Ghen ghen....seems you are new to band A around you there, it been Almost 2 years here, unplugged AC , like 5hrs use of Fridge for a week ,watching machine,TV , few energy saving bulbs ,2 DC/AC fans (low consumption and works on battery) I still spent up to 5k weekly..self meter that make me able to control and minimize.....what about people that share , what about face me I face you I heard those one light bill supercede their monthly rent....., go to all area using band A ask them to choose from 12hrs light for disband or continue with band A result for disband will be 99.9



Band A is a scam or let say idea from a non intelligent man not considering the masses and this eeediot wants to be a governor in a state



Answer..not just stable it very very stable , but lemme break it down to your understanding seems u are on lower bands, you don't force me to go for classy expensive breakfast to leave lunch and dinner that's example of what you posted up here..if ur on band A u will know how it not possible to on light for just 3hrs while there current in ur apartment , mind you Lagos state deputy governor has once lament on this band A issue ooo

Did you guys used to have stable light like this before now?

ufotunang:
That is the renewed hope the incompetent Tinubu was telling you about

But you are shouting,"give us light,give us light ,any amount,we go pay, the don give you light now ,you don dey complain

PlasmaTV:
This seems like an insensitive comment. He who wears the shoes knows where it punches.

If the Boko Haram as not subsidize as you think will be moving them out of IDP camp?

But is the light stable ,yes or no? Ans beside ,I always wonder why people nare comaplain.i ca decide to off my meter to just use it for 3hrs in a day but I am sure i will get the light anytime I need it

saphiere:
I saw where someone posted he spends 20k monthly with fridge and AC and he's complaining.

Mine I only on fan, laptop and charge phone I don't even on light bulbs. Yet I spend 30k plus.

Any month I mistakenly turn on fridge 50 something thousand will go.

I stay in PH. Woji precisely. I have steady light but omo I pay through my nose.
I see more than 20hrs daily.

Maybe you are having debt on the meter before.

However,which one did you prefer ,the old ways of paying for darkness or the new way of paying much for the light used

richmond500:
they install solar?
Let me rephrase, there is no part of Nigeria that enjoy 24hrs electricity from PHCN

Better ,I think they said world bank or so install it for them through osinbajo when he was in power and FG has been doing that to some villages not more than 2500people now.through rural electrification something.

Gerrard59:
I was told the same by a friend recently. He talk say N50 is the only lowest denomination that's useful. Anything below no get use.

No, problem of Nigeria is Nigerians .how can you explain this,We in the north west come to Lagos to buy pure water materials transport the materials here and produce the water see it #20 against #50 you sell it over there.I don't understand that theories

Foodempire:
It seems like lies to you but it's not, running a family in nigeria of today is way expensive and people hardly have anything less to save,my monthly expenses is between 950k/1.50m for a family of 7, house rent not inclusive and trust me no lavish lifestyles added

Because we buy many things we do need .you think we need it but we don't actually need them.

Is only Nigeria we don't check power rating of our appliance before buying them but we now complain that electricity is expensive.we use 2 fridges when we know one can actually serve but now come to talk about expensive electricity

nedekid:
Inless you use inverter ac you likely spend more that 160k.
Me I only use the 1hp in bedroom, turned off the big deep freezer for a smaller one, one st anding fridge, the normal fans and others, I average 5-10k daily, if the kids are home from school then 15k+ daily as they turn on acs in their rooms or 2hp unit in the living room. Ofcourse with the heat these days one cannot stop them.

But have you been having stable light in your area like this before this govt come to power? If No,which one did you prefer, expensive available or cheap but not available

ibechris:
If u want to make it in this country,first of all forget all the lies we were told about education and certificate.

Hustle like u have no other time,hustle hard like an illiterate and then,u will see gradual change in ur income.

Then start improving on them until u get better at it.

Dong forget,I started very small till it got better.

U can too.
This,I did some years back.

How old are you now?

richmond500:
There is no part of Nigeria that has 24hrs light

Search for gbamu gbamu in ogun State. Though is solar they installed for the village but they enjoy 24\7 light

PlasmaTV:
Chief, I'll vex for you o 😂

I've not had constant electricity since Tuesday. As I'm talking, there's no electricity.

Let me shock you further - in the last year, I've paid more for electricity/transformer/pole replacement than I've paid for my prepaid meter. All on top epileptic supply.

I seriously hope he'll make magic before 2027 and electricity is constant. Even if not cheap, let it be constant.

If not, he'll go back to his Village.

I support you 100% if the light is not stable before 2027 make he go back because he said it ,but we should not also complain about the price.
But are you on band A?
You see nepa dey cheat us with this repair ,they know we need the service and we can't wait they will deliberately leave it so that we can contribute to repair it for them

Mrexcell:
Can solar carry pumping machine and ion?

Solar can carry everything ,na your money go determine.

There are towns that FG place on Solar

papyjaypaul:
Band A to Z Bandit Electricity Billing is one of the biggest frauds of this APC government. How people let this happen lying low is something I'll never understand. Your government is using discrimination to give you essential services and you people say no, it's private sector, it's disco and sisqo ahh

Let them move everbody to band A and pay the same amount

Gerrard59:
Or have just one child and everything becomes easier 😉

We always try to quote the white when comparing our givt with them but can we sacrifice what they did.Average children of America is 2 while average children of Nigeria is 3,yet we want out country to be like them.
Infact ,China made laws that you can give more than 2 .let our givt mada that law here , Nigeria will go on strike.

