunities and hustle. Leave your comfort zone.

If you know, you know.

Which year did Jonathan place the order, which year was privatization concluded and which year did Fashola come on board? If Jonathan indeed placed mass order for prepaid meters to fulfill govt move towards privatization, how would it be possible for Fashola who came years later after privatization to cancel it?

My point is that you got it wrong. There were already problems with issuance of prepaid meters before Jonathan left. Fashola through NERC stopped DISCOs from collecting further money from new customers since they couldn't supply meters to those who had already paid for it.

And the meters that were distributed freely to customers were the first sets when prepaid meters were recently introduced and it had nothing to do with privatization. You got your timeline of events wrong.

TRUE!

tosinet:
That's what I'm saying, its really easy to get the prepaid meters from manufacturers outside the country, but phcn will frustrate the effort by not integrating it to the system. They will be giving you some grammar about its quality, uniformity, that it won't read well etc they will just be bringing such excuses to maintain the status quo.

Your head dey there bro. Na only God go save us for this country.

AreaFada2:
This is crazy. In a country of 18k minimum wage?

bros, I am business minded, so when problems become too much, it triggers my inquisitive mind and intrigue me.

I didn't pay attention until a few weeks ago but the last few days has been intensely pulling my attention to it.

If not that I don't have connection in high places, getting this meter is at simple as ABC and it's not even as expensive as it is sold in Nigeria and my fear is getting arrested if I should start selling it.

And @blank calling me a criminal is just the most ignorant person on this thread.

those people they claim to manufacture in Nigeria are just fooling around. They don't manufacture shiiit. Na Assembling dem dey do.

But I will try to see if I can break into the niche since one guy says they are offering license. The demand is fuuucking high and one can't afford to miss on such hot market.

I created this thread from the stand point of an ignorant person intentionally for a reason to answer two questions that came to my mind when the idea hit me.

1. Is it politics or 2 is it really scarce. If it were 1, then bad news and if it is 2, then good news.

Apparently the scarcity is no1, politics...

One of those times one wish they have connections.

You're a criminal.

expand your horizon... Nigeria produces nothing and if you know what's up you can achieve any forking thing.

AreaFada2:
If they can order fighter jets from Trump (though we never see the jets o), what is prepaid meters that can be made locally?

It is a case of massive DISCOs corruption & extortion. Inflated estimated bills rake in free massive cash for them & their corrupt staff.

Question of meter manipulation is just a lame excuse. If true the makers should make the meters extremely hard to manipulate.

Everything is wrong with 9ja honestly.

After paying over 40K per meter and waiting endlessly, we got finally one years back They have been dribbling us Maradona for other meters requested since.

People now pay 60 or 65k... For 1 phase and 100k+ for 3 phase.

damola1:
I just paid 100k to get prepaid meter.

how many phase does it have?

olubankemi:
Get yourself updated. Soon some private contractors called MAPs - meter access providers will be licensed to sell prepaid meters . It's soon going to be like you going out there to buy a sim card.

They were supposed to start functioning April 28 but politics is holding them back.


Even Phcn in my area is going out there ones they've being keeping free.

Bro, what if I as a persona knows where to get the meter from? Can I apply for MAP and be license? What are the procedures and fees involved?

blank:
You're a criminal.

what do you know? Who were the previous sellers? Where did they get it from? What defines a criminal act? Are the current players not short changing Nigerians? You are just an ignorant Nigerian and so I won't waste my energy.

[quote author= post=67539241]D matter weak me no be small o...

Been pondering about it for a long time now....[/quote]bros I can get meter for anybody but how to integrate it into the system of DC is the problem,except people I help will secretly call Staff to come and integrate it for him.

Adegbenro7643:
OK,,here is what I learnt from a PHCN official:
He said it has come to the notice of the PHCN that some people have known different ways to manipulate the meter to minimize the credit usage & work even when there's no credit on it.

I don't doubt that but come on, who has time for such? Who would wanna do such when it is cheaper than estimated billing?

Josh44s:
Oboy na free light me dey use for the past 8 months now. Don’t ask me why and how because PHCN staff caused it. Whenever they come to my hood, I just let loose my neighbor’s Caucasians and Boeboel.

Samunique:

bros, it is not a laughing matter ooo. We are too wicked in this country.

People. Should go through the link below. We are fuucckked in this country.

I can get anybody a prepaid meter but seeing the kind of evil men at the
helm of power supply frustrating the availability of the meter, I might be arrested if found out and how to integrate the meter into their system is another hurdle so that you can recharge it.

TMemos:
Honestly, I don't know why availability of prepaid metres should be a problem

because it will block money being made from old system of estimated metering. Now, if people can prevent prepaid meter, as simple as this, what make you think we will ever have get constant power supply, what make you think that generator will be history?

As I am typing this, my new ELEPAQ generator is blazing away and disturbing my neighbours who can't afford one for themselves... it is sad bro. so sad. I was just lucky to have gotten a prepaid meter that last me 3 months usage per recharge.

SalamRushdie:
It does big time ...big big time

lol... and we say we can really get constant power supply? That will NEVER happen in the next 100 YEARS!

TMemos:
This is the kind of question which we should be asking
This is the kind of conversation we should be having everyday

This question is issue-based
We should be asking our government questions that are specific and measurable

How many prepaid metres did Buhari meet in May 2015?

How many prepaid metres are available to customers now (May 2018)?

How many prepaid metres will be available by May 2019?

Let's not make it tribal or political party based.

Estimated billing is cheating and amounts to corruption

Enough is enough!

Why should supplying metres which customers will PAY FOR become a problem?

This is the kind of thread that should be on the front page, rather than stories of cleavage baring slay queens

If something as simple as prepaid meter can be become a problem, what makes you think Nigeria will ever get constant power supply? It further explains what people have been saying that the Nigeria not experiencing constant power supply is due to some persons preventing...

neonly, thanks for your contribution.

Read the link below. Chai... Nigeria ooo

I have been thinking about this for some time now and I would like people in the know to help with answer.

Why aren't there prepaid meter for supply?

Is it politics or there really are non available for use?

I mean did they stop the supply of the prepaid meter because they make more money from houses that do not have the meter or it is true that meter are not really available?

Please if anybody has an idea why people can not get prepaid meter from power companies, please answer

gaby:
This is a typical 'make me feel good statement' from a typical scammer and everyone else engaged in reaping where they haven't sown.

You and I know this is certainly not true, because scamming or stealing is gender and race (less) and most people touting this slave trade shit are actually ignorant to the 'Slave Trade' story.

Now tell me, would you refuse to reply a potential Ghanaian mugu's response to your mail? Or better still, how would you react to an African American's payment slip to your mail box. Do not forget the African American are the original victims of this purported slave trade.

Be honest and tell me you'd ask them to keep their money because you are all victims of the 'white man's' trade and as such you are fighting one course.

I'd regard myself as an authority on this subject matter,having seen and done all of it.You can read about it and more in my book from profile.

Slave trade isn't a viable excuse bro, wrong is wrong,evil is evil. There's Karma men let's live honest and aright.
