Exactly I’m on band A.i use nepa for just 3hrs daily.7-10pm to power my batteries.all through the day I use my solar.So solar gives me 21hrs light then nepa gives me 3hrs.I am fine with not paying more than 30k bill monthly.If u don’t have solar on BandA u will die

And you are sure you will have nepa light anytime you need it?

Udstar:
Some in Band C and D still enjoy constant power supply. Why are they rubbing Peter to pay Paul

The question is ,did you get value for your Money?if yes,then keep quite

lebete3000:
You get washing machine still dey use hand dey wash. You're literally living in penury.

Na everytime you use your call card to make calls? Sometimes you even flash the perosn,not that you don't have card but you just think calling the perosn is not important.I might decide to use my washing machine anytime I desire ,not a most,na so oyinbi dey run ham,make light stable first make we get light anytime we want to get the light make we see ham

Sirseedorf:
The way electricity is stable ehn, if you are not careful enough you will be conserving a lot of power...

Abeg which state?

Cj4charles:
Oga stop praising bad policies, that is the reason Nigeria is where it is today

Pls what did you what? You still want stable light that you can waste? The question should be ,did you get value for your money?

Wait! Which one is we shàll survive,no be like that life suppose dey? For obodoyinbi that we admire ,no be like that they use their life ? But for Nigeria,we want everything free so that we can waste it,my own is let the light be available when I nned it,let me get it that time

Mitsurugi:
Be innovative. Find ways to conserve power. Switch off power from the change over when you're not around. There are times when you really don't need power on. One of my friends uses one AC from the living room to cool the entire house (apartment though). Everyone just opens the bedroom door to collect share.

We can survive Tinubu

bewisemasses:
Shouldn't this thing be made optional if possible

Na compulsory you use all your appliances ?on the ones you need and off the rest,is Nigeria I will see they will on light outside during the day

GerogeI:
If you are in band A,
To reduce your bill, and turn the 24 hours into advantage,
1. Put your refrigerator on half duty cycle, it should be off at night. You either use a timer switch (cost about 10k on Jumia) or you switch it off and on manually - labour intensive. Any night you forget is about 2 kwh or credit units or about N500.

2. Invest in grid tied Solar system. This takes advantage of the 20 hours power availability. You do not need to buy batteries, but you need a good Hybrid solar inverter with grid connection. For every 4 used solar panels, you will produce 1kwh of electricity daily. The more you have the more you produce. As a rule of thumb, each 300w solar panel will give you an average of 50w for 5 hours or 250wh or 0.25kwh.

A normal house with lighting TV and refrigerator, without Air conditioner consumes about 6 kwh daily. Putting your refrigerator on day cycle will reduce 1.5 kwh or credit units leaving 4.5. Adding 5 solar panels, will reduce it to 3.5 kwh. Adding 10 Solar panels will reduce it to 2.5 kW hour. Because you must use lighting and fan at night, you cannot go lower than 2.5 kwh daily without investing in Storage batteries which are the costliest part of solar with 2 or 3 years short life span.

At 2.5 kwh per day your electricity bill for band A will be 2.5 x30 days x N230= N18000 approx. Not bad for 24 hours light.

Thanks for the information, Nigerians want stable light yet want to continue to on all appliances even when they are not at home. Na like that oyinbi dey do ham?

hisgrace090:
Many poor Nigerians families have bn eronously included in this band a,b and c making it very difficult for them to use light again.
Question now is why pushing Nigerians out of everything that makes life meaningful?
Constant electricity that is not affordable is of no need and as good as constant darkness.

What makes electricity constant in advance counties is because light is not cheap, everybody now off appliances that they did not need,just to maximize their bill online before,they question is, those of you shouting light is expensive,do you get value for what you paid for?

JoeyNaza:
What sort of rubbish talk is this. Why is he doing what he thinks is best for the country now when he fought against it over 9 years ago. By the way he hasn't fully implemented subsidy else you will be buying fuel at 1500, all because the half conscious man and his economic team of flops decided to remove subsidy and float naira the following month. Monkeys in power.

Stop allowing tribalism cloud your sense. You voted in and have supported a well packaged failure. If you like continue in your delusion, na you go tire after 4/8 years.

Stop crying young man,even if your obi enter ,policy that he critize he will implement so far it is good.i kmwo you don't knwo much about givt because you did not do govt in school,one of the major characteristics of a political party is a to win election,they cristize everything govt policy jus to win election ,not that some policy are bad but because they want to win election ,they will even give advice that they know it is not achievable ,just to look like they are with the masses to gain popularity or sympathy votes.

Jonathan is a very weak leader that can't withstand to stand alone even when it means his doing the right thing,has Tinubu changed his mind with the way you are shouting?infact he keep on doing what is Right,though deep down within you ,you know subsidy removal is the best,but you don't want to admit it because is coming from sombody you hates even before election,don't forget ,obi also promise the same right from day 1 he will removed it,so you shouting now shows is because of your hatred,you just want your candidate to rule nothing more,Anyway ,cry more ,you still have 7 years

travelzcruix:
Kaduna! It's like receiving chill Coke and hot jollof inside hell fire. I'd rather buy a plate of food @ 10k somewhere else where my peace of mind is gauranteed.

Pls where did you base that you think is safe?