Govt just made it easier for parents.nelfund is there to train your child

PlasmaTV:
In a sane country, electricity is electricity. Having constant, ceaseless power isn't rocket science. It's unfortunate that 60+ years after independence, we've not gotten it right.

And I have a video of the current president telling us to vote him out if he can't provide electricity after his 1st tenure.

And is the light not stable for you now? He never promised cheap light but stable light after 4 years . You can see people's comments,not that the light is not stable but is very expensive , though we still have many areas that have not been seeing the light like me,but I ma sure before he finish his 4 years he must have rectify it ,but it will not be cheap.

Efficient light first before subsidy

richmond500:
For the past 10yrs, I have never lived in a place where I get less than 20hrs light, except when I visit my village

So I do not see 20hrs as a big deal

Since they born me ,I have never live in a place that enjoy 20 hrs light I my life,I always even think I am the one that use to spoil there light,If I just park come your area now ,the light will spoil,I love out I hear they have repair the light again.I have gone to buy small solar for my self jare.But I can tell you ,make I see that your light and pay Band A money ,I will go chuech do Thanksgiving

AKWATGOLD1:
Thank God that 20k can sustained for a month.

Here in Ph, 100k and above for band A.

Maybe you don't iron and other things. How many bedrooms that you use 20k on electricity per month.

We are just complaining on what we can managed.change the iron to inverter iron

overdrive:
Kindly outline how much it cost you to completely switch to solar. I spend #10k a week on electricity. Band A to be precise.
Sometimes I am happy when they take light.

But must you on light everyday? Off light to save your money now .my prayer is let me get the light the time I need it.let me be sure light dey na me ni get the money

MadamExcellency:
I am firmly contemplating the struggles that civil servants face in coping with the soaring cost of living in Nigeria. It is crucial to recognize the challenge of feeding a family of five, including those in universities and secondary schools.

Life isn't fair to all.

Take you eyes 👀 off higher institution except you want to kill yourself.Let the children be using nelfund ,

richmond500:
There is no place in Nigeria that have constant light, but I could boast of 20hrs light

Wait ,20hrs light is not constant for Naija.God,see sombody saying 20hrs is not constant,pls give us 15hrs and let us pay like band A we will thank You.Answer our prayer oh lord

2cribz:
Honestly it's been 2 years I installed prepaid meter,before then,the useless light was not available. The moment I installed the prepaid meter,the light now became stable and I've never one day turn on my AC. I only do with solar.once I pump water,iron ,I turn back to solar.money must not finish

That is way to go,but the light is stable right?

praxs:
I am jealous of you. Before I stopped using Napa completely, I was spending 170k/month on electricity in my two bedroom apartment. Appliances includes: deep freezer, fridge, 1.5hp ac (10to 15hrs daily), fans, bulbs, kitchen electronics, 3 tvs. Now I am completely off grid through the use of solar


*modify - I see people asking my solar set up:

Initially, I was using nepa together with a 2.5kva inverter + 2pcs 220ams battery (no panels). After I relocated to a new place with band A, the elect bill suffocated me. I discarded my both nepa and upgraded my solar system. Now I am using a 10kva inverter, 15kwh lithium battery and 16pcs of 500w panels in my 3 bedroom apartment. This powers my freezer, inverter fridge, washing machine, water dispenser, 2pcs of 1.5hp ac, 4pcs TV, fans and bulbs. Mind you, solar will make you learn load management even more than when you are using nepa. All the applainces are on from 8am to 5pm. Then I start switching off some so I can use my ac at night (I put ac at 28/29 degrees + fan to circulate the cold air). Not for one day have a gone even for 10 minutes without light since I put this set up. Solar is expensive no doubt, but it is worth it at the end

I love what you said,Solar will teach you more light management than nepa light.Many people don't manage nepa light that is why they complain but they will never complain when they are the one controlling their power themselves,you see them offing everything and on the most important one

richmond500:
yes I do

Is better now,you can easily control your light,off everything and on only what you need,change your fans to inverter fans , including you fridge and bulb.bros,I dey pray to have that kind of light with the same billing let it just be prepaid,I can use 10k in a month.

PlasmaTV:
Categorization of electricity into bands is one of the most stupid things this govt did.

Everyone should have 24/7 electricity, and everyone should be billed the same. But no. The scam called Band A.

And the power minister is already hinting at hiking electricity costs. Again.

So that what you are complaining will stop.Everybody Wil be moved to band A and get required numbers of light then pay the same amount

mrvitalis:
I spend 160k amonth to use AC on a 3 bedroom... 2 is what's mostly occupied

How many hours light?

richmond500:
Mogbe, how u deh use ur own light?
Are u on band A too?

The only thing I enjoy from the bandA is that I deh get up to 20-21hrs light, the price is not income friendly

Did you use prepaid?

mrvitalis:
2 weeks? 10k last me 1 week without AC

But you do have the light constant?

richmond500:
I on AC for only 5mins and put it off when the room is cold, I do this like 7-10 times a day.

I put of everything when I leave house in the morning and put them back on in the evening.
I don't see how I should be spending 20k on light bill, it doesn't make sense

But you do have the light constant?

Jaylord12:
Akpabio is so senseless...You are the number 3 citizen in Nigeria,u have the mantle to solve the problem called insecurity but u have not made any significant impact on insecurity....You should cover your face in shame...Obi is not the president, vice president or senate president...

But where he is a leader ,he can't even solve the problem,pls how can he now solve national problems

Sharpsharp00123:
Which data again?

Even on IMF website it shows 00

Help me ask them oo ,even they follow Tinubu to where they pay the money they will still say the money is old money not new money
