some are very mean they won’t write their number you must go office go pay. Na so dem run me when I got there I saw that the lady that did d job was around 47 years no husband. Very sad lady they gave me 300k I just went and continued with the bypass. Even if I must pay I will use that 300k double before paying. Shebi buhari go borrow imf money come talk say I’m wan increase electricity tariffs in order to pay back.

Lol sorry oh. Thats also true. Its weird because almost all ladies working in their various discos are mean bit*hes

Why want to add more burden to postpaid customers on your Transformer?

Now, let me explain how estimated billing methodology works.

We have a metered Transformer with a total 50,000 kWh reading for April.

A total population of 70 customers with 30 of them being Prepaid meter customers while 40 are estimated.

Now, the energy recorded and paid for from all prepaid meters is deducted from the 50,000 kWh while the remaining after removing (atc&c) is shared to all postpaid customers.

So, for every Bypass you do, just know you're indirectly pushing those energy hungry appliances cost to those without a meter.

Do not be decieved, your transformer is metered and the DISCOS sometimes are not to be blamed because they would get their money for the little service you feel they rendered.

What your transformer consumes from their HT feeder is also being accounted and paid for to the Generating companies.

Meter bypass is very evil.

If you see your neighbors bypassing their meter without informing the Discos, yet you complain of high bills, just know you're indirectly paying for that meter bypass.

Why not propose a solution/way forward with your Landlady. See if the Disco offers discounts for clearing up arrears, agree with your Landlady you'd pay up the arrears Whilst you get an equivalent waiver for your next rent(This agreement should be documented)

If your Landlady refuses, just know she's mean and evil.

You should consider getting a new apartment.

Now here's a tip, before you get any apartment, visit the nearest DISCO office to find out what the payment history of the apartment looks like. This information is usually free

Tell them.
All the houses in VI,lekki, maitama, asokoro bypass their metres. All of them. Both church, school govt org and parastals.
And we want a magic wand that will transform Nigeria.

Update Us Abeg

No really update, after going to their offices twice, they place a fine of 250k on the meter for me, no solution than I have to pay 250k as fine, imagine that, I’ve reconnect the light back to use my remaining credit on the meter before it runs to loss. Now I have to provide 250k if I want to continue using the meter.


That’s the update

Good for you. I wish they billed you more. You deserve it. You had to put your burden on other people. Those with estimated billings in your area are the ones suffering it because your bills will be calculated with theirs. Go and read more about how it works and go and pay your debt.

Kindly ask your question here and I will respond

I need some advice because whilst I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong I don’t know if that’s enough to stay out of trouble

Many months ago I called the nepa officer of my area to help me fix what I thought was a problem with the meter in my rented flat he came, took my meter and the remote and left claiming it needed specialist aid.

Due to this I was forced to switch to estimated bill which at the time wasn’t a bad thing (I’m a student living with other students off campus) it was about 5k then so I didn’t mind but it’s been over a year now and he has been giving the same ambiguous excuse as to why the meter wasn’t ready (no parts)

Recently I learned the officer has been moved else where and now with the inflation of charges I had to find out what was going on with my meter only to be told by another officer that it had probably been sold off and is being used somewhere else in the city (an assumption I later confirmed)

Knowing fully well myself and flatmates couldn’t possibly Keep up with the current monthly estimate bill of 10k (which they claimed would only increase in the months to come) I decided that rather than go completely without power I would just go home and pick up an old meter that my dad wasn’t using anymore and be using that in the mean time this meter is basically brand new and hasn’t been tampered with what so ever. so my question to the Nairaland community now is:
When these useless nepa people come to do their monthly visits how do I convince them that:
1. The meter is genuine and hasn’t been tampered with
2. That owing to the fact that my meter was basically stolen by one of their own they should understand my situation; I have ALWAYS paid nepa bills on time and in proper fashion but the current estimate bill rates for power THAT I DON’T EVEN SEE TO USE is was just not possible for me to keep paying and this was my only option
