I stay in Aba and my feeder is probably the worst. Anyone that stays in Aba and has knowledge about the feeders should know that 33 Ukwa feeder has always been in bad shape. I can go 4-5 days with blackout and the rest 2 days can't even boast of total 8 hours of electricity.

When NERC announced that they have increased the tariff of band A from 66 naira to 225 naira, I found the announcement ridiculous. I get around 8 hours of power supply a week and my last payment around December last year was 82 naira per kwh.

This morning, I decided to check the current tariff on my meter and I saw 95.7 naira per kwh.

From my observation, the band rating is a scam. Many customers are wrongly classified. Many are even paying higher than the Band A.

Q

What about the power plant that your governor commissioned that is giving you 24hrs power supply?…

States are now being allowed to manage their own electricity

Those who have been wrongly grouped into wrong band should have spoken out before this new tariff. If you have not been using expected hours of light based on your band, then it's time to speak out

Before any area can be grouped to any band, they must have considered the maximum hours of light they would be receiving weekly, the scam mist have been from the local disco abi wetin be their name self

Very true. They want to make it look like it's the richest of the rich that'd be affected whereas probably up to 70% would be affected. I recharged yesterday night and I got less than one-third of what I used to get. I stay in Abuja, but not in highbrow areas like Maitama, Asoroko, Wuse, but I'm classified under their useless Band A. Imagine being classified under the same rating with people living in mansions whereas where you live, a BR flat isn't up to ₦300K.

Paraman:
If you're using more than 20hours power supply everyday, I don't understand why you should be complaining

In other words, if Nigeria has 24hrs power supply, it doesn't matter if the least we're spending on recharge-units is more than 80% of our monthly income??

Nigeria is all scam ..

Just gather a group of boys .. give em uniform and ticket.. you don Dey chop

All government appointees.. staffs .. private service providers.. all .. walahi all .. are just waiting to cash out.
Everyone involved is just there for the funds .. opportunities are blessings

Corruption is what strives it all.. .. funny no one really cares.

They keep digging a dot till it becomes a hole.. then deep well

God help Nigerians

Like this no going back.. the next set .. will just continue to cash out from where others stopped


Complaining changes nothing .. pray and hustle enough to meet up

Las las .. you’re on your own

Plus nairaland minus Social media ..

The governor and Aba power DISCO never said the whole of Aba is enjoying 24 hours of power supply.

The evacuation of power from geometric power plant to the feeders has been a slow process. Only minority of the feeders have been connected to the power plant.

I thought there was 24/ light in that place, according to the lying propagandists?

That being said, all electricity distribution companies should also supply prepaid meters to all their customers because I know some unscrupulous criminal ones don't.

In fact, every state government should invest in electricity to compete with those who were handed the distribution companies after privatisation yet couldn't manage and improve on it.

There are several competent affordable renewable energy investors which a state government can invest and partner with. For example the Siemens investors. Or Energy China Group investors such as Jiangsu clean energy which built ossiomo for example & also Zhongyuan. They are also good at photovoltaic energy which can also be combined. There are also other competent affordable energy investors.

Our electrical engineering colleges and graduates should also help in energy production.

Let me see

APC!!!!! Change
Change Nigeria
All of us go suffer am

Shege pro max

I know they were lying when they said only the so called band A were affected. They just wanted to make sure Nigerians don't protest. Because they know that once Nigerians think something doesn't concern them, they'll not bother to question it

Let me see

I have a bad News and a good News. The good News is that all these are guaranteed to end soon. The bad News is how:

The thing is we sincerely do not know how much exactly we use.
I purchased 2k light on Saturday and I am about to buy another one today. To think I am even on the worst disco (ibadan electric).

But I thought you guys are enjoying 24/7 power supply in Aba

Lol and all thanks to Emi lokan gangs.

I have temporary escape Nigeria to a neighboring country where life is somehow stable.


Lol


Let me be here and be reading how Una dey manage for that side.


Common indomie I was very scared to buy.

Odeh, it has nothing to do with power plant but distribution feeder in his location.
Many of the areas are facing blackouts because their old transformers cannot withstand 24hrs supply, its like buying a new engine for an old Danfo and putting it on a long journey from Lagos to Maiduguri without looking at the tires, radiator, electrical wiring, break pad etc because you have a new engine (power plant)

You guys are too funny 😂

Cool down. They are still in the testing phase, to make sure the thing is working well.

Tinubu is just out to scam us, increase bills without any tangible improvement

I charged N20k yesterday and got over 300 units, and we get power for about 12hrs each day.

Some of the units people are posting is shockingly expensive.

I would not be surprised if, over the coming months, the discos started putting more and more people under the now dreaded Band A without their knowledge.

Ok

his area is still connected to the old grid. Not all parts of the state has been switched to the new grid

Another NEPA case on front page. NEPA is a goal

Nigeria is just a scam country. Too many government agency ripping people. Forget all those band A trash talk. They will add it to all band and everyone will just lock up as usual. I sorry for those without meter
