When the Russian ruble suffered at the beginning of the war against Ukraine, it bounced back within 48 hours due to strict economic policies they implemented immediately, I honestly don't think Tinubu has the right idea to push things up that quickly because with his recent body languages, it appears he's getting tired of the situation already. May we not miss Buhari. Ormo, even me sef, e don dey red o. This one no be brother thing, I gaz complain because I be human being too.

I tried recharging my prepaid Meter all through yesterday June 30th, all failed; maybe the traffic of panic buying of the old rate being the last day was responsible for the glitch. Woke up very early this morning to recharge and boom it went just at the 1st trial, chai!!!

I recharged 20k and I got 267 units in return. I was shocked. Usually 1500 is for the 7.5%(VAT). I quickly did the maths 18500 divided by 267.(something). So my tariff now is around 69 Naira per KWH. Mehn, cold gripped me, before now when u buy 20k, u are good for a month due to epileptic power supply. Ironically we have been having 24hours power supply, only God knows if this will last up to 3 weeks sef.

Everything is increasing except for salaries that are on stunted growth. From Fuel, that has impacted directing on food cost and transportation. While this Electric tariff increment will have a larger impact on almost everything. But we all know that the Masses will bear the brunt if it all.

Which way o? How do a common Man survive with all these skyrocketing Bills?

The only logical thing to do is to cut cost,cut cost and cut cost.

Freezer's and light can't be on unnecessary. Once things are frozen just off the freezer. Look for energy saving bulbs.

I was one of those who was against the unplanned removal of subsidy. I support the removal,but is of the view that measures on how to tackle the effect of the removal, should be in motion first.

We might have backed different people during the election,but the reality on ground now is that we are now in this together.

The ones laughing the policies of the government,the ones supporting and even the neutral one,we are all in this together.

It's funny how they deliberately choked their system so people would not recharge at the old rate. I wonder how many people must have slept in darkness the last 3 days because their units finished.

If electricity pain you, then what of common refuse disposal wey dey charge 2k per month?

Renewal shege.. Taxing the poor, this is what PO preach against

APC has successfully minted you into the 133m poor Nigerians. LET ME EXPLAIN!

Fuel is N530/L, marketers eyeing N700/L already.

Official Dollar rate was at N490 but now N760.

Your salary was at N50k 4yrs ago but now N58k.

What you don't know is inflation rate 4yrs ago was 11.9% but now 24.5%

By this inflation rate you will need to earn N120k today to be able to afford what N50k salary could afford 4yrs ago but you're stuck on N58k.

APC HAS SUCCESSFULLY MINTED YOU INTO THE 133m POOR NIGERIANS.

May this shege not locate me and my family. Ire o!

Nigerians have already spent one full month with the subsidy and nobody is talking about it anymore, even the TUC & NLC that's supposed to speak have be bought. Everybody still goes to work like nothing happened. No riots, no protests, NOTHING.

Nigerians will rant, groan, cry about the tariff increase and go back to their normal Business with the GOD WILL HELP US mentality and that's where it ends.
TUC and NLC are dead lions. A living dog is better than them.

It's still the old rate.
Your assertion would have been clearer if you state your previous rate.
I bought 50k worth of units in May 2023, for which I got 668Unit(Same rate as yours)
Power supply in my area is 24/7 which is same as yours.
The proposed increment is at least #100/unit according to the circular in circulation.

At least you can manage your energy usage and only pay for what you use.

As for how we would survive.
Nigerians are very good at adapting to suffer.
To the extent that they even question enjoyment. If you are nice to them, they will think you want to use them for rituals. They are that used to suffer and wickedness.

The keyword here is SURVIVE.
We would SURVIVE.

They have increased their tariffs from their end without informing the public ..

I reside in Ikotun

Previously 2000 naira gives me 44 units of electricity

4000 gives me 98 units of electricity ..

I may or may not finish 98 units in a month ..

Tv,fans , energy saving bulbs, washing machine ...energy saving pressing iron
are the items I use ..

My freezers are in the shop where we use estimated billing ..

I was amazed getting 29 units for 2000 naira on June 27 2023...

My co tenants could not recharge from 28 till July 1st ..

These people are cheats ..



This implies they could tweak their computers to increase cost of electricity on selected days .

Brother, sorry to say that the sacrifices you are making is for elected and appointmented politicians' comfortability. They are quick to create problem for the masses, very, very slow to alleviate or soothe it. Secretly, they will make "dis-dat" allowances to take good care of any hardship in the course of doing what?
The joker will be unfolded when the so called salary increament will be ratio 1 : 4 of cost of living. Thus, the masses getting poorer and the ruling class getting richer.
