The bold is very false. Electricity is very expensive. That is the reason we don't have regular power and most people are not ready to pay.
I have seen people who complain about estimated billing end up tampering their prepaid meter to
stop reading it is too costly.

These free loaders and serial debtors end up increasing the overall cost for everybody and make investment impossible.

We’re generating just enough to go round. It’s the distribution that’s our problem.

Talk to any top brass (that’s your friend) and they’ll tell you that’s the reason we don’t have regular power.

People tampering with their meters are just greedy people.

If estimated billing isn’t a money making venture for them, they would have distributed meters long ago. And trust me, there are meters rotting away in their stores.

Ask any disconnection official that comes to cut your light and they’ll give you the inside info.

They week after my prepaid meter was installed, two separate teams that used to come and remove my wire without knocking on my door came and saw the meter and they were like no more money for them from my compound again. It pained them.

Nice

You are a fool man you want to kill your wife because your car was pounded. God save you that the woman still alive. However government should look at the complaints of people regard untrained called lastma , before everything get out of the hands .

Can’t you read?

Wtf?

It's called capitalism

Don't complain to me...the fact is, they are putting more money on your bill from the people who don't pay

People like the ones in the video above.

That is a big part of the reason why I don't have sympathy for them.

40% of Nigerians don't pay for power...putting burden on the 60% who do pay.

If you want to get angry with anyone...get angry with those who don't pay their bills.

Good afternoon

*sigh

Every man to his opinion sha.

Oya, where were you when government was holding hearings on privatisation of power in 2013?

You people could have come out enmasse and protested against it. But you all kept quiet.

Now power is privatized, meaning costs go up, and will continue to go up...because discos and gencos need to pay the salaries of their workers, who are ordinary Nigerians like you and me. Government funds them not.

Sorry about that. You should have talked in 2013.

Chances are you don’t live in the country so you have not heard about estimated billing.

Now let me tell you my story; as at December last year, after numerous trips to ikedc office and petitions, my bill went down from 90k to 60k monthly.

I got a prepaid meter installed in May, on the 6th to be precise and I know how much I still paid for for a 3 phase 4 wire meter.

Would you believe that the first 200 units that comes with the meter is what I’m still using till today, 28th June? I think I have about 94 units left.

Now if my calculations are correct, 200 units of electricity will cost about N10,000 +/- when I go to vend the meter.

Please mr protest and mr all knowing. Do the math.

From December to April, I have accrued about N240k in nepa bills save for the 20k,30k I usually pay out of those bills monthly.

I can tell you for a fact that electricity is not expensive. They (distributors) have just decided to be fraudulent because they saw an avenue and good excuse to extort people whom they have refused or slept on giving them prepaid meters.

And you’re here talking about protests. Mtchewww

Only the enlightened will see through this northern/apc charade.

What do they have on Ortom to influence this foolishness?

Beancounter93:
No problem, they will get free electricity...at the expense of those who do pay for power.

Meanwhile, they will continue asking why they don't have power 24/7...and it is because of people in the video who don't want to pay anything for power....

No money to improve things.

Oya justify billing of N80k per month.

Abi na you dey pay bill pass na

Children of this days are dumb!

That’s what you get when you have quota system products making education policies

Quota system

I will agree the nin thing was rubbish.

They just disenfranchised a lot of students with that thing.

Interesting.

How much was invested and lost?

File a petition with the appropriate agencies.

Since that letter was not from a real law firm, file a police report for forgery and threat to life.

You want to force sharia on me but you don’t want me to force the eucharist on you.

How is that fair? How does it make sense?

Nice!

Technocrats that will not add value to their Local, States and National development. Technocrats from 1960 till 2021..... counting. Nigeria still run to Turkey, India, Brazil, UAE, S. Korea for help. I don't want to mention Europe & America.

Lol may your diarrhea never seize.

Not Nigeria again, but Nigerians. Influencer job na work. They can continue on Instagram and Facebook now.

It’s just like telling a pediatrician to become a gyno because pediatrics has been banned. They’re both medicine but after years of building and hardwork, you can’t just come and tear something down like that.

Do you get it now?

There are specialists in all spheres and destroying their means of livelihood and telling them to switch to another thing they have no working experience and training for is plain wicked.

Voa hausa?

Hmm