Watianoengineer:
What's the essence of buying cheap food and getting kidnapped by bandits demanding millions wey no dey? If they like make them share una free food for Kaduna, I rather stay down south.

Pls you are typing from where?

Nazgul:
I stopped taking Nigerians serious after APC won in Edo state. It's very clear that despite the suffering and how people keep complaining, they'll still vote for Tinubu come 2027. We've not yet learnt our lesson.

Mention 3 best performing Govonors in Nigeria and their party?

JoeyNaza:
What happenned when the spineless Jonathan attempted to take hard decisions. Your beloved Tinubu went out to protest with his unintelligible folks, now you clowns want to make yesterday's hard decision today.

That really shows Jonathan is not fit to be a leader,Best decision,yet he can't stand on what is 👍 ght for the country,he was moved by what opposition will say,just imagine if it obi that is the president now,he must have revorked most of the policy that he is sde they are good but he will be scared that people won't bite for him second Time.

Tinubu is not thinking of second now ,what he is doing is what he is sure is the best for the country and no amount of intimidation can make him change his mind

Cj4charles:
Woke should allow this man to focus for Christ sake.. Peter Odili, Amaechi allowed him to govern for 8 years without disturbance. You are no longer a governor, accept the bitter truth

Wike fought Amaecchi till he is tied ,yet he delivered good government,what has this guy done since he become the governor,more than a year now

RollinTNDA:
Yes

They bring it only at midnight when everybody is sleeping.

Then take it immediately everybody wake up in the morning...

No light again until midnight

Shey na wichtes and wizards Dem dey on light for??

. Na night sub you sub for your area

naijaboy756:
Maybe na this guy go save Nigeria

I wonder how we handed our dear country to persons with funny head shape

T-Pain and Gardoso Abi cardi b

They keep doing their great job of destroying the country while claiming to be reformers

We did not know we were in paradise under PDP

I know you must be a small boy,but ask people that are much older than you ,that which regim did we have the highest sales of crude oil ,yet we are still borrowing under that regim,ask them,what did the then minsiter of finance in person of nkowjo iwela said about what will happen with the next govt after them? We had the highest crude oil sales during that regim yet one refinary can't be repaired ,mention any mess now that is not iherited or originated from Pdp regim

EmekaBlue:
Nigeria house of reps should face better issues abeg. What is this?!

Issue like what? Which issue is greater than this,did you know what it means to send somebody small like Bobriaky to prison and did not go

Aile:
The question is why won't they allow dangote to sell pms to marketers directly like diesel?

They did not stop any martjeter to buy from dangote,is just that it is unwiße for any marketer to buy from them

chukwuibuipob:
24 Hrs ooo.Nah money E dey chopped sha..Neighbours are now switching off @8AM and ON @9PM

is better ,that is what advanced country do, you only on light when you need them,not just on your light on and went out

BabaO2:
Yes, he's correct on the availability, but not affordable.
Band A pricing is not reaonable, they would have made more money on BandB. Nigerians with their unreasonable excesses of extorting the masses.

Pls,let get the light stable first before subsidizing it

IFECHIGCON:
Federal government of propaganda which 20 hours minimum Light

The light for your area no stable?

eskuvoisrael:
By the time one says yes,they will interrupt the little supply

Lolz,but give kudos to them for this little one now

Kukutenla:
Power generation majorly comes from gas? True

Power generation is boosted by availability of hydro? True

If you have lived in Nigeria long enough like me you will know power supply generally improves during the rainy season. That's also what made Jonathan say light improved in 2014 on CNN and haters jumped on his back.

See you in January

But this year is exceptional

PrickGetShoulder:
Wallahi na suffer we dey suffer here.

Which place?

Ijaya123:
Yes. Even more than 20 hours in some days.

There are some days that there wont be power outage at all. But it comes at a cost.




Which raining season are you talking about. Sure you don't know that our power generation majorly comes from gas

Let get stable light first before subsidizing it

givedemwotowoto:
Check the same month in previous years as far back as 15 years, and tell us how it went

Electricity always improves during the rainy season every year

This year own is exceptional, don't try to shy away from that fact

blacknp:
Always try to speak only for yourself, because i do get the average 20 hours of electricity daily, even b4 we were moved to band A.

From 64 Naira to 206 KWH no be joke.

We are not taking about the charges ,we are saying ,do you get value for your money?let get stable light first and now see how we can subsidize it

oliverwrites:
I am on band A and I get on average 23 hours per day, for 4 months now.

However, I am not sure up to 10% not to talk of 40% of Nigeria homes get up to 40%. Adelabu just lied.

I am not on band A but I can't attest to it y area now have light upto 20 hrs in a day,but that issue is our transformers,light will be in other area but my transformer will just trip off

Sapasenator:
They have mentored each other to scam gullible Nigerians. Father and son isonu!

Lolz,when last fif you attend church?

hisgrace090:
Let's look into roads too as most major roads in the state is delapidated.
No any good road leading to nnewi as of today.
Is it from agulu, oba, or uga that one has long bn abandoned.

That money for that pelrjoect is enough to build 5 good roads in Anmabra

Bestmanfornow:
Massive Projects going on in Anambra state still the governor yet to borrow

How does this project affect the life's of a common man
