noblezone: I disconnected PHCN cable in my house for 4 months.

PHCN came to negotiate and I gave my conductions:

1. I need a meter
2. I want to be billed based on consumption.


Rather than ask Nigerians to stop paying bills, ask them to disconnect in protest.

I take your point. But you did not pay a kobo to PHCN in the four months you disconnected your cable; did you? Besides the aim of this campaign is to ensure REGULAR power supply to all Nigerians; not just a few!

ujchief: Nice try guys! Keep it up. What of some of us that are fortunate enough to have 18 hours of uninterupted power suply by virtue of where we're staying? Should we join in the protest too?
Like someone sugested, geting a pre-paid metre could be the best option.
However, i'll suport a demonstration against the new tarif! Its absurd! Broad day light robery if u'd ask me.

Lucky you! But what percentage of Nigerians will put their hands up to say they enjoyed 10 hours of electricity in a week! having a prepaid meter does not offer meaningful and consistent power supply!

ATMC: I thought they'd sold phcn?

I doubt if that alone will shake the foundation of little or no electricity in Nigeria. The reality is that if we fold our arms as usual, we will always be taken for a ride!

@Nice-Kid, there is corruption in getting a prepaid meter, it can also be very expensive and besides it does not stop the problem of inconsistent power supply!

@teskyg, the protest is planned for the Ist of January 2013 to reflect a new year's resolution towards lack of consistent electricity in Nigeria

This is a passionate plea to all Nigerians to carry out a non violent protest against the Power 'Holding' Company of Nigeria' by stop paying our electricity bills until there is a major improvement in the power sector.

* Many Nigerians lose a bulk of their hard earned earnings buying fuel to run expensive generators, yet we pay monthly service charge/bills for electricity we hardly USE!
* If every Nigerian affected by 'NEPA' stopped paying their bills, PHCN stands to lose millions of Naira in revenue every day and this will make them think twice*
* Most Nigerians are already used to little or no electricity for months, so this action will have minimum negative impact on personal and business lives*
* Why pay monthly for a service a services you do not receive?*
* Would you continue to pay for a service you do not receive?*
* No electricity affects everyone, both rich and poor in Nigeria*
*Why do we continue to line the pockets of these fat cats*
* Just like the fuel subsidy, the whole nation has to rally ourselves together and fight this illness that has been ravaging our society for generations*
* But unlike the fuel subsidy protest, you do not have to carry placards and demonstrate or be forced to stay at home; you can still your about your daily routine uninterrupted*
* Is there an alternative to being taken for a 'mugun?'
I strongly believe that the beginning of a lasting solution to this never-ending problem is to set a date for all Nigerians to begin a campaign to simply STOP PAYING NEPA BILL!. IT IS NOT A ILLEGAL TO STOP PAYING NEPA BILLS! HIT THE FAT BASTARDS WHERE IT WILL HURT MOST; THEIR POCKETS! FELLOW NIGERIANS IF WE STAND TOGETHER WE CAN BE VERY FORMIDABLE!
